I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!W: A zoo membership! Now that's a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo.

The trick here isn't making the list; that's the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number "2" next to anything that willjust take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it's a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter.Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 ., I can do a day's work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it can be difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning "night owls", but that's what email's for!Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently I interrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can't do this; but be honest and ask yourself, "Am I an email addict"With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be able to win some "me-time" for yourself.Q1: What tasks does the speaker tend to do first every day A Q2: How to work more efficiently according to the speaker C Q3:How does the speaker deal with emails now DQ4:What is the purpose of the talkCA.The quick tasks.use of your most productive time of day.opens his inbox only when it's necessary.give some tips on how to manage time.Passages2Listen to a short passage three times. When the passage isread for the first time, listen for its general idea. When it is read for the second time, fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. When it is read for the third time, check what you have written.In a perfect world, we would all avoid too much credit card debt and would never have to deal with the trouble of being unable to meet our credit card payment obligations. But this is not a perfect world, and unfortunately, these 1) distressing situations are the norm for many people.If you find yourself in this position, or heading there, you should cut your spending now. Don't wait until your situation is so 2) desperate that you have few options available to you.Facing the factors that give you the 3) urge to spend money carelessly can be uncomfortable, but if you don't face them, how will you control your debt and 4) acquire the things you truly wantOne negative aspect of using credit cards instead of cash is that you 5) are totally unaware of the fact that you're spending real money. The pleasant feelings you experience when you purchase the item 6) are isolated from the unpleasant feelings of making the payment when you get the credit card statement.Studies 7) affirm that most people are much less likely to buy when paying with cash as opposed to credit cards. So, try leaving your credit cards at home, and pay with cash or check.To really control your spending and your credit card debt, you need to examine what money means to you. Make an effort to notice how you 8) interact with money and what beliefs and attitudes you have about money. Studies also show that people with low self-esteem engage themselves in more 9) impulse spending and buying things they don't need.Remind yourself daily that your worth as a person has nothing to do with how much money you have.

Listening to the world
6 Work in pairs and discuss the questions. 1. What do you think is the relationship between money and happiness? In my opinion, money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. There are lots of rich people in the world who live unhappy lives. Happiness is just a state of mind, and it mainly depends on how you look at people and things. However, having money sometimes does make us feel a little happier because it can help us to gain what we want more easily.

short conversations1.W:The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I never have time for exercising.M: Don't think it's worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.Q: What advice does the man give to the woman?D.Do whatever she can to exercise.2.W: Hi, Mark, I've gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events?M:Well. Drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables or bread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full.Q:What can we know about the woman?A.She may have some social events to attend.3.W:I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces."M: Yes, that's right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.Q:What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa? B.People can smoke in the designated areas of pubs and bars.4.M:So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W:Yes, that's right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm. They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?C.Impacts of family violence on children.5.W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn't seem to be a successful strategy.M: No, it isn't. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a cup of 100 percent fruit juice.。

Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.Q:What advice does the man give to the woman?Conversation 2W:Hi, Mark, I ’ve gained quite some weight recently.

But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.Q:What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa?Conversation 4M:So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home,they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?W:Yes, that’ s right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm.They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?Conversation 5W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn ’ t seem to be a successful strategy.M:No, it isn ’ t. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with acup of 100 percent fruit juice.Q:What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?Long conversationM: I love working out!W: Ugh! You’ re sweating all over the floor⋯M:I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it ’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M:You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my mind relax and the stress just falls away.W:It is nice outside. My mom loves t ’ai chi and a nearby t ’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ ve tried going, but it ’ s too early for me to get out of bed⋯M:T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It ’s unhealthy for you to sit in front of your computer all day, every day!W:Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen? W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M:Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!W:A zoo membership! Now that ’ s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’ s near my house, I can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Passage 1Have you ever felt you don ’ t have enough hours in the day? Or that you ’ d give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn ’ t making the list; that ’ s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “ 2” next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it ’ s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter. Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or studythen. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can doa day’ s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird,it canbe difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “ night owls ”, but that ’s what email ’s for! Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently Iinterrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can ’ t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed andbe able to win some “ me-time ” for yourself.Short conversationsConversation 1W: So this is your last year in college. Have you ever thought about what you ’ d like to do after graduation?M:Well, I really don ’ t know. The job market seems to be improving, so I may look for a job somewhere. But I am also interested in applying for graduate school.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?M: Do you remember Linda we met a while ago at Susan ’ s birthday party?W: Linda? Do you mean the lady who you said was a nurse in the community hospital before her retirement? Yeah, I remember. She looks very young for her age.Q:What does the woman think of Linda?Conversation 3M:I wish I could retire tomorrow. Then I would not need to worry about work.W: I don ’t look forward to retirement. I ’m afraid of getting old – my body will slow down, and my children will be away. I dread losing independence and living in loneliness. Q: What makes the woman afraid of getting old?Conversation 4W: I consider my early 20s to be the prime time of my life. How about you?M:I couldn ’ t agree with you more. That ’ s no doubt the golden period. You are young and energetic. You are free to pursue your passion. The best thing is that you have a wealth of opportunities to explore.Q:What does the man like best about being in his early 20s?Conversation 5W: Hi, John. You are taking Law 201 this semester, right? How do you like it?M:Yeah, it’ s a great class. We’ ve looked at several cases of age discrimination at work. Such cases are very interesting because they are rarely clear-cut and court decisions can be rather controversial.Q: What does the man say about age discrimination cases?Long conversationM: Nancy, time to make a birthday wish!W:I wish ... hmm. OK! I want a high-paying job, a husband with a perfect face and body, and abig house ... with a swimming pool!M:Wow, Nancy! Those are your three wishes?W:Of course! If I have those three things, I ’ ll be happy!M:Now, Nancy. Let me tell you my story, and you may see things differently.W:“ See things differently?” What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?M:Here is what I once experienced in life. When I married, 32 years ago, we had ahappy marriage, a beautiful house, two expensive cars, and $200,000 in the bank!M:What happens if you lose your job, lose your house, and your husband becomes sick? I suggestthese three wishes: patience, courage and love!W:Patience, courage and love?M:Yes! If you have patience and courage, you and your husband will have good jobs and a nice house. And if you have true love, you and your husband will be beautiful to each other no matterhow old you become together.W:This is good.M:Within six years of our marriage, we had three beautiful children, but we lost our jobs, ourhouse, all our money, and then I got really sick for nine years. But we didn’ t lose anythingtruly valuable, because we always said: “ Wherever the five of us are together, we are at home! ” And, little by little things did improve, and I finally got well. Patience, courage and love!These are what make life full, strong and happy!W: Hmm, I will remember. Patience, courage and love! Thanks, Uncle Charlie!Passage 1If you think that you have to live up a remote mountain in order to live a long and healthy life,a religious community in Loma Linda, California, may prove you wrong. Its members are a group of Christians known as the Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists enjoy a much higher life expectancy than average Californians. Adventist men can expect to live about seven years longer than other Californian men. Adventist women are likely to live around four years longer than otherCalifornian women. The Adventists also act much younger than they are and see doctorsmuch less than ordinary people.So what’ s the secret of the Adventists ’ longevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their good health a mere accident. The Adventists live longer partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 percent of them are vegetarian, and around one half eat meat only rarely.Tobacco andalcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffeine. The Adventist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans, and water is the drink of choice.The longevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. They believe in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties. They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Linda, however, is not as good as in other longevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don ’t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellent health. Despite this, the Adventists ’ good health certainly provides strong evidence that diet andlifestyle choices have a great impact on health and longevity.Short conversationsConversation 1W:I really need a holiday, so I ’ m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break?M:I haven ’t got any plans yet. I don ’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money, or maybe I could start studying for next semester.Q:What is the woman going to do over the semester break?Conversation 2M:I heard that you quit your swimming lessons. But you have paid $120 for them.W: Ah, it ’s all these yoga sessions. I just couldn’t fit them all in. What ’s more, I got the majority of my fees back because I quit immediately after the first day.Q:Why did the woman quit her swimming lessons?Conversation 3M:Shall we spend our weekend in Singapore? We can leave Friday afternoon so as to have dinner next to the river and enjoy fireworks at the shore!W: I ’d rather go on Saturday. My aunt will drop in on Friday evening. We haven’t seen each otherfor a couple of years.Q: Why doesn ’t the woman want to leave on Friday?Conversation 4M: What do I need to bring for our camping trip to the national park?W: Well, we ’ ve bought the food and rented a van. It ’ s a camping vehicle with a fridge and cookingequipment. I think you will need a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings.Q:What does the woman suggest the man bring for the camping trip to the park?Conversation 5M:Have you confirmed your booking at the hotel in Sydney? With only three days left before our trip, I hope everyone is as ready as I am!W:Not yet. But I ’ d better call them before we start our vacation. During this time of year theyalways get quite busy.Q: What will the woman probably do before the vacation?Long conversationM:Rebecca, I just learned of an amazing park right here near our city!W:Really? Is it a nature park or an entertainment park?M:It ’ s a beautiful nature park, located 15 miles from our home.W:Bill, this is perfect! We can have a vacation and still keep saving money to visit myfamily sometime. But, can we get to Big Sky Park without a car?M:Yes, easily. We just take the No. 32 bus that goes right to the park. The only problem willbe getting all of our camping stuff with us on the bus.W:Well, I did just buy that new cart to help carry groceries home on the bus, plus we have your big backpack. Together, I think we will be fine. All of our camping equipment should easily fiton the bus.M:Good. Good! I know we can make it a really special weekend. I have longed for a time when we could walk alone together in the quiet beauty of nature. I ’ m so, so happy to have this chance to be with you at the park.W: I know me too! I know what I ’ ll do! I ’ ll pack all of our favorite food, and I ’ ll bake a small chocolate cake. Your favorite! Then we can drink tea and eat the chocolate cake around a campfire. I ’ m so happy you found Big Sky Park. I can’ t wait, just two more days for the weekend to come!M:I ’ m so happy as well. Big Sky Park will be wonderful. The fire, the dinner and spending time with you make me such a happy, happy man, Rebecca!Passage 1A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. But you have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things such as sofas, beds and anything that makes you feel like taking a rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around relaxingly in the museum.It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened rightafter the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.The museum’ s founder Marcela Arrieta said she wanted people to rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they may feel they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and change our lifestyle to a type that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stress ofwork can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta ’ s advice for yourself, slow down, and think about being lazy?Short conversationsConversation 1M:I think the government could provide some money for homeless people to build theirown homes. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address.W:It ’ s not a bad idea. But I wonder where the money will come from.Q:What does the man think the government could do?Conversation 2W:You see, some colleagues are not as active and efficient as usual and few have madeany progress in their business recently.M:Why don ’ t we organize some social activities, such as a baseball match? Our colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another.Q:What does the man suggest to change the situation?Conversation 3W:I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of day.M:When you take the subway, you don ’t have to deal with traffic. I never drive home. Driving at this time may be slower than walking.Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?W: Have you heard? Kate quit her job and went to Africa to work as a volunteer!M:Really? I really admire her courage. I think we should all extend an arm of help, loveand compassion to help poor people become self-reliant financially and psychologically.Q:What does the man think we all should do?Conversation 5W:You know there are many creative ways to reuse items. For example, old shoe boxes can be used for storage and plastic containers can be used for growing plants.M:I never realized that we could be so green. I just learned to recycle glass bottles.Q:What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationW: Hey, John! Everything OK? You look upset.M: Oh, hi Kate. I was in the cafeteria eating alone. James from accounting walked by, sat downto eat at the table right next to me – didn ’ t say a single word to me. I wondered why. W: Is that the main thing stressing you out, John?M:No, I was silly to feel bad about that. What I am stressed about is my workload. My manager, Steven, is a great guy. He always counts on me to get the work done. But I have five meetingsthis week and two big projects to complete by next Monday. I don ’ t see how I can finish. I ’ m really worried I ’ ll let my team down.W: I have some free time on Friday and over the weekend. I can help you with your extra work if you’ d like. I know that feeling of being overwhelmed with work. It ’ s awful. I’ d like to help. M: Really? You’ d do that for me?W:Of course I will! John, a lot of us really admire your work. Some of us have asked to work on your team. You’re a great example to us, John. You shouldn ’t doubt yourself. I ’m glad to help out.M:Wow, Kate. Thanks!W:We could ... discuss it over dinner on Thursday. My treat!M:Wow. No ... I mean I get to buy dinner, Kate! How about the new restaurant on 6th Street, 365?It ’ s called 365 because it offers local, seasonal foods – fall, winter, spring, and summer –healthy choices with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. Let ’ s meet at 7 p.m.W: Sounds wonderful! Thursday, 7 p.m. at the new restaurant 365 on 6th Street. Perfect!Passage 1More than half of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a survey.That’ s bad news for employers because workers ’ discontent can hurt productivity and hinder innovation.Lynn Franco, co-author of the report, says Americans ’ job satisfaction is at its lowest level in more than two decades: Only 45.3 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobs compared with 61 percent in 1987.The report was produced by the Conference Board, a non-profit organization that helps businesses strengthen their performance. It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee ’ s work life, including interest in the job, dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither young people who are just entering the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says, arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it’ s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 percentof baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that ’ s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opportunities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction. Thereare economic reasons such as wages, promotion policy and bonus policy that are sort ofadding tothis level of dissatisfaction. In addition, workers are also dissatisfied with the benefits: vacation policy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.Short conversationsConversation 1W:I’ve read a lot about this young singer in the music press. She ’s certainly creating a stir. Is she really that good?M:She’ s absolutely brilliant. Each of her performances has been a sell-out. Her mix of rap and folk music is unique and awesome.Q:What does the man say about the singer?Conversation 2M:So here we are in Rome, Italy. In the next four days, we are going to have a full schedule.W:I’m so excited. Rome has been my dream city. I can ’t wait to see the historical buildings, visit the art galleries and eat real Italian pizza. By the way, shall we start with the famous CapitolineQ:What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Conversation 3W:Besides modern opera, which you are studying now, are there any other areas of the artsyou enjoy?M:All sorts. I like pop music, and I very much enjoy pencil drawing. But what interests memost is poetry, especially American poetry in the early 20th century.Q:What ’ s the man ’ s area of study?Conversation 4M:Hi. I am calling to inquire about the exhibit of ancient Greek sculptures you are now hosting.W:Sure. Admission is free. The opening hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.Q:How long does the exhibit open on Saturdays?Conversation 5W: Darling, let ’ s check out the reviews of this movie online. If it’ s good, we should watch it. M:I think we should. To watch a silent movie is certainly not something common in modern days. The actors must have superb skills to attract the audience if they do not say anything.Q:What is special about the movie?Long conversationW:This feels like a dream ... The last time I was in San Francisco was 30 years ago, when I was your age, 15 years old. So much has changed in the city – but you know – many of the sites are just the same.M:Wow! San Francisco is as beautiful as a picture! I can ’t believe it! Let ’s get going! Let’s look at the map and take the streetcar to the Golden Gate Bridge.W:Yes, of course. But, wait – let’ s just take a moment to look at the Golden Gate Bridge from here– up high on the hill. See how amazing the sun looks, shining on the bridge there highabove the water? Sometimes the best way to really enjoy something is to see it from different angles and perspectives.M:Yes! Just beautiful from here! OK! Let ’ s get going! Wait! You know what, Aunt Lucy, I ’m really, really hungry! May we eat before we head out to see the Golden Gate Bridge?W:Yes, of course we can. We’re already here in Chinatown and near my favorite Chinese restaurant. Even after 30 years have passed since I last visited, it ’ s still busy and active.M:That ’s great, Aunt Lucy!W:And, it ’ s right here!M: Wow! This is amazing! The man inside the window is making noodles by hand – just by pulling on the flour dough. I ’ ve never seen anything like it before. How?W:Yes, I know. It’ s amazing, right? And the food is delicious, too! Sometimes the best way to enjoy culture is to simply slow down and truly experience it. We have five full days here in San Francisco. Let’ s go slowly and enjoy every moment!Passage 1The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world. It was created byLeonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, between around 1503 and 1506. The subject is the wife of a wealthy silk merchant of Italy. The woman ’s husband requested Da Vinci to portray her as a celebration of their home ’ s completion and the birth of their second son. What is it about thispainting that has created such a lasting impact on the artistic world?One factor is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a scientist,an architect and an engineer. His knowledge of the human form came from the study of actual human bodies, so he was able to draw and paint it more accurately.Another factor is the material used for the painting. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, butunlike other paintings, which are usually created on canvas, the Mona Lisa has a wood panel asthe surface. The use of a wood panel makes it possible for the work to have survived for centuries.Lastly, the style and techniques used for the painting make the Mona Lisa a masterpiece. DaVinci presented precise details in the subject’ s hands and face. He applied a shadowing techniqueat the corners of her lips and her eyes, which gives her an unbelievably lifelike appearance. He also created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape. His remarkable skills left behind no visible brush marks at all.All these factors – Da Vinci’ s talent, the medium used for the painting, the style andtechniques applied in the work – contribute to the lasting and mysterious beauty of the Mona Lisa.Short conversationsConversation 1M:There is not much worth in reading the newspapers these days. They have more pagesbut fewer words that really matter.W:You said it! All you find in them are advertisements and celebrity gossip. I wish theycould direct more attention to issues that are more important to society.Q: What does the man think of today ’ s newspapers?Conversation 2W: Hello. Today on Business Focus I am talking about knowledge management with Mr. Adam Johnson, the Human Resources Manager of a multinational company. Mr. Johnson, how has knowledge management changed the way your company works?M:In lots of ways. The most significant change occurs in how we manage the process of our project development ⋯Q:What is the woman probably doing?Conversation 3W:Recently, reality television has swept across almost all channels: matchmaking, job hunting, and talent shows. I don ’ t know why people are so crazy about it!M: In my view, some people watch reality TV because it makes them feel they ’ re better than others. They may also enjoy seeing other people get embarrassed.Q:What does the man say about reality TV?Conversation 4W:I think teenagers today experience a different social reality from what we had before.M:Exactly. When we were kids, we would hang out with friends, chatting, or going to movies. That’ s our experience, but what we see now is that young people are choosing to live online. Q:How do young people socialize today according to the man?Conversation 5W:Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are, butI think communications technology is bringing people closer.M:Yes, I’d go along with you on that. With these modern tools, there ’ s a new kind ofconnectionbeing built within families.Q: What does the man think of modern communications technology?Long conversationW:Hey Billy! It ’ s 7:30 p.m.! Turn off your TV and computer. Come down to dinner. It seems your father is finishing his conference call with his team in China.M: OK Mom. Coming. But why is Dad on his computer while I can’ t be on mine!W:Billy, your father is working. But you are chatting with your friends about celebrities!So your father needs to be on his computer. And you don ’t!M:OK. Sorry, Mom. What are we having for dinner? Pizza?W:Pizza?! I’ ve made us a nice dinner of roast chicken, mushroom soup and vegetable salad. I even made chocolate cake for dessert – and you want pizza!M: Just kidding Mom! I love your cooking! Mmm I’ m hungry, and it smells delicious!W: Billy! I told you to shut down all electronics!M: Mom! This isn ’ t fair. You told me to turn off my computer and my TV – you didn ’ t say all electronics – and you didn ’ t mention my cell phone! I have to check the news! My favorite golf player just got in trouble for drunk driving! Please Mom! I have to find out!W:You can’t go five minutes without having your eyes on a screen! Hand me your phone. Now! I am turning it off so we can have a nice dinner.M:OK Mom. Fine! Here ’ s my phone.W:Now, where is your father?M:Will you make Dad do the same? We never have family dinner anymore without Dad being on electronics!W: Hmm, you know, Billy, you have a very good point. I think it’s time we had family dinner without any electronics. Here ’ s our new rule: Just for 45 minutes over dinner, no electronics!。

Or that you ' d give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn ' t making the list; that' s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urge nt. Then I put the nu mber “ 2” n ext to anything that will just take a couple of minu tes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urge nt on es; it ' s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter.Second, know whe n is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shock ing discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do a day' s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it can be difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “ night owls ” , but that ' s what email' s for!Fin ally, do no t let your in box run your life.

Its members are a group of Christia ns known as the Seven th-day Adve ntists. The Adve ntists enjoy a much higher life expecta ncy tha n average Califor nians. Adve ntist men can expect to live about seve n years Ion ger tha n other California n men. Adve ntist wome n are likely to live around four years Ion ger tha n other California n wome n. The Adve ntists also act much youn ger tha n they are and see doctors much less tha n ordinary people.So what' s the secret of the Adventists ' Iongevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their good health a mere accide nt. The Adve ntists live Ion ger partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 perce nt of them are vegetaria n, and around one half eat meat only rarely. Tobacco and alcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffe ine. The Adve ntist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also in cludes ple nty of whole gra ins, nu ts, seeds and bea ns, and water is the drink of choice.The Iongevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. They believe in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties. They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Lin da, however, is not as good as in other Ion gevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don ' t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellent health. Despite this, the Adventists ' good health certainly provides strong evidenee that diet and lifestyle choices have a great impact on health and Ion gevity.1Q: In what way are the Adventists different from ordinary people?B They live their whole lives in a mountain,2Q: How much longer do Adventist women expect to live than other Californian women?C About three years.3Q: What is characteristic ofthc Adventists7 diet?D It is high in fruit, vegetables and whole grains.4Q: What is the main idea of the passage?A Diet and lifestyle are crucial to good health.W: I really need a holiday, so I' m going camping with some friends.

It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee ' s work life, including interest in the job, dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither young people who are just en teri ng the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says, arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it' s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 perce nt of baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that ' s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opport un ities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reas ons beh ind job dissatisfact ion. There are econo mic reas ons such as wages, promotio n policy and bonus policy that are sort of addi ng tothis level of dissatisfacti on. In additi on, workers are also dissatisfied with the ben efits: vacati on policy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.IQ: Whin negative effect can be caused by workers' discontent? A* Lc舁innovation cftbrta.2Q: What percentage of American workers arc satisfied with theirjobs as found by the survey?D.453 percent.3Q: Why is it that people aged 25 to 34 are most satisfied with theirjobs?D* Because they sec more opportunities for promotion as baby boomers retire.4Q: What can we conclude about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction?C, The reasons for job dissatisfaction are found to be various.W: I've read a lot about this young sin ger in the music press.

You’re sweating all over the floor …M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it’s so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.M: You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel mymind relax and the stress just falls away.W: It is nice outside. My mom loves t’ai chi and a nearby t’ai chi group meets every morning at 6a.m. I’ve tried going, but it’s too early for me to get out of bed …M: T’ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It’s unhealthy for you to sit in front ofyour computer all day, every day!W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn’t involve a computer or TV screen?W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of thebest panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six babypandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and gojogging in the zoo!W: A zoo membership! Now that’s a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It’s near my house, Ican get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!Passage 1Have you ever felt you don’t have enough hours in the day? Or that you’d give anything for awhole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn’t making the list; that’s the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number “2”next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it’s a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter.Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or studythen. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do aday’s work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, itcanbe difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning “night owls”, but that’s what email’s for! Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently Iinterrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now Ionly open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on youbeing constantly accessible by email, then you can’t do this; but be honest and ask yourself, “Am I an email addict?”With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and beable to win some “me-time”for yourself.Short conversationsConversation 1W: So this is your last year in college. Have you ever thought about what you’d like to do after graduation?M: Well, I really don’t know. The job market seems to be improving, so I may look for a job somewhere.

Do you mean the lady who you said was a nurse in the community hospital before her retirement? Yeah, I remember. She looks very young for her age.Q: What does the woman think of Linda?Conversation 3M: I wish I could retire tomorrow. Then I would not need to worry about work.W: I don’t look forward to retirement. I’m afraid of getting old –my body will slow down, and my children will be away. I dread losing independence and living in loneliness.Q: What makes the woman afraid of getting old?Conversation 4W: I consider my early 20s to be the prime time of my life. How about you?M: I couldn’t agree with you more. That’s no doubt the golden period. You are young and energetic. You are free to pursue your passion. The best thing is that you have a wealth of opportunities to explore.Q: What does the man like best about being in his early 20s?Conversation 5W: Hi, John. You are taking Law 201 this semester, right? How do you like it?M: Yeah, it’s a great class. We’ve looked at several cases of age discrimination at work. Such cases are very interesting because they are rarely clear-cut and court decisions can be rather controversial.Q: What does the man say about age discrimination cases?Long conversationM: Nancy, time to make a birthday wish!W: I wish ... hmm. OK! I want a high-paying job, a husband with a perfect face and body, and abig house ... with a swimming pool!M: Wow, Nancy! Those are your three wishes?W: Of course! If I have those three things, I’ll be happy!M: Now, Nancy. Let me tell you my story, and you may see things differently.W: “See things differently?”What do you mean, Uncle Charlie?M: Here is what I once experienced in life. When I married, 32 years ago, we had a happymarriage, a beautiful house, two expensive cars, and $200,000 in the bank!W: See, just like now!M: Wait! I would suggest three different wishes!W: Well ... What would you wish for? You’re older and wiser!M: What happens if you lose your job, lose your house, and your husband becomes sick? I suggestthese three wishes: patience, courage and love!W: Patience, courage and love?M: Yes! If you have patience and courage, you and your husband will have good jobs and a nicehouse. And if you have true love, you and your husband will be beautiful to each other nomatter how old you become together.W: This is good.M: Within six years of our marriage, we had three beautiful children, but we lost our jobs, ourhouse, all our money, and then I got really sick for nine years. But we didn’t lose anythingtruly valuable, because we always said: “Wherever the five of us are together, we are at home!”And, little by little things did improve, and I finally got well. Patience, courage and love!These are what make life full, strong and happy!W: Hmm, I will remember. Patience, courage and love! Thanks, Uncle Charlie!Passage 1If you think that you have to live up a remote mountain in order to live a long and healthy life,a religious community in Loma Linda, California, may prove you wrong. Its members are a groupof Christians known as the Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists enjoy a much higher life expectancy than average Californians. Adventist men can expect to live about seven years longerthan other Californian men. Adventist women are likely to live around four years longer than otherCalifornian women. The Adventists also act much younger than they are and see doctors muchless than ordinary people.So what’s the secret of the Adventists’longevity? It is not all in their genes. Nor is their goodhealth a mere accident. The Adventists live longer partly because they have a vegetable-based diet.Around 35 percent of them are vegetarian, and around one half eat meat only rarely. Tobaccoandalcohol consumptions are discouraged. So are rich or spicy foods, meat, and drinks containing caffeine. The Adventist diet is high in fruit and vegetables. It also includes plenty of whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans, and water is the drink of choice.The longevity of the Adventists is also related to their lifestyle and natural environment. Theybelieve in having regular exercise, helping others, and maintaining strong social and familial ties.They live in a mild climate with warm summers and cool winters. Interestingly, the air quality of Loma Linda, however, is not as good as in other longevity hot spots. This should give us all hope, as it suggests that we don’t have to have every single factor in place in order to achieve excellenthealth. Despite this, the Adventists’good health certainly provides strong evidence that diet andlifestyle choices have a great impact on health and longevity.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I really need a holiday, so I’m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break?M: I haven’t got any plans yet. I don’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money, or maybe I could start studying for next semester.Q: What is the woman going to do over the semester break?Conversation 2M: I heard that you quit your swimming lessons. But you have paid $120 for them.W: Ah, it’s all these yoga sessions. I just couldn’t fit them all in. What’s more, I got the majorityof my fees back because I quit immediately after the first day.Q: Why did the woman quit her swimming lessons?Conversation 3M: Shall we spend our weekend in Singapore? We can leave Friday afternoon so as to have dinnernext to the river and enjoy fireworks at the shore!W: I’d rather go on Saturday. My aunt will drop in on Friday evening. We haven’t seen each otherfor a couple of years.Q: Why doesn’t the woman want to leave on Friday?Conversation 4M: What do I need to bring for our camping trip to the national park?W: Well, we’ve bought the food and rented a van. It’s a camping vehicle with a fridge and cookingequipment. I think you will need a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings.Q: What does the woman suggest the man bring for the camping trip to the park?Conversation 5M: Have you confirmed your booking at the hotel in Sydney? With only three days left before ourtrip, I hope everyone is as ready as I am!W: Not yet. But I’d better call them before we start our vacation.

We can have a vacation and still keep saving money to visit my family sometime. But, can we get to Big Sky Park without a car?M: Yes, easily. We just take the No. 32 bus that goes right to the park. The only problem will be getting all of our camping stuff with us on the bus.W: Well, I did just buy that new cart to help carry groceries home on the bus, plus we have your big backpack. Together, I think we will be fine. All of our camping equipment should easily fit on the bus.M: Good. Good! I know we can make it a really special weekend. I have longed for a time when we could walk alone together in the quiet beauty of nature. I’m so, so happy to have thischance to be with you at the park.W: I know me too! I know what I’ll do! I’ll pack all of our favorite food, and I’ll bake a small chocolate cake. Your favorite! Then we can drink tea and eat the chocolate cake around a campfire. I’m so happy you found Big Sky Park. I can’t wait, just two more days for the weekend to come!M: I’m so happy as well. Big Sky Park will be wonderful. The fire, the dinner and spending time with you make me such a happy, happy man, Rebecca!Passage 1A new museum entirely dedicated to laziness has opened in the capital city of Colombia. Butyou have to hurry if you want to see the exhibits and find out about being lazy because the exhibition lasts only for one week. The unusual show displays a whole range of things such as sofas, beds and anything that makes you feel like taking a rest. There are also plenty of televisions for those visiting couch potatoes to watch as they move around relaxingly in the museum.It is no coincidence but rather an intentional decision for the museum to have opened rightafter the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year. It offers a practical experience to make us think about laziness in our high-speed, fast-paced societies.The museum’s founder Marcela Arrieta said she wanted people to rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She told the media that people today always think about laziness as an enemy of work. For example, they may feel guilty if they sleep late, or they mayfeel they are wasting time after taking a nap or having a holiday.Ms. Arrieta may not be proposing that we should have a shorter working week, but she couldhave a point in that we do need more leisure time than our jobs allow us, and change our lifestyleto a type that is more relaxing. Besides, according to scientists, avoiding the pressure and stressofwork can make us healthier and live longer. So, why not try out Ms. Arrieta’s advice for yourself, slow down, and think about being lazy?Short conversationsConversation 1M: I think the government could provide some money for homeless people to build their own homes. Homeless people would find it easier to get jobs if they had an address.W: It’s not a bad idea. But I wonder where the money will come from.Q: What does the man think the government could do?Conversation 2W: You see, some colleagues are not as active and efficient as usual and few have made any progress in their business recently.M: Why don’t we organize some social activities, such as a baseball match? Our colleagues can learn to help and cooperate with one another.Q: What does the man suggest to change the situation?Conversation 3W: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of day.M: When you take the subway, you don’t have to deal with traffic. I never drive home. Driving at this time may be slower than walking.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?Conversation 4W: Have you heard? Kate quit her job and went to Africa to work as a volunteer!M: Really? I really admire her courage. I think we should all extend an arm of help, love and compassion to help poor people become self-reliant financially and psychologically.Q: What does the man think we all should do?Conversation 5W: You know there are many creative ways to reuse items. For example, old shoe boxes can be used for storage and plastic containers can be used for growing plants.M: I never realized that we could be so green. I just learned to recycle glass bottles.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Long conversationW: Hey, John! Everything OK? You look upset.M: Oh, hi Kate. I was in the cafeteria eating alone. James from accounting walked by, sat down to eat at the table right next to me –didn’t say a single word to me. I wondered why.W: Is that the main thing stressing you out, John?M: No, I was silly to feel bad about that. What I am stressed about is my workload. My manager, Steven, is a great guy. He always counts on me to get the work done. But I have five meetingsthis week and two big projects to complete by next Monday. I don’t see how I can finish. I’m really worried I’ll let my team down.W: I have some free time on Friday and over the weekend. I can help you with your extra work if you’d like. I know that feeling of being overwhelmed with work. It’s awful. I’d like to help. M: Really? You’d do that for me?W: Of course I will! John, a lot of us really admire your work. Some of us have asked to work on your team. You’re a great example to us, John. You shouldn’t doubt yourself. I’m glad to help out.M: Wow, Kate. Thanks!W: We could ... discuss it over dinner on Thursday. My treat!M: Wow. No ... I mean I get to buy dinner, Kate! How about the new restaurant on 6th Street,365?It’s called 365 because it offers local, seasonal foods –fall, winter, spring, and summer –healthy choices with wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. Let’s meet at 7 p.m.W: Sounds wonderful! Thursday, 7 p.m. at the new restaurant 365 on 6th Street. Perfect!Passage 1More than half of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a survey.That’s bad news for employers because workers’discontent can hurt productivity and hinder innovation.Lynn Franco, co-author of the report, says Americans’job satisfaction is at its lowest level in more than two decades: Only 45.3 percent of workers say they are satisfied with their jobs compared with 61 percent in 1987.The report was produced by the Conference Board, a non-profit organization that helpsbusinesses strengthen their performance. It is based on a survey of 5,000 US households. It showsa drop in satisfaction in many aspects of an employee’s work life, including interest in the job, dealing with co-workers and bosses, commuting and job security. As a group, neither youngpeople who are just entering the workforce nor employees who are about to retire, Franco says,arehappy with what they do.Only about 36 percent of workers under the age of 25 say they are currently satisfied withtheir jobs. And it’s not much better among baby boomers. Twenty years ago, more than 50 percentof baby boomers were satisfied. Today, that’s down to 46 percent.The most satisfied group of workers in the survey was those aged 25 to 34. Franco suggeststhat they may see some opportunities for upward mobility as baby boomers retire.The Conference Board survey also asked about the reasons behind job dissatisfaction. Thereare economic reasons such as wages, promotion policy and bonus policy that are sort of addingtothis level of dissatisfaction. In addition, workers are also dissatisfied with the benefits: vacationpolicy, family-related leave time, work schedule flexibility, and a variety of other factors as well.Short conversationsConversation 1W: I’ve read a lot about this young singer in the music press. She’s certainly creating a stir. Is she really that good?M: She’s absolutely brilliant. Each of her performances has been a sell-out. Her mix of rap and folk music is unique and awesome.Q: What does the man say about the singer?Conversation 2M: So here we are in Rome, Italy. In the next four days, we are going to have a full schedule.W: I’m so excited. Rome has been my dream city. I can’t wait to see the historical buildings, visit the art galleries and eat real Italian pizza. By the way, shall we start with the famous Capitoline Museums tomorrow?Q: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Conversation 3W: Besides modern opera, which you are studying now, are there any other areas of the arts you enjoy?M: All sorts. I like pop music, and I very much enjoy pencil drawing. But what interests me mostis poetry, especially American poetry in the early 20th century.Q: What’s the man’s area of study?Conversation 4M: Hi. I am calling to inquire about the exhibit of ancient Greek sculptures you are now hosting. Could you please tell me the admission fee and the opening times?W: Sure. Admission is free. The opening hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.Q: How long does the exhibit open on Saturdays?Conversation 5W: Darling, let’s check out the reviews of this movie online. If it’s good, we should watch it. M: I think we should. To watch a silent movie is certainly not something common in modern days. The actors must have superb skills to attract the audience if they do not say anything.Q: What is special about the movie?Long conversationW: This feels like a dream ... The last time I was in San Francisco was 30 years ago, when I was your age, 15 years old. So much has changed in the city–but you know–many of the sites are just the same.M: Wow! San Francisco is as beautiful as a picture! I can’t believe it! Let’s get going! Let’s look at the map and take the streetcar to the Golden Gate Bridge.W: Yes, of course. But, wait–let’s just take a moment to look at the Golden Gate Bridge from here–up high on the hill. See how amazing the sun looks, shining on the bridge there highabove the water? Sometimes the best way to really enjoy something is to see it from different angles and perspectives.M: Yes! Just beautiful from here! OK! Let’s get going! Wait! You know what, Aunt Lucy, I’mreally, really hungry! May we eat before we head out to see the Golden Gate Bridge?W: Yes, of course we can. We’re already here in Chinatown and near my favorite Chinese restaurant. Even after 30 years have passed since I last visited, it’s still busy and active.M: That’s great, Aunt Lucy!W: And, it’s right here!M: Wow! This is amazing! The man inside the window is making noodles by hand–just by pulling on the flour dough. I’ve never seen anything like it before. How?W: Yes, I know. It’s amazing, right? And the food is delicious, too! Sometimes the best way to enjoy culture is to simply slow down and truly experience it. We have five full days here inSan Francisco. Let’s go slowly and enjoy every moment!Passage 1The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world. It was created byLeonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, between around 1503 and 1506. The subject is the wife of a wealthy silk merchant of Italy. The woman’s husband requested Da Vinci to portray heras a celebration of their home’s completion and the birth of their second son. What is it about thispainting that has created such a lasting impact on the artistic world?One factor is the artist himself. Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a scientist,an architect and an engineer. His knowledge of the human form came from the study of actualhuman bodies, so he was able to draw and paint it more accurately.Another factor is the material used for the painting. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting, butunlike other paintings, which are usually created on canvas, the Mona Lisa has a wood panel asthe surface. The use of a wood panel makes it possible for the work to have survived for centuries.Lastly, the style and techniques used for the painting make the Mona Lisa a masterpiece. DaVinci presented precise details in the subject’s hands and face. He applied a shadowing techniqueat the corners of her lips and her eyes, which gives her an unbelievably lifelike appearance. Healso created a background with aerial views and a beautiful landscape. His remarkable skills leftbehind no visible brush marks at all.All these factors–Da Vinci’s talent, the medium used for the painting, the style andtechniques applied in the work–contribute to the lasting and mysterious beauty of the Mona Lisa.Short conversationsConversation 1M: There is not much worth in reading the newspapers these days. They have more pages but fewer words that really matter.W: You said it! All you find in them are advertisements and celebrity gossip. I wish they could direct more attention to issues that are more important to society.Q: What does the man think of today’s newspapers?Conversation 2W: Hello. Today on Business Focus I am talking about knowledge management with Mr. Adam Johnson, the Human Resources Manager of a multinational company. Mr. Johnson, how has knowledge management changed the way your company works?M: In lots of ways. The most significant change occurs in how we manage the process of our project development …Q: What is the woman probably doing?Conversation 3W: Recently, reality television has swept across almost all channels: matchmaking, job hunting, and talent shows. I don’t know why people are so crazy about it!M: In my view, some people watch reality TV because it makes them feel they’re better than others. They may also enjoy seeing other people get embarrassed.Q: What does the man say about reality TV?Conversation 4W: I think teenagers today experience a different social reality from what we had before.M: Exactly. When we were kids, we would hang out with friends, chatting, or going to movies. That’s our experience, but what we see now is that young people are choosing to live online. Q: How do young people socialize today according to the man?Conversation 5W: Much has been said about how anti-social the Internet and mobile phones are, butI think communications technology is bringing people closer.M: Yes, I’d go along with you on that. With these modern tools, there’s a new kind of connectionbeing built within families.Q: What does the man think of modern communications technology?Long conversationW: Hey Billy! It’s 7:30 p.m.! Turn off your TV and computer. Come down to dinner. It seems yourfather is finishing his conference call with his team in China.M: OK Mom. Coming. But why is Dad on his computer while I can’t be on mine!W: Billy, your father is working. But you are chatting with your friends about celebrities!So your father needs to be on his computer. And you don’t!M: OK. Sorry, Mom. What are we having for dinner? Pizza?W: Pizza?! I’ve made us a nice dinner of roast chicken, mushroom soup and vegetable salad. Ieven made chocolate cake for dessert –and you want pizza!M: Just kidding Mom! I love your cooking! Mmm I’m hungry, and it smells delicious!W: Billy! I told you to shut down all electronics!M: Mom! This isn’t fair. You told me to turn off my computer and my TV –you didn’t say all electronics –and you didn’t mention my cell phone! I have to check the news! My favoritegolf player just got in trouble for drunk driving! Please Mom! I have to find out!W: You can’t go five minutes without having your eyes on a screen! Hand me your phone. Now! I am turning it off so we can have a nice dinner.M: OK Mom. Fine! Here’s my phone.W: Now, where is your father?M: Will you make Dad do the same? We never have family dinner anymore without Dad being on electronics!W: Hmm, you know, Billy, you have a very good point. I think it’s time we had family dinner without any electronics. Here’s our new rule: Just for 45 minutes over dinner, no electronics!Passage 1We as a society have intense interest in the celebrity news prevalent in our media. One of thekey reasons is that in a world of constant death and disasters, celebrity news allows us to escape。
