Okay, Okay, let's begin. Hello, everyone. My name's Susan Hudson, and I'll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.
Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in Room 405 during the last two months of the class.
Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven't come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.

Task 2
Script
Librarian: Can I help you?
Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book
is in the library, but I haven't been able to find it.
Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?
Student: Yes, uh... I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is. Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special
room called the reserve room. It's down the hall and to the right.
Student: I'm sorry—I still don't understand what you mean by on reserve.
Librarian: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other
students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that
all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.
Student: So, will I be able to find this book?
Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and
he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in
the library, and all students have a chance to read it.
Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.
Librarian: Will there be anything else?
Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!
Key
A. Answer the following questions.
1)What's the student's problem?
Key: According to the syllabus, the book he is looking for is in the library, but he couldn't find it.
2)What's the meaning of "on reserve"?
Key: That means the student cannot find the book on the shelves in its usual place.
She/He needs to go to a special room called the reserve room.
3)Why does the professor put the books on reserve?
Key: The professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will
have the opportunity to read it. So, the professor has insured that all students have
the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.
B. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the tape.

Faith: Hey. That's a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don't have to worry about them? Randall: OK. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.
Faith: OK. So the interviews will go from 2:45 until, let's say, 4:30. [OK] I hope we can wrap things up by 5.

Task 6
Script
Every year, high school juniors and seniors from across the US take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I)
The SAT I is a three-hour exam that tests students' math and verbal skills. Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.
Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.
A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American's best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.
The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students' records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.
In addition to the SAT I, some universities require high school students to take at least three SATⅡs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.

2)How much should the score be for those who want to go to Harvard or Yale?
Key: They must score between 1,430 and 1,600.
3)What else will the American universities look at besides the score?
Key: American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.
4)What is the SAT II?
Key: The SAT II is the one-hour exam that can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.
Task 7
Script
Japanese students need 12 years of study before entering universities.
They choose the places they want to go and apply before January of their final year. The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math, science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.
In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.
Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their

Unit 1 Parents Part B Listening Tasks Passage 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) Exercise 1 Listen to the recording and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. After 22 years of marriage,I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, "Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer." The "other" woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. "What's wrong?" she asked. "I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you," I said. "Just the two of us." "I would like that a lot," she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door
