Video1
Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford…. No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.
[ Knock on door ]
Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye．
Nick: Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?
Talia: I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again:When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?
Nick: I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．Talia: Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．
Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch．Talia: Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.
Nick: Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.
Talia: Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.
Nick: Right. And she explains that I, II have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.
Talia: OK. Can you think of anything else?
Nick: Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．
Talia: A commercial? What commercial?
Nick: I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．
Video2
Talia: Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear mo re about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．
Nick: OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…
Jackie: So, you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.
Nick: Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?
Jackie: Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.
Nick: Cool!
Jackie: In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?
Nick: Sure.
Jackie: OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day.
Nick: So far, So good.
Jackie: OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”
Nick: Uh—huh.
Jackie: And you say, “That’s me. ”Or something like that．
Nick: Right．
Jackie: And then the kid says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?” And you say, “Kicks. What else?”
Nick: That’s it?
Jackie: That’s it.
Nick: So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?
Jackie: That’s all you have to do.
Talia: That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lu nch. Then she edited the tape, So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.

Talia: One of Nick’s teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick’s shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.
Tony: Of course! The bottom line is… being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.
Talia: Still. I can’t imagine…
Tony: OK. So, now, what’s you r plan?
Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.
Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won’t run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you’re not emotionally involve d in this story.

Nick: I can’t believe it! They admitted everything.
Talia: And we got it all on tape.
Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me ?

Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me. Talia:Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.
Nick:Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…Talia:I guess you’re right.
Nick:Why don’t you finish dinner?
Talia:… But if w e leave now, Tony will still be in the office.

Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.
Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?
Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.

Talia: Oh, sure. Here. Oh, this is so exciting.

Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.
Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.
Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?
Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on.
Tony: Did you press “play” and “record” together?
Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.
Tony: You probably just pressed “play.”
Talia: This is a disaster.
Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way.
Amy: Poor Talia.
Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?

Talia: Y ou’re right. What’s done is done. Or in this case, what’s not done is done. Nick: Look, Talia, i f you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.
Talia: How can you stay so positive?
Nick:I don’t know. It’s just my nature.
Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimisti c. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.
Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.
Talia: Y es, they are. Nick, they’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is I let you down.

Talia: No, I don’t think so.
Nick: Well, my grandmother is very wise woman. She always told the truth. She always said the truth would win out.

Nick:It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough.
Talia: Who is that?
Jackie: Surprise!
Talia: You?
Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.

Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company ...
Talia: Kicks.
Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.
Talia: And then?
Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement.
Talia: And did he?
Jackie:Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Gower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?
Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just - found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.
Talia: I see.
Jackie:Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.

Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.
Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?
Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.
Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that. Dean:That lying…
Nick:Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.
Dean: This is crazy!
Coach:I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry you had to go through all of this.
Nick: Thanks, Coach.
Coach:Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour—you’ll be there, right?

Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview. Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.
Amy: Of course he does.

Talia:True. But Nick, I …
Nick: Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.
Talia:OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.
Nick:I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.
Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?
Nick:What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.
Talia: Good. Because THIS is where I’m moving.
Nick: Huh?
Talia:THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeatdown. Tony said he’d match their offer.

I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home!

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in
Unit5 Ⅰ.Lead-in 1.People keep pets for a variety of reasons. Some feel lonely and need company. Other people keep pets for security. Still others buy pets just to be in fashion. Finally, some people keep animals at home just out of love or pity. Their hearts are full of love, which pours out naturally for animals as well as humans. 2.Most people prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are. Also, dogs are more intelligent than cats. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. However, I wouldn't go as far as to claim that cats are worthless. Thanks to their soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, they are often ladies' favorites. 3.It's hard to arrive at a conclusion on this question. It is obvious that if a pet like a cat is kept in the apartment without much chance of going out, it looks sad and inactive. Without proper physical exercise and enough exposure to the sun, it tends to become weak. However, they also have their compensation. In a human household pets are normally well fed. I should like to point out that a pet's intelligence is also an important factor. A dog or a cat may be intelligent enough to feel lonely, but I doubt whether less intelligent animals like a tortoise or fish can feel the difference between the human home and the wild or whether they can develop a feeling of loneliness, sadness or homesickness. In any case, a human home can provide them with better living conditions. 4.In my opinion, it is all right for us to eat meat such as pork, beef and chicken. To explain this, let me quote from the movie "The Lion King". The father lion tells his son that it is all right for them to eat the antelope: "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." In the case of dog meat, people's opinions seem to vary. I think with the progress of human civilization and improvement of the living standards, we should discard the habit of eating dogs, since they are so intelligent and so loyal to us. Ⅲ.Listening In Task1:Dogs aren't allowed here! Manager: I'm sorry, Miss, but dogs aren't allowed in this theater. Mary: But I have a ticket for him. Manager: I'm very sorry, but animals aren't permitted. Mary: You don't understand. This is a special case. My dog is so well-trained and so intelligent that he's almost human. Manager: I see that you have an exceptional animal, but... Mary: I promise you that if there is any problem we'll leave the theater immediately. I promise you that this dog isn't like any other dog you've ever seen. Manager: Well... all right. I'll let you go in, since the theater is almost empty tonight. But your dog will have to behave himself, or you will have to leave. Mary: Thank you very much. Task2:Put the cat out!
