UNIT 7
Section A
1b Listen and T for true or F for false.
Anna: Mom, can I go to the shopping center
with John? He just got his driver’s license.
Mom: No way! I don’t think sixteen-year-olds
should be allowed to drive. They aren’t serious
enough. I’m worried about your safety.
Anna: But Gaby’s getting her ears pierced at the
shopping center and I want to watch.
Mom: Sixteen-year-olds shouldn’t be allowed to
get their ears pierced either. They’re too
young.
Anna: I agree, but it’s fun to watch. Can I take the
bus then?
Mom: Well, OK.
Anna: Great! I want to buy a new skirt, too.
Mom: What kind of skirt? Maybe I should
go with you.
Anna: Aww, Mom. I’m not a child. I think
teenagers should be allowed to choose their
own clothes.
Mom: Well, I just want to make sure you get
something nice.
2a What does Molly think of Kathy’s
statements? Listen and A for Agree, D
for Disagree or DK for Doesn’t Know.
Kathy: Hi, Molly. Where’s your brother Larry? I
thought he was joining us.
Molly: Hi, Kathy. I’m sorry. Larry can’t join us
after all. He is working late tonight.
Kathy: Oh, Larry’s working late again?
Molly: Yeah, he is.
Kathy: I see…I really don’t think sixteen-year-olds
should be allowed to work at night. Young
people need to sleep.
Molly: Oh, I disagree with you. Teenage boys
never get tired.
Kathy: Well, maybe. But Larry shouldn’t work 听录音，正确的圈T，错误的圈F。
安娜：妈妈，我能和约翰去购物中心吗？他刚刚取得驾照。
妈妈：没门儿!我认为不应该允许16岁的青少年开车。他们不够谨慎。我担心你的安全。
安娜：但是加比正在购物中心打耳洞，我想去看看。 妈妈：16岁的青少年也不应该被允许打耳洞，他们太年轻了。
安娜：我赞同，但观看一下挺有趣的。那么我可以乘公共汽车吗？
妈妈：哦，好的。
安娜：太棒了！我也想买一条新裙子。
妈妈：什么样的裙子？或许我应该和你一起去。
安娜：啊，妈妈，我不是一个孩子了。我认为青少年应该被允许选择他们自己的衣服。
妈妈：嗯，我只是想确保你能买到好的东西。
莫莉认为凯茜的陈述怎么样？听录音，同意圈A，不同意圈D，不知道圈DK。
凯茜：嗨，莫莉，你的弟弟拉里在哪儿？我以为他会加入我们。
莫莉：嗨，凯茜，对不起，拉里终究不能加入我们。他今晚会工作到很晚。
凯茜：哦，拉里又将工作到很晚吗？
莫莉：是的。
凯茜：我明白了……我真的认为不应该允许16岁的青少年在晚上工作。年轻人需要睡眠。
莫莉：哦，我不赞同你的观点，十几岁的男孩子从不感到疲惫。
凯茜：哦，或许吧。但拉里不应该每天晚上都工作。
莫莉：对，他需要时间做作业。
凯茜：并且你知道，莫莉……他真的应该理发了。
莫莉：哦，我不知道。你认为他的头发太长了吗？
凯茜：是的。它看上去不干净。并且我认为他应该停止戴那个愚蠢的耳环。
莫莉：嗯……我不赞同。我有点儿喜欢它。它看起来很酷！
凯茜：你知道另一件让我担心的事情吗？拉里好像没有许多朋友。
莫莉：是的，我知道。我认为他不应该在周末工作。 every night.
Molly: That’s true. He needs time to do homework.
Kathy: And you know, Molly…he should really
cut his hair.
Molly: Oh, I don’t know. Do you think it’s too
long?
Kathy: Yes, I do. It doesn’t look clean. And I think
he should stop wearing that silly earring.
Molly: Hmm…I disagree. I kind of like it. It looks
cool!
Kathy: You know another thing that worries me?
Larry doesn’t seem to have many friends.
Molly: Yeah, I know. I think he shouldn’t work on
weekends.
Kathy: That’s right. He needs to spend time with
friends.
2b Listen again. What are Kathy’s and
Molly’s reasons? Number their reasons in the correct order.
Kathy: Hi, Molly. Where’s your brother Larry? I
thought he was joining us.
Molly: Hi, Kathy. I’m sorry. Larry can’t join us
after all. He is working late tonight.
Kathy: Oh, Larry’s working late again?
