Listening InTask 2: How to select elective courses?ScriptConsider these tips on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best.To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you will never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding 10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on their study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others get up early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. One student said, “Whatev er I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know how to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”. 1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achieversstarting to study?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems with our educational systemScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students’ abilities and interest in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students I believe to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, you know, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others’. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they areTask 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, theprofessor placed them in separate room, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,”they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.”Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.1.What is main idea of the passage?2.How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?3.What was the relationship between Harvard University and religionduring its early years?4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of PresidentPusey’s fundraising program?5.What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DUint 3Culture makes me what I amII. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Many Chinese students are too shy to say anything in a classroom. M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty, and they don’t want to appear to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius. Q: Why don’t Chinese students say anything in classroom according to the man?2.ScriptW:The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the workplace. Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work. M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptW: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacturer of personal computers, and he has realized that dream. M:And he dropped out of university to become a success.

Why so much fuss about it, Miss Knowledge?Eliza:Don’t make fun of me. According to the author, competition is especially important in American life. They’re taught to compete from early childhood. When children play games, they learn how to beat others.Alan: And many girls want to look more attractive than the girls sitting next to them in class. Do you think that way?Eliza:Don’t be silly. Let’s get back to the point. When children are growing up, they compete with one another in their studies. Alan: Isn’t that also true of students in other nations? As we all know, many Asian students kill for a high test score and grab everyopportunity to sharpen their competitive edge over others. Eliza:American boys find great pleasure in competing with each other in sports, according to the author.Alan: I do like sports. When our football team beats the other team, I feel great. Makes me want to shout out loud. But isn’t that normal throughout the world?Eliza:American people also compete with each other at work and at climbing the social ladder.Alan: But there’s co mpetition in other countries as well.Eliza: You’re right in a sense, but the author says the idea of competing is more deeply rooted in the minds of Americans. They’re eventaught that if you lose and don’t feel hurt, there must be something wrong with you.Alan: I hear that some Asians put emphasis on cooperation. Which approach do you think makes more sense?Eliza: It’s hard to say. Anyway, there’s no accounting for different cultures.1.What is the dialog mainly about?2.What is the woman doing?3.What do children learn from playing games according to the woman?4.What does the man say about students’ studies?5.What does the woman say when asked which makes more sense, competitionor cooperation?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.DTask 2: Americans’ Work EthicScriptFor four hundred years or more, one thing has been a characteristic of Americans. It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9) In English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsivelly. The word “workaholic” describes an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Cross-cultural ips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U. S., The U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China--the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is alao very important with the Americans and the British. But while it's important to be on time forbusiness meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a special event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In the business environment of those four countries, it is best to wear formal clothes of dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are rather common. However, don't be surprised if you go to an office in the U.K. on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies in the U.K. have "dress down Fridays", when people wear casual attire.In conversation, the British and the Americans love humor and talking about sports. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British, but you should avoid political talk. With the Russians, say positive things about their country, and avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can't change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with the Russians it's important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don't be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions!Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!Questions and key1.What is true of the Americans and the British in terms of punctuality?2.In which country do people have "dress down Fridays"?3.What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?4.How can you do business well with the Russians?5.What is the speaker's attitude toward the four nationalities? Keys: 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.CVI.Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. B ut they usually don’t try that at work. American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance.Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to chance it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop in” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don’t try to control time, but t o experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature---from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon---shapes their view of events. If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”1.According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do theydo?2.According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for anappointment is fixed?3.How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships andschedules?4.According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried ifthey let an opportunity pass by?5.

Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not startin the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary fordual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.Task 3:Views on filial piety see changeScriptWith fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety. Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conductd by the City University of Hong Kong.As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families.Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds. He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love. When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes. Others said that they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychologiacal health of their parents.According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously. Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care.Researcher Wong questioned the wisdon of adopting the new concept of government welware. He said, "A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent. How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?"He further pointed out that even when a socail security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give.Questions and key1.According to most of the respondents, who should take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly?2.Which of the following is a way for most respondents to show respectht and love for their old parents?3.Which of the following types of people have more loving care for their old parents?4.According to Researcher Wong, why is a welfare society not realistic in Hong Kong?5.What it the passage maily abou?1.

I don't know what to do. If you have any advice to give me, I would be grateful. Thanks.Answer (by a woman psychiatrist):Hi, Diana. It's obvious to me that your daughter is having problems with the visits. I would suggest having a frank conversation with your daughter to see what she feels the problems are. If she says it is all these problems as you have stated above, I would try to talk to yout ex about her problems. I'll try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at school.If he is not responsive, then I'll take your daughter for counseling to help her.You can't make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should speng quality time with her and allow her to vent her feelings on you, and let her know you are always there for her no matter what happens. Try to keep her self-esteem high. When a child fails a grade, they will feel bad.

If you’d listen to me and used the Internet, you’d have a husband by now.W2: I did use the Internet. I posted an ad that read “Husband Wanted”. There were dozens of e-mail responses.

Listening InT ask1: Reasons for a DivorceScriptW: I’m divorcing my husband.M: How long have you been married?W: Thirteen years.M: Do you have children?W:Y es, and I have to protect them from any more harm from my husband’s irresponsibilityM: So, what are your grounds for divorce?W: Well, first of all, he keeps changing jobs. We’ve had moved four times in thirteen years!M: And, you believe that will be good grounds for divorce?W: I do have a right to stability for my children and myself, don’t I?M: Aren’t they his children, too?W: But my husband isn’t fulfilling his duties!M: Is he paying the bills?W: Well, yes, but we just live around the poverty line. Our kids are being teased by other kids at school because we can’t dress them in good clothes! We have to live in a small department and drive an old car!M: Does the car run?W: Yes, but it looks OLD!M: Do you yell at him and call him names?W: Well, he yells at me!M: So, those are the reasons to not honor your husband.

After thirteen years marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, claiming he is irresponsible. When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teased by other children for not dressing good clothes. Also, they had to live in a small apartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells ather, though she admits she also yell at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation rights instead of joint custody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments.T ask 2: What four-letter words?ScriptDorothy was the only child of her family, born when her parents were mid-aged. They spoiled her badly. At the age of 33 she still lived at home. Her mother and father treat her like a princess. She seemed perfectly content with that situation, so her friends were surprised when she announced she would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn’t last long. But for the present, she and her new husband approached happy.As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.“How does everything go?” her mother asked.“Oh, Mom,”she began, “the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I’d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. Y ou’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!” the new bride sobbed over the telephone.“But, honey,” the mother asked, “What four-letter words?”“I can’t tell you, Mom. They’re too awful! Come get me, please!”“Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used.”Still sobbing, the bride said, “Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook.”Keys: FTFFTT ask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. Myfriends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest “someone special”.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, “Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.”There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three childre n, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. “Mom, I’m glad you didn’t remarry,”she said. “If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.” At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.1.What was the speaker most afraid of?2.Which of the following is NOT true?3.What did the speaker’s colleague say?4.Which of the following is true?5.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done?

Let’s T alkScriptIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that’s my story.Remarried is the last thing I’d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife. As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.DebateSAMPLEA: On the whole I don’t support remarriage. Too many remarriages have turned out to be unsuccessful and end in divorce.B:If you say many remarriages have failed, that means other remarriages have survived, or even bloomed. We should not only look at the dark of the issue.A:But ther e’re too many factors contribute to the failure of a second marriage. For example, as you become older, you may find it increasingly difficult to adjust to a different pattern of life with a new mate. Once there’s a conflict neither is willingto give in.B: There’re conflicts everywhere, but you should not neglect that an adult has psychological and physical needs. Without a companion, one may feel lonely and anxious.A: In a new family the husband tends to compare his new wife’s weak point with his ex-wife’s strong point. And the wife does the same.B: I wish you’d seen the film The Sound of Music. The governess Maria blended so smoothly into the Captain’s family.A:It is not easy for children to accept the new mother or father. It is simply impossible for them to forget their birth-mother’s loving care and the happy moments in their childhood.B: But how happy are the Captain’s seven children with their adopted mother Maria! If the new mother shows genuine care for the kids, they will gradually warm to her. On the other hand, many children in a single-parent family are under psychological pressure and suffer from anxiety attack. So, the single life is not the right choice. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: Early MarriageScriptAt the age of 12, Lisa has been married for three years to a young man she met just after finishing secondary school. He treated her well. She almost died during the birth of their first child, born a year after their marriage. The second child, born 18 months later, was also a girl. Lately she and her husband quarrel frequently. She wants to go to vocational school to learn skills to add to the family income, but his mother insists she stay home and produce a son.This example is by no means exceptional. Early marriage is common in many parts of the world. Early marriage leads to early motherhood. In some developing countries, 20 percent or over half of the women give birth to their first child before the age of 18.Expectations from parents, in-laws and society are to produce a child as soon as possible. Many young wives feel pressure to bear son. This typically results in early and frequent pregnancies.In developing countries, more than half a million women die every year from causes related to pregnancy. There are four important reasons for these deaths. Birth are either “too soon, too close, too many, or to late”. According to statistics, it is young women who most die during pregnancy.1.At what age did Lisa give birth to her first child?2.What does Lisa want?3.Why do women in some developing countries have babies early?4.What are the reasons women die from childbirth?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.D3.A 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies.

Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do anything! DO YOU HEAR ME?”Then she quickly hangs up.The old man hangs up his phone and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to his wife and says merrily, “Okay, they are coming back for Christmas and paying their own way.”For Reference:1. He and the boy’s mother are divorcing.2.

They will come back home and stop the parents from divorcing.5.

There’s a new stone market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. The new colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New Y ork’s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one’s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably befully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, “It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.”The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying “Diamonds are forever”may lose some of its meaning.。

Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous.This may result in a(n) 6)------(vicious) circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when we feel we are being observed.To cope with the problem, I would like to 7)------(challenge) you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your 8)------(excessive) focus on yourself.Yes, I know, this is easier said than done.The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯).But if you begin to build a new response, in 9)------(reaction) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response.Remember, don't let self-consciousness 10)------(paralyze) you! Be courageous!三．Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film 1)------(domain).She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to 2)------(define) a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin (小精灵似的) beauty.Today's 3)------(popularity) of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence. Although she appeared frail (脆弱的), she was 4)------(mentally) strong.At the end of her acting career when she entered a(n) 5)------(diplomatic) career as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly 6)------(committed) to her cause that she was held in highest esteem (尊重) by even the most hardened politicians.Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 1954, doing radio presentations.She always said it was happy to 7)------(devote) her life to helping impoverished (穷困的)children after her own good fortune in 8)------(surviving) the hardship of the Nazi occupation of Holland.She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and 9)------(embarked) on trips to many countries.She was always positive: "People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening."In 1992, her 10)------(humanitarian) work with those in need was recognized when she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity.四．"Why would you leave behind your comfortable bed, your home, your family and friends? Why do you want to go alone?" When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why.I seldom get time to sit down and 1)----(contemplate) the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once you step outside of your 2)----(comfort) zone.My first overseas trip was at 14 years old, which 3)----(sparked) my curiosity for the world.Since finishing high school I have 4)----(ventured) through various countries and been amazed by all the 5)----(diverse) cultures scattered around the globe.My eyes are my greatest asset as they have 6)----(witnessed) the most beautiful scenes that replay in my mind every day: 7)----(stunning) landscapes,friendly locals, breath-taking architecture, and food that makes your mouth water once your eyes catch a(n) 8)----(glimpse).Traveling teaches you to be independent in the most 9)----(positive) way.I know how to depend on myself, go out and meet people, and not let anyone else's expectations10)----(dictate) my life.Every day I see my dream and every day it's in a new place.I am 22 years young.I quite agree with Anthony Bourdain, "If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel.Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go."五．In a study conducted in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five 1)----(employees) were happy at work.Surprisingly, contrary to popular 2)----(notion) , friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary or the love for the work, have been found to be the 3)----(primary) causes of happiness at work.So, how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time, 4)----(foster) a sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and complete job satisfaction in the workplace.Start with a positive outlook.Happiness is a state of mind; it 5)----(reflects) an attitude, though not many people realize it.Staying happy at work is totally based on your 6)----(motivations) and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on 7)----(monetary) rewards or material gain.Dwelling on (老是想着) the good 8----(aspects) of the work rather than rattling on and on (对...喋喋不休) about what makes you unhappy is the basic key to happiness.Negativity and 9)----(gossiping) about bad things may be easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job.As Francesca Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves 10)----(miserable), or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."八．Laughter is a(n) 1)----(automatic) response to being touched by a tickle (搔痒) –a natural response from the child.This puts the tickler in 2)----(charge) of how much or how long the child laughs.We adults don't read children's minds, but we often have a(n) 3)----(presumption) that we can.So we usually think we're aware of what's too much tickling and when to stop.But it is possible to trap our children without knowing it.We parents become 4)----(attached) to tickling because it seems to be a(n) 5)----(handy) shortcut to laughter.We wish that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes our shortcut to get assured.Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can 6)----(confer) upon them inner confidence if we will get down on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical 7)----(contact) with us.If we find ways to give them much of the power, our children will laugh and laugh.Games like "I have a hundred hugs for you!" or "Where's Jared? I know he's around here somewhere." or "Oh, no! I can't get this horsy rider off my back!"let children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try to find them, or try to 8)----(bounce) them off our backs, and fail over and over.The physical contact that requires more creativity than tickling allows us to 9)----(tumble) around, to press our heads against their stomachs here and there for a second, and to manage an embrace before they make another daring escape.We get our affection across without trapping our children.And we give them a chance to be inventive as they use their 10)----(intellect) to figure out a hundred ways to outsmart us.。

James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1. In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme2.

The design of a buffalo was modified ________.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyond understanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the Philadelphia MintD. because the words were too high on the coin4. According to one collectors' magazine using a Native American and a buffalo was ________.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea5. It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson ________.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6. Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards focused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.

A couple of greeting card companies ________.A. presented Engelbreit with contractsB. asked Engelbreit to make her cards more distinctiveC. wanted Engelbreit to use more meaningful quotationsD. thought her cards were to complicated10. According to Mary Engelbreit, the key to success is ________.A. devotionB. opportunityC. good luckD. imaginationQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors' diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called "vitamins". Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catchingcolds.The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins.11. Which of the following happens because of scurvy?A. People become hungry.B. People lose blood.C. People become livid.D. People feel pain in their gums.12. How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?A. They took fresh fruit with them.B. They stopped in places to relax.C. They often found Indians to help.D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.13. Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?A. Vitamin A.B. Vitamin B.C. Vitamin C.D. Vitamin D.14. What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.B. Diets like those taken by religious people.C. Certain important elements known by letters.D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.15. When should people take vitamins?A. When wanting to be healthy.B. When joining a religion.C. When dieting to lose weight.D. When protecting against sickness.Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 1.5 分; 满分：22.5 分) 小题得分对错我的答案客观1. 1.5 B B2. 1.5 C C3. 1.5 A A4. 1.5 B B5. 1.5 C C6. 1.5 C C7. 1.5 B B8. 1.5 A A9. 1.5 A A10. 1.5 D D11. 1.5 D D12. 1.5 A A13. 1.5 C C14. 1.5 D D15. 1.5 C CSubtotal: 22.5老师评语：Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions)(每小题：分)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and give brief answers to the questions. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In France, enthusiasm for the American cause was high. In May 1776, France began providing aid to the colonies, sending 14 ships with war supplies to America. In fact, most of the guns used by the American armies came from France. After Britain's defeat at Saratoga, France saw an opportunity to seriously weaken its ancient enemy and correct the balance of power that had been upset by the Seven Years' War (the French and Indian War). On February 6, 1778, America and France signed a declaration of friendship and commerce, in which France recognized America and offered trade deals. They also signed a statement, which said that if France entered the war, neither country would lay down its arms until America won its independence, that neither would make peace with Britain without the agreement of the other, and that each promised to protect the other's possessions in America. This was the only two-side defense partnership signed by the United States until 1949.The Franco-American alliance soon broadened the conflict. In June 1778 British ships fired on French vessels, and the two countries went to war. In 1779 Spain, hoping to capture territories taken by Britain in the Seven Years' War, entered the conflict on the side of France, but not as an ally of the Americans. In 1780 Britain declared war on the Dutch, who had continued to trade with the Americans. The combination of these European powers, with France in the lead, was a far greater danger to Britain than the American colonies standing alone.1. When did France begin to provide aid to the American colonies?2. What did the declaration of friendship and commerce say about France?3. Besides American independence, under what condition would either France or America create peace with Britain?4. What was one of the results of the alliance between France and America?5.

Global citizenship believes that humankind is essentially one and each individual has the power to change things. In our interdependent world, global citizenship encourages us to recognize our responsibilities toward each other and learn from each other. Global citizens care about education, disease, poverty, and environmental issues around the world. Today, the forces of global engagement are helping some people identify themselves as global citizens who have a sense of belonging to a world community. This growing global identity in large part is made possible by the forces of modern information,communications and transportation technologies. Global citizenship aims to empower people to lead their own action. Along with the knowledge and values that they have gained from learning about global issues, people need to be equipped with the necessary skills to give themselves the ability and confidence to be pro-active in making a positive difference in the world.世界公民是指一个人承认自己是新兴的全球社区的一分子，而且其行动对全球社区的价值打造和实践活动有所贡献。

unit1When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued（挽救）each of us from a life of poverty（贫穷） and loneliness（孤独）. They were hardly able to restrain（克制）themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources（资源）they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated （感激） someone until they pass away（大多数人都不知道他们有多么感激一个人，直到那个人去世）. My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered（说）the words "Thank you" to our parents（我的妹妹和弟弟和我都不想在我们对父母说谢谢你之前让这件事发生）.Although we have all grown up and scattered（散落） about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook（从事，承担）the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years.

Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!永不言弃！1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there didnot preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。
