I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big af ter graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to do volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the u niversity. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important for everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose t o major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I can’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies nextweek. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my biggest dream.Audio Track 3-5-10/Audio Track 3-5-11Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from Vancouver, Canada answered our questions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Do you have any international travel experience?Stephanie: Yes, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This jo b gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money, so I won’t have to worry about money for my trip to Europe. Interviewer: Why should we choose you?Stephanie: Because I love to travel! I’m a hard worker and will have no trouble filing reports on time — and I have a lot of energy!Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 3-5-121. I’m gonna apply to three colleges.2.

When I’m 23, I may come home to look for a job. Most probably in a bank or an accounting firm. After working for 4 to 5 years, I may have some savings to start a family. At the age of 30, I’d like to be a father. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll retire at the age of 50 and travel around the world.Audio Track 3-3-6Hi Jackie,I’m so excited about visiting you! Here are the details. My plane arrives on Friday at 2 p.m. When I get to the airport, I’ll take a taxi, so I’ll arrive at yo ur house at about 3:00. That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had theirtwentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping w ith life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.

Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life’s major stressors. We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.Tina Vega, 16Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town.

Three weeks ago I lost my job. I was upset for the first week. I couldn’t do anything. Now I’m looking for a new job. It’s not good to sit around the house.

Someday, maybe in five years or so, I’m going to quit my job and get out of this stressful life. You know, relax. Have some fun!Roberto: Oh. What are you planning to do?Claudia: I’m definitely going to travel … I might even move to another country, maybe work as a volunteer —I could even start a new career! Maybe one where I can help people … or help the world. What about you? What are your plans?Roberto: Well, I’ve pretty much got everything pla nned already, right up to my retirement. Claudia: Really?Roberto: Yep. I’m going to work hard and save as much money as possible until I’m about 30 …31.

And when I’m 35 or 36, I’m going to settle down, get married, and have some kids. Claudia: Oh you are, are you? You know that for a fact?Roberto: Well, it’s not a fact — yet. But really, if you want to succeed, you need to have clearcut, well-defined goals and aspirations.Claudia: I don’t know, I think you should keep your options open. You know … “go with the flow.”Roberto: “Go with the flow,” eh? So you’re not nervous about the promotion?Claudia: I d idn’t say that. It just won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get it. What about you? Are you nervous about the new job?Roberto: Not really. I’m just going to “go with the flow,” as long as the “flow” follows my plan! Audio Track 3-3-17Claudia and R oberto were talking about Roberto’s new job. Roberto was excited, but he was a bit nervous about learning a new software program. Claudia told him not to worry and promised to help him learn it. Then Roberto asked Claudia if she might get promoted soon because her boss had been transferred to a different office. Claudia said that getting promoted was not a big deal. She explained that her goal was to quit her job someday and relax. Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said that Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。

We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travelby helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, eventraveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really knowthe village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flewaround. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" andwe just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of thefunniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flightattendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray.

Wereally need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too muchtraffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks.We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We needcleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife.There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street,or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, thesepeople are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer andmore pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streetsnarrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike toschool.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. Hisbook Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streetsbelonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise anddangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should usestreets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets,and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked inneighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in theNetherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters inthe streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they sawthe value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning waysto make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.” Calming the tra is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighborswill become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: I want my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.

Yet a school in Germany has developed a novel way to raise the morale of its students, by teaching happiness in classes. Students at Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics are learning how to achieve happiness as an official subject, alongside mathematics and languages. This is the first school in Germany to develop a happiness course, intended for 17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams. Ernst Fritz-Sch ubert, the school’s principal, is on a mission to change things.Ernst: It was my idea –I’ve been at this school for 31 years, and I feel that school and happiness have to be reunited. These are two terms which are not considered together, because one does not connect school with happiness. In some cases school comes behind the dentist on the popularity scale and we should try to push schools’ popularity a bit. It has been proved by science that a happy student can learn more than an unhappy one. Unhappy students can concentrate for a while but do not use all their potential. The happiness classes are intended to help students fulfill their potential. They will help the students live happy and prosperous lives.Presenter: The classes aim to help students in achieving a positive state of mind, by using all their own resources and boosting their self-esteem. In addition, they hope classes will increase self-awareness and physical comfort. Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers’ behaviour. The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer.Outside view 3-4原⽂Bjoern: One of the exercises I do is to have one of the students walk across the classroom, with the others copying his walk. Through this exercise, I hope they learn something about themselves. Why do I move like this? How do others see my way of walking? I hope that with a higher body awareness they ideally – of course it will take time – achieve a higher self-consciousness which could lead to happiness. Wolfgang: We give these classes to students to help them find happiness. Now the question is: How do I define happiness? Happiness is for example a strengthening of the personality. We are providing helpful suggestions to make stronger people. People that ask "Who am I as a person? Am I really happy?" Pascal: It takes time and everybody has to find happiness for themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson and say, “Teach me happiness.” One can only get indications from teachers or the visiting lecturers. There are also happiness scientists, if we could talk to one of those I’m sure he would have some hints.Yosma: You would think that the teachers are writing definitions on the board. Not true. Those who want happiness have to find it for themselves, you cannot really learn that.Presenter: So what does it take to be happy, and can you learn it at school?News report 原⽂1、Recent statistics show that young people are heading abroad in ever-increasing numbers – at least temporarily. Experts say spending time overseas can give students an advantage when looking for a job after they graduate. Employers are attracted to candidates with international experience and global skills.Audrey Morgan, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, was inspired to learn Spanish. She decided to spend a semester studying in Spain during her junior year. That experience led to the job she has today, as an engineer for a technology company with offices all over the world.Her current work project involves working closely with an organization in Spain, and her fluent Spanishmeans she is able to translate documents from Spanish to English and communicate with her Spanish co-workers. She hopes to work in one of her company’s international offices within a few years.It’s up to students to decide how long they want to spend studying overseas. They may go for a year, a semester or a summer. However long or short the time, they are sure to have a rewarding experience. Q1: How does studying abroad give students an advantage in the job hunt?A. Employers are looking for candidates who have global skills.Q2: How much time should students spend overseas?D. Any amount.2、Potential college students are once again facing the annual ordeal of college admissions. Each year many university-bound students in the US fear writing the required college application essay. However, it is a chance for students to show admission officers who they really are beyond grades and test scores.A strong, well-written essay can make a difference when universities are choosing between talented applicants.Each university has its own set of essay prompts and questions that students can answer. They want students to reveal their best qualities and interests, show their creativity, as well as their writing skills. One university’s sample prompt is: “Describe the world you come from –for example, your family, community or school –and tell u s how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.” Or a question simply asking “What makes you happy?”Some students find that the essay is one of the most challenging things they’ve written. They have to think about issues that really matter to them, what their values are and what their experiences mean to them. Usually, by the end of the process, students will have discovered a lot about themselves that they didn’t know before.Q1: What do we learn about the college application essay from the news report?D. Students are required to submit an essay to universities.Q2: How do students feel about writing the college application essay?B. Students are afraid of writing the essay.Inside view1、Interviewer: Can you tell me … how do you think you have changed as you have matured? What things have had a major influence on you?Speaker 1: Well, let me think ... I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there with weird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I’m much more tolerant now ... It made me a more rounded person.Interviewer: Great ... And has any particular person had a central role in forming your character? Speaker 1:I guess that’d ha ve to be my grandfather. I was very close to him and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about his ...Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that travelling in my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well ... just the generosity of ordinary people. I travelled a lot around Asia and you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos, people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting. ... So you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really …Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?Speaker 3: Well ... a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week someone was voted off by the audience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing how the other contestants behaved made me realize howselfis h and spiteful some people can be just to get what they want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right ... And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know … a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of ...Interviewer: So can you tell me, what one thing do you think has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help –you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was an incredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount of genuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And ha s it changed the way you view your future ...1. How did going to university change Speaker 1?C. It made him more open-minded.2. How did travelling change Speaker 2?rD. It made her grow up.3. How did being on a reality TV show change Speaker 3?A. It m ade him realize it’s important to be yourself.4. What did volunteering help Speaker 4 see?B. Genuine human kindness.2、Tony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counsellor at Manchester University. She gives advice to school students on choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show. Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony:When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.Tony: I see ... So how can our listeners do this?Joan:Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s important to look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in a career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus? Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top universities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in the workplace ... and lookat which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for. James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out …UNIT2Outside view1、Presenter: Around the world many children are living in poverty. Many children live in countries where there is war.

Some people recreate the photos as an amusing gift for their family, and others do it to relive their happy memories. Some of the photos have spread quickly across social media after being shared online.The Dobbie sisters’ family photos are the latest to go viral.

Seeing or holding an old toy from their past can transport them back to the time when they first laid eyes on it at the toy store, and the excitement they felt about taking it home to play. Toys from thepast were much simpler compared to the high-tech toys of today. Some may even argue that toys from the past encouraged children to use their creativity and imagination. In order to recapture their happy childhood memories, people collect old toys they had as children.There are many serious collectors who are willing to pay top prices to bring back memories. For example, Cabbage Patch Kids were dolls that were very popular in the 1980s.

Toys from the past encouraged more creativity and imagination than toys of today.Q2: What do we learn about old toys from the news report?B. Old toys can bring back happy memories for many people.Insideview1、One of the strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I returned by chance to a place where I’d been happy as a child. My husband and I were visiting some friends for the weekend – they lived about 200 kilometres away. We were driving along when I suddenly saw a church in the distance that I recognized. My favourite aunt had lived very near it on a farm that my brother and I used to visit once a year with our parents.We were city kids, brought up in the middle of London, and this was a working farm – the real thing – with cows in cowsheds, fields with ponds and a muddy yard full of smelly pigs, and – we had the run of the whole place – it was just paradise for us. And then – there was the food – oh, home-made jam and bread and cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And my aunt Lottie –a farmer’s wife – and her husband, Uncle George and their kids, Katie and Ben, our two cousins who my brother and I really got on with. It was heaven that week we used to spend there. They moved from the farm when I was … how old? –about 14. So I’d never been back or seen it again.An yway, there we were, and I’d just seen the church –so we turned off and drove down this really narrow lane. And before I knew it we were in front of Aunt Lottie’s farm! The extraordinary thing was that it hadn’t changed – not one tiny bit.It was a lovely old place with a typical country cottage garden, full of flowers. There were lots of barns and sheds – they were next to –next to the farm. And you know, I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I had standing there. It was –oh, what was it? –an incredibly powerful feeling of longing –nostalgia for the past –for times when I’d been very, very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been there for 20 years and I couldn’t go back, so I also had a feeling of huge sadness, that I couldn’t havethose times again. And – at the same time – great sweetness, because those times had been so happy, so innocent –because I was a child! So there was this extraordinary mix –of longing, sadness and sweetness, all at the same time. It was the strangest feeling I’ve ev er had.1. Why were the speaker and her husband near the farm?C. Because they were visiting friends.2. Where had the speaker been brought up?B. In the middle of London.3. Why does the speaker describe the farm as “just paradise”?A. Because it was a real farm and she and her brother could run around.4. What food does the speaker mention?C. Jam, bread, cakes and milk.5. What do we learn about the farm?D. The garden was full of flowers.6. What feelings does the speaker mention?A. A longing for the past, sadness and sweetness.2、Interviewer:So what’s your first memory of school, Kevin?Kevin:I was really looking forward to school, I remember that, I just couldn’t wait. Yeah, Johnny, my brother, was a year older than me and he seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart shoes.And I wanted to go to school and be grown-up too. I don’t remember much of the first day actually, apart from this little boy lying on the floor and screaming and screaming and me thinking what a baby he was. Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat rack with all our coats. And I was looking for my peg which had a little picture of an elephant next to it. I remember I was crying because I wanted to go home and I coul dn’t get my coat on. I was crying so much and then the teacher came and helped me. Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best friend at school?Kevin:Oh, yeah, well, Steve, I remember him? because he’s still my best friend!Interviewer: Still your best friend!Eva:That’s so great!Kevin:Yeah, we didn’t know each other before we started school but we became really good friends and so did our mums. Our families ended up going on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the teachers used to get very cross with us. But we were just having fun. Interviewer: Cool! And what about you, Eva?Eva: My best friend was a girl called Robina. She had short blond hair, I remember I thought she looks (looked) like an angel. We sat next to each other and held hands and played fairies in the playground. She left in Year 3 and I cried for days. Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the day you left school? How was that?Eva: I had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking home with this amazing feeling of freedom, you know, no more rules, no more bossy teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I’d had some good times. I was in a group of girls who were so supportive of each other.Kevin:I couldn’t wait to leave, I was counting the days. I just wanted to get a job, get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went out to celebrate with a couple of my mates and – had a very good time!UNIT3Outside view1、Part 1Voice-over: The Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world, was truly revolutionary even in its time. While he was painting the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci broke all the rules, even his own. In spite of the fact that Leonardo and other artists believed that women should only be portrayed with eyes gazing slightly down, Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa looking directly at the viewer. The position of her body is another innovation. While her face looks straight ahead her body is slightly turned, a pose that creates a sense of movement and tension. In another break from tradition, the Mona Lisa is not wearing any jewellery or adornments. Finally, backgrounds in portraits usually indicated a real place but the landscape in Leonardo’s portrait seems almost i maginary.Anne: One of the things I like to do is, um, think about her face and why, what is she trying, why, what is she trying to say with her face, and I used to think that her face told more than one story. For instance, if I covered up one side of her face, it seemed like she might be a little sad or reserved, almost secretive. Scott:Her eyes are, they’re kind of looking at us or around us, through us perhaps. I think with that painting she’s the viewer and we’re the subject in a way. And she has this look that she knows something that we don’t know.Anne: And then when I covered up that side and looked at the other side, she seemed happier, um, more satisfied. And together it created sort of the mystery about her that, um, made interpreting her face very enigmatic.Scott:There’s speculation that the Mona Lisa is a self-portrait of Leonardo and I, I believe that it is, there, there, the features do line up between the Mona Lisa and sketches of Leonardo.Voice-over:2、Part 2Anne: When I was young, um, I was always interested in, um, reading books about people and, and the dynamics, different kinds of relationships they had and so when I became a painter it was natural for me to be interested in painting people and looking for similar kinds of stories to tell about them, that you might read about in a book.Scott: Uh, most of my work consists of photographic self-portraiture. Um, I’m interested in using myself as the subject, um, not only as the creator of the image but as the, the character, or the performer of, of the images.Anne:So in my portraits I’m trying to capture, um, a deeper essence of a person, um, more or less. Scott: This work here is done with a pinhole camera, which requires a very long exposure so, with a portrait you can get this feelin g of time passed. It’s not a, it’s not an instant, per se, it could be five minutes of exposure.Anne:So this is another project I’m working on. I’m almost finished with it but I still need to work on the reflections in the water, um, and the face of the boy before it’s finished.Scott: I often work with multiples and, you know, using a mirror or the same image twice and what I wanted to do was link the two portraits together with the string. It’s kind of the string of thought or this idea of remembering or the resilience of memory.Anne:I don’t just paint from photographs. I try to make a work of art. Um, I try to make a painting that goes beyond a mere photographic image. I try to capture something about the soul of the, or the essence of this person.Scott:This piece here is, uh, it’s called The Measure of Decay and behind the piece there are portraits, again, of me. I have this clay covering on that has cracked and so it’s, it’s kind of like the process of decay. So as each portrait goes around you can, you can see the image in a different focus.Anne:I love painting portraits. I love painting but portraits are very special because they’re about people. Scott:I’m fascinated by portraiture in general, and the human body and how that image lives over ti me. Anne: I like to capture what is unique and special about an individual in paint.News report>1Israeli artist EyalGever is working on a project that will be the first artwork created in space.

That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had their twentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping with life’s st ressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.

He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said that Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。

新编大学英语视听说第3册听力原文和答案新编大学英语视听说第3册听力原文和答案Interviewer: Angela, you were born in Korea but you've been livingin Canada for a long time, haven't you?Angela: Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I've been living here for 20 years now.Interviewer: Do you think that belonging to two different cultures has affected your personality?Angela: Yes, definitely. There are times when I think that I havetwo personalities. Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian. Interviewer: That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean?Angela: Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home.Interviewer: Do different cultures have different ideas as to whatis polite? Angela: Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent.Interviewer: Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person? Angela: Yes, but sometimes I don't know who I am.I am a very sensitive person, and that's good to a point. I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others aregoing through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am.I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself.I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things.It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything. I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People trust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I never tell any secret that is told to me. I'm always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask. I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everything I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. Itmakes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel, or how they live, or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me.Tom: Hey, Bill. Do you have any plans for this weekend?Bill: Yeah, Tom. Cindy and I are going ice-skating on Saturday.Tom: Oh.Bill: Why do you ask?Tom: Well, I thought you might want to come over and study for next week's chemistry test.Bill: Study?! No way. Hey, what if I try to fix you up with Cindy's sister, Kristi. We could double-date. She's really outgoing,bright, and funny too.Tom: Hey, I still remember the girl you fixed me up with last time. She was very moody and self-centered. She couldn't stop talking about how great she was. I'm not sure if I can trust you, "Mr. Matchmaker".Bill: Oh come on. So I made a mistake last time. Cindy's sister is really different. Tom: Well, what does she look like?Bill: Ah. Looks aren't important. She has a wonderful personality.Tom: Right.Bill: Okay. She has long wavy blond hair and blue eyes. She's of medium height, just a little shorter than you are.Tom: Go on.Bill: She has a great figure, a nice complexion, and she has a sexy voice. Oh, and she has a tattoo of an eagle on her arm.Tom: A what?Bill: No, just kidding. By the way, she was the runner-up in theMiss California Beauty Pageant two years ago. Well, you're probably not interested. Tom: No, wait!Bill: Ah, just forget I ever mentioned it.Tom: No, I'm interested!David: Barbara, before you go, could you tell me about these students that are coming into my class?Barbara: Oh, yes. Now, let me think, well, there's...er...Paul. He's a tall, slim lad with fair hair. Very friendly face, lovely smile...He's particularly good with group activities, and he's a very helpful person to have in the class and very helpful with the other students. He speaks fluently, but does make a lot of mistakes! He doesn't seem to mind making mistakes. He asks a lot ofquestions...er...he tends to speak first and think later. But he's got lots of interesting ideas.David: Good.Barbara: Ah...Susan...Susan. Now, she's very lively, quick, and very bright. She talks all the time but not always in English.David: What? Is she difficult or anything?Barbara: No...she's quite young but she does behave in quite agrown-up way really for her age. It can be a bit difficult to actually shut her up sometimes and make her listen to you.David: Ah, right.Barbara: She's very nice. She has dark hair and dark eyes.David: Right, well...are there any other girls in the class?Barbara: Yes, there is Maria. She's Susan's sister.David: Yes.Barbara: Actually it's quite difficult to tell them apart although...er... Maria is slightly older. She's a bit plumper and has longer hair than Susan. She's not quite as bright as her sister and Ithink that makes her feel a bit inferior really. Well, you know, she sulks a bit when she gets things wrong or she misunderstands you. But on the whole, a very sensible girl.David: OK.Barbara: And then there's Peter, who's older than the others. He's got a sort of moustache, spectacles and wavy dark brown hair. He usually wears a jacket and sometimes a suit. He's very smart and takes notes all the time. He's also very serious and determined to learn as much as possible. He asks quite difficult questions but he doesn't mean to be nasty.David: Well, thanks, Barbara. It's all up to me now, isn't it?Have a good holiday, won't you?Barbara: Thanks.David: Bye.1.

Unfortunately, it was the same chair. They both sat down at the same time. Each of them had half a chair. Charles said he was there first and tried to push Jake off the chair. Jake said he was first. Both boys refused to move."All right, boys," said the teacher. "If you won't move, then youcan sit like that for the whole period." Jake and Charles sat like that for the whole period until the bell rang. When they stood up they were stiff and sore."I don't care," said Jake. "I was there first."What kind of person is Jake?5. Room 46A at Travis High School was always the dirtiest room inthe school. Many of the students threw paper on the floor. One day, Mrs. Duke had an idea. She fastened a basketball hoop over the wastebasket. Now the students love to practice throwing their paper into the basket. When they miss, they pick the paper up and try again. And that was the end of the problem.What kind of person is Mrs. Duke?A number of visitors to the UK, who had traveled throughout theBritish Isles, were asked by a newspaper reporter what their impressions of the British people were. Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Somewere very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very popular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularlythe English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found Northcountry people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!" A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'please' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. Hehadn't met any Englishmen, he said. The country appeared to be full of foreigners like himself. Statements:1. It was easy to tell the English from the British.2. Speaking the same language helped one Australian visitora lot.3. By "much nicer", one of the visitors meant that the British people were more friendly than people of other countries.4. The majority of continentals thought highly of English manners.5. To the young student from South Africa, Britain seemed to have a lot of foreign visitors.One day, when Mr. Smith came home from work, he found his wife very upset about something. Mr. Smith always thought that he was moresensible than his wife, so he started to give her a lecture on the importance of always remaining calm.Finally he said, "It's a waste of your strength to get excited about small things. Train yourself to be patient, like me. Now, look at thefly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not.I'm perfectly calm."Just as he had said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He couldn't speak for some time, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose was not a fly, but a bee. Tom: Oh, that Mr. Taylor. He is so boring!Mother: What do you mean?Tom: His lessons put me to sleep. And he's so quick-tempered, Mum.Mother: Quick-tempered? Mr. Taylor? Are you sure darling?Tom: Yes, he gets angry very quickly.Mother: That doesn't sound like Mr. T aylor at all!Tom: And do you know, he spends all the time looking at his reflection in the window, admiring himself.Mother: Really? And why does he do that?Tom: Because he's vain, that's why! And conceited! He thinks he knows everything. Mother: Oh, Tom. Be reasonable. I'm sure you're exaggerating. Mr. Taylor seems such a nice, kind man.Tom: Well, he isn't. He is mean and cruel.Mother: Cruel? Now how can a history teacher be cruel?Tom: Because he only gave me two out of ten points in my history test. Mother: Oh, now I understand. Tom, I think you'd better get on with your homework!(S1 = the first speaker; S2 = the second speaker; S3 = the third speaker; S4 = the fourth speaker)S1: In this week's edition of Up with People we went out into the streets andinterviewed a number of people. We asked a question they just didn't expect. Weasked them to be self-critical...to ask themselves exactly whatthey thought they lacked or—the other side of the coin—what virtues they had. Here is what we heard.S2: Well...I...I don't know really...it's not the sort of question you ask yourself directly. I know I'm good at my job... At least my boss considers me hard-working, conscientious, and efficient. I'm a secretaryby the way. When I look at myself in a mirror as you sometimes do in the privacy of your own bedroom...or at your reflection in the shop windows as you walk up the street... Well...then I see someone a bit different. Yes...I'm different in my private life. And that's probably my mainfault I should say... I suppose I'm not coherent in my behavior. Myoffice is always in order...but my flat! Well...you'd have to see it to believe it.S3: Well...I'm retired, you know. Used to be an army officer. And...I think I've kept myself...yes, I've kept myself respectable the whole of my life. I've tried to help those who depend on me. I've done my best. I am quite self-disciplined. Basically I'm a good guy, fond of my wife and family... That's me.S4: Well...when I was young I was very shy. At times I...I was very unhappy...especially when I was sent to boarding school at age seven.I didn't make close friends till later...till I was about...fifteen. Then I became quite good at being by myself. I had no one to rely on...and no one to ask for advice. That made me independent. My wife and I have two sons. We...we didn't want an only child because I felt...well I felt I'd missed a lot of things.Mike: Hey, guys. Come and look. I've found an interesting Web siteon star signs. (The others come close to the computer and look at thestar signs on the screen.)Ted: Hey, that's interesting! What's your sign, Sam?Sam: I'm a Scorpio. What's yours, Ted?Ted: I have no idea. I've never really thought about that. Let's have a look. I was born on September 5. Oh, I'm a Virgo.Simon: And I'm a Libra.Sam: What do they say about Libra, Simon?Simon: (He reads.) You're a sociable, charming person. You go out of your way to avoid confrontation and do everything in your power to make your life an easy one. Although you're generally likeable, you can be changeable, superficial and critical. But you manage to hide thosetraits most of the time.Mike: Do you agree with that? Are you that type of person?Simon: What do you think? I think there is something in what it says.I am social and outgoing. But I am not changeable, am I? What's your sign, Mike?Mike: I'm a Taurus. Ah, what's yours, Lilly?Lilly: I'm a Cancer.Ted: Now let's look at Taurus.( He reads.) You're a patient,practical type. Goodpoints include your affectionate, kind nature, your trustworthiness and strength of character. Bad points include your possessiveness, self-indulgence and stubbornness. Do you think your character fits well?Mike: No, not at all. I'm not patient, and I'm not practical either.I am kind of quick-tempered and ambitious. That's definitely not me! But one thing is right: I AM stubborn.Simon: Sam, let me read yours. (He reads.) You are secretive, and sexy. You have theworst reputation in the zodiac. Scorpio has a dark side, which includes revengeful and destructive traits. Yet despite this, you can be the wittiest, kindest and most entertaining of all the signs.Sam: Oh, that can't be true! Are you sure you were reading Scorpio?Simon: Yes, of course! Look for yourself.Sam: But that's unfair! I have the worst reputation in the zodiac?!The others: (They all laugh and say.) Ha ha... Poor Sam!Sam: Who could believe such silly things! Really, I think I'm intelligent, humorous, and kind-hearted.Mike: Yes, but those are just your good traits. Don't forget about your bad ones! Sam: Come on! Oh, Lilly, we haven't looked at your sign yet. Eh, you are a Cancer, right? You want me to read yours?Lilly: No, thanks. I'm afraid you'll distort what's written there.Let me read it myself. (She reads.) To some people, you appear tough and determined, but that's just a "front" you put up to protect the real you, which is rather more sensitive and softer. You can be moody, touchy and irritable, but you make up for those negative traits with your kindness, great intuition and protective nature. That's not bad, is it?Simon: No. But what counts is not what it says, but how you really are, what you are actually like.Lilly: (She is a bit defensive.) What do you mean? What are youtrying to say aboutme?Simon: I think you are much nicer than what it describes.(Lilly smiles.)The other boys: Oh, Simon, don't sweet-talk her! We know what youare thinking. Ted: Hey, I haven't seen mine yet. Now it's my turn.Mike: Go ahead, Ted! Be our guest!Ted: It says: Virgo people like order in all things and are neat, clean and precise in their habits. Virgo people are perfectionists and they sometimes can be critical. They do not like to draw attention to themselves. Virgo people are modest, and careful about what they eat or drink.Sam: Do you have any objections to that?Ted: I think the description matches me quite well. I AM a perfectionist. I like things to be in order. Erm, I...I'm careful about what I eat and drink. But it doesn't mention my weak points.Lilly: Oh! And what are those?Ted: Well, sometimes I'm so careful I tend to waste a lot of time.I'm not very sociable, and I don't have many friends.Sam: I think everyone has some undesirable personality traits that could be improved. Don't you think we all could improve our personalities?Mike: I think we can. For example, my little sister was the youngest girl in our family. My parents loved her very much, but they spoiled her by giving her too much. She was at that time self-centered, selfish,aggressive, bad-tempered, and rude. Her personality didn'tchange any until she entered primary school. In school, she first acted as she did at home, and she couldn't make a single good friend. For a time, she was even isolated by her classmates. She complained to us, and finally understood her problem. From then on, she made every effort to get rid of her undesirable characteristics both at home and in school. Now she's in middle school and has turned into a popular girl.Lilly: In my opinion, our personalities are partly inherited and partly shaped by our home environment. As we all know, scientists have found that parents' personality traits can be seen in their children. Most children have some of their parents' personality traits.Mike: That's right. And our early home and school environment also has a big influence on the shaping of our personality. For instance,I've noticed that many children growing up in rich families may become wasteful, lazy, arrogant or cold. On the other hand, I've noticed that many children raised in poor families are hard-working, caring, sympathetic, and helpful.Sam: Does that mean you think we have to choose our parents wisely?(The others laugh.)2Mart Moody from Tupper Lake used to tell this tale. "I went out one day and there was a big flock of ducks out on Tupper Lake. And I hadthis good dog. I shot at the ducks, and then I sent the dog out there. She was heavy with pups at the time, and I didn't know whether I shouldsend her out there. It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she tookright off and away she went. But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her. She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at."So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go and seeif I could find her. And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out. Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog. She came into the shore! She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups. And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth."There was an old man who had a daughter. He told his daughter thathe had invited a preacher to his house. He said, "Daughter, I'm going down to the train to meet the Reverend, and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room. Don't you touch them!" The daughter said, "No, I won't touch them." So her papa went to the train to meet the Reverend, and the girl began to taste the ducks. The ducks tasted so good that she kept on tasting them until she had eaten themall up, every bit of them.After the old man came back, he didn't even look in the place where he had left the ducks. He went directly into the other room to sharpen his knife on the oilstone so he could carve the ducks. The preacher was sitting in the room with the girl. She knew that her papa was going to punish her, and she started crying and shedding tears. The preacher asked, "What is the matter with you, girl?" She said, "Papa has this one bad fault: He invites preachers to his house and goes to sharpen hisknife to cut off both their ears." And the Reverend asked, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said, "Yes, Papa invitespreachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears." The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat. Quick!" The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly. The daughter called her papa and said, "Papa, the preacher got both the ducks and has gone." The old man ran to the door and yelled to the preacher, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry? Come back here right now!" But the preacher just kept running and shouted back over his shoulder, "Damned if you'll get either one of these."Jack Storm was the local barrel maker and blacksmith of Thebes, Illinois. He had a cat that stayed around his shop. The cat was the best mouse catcher in the whole country, Jack said. He kept the shop free of rats and mice. But, one day, the cat got caught in a piece of machinery and got a paw cut off. After that, he began to grow weak and thin and didn't take any interest in anything, because he wasn't getting enough to eat.So, one day, Jack decided to make a wooden paw for the cat. He made it with his pocket knife and fastened it on the injured leg. After that, the cat began to grow sleek and fat again. Jack decided to stay at the shop one night to see how the cat managed with his wooden paw.After dark, the cat got down in front of a mouse hole and waited. Pretty soon a mouse peered out cautiously. Quick as a flash the cat seized it with his good paw and knocked it on the head with his woodenone. In no time, that cat had eighteen mice piled up in front of the mouse hole.Ken: Hey, Josh. Where did you get those comic magazines?Josh: When I went home last weekend, I found these old Superman magazines that my older brother had bought manyyears ago.Ken: You don't have time to read old comics. Why did you bring them here? Josh: In my World Literature class we've been talking about the importance of myths, folk tales, and legends to cultures. We have to write a short paper on which legendary figure we think is the great American hero. I think it's Superman.Ken: Superman? Why? I think it's someone like Paul Bunyan, the giant woodsman, or Johnny Appleseed, who planted early apple trees in the Midwest. Superman is just a modern comic magazine character.Josh: When I saw these old comics, I started thinking that Superman represents a combination of cultural traditions and beliefs that have been told throughout our American history.Ken: How?Josh: Superman is an orphan who comes by rocket to Earth when his native planet explodes. He lands near a small town and is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who teach him their American middle-class values of honesty, hard work and consideration for others. As an adult, he migrates to a large city and defends Americans against evil.Ken: What else?Josh: Well, I was thinking about this and realized that he is a symbol of the American character because he is an immigrant. We Americans have come from somewhere else, too. My great grandparents came from Germany, and I know your grandparents came from Brazil. They all worked hard and succeeded.Ken: But how does that relate to Superman?Josh: He goes to the city, just as many immigrants did, works as a newspaper reporter. But his adopted parents' values ofhonesty, hard work and helpfulness are a part of him. He uses his super abilities to fight dishonesty and to help the victims of crime and injustice, meanwhile working hard at his newspaper job.Ken: I understand. As an orphan, Superman becomes a new person in a new land, just as our ancestors did, and succeeds. He also represents our values. Your paper should be interesting. I'd like to read it when it's finished.Josh: OK.At one time animals and people lived together in peace and talked with each other. But when mankind began to multiply rapidly, the animals were crowded into forests and deserts.Man began to destroy many animals for their skins and furs insteadof only for food. Animals became angry at this treatment by man and decided that mankind must be punished.The animals held a meeting, but they could not decide how to punish mankind. Finally the animals agreed that because deer were the animals most often killed by man, deer should decide how man should be punished.Deer decided that any Indian hunters who killed deer without asking pardon in a suitable manner would be made to suffer with painfulstiffness in their bodies. After this decision was made, the leader of the deer sent a message to the nearest people, the Cherokee Indians. "From now on, your hunters must first offer a prayer to the deer before killing him. You must ask his pardon, telling the deer you are forced to kill him only because your people are hungry and need meat. Otherwise, a terrible disease will come to you."The spirits of the deer would run to the place where a deerhad been killed and these spirits would ask the dead deer, "Did you hear the hunter's prayer for pardon?" If theanswer was "yes", the spirits would be satisfied. But, if the answer was "no", then the deer spirits would track down the hunter to his house and strike him with the terrible disease of stiffness in his body, making him crippled so that he could not hunt deer again.Soon all of the animals agreed that this was a fair and just punishment. Each type of animal decided that they would also cause a disease in people who mistreated them. When the friendly plants of the world heard what the animals had decided as punishment for mankind, the plants decided that this punishment was too harsh. They had a meeting of their own. Finally they decided that each type of plant should provide a。

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is very important though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united ands hould always help each other. I’m going to do volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3.

I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later,I’ll have my own children.

Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t real ly want to spend my whole life working for a company. I hope I can start my own business.

Unit41、Can Men Handle Alcohol Better Than WomenDon: if I were you Yael, if I were a woman. that is I would reconsider that fourth drink you lust ordered You don't want a hangover tomorrowYael: I take offense to that Don Are you implying that because i'm a woman I can'thandle my alcohol as well as any man can7 That may be true for itty -bitty petite women, but i'rn six feet tall. taller than most men induding you Don And might even weigh more than you too I imagine that you're the one who needs to watch out for a hangoverDon: Well. Yael the average weight difference between women and men is one reason why women tend to get intoxicated faster, but there's more Women also tend to have more fat and less muscle than men. even tall women ThIS IS significant because musde tissue contains more water than fat does and alcohol dissolves in water and thus is diluted With about ten percent more waterin their bodies than women. men can drink more alcohol than women before becoming intoxicated in fact. studies show that women suffer worse hangovers than men too Men tend to experience more sweating and vomiting as a result of dnnking butoverall women suffer more, including dehydration. exhaustion, headaches. and nausea With every drink, women are reaching higher degrees of intoxication than their male counterparts and thus it makes sense that they're reaching higher degrees of hangover too Wlore research is needed though to determine for certain why women'shangovers are worse.Yael:Hmm.Maybe I'll order a pitcher of water with this last drink. Don:Good idea.2、Gender and MathPotter=Net Potter, Hyman:Suzanne Hyman; Hyde:Janet Hyde Anchor: Many leachers and parents have said it is sort of a lhought ingrained in lhe American psyche that the boys are better than giris at mathematics. But is it true? Thelack of women mathematicians. engineers and physicists has often be cited to prove of differences in sexes in malh performance Bulloday a team of researchers writing on the journal Science says the conventional wisdom is completely wrong. With our closer look here is ABC's Ned Potter.Girl A: Oh, Oh, Look! Look! We can do itPotter: 15 years ago it was an issue that fllled headlines that byhigh school giris were falling 15 poinis behind boys on the SAT college enirance exam Here's part of story ofours from 1994. But any time I see math, i just. I try and stay away from it.Potter: But something's changed This is Romone She was a baby when we did that first story Now she is building robots in a special course at the New Jersey institute of Technology. And she says she loves this stuff. What is it about math that you like? Romone: The fad is that I understand it There are some things sometimes I don'l have to study, actually it just comes natural to me.Potter: Researchers looked at test scores from more than 7 million kids grades 2 t0 11 and whatever differences they are used to be, they are now gone. What's happened? Among other things, hi-tech has turned cool with everyone lexting and downloading and some people getting very rich And teachers have been reaching out aggressively to the girls. urging them to get in on the action. 500 points for you.Hyman: Being interested in lhe science, engineering and lechnology does not makePotter: The result, for the first lime giris are taking malh as often as boys I feel like i'm learning a lot more this year:Hyde: We are not born knowing how to do calculus, and when giris take classes at the same rate as boys, we tend to gel a nearing of the gender gapPotter: Most of the American engineers are still men but thatis changing. Half of the kids who go on to get math degrees are now female. Net Potter3、When Wives Make MoreLauer: Matt Lauer; Chatzky:Jean Chatzky, Saltz:Gail SaltzDr Gail Saltz is a psychiatrist and Today contributor and Money Magazine'sJean Chatzky is Today's financial editor Ladies, good morning to both of youBoth: Good morning, MattSo you, you look at this statistics, you say, Ok. 25 percent of marriages right now, the woman earn, earns more than the man Great for women. great strides But if you also look at the fact that in those marriages the divorce rate is higher than in marriages where the man makes more, you realize you have a problem here Chatzky: You absolutely have a problem lt's making people onboth sides of the equation uncomfortable. women lust as much as men Money is power and power is masculinity This has so much to do with what your view of it means to be masculine and feminine lt's for both, it's very important for both because if you don't feellike your man as masculine, right? Then what does that say about yourfemininity?OK, just wait a second, we understand why the men get freaked out Just, coz' they've been taught to say I am the provider (Rightl) I am the protector But why exactlyChatzky: lt's guilt, it's guilt for leaving the household. going out, out-earning your spouse, depriving him of that masculinityI think it's exactly that Depriving him of that it's, it's imagined women could get to, what am I really guilty about They think they are robbing their husbands of his masculinityAnd at some point, don't they start to question whether their husbands reallytrying as hard as he should be, and, and is he a slacker in some cases?I think that's defensively somewhat to relieve their guilt Well maybe he's been a slacker, it's not me robbing him a bit But of course there is a wish to have an equal partner and feel provided for too on the part of the womanLet me get to some of the tips that you both come up with for how to make thiswork in an innerrelationship Think outside the box and I think what. what you mean there is, redefine what it means to the terms: masculine and feminineVery much so lt's that and it's also come look for other ways to make each other feel masculine and feminine So it doesn't have to be only about money being powerThere is time commitment; there is organization; there is nurturing What else do you provide in ways you can make each other feel those masculine and feminine roles Soltz: ExactlyChatzky: That's rightuauer: Don't feel guilty That's the other oneChatzky: Well, and it's what that guilt makes you do. that's the problem We've seen with women who out-earn their spouses, they come home and they take on a vast majority of the household chores which causes much more stress in the relationshipand they hand their paychecks over there is a new book out that shows women who out-earn their spouse just give the money to the guys and let them manage That's no good for anybody uauev So that they can have something that makes them feel masculine again They,they are running the household finance. so even if theyare not bringing in those, that moneyChatzky: RightSoltz: That's true And that, and that might not be a bad thing to say You could manage as long as the woman still knows where the money is and she has access to the moneyuauer: And by the way. you very rarely hear women who make a lot of money talking about the fact they make a lot of money You hear men talking about that all the timeThey avoid the subject, women?Chatzky: Right! We heard in the tape that women talking about the fact that she actually hides this This, this couple goes out to dinner She lets him pay the checks so he feels betterSoltz: You know, Matt, what matters so much is the roles of your family-of-origin So a woman might not feel comfortable talking about the money she's making if her motheruauer: By the way. this subject gets verl/ complicated when the wife becomes pregnant And the baby arrives, Now what about the maternity leave? if the wife is the.is the primarl/ breadwinner, how comfortable is she gonna be even considering being astay-at-home mom?Chatzky: Right and because you have to run the numbers inadvance and you have to really explore the options And we are not talking about the good point of this which isthat this gives the family overall some additional flexibility (Lauer: Options ) to figure out who should be working at which point And if your lines of communication are open, then you can really use these to your advantageuauev But again, more of these marriages end in divorce than traditional types of marriages, so there are clearly some issues to be dealt with Gail and Jean, thanks very muchChatzkv: Sure4、Computer Science and WomenWhen you hear the term, "computer geekr what image immediately pops into mind? is the geek in your mind's eye a woman? Probably notThere's a reason that the stereotype of the computer geek is almost always depicted as male Around the worid, significantly more men than women work in computer scienceSociologists understand that the underrepresentation of women in the sciences and mathematics isn't simply a matter of women stinking at these subjects or lacking interest in them ifwomen believe they aren't talented in science and math or that these subjects don't hold interest for them, this is in part a result of the widely circulated belief that these subjects come more naturally to men Women are thought to be better suited to fields such as education and healthcare Women who dare choose a career in the sciences or in math are likely to experience prejudice from their male colleagues, as well as from the community atlarge Sociologists found it curious though that the degree to which women are underrepresented in computer science varies largely from one industrialized country to another Women are much better represented in computer science in South Korea, ireland, and Turkey than in the Czech Republic, Germany, or Belgium, for exampleWhy the difference? What South Korea. ireland. Turkey. and the United States all have in common is that governmental education requirements insist that giris and boys alike complete a significant number of science and mathematics courses in order to graduate from high schoolAs a result of such requirements. giris are able to judge from experience whether their interests and talents lie in science and math rather than letting gender stereotypes decide for them6、Women Playing a Major Role in AfghanJami: Rahima Jami; Abirafeh : Lina Abirafeh; Yelenek : Emily YelenekReporter: Rahima Jami is a high school principal from Herat province, running for parliament in Afghanistan's first legislative elections in decades Ms Jami is an advocate for women's rights, but on this day, she is addressing an audience of men only Jami: I have tried first to get the men to listen and then the women I noticed this brought me good results Because in Afghan society. if a man can agree with what a woman says. this is excellent, then we all can agreeReporter: Ms Jamiis one of several hundred women among some 3.000 candidates running for parliament in Sunday's elections When the Taleban regime seized power in 1996, it barred women from working and giris from studying Women were often beaten if they went outside without wearmg a head-to-toe burqaBut since U S -led forces ousted the Taleban government in 2001, Afghanistan has set up a democratic system of government and the lives of many women have been improved Under the new Afghan law. women are guaranteed one quarter of the 249 national assembly seats Lina Abirafeh. who works on the UnitedNations and Afghangovernment group organizing Sunday's elections, says women are already playing a more prominent role in publiclifeAbirafeh: lt's important to look at how far Afghanistan has come in such a short time.There is a ver\/ progressive quota in place and this quota, 25 percent of the seats (inparliament) reserved for women was decided in the Afghan constitution by Afghans themselves So there is an initiative by Afghans to promote women. to level the playing field and women understand that they have a right and a responsibility to play an active Reporter: Still, women candidates face obstacles above and beyond those ofAfghanmen in this conservative Muslim societ,} Taleban insurgents have threatened to kill women taking part in the election On Wednesday. a female candidate in eastern Nuristan province survived an assassination attempt after attackers fired at her while she was campaigning A recent report by the rights group, Human Rights Watch, in New York says that in some Taliban stronghold provinces, several seats will remain empty because there are so few women candidates The group warns of an "underlying climate offear among many voters and candidates,especially in rural areas " And in a country where most people YorK says tnat in some TaIIDan strongnoid provinces, several seats will remain empty because there are so few women candidates The group warns of an "underlying climate offear among many voters and candidates, especially in rural areas " And in a country where most people are illiterate, civic education officers like Emily Yelenek must teach voters their basic rights Yelenek: Peop!e are interested but a lot of women dorVt understand what this election is about and what the parliament actually means So it's our job really to explain to people you know, what the elections are and what the parliament means, what the Wolesi Jirga(Lower House) is, what the provincial councils do and, you know. what their rights are fundamentallyReporter: Many people. like this woman from Herat province, also complain they do not know anything about the candidatesDuring the Taliban years. the countW broke down, there were no schoolsSo people emigrated to iran and Pakistan and other countries Now they have just returned. some aren't even from Herat, and we don't know who these candidates areReporter: Whatever the outcome on Sunday, observers say that theelections will be a critical test of women's freedom to take part in AfghanistarVs political life7、Why do Men liveRabi:Robi Ludwing, Steve: Steve SantagatiWoman: My husband does notlie to me Most men lie. but my husband doesn'tlieMan: Of course, everybody liesHost: Robi Ludwing is a psychotherapist Steve Santagati is with Men's Journal Goodmorning to both of youRobi: Good morningSteve: Good morningHost: Ok, let's start this off Everybody lies, (that's true)men. men and womenRobi: No, I haven't seen it; in fact, women and lie. probably. women and menprobably lie at the same amount But women and men lie about different things Sowhen women lie. it's usually more complimentary or altruistic, the white lies, they are kind of nice to make you feel better . (you're lovely to make this way) according to the studies That's right Steve: Women are only giving white lies according to the website when you did at home?Host: Wow Santagati is often winning No, it's lust Robi: And men. I have got it already. i'm not even winning myself And men lie about self-aggrandizing themselvesSteve: So. in any event, she's outrageous hereHost: What will men ( do) to take care of ourselves?Steve: We, so lying started as a servile technique and it went a little crazy, men. a lot of times, will lie because when we tell women the truth, they are going nutsHost: So it's that Jack Nickelson(a famous actor)--you can't handle the truth (Well. They can handle it )Robi: They do avoid it, but it's not only the women Men lie to other men They lie about sex. they lie about how much they made, they lie to make themselves feel better Lying is a(This. all right ) way to increase one's self-esteemSteve: She is making a scene a lot worse than what we really are We lie because men, our whole thing, is to be powerful And we don't wanna seem vulnerable, and we don't wanna seem weakSo if we lie a little, you knowRobi: And alsoHost: Was it, was it. when it comes to the man and woman thing,(Yeah ) is it because men don't like confrontation. we can't say we tell this. this, this white lie. for example. Did this jeans make me look fat?Robi: Right, exactly (Never tells truth )And that's a great, and that's a great point Sometimes lies are not deliberate, they are spontaneous So a man feels like he's being put on the spot in the moment and he comes up with something that won't hurt another person's feeling So it's not all ill-intendedSteve: Not rightly so, you showed it as there is a time. there is a time to lie. and there is a time to tell the truthRobi: When is it the time to lie. Steve?Steve: When, when the truth. when the truth is either going to be unproductive, ur, destructive orjust doesn't really matter for the situation whatever it might be the timeRobi: And there are different kmds of lies I meanHost: I am gonna say is it ok, are there times when it's ok to lie because look, i've got kids and I tell them it's not ok to lie, (Right Right ) but where we do and say two different thingsRobi: Right, you know, white lies you don't wanna get yourself introuble Obviously, you don't want hurting another person's feeling But if folk, if you are chronicallylying about very important things, then it interferes with having trust in a relationship And without trust you can't have a good relationship it interferes with the foundationHost: But now I see you talk about, when you are seeing a woman(Right ) that you really like and you start off telling the truthSteve: That's rightHost: Something happensSteve: When you start telling the truth. and all of a sudden, the way we should response to lt's so dramatic and it adds so much aggravation of the relationship She started building a liar Women can build liars by the way when they react Let's say for example I tell you the truth and you don't like the truthRobi: Right, Like in the green roomSteve: Think Like in the green room Think, breathe and talk to me like an adult and I will tell you the truth every single time But ifI see that you are acting crazy. I wanna be like en, en, Alie is easierRobi: I actually, I am in agreement with Steve You know, if you urh. pretend a littlebit(all right, I am not a liar ) l might be lying But if you basically can handle, and let a person know listen, I am open to hearing what you have to say Then you are more likely hear the truth from somebody who isn't inclined to be honest that our people. No matter how you react or what you do,(they are gonna lie to you) They just. they just want to lie because they can't deal with realitySteve: And I think the big thing is to tell the truth when it's really important. and you'IIUnit51、Washington State's TWD: Texting While DrivingWalte=Chana Joffe Walte, Diamond=Jen Diamond, Stone=Linda Stone Anchor: Okay, be honest. When was the last time you got lost driving and called a friend on your cell phone to get directions? Or dialed your spouse to give a heads-up that you were stuck in traftic? Five states have passed legislation banning calls on hand-held cell phones while driving. Now, Washington State has gone one step further; it has passed the first explicit ban on text-messaging while driving Chana Joffe Walte reports.Walte: When she starts driving, Jen Diamond in Seattle first has to get to the right radio station Then directions.GPS: Your entire route is now shown Continue to follow .Walte: Then, her four-year-old Elijah has requests from the backseat, lots of them. I want to listen to Beastie Boys now.GPS: Take the next left turnWalte: Then, recovering the grapes from Elijah, who is now dropping them on the floor There are also toys rolling up under Jen's feet, and, of course, the never-ending pounding in her back.You're kicking my chair, EliWalte:And then, a text message from her partner "Close to home?" Jen texts back, 'five minutes: And then Actually, that last part didn'treally happen But, it could when the text messaging ban in Washington State goes into effect January lst, 2008 But everything that did happen - the DJ-ing, GPS-ing and beating the kids - all stilllegal,Diamond: One of our magazines that we got said you shouldn't do anything other than drive wHle you're driving, but nobody does that Walte: Really? No one just pays attention to driving? i jumped out of Jen's pimped-out mom van and enter Linda Stone's BMW to find out Woman: So we're on the highway (Okay) Let's see what people are doing Stone: We're in spy mode, and you're our spy leaderWalte: My spy follower, Linda Stone, is an ex-software executive who's now a tech consultant, writing a book about attention At first, we only see minor offences: a girl doing her hair. some guy eating chips, but then, we hit traffic, and the criminals come out of the woodworkWoman: That woman is text-messaging, right thereStone: She isWoman: in the HondaStone: She's totally stopped and text-messagingWoman:AndlookingdownatherlapWalte: OK. OK, I know that's bad But i'm gonna' play the role of a rule-obsessed five year-old here for a minute and ask the obvious: what about the guy we just saw reading the paper? How come that's not banned? Or the woman we see flossing her teeth? The closed-eyed singing or thetons of people we see eating? There are hundreds of things we do in our car that are potentially dangerous distractions But Linda Stone says the ban on text-messaging is symbolic She says it represents a larger push to do one thing at a timeStone: We're looking at different ways to protect our time You see the signs all around of people carmg more about protection and quality oflife Walte: Signs like how everyone and their mom does yoga nowadays And literal signs that say "no cell phones" in restaurant or even some stores Stone says the text ban is part of finally declaring: Enough is enough Stone: I think that if someone had tried to legislate this even five years ago, there's no way that they would have been able to pass this bill And I think that it's because people are so ready to start making changes Walte: For those of you in Washington State who are not ready to start making2、Spanish Plane CrashHedblom:Marcus Hedblom; Goglia:John Goglia, Done:Kevin Done Anchor: lt's one of Spain's deadliest commercial plane crashes More than 150 people dead, fewer than 20 survived A Spanish jet liner taking off from the capital city of Madrid, veered off the runway and crashedTonight, as investigators try to figure out what caused it, the families of passengers are trying to find out who's dead and who's alive it was sheer pandemonium Grief-stricken family members were in shock when Man: it was all about helping out people, there were dead people The fire fighters would ask us, "Could you help with the stretchers?"
