I’d like to welcome you to City University. I’m Betty Russell and I work in the International Students’ Office. I have some important for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Them, you’ll need to pick up a library card so you can borrow books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school. There’s no charge for student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card when you go there. Concerning medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.1.B2.D3.B4.C5.ATask 2: Living on Campus(M=man; W=woman)M: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.M: Is that what you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there are so many people around and it’s easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?M: No, this is the first time.W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus.M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different . But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown. W: But imagine commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would take so much time.M: Yeah, but what about the food here?it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while. M: True.Lisa John John Lisa John LisaTask 3:Which comes first,day or night?There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course.He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview.Since the boy answered all the questions correctly,the interviewer decided to corner him.“Tell me your choices,”said the interviewer to the boy.“I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult.Which option would you prefer?Think before you make up your mind.”The boy thought for a while and said,“My choice is one really difficult question.”“Well,you have made your own choice!”said the interviewer.“Tell me: Which comes first,day or night?”The boy was jolted firstbut he thought for a while and said,“It’s the day ,sir.”“Why?”asked the interviewer.He was smiling.“Sorry,sir,but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!”Admission to the course was thus secured.1.In order to gain admission to a study course.2.To corner him,3.He could answer either ten easy questions or one really difficult.4.He was jolted/shocked.5.Because the interviewer had promised that he would only ask one difficult question.Task 4: An Announcementattention closing five checkouts leaveIV.

I haven’t even had a chance to breathe!Jane: I know. It’s especially crazy when you’re a freshman. Hey, what’s your major? Michael: Travel and tourism.Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?Michael: Uh… I really haven’t decided. I think I’d like to work for a travel agency in this area.What about you?Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldn’t be as difficult.Michael: Have you got a part-time job to support yourself through school?Jane: Well, I’m on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.Michael: Wow, lucky you!Jane: Yeah. How about you? Are you paying for school yourself?Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at travel agency.Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you do there?

It does bring in some money, but I think experience is more important.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: University LifeUniversity life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.”I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed out I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HA VING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess I’m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don’t get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I don’t move until Friday afternoon.1.new and different2.on his own3. a bit confused4.talk with5.sleep inTask 2: Listening effectivelyThought it makes up 50% of every communication,listening,it seems ,is the least taught subject.Listening is more than just hearing:It requires understanding. In an educational setting,listening effectively is critical.Effective listening helps us do our assignments well,and take better notes.Doing these activities well results in better learning and,most of the time,in good grades.In a professional setting,listening is also critical.When you receive an oral message,your response must be correct.If you fail to listen to customers or clients,you may lose THEIR business,and YOUR job!In a personal setting,listening deepens your relationships.When we listen to someone,we say“You”re important” without even speaking a word.When we fail to listen,not only do we not receive the message,but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.F T T F T。

It looks quite easy.Mark :I’m not so sure about that! Janet, there’s something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We’ve decided to get involved. Janet :Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don’t usually do that.Mark :Stude nts often do that here. Anyway, we’re thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet :Sponsored punting! What’s that?Kate :Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet :What a great idea! I’d love to join you!Mark :That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list of things we need to do.Kate :I’ll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.Mark :Yes. And choos e a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I’ve got one here.Kate :That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?Mark :I’ll do that. What have we got so far?Kate :Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form …Um … We have to decide where the punt will start from.Mark :Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently.Kate :I’m with you on that.Janet :Me too …Conversation2Janet :I’m not used to boats – Woah!Mark :Whoops!Kate :Watch out!

I’ve got the hang of it now – give me a chance.Kate :Well, I’d like to have a go.Mark :Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to.Kate :Yes, great.Janet :You’re really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It’s exactly how I imagined lifehere! Look over there –isn’t it lovely!Kate :Yes, it is.…Janet :Kate, everything’s organized, isn’t it, for collecting the sponsorship money?Kate :Yes, I’ve arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday –if they haven’t paid online. I’ll count it all up.Janet :Good. We’d better have a meeting soon after that, don’t you think? How much have we raised?Kate :About 600.Janet:Fantastic! I’m so enjoying this!Mark :Hey guys, I’ve got a suggestion – how about moving over to the bank and we can have our picnic! Hey, look, there’s Louise and Sophie!Mark :Whoo …Girls Mark!Janet :Are you all right?Mark :Er … Of course I’m all right. Kate, I think it’s your turn to punt!Outside viewV/OHarvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university’s Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.AlexHarvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of government, for the John F. Kennedy School of Government, so, era, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.V/OWe asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.AshleyUm, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and … Um, there’s a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s what I do.AdamIt is whatever you want it to be. It’s good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.BrianSocially, like you said, it’s, it’s a lot of what you make it. Um, we don’t have fraterniti es here, and so, you know, that’s, it’s obviously not as social. There’s not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o’clock.And then we, and then we’ll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. JodieNot everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it’s, I think it’s a fun place to be.Int.Have you made a lot of friends?JodieOh, definitely.Int. :Mm.JodieMany.Int.What, what do you do with your friends?JodieUm, well, I like to go to concerts. I’m in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.V/OWe asked the Harvard students if they use theInternet.AshleyUm, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that a lot. And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so.Int.So how often do you use it, a week, a day?AshleyUm, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week.BrianOh yes, definitely. We live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet; follow me stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even though e-mail is not officially Internet, we, that’s how we communicate a lot at college, so, through the e-mail.JohnUm, I use the intern et mostly for, er, I’d say, sort of leisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don’t, we don’t have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there’s some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to see what’s happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don’t usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so.Listening inPassage1V/OHi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers –now half-way through their first year –the ques tion, “How are you finding uni?” Here are some of the answers we got.Speaker 1It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already.Speaker 2I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month –that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3“How am I finding uni?” It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant sociallife, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I –I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and getting good grades.Speaker 4Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently –yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah –I’m feeling a lot happier now.Speaker 5Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem –and it’s quite a big problem – is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t –it’s just not enough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage2Oxford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as “Oxbridge”. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regula rly come top in any ranking of the world’s best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modern universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge’s comedy clubFootlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK’s most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever studentsall over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.Unit 2Inside viewConversation1Kate :Come in. Hey, Janet.Janet :Hi Kate, are you busy?Kate :Yes, I’m just doing an essay. But it’s great to see you. So what’s new?Janet :Well, nothing much.Kate :You look a bit fed up. What’s bugging you?Janet :Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made me feel homesick. It happens every time they call, and it gets me down.Kate :I’m sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable after the call.Janet :My dad doesn’t say much, and I want to spe ak to him, but I wish I knew what to say. Kate :Don’t let it get to you. My dad doesn’t say much on the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says, “Hi, I’ll pass you to your mother.” It’s really irritating.Janet :But I miss him and my mother a lot, and I like to hear his voice.Kate :Just tell him what you’re up to.Janet :Sometimes I feel as if I made a mistake leaving home and coming to Oxford. Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager.Kate :Try not to worry about it, Janet. It’s normal t o feel like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will be fine next term. You’ll get used to it. Hey, why don’t you do what I do? Janet :What’s that?Kate :When my dad calls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I getto hear his voice!Janet :Maybe. I’m sorry to take up your time, Kate, but I must go now. Bye!Kate :Wait a minute …!Conversation2Kate :I think I may have upset Janet last night.Mark :What happened?Kate :She came to see me. I was busy doing a n essay but I was really pleased to see her. She’d had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick.Mark :Poor kid! It must be tough on you guys, living so far away from home.Kate :I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, “I must go now” and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if I’d said something wrong.Mark :Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were working and didn’t want to disturb you.Kate :I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to make her laugh? Perhaps she thought I wasn’t taking her seriously.Mark :I w ouldn’t worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel if you were a student at college in China?Kate :I know. That’s why I feel bad. If only she had stayed longer! I wish I could have helped her more.Janet :Hey, everyone!Mark :Hi Janet, you look cheerful!Janet :Yes, I’ve just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus!Kate :What an amazing grade! Well done.Mark :I’m really happy for you, Janet.Janet :I feel on top of the world!Outside viewSebastienHi. I’m Sebastien. I’m from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while, but recently there’s been this new idea of the EQ –your emotional quotient. And by now, it’s actually almost being regarded as more important. If you look at it, bu sinesses will ... Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, (I)mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with other people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference betweenIQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a “brainiac”, and they will be great at most things they do, but if you just can’t get along with him, if you just can’t communicate with him, I mean, you know, he’s not really that useful.KimHi. This is Kim. I’m originally from Korea, and I was raised in California. And today, we a re going to talk about the differences between IQ and EQ –IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in … When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take … I think I’d taken like two or three IQ tests before the age o f ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you kno w, emotional, caring about … It’s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.I think they’re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there’s a better mixture of the two I think. There’s a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My na me is Ted, and I’m from the United States of America. Today, I’m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ – which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “IQ. What’s your IQ? Take an IQ test.” But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they’re … that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ – how you deal with people, how you interact with people – is important. Now, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I’m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening – listening to others – and it can be more important than IQ.Listening inPassage1PresenterWe’re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has j ust written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world of advertising. It’s called Market Colours. Dr Hudson, which are the most common colours in advertising and marketing? Dr HudsonWell, of course, it depends what image the marketing team wish to project with their products. So for example, we often think of blue as a cold colour, but it also makes you feel peaceful, quiet, and it doesn’t suggest strong emotions. So it’s a favourite for banks and insurance companies, who wish to suggest the image that they are trustworthy. And for selling products, it’s often used to suggest something is pure and fresh.What about red?You can sell almost anything with red. It’s a hot colour, which suggests a feeling of energy and even passion. It grabs your attention, and can make people buy almost anything. You often see red on magazine covers. But if you use it too much, it looks cheap and may make people tired. And orange has a similar effect to red, it’s upbeat and happy, it s uggests pleasant feelings and images. Most people react well to orange, and it’s especially popular in advertising and on packaging for baked food.What about yellow, for instance?Yellow is the colour of sunshine and it’s a positive, happy colour, so it’s used a lot in advertising. But it’s also often used for warning signs, direction signs, and so on, where you have to read the message quickly and at a distance.What about less popular colours for advertising?Surprisingly, green isn’t used much in advertising except for garden products. It’s friendly and restful. It can be cool and soothing, the colour of apples and mint, but it can also be quite strong and many people associate it with unpleasant ideas of decay or slimy creatures. But most colours ar e not primary colours, they’re a combination. Absolutely. So yellow-orange is common, and often used to give an impression of style and class, it looks like gold. But it’s not often used in letters because it’s not very strong. And yellow-green reminds people of feeling sick.Blue-green works well as a cool colour, suggesting freshness, and is sometimesused for toothpaste products, bathroom products, food and household cleaning products. It has many of the advantages of blue without the disadvantages of green.Fascinating.Thank you very much, DrScriptsHudson.

Come on!Conversation2Mark :So did you ring the police?Kate :Yes. I went to the police station to report it.Mark :What did they say?Kate :No one’s found it. This woman said that Oxford has the fif th highest rate of bike theftin the country!Mark :You’re joking!Kate :That’s what she said.Mark :What else did she say?Kate :She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back – the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and then people find them and report them.Mark :So you might get it back.Kate :I hope so, Mark, I really do. It’s just too much you know? But … um … what else? She told me to go to this sale they have of abandoned bikes. She thinks I might find it there. But it’s on ly every two months, I can’t wait till then! Honestly, Mark, I’m really furious!Mark :You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.Kate :Hello … Speaking … You found it! Where was it? Is it …? Oh, that’s fantastic news! There was a lamp and a basket on it … Right … OK, thank you, I’ll be in tomorrow morning to pick it up. Unbelievable! This guy found it!Mark :Brilliant! Was that the police?Kate :Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside this guy’s backyard.Mark :That’s so strange!Kate :The lamp’s been stolen and the basket.Mark :Forget about it! You’re lucky to get it back!Outside viewPart1PresenterDodgy deals aren’t the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your door step presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home.I’m joined now by Ian Holt, from Thames Valley Police. Ian, just outline for me what does distraction burglary actually entail?IanHoltW ell basically what happens is, somebody uses a story to get inside somebody’s house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.PresenterAnd what are the different techniques that are commonly used?IanHoltWell basically th e er … the people that commit this crime move from area to area, er … they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may beer, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property.Something that indicates that there’s, there’s a vulnerable person in there. It … usually, it’s an elderly person that lives there. Is this quite a common problem now? It is becoming more common. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary.But, it … there’s a slight increase this year over last year’s figures.OK, you mentioned some of the victimsbeing elderly. What other people aretargeted?Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there’s such a thing as a, a victim for this type of crime, is a white female aged 81 years.And what about things that people can do to prevent it happening, basically?Well the things they can do are very, very simple. The difficulty comes, is that some of these people, er … it’s very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the three things we, we always say is: stop, cha in and check. And that’s stop before you open the door to make sure who’s on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven’t got a chain, fit a chain to the door, or a door bar if you’ve got difficulty in handling a chain with arthritic fingers.But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from the Water Board or from utilities. They may say they’re from a charity or even from local authority. But generally, a utility will be in uniform.Ask for their identification. A genuine person will not mind you doing that and will wait until you can check them out. If you do need to check them, phone the number on, on your last bill. What won’t happen is that if it is a bogus caller, they will b ecome unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.PresenterOK and there’s also a couple of gadgets new on the market that also can help as well. Just talk us through that.IanHoltCertainly, yes. The … a spy er … viewer is fairly standard. But fo r elderly who may have poor eyesight there’s a spyscope which actually makes it a lot easier for them to see who’s outside.As I mentioned before about the door bar, again, it can be easier to apply than the chain. Very reasonable priced er, and something that is fairly new … as I mentioned before it’s very difficult for some of these people to remember what they have to do when they go to the door and that’s why they become victims.And this item is called a Memo Minder and actually you can record a mess age on there and it’s nice to have a grand-daughter or somebody to record a message, but every time the person approaches the door it reminds them with a voice to say “Putyour chain on.”Listening inPassage1Patrick :I read a funny story today in the paper – true story.Steve :Go on, then.Patrick :OK. This 72-year old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. Asecurity man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The man thenbit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve :He bit the policeman?Patrick :Yes – you have to remember, he was 72.Steve :I’d forgotten that.Patrick :Problem was, it didn’t hurt the policeman at all, ’cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before he left home.Steve :Very funny!Patrick :And the moral of the story is –Steve :Always remember to wear your false teeth if you’re going to bite someone.Patrick :That’s good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let’s see … yeah … this guy … this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America –I can’t remember where exactly – anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he’d stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, “Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I’m wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I’d taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you.”Steve :He was probably telling the truth.Patrick :He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call – the guy was ringing from a phone booth – and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve :That’s good. Stupid guy! I’ve got another true story … This – this – old guy was in court for some crime –and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said, “My client pleads not gu ilty.” The man suddenly woke up, but wasn’t sure what was happening. He jumped up and shouted, “I plead guilty! I plead guilty!”Patrick :So what happened?Steve :The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick :That’s the best, I think.Passage2Presenter :You’re listening to Kevin Fallon and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone –and it’s a very frightening experience. So it’s positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a mugger and defeated them – especially when that person is a woman. Anna Black was attacked by a mugger. She’s here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?News 24/7 Unit 4AnnaJust over a week ago. The day it happened,I was coming home from work a bit laterthan usual – I think it was about seven.

So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “O h well, it’s time for us, we should get going.” And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9 pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3 Inside view ABDBC BCABACActivity 2 Mark’s answer s: 1 T 2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory? 2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

hui. im from china. but you can call me janet.mark hi janet. welcome to england. what are you reading?janet english.mark how about you, kate?kate my major is law. and you?mark im studying ppe.kate thats a special oxford subject, isnt it?outside viewjulie my names julie dearden, and im the director of international programmes here at hertford college.eugene my names eugene berger, i studied here in oxford for four years er, studying modern languages atsomerville college.julie oh, there are many oxford traditions. oxford is a very old university, the oldest english-speaking universityin the, in the world. and so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.eugene each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. some colleges arevery conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. but there are also some specific traditions.julie formal hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. usually it takesplaces at seven oclock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. but everybody eats together. its a very beautiful evening because there are, theres a special meal and we eat by candlelight.eugene i think er, the traditions that make oxford so unique are firstly the oxford union and er, secondly, mayday. the oxford union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. julie my favourite is er, may day. and may day is the first day of may, and we have a tradition called maymorning, and on may morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. there is a choir which sings on top of the tower at magdalen college and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. so its very nice.eugene the tradition that er, was most important to me was probably summer eights. i was a rower. and summereights is a rowing competition, held in may in the summer term. and in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.julie when the students take exams, they must go to a special building and its called examination schools. andeugene i think the oxford traditions lend character to the place and its such an old institution, it should havetraditions, but they can be very inconvenient. for example, sub fuse. this is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.julie they also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. and they wear differentcolours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. so when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.eugene so we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. and towrite an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which youre not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.julie i really like the oxford traditions, i think its part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacherhere at oxford university.listening inpassage 1interviewer can you tell me something about the ivy league? youre a professor at harvard, is that right? professor thats right, yes.interviewer tell me how many universities are there? how many institutions?professor in total there are eight institutions: theres harvard, yale, brown, columbia, cornell, dartmouth,princeton, and the university of pennsylvania.interviewer ah, ok. and whats the sporting ... i believe theres some link with sports.professor there certainly is, yes. originally the ivy league referred to the sports teams from the universitieswhich competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. but in the last 50 years, ivy league schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasnt possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.interviewer and what about their academic importance? i gather theyre academically very, very important,theyre very well-known.professor absolutely at the top. theyre near or at the top of the usa colleges and university rankings. andtheyre almost always in the top one per cent of the worlds academic institutions for financial resources. interviewer and what does it mean socially to go to an ivy league university?professor certainly if youve been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end ofthe scale. the ivy league institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white anglo-saxon, protestants. not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.interviewer and do you know ... whys it called the ivy league, whats the origin of the name?professor there are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly its based on four universities, and iv, the lettersiv, thats the roman numeral for four. another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. the term was created by a sports journalist, i think in the 1930s.interviewer right, ok. and which is the oldest university?professor the oldest goes back to the 17th century, thats harvard which was founded in 1636. and the youngestof the institutions is cornell which was founded in 1865. interviewer and which has the largest number of undergraduates?professor cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. the institution with the smallestnumber is dartmouth college with a little over 4,000.interviewer and what about the acceptance rate? is it hard to get into?professor that ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.interviewer and any famous alumni? famous old boys?professor hundreds! hundreds of them. but i suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all overthe world would certainly be george bush who went to yale, and john f kennedy, president kennedy, who was at harvard.interviewer thank you.passage2andy did you see the film on television last night?jane no, i was out. what was it?andy a beautiful mind. its about john forbes nash, the mathematician who won the nobel prize.jane ive heard about that film, yes. hes played by russell crowe, isnt he? i like russell crowe, hes great. andy thats the one, yes.jane whats it about?andy well, the story begins in the early years of nashs life at princeton university as a graduate student. jane thats one of the ivy league schools, isnt it?andy yes, its all set in new england, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. its lovely to look at.anyway, nash meets his roommate charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. nash admits to charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing hes looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.jane so hes not interested in having fun?andy well, yes, but hes not very good with people or successful with women, thats all. but, you know, its one ofthese bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.jane no good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?andy thats about right, yes. so when he finishes his studies at princeton, he accepts a job at massachusettsinstitute of technology. five years later, he meets alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.jane ah! at last, the love interest!andy yes, but wait a moment. nash believes that hes been asked to work by william parcher for the usdepartment of defense on breaking soviet codes. at one point hes chased by the russians, and its after this that he becomes mentally ill.jane i think ive seen this in the trailer to the film.andy so when hes put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the soviets have captured him. hes given this painfultreatment which affects his relationship with his wife. and his intellectual skills. so he stops taking the medicine.jane it sounds quite hard to watch.andy well, it is, but its well acted and directed, and so, you know, theres a-bit of distance between the audienceand whats happening on film.jane so what happens next?andy well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. it all gets a bit complicated,because were no longer sure if charles, you know, his old friend, or even parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in nashs mind.jane that sounds awful. he must have been so ill,andy actually, im kind of giving away the twist in the story. anyway, later in his life, while hes using the libraryat princeton again, he asks his rival martin hansen if he can start teaching again. and so the story ends when he goes on to win the nobel prize in economics.jane well, it sounds like a great film.andy yes, you should see it sometime.unit 3 learning to thinkinside viewconversation 1mark hi, whatre you doing?janet oh, nothing much ... well, im just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.mark lets have a look then.janet here. its called, how much do you know about memory? ive just done it. do you want to have a go? mark ok, might as well. im not busy.janet right. look, ill read the statements. then you have to answer true or false. ready?mark yea.janet ok. physical exercise improves your memory. true or false?mark true, i suppose. it sounds like the right answer.janet youre right, exercise does improve your memory. next statement: 30 per

memory.janet have you? ok ... next one ... when youre tired, its more difficult to remember things.mark thats true, obviously. i cant remember a thing when im tired.janet correct! if you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.mark im not sure ... true?janet actually, its false.mark oh!janet eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.mark i read something in the times about that. true.janet true, it says here.mark oh, no! ive got a lecture. id forgotten. id better get going! janet oh, mark! what a good memory you have!conversation 2kate youre looking a bit down, janet. whats up?janet well... im finding studying at oxford quite hard.kate youre telling me! theres so much work!janet its not the amount of work - but everythings so different. in china, generally we have large classes, wedont have tutorials. and mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. so im not used to asking questions or discussing things. i find it difficult.kate you have to memorize a lot, dont you?janet yes, but im good at that.kate youre lucky. theres so much to remember studying law! i have difficulty sometimes, i really do. janet yes, well, weve been trained to do that. but we dont have so much training in critical thinking. kate what do you mean by critical thinking? janet let me think ... i think its giving your opinion and then justifying it.kate yes, i suppose thats what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.janet i am getting better at it, i suppose.kate hey! how about this? lets pretend im your tutor. ill make a statement. your task is to examine it and thenask questions.janet ok.kate everyone is capable of learning a second language. go on, ask a question!janet why do you say that?kate thats what the research tells us. now ask another one.janet can you give an example of some research?kate um ... no! look, im starving and i cant think at all when im hungry.outside viewpart 1teacher good morning, class.students good morning.teacher what were going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. now have any of youheard about mind maps before?students yes ... no ...teacher yes. some of you have, some of you havent. ok. have any of you actually used mind maps in the past? students no ... teacher no? ok. who can tell me what a mind map is?student 1 its a way of thinking.teacher it is a way of thinking. mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize orstructure our ideas related to a topic. what id like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. what are some of the reasons for using mind maps?student 2 to make a list?teacher to make a list? yes. we could say to brainstorm ideas. everyone contributes then-ideas as many ideas asquickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. ok, brainstorming is one of the mostimportant um, um, uses of mind maps. what might be another use or another reason for using mind maps?student 3 it can help me take notes in the class.teacher ok, for the note-taking, a very good reason. mindmaps help us to get an overview or a, a quickunderstanding about a subject. by using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, avery general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly. what are some other uses of mind maps?student 4 preparing for exams?teacher ok. preparing for exams. thats a, a very good reason. we might call this, er, revision. before an exam,after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about the subject. are there any other uses that you can thinkof for mind mapping?student 5 we can also use it for finding answers.teacher for finding answers. thats, thats a very good, good answer. we could call this problem-solving. we canuse mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives, or options to, to, to solve a problem. ok. next, id like us to talk about some of the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing everything on a piece of paper.one of the most obvious advantages, as you can see, is that mind maps are very visual. they give us um, almost a picture, a, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way. are there any other advantages that you canthink of for mind mapping?student 4 it lists the main points.teacher they do. they do list the main points. we could call this um, a quick summary. as you can see, we havemain ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts. and in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key connections for mind maps or for our given subject. are there any other advantages you can think of? student 1 to think creatively.teacher to think creatively. thats, thats a very good point. we could call this creative thinking. and what wemean here is basically thinking outside of the box or thinking laterally. mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.part2teacher next, id like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps. so far we have completedthree quarters of our mind map about mind maps. and then id just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about.student 2 there is a centre.teacher there is a centre. there is what we call a central word, a central word or a phrase. it might also be asentence or a question. you might have that in the centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. what else do you notice about the design of this mind map?student 1 there are only words, not sentences.teacher exactly. there are many what we call key words as they capture the main thought of, of an issue ratherthan a long sentence or, or a passage. this helps us to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as well. what other aspects of design do you notice here?student 5 it looks like a tree.teacher it does look like a tree because it has branches. by having branches, it shows how, um, thinking isradiating out or spiraling out from key ideas or central ideas to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. are there any other aspects of design which you notice in this particular map?student 2 you used a lot of colours.teacher i did. i perhaps use too many colours. i have used different colour to show the different key words ordifferent aspects of mind mapping. you might like to use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map or key information. or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. its very much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan your thinking. you might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the key words. or you might even use symbols. well put a question mark because this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. for example, i might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or identifying my central phrase, mind maps. this could be a, a feature of my own mind maps. whenever i design a mind map, i highlight my central thought using a speech bubble symbol.listening inpassage 1interviewer with us today is martin downes, a carpenter, whos 51. a year ago, martin had a stroke. but hesbeen lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. can you tell us how it all began, martin?martin im very happy to - not that i remember much at all. i was at a customers house, building a cupboard, andthe next thing i knew, i woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.interviewer it must have been very frightening.martin it was. but what was really frightening was that i couldnt speak. i couldnt say a word. and i couldntunderstand much that people said to me.interviewer how awful!martin yeah! i dont know what would have happened to me if i hadnt had my family. but they were there for me,they really were. i had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. but they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. this speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. they made me do all these exercises.interviewer what kind of exercises?martin i had to match words and pictures and say their names. you see, id also forgotten the names of a lot ofthings. she had this thing called a word board and i could point to words and phrases on it that i wanted to say. i had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.interviewer could you say anything to begin with?martin i could say three words. hi, yes and no. that was all. and there were a lot of words i couldntunderstand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.【篇三:新标准大学英语视听说教程1unit3答案】00171120)详细记录班级:2010-1-031 教师:李想unit 3 inside view: converstation 1 activity

Unit 1 Differences Between Cultures Thinking AheadStudents are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below:1. How do you think about the word “culture”?Culture is a word for people‟s“way of life”, meaning the way they do things. A group of people has a separate culture when that group sets itself apart from others through its actions. Cultures are what make countries unique. Each country has different cultural activities and cultural rituals. Culture is more than just material goods, that is things the culture uses and produces. Culture is also the beliefs and values of the people in that culture. Culture also includes the way people think about and understand the world and their own lives.2. Why should we study cross-cultural communication?Cross-cultural communication refers to the study of successful communications across different cultures. It concerns the understanding of tradition and modernization, consistency and change. As we understand some of the ongoing national characteristics of a people, we can examine how this culture is seen from the outside, how it interacts with other cultures and how it is changing.The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. The challenge is that even with all the good will in the world, miscommunication is likely to happen, especially when there are significant cultural differences between communicators. Miscommunication may lead to conflict, or aggravate conflict that already exists. So it is very important that we should study cross-cultural communication.(From /english/news/culture/200805/13-86570.html) Part I Video TimeIn this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will watch a video clip from Gua Sha and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, students are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video.TranscriptMrs.Xu: How come it doesn‟t look like the courtroom on TV?Judge: Because it isn‟t a courtroom, Mrs. Xu. Does either of the counselor have problem with my holding hearings in chambers?To tell you the truth, because I can‟t stand that awful echo in the courtroom, you know, winds in the gallery.(People were chuckling.)Lawyer Quinlin: No problem, your honor. John Quinlin, attorney for the defense.Judge Horowizs: Why that I‟ve never seen you around before, Mr. Quinlin?Lawyer Quinlin:I‟ve never had the honor, your honor. Er, I deal mostly with the intellectual property rights cases.Judge:Apples and oranges(风马牛不相及), Mr Quinlin; The two areas of law have virtually nothing to do with each other.Lawyer Quinlin: Well, yes, of course. So I told my client. But he insisted on my representing him.Also I‟d like to have the record show that my client only had two days‟ notice of this hearing;also for me only 24 hours‟ preparation time.Judge: I think we are putting the cart before the horse(本末倒置), your counselor. This hearing is for the purpose of determining whether there is sufficient evidence to advance court proceedings, so take off your lawyer caps. And before we get caught to these formalities, let‟s just talk about the matter. Will the Child Welfare Agency care to start? Lawyer Davis: Yes, your honor. We are prepared to proceed in any way you save it. Three days ago, we received a telephone call from the social worker on duty at St. Matthew hospital informing us of a possible case of child abuse discovered as a result of medical examination by Doctor Michael Longman. Upon administrating treatment in the ER to Denis Xu, Doctor Longman had reason to suspect that Denis had been the subject of physical abuse.Judge: I‟ve read the report, Ms. Avery. Very thorough as usual.Lawyer Davis: As you can see, the medical report indisputably proves that Denis Xu has been a subject of deliberate, long-term neglect and abuse.Lawyer Quinlin: Objection! No foundation, just conjecture and speculation!Judge: This is a hearing, not a trial, Mr. Quinlin, but you make a fine point.Lawyer Davis:In order to supplement the medical report, you will know that we provided additional evidence.(Lawyer Davis opened a suitcase.)Lawyer Quinlin: Your honor, we haven‟t received any copies of evidence or report related to this case.Margaret Avery (murmuring): I thought you provided them with copies.Lawyer Davis: En. Sorry, your honor, no recite.Margaret Avery: I do n‟t know how this could have happened.Lawyer Davis: Your honor, the CW A was currently carrying a full investigation of this case and has located a considerable number of witnesses, all of whom are prepared to testify regarding Mr. Datong Xu‟s violent nature, and the neglect and abuse he has inflicted on his young son Denis.Lawyer Quinlin: And I can produce a hundred witnesses to testify that he is a good husband and father who rather die than see his family harmed. I count myself chief among those witnesses.Margaret Avery: As my colleague has just stated, we are in the midst of a full investigation, but we will not be calling any witnesses: we feel there is no need.Datong Xu: She really doesn‟t have any witnesses.Lawyer Quinlin: Or she thinks she doesn‟t need any.Margaret Avery: Your honor, I have incontrovertible evidence that I feel we will quickly settle this matter in the court‟s mind.(Margaret Avery and Lawyer Quinlin both walked to the judge.)Lawyer Quinlin: Your honor, perhaps I don‟t understand family law, but I do understand Datong Xu. These accusations are ludicrous laughable.Margaret Avery: Perhaps you don‟t understand your friend as well as you think you do. (Margaret Avery presented pictures to the judge.)Margaret Avery: According to the doctor‟s report, the condition and coloration of the bruise were inflicted two days prior to Denis‟head injury. We believe these photographs are sufficient evidence to demonstrate that Denis Xu lives in a dangerous home environment, and should remain under the protection of the state.Judge (sternly): Please return to your seat.Lawyer Quinlin: (to Datong Xu) How could you do this to your son? Is this something you forgot to fill me in on? Did you think they will never notice your son‟s back like a piece of roast beef?Datong Xu: That is Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese medical treatment. Denis had stomach ache that day, and Gua Sha is simply a cure, a… a home remedy, you call it. I had this done on me in this time when I was a kid.Lawyer Quinlin:If this is what you call some kind of treatment that he does see what you considered as child abuse!Judge: If you two want to chit chat, we can all go home. Does the defense have something more to add?Lawyer Quinlin: No.Datong Xu: Yes I do! I think you don‟t understand. You know, Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment used for nearly all kinds of illnesses. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine had recognized that there are seven Jing and eight Mai(七经八脉). Er, for example, it is like small streams that run in to rivers and in turns fall into a sea. A person‟s body has an invisible but very complex system of vessel network, just like the computer network. And also the human Qi from Dantian finally goes to Dantian. It is the same principle!!Judge: Your kind, what is he saying?Datong Xu: It‟s the kind of…(interrupted by the judge)Judge: We don‟t understand what you say. Perhaps I should put it in another way. What does it say on every Missouri license plate?Datong Xu:Show-me state(用证据说话).Judge:Precisely. Can you get an authoritative medical expert to back your testimony in plain English that an old country judge can understand?Datong Xu: Yes, I can try.Judge: Did you do this Gua Sha to your son yourself?(A pause)Judge: Mr. Xu?Datong Xu: Yes, I did it myself.Mrs. Xu: No! It wasn‟t him.(Datong Xu started to speak Chinese.)Judge: I warn you: this hearing must be conducted in a language we all can understand. Did you have something to add at this discussion?Mrs. Xu: No, your honor.Judge: Let me ask you one more time for the sake of clarity. Did you do this Gua Sha to your son?Datong Xu: Yes, I did.Judge: Then until I was shown otherwise, I have no choice but to conclude that Denis Xu lives in an unsafe home environment, and should be kept under the supervision of the Child Welfare Agency tending a full trial on the charges.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Watching for DetailsStudents are asked to watch the video clip and choose the best answers to the questions.1) D2) C3) BExercise 2 Watching for Specific InformationStudents are asked to watch the video clip again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.Lawyer Davis: Yes, your honor.

The same principle!Task 2In task 2, students will watch a video clip about the art of paper-cutting and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, students are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural note related to the video.TranscriptThe Art of Paper-cuttingWhat I have done is only a rough idea of what I‟m going to cut out. Then I‟m going to cut it out with my scissors.(Folk paper-cutting is a Chinese art form. It‟s just like traditional Chinese painting, oil painting or calligraphy. What‟s wonderful about paper-cutting is that it isn‟t just limited to people in the countryside—everyone from all different communities do it too.)(Just like she mentioned, Liu Ren tries her best to promote the art in China and also the world.)I like doing freehand paper-cutting. Ideally you shouldn‟t draw a design on the paper and then cut it out. The best part about paper-cutting is you, the paper and scissors working together. In 1993, I was invited to exhibit Chinese paper-cutting to other countries. I hope to build more recognition for Chinese folk paper-cutting. In order to pass on this art form, I teach people who really love the art of Chinese paper-cutting, and I don‟t charge them any tuition. Last year, I had an American student who was studying Chinese culture at a UK university. He came to China to write his thesis. I gave him some lessons on Chinese paper-cutting. After he went back to continue his studies, he entered a logo design competition in his university. He created a logo by doing a paper-cutting and he won the top prize! The young student was so excited and he told me that his college friends all wanted to learn more about Chinese paper-cutting and even about me. The art form is warmly welcomed in the UK. My dream is to set up one or two paper-cutting museums in other countries.When I was young, I made butterflies in different art forms. I think everyone is born with artistic talent.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Watching for DetailsStudents are asked to watch the video clip and answer the following questions.1) What‟s wonderful about paper-cutting?Paper-cutting isn‟t just limited to people in the countryside and everyone from all different communities does it too.2) What does Liu Ren try her best to do?She tries hard to promote the paper-cutting art in China and also the world.3) What does Liu Ren do to pass on the art of paper-cutting?In order to pass on this art form, she teaches people who really love the art of Chinese paper-cutting, and she does n‟t charge them any tuition.4) Where does Liu Ren‟s student come from?America.5) What is Liu Ren‟s dream?Her dream is to set up one or two paper-cutting museums in other countries.Exercise 2 Watching for Specific InformationStudents are asked to watch the video clip again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.aper andreally love the art of Chinese paper-write his I gave him some lessons After he went back toby doing a paper-cutting and he won the top prize! The young student was so excited and he told me that his college friends all wanted to learn more about Chinese paper-cutting and even aboutPart II Listening ActivitiesIn this part, you will have 3 listening tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will listen to a passage about national symbols and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptNational SymbolsWhen many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It‟s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon‟s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual. Millions of Chinese hav e the word “long”, meaning dragon, as part of their name s.China isn‟t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales, one of the four countries in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, the tiny country between China and India.Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol to represent their country, and it is particularly obvious during sports. The English see lions as brave, proud animals and the England football team have three lions on the front of their football shirts.Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a kind of small kangaroo. Similarly, the South African team are known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope, and the New Zealander s, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as Kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can‟t fly.All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shanghai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon, and as we are all familiar with that Chinese symbol, people in the west would no doubt want China to keep the dragon too.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).F 1) People in the west have the same ideas about dragons as people in China.F 2) In China, dragons bring bad luck.T 3) Only two countries in the world have a dragon on their flag.T 4) The England football team have three lions on the front of their football shirts.T 5) Many Chinese people want to keep the dragon as a symbol of China.Exercise 2 Listening for Specific InformationStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.When many people in the west 1) think of China, the animal that they think of is the 2) dragon . For them, the dragon is an 3) aggressive monster that 4) breathes fire. Many popular 5) legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It‟s a cultural and 6) spiritual symbol for 7) prosperity and good luck. The dragon‟s main task is to create 8) harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and 9) architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular 10) ritual. Millions of Chinese have the word …long‟, meaning dragon, as part of their name.Exercise 3 Essay WritingChina, as one of the oldest countries in the world, does not only have the dragon as her symbol, but also a lot of others, which keep distinctive ancient Chinese features. Now students are asked to write an essay entitled Chinese Symbols with no less than 160 words to introduce other distinctive symbols of China.SampleChinese SymbolsIt is known to all that national symbols are heavily culture-oriented. With the world‟s longest continuous civilization, for more than 40 centuries, its people created a culture with strong philosophies, traditions and values. Thus, the national symbols for china are numerous and distinctive.The first to mention is, the Great Wall, which is one of the symbols of China and one of the seven wonders in the world. In the imperial periods, this magnificent construction was used in the defense of enemies. Sublime as it is, the Great wall is the only construction on earth that can be seen from the outer space.When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they may think of is the Giant Panda, which is the national animal of China. Giant Panda is one of the most precious animals in the world. It is easily known by its large, distinctive black patches around the ears, and on its rotund body.Terracotta-clay warriors, which unearthed in Xi‟an, is another symbol to represent Chinese long history. It is a famous ancient city, which was sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.As one of the cradles of human civilization, China possesses so many treasures with distinctive characteristics. The above mentioned are just a drop of water into the sea and a grave stone in comparison of the sand.Task 2In task 2, students will listen to a dialogue about culture shock and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural noterelated to the dialogue.TranscriptCulture Shock(Terry Joyce talks about her experience of living and working in England, where she has been for the past eleven years.)Interviewer: So, Terry. You have been in England for quite a long time now.Terry: Mmm.Interviewer: What differences do you notice between England and the United States?Terry:Obviously the biggest difference is the people. The average Englishman is…mmm…cold and not very open.Interviewer: Oh.Terry: In the United States it‟s very different. We start conversations with people in the street, in the subway; we‟re a lot more outgoing than people here. You know, when I first came, I couldn‟t understand why I was getting so little reaction from people, but now I see that they thought I was overpowering and too friendly too soon.Interviewer: But, tell me: Does the Englishman improves as you get to know him?Terry: Oh, yes.Interviewer: Oh, good.Terry: Once you have made a friend, it‟s a friend for life, but it takes a very long time. I‟ll tell you something that I think is very important. An Englishman in America is respected. Everyone wants to talk to him. We‟re inquisitive. We love his accent and his country.But Americans in England are thought to be a little inferior because of their loud behavior and their language.One thing I‟ve learned is that English people like a certain distance. When I was talking to someone, he would move away, you know, move backwards, and I thought. “Do I smell? AmI boring him?”The reason is, you see, Americans stand closer when they‟re talking whileEnglish people like a certain distance.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).F 1) The biggest difference the interviewee notices between England and America is the accent. T 2) When the interviewee first went to England, she got little reaction from the people there. T 3) Friendship with an Englishman lasts longer than that with an American.F 4) When the interviewee talked with the English people, they usually moved backwardsbecause of her bad smell.T 5) According to the dialogue, Americans in England are thought to be a little inferior because of their loud behavior and their language.Exercise 2 Listening for Specific InformationStudents are asked to listen to the dialogue again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1) English people, in general, are cold and not very open. Compared with the English people,Americans are more outgoing.2) When the interviewee first went to England, she was considered overpowering and too friendlytoo soon.3) It takes a long time to make friends with the English people. But once a friend is made, it is afriend for life.4) The Americans like to talk with an Englishman because they love his accent and his country,while Americans in England are considered inferior because of their loud behavior and their language.5) When talking with each other, Americans stand closer while English people like a certaindistance.Exercise 3 Topic ResearchAfter listening to the dialogue, we know that culture differences may cause the anxiety or feelings of surprise, disorientation, uncertainty, confusion, etc., especially when in a foreign country. This kind of anxiety or feeling is called culture shock. Do you know how to cope with culture shock in order to enjoy a happy time in a foreign country? Try to research into this topic and present your ideas to the class.Reference for the PresentationCulture shock happens to those who leave home and live in an alien country. It is possible to shorten the duration of culture shock or minimize its impact. Here are three suggestions they offer to anyone planning a stay in a foreign land.Firstly, we should be aware that such a thing as culture shock exists. It will affect those who come to a foreign land for the first time, however, it doesn‟t last forever.Next, we should know that we are responsible for our salvation, not the surrounding or the foreign culture.Thirdly, try to accept the idea that culture shock is a very valuable experience, which may be a little bit painful. It will stretch your mind, broaden your perspectives, deepen your insight into yourself and widen your tolerance for other people.Additional ListeningIn this section, students will listen to a passage about Journey to the West and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptJourney to the WestWhat do you get when you combine a 16th century work of Chinese literature, a renowned Chinese theatre director and a British rock star?The result is Monkey: Journey to the West, a show which blends acrobatics, music, animation and martial arts to tell the story of Sun Wukong and his travelling companions on their journey of redemption.Performed in Mandarin to sell-out crowds in London‟s Theatre Royal last week, the show is a stage adaptation of the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West.“An unclassifiable extravaganza” was how The Guardian described the show, while another reviewer said it was a performance that “left no genre untouched and whose scale of ambition could only be marveled at.”Indeed, for director Chen Shi-zheng, bringing the wildly imaginative Chinese tale to a 21st century western audience was a creative challenge that allowed him and his team to mix together a wide range of influences.The score was composed by British musician Damon Albarn, lead singer of Blur and co-creator of the virtual cartoon band Gorillaz. It is played by an orchestra that uses both western instruments and the traditional Chinese pipa(琵琶), guzheng(古筝)and zhongruan(中软).Another aspect which makes this show stand out is the use of animation, which is projected onto a larg e screen behind the stage. Director Chen said “the integration of animation and sound was really a work of genius.”The Monkey King, as Sun Wukong is known in English, as well as Pigsy, Sandy and a host of other characters and monsters are brought to life by 40 acrobats from the Dalian circus troupe.Even though The Monkey King is less well-known outside North-East Asia, many British people fondly remember a cult 1970s TV series called Monkey.And this isn‟t the last British people will be seeing of The Mon key King this summer.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Listening for DetailsStudents are asked to listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.1) D2) C3) CExercise 2 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).T 1) Journey to the West was written in the 1500s.F 2) There were lots of tickets left unsold for the performances in London.F 3) The show was in English.F 4) The show used only traditional Chinese instruments.T 5) Many people in the UK were already familiar with the character of Sun Wukong.Part III Oral PracticeIn this part, students will have 3 tasks to accomplish.Task 1 Group DiscussionStudents are asked to list all the body gestures that they can think of, and then discuss what each gesture means in a Chinese or foreign context. After the discussion, they can share with the whole class.SampleIn China, when people meet each other, they will shake hands with each other. However, men in Russia, France and Arab countries will kiss each other on the side face when they meet each other.The difference also exists in how to wave their hands. For American people, they will wave each other good bye. But South American will not leave if you wave goodbye to them, because in their culture, waving to other people means to call them to come closer.As for Chinese people, they have a special way to express the meaning of numbers, while there is nothing paralleled in western culture.Task 2 Picture DescriptionStudents are asked to describe the given pictures. The following sample is just for teachers’reference.SampleIn China, the dragon (long) is believed to be a sacred and beneficent animal. It ascends to the sky in the spring, bringing beneficial rains onto the dry earth. It is considered an auspicious creature because it brings forth blessings, festivity, and happiness, benefiting everything on earth. The importance of the dragon to the Chinese people is indisputable.The Chinese dragon also symbolizes power and excellence, valiancy and boldness, heroism and perseverance, nobility and divinity. A dragon overcomes obstacles until success is his. He is energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent and ambitious.However, the dragons in the western culture are viewed as evil and aggressive monsters, which are usually large and ferocious fire-breathing creature in myths, legends, and fairy tales that green scaly skin, a long tail, and wings. It symbolizes destruction and evil in western people‟s mind.Although “long” and “dragon” are both the magical and mystical, mythological animals in Chinese and western culture, the background of history, the development of the society‟s well as the way of thinking, cause the differences between them. When the character “long” appears in the words and expressions, we always refer it to the analogical meanings, which are formed by the profound history of China.Task 3 Information SharingStudents are asked to read the idioms and saying in the Information Box, then work in groups to figure out their Chinese meanings.Try to find more examples and give a report to the whole class.Information BoxMore Idioms and Sayings。
