They check everyone’s baggage,don’t they? Paul:Yes,but here’s what’s funny:The smaller the airport,the greater the security.The less likely a plane is to be hijacked,the more precautions they take.Sylvia:Are you serious? Why should a small airport be more aware of security than a large one?Paul:Here’s what I’ve experienced:Once at a small airport,they seized a roll of adhesive tape and argued that it could be used in hijacking.Then they asked me to remove my digital camera from its case and demonstrate that it could take pictures.Sylvia:And is this different from a large airport?Paul:According to my experience,it is.When I flew from Vancouver to Paris,they simply ran my bags through the scanner, and 1 was on my waySylvia:If that’s the case,the baggage checking system is really strange.Paul finds the airport security checks sometimes very strange.In an international flight he did expect to have his luggage searched.Sylvia agrees, knowing that with a11the fear that’s out there about terrorism,they will check passengers’ baggage—especially their carry-ons.In fact, Paul does not mind them checking his baggage but there seems to be an inverse ratio—at work:The smaller the airport, the greater the security. The less likely a plane is to be hijacked, the more precautions they take.Paul further says that once at a small airport, they seized a roll of adhesive tape to prevent hijacking.They also asked him to remove his digital camera from its case and demonstrate that it could take pictures.On the other hand,a large airport is different.When Paul—flew from Vancouver to Paris,they simply ran his bags through the scanner, and he was on his way. Finally, Sylvia admits that the baggage checking system is strangeTask 2: jet lagJet 1ag is the feeling of tiredness that comes after crossing time zones in an airplane.People get jet lag often,especially if they travel far.For example,a flight from New York to Beijing is a tong trip.Passengers will cross many time zones and may have a bad case of jet lag.However, there are some things that can help reduce jet lag.First.drink a lot of liquids.Water is the best liquid to drink.Also,eat low —fat foods during the flight.Noodles are always a good choice.Next,try to do some exercise on the plane.Walk around or stretch your muscles.Also,try to adjust your schedule to correspond with the local time as soon as you can.For instance, if you usually go to sleep at 10 p.m., then when the local time is 10 p.m.,go to bed.Finally,when you arrive at your destination.get some exercise.Ask the front desk clerk where the hotel’s gym is.Remember that if you adjust your schedule to correspond with the local time,your jet lag will not be too bad. In general, your bodytakes only a few days to reset its biological clock,and you’ll soon overcome jet lag.1.T 2.F 3.F 4.F 5.TTask 3: $10 is $10One day,an old man named Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the Illinois State Aviation Fair A man was selling plane tides for$10 per person.Stumpy was fascinated and said to,Martha,“I think we really should try that.”Martha replied,“I know you want to,Stumpy,but we have a lot of bills.You know the money is tight,and$10 is$10.” So Stumpy went without.Over the next few years they returned every year to the fair, and the same thing happened:Stumpy wanted a ride,but Martha said they couldn’t afford it.Finally,when Stumpy and Martha were both about 70 years old,Stumpy fixed his eyes on Martha and said,“Martha,I’m 70 now,and I don’t know if I’11 ever get the chance again,SO I just have to have a ride in that airplane.’’Martha replied in the same old fashion,and Stumpy became depressed.The pilot standing nearby overheard the conversation and he cut in,“Excuse me folks,I have a deal for you.I’11 take both of you up together,and if you can both make the entire trip without uttering a word.I’11 give you the ride for free.But if either of you makes a sound,it’s $1 0 each.”Martha and Stumpy looked at each other and agreed.The pilot took them up,and started to climb,spin,dive,climb and spin again.There was no sound.After the pilot landed the plane,he praised the old man,“1 want to congratulate you for not making a sound.You are a brave man.“Maybe SO,”said Stumpy,“but I got to tell you,I almost screamed when my wife fell out,but$10 is$101.

ScriptNora: Hey John.John:heyNora: I took a course on how the airport runs, and I don't suffer from fear of flyingany more. Last week I flew nonstop to San Francisco.John: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?Nora: United Airlines, Flight UA858.John: How did it go? Everything smooth sailing?Nora: Not everything. Since I hadn't traveled by air for a long time, I wasn't familiar with the airport. It took me quite a while to find the United Airlines check-in counter. John: Then how did you find it?Nora: In fact, it was displayed on the monitor: "Flight UA858 c~/Counter 45." John: And was everything OK once you found it?Nora: No, there was a terrible line-up. I had to wait there for an hour.John: I see. You must have been burned out waiting before you even boarded the plane.Nora: That still wasn't the end of my troubles. When I finally got to the counter and handed in my passport and ticket, the airline agent looked at my passport and at me again and again.John: Why? Did she think your passport was a fake?Nora: I don't know. I just told her my photo did not flatter me at all.John: Your photo certainly doesn't do justice to your beauty.Nora: She didn't say anything like that. Fortunately, when I asked for an aisle seat, she said she had one. You know, I wouldn't dare take a window seat and look out the window.John: I prefer an aisle seat, too. Then I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up in the aisle.Nora: Finally she gave me a boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 33 in just minutes. So I had to run!John: That's bad luck. But you made it! Good for you.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, good to see you back. How was your trip? Everything smooth sailing?B: Not bad, though I had a little trouble before boarding.A: What was wrong?B: I was caught in a traffic jam and almost missed the flight.

Which flight did you take?B: British Airways, Flight BA 554.A: Was it easy for you to find the right counter?B: Yes, the information was displayed on the monitor.A: Since there was not much time left for you, I hope there wasn't a terrible line-up at the counter.B: Luckily, no. The queue was quite short. But I had another problem.A: What was that?B: When I handed in my passport, the airline agent looked at it for a long time.A: Why? Did the agent think your passport was a fake?B: No, she didn't, but she told me that my passport was going to expire in a week. So you see, I had to fly back quickly.A: I hope that was the end of your troubles.B: Not completely. I still had trouble with my baggage.A: What was the problem?B: It was overweight. It took me a while to go through the procedure.A: Any good news before you boarded the plane?B: Yes, when I asked for a window seat, I got one. You know, I wouldn't like to take an aisle or middle seat where I couldn't enjoy the view.A: I prefer an aisle seat, though. So that I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up.B: Finally the agent gave me the boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 24 in just minutes. So I had to run!A: But you made it! Good for youMODEL 3 I've got jet lag.ScriptSusan: Wow! What happened? You look like something the cat dragged in.John: You would too if you’d been through what I have. I've got jet lag.Susan: Jet lag's not for real, is it? It's like a "broken heart"-a figure of speechJohn: It’s for real. See my eyes? They’re all bloodshot. I can’t eat; I can’t sleep. Susan: How long does this jet lag last after you’re home again and walking round? John: I don’t know exactly. It can be a day for each hour’s difference in time. Susan: Ouch! At that rate it’ll take you twelve days to recover from the flight. John: Maybe a drink on the plane can ease your jet lag.Susan: That's not a very good idea. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin.John: I wonder whether a long flight like that is worth the high cost.Susan: Take my advice. Go by boat. Arrive rested and ready to enjoy your holiday. John: No, it'll take too long-longer than the time for me to reset my biological clock after a flight.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Wow! What's wrong with you? You look dead tired ~B: You would too if you'd been through what I have. I've got jet lag. See my eyes: they're bloodshot. I can't eat; I can't sleep.A: How long will this jet lag last?B: I don't know exactly. It can be a day for each hour's difference in time.A: Ouch! At that rate it'll take you twelve days to recover. Maybe a drink on the plane can save you from jet lag.B: That's not a good solution, I'm afraid. Alcohol dries you out when it's combined with altitude and stale dry air in the cabin. But if you drink a lot of water, it helps. A: let's check on the Internet to see how we can overcome jet lag quickly.B: Look, here's an article. So you need to get some exercise. You can go to the gym to work out.A: You should try to match your schedule with the local time. When it's time to go to bed but you don't feel sleepy, you might as well take sleeping pills.B: When you feel sleepy in broad daylight, you can drink strong coffee to stay awake. A: In this way you can reset your biological clock quickly.V. Let' TalkScriptBefore I conclude my talk, I'd like to summarize what we have covered.Air travel has its inherent advantages. Airplanes fly fast, and they are now flying faster than before. Now supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just a couple of hours. It is reported that new models are being designed. In the future they may carry people from New York to London in less than an hour.In the past not many people traveled by air because of the high fares. Now owing to the market competition, the fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air. In the 1990s, the United States witnessed an explosive growth in demand for air travel. Many millions who had never, or rarely flown before, became regular passengers. They even joined frequent flyer loyalty programs, receiving free flights and other such benefits.Flying has become increasing convenient. The introduction of new services and more frequent flights has meant that business flyers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day. This applies to almost any two points in the country.Some passengers worry about safety in flying. In a crash there are usually no survivors. However, to prevent tragic accidents and serious financial loss, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility of accidents to the minimum. It is sometimes claimed that flying involves fewer accidents than any other modes of travel.Airplanes do have their disadvantages. For example, they are incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Also, an airport can be quite far away from the city center. But the advantages of flying outweigh these small drawbacks, and flying remains an efficient kind of transportation.That's the end of my lecture. Now may I take your questions if you have any?Pros and Cons of FlyingPro 1An airplane flies fast(1) Supersonic passenger planes can fly across the Atlantic Ocean in just acouple of hours;(2) In future they may carry people from Now York to London in less than anhour.Pro 2 The fare has dropped a great deal, so more people are traveling by air: Many millions became regular passengers, and even joined frequent flyer loyaltyprograms.Pro 3Flying has become increasingly convenient: Business fliers can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day.Pro 4Airlines are cautious about checking the conditions of aircraft to reduce the possibility ofaccidents to the minimumCon 1The plane is incapable of transporting large quantities of cargo.Con 2An airport can be quite far away from the city center.DissussionSAMPLEA: I like flying better than any other way of traveling. It's so fast and convenient that you can fly to another city, do business, and return on the same day, between almost any points in the country.B: But land transport is not slow, thanks to superhighways. What's more, it's often cheaper.A: I'll admit air fare is a bit high, but it's dropped a lot. The high speed and great convenience are worth the money.B: Land transport is often safer. In case of accidents like a fire, you can jump out of the car. Can you jump our of a plane?A: It's true that in a crash there are often no survivors. However, airlines are especially cautious in checking the conditions of aircraft. It's sometimes believed that flying involves fewer accidents than other kinds of travel.B: The problem with a plane is that it can't transport large quantities of cargo.A: I agree, but certainly a plane can carry perishable goods like fresh vegetables to a distant city quickly and safely.B: But an airport is often quite far away from the city center. So that will add to your traveling time. You can’t fly directly to your final destination.A: You have a point there. I know trucks can provide door-to-door delivery service, but buses and trains can't.B: OK, let's come to this conclusion: each type of transport has its own advantages and disadvantages.A: Yes, that's why none of them has been phased out.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1:An Overview of AirlinesScriptAn airline is an organization which provides aviation services for passengers and cargo. It owns or leases airliners to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for reasons of mutual benefits.The scale and scope of airline companies range from those with a single airplane carrying mail or cargo, to full-service international airlines operating many hundreds of airplanes of various types. Airline services can be categorized as intercontinental, intra-continental, regional or domestic and may be operated as scheduled services or charters. These variations in the types of airline companies, their operating scope, and the routes they serve, make analysis of the airline industry complex. But one thing is certain: The industry is heavily influenced by the market now. In the past 50 years or so, the general trend of ownership has gone from government-owned or government-supported to independent, for-profit companies. This is a result of the government permit greater freedom. This trend is not yet consistent across all airlines in all regions. The demand for air travel services depends on other things: needs for cargo transportation, business passenger demand, leisure passenger demand, which are all influenced by macroeconomic activity in the market. These trends are highly seasonal, and often depend on day-of-week, or time-of-day. The industry is cyclical. Four or five years of poor performance are followed by five or six years of gradual improvement in performance.1.D 2 C 3.D 4.A 5.BTask2:Results of Damage TestingScript:Birds often cause accidents when they strike aircraft. To date no reliable method of avoiding birds has been discovered. But scientists at the NASA space center have developed a gun built to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at their top speed. The idea is to reproduce the frequent incidents of collisions with birds to test the strength of the windshields. Trains sometimes encounter similar problems with birds. It was not surprising that when British engineers heard about the gun, they were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains.Arrangements were made to borrow the gun. It was flown across the Atlantic and set up with great care near London. But when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken flew into the shield, smashed it, went through the engineer's chair, and landed on the back of the car.Horrified, the British sent NASA the results of the disastrous experiment, along with the designs of the new windshield. They begged the U.S. scientists to send them their suggestions for avoiding smashed windshields. NASA reviewed the test thoroughly and had one recommendation: "Thaw the chicken.”Task3: Funny Flight AnnouncementsScript:Occasionally, airline crews try to make their announcements entertaining. Here are some examples that have been reported. One pilot delivered this welcome message: "We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately none of them are on this flight."One pilot said, "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I'm going to switch the seatbelt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land. It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings, it affects the flight pattern."A Southwest Airlines employee said, "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have small children traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more."Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing goes like this: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal." Still another attendant sa id, “As you exit the plane, please be sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses. Last one off the plane must clean it.”News ReportParagliding for a Publishing DealScriptAn Australian writer-and paraglider-tried landing in front of Buckingham Palace last December to help him land a publishing deal.In what looked like a scene from a James Bond movie, the paraglider, 36-year-old Brett de la Mare, was followed through the skies of central London by a police helicopter as he headed toward the palace-the London home of Queen Elizabeth II. The royal family was not present at the time, but police took the incident seriously, all the same. The helicopter tried to force the paraglider away, but in the end, he succeeded in landing on the palace grounds. Police there promptly arrested him.This was no terrorist, however, as Police had feared. He was, rather, a writer trying to gain publicity to help publish a book, called “C anine Dawn”. Unable to get publishers interested in the book, he tried some new ways to get attention.After the incident, de la Mare explained what happened to reporters. "I came in over the fence, and I landed in the forecourt here, and the crowd started cheering. And I was arrested and dragged off." De la Mare said police had difficulty deciding what to charge him with: "They initially…they arrested me for attempted burglary..of ...Buckingham Palace... and of course, they dropped that. I mean, attempted burglary! I mean, it's hardly a discreet method of burglary..." They later charged him with breaches of the Air Navigation Order.De la Mare left a h umorous message on his cell phone for callers: "Hi, this is Brett. I'm sorry you missed me.

As a matter of fact, these “symptoms” result from losingour familiar environment. Such a feeling of confusion and anxiety is referred toas “culture shock”. We used to feel free, easy and happy with a life style builtup over so many years. Now, to get over a series of bad feelings caused by cultureshock, we must act positively/take a positive attitude. First, ask ourselves tobe broad-minded: accepting all cultural differences as normal. Then, try to orientourselves to the new surroundings. The local culture will become more understandableif we actively participate in community activities. As the saying goes, “When inRome, do as the Romans do”. Stepping into a new country means opening up a newworld. Though it takes time for the feeling of “a fish out of water”tofade/disappear, yet, believe me, you’ll regain confidence and happiness in theend.Theme-Related Writing■Do either of the following two tasks after class.1.Cultural differences may cause problems in intercultural communication. However,we should also be aware of the advantages brought about by cultural differences.Think about the advantages and disadvantages of cultural differences and write anessay entitled“My Views on Cultural Differences”. The following outline may beof some help:1) Cultural differences have more advantages than disadvantages:— Cultural differences make the world colorful and delightful;— Cultural differences enrich the civilization of mankind;— Cultural differences give each culture its unique identity.2) Your attitude to cultural differences:— Be more tolerant to other cultures;—People of different cultures should learn to live together and join hands in making the world a harmonious place to live in.▆ Sample essay 1:My Views on Cultural DifferencesIn my opinion, cultural differences have more advantages than disadvantages.First of all, it is cultural differences that make our world so colorful. If yougo to a foreign country, you will be impressed not only by its physical environmentbut also by its cultural environment —its foods, clothes, customs, social practices, etc. Differences between cultures have always been a source of joy and inspiration.Secondly, differences in culture enrich human civilization. Different culturescompete with as well as learn from each other. Roman culture was modeled on Greekculture, which had once borrowed a lot from Egyptian culture. American culture isalso a blend of many different cultures.Thirdly, differences in culture give each culture its unique identity. A cultureis usually seen in relation to other cultures. Chinese culture distinguishes itselffrom others by its peculiar concepts and things that can hardly be found elsewhere.Of course, cultural differences may cause conflicts and misunderstandings. But interdependence, common interests and mutual goals of different nations alwaysoutweigh differences in culture. Nations with different cultures should learn fromeach other and live peacefully together. To this end, we should be more tolerantto other cultures while preserving, protecting and developing our own.(202 words)2. In the face of globalization (全球化), we tend to be more and more tolerant towards other cultures. As a result, the influence of Western culture is strongly felt in our everyday life today. Write an essay entitled “My Views on the Influence of Western Culture”. Your essay should at least include the following two aspects:1) Instances showing the influence of Western culture;2) Your attitude towards Western culture.▇ Sa mple essay 2:My Views on the Influence of Western CultureOn weekends, I gather with my friends at MacDonald’s or KFC. We eat fried chicken, drink Coco-cola and talk about the latest release of Hollywood movies. We read foreign novels, listen to Western music and watch NBA. We admire Bill Gates, George Michael and Princess Diana. We dress ourselves in the Western style and celebrate Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Our way of life has thus changed. Indeed, the influence of Western culture is strongly felt in our everyday life.This influence in turn prepares us well to blend into the modern world and participate in the world market competition. But we should not ignore its side effects. Our national culture may gradually lose its ground if our attention is focused only upon Western culture. In following the trend of globalization we should maintain our own cultural identity, cherish our cultural tradition and develop our own culture. What Mahatma Gandhi once said can best sum up my views on the influence of Western culture: “I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.”(211 words)。

新世纪大学英语第三册课文翻译Unit1 text A友谊的真谛 (米歇尔〃E〃多伊尔马克〃K〃史密斯)1 我们探讨友谊这个概念时,遇到的第一个问题是,没有社会公认的择友标准。
在某一情境下,我们会把某个人称为朋友;然而,情境一旦变迁,朋友这个称呼就显得没那么贴切了。
因此,人们对友谊的真谛的理解往往是非常肤浅的。
为了帮助我们理解友谊的真正含义,我们需要回顾有关友谊的几种传统的看法。
2 一种传统的友谊观在古希腊著名的哲学家亚里士多德的著作里得以阐述。
他将自己心目中真正的友谊同另外两种友谊截然分开。
这两种友谊分别是:基于互利的友谊;基于愉悦的友谊。
因此,根据亚里士多德的观点,我们可以将友谊分为三类:3 建立在功利之上的友谊。
|功利并非永恒,它依照环境而变化。
友谊的根基一旦消失,友谊也随之破灭。
这类友谊似乎在老人之间最为常见,因为上了年纪的人需要的不是愉悦而是实用。
基于功利的友谊也同样存在于追逐个人利益的中年人和青年人中。
这些人不会在一起消磨时光,因为他们有时甚至不喜欢对方,因而觉得除非可以互相利用,否则没有交往的必要。
只有当他们认为彼此有希望相互利用的时候,才会乐于呆在一起。
4 建立在愉悦之上的友谊。
年轻人之间的友谊常被看作是建立在愉悦基础之上的,因为年轻人的生活受感情支配,他们感兴趣的主要是自己的快乐和眼前的重要机会。
然而,他们的情趣随着自己日渐成长也会变化,他们交友容易,分手也干脆。
年轻人的态度变化无常,甚至一日数变,难怪他们的友谊总是迅速地开始,又匆匆地结束。
5 建立在美德之上的友谊。
|完美无瑕的友谊立足于美德。
只有那些品德高尚而且拥有相似美德的人之间建立的友谊才是最完美的。
品行高尚的人,其行为是相同的,或者是类似的。
爱和友谊多半在品行高尚的人之间发生,而且以最高雅的形式出现。
这种友谊是罕见的,需要时间,需要交往。
常言道,真正的朋友必须同甘共苦,历经风雨。
只有当两个人互相证明自己值得爱并获得对方的信任之后,彼此方能接受对方为朋友。

Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Revealit about a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don’t pack the night before you travel. You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.2.Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items likecameras and cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.3.Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses theempty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.4.Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, planetickets, traveler’s checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to packa few rub of bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bringsome snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made othertravelers.Unit 1 Lesson BVideo track 3-1-1Dave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Video track 3-1-2Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's gothere" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns wereon his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh—video track 3-1-3Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

And I need two rooms for my kid.Realtor: And there’s also a big yard.Mrs. Wills: Great! I’d love to have a garden. My kids can play there.Realtor: Shall we go outside and have a look?Mrs. Wills: OK.Audio track 3-2-7There are seceral ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is transportation. We really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, these people are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streets belonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and “calm”the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.”Calming the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighbors will become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: I want my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.

We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't reallyknow the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis:I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

Unit 8 Men and Women Listening Audio Track 3-8-1 The man in the picture is handsome, even though he is bald and has a few wrinkles on his face. He looks athletic and muscular. He’s got nice white teeth, big eyes, big ears, and thick eyebrows. If I had to guess, I’d say he’s an athlete. The lady in the picture is elegant and attractive. She’s young, petite and pretty. She’s got long straight hair and a slim face. She has a good figure, slim but not too thin. She’s got big eyes and thick eyebrows. My guess is that she’s a movie star.

Audio Track 3-8-7/ Audio Track 3-8-8 Tattoos may appeal to some young people for various reasons, but pose risks to them at the same time. There are many side effects of getting a tattoo. For one thing, using unclean needles that are not sterilized properly for tattoos may lead to contracting diseases, such as HIV. Tattoos also look very unprofessional. If a student walks into an interview with a tattoo on his or her neck, it may lower their chances of getting the job. Some people may even think tattoos are disgusting. Tattoos may also be particularly unattractive and ugly-looking on females. Besides, tattoos are permanent and are not easy to get rid of. When they get old, the tattoos look like a mess. So no matter what reasons there might be for getting a tattoo, young people must always remember the consequences and risks. They shouldn’t get one unless they really want to keep it on their body forever and are willing to live with the consequences.
Audio Track 3-8-9/ Audio Track 3-8-10 (Speaker 1: Rachel Levine) I’m Rachel Levine. I’m a psychologist. In my view, the Internet has caused problems in dating. Some people think the Internet will help them find love a lot faster. But even if you have a great relationship online, you still have to meet face to face. And then the relationship often doesn’t work. (Speaker 2: Carman Torres) I’m Carman Torres. I’m 26 years old. I think high-tech dating doesn’t work, because you can’t really judge things like looks, personality, and sincerity online. On the computer a person can tell you all of their great qualities, and leave out the bad points. So you can waste a lot of time meeting guys that you really don’t get along with. (Speaker 3: Tina Gunderson) I’m Tina Gunderson. I’m 29 years old. I know Internet dating is really popular, but I’ve never tried it. I think the best way to meet a boyfriend is at your job. You can get to know a person very well in a relaxed way, with no pressure, because you’re not dating. You can learn about his personality because you spend a lot of time together. You will find out about his family, his interests, and his sense of humor. Best of all, you can ask other people’s opinion of him, and get advice from your friends. You can’t get all this online.
