Part 2 Passage
Ex. B: Sentence Dictation
1. Negotiating isn't always done with a hammer in hand. But you should become a better negotiator if you want to succeed in business.
2. In the art of negotiating, facts and figures play a role, but what may tip the balance is the emotional factor.
3. Good negotiations--in business as well as in personal or family situations--hinge on respect for others, and respect for your own feelings.
4. If someone is getting angry at you, there can be all sorts of reasons for that.
5. Both sides have an ongoing relationship that can be damaged by a lopsided agreement.
Ex. C: Detailed Listening.
1. Directions: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions 1) What makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation?
How you deal with emotions, your own and those on the other side, makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation.
2) What does the notion of a lack of power and self-respect lead to in negotiation?
The negotiator with this notion is often immediately put at an disadvantage.
3) What do positive emotions and negative emotions bring about in a negotiation?
Positive emotions elicit good feelings and often lead to good solutions; negative ones cloud the brain and reduce our capacity to think, learn and remember.
Exercise 2
1) Appreciation: Understanding the other side’s point of view, finding merit in their ideas and communicating your understanding.
2) Affiliation: Try to build genuine connections with the other side as human beings, not merely as adversaries.
3) Autonomy: The recognition that both you and the other side are free to affect or make decisions.
4) Status: Competition over status is a dead end. Appreciating the status of both sides leads to the mutual respect necessary for a successful negotiation.
5) Role: Don’t needlessly limit yourself. The activities in your work and negotiations can often be expanded to be more fulfilling and meaningful.
Ex. D: After-listening Discussion
1. What is one of the best soothing methods? Why?
One of the best soothing methods is to ask yourself, "How important is this issue to me?" Some negotiators, just like some married couples, are at risk of making every issue a big issue. We can get worked up about issues that are of little importance. As Aristotle pointed out, "One can become angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose--that is not easy."
2. How do you deal with emotions in negotiations?
Open.

Tape script of News Item One:
Several years ago Edgar and Nina Otto froze the DNA of their dog, Lancelot. When he died last year, the couple were devastated and they decided to get a clone produced by a South Korean laboratory.
几年前, Edgar和Nina Otto将他们的爱犬Lancelot的DNA进行了冷藏。去年，这条狗死了，这对夫妇很受打击，于是他们决定让韩国实验室克隆一条狗。
The biotech firm Best Friends Again claim that Lancelot Encore, as they've named the new puppy, is the world's first commercially cloned
dog. The laboratory in South Korea, BioArts, includes a scientist that lost his research professorship at Seoul University in 2004, after fraudulently claiming he'd cloned human embryos and stem cells.
Best Friends生物技术公司再次宣布，以他们命名的Lancelot Encore幼犬成为世界第一条商业克隆狗。韩国BioArts实验室中有2004年曾因虚假宣称克隆人类胚胎干细胞而丢掉首尔大学研究级教授的一位科学家。
The new owners here in Florida say they're happy with their new dog and don't plan to clone any others.

This news item is about US future space travel.
Ex. B: Listen again and fill in the blanks.
Five years ago President Bush set out his lofty vision of sending astronauts back to the Moon by the year 2020. Then the Moon would be the staging post for the next frontier - a manned landing on Mars. The plan now seems pretty much pie in the sky.
The current US human spaceflight programme appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory.The only way forward is to increase the funding of NASA or to cooperate with private companies now embarking on commercial space flights.
The panel says visits to Near-Earth Objects such as asteroids are
far more realistic too. The most realistic thing now is to keep the International Space Station going till 2020 instead of pulling the plug
in six years' time.
Script of News Item Two:
Future of US space travel uncertain
Five years ago President Bush set out his lofty vision of sending astronauts back to the Moon by the year 2020. It was meant to be the staging post for the next frontier - a manned landing on Mars. Now a panel of space experts says that's pretty much pie in the sky.
Their report, commissioned by President Obama, says the current US human spaceflight programme appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory.
It suggests the only way forward is to increase the funding of NASA by billions of dollars, or to co-operate with private companies now embarking on commercial space flights.
The panel says visits to Near-Earth Objects such as asteroids are far more realistic too. The experts also argue for keeping the International Space Station going till 2020, rather than pulling the plug in six years' time.
News Item 3
Ex. A: Listen and summarize the news item
This news item is about the research that shows working protects against dementia.
Ex. B: Listen again and answer the questions.
1.The study looked at nearly 400 men who developed Alzheimer's disease.
It assessed the time they spent in full-time education, the type of work they did and the point at which they retired.
2.No, the researchers detected no link between the onset of dementia
and education or occupation.
3.Every extra year at work was associated with a six week delay in
Alzheimer's.
4.To lower dementia risk.
5.Much more research is needed in order to understand how to delay or
prevent dementia.
Script of News Item 3
The study looked at nearly 400 men who developed Alzheimer's disease. It assessed the time they spent in full-time education, the type of work they did and the point at which they retired.
The researchers detected no link between the onset of dementia and education or occupation. But they found that every extra year at work
was associated with a six week delay in Alzheimer's. They say this
points to the value of keeping the brain active by working.
They also acknowledge that the nature of retirement is changing, and for some people it may be as intellectually stimulating as working. The Alzheimer's Research Trust, which funded the study, says more people
than ever retire later in life to avert financial hardship, but there
may be a silver lining: lower dementia risk. However it says much more research is needed in order to understand how to delay or prevent dementia.

Script：s
For most Americans, celebration of the nation's birthday on the 4th of July just wouldn't be complete without a fireworks show. Millions of people across the country will close out their Independence Day festivities watching spectacles of color explode noisily in the night sky. Many people also like to mark the holiday with some smaller-scale fireworks in their own backyards -- a practice that often causes devastating injuries. Now there is a national effort to make July 4th an enjoyable and a safe holiday.
On a hot, June day on the National Mall, a man in flame-retardant clothing lit a match under three watermelons which were blown to pieces by an illegal firework called an M-80. It was part of a demonstration by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to show what can
happen to people who purchase or manufacture illegal fireworks. Harold Stratton, Chairman of the CPSC, led the nationally-televised demonstration. "Many of the illegal fireworks you see here today have been banned for nearly forty years," Mr. Stratton told those watching. "Yet we still see these devices being manufactured and sold to consumers."
Commissioner Stratton says more than 10,000 emergency room visits were attributed last year to fireworks-related injuries -- most involving children. Many of those injured suffered from burns, lacerations and hand and eye injuries. He says 50% of those injuries were caused by legal, consumer-approved products. "Even sparklers, for example, burn
at a temperature of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,100 degrees Celsius). This is hot enough to melt metal and can easily cause third degree burns."
The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to watch a big show put on by a team of professionals. There is something magical about sitting in the dark with a large crowd of people and listening to the collective
'oohs' and 'ahs' every time a new explosion of color appears in the sky. Felix Grucci, Jr. is Chief Financial Officer of Fireworks by Grucci, a century-old family business and one of the leading fireworks display companies in the United States. On hand for the demonstration in
Washington, he talked about the mystique of a fireworks display. "It is a magical transformation of a person's psyche and emotions," he said. "For a 20-25 minute period we can send them into places that they've never seen before."
Mr. Grucci, a former Congressman from New York, believes a well-choreographed fireworks display can be a universally profound experience. "When you look at the night sky and you see the majesty and beauty of God's handiwork, and then all of a sudden that becomes interrupted with man's handiwork and you turn the night sky into a kaleidoscope of color and you marry that color to sound, and all of a sudden you're exciting the sights and senses of an individual, the fireworks have this uncanny ability to be able to transverse age groups, ethnic backgrounds and social-economic levels." He adds, "The richest
of the rich can stand next to the most humble of humble and be able to get the same level of firework entertainment."
It's that universally entertaining quality of a good fireworks display that makes private purchases of these explosive devices so tempting,
and so potentially dangerous. Fireworks displays provided by licensed operators are legal in every state. But laws vary from state-to-state regarding what consumer firework products may be sold. Firecrackers, sparklers and small rockets are what most people like to buy.
Legal or not, many Americans consider fireworks to be essential to
their 4th of July celebrations. Todd Race of Adams, New York, who was visiting the Mall with his family said they enjoy the fun of lighting sparklers in the backyard every July4th. "Sparklers are about all you can buy up around us. But they're illegal in New York." When asked where he purchases those prohibited products, he sheepishly remarked, "At illegal stands."
Some consumer groups have lobbied to make all fireworks illegal. Consumer Products Safety Commission Chairman Harold Stratton believes that by following proper instructions, consumer fireworks are generally very safe. Many would agree that a fireworks-free 4th of July would have disappointed founding father John Adams. Just after the Continental Congress proclaimed the colonies' independence from England in 1776, Mr. Adams wrote this about public celebrations on July 4th: "The day will be the most memorable in the history of America," he predicted. "It will be celebrated by succeeding generations with bonfires and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other, from this day forward, evermore."

He doesn’t have a car or a TV set. He doesn’t have many clothes and he doesn’t care about money when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn’t smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen. When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed,” which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to make car safer. After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader’s efforts. The first was to

Part 2 Listening for Gist For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons.
