Unit1answersandscripts大学体验英语听说教程4听力原文及答案Scripts for Unit One IdentityListening Task 1The neighborhood children of my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls-and-house indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I’d curl up in a chair reading fairy-tales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures. Sometime around the fourth grade, my “big”(often cri tical, judgmental) Grandma, who’d been visiting us said to me, “What’s wrong with you? Why don’t the other children want to play with you?”I remember being startled and confused by her question. I’d never been particularly interested in playing with the ot her children. It hadn’t, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd or something with me. Nor had it occurred to me that they didn’t “want to play with”me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fourth grade. At the wardrobe, listening to classmates joking, chattering and laughing with each other, I realized I hadn’t a clue about what was so funny or of how to participate in their easy chatter. They seemed to live in a universe about which I knew nothing at all. I tried to act like others but it was so difficult. I felt confused and disoriented. I turned back to my inner world: reading books, writing and daydreaming. My inwardness grew me in ways that continued to move me further away from the world of my age peers. The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too.Listening Task 2The greatest difficulty for me is that as a person of mixed origin I am at home neither here nor there. Wherever I am, I am regarded as being foreign, e ither “white”or “black”. It happens to me when I live in my mother’s country of origin, in Switzerland, and it happened to me when I was living in my father’s country, Ivory Coast. I would feel at home where I could feel that people accept me just the way I am! When you are a small child you first do not feel that you are different from the others. But soon the others will make you feel different –and children too can be very cruel in their behavior against the “strange child”. Sometimes incredible incident s happen. Some time ago I was riding my bike somewhere in a little place in Switzerland nearby to where I live. A car drove by, and the male driver opened the window and yelled at me: “Scheiss –Neger –dirty nigger!”I almost froze. I felt helpless and unabl e to defend myself. When I looked at the number plate, I saw that it was a German number plate. This means that the insulting person himself was a foreigner in this country! How could he dare insult me like this? I felt that I wanted to kill this man. When I recovered I was able to think about it more clearly. These racist people are just stupid and do not know anything about life.Real World ListeningAnswers1.because he was charged with bank fraud.2.The man paid the money and all the charges were dismissed.3.He spent several days in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Apperently the police knew that he was not the person who committed the bank fraud.4.Their credit may be ruined so that they can’t get loansand it may take them years to settle the damage.5.The person who stole the man’s identity was caught and put in jail for identity fraud.Script--- Your story of identity theft is quite scary. What happened?--- one day early in the morning, I was awakened by a loud knock. When I opened the door, five policemen were standing there telling me to go to jail. I asked why and they said that I was wanted for bank fraud. I said “I never did that”and they said”that’s something we’ve never heard before...tell it to the judge.”--- Did you really have to spend time in jail?--- yes, I certainly did.--- how could you prove that it wasn’t you who committed the crime.--- Frankly, I never did. I simply paid the amount owed and and all the charges were dismissed. It was really a debt to a casino and, although it is a felony, all they wanted was their money.--- whew! For me,perhaps the most alarming aspect of your story is that you had to spend several days in jail- in spite of the fact that they knew the person who committed the fraud was of a different race than you. That is truly scary.--- yes, people suffer because others steal their identity to work illegally.Someone used another’s identity for years and ruined their credit. When their kids want to get their first cars or student loans it takes them years to settle the damage.--- did they catch the person who used you identity to commit the crimes?--- yes. He was put in jail for identity fraud.。

And we went down these little streets… and back…and it was getting dark… back alleys, and I didn’t know what was going on. People were starting to stare at me. And I got really scared.

UNIT1Home ListeningWhere have all the GentlemenGone?What factors have contributed to the demise of chivalry？Men tend to blame the decline on women’s tolerance of men’s trifling behavior. Females, on the other hand, blame the death of chivalry on the egocentric nature and 1)laziness of men. Our society has become increasingly 2) self-centered so people no longer abide by old school home training of manners and politeness.Both genders are correct, but whose actions started the 3) snowball effect? It is the classic chicken or the egg argument.Perhaps with the Women’s Rights Movement, women opened the door for men to become lazy with their courteousness. Maybe women started acting more independent so men figured, “Why bother?”Or, perhaps society in general is in a state of moral 4) bankruptcy. Marriages are dissolving at an all time high, people are no longer valuing monogamy. As trust in men 5) diminishes, women’s attitudes toward men shift and the way we 6) interact with them has changed—and not for the positive.Or, perhaps men are not settling down as often or as quickly, so there is a sense of desperation among the female race. Desperation leads to feeling the need to settle or 7) compete for men. Likewise, women have become more tolerant and/or numb to the waywardness of men.So, which is it? The chicken or the egg? Did men’s behaviors and attitudes shift first or did women’s? We may never 8) figure the answer out.However, I think that 9) chivalry is about RESPECT. Chivalry and respect go hand in hand. Respect and character go hand in hand. And, 10) character and morality go hand in hand. If we can work on our morals we will work on our level of respect for each other. It just starts with everyone as individuals.

4. 全选5. 全选6.第二个7. c d a b e8.You can h ardly blame my parents, for being so disapproving of my teen age boyfriends.During my adolescent years, I was strangely attracted to losers and oddballs. My parents couldn't believe th e bizarre specimens of boyhoodth at I regularly dragged home. One of my first was with greasy-hai red David, whose drug problem did not go down too well with my family m embers. So why did David seem so attractive to me? Simple, my parents str ongly disapproved of him. There is nothing new, of course, in parental disap proval of teenage love interests. Nor is there anything new in teenagers falli ng in love with the biggest losers around. Adolescent girls with eccentric boy friends are essentially screaming out to their parents, you can't accept that I' m old enough to make my own decisions, I'll just have to prove it to you i n a way that you are sure to So why do parents fail to realize that the more they oppose unsuitable boyfriends,the more their daughters will pic k them out? After all, did my mother really think that in my heart of hearts I truly fancied the losers? Had she simply smiled and said sweetly, a darling boy. Let's invite him round for Sunday would have been giv en the boot in no time. It is bad enough bringing home a complete loser, b ut when you date someone twice your age it is guaranteed to push family r elations to the limit.The parents of Mary Russell encountered this when their 16-year-old daughter entered into a relationship with her 32-year-old teache r. were a lot of arguments between her and me and her dad about it not being said Mrs. Russell. Surprisingly, despite all the fights, Mary 's parents failed to dissuade their daughter from dating her older teacher an d, following a bitter court case, the lovesick couple are now back in each ot her's arms. In my case, my parents wisely switched to a more wily way of a ttempting to get rid of boyfriends whom they felt were inappropriate. Indeed, by the time I'd reached 17 and had my first serious boyfriend, there were no more arguments. Nor were there any obvious signs of dislike. They tried an approach that they thought would be far more effective than verbal cond emnation － they invited him to a boring family get-together. Now I realizemy mother's initial disapproval of my teenage romances is a universal feeling. Parents want children to fulfill their own dreams.Their hopes were fairly n ormal:they wanted to witness my wedding vows; they wanted to see their daughter settled down in a well-established family; they wanted me to get married and have kids.10.Eric,I hope I meet the woman of my dreams sooner rather than later. Iwant to settle down and have a family before I am thirty. Well,I’ve always thought that you and Rachel would make a wonderful couple!Rachel? She'd never go for me. I wouldn’t be so sure. You should see the way she looks at you… What year were you born in? What year was I born in? What’s that got to do with anything? Lots.The year you were born says a great deal aboutyour personality and who you would be compatible with as a mate. You’re kidding, right? No.Iam perfectly serious. I was born in 1985. That’s the year ofthe ox. That makes sense, because you’re down to earth, caring and loyal, justlike ox people. Are you aware that Rachel was born in 1987? Y es, I am, but what’s your point? That’s the year of the rabbit. Rabbit people are usually sweet natured, sociable and romantic. Just like Rachel…You know, it is said that anideal match for a rabbit is an ox…12.A:Lisa, you’re such an extroverted person, while I am much more introverted. You’re outgoing, whereas I am soft spoken. You’re very social, while I am very reserved. What do you think it is that makes our personalities so different? After all, we’re sisters! B:I think it all has to do with the nature versus nurture debate?A:Nature versus nurture? B:Yes, some scientists think that people are born with their personalities. That’s the “nature” theory of human behavior. Other scientists claimthat the environment people grow up in shapes their personalities.That’s the “nurture”theory of human behavior. A:Hm. Interesting. I tend to think that the environment determines a person’s character. I guess that means I subscribe to he“nurture”theory. B:Me too. I suppose that’s why we are so different. We went to different schools, you played sports while I studied music, and we hung out with different types of friends.A:Nonetheless, I do think nature plays a role in shaping personality too. After all, we’re both intelligent, talented in what we do and very caring towards others. These are probably all traits that we inherited. A:Maybe. I am no expert. The important thing to me is thatwe get along so well, enjoy being together and love each other. B:You’re right. I couldn’t ask for a better sister!UNIT 21. 2.3.4. drug5.6.第三个和第三个7.In Rome, you can read your email while your dirty clothes wash, soak and dry in machines beside you. In Helsinki, you can surf the Web while still sweating from a simmer in a nearby sauna. Some people travel to sample the finest of foreign cuisines. Some seek sublime art to appreciate or sacred architecture to celebrate.as an international connoisseur of Internet cafe. In my past five months overseas，I've surfed the information superhighway in Swaziland, driven the data expressway in Estonia and cruised the communication causeway in Croatia. And I can say this: Gone are the days when postcards were the preferred method of making those at home envious of your adventures abroad. Set foot on the road to faraway places and you'll soon find that cyber cafés are an inescapable part of the contemporary travel experience. Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro, Mass. Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro, Massachusetts. I found this 23-year-old parked in front of a flat-screen monitor at Big Net café － the biggest Internet café in Vienna － exchanging love notes with her boyfriend back home. Michelle has been on vacation 10 days and has emailed him every one of them. Think of myself:My (much) better half is traveling with me and still of the 35 cities we've visited thus far, I've used cyber cafés in precisely 71.4 percent of them. When I left the US, I vowed I wouldn't eat at a single McDonald's no matterhow cheap and soothingly familiar the food might be. I've stayed trueto that promise. But I admit when I slip into an Internet café, I feel just a wee bit like I'm taking a bite of a Big Mac. I comfort myself, however, with the discovery that no two cyber cafés are alike. It's hard to know where to begin in Prague, a city suffering a particularly virulent strain of cyber café-itis. At The Globe you can surf the Net while listening to a jazz trio. At Bohemian Bagel you can order up the namesake roll and a cup of joe along with a side of cyber crack. And atpictures of dragons and spaceships and robots, oh my. Some people predict that cyber cafés, like postcards, will soon find themselves a relic as mobile phones with high-speed Internet access replace themas the new traveler's darling. That means no matter where we are we'll always have the World Wide Web in our pocket. And no matterwhere we are, we'll never be more than a button press (or two) fromthe comforts of home.9.A:This is Tina Lin from HTN news, and we are with Rachel Wu today, a student of Feminist Studies. Rachel, would you say that there is true equality in our society between men and women?B:That’s a good question. On th e whole, in most areas, I believe we can speak about real equality between men and women, and that is a veryclear sign of social progress. However, the wage gap is still a significant problem: women still earn a lot less money than men who have the same jobsA:Can you give us a specific example of discriminatory wage practices based on sex?B:Most certainly. Research shows that male health professionals, such as doctors and administrators, earn twice as much as female workers doing the same jobs full-time.A:Twice as much! That must be an extreme case.B:Yes, on average, the pay gap is just under 10%. An example of such a gap would be hotel management. Male hotel managers generally earn 9.8% more than their female counterparts.A:I s there any reason to believe things will improve?B:Yes, there is. In fact, the situation is getting better as we speak. 10 years ago, the pay gap was 16.2%. So in the last decade, there has beenan improvement of over 6% -- this shows that our society is headed in the right direction.A:Rachel, thank you for speaking with us today.B:You’re very welcome.11.A:I am reading a compelling book right now. It’s called Fire withFire.B:Who’s the author?A:Naomi Wolf.B：Never heard of her.A:She is a feminist writer. Female empowerment is one of the major themes of the book.B:Really? In what way?A:She wants all women to have a voice that is heard. Like most feminists, she believes in gender equality and equal opportunities for women.B:How about you: are you a feminist?A:I am in the sense that I support the idea of men and women having equal rights. I am also sensitive to how language sometimes discriminates against women.B:Language discriminates?A:Yes, you know, people often use terms like: “businessman”, “policeman” or “salesman”.B:What’s wrong with that?A:I t suggests that women can’t do these jobs. Non-discriminatory language would be terms like: “businessperson”, “police officer” or “sales representative”.B:Yes, I see. That language is much more gender neutral.UNIT 31.2.3. b c b a、b、c4. househusbbands5. 第二个和第四个6. b、d、e a、c、d7.am a wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Nottoo long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had a child, who is, of course,with his ex-wife.

At that time, it was believed that if a mother with the RH negative blood factor delivered a dead first baby, it was considered a 100% certainty that the second baby would also die. This was the mother's second baby and the first one had died. Death was expected soon. This was a case where such babies were set aside to die. And so had this one. The doctor had not ordered a feeding tube inserted so I asked for permission to feed the baby by dropper because it was tooweak to suck. He said that he didn't think it would be of any value, but that I could if I wanted to. I and the rest of the staff worked very hard day and night to get some nourishment in the baby. The baby survived! Day after day the baby continued to survive. Then I started asking the doctor to let us transfer the baby to a larger hospital in Rockford, Illinois. That hospital had more equipment and pediatricians. Finally, the doctor consented and we prepared to transfer the baby to Rockford. When a transfer was being made from our hospital to the Rockford Hospital, the patient was always accompanied by a nurse. Since I was so involved with the baby, I was asked to be its nurse on this transfer. This would be my first trip in an ambulance. The other nurses had told me many stories about the ambulance rides. They described it as a wild, wild ride. I was not looking forward to the trip, but since I knew the baby's condition well, I knew I was the best choice. So, I went. The siren s tarted wailing as soon as we left the hospital's driveway. On and on the cars in our path quickly pulled over to the side. This ride was so dangerous that I started worrying about my own survival as much as the baby's. I broke out in a sweat. It was only after we arrived at the Rockford Hospital that the driver discovered that he had left the heat on! I could have done without that. The baby was settled in at the hospital, and each day our reports were that the baby continued to thrive. Some time later we received word that the baby was dismissed from the hospital. And the mothertook home a live baby! I consider this case one of the highlights of mynursing career. I learned one very important thing: Never give up hope even when the odds are overwhelmingly against you because no onehas the wisdom to know how a patient will respond.10.A:Julie’s asked me to go to her wedding – I am so excited!B:Julie is getting married –that’s great news! Please congratulate her on my behalf. What will you wear?A:No idea: I can’t fit in to any of my fancy clothes. I need to lose weight immediately. Anysuggestions?B:The recipe for weight loss is simple: exercise and a healthy diet.A:But I can’t stand exercise! Whenever I go jogging I get bored after 5 minutes.B:Well, try to do fun things. There are many other ways to burn off fat. Get involved in team sports, like volleyball, or group exercise, like aerobics or even something like yoga.A:I suppose I could try.B:I guess it depends on how much you want to fit into a nice dress!A:Alright. I’ll do some exercise, but a diet, no way! I need my chocolate. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate brownies–it’s all so scrumptious!

It’s normally a 40-minute session.A:You must work up quite an appetite!:I certainly do. Then, on my way home from work, I stop by the pool and go for a 1000-meter swim.

For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re consta ntly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or imagined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight -or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.Benjamin Franklin (1706 — 1790): One of the Founding Fathersof the United States. As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leadingauthor and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician,scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major role in the American Revolution and negotiated French support for the colonists; as The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an ar gument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response may be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including: Pain of any kindHeart diseaseDigestive problemsSleep problemsDepressionObesityAutoimmune diseasesSkin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

You are expected to do it after class and check the answers on your own.It’s common sense that if you are extremely unhappy in your job, and you come home and dump on your spouse about it every day, it could start to wear on the relationship.So is the opposite true, then? 1) If you’re happy in your job,can your marriage actually improve? According to long-term research conducted by The Love Doctor Terri Orbuch, the answer is “yes”.Orbuch, who is author of “5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great,” has been following and observing hundreds of married couples for nearly a quarter century in order to find out what makes marriages happy, strong and long lasting. She has found that there is a definite positive spillover 2) from work to marriage.Here are her four suggestions on putting this into practice:Suggestion 1: 3) Seek support and help from your spouse. If you’re having a problem at work, solicit advice from your spouse. Research shows that the need for assistance is one of the three basic needs of all people in relationships (intimacy and reassurance of one’s value are the other two). Seeking solutions to work-related problems together strengthens the ma rital bond and feeling that “we’re in this together.” Moreover, because your spouse knows yo u so well, he or she is likely to come up with valuable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” in your job. A recent large-scale study in Harvard Business Review found that the No. 1 factor5)that keeps employees happy and motivated in their jobs is “making progress.” Workers who are fulfilled and stimulated during the workday tend to be happier individuals, and much of that happiness gets transferred to their spouse at the end of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practice behaviors that relieve stress.Numerous studies have documented a link between workplace stress and poor health. The two most common workplace stressors are 7) feeling as if you haven’t been heard or supported, and 8) negative interpersonal work relationships. Find ways to express your needs, ask for assistance and manage conflicts at your job. Good health is sexy and attractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share your work life. Orbuch’s study found that the happiest marriages are ones in which partners feel their spouse regularly discloses information about his or her life, even details from work that might be deemed “boring.” The bonus: 10) Work life becomes interwoven with home life, promoting a satisfying feeling of work-life balance, which makes you happier overall.

Men were strong, women were weak; men were the breadwinners, women were the homem akers; men wererational, women were emotional. In accordance with these beliefs, the men filled the leadership positions in society, as well as the majority of positions that required courage, clear-thinking and intellect. Women took on the nurturing, caring or supportive jobs such as nurse, teacher, assistant. However, modern society has greatly challenged these perceived differences between men and women.These days gender roles are becoming less clear. Women are moving into themale-dominated occupations and proving that they can be equally successful in these fields. Moreover, some men are taking on the homemaker role and finding that it suits them. In som e cultures, for example the Naxi culture of southwestern China, the women have always been the head of the household and responsible for both work and finance.So, are men and wom en really all that different? From the changing perspectives towards this question, it would seem that socialization plays a large role in de fining masculinity and femininity in any given time period and in any given culture. In other words, perhaps men and women are not that different after all.2.Culture plays an important role in business.Culture plays an important role in business. In different cultures there are different ideas about when meetings should be scheduled, how much notice should be given, Where people should be seated and how the negotiations should be proceed. During the negotiations there are also vast cultural differences in what is considered appropriate language, communication style and body language. For example, some culture value eye contact, others do not. Some cultures use 'yes' as an acknowledgement of what the person has said, other use 'yes' only for agreement.Social conventions of greeting, dressing, eating and entertaining also vary considerably amongst cultures and these are important to learn since a lot of business takes place while having dinner or enjoying drinks together.If a businessman attempts a cross-cultural business partnership without an adequate awareness of his associate's culture, he is likely to encounter misunderstanding and may even cause offence. This will damage and may even end the business relationship. Therefore, cultural differences must be carefully handled when doing business with people from different countries.3.Fighting against PiracyNowadays the problem of piracy has become increasingly serious. Not only is there a serious lack of knowledge am ongst the general public about piracy issues, but there is also an attitude of indifference.These days piracy is strongly evident in the commercial world in the wide availability of illegal VCDs and DVDs , the inclusion of Copyrighted pictures, web graphics, video clips and magazine portions in business presentations and the photocopying of books and articles for distribution without the author's permission.The negative consequences of piracy are two-fold. Firstly, the Copyright owners are likely to suffer significant financial losses. Secondly, the Copyright owner loses recognition, if the source of the material is unacknowledged.Therefore it is important for all citizens to become educated about piracy issues, to follow copyright laws in their own lives, and to encourage their colleagues and friends to do the same.4.The Importance of Learning Spoken EnglishIn today's modern world, learning spoken English has many advantages. English is fast becoming the international language of many fields, including politics, business and education. Not only is English used between native speakers and non-native speakers, but it is also used increasingly as a common language in interactions between non-native speakers. Having a good grasp of spoken English helps you to improve your chances of employment. These days, there are many foreign companies operating from China, and manyChinese-owned companies have trade links with foreign partners. These companies require speakers of English with sufficient language skills to ensure smooth business transa ctions. Spoken English also provides the chances for you to communicate socially with people from many other countries. It gives you a window into other cultures, and other perspectives of the world. It also gives you access to foreign films, TV programs, music and news. Therefore, spoken English is an important and fundamental tool in today's global village.5.Business EthicsCreating and sustaining an ethical corporation isn't as difficult as you might think; it's actually easier than some of the day-to-day business challenges you face. The keys to running an ethical company are accountability, honesty, and information transparency.Corporations aren't ethical or evil in and of themselves--but people can be. So ethics must focus on you and the people you work with. Most people want to do the right thing, but organizational structure does not guarantee they will do the right thing, without meaning to or even knowing it. Structuring an ethical corporation makes the goal easier to achieve.The challenge could not be more urgent. A substantial majority of people in China are dissatisfied with the social behavior of our corporations, say several recent news reports. Poor treatment of workers at home and abroad, products that don't perform as advertised, fake commodities, poor customer service, environm ental pollution, to mention a few.Responsible behavior is important to your business success, but let's not forget that you're in business--you're not out to solve the world's problems. So how do you balance the two? What does it mean to be ethical in business?It simply requires that you follow your best moral instincts, even in areas that don't appear to involve moral issues, such as cost-benefit analyses. But while good ethics often equates to good business, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes being truly ethical means giving up something you want in exchange for doing the right thing. That's why we worry about ethics in the first place--if it didn't cost us anything, everyone would be ethical all the time.6.SPORTS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH.Sports do much good to our health. Especially they can be of great value to our psychological health. People who are involved in athletics feel more self-sufficient and confident in their abilities. They feel they are in control of their own actions. Sports offer people an opportunity to experience themselves as more competent, more self-reliant and more able to achieve their goals. Sports demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually team work. For people, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will find it natural to work for the good o f his country instead of only for his own benefit.原文已完。

Unit 1 IdentityMelanie:Your story of identity theft is quite scary. What happened?Nick:One day early in the morning, I was awakened by a Loud knock . When I opened the door,Five olicemen were standing there telling me to go to jail . I asked why and they said that I was wanted for bank fraud. I said I never did that! ” and they said “that’s something we’ve never heard before”tell it to the judge” Melanie: Did you really have to spend time in jail?Nick :Yes, I certainly did. Melanie:How could you prove it wasn ’t you who committed the crime?Nick :Frankly, I never did. I simply paid the amount owed and all the charges were dismissed. It was really a debt to a casino and, although it was a felony, all they wanted was their money.Melanie: Whew! For me, perhaps the most alarming aspect of your story is that you had to spend several days in jail—in spite of the fact that they knew that the person who committed the fraud was of a different race than you. That is truly scary.Nick : Yes. People suffer because others steal their identities to work illegally. Someone used another ’s identity for years and ruined their credit When their kids want to get their first cars or student loans it takes them years to settle the damage.Melanie: Did they catch the person who used your identity to commit the crimes?Nick : Yes. He was put in jail for identity fraud.Unit 2 Personality Real World ListeningMr. Washington: George, are you sure you had nothing to do with chopping down the cherry tree?Geor ge : I don’t clearly recall chopping this tree down.Mr. Washington: Isn ’ t this your axe?George : That appears to be very similar to my axe.Mr. Washington: But your axe is right here, and the tree is freshly cut, and you are the only person around.Mrs. Washington: Oh, just drop it, and it ’s only a tree.Mr. Washington: But it’s not just the tree. We really need to find out if he’s being honest with us. I won’t put up with lying, and he shouldn’t get you to cover up for him.George : I’m going to say this one more time: I didn’t chop down that tree—the cherry tree—and I did not ask anyone to lie. Not one time. Never!Mr. Washington: George, there’s no fresh-cutFirewood around, but your hair and clothing are full of wood chips,and the chips look like cherry wood to me. How do you explain that?George : Clearly my behavior has been inappropriate. I deeply regret the damage which seems to have been done to the tree. But I really need to get back to my chores now.Mr. Washington: We’re not finished yet. Now I’m going to ask you directly. Did you chop down the cherry tree?George : Well, it’s possible that I might have swung the axe in an inappropriate Manner which might have resulted in some harm to the tree, but at the moment you asked me, I was thinking of wh at“chop”means and my action didn’t meet my definition of “chopping”, so I didn’t lie.Mrs. Washington: This is not really worth all the fuss. Even if he did it, it’s only a tree. Let’s forget itand enjoy this lovely afternoon.George : Thank you, Mom. We have aStateloak tree on the front lawn. Can I try my axe again there?Unit 3 LifestyleReal World Listening。
大学体验英语综合教程4（第二版）Unit_1---Unit7课后答案Unit 1无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。
