Task 1 what a clumsy man!
Maria:Jack, can you help me move this heavy box?
Jack:No problem, Maria. Here let me lift this end... Oops!
Maria:Ouch! My foot! Come on, can't you be a little more cautious?
Jack:I'm so sorry. It was an accident. No need to be furious!
Maria:You're always so clumsy, Jack. I'm really losing my patience with all the stupid mistakes you make around the office.
Jack:Calm down, Maria; I'll certainly be more careful next time. This was just an accident.
Maria:If you aren't more careful, then next time someone could be badly hurt. Oh, look! The glass in the box is all broken now. Mr. Johnson is going to fly
into a rage.
Jack:Oh no! What can I do to keep him from hitting the roof?
Maria:Well, you can begin by helping me clean up the mess and then honestly tell him about your mistake.
Jack:Maybe if I offer to pay for the damage, he won't be so angry. What do you think?
Maria:That might help solve the problem, though it could be quite expensive to replace it.
Jack:Well, I'm willing to do what it takes to keep Mr. Johnson from exploding.
I need to keep my job!

Task 2 causes of depression
Hello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.
Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.
Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.
Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.
Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.
Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.
It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.

Task 3 happiness index
Australians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducted
door-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30
countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was the
USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.
The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.
The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.
The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.

根据一项由两家市场研究人员进行的调查显示，澳大利亚人是世界上最幸福的人。他们进行
对30个国家的近30000人进行入户调查和访谈。他们询问受访的受访者对生活质量的满足程度如何。四零六的澳大利亚人宣布“非常高兴”，并对他们的未来表示乐观。在“非常快乐”的群体中，在美国（百分之40），埃及（百分之36），印度（百分之34）和英国和加拿大（百分之32）。匈牙利拿到了木勺子，整理了幸福图的底部。三零五的市民表示，他们要么“失望”或“非常不满意”，其次是俄罗斯人在百分之30。
研究表明，金钱和年龄是决定人们幸福的关键因素。虽然这项研究并没有说明钱可以买到幸福，但它确实揭示了一个缺乏金钱和不快乐之间的联系。低收入群体或失业者发现不太幸福的人群。
这项研究还表明，在整体上，我们越老，我们越不高兴。在全球范围内，青少年是最幸福的人。与幸福水平最低年龄为50-59。只有百分之16的人在50岁说他们很快乐。
使我们幸福的因素包括良好的健康，金融安全和幸福的婚姻。诸如汽车、衣服和小玩意儿等物质的舒适度相对较低。

l Let’s Talk
When I first met my parents, I was really shy, and I was, and I was in my foster home and I ran upstairs, shy, and I was in my bedroom crying, and my mum came up and said, "Oh William, are you OK?" and I ignored my mum, 'cause I didn't know her and I was scared. So, then my foster mum came up and I came down and we had some fun time. It was nice when I first arrived. I thought, "Oh goody, two sisters, I can play with them." But now it's just, "Oh no, not them again!" I argue with one of my sisters about her rabbits, 'cause she doesn't let me touch them. Well she does, but...
When I have a bit of a bad time with my sister, I go and speak with my mum and my dad. I feel most comfortable speaking to my dad about all my worries and stuff. I wish I had a brother in this family, but then it's just nice (being...) having two sisters, but I'd rather have a brother anyway. I mix with different people. I'm mostly friends with adults, 'cause I normally see adults more than children for some reason, I don't know why. It was scary going from my primary school to secondary school, but then that's just me growing up, and I've got to take the chances and take, just take what I've learned already and just move on and learn different things.

Task 1: Big John is coming!
A bar owner in the Old West just hired a timid bartender. The owner of the establishment was giving his new employee some instructions on running the place. He told the timid man, "If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, drop everything and run for the hills! He's the biggest, nastiest outlaw who's ever lived!"
A few weeks passed uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand came running through town yelling, "Big John is coming to town! Run for your lives!"
When the bartender left the bar to start running, he was knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall. He was muscular, and was growling as he approached the bar.
He stepped up to the door, ordered the poor bartender inside, and demanded, "I want a beer NOW!"
And with one strike of his heavy fist, he split the bar in half. The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking. He took the beer, bit the top of the bottle off, and downed the beer in one gulp.
As the terrified bartender hid behind the bar, the big man got up to leave. "Do you want another beer?" the bartender asked in a trembling voice.
"Dang it, I don't have time!" the big man yelled. "I got to get out of town! Didn't you hear Big John is coming?"

几星期过去后已无大碍。但有一天下午，当地一个牧童跑着穿过小镇大叫，“大个子约翰进城！为你的生命奔跑吧！”
当酒保离开酒吧开始跑步，他被打倒在地的几个人赶出城。当他正拾起来，他看到一个大男人，几乎七英尺高。他肌肉发达，并在咆哮着他走近酒吧。
他走到门口，点了一个可怜的酒吧侍者，问道：“我要一杯啤酒！”
他用沉重的拳头打了一拳，把那酒吧分成两半。酒吧服务员紧张地递给大男子一杯啤酒，手颤抖。他拿着啤酒瓶，点下顶部，和倒下的啤酒一饮而尽。
当那吓坏了的酒吧的酒吧的一个人躲在吧台后面，大男人起身离开。你要再来一杯啤酒吗？”酒吧侍者用颤抖的声音问道。

Task 2 Reason and emotion
Emotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason, as is suggested by phrases such as "appeal to emotions rather than reason" and "don't let your emotions take over". Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they cannot control themselves. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is the contradiction between emotion and reason.
However, recent empirical studies do not suggest that there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed facts. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called "cold", and others involving the extreme of pure emotion not related to any logical argument, which is called "the heat of passion". The relation between logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, even one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no "pure" decision or thought; that is, no thought is based "purely" on intellectual logic or "purely" on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.
翻译：
情感有时被认为是理性的反面，如“诉诸情感而不是理性”、“不要让你的情绪化”、“不要让你的情绪化”和“不要让你的情绪”。情绪化的反应有时会产生结果或想法，人们可能会后悔或不同意，但在情绪化的状态，他们不能控制自己。因此，人们普遍认为，人类最鲜明的事实之一就是情感与理性的矛盾。
然而，最近的实证研究并不表明，有一个明确的区别的原因和情绪。事实上，愤怒或恐惧通常被认为是对观察到的事实的本能反应。人类的思想对外部世界有许多可能的反应。这些反应可能是一个连续的，其中一些涉及纯粹的智力逻辑，这通常被称为“冷”，和其他涉及极端的纯粹的情绪，不涉及任何逻辑的论点，这就是所谓的“激情的热”。逻辑与情感的关系值得仔细研究。激情，情绪和感觉可以加强一个论点，甚至一个基于理性的观点。这在宗教或意识形态上尤其如此，它经常要求一个或任何一个拒绝或接受。在这样的思维领域中，人们必须采用一种全面的观点，部分支持经验的论证，部分是由感觉和激情所产生的。此外，一些研究人员认为，通常情况下，没有“纯”的决定或想法，也就是说，没有思想
是基于“纯粹”的智力逻辑或“纯粹”的情绪，大多数决定是建立在两者的混合物。

Unit5 Ⅰ.Lead-in 1.People keep pets for a variety of reasons. Some feel lonely and need company. Other people keep pets for security. Still others buy pets just to be in fashion. Finally, some people keep animals at home just out of love or pity. Their hearts are full of love, which pours out naturally for animals as well as humans. 2.Most people prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are. Also, dogs are more intelligent than cats. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. However, I wouldn't go as far as to claim that cats are worthless. Thanks to their soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, they are often ladies' favorites. 3.It's hard to arrive at a conclusion on this question. It is obvious that if a pet like a cat is kept in the apartment without much chance of going out, it looks sad and inactive. Without proper physical exercise and enough exposure to the sun, it tends to become weak. However, they also have their compensation. In a human household pets are normally well fed. I should like to point out that a pet's intelligence is also an important factor. A dog or a cat may be intelligent enough to feel lonely, but I doubt whether less intelligent animals like a tortoise or fish can feel the difference between the human home and the wild or whether they can develop a feeling of loneliness, sadness or homesickness. In any case, a human home can provide them with better living conditions. 4.In my opinion, it is all right for us to eat meat such as pork, beef and chicken. To explain this, let me quote from the movie "The Lion King". The father lion tells his son that it is all right for them to eat the antelope: "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." In the case of dog meat, people's opinions seem to vary. I think with the progress of human civilization and improvement of the living standards, we should discard the habit of eating dogs, since they are so intelligent and so loyal to us.

Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ...

They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation.
