She says the main goal of the curriculum is to engage children in the learning process. This term, for example, her class is learning about historical figures.“I got the children to come in secret and dress up with several clues of a famous person. They had to research and bring us 10 written clues and the rest of the class had to guess who these significant people were,” says Kerr. “So the children do not simply do the same thing, the same work, sheet type of format every single time.”One size does not fit all educations these days, says educator Martin Skelton, who co-authored the IPC eight years ago, he says for kids to learn and succeed, they need a program that allows them to learn individually.“Our view is the teachers should really be thinking about their kids in their class and why they are not learning and trying to work out what they are going to be doing tomorrow to help individual kids learn much better.” Another important goal, Skelton says, is preparing today’s children to become 21st century leaders. “Most of world problems are going to be solved internationally now. I mean no single country is going to solve the environment or terrorism. It’s a multi co-operational activity.”To make that possible, he says, the curriculum focuses on developing inquiring minds and personal qualities so children become good citizens of the world.“We have very specific activities built in the curriculum around the development of international mindedness right from the age five onwards. We encourage the kids to mingle with schools in other countries and then of course things like skype now make that fantastically easy to do.”“We did have a big fair ‘Around the World in a Day’. We had 51 nationalities represented. We had parents and they put together a wonderful exhibition.” Emma Northey is head of Primary Learning at the British School in Boston. She describes one activity designed to teach kids about similarities among different cultures.“The children were each given a passport. They basically knew that they were going around the world in a day and we said to them, ‘You have to come back with two similarities that you had seen between the different cultures. Even the three year olds came back to me saying, ‘Gosh, you know everybody writes. Some people write going down. Some people write from left to right, some from right to left.’”Kate Foy of the British School in Washington D.C. says the children have to live the learning experience and deliver their findings in the form they prefer, such as an oral presentation, an art form, or in writing. The teacher’s role has also changed.“The teacher’s role is to facilitate the learning in their classroom, to enable those students to discover for themselves. And you kind of have to sit back a little bit, you know. You have to make sure you’re asking the right questions. You maneuver yourself around the classroom and enable the children to learn as opposed to telling them and kind of spoon feeding them. It’s absolutely no question. There’s no way. There is no room for spoon feeding when it comes to the IPC.”IPC’s co-author Martin Skelton says the feedback so far is encouraging. Students and teachers say the curriculum makes the classroom more exciting.Section 3. Short Answer Questions:90% of us consider stress an inevitable part of our lives but it doesn’t have to be that way. We all know what it feels to be like under stress. Yet most of us don’t know why we experience such condition. Let us look how stress works. Doctors call about this body reaction to stressful events, general adaptation syndrome(普通适应综合症). During tense times, our bodies release adrenaline(肾上腺素) and corticosteroids(皮质类固醇). This reaction, (1) the Fight or Flight Response was designed to help man defend himself. The Fight or Flight Response is healthy in small doses. Unfortunately, exposure to continuous stressors压力因素like traffic jams or piles of work causes many of us to remain in this heightened state for hours or even days. The result of this constant attention includes both short term effects like tense muscles and rapid heart rate. And, (2) long term ones like high blood pressure, a weakened immune system and depression.The good news is we have got ten tips that can help.Let us start with diet. Research has shown that B-Complex and C Vitamins and the minerals, Magnesium(镁) and Zinc(锌) can help to ease stress symptoms. Vitamin C and Magnesium lowers stress levels because they help the brain produce Serotonin(血清素), a hormone that regulates mood. Zinc and Vitamin B-Complex fight free radicals (基), a term that refers to toxins(毒素) found in the air and the harmful by-products of digestion. (3) Fresh vegetables, fruits, almonds, fish and whole grains contain these essential vitamins and minerals and are great stress fasting foods.You can also combat stress with a supplement. St. John’s Wort is an herb that inhibits stress hormones and increases Serotonin levels in the brain.Your approach can help too. Remembering that tension is a natural part of life can help curb your response to it. Take a minute to remind yourself that these two shall pass. Sometimes a gentle touch or acupressure (指压按摩) can relieve stress. One point, lieu (替代) one is priced for easing emotional stress and tense breathing. Find lieu one by sitting in a comfortable chair with your backs straight. Use your thumbs to press outside of your upper chest, just below your first rib. Maintain pressure for one minute. (4) Another effective way to end your stress response is with simple meditation. For best results, set aside 10-20 minutes for calmer reflection.meditation n. 冥想,沉思reflection n. 反思If you prefer more formal approach, try this Yoga meditation technique. Sit quietly with eyes close. Pick a short phrase or word that calms you like “uhm” or “peace”. Repeat the word as you clear your mind and relax your muscles. When meditating, always remember to breathe. (5)Deep relaxing breaths in and out through the nose help relieve stress. Even without meditation, justfive minutes of deep breathing can be quite beneficial. And finally if you are feeling stressed, take a time out to do something you enjoy, your body and mind will thank you. Stress is no fun but with the little know-how, you can control your response to it, ensuring the calmer, happier you.

上海交通大学英语讲义Exercise Four听力答案与原文Exercise FourSection 1. Compound DictationBeing the mother of two potentially bilingual children (the youngest is only three months old) and the teacher of French and English bilingual children, the subject of bilingualism is very important to me. In fact we have recently moved to China and are now considering multilingualism. But what are the advantages of learning several languages from an early age? What are the dangers? What?s the best way to teach your child two or more languages (1) simultaneously? I don?t suggest I have the answers here but like most mothers and teachers I certainly have a point of view!What is a bilingual child?The way I see it, being bilingual means being able to (2) communicate almost perfectly in two languages and also knowing something about both cultures. If I take the example of my daughter it?s about being able to understand when someone is speaking another language and being able to switch (3) automatically into speaking it with them. At two and a half she has already grasped the concept of ?Daddy speaks French and Mummy speaks English?. She has even picked up that Bai Yuoine speaks Chinese! I think it?s very important for her to know that the (4) cartoon character Noddy is also called Oui Oui by her friends at playgroup and that Marmite and Cadburys chocolate exist as well as croissants. This is what makes it possible for her to communicate with the people around her (5) regardless of whether they are French or English.Why encourage bilingualism?In our case it is logical that with an English mother and French father our children should be able to speak both languages to communicate, not only with us, but with their grandparents and (6) extended family. On a wider scale learning two or more languages helps children to accept cultures other than their own. If speaking their mother tongue(s) at home and at school is (7) encouraged they are more likely to enjoy their difference and view difference in general as a positive thing.How do you raise a bilingual child?There may be a dominant language and this will normally depend on the country you live in or the language your child uses most at school. However,it will also depend on what language is spoken in the home. We lived in France and spoke French at home but I always speak to my children in English. It?s (8) imperative that the child has consistency. They know that their English auntie will always speak to them in English and that for her to understand them they should speak to her in English.What are the dangers?It can be very difficult for people around you to support what you do.(9)Grandparents can be upset if they don?t understand what you?re saying totheir grandchild and worry that they will never be able to communicate with them. (Please pause here for 40??-50??)This is of course highly unlikely and you should stick to your guns.Another problem we have encountered was when our daughter refused tolisten to either of us. (10)A psychologist advised us that as there wasn?t a common language at home between the parents and child and so I should stop speaking English and spend the weekend speaking only in French. (Please pause here for 40??-50??) Thankfully I decided to ignore this piece of advice and persisted with my English! I also know of one child who had problems atschool because his friends made fun of him. His parents eventually gave up speaking English to him. Unfortunately children can be cruel and differences whatever they may be are often a source of bullying. Differences need to be promoted and valued and celebrations such as the International Mother Language Day help to do just that.International Mother Language Day21st February 2000 saw the first Mother Language Day celebrated internationally. However the importance of this date originated in Bangladesh where in 1952 a handful of students, now known as language martyrs, werekilled in demonstrations defending Bangla, their mother language. (11) In 1999 UNESCO decided to take this cause onto an international scale in order to encourage cultural diversity and worldwide tolerance. (Please pause here for 40??-50??)Section 2. Note-taking1) always spanked and hit2) they commit crimes and abuse their wivies and children 3) grow up tobe violent4) a lawyer and psychologist. 5) a form of discipline. 6) doesn?t hurt children 7) family researcher 8) decreasing9) corporal punishment 10) a child psychologistSection 3. Short Answering Questions. Keys:1. less than four years ago2. it would no longer publish a print edition3. a survey about the use of e-books by library patrons4. free e-book check-outs at the library will hurt sales5. six months after it?s releasedE-books catch on at public libraryComplete the following sentence: “You go to the library to check out...?”The obvious answer is “books.” But a harder question might be, “What do we mean by ?book??”Electronic books or “e-books,” have established a firm foothold in American society.The big online bookseller Amazon, for instance, recently announced thatless than four years after introducing them to its catalog, it?s now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones.And this past April, Encyclopedia Britannica, the world?s oldest andlargest maker of encyclopedias - a staple at any library - announced it would no longer publish a print edition. Last week, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a survey about the use of e-books by library patrons. Itfound that 12 percent of Americans age 16 and older who read e-books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58 percent ofthose who have library cards and 53 percent of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e-books from public libraries, even though three-quarters of the libraries offer that service.。

Key to Exercise TwoSection 1. Compound DictationMartha Leathe’s belief is derived from(come from)her experience with children, not so much the one she is taught but her own, the task of raising children is often a test of belief as parents come to realize that their actions provide the lessons that children (1) assimilate同化to be similar . Here is Martha Leathe with her essay for this I believe.Several weeks ago, I got a call from a good friend whose husband had just been diagnosed with (被诊断为)prostate cancer(前列腺癌). “Do we tell the kids?” she asked.“Absolutely,” I answered.“Do we use the C-word (cancer委婉语)?”“Yes, I think you do,” I said. “The boys deserve to know the truth, however heartbreaking it is.”Adults always insist that children be honest, but how many of us are honest with our kids, particularly about the tough stuff: death, sex, (2) corruption(腐败), our own failings?I believe in telling children the truth. I believe this is vital for their understanding of the world, their (3) confidence and the development of their morals and values.This does not mean kids need to be unnecessarily (4) frightened, or told more than they can handle. When our son was 6, he tagged along紧跟,尾随while his older sister got her nose-ring changed. In the shop, he sifted through (check and sort carefully)a big bin of brightly (5) packaged condoms. “What are these?” he said.“Condoms,” I replied.“What are they for,” he asked. Briefly, I explained what condoms are, (6) precisely where you put them and how they work.“Oh,”he said, clearly (7) disappointed, I think, that they weren’t candy. It wasn’t a lot of information, but it was the truth.Many people think they are protecting children when they spare them the truth. I disagree. I believe children (8) possess an enviable (to be envied) ability to cope with and make sense of what even adults find confounding困惑的.When we are honest with children, we also validate their intuition. If we can admit that, yes, people can be mean, grandma does have a drinking problem, divorce is painful, we allow children to trust their gut. (9) They can begin to recognize and rely on their own inner voice, which will speak to them throughout their lives.Kids also have an uncanny (surpassing the normal异乎寻常) sense of when something is up: They realize when we’re uneasy, they can tell when we’re lying.One night, I was in the car with our two oldest daughters. (10) It was dark and cozy — the perfect time for a heart-to-heart conversation.Out of the blue, one of our kids said, “So, Mom, have you ever smoked pot(大麻)?” I stalled a little, but the girls persisted. They had me, and they knew it. So I told them the truth, albeit(虽然)somewhat abridged(缩略). What ensued was a frank discussion about the lures and perils of drugs. I believe my honesty was much more effective than warnings or platitudes(陈词滥调).These same daughters are in college now; we have two other kids still at home. (11) And while I have made plenty of mistakes as a parent, I do have clear and open relationships with each of our kids. I believe that my being truthful with our children has paid off, because I’m pretty sure that now they are honest with me.上述是一篇叙述型的文章,不是考试类型,就练习一下dictation题型及熟悉语音语调和速度。
Exercise OneSection pound Dictation.This is the VOA Special English Health Report.Rice is an important part of many people’s diets. (1)Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Massachusetts havereleased a report about rice. It shows that eating white rice increases the risk of Type Two diabetes. However, eating brown rice reduces the risk of the disease.The World Health Organization says more than two hundred twenty million people worldwide have diabetes. Type Two diabetes results when the body cannot (2) effectively use the sugar it produces.More than thirty-nine thousand men and one hundred fifty-seven thousand women took part in the study. They were asked about their diet and day-to-day activities, as well as any (3) pre-existing diseases. The study found that the people who ate five or more servings of white rice per week had a seventeen percent increased risk of (4)developing Type Two diabetes. But those who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week had an eleven percent reduced risk of getting the disease.Brown rice is the (5) grain in its natural form. White rice results after it has been refined. This involves (6) removing the outer cover, including the husk, bran and germ. Only the inner white kernel is left. White rice is often (7) enriched to replace some nutrients lost during the refining process.Qi Sun is the lead writer of the report. He says the outer parts of brown rice slow down the work of the body’s (8) digestive enzymes into starch. This means that the release of sugar into the bloodstream is slower after eating brown rice compared to white rice.A diet of foods that quickly release sugar into the bloodstream has been linked with a greater risk of Type two diabetes. (9) The exact reason for this is not known.(Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’)Doctor Sun says less refined grains have more nutritional value than refined grains. He says replacing white rice with whole grains like whole wheat or barley (10) could result in a thirty-six percent lower chance of developing Type Two diabetes. (Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’) He says people should replace white rice and other refined carbohydrates with whole grains whenever possible.However, brown rice does not last as long as white rice because of the oil-rich layer of bran. (11) This makes it less usable in poor communities. (Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’) The International Rice Research Institute is working to develop kinds of white rice whose starch is released more slowly.And, that’s the VOA Special EnglishHealth Report.

Note-takingKey:1. budget problems2. the weak economy3. increased prices for food and fuel4. property taxes and sales taxes5. were having budget problems6. receiving free or reduced price lunches at school7. finance public schools and to help young people attend collegeScript:Education Report - School, and Family, Budgets Under PressureFifty million public school children in America are starting a new school year. The number is a record high. Yet, at the same time, school systems in many areas are facing budget problems.The weak economy is not the only cause. Another reason has to do with increased prices for food and fuel. They mean higher costs for school meals and bus transportation.The United States will spend more than five hundred billion dollars on public education for the coming school year. The federal government helps pay, but the responsibility for education is mostly on state and local governments.Two major sources of money for public schools are property taxes and sales taxes. A slowdown in consumer spending, the engine of the economy, means fewer goods to tax. And the collapse of the housing market means less money to collect in property taxes.A report in July from the National Conference of State Legislatures said thirty-one of the fifty states were having budget problems. And the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says school officials in at least eleven states have cut or proposed cuts in education.Florida, for example, has cut school aid by about two percent per student. State officials say tax collections are low and lottery sales have fallen by one hundred million dollars. Florida and many other states use money from sales of lottery tickets to help pay for education.Around the country, the economic slowdown has added to the numbers of children receiving free or reduced price lunches at school. In other words, many of the same economic problems that have hit school budgets have also hit family budgets.Each year, the education group Phi Delta Kappa and the Gallup organization gather opinions about American public schools. This year’s poll found support for increased use of federal taxes to finance public schools and to help young people attend college.People were also asked which presidential candidate they would vote for if they were voting on the basis of a desire to strengthen the public schools. Forty-six percent chose Democrat Barack Obama. Twenty-nine percent chose Republican John McCain.In the last two presidential elections, the poll found Americans equally split on which candidate would be more supportive of the schools.Section 3.Short Answering Questions.Foreign Student Series, Special English, VOAThis is the VOA Special English Education Report.This week, in part nine of our Foreign Student Series, we talk about getting a student visa to come to the United States.Just getting accepted to an American college or university does not guarantee that you will get a visa. And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.Travel documents come from the Department of State. But (1) immigration is the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security.The State Department has a Web site with all the rules for getting a visa. The address is . Unitedstatesvisas is all one word.(2) If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate. You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.(3) You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education.And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. (4) The cost is two hundred dollars.You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school in the United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, (5) you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student. We will talk more about what that means next week.And that’s t he VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach.Section 4. Listening and Translation到本世纪中这个比例可以达到70%,近65亿人口。

In many films, characters smoke cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. In the past, researchers have documented how adolescents in the United States are influenced by watching those images of smoking on the screen. They found that kids who watch many movies where characters smoke are more likely to try smoking themselves.Dr. James Sargent, a researcher with Dartmouth University Medical School in New Hampshire, says those research findings are strong and consistent, but he says that many people are skeptical (怀疑的)when they hear that movies might contribute to adolescent smoking. “How can movies be responsible for a third of adolescent smoking when there‟s o nly, you know, 30 secondsto a minute of smoking in every movie? So what we wanted to do with this study was really scale (测量)the exposure for people so that they understood how much exposure kids really get when it comes to seeing these actors modeling smoking on the big screen.”Sargent and some international colleagues counted how often images of smoking were seen by adolescents. They watched about 500 popular movies and counted the images of smoking in each. Then they multiplied that number of images by the number of adolescents estimated to have seen the films. They estimate that billions of images of smoking in American films that are seen by kids around the world.“So it is a big international problem to the extent that American movie companies are exporting smoking in youth-rated movies, the kids in other countries are seeing the smoking, and it‟s positioning smoking as something they want to do,” he concludes.Sargent says almost nothing else compares with smoking in terms of public health problems around the world. Millions of people die annually of diseases caused by smoking: lung and other cancers, heart disease and respiratory(呼吸的)diseases. Sargent says many of those people started smoking during their adolescent years.“We‟ve already shown pretty convincingly that seeing smoking in movies is delivering kids to the tobacco industry,”he says. “So the movie industry has some responsibility here. The movie industry could do something that would eliminate smoking in youth-rated movies, they could rate smoking R (for restricted).”He notes that‟s what public health activists are trying to get filmmakers to do. And if they did that, it would eliminate 60 percent of growth of impressions the kids in his sample had seen.Sargent notes that‟s that public health activists are trying to get filmmakers to do. He said that if Hollywood did that, it could eliminate 60 percent of impressions in his sample had seen. Sargent‟s research was published in the most recent issue of the journal Pediatrics(小儿科).Findings of past research: Kids who watch many movies where characters smoke are more likely to try smoking themselves.People‟s reaction to these findings: They are skeptical to the findings.Dr. James Sargent‟s studyPurpose: So what we wanted to do with this study was really scale the exposure for people and how much exposure kids really get when seeing these actors modeling smoking on the big screen.Method: Sargent and some international colleagues counted how often images of smoking were seen by adolescents.Conclusion: They estimate that the movie industry could do something that would eliminate smoking in youth-rated movies,Suggestions: If Hollywood did that, it could eliminate 60 percent of impressions in his sample had seen.Section 3.

They have also transported diseases such as influenza流行感冒flu, SARS, and tuberculosis肺结核.“I try to take travelers‟ shots and carry hand sanitizer洗手液sanitizer消毒剂,” she said.Yatta Montrell is flying to Hong Kong and Malaysia from Los Angeles. Every time she travels, she worries about getting sick.Some airports in the United States are able to spread disease more quickly, according to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.They looked at 1) the volume of traffic, the amount of long-range travel and connections from certain airports. New York‟s Kennedy airport and LAX in Los Angeles ranked highest by those measurements.Researcher Ruben Juanes was surprised that Honolulu‟s smaller airport 2) ranked third in its ability to spread a pandemic流行病. In a Skype interview with VOA, Juanes explains why.“It‟s in the middle of the ocean so virtually every connection is a long-range connection that can take away infected passengers very quickly over many thousands of kilometers. And even though the number of connections is small, again a large fraction of them are hubs(交通)枢纽in Asia or North America,” Juanes stated.MIT factored in the travel patterns of individuals: the length of their trips and layovers中途短暂停留.Thomas Valente, professor of preventive medicine预防医学at the University of Southern California, says 3) the study is a reminder that airports can spread pandemics more easily than other transportation hubs.“Airports move people around and, when you‟re at an airport, you have time to wait for a plane to leave or if you‟re meeting somebody for it to land,”said Valente. “So there‟s lots of people sitting in close proximity waiting for things to happen.”Sometimes a traveler catches a disease that originated far from home.“Not only will we see more pandemics but we are all globally at more risk to things that are happening in other places,” Valente added.Jonathan Samet heads the Institute for Global Health at the Universtiy of Southern California. “Many infections感染are spread just 4) simply by people touching the same surfaces that are contaminated,” he said. “So on airplanes again, bathrooms, doorknobs门把手are places where infections might spread.”Health experts say 5) frequent handwashing is a precaution travelers can take to prevent illness when they’re on the plane or at the airport.MIT‟s Ruben Juanes says the study may help forecast how disease will spread when another outbreak occurs.Section 4: Listening and Translating1.After 2 days of talks at the Camp David Presidential Retreat outside Washington, Mr. Obamasaid the eight leaders acknowledged that budget cuts alone will not restore Europe‟s economy.“And there‟s now an emerging consensus /that more must be done to /promote growth and job creation right now/ in the context of the fiscal and structural reforms.”emerge v. 冒出consensus n. 共识fiscal a.财政年度in the context of 在…环境中/背景下华盛顿外戴维营总统别墅的2天会谈后,奥巴马总统表示,8国集团领导人已达成共识,即仅靠消减预算不能让欧洲经济复苏:“现在我们已经达成一致/,即在财政和结构改革的背景下/,必须立即采取多种行动,/促进增长,创造就业机会。

Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard.However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equality advocate.★Text BComprehension Check: b a d b d c aLanguage Practice1. b d a e g c f h2.1) crisis 2) weighed down 3) supportive 4) takes all the credit 5) pleaded6) in control of 7) party 8) expense 9) lives for 10) semester11) at every opportunity 12) stirUnit 7★Text AVocabularyI.1. 1) S trictly s peaking 2) d rifted 3) r esembles 4) i nvaded 5) i s c onquered 6) f ascinating 7) s nack 8) p ut…into practice 9) source 10) climate 11) surrendered 12) were aroused2. 1) an absolute necessity rather than a luxury 2) is a valuable addition to the football team.3) will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4) alternative but to g via Vancouver to get to Seattle5) declared a ll b eef i mports w ill b e banned f or t he next s ix months as a n e mergency m easure t ostop the spread of mad c ow disease.3. 1) systematic, have invented, to a very real extent, mysteries2) to establish, to be modifies/ modifying 3) tolerance towards, strike out, enrichII. 1. a) wish b) wish c) want d) want/wish 2. a) skin b) hide/skin c) hide d) skin3. a) raise/rear b) raise c) rear/raise d) raise4. a) royal b) kingly/royal c) sovereignd) royal/kinglyIII. 1.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to manypeople,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by i t3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

Exercise ThreeSection 1. Compound DictationOn Monday, leaders from around the world will meet in Denmark for the United Nations Climate Change (1) Conference. But locally, people are working every day to improve the health of the planet in smaller ways. Pedal People in Northampton, Massachusetts, has found an (2) inventive way of transporting goods and services without creating (3) pollution. Mario Ritter tells us more.MARIO RITTER:Pedal People calls itself a worker-owned, human-powered transport service. It was started in two thousand two by Ruthy Woodring and Alex Jarrett. The city of Northampton does not provide trash and recycling (4) pick-up services.So, Mister Jarrett would take his recycling materials to the local center himself using his bicycle and a trailer. He and Miz Woodring thought that other people in town might pay them to remove trash and recycling materials instead of using a (5) private trash company that uses trucks.The two wanted to use bicycles as transport because they believe strongly in human power. They do not like the idea of depending on vehicles that use (6) gasoline. They created Pedal People as a way to create a useful service that helps the local economy and is (7) environmentally friendly. Miz Woodring says she enjoys bicycling everywhere. She can get to know her neighborhoods paths, enjoy the trees and experience the changes in weather.Today, Pedal People has twelve workers. More than four hundred people pay for their(8)services. And, the city of Northampton is one of their biggest customers.(9) The eleven owners of Pedal People not only pick up and remove trash and recycling. They also remove large objects such as washing machines, beds and refrigerators. The workers use trailer devices which link to their bicycles and can carry up to about one hundred thirty kilos. They also pick up and transport food to home owners. (10) And, they provide gardening services that are environmentally friendly. They do all this work year-round, even during the cold and snowy winter months in Massachusetts.We asked Ben Winter how he came to work for Pedal People. He said he has always been interested in different ways of making a living. (11) He said at first he just thought the idea of Pedal People was really cool. Now he says it has also become a rewarding livelihood.Section 2. Note-takingIntroduction—3 questions:1) to learn accurate pronunciation in a foreign language?2) achieve better results than others?3) who will achieve good pronunciation?4 significant factors:1) the mother tongue2) the learner’s attitude to pronunciation3) contact with native-speakers4) the student’s own natural ability (a good ear; the ability t o imitate)2 unimportant factors:Sex/gender; personalityConclusion: We have considerable influence over our own progress with pronunciation.Section 3. Short Answering Questions.If you could travel in time, where would you go?Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed tantalising. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, written by HG Wells in 1895, about a contraption that transports people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible?Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called ‘wormholes’,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship – going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the ‘grandfather paradox’. It asks what would happen if a time traveller were to go back in time and kill their own grandfather; and therefore prevent themselves from being born.If the time tr aveller wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? And would you really like to visit the future? In HG Wells’s book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black blob with tentacles.If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.Section 4. Listening & Translating1.Man is closely connected to the environment. Our environment provides us with fresh air tobreathe, clean water to drink, and various vegetables to eat. However, our environment is faced with many dangers. It is seriously polluted by chemical wastes from factories and garbage in cities. Trees are being cut down. Large areas of forests are being destroyed. And various animals are being hunted and killed. As a result, many kinds of plants and animals are disappearing from the earth.树木被砍伐、大片的森林被破坏、多种动物遭到猎杀。
Key to Exercise OneSection 1. Compound DictationA product recall产品召回is defined as the action taken to prevent the distribution, sales and use of a product which may pose a safety hazard to带来安全隐患consumers. Such action may be taken if there is possibility that the use of the product would cause health 1) consequences, injury or death.Recalls are costly to a company because they often entail(v./n. involve, cause 引起)replacing the recalled product or paying for the damage caused in use. In addition, there is also indirect cost following damage to a brand name and reduced trust in the 2) manufacturer. A good example is the recall of over 500,000 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks (皮卡), which had a 3) steering (转向, steering wheel 方向盘)problem, forcing the manufacturer to attempt to right the problem.A country’s consumer protection laws usually have specific 4) requirements in regard to product recalls. Such regulations may include how much of the cost the maker will have to bear, situations in which a recall is 5)compulsory (强制的;义务的compulsory education) , or penalties (处罚,罚金)for failure to recall. A company may also initiate (发起start)a recall 6) voluntarily (自主地,自愿地;volunteer 志愿者), subject to(受…管制)the same regulations. Suppliers are encouraged to voluntarily recall a product as soon as a defect 缺陷is found. It is in the best interest of the suppliers供应商to make sure that these products are 7) effectively removed or prevented from reaching the market place.Consumer organizations often examine products and warn the public of possible defects that 8 )diminish(减弱weaken)a product’s functional value or safety. In the meantime, individual consumers may use grass-roots基本tactics(策略strategy) to bring public attention to corporate misconduct. They may 9) write to newspapers and post information on product defects, threatening the maker’s publicity if the faults are not put right.When it becomes apparent that a product is likely to cause injury or health problems to a person, the suppliers should take the necessary steps required to recall the product and control the risk. A product can be recalled at three levels: wholesale批发, retail零售and individual consumer. After assessing the product distribution in the market place, the supplier should determine the levels of product recalls. Determination of the level of recalls 10) is dependent on how far the product has penetrated 渗透,进入the market from the supplier. An individual consumer recall is the most serious and expensive type and involves recovery of the product from individual consumers.Being aware of product recalls is important for the safety of anyone who comes in contact with the product. Unfortunately, recalls are not always easy to learn about, and 11) companies do not always publicize a recall in an effort to limit the cost of replacing the product.Section 2 Note-takingKey1.Women were treated as the weaker sex, inferiors弱者,能力差的人, sex-objects, attractiveproperty in the past.2.The automatic gestures of politeness and consideration men used to show towards womeninclude offering her his seat让座, holding a door for some women开门,etc.3.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality in jobs, education, and insocial attitudes.4.Automatic male politeness is being replaced by true consideration for the needs andfeelings of women. Men can see women as equal human beings.5.The passage is mainly talking about the change in men’s attitudes towards women. Section 3.

It enhances communication, idea-sharing, and office efficiency.Section 4 Listening and Translating1.We call interactive communications tools such as Twitter and Facebook social media. But lotsof commentators(时事评论者) have assert ed (断言,宣称state firmly)that using them heavily makes people less sociable, if not downright anti-social. They say such communication is largely self-centered, and that folks人们get wrapped up in texting or spilling (溅出,撒落)their innermost secrets ( spill secret 口语泄漏秘密) online, without ever relating to others’ concerns. But a new national survey of more than 2,200 American adults shows that those who use social-networking sites have what the study calls “higher measures of social well-being(适应社会).” They are, it found, more trusting, have more close friends, get more support from those friends and are more politically engaged than other Americans.但是一项对全美国超过2200个成年人的新调查显示,那些使用社交网络的人具备着所谓的“更高标准的社会幸福感”。
