Your eyelids are starting to close and 7-11 is just around the corner. A soda or a bag of chips would be just the thing to perk you up*. So you, too, go out for an afternoon snack.Sometimes we eat simply because everyone else is doing it. Other times we eatwhen we feel tired, bored or depressed. Snacking for the wrong reasons can lead to overeating and unhealthy diet.Of course, there are times when our bodies really need extra energy. Here are four tips to keep your snacking on the right track.1. Know why you’re eating. Using food to change your feelings can bea dangerous habit. An order of French fries might distract* you from feeling sad for a while, but it’s only a temporary cure. Once the fries are gone, the problem is still there. If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Call a friend. If you’re feeling stressed, take a 10-minute walk.2. Find a healthy pick-me-up*. If you’re truly hungry, a healthy snack can give you the boost of energy you need. If you like fresh foods, bring a small bag of tomatoes or apples slices to work whit you. To tame your sweet tooth, try a handful of dried fruit. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick-me-up. They have the right combination of nutrients to give you the energy you need. But wait until you’re hungry to find something to eat. Plan ahead and bring something healthy whit you.3. Eat just one serving. Don’t open up a whole box of crackers and start munching away. Instead, pull out just one serving and put away the box.4. Think of snacks as mini-meals. Eating small, healthy snack can keepyou from stuffing yourself at the next meal. Instead of eating three big meals each day, split them into four or five mini-meals. You may actually eat less food overall.Use these tips to help you plan snacks ahead of time. The next time you have a snack attack, tame your hunger the healthy way.Exercise A:a soda or a bag of chips; a piece of cake; a sandwich; a small bag of tomatoes; a small bag of apple slices; a serving of nuts; a glass of low-fat-milk; a serving of crackers, etc.Exercise B:1.

If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Calla friend.4. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick- me-up.5. Eating small, healthy snacks can keep you from stuffing yourself at the next meal. Breakfast fills your “empty tank”to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy-to-prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt *with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night’s pizza!It’s easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine.

Ralph Nader has set a wonderful example of what determined men and women can doto improve the quality of life in their country.B. Listen to a talk about Ralph Nader. Take notes and complete the following outline.Ralph Nader* is a man of few possessions. He owns very little and lives in a small apartment. He doesn’t have a car or a TV set. He doesn’t have many clothes and he doesn’t care about money: when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn’t smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen.When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year.After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed,”which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader’s work, a law was passed tomake cars safer.After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader’s efforts. The first was to ensure the safety of gas pipelines —these are the pipes that take gas across the country from one town to another. The second was to protect people from radiation —that is, the dangerous radiation which may leak from nuclear sources. The third was to ensure the proper standard of poultry — that is, the chicken and turkey meat.Ralph Nader, now one of the most influential people in the United States, has set a wonderful example of what determined men and women can do to improve the quality of life in their country.KeyA. 1.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questionsyou will hear.One shouldn’t always go by* first impressions. In my h ometown there lived a giant of a man with huge hands and a manner so fierce and unfriendly that he always sat alone in any public place. Yet to those who knew him, he was a kind and generous friend. In the same way one should never assume that somebody who looks inoffensive is always going to behave in an inoffensive manner.Recently my young brother, who works for a famous American airline, was reminded of this truth. The plane was overbooked and for once all the passengers turned up. So my brother had the difficult task of choosing three passengers and informing them that they couldn’t travel on the flight in question*.Knowing that the young are generally impatient and often aggressive, my brother chose three elderly travellers, an English couple and a little old American lady.The English couple accepted the situation and went to have a drink while waiting for the next flight. Then my brother approached the American lady, whose name was Mrs. Pepper, with a sad smile on his face, “Mrs. Pepper? May I have a few words? I’m afraid we have a problem.” “A problem? What do you mean, we have a problem, young man?”“Would you like to come into the office?” asked my brother, sensing that this was not going to be easy.“Oh, very well, but only for a moment. I have a plane to catch, you know.”“Er ... yes.” My brother explained the p osition.The little lady looked at him with steely, blue eyes. “Young man,” she said. “I don’t believe you are aware that you are talking to Mrs. Katherine Pepper, widow of General Arnold Pepper, of the United States Army Air Force and I’d lik e to inform you, further, that the President of your airline was a pe rsonal friend of the General’s.In the circumstances I’d advise you to sort this out rig ht away, otherwise you’re going to be in a lot of trouble. Do I make myself clear?”Questions:1. What was the giant man like to those who knew him in the narrator’s hometown?2. Why was the plane overbooked?3. Why did the narrator’s brother decide to choose elderly travellers?4. What did the English couple do while waiting for the next flight?5. How did the little old American lady talk to the young man?6. How do people who look inoffensive behave?7. How did the narrator’s brother talk to Mrs. Pepper?8. Who was Mrs. Pepper?C.

The change in taste increases demand for more grains, especially wheat-based foods.Countries such as Australia and the United States have gained from the increase in demand for wheat. But the increase poses* a challenge for the global food industry in the years ahead to meet the demand.The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says by 2030 two-thirds of the global middle class, or 3.3 billion people, will live in Asia.In Indonesia, the fastest-growing segment* of food is bread. China is importing more barley for beer production and feed grain for the meat industry.In its annual forecast* released in March, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural andResource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) says Aus tralia’s grain and oilseed production will rise over the next five years from 24 million tons to over 42 million.Despite the growth, wheat traders say Australia will not meet the rising demand. That leaves the way open for increased sales from the United States, Canada and the Black Sea region into Asia.B. Listen to the news item again and complete the following sentences.KeyA. 1. Asia’s middle class demands for Western-style food/wheat-based foods.2. They are the United States and Australia.3. China imports barley for beer production and feed grain for the meat industry.4.

You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.It was a beautiful Sunday morning and school teacher Donald Murray was flying his radio controlled model aeroplane near a well-known beauty spot in the south of England. The model had a wingspan of over a metre.Mr. Murray, who built the model himself from a kit, was using a hand held radio transmitter to control the model, when he suddenly noticed two hang gliders circling, some distance from his plane.He at once manoeuvred his model round into a downward circuit and as he did so he suddenly became aware of a third hang glider, which was approaching from another direction.Within seconds the model collided with the hang glider, cutting through one of the support wires. The wings of the hang glider immediately folded and it crashed to the ground, causingserious injury to the pilot.Asked about the condition of his model aeroplane after the accident, Mr. Murray said: “Strangely enough the model wasn’t badly damaged. But I’ve burnt it. I couldn’t possibly fly it again, after that.”Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageTa-Na-E-KaScriptA. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.I opened the door. My grandfather was in the front room. He was wearing theceremonial beaded deerskin shirt which had belonged to his grandfather.“Welcome back,” he said.I embraced my parents warmly, letting go only when I saw my cousin Roger sprawledon the couch. His eyes were red and swol len. He’d lost weight. His feet were an unsightly mass of blood and blisters, and h e was moaning, “I made it, see.I made it. I’m a warrior.”My grandfather looked at me strangely. I was clean, obviously well-fed, and radiantly healthy. My parents got the message. My uncle and aunt gazed at me with hostility.Finally my grandfather asked, “What did you eat to keep you so well?”I sucked in my breath and blurted* out the truth: “Hamburgers and milkshakes.”“Hamburgers!” my grandfather growled*.“Milk shakes!” Roger moaned.“You didn’t say we had to eat grasshoppers,” I said sheepishly.“Tell us about your Ta-Na-E-Ka*,” my grandfather commanded.I told them everything, from borrowing the five dollars, t o Ernie’s kindness, toobserving the beaver.“That’s not what I trained you for,” my grandfather said sadly.I stood up. “Grandfather, I learned that Ta-Na-E-Ka is important. I didn’t think so duringtraining. I was scared stiff of it. I handled it my way. There’s no reason in1947 to eat grasshoppers when you can eat a hamburger.”I was inwardly shocked at my own audacity*. “Grandfather, I’ll bet you never ate one ofthose rotten berries yourself.”Grandfather laughed!“Those berries —they are terrible.” Grand father admitted. “I could never swallow them.I found a dead deer on the first day of my Ta-Na-E-Ka — shot by a soldier, probably — andhe kept my belly full for the entire period of the test!”My grandfather called me to Roger. “You sh ould have done what your cousin did. But I think you are more alert to what is happening to our people today than we are. I think you would have passed the test under any circumstances, in any time. Somehow, you know how to exist in a world that wasn’t made for Indians. I don’t think you’re going to have any trouble surviving.”Questions:1. What was her grandfather wearing when the writer opened the door?2. What happened when she found her cousin, Roger, sprawling on the couch?3.

At the New York’s Convention center, high-tech was at the center stage. It’s ca lled the Big Show for a reason. Thousands of companies, hundreds of thousands of prospective* customers, all here for that one thing that will make the difference.Every screen, every surface is an opportunity to engage. Images can be shared so friends and family can weigh in*. Even the dressing room mirror becomes a vehicle for sales. Intel’s Tyler Hoffman says it’s called the “Memory Mirror.”“It is designed for trying on clothes, shopping for apparel in store, to make that experience digital, social and interactive.”The images can be shared via text*, email or social media.This motion-activated screen by Scala lets prospective customers swipe through watches with a wave of a hand, using technology to get closer to the product.Peter Cheran is the chief technical officer of Scala.“It’s novel*, it’s fresh, it’s engaging, it’s easy to use. It’s what people are expecting out of technologies from their video games, from their smartphones.”A simple idea, a flat service has become a platform for media display.Jerrard Shiffman invented the Perch interactive system.“Over the entire store, every surface can become, you know, a platform for media display. Because the way that people consume media now, it’s on their iPhone, they’re sort of surrounded by it, so it’s sort of strange in retail stores that hasn’t happened yet.That’s not a media experience.”Ryan owns a surf shop and likes the concept.“It feels like you are working with a 3D smartphone almost. I can see a customer coming up. It’s definitely engaging, you know, you kind of like ... you see the imagery.”Even the old-fashioned scale’s surface has chan ged. The Tellermate* counts the money by weight. In tests we saw, it never missed and it took only a second or two to do its job. It saves time, which equals money.The international retail landscape is expected to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the past 50 years, largely due to new technologies and the internet.Key1.

Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured are either under fifteen or over sixty. The young and elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them, and the infirm, or blind, or disabled people, plenty of time to cross the road.Drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses. Stop when signalled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a Stop-Children sign. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream then in traffic.When coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing. Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop. Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads.

And it creates litter because in the packaging there is a lot of paper, plastic and sometimes polystyrene involved.Part 2 Passage SnackIt’s 3:15 in the afternoon and half the office just stepped out* for a coffee break. Your eyelids are starting to close and 7-11 is just around the corner. A soda or a bag of chips would be just the thing to perk you up*. So you, too, go out for an afternoon snack.Sometimes we eat simply because everyone else is doing it. Other times we eat when we feel tired, bored or depressed. Snacking for the wrong reasons can lead to overeating and unhealthy diet.Of course, there are times when our bodies really need extra energy. Here are four tips to keep your snacking on the right track.1. Know why you’re eating. Using food to change your feelings can be a dangerous habit. An order of French fries might distract* you from feeling sad for a while, but it’s only a temporary cure. Once the fries are gone, the problem is still there. If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Call a friend. If you’re feeling stressed, take a 10-minute walk.2. Find a healthy pick-me-up*. If you’re truly hungry, a healthy s nack can give you the boost of energy you need. If you like fresh foods, bring a small bag of tomatoes or apples slices to work whit you. To tame your sweet tooth, try a handful of dried fruit. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick-me-up. They have the right combination of nutrients to give you the energy you need. But wait until you’re hungry to find something to eat. Plan ahead and bring something healthy with you.3. Eat just one serving. Don’t open up a whole box of crackers and start munching away. Instead, pull out just one serving and put away the box.4. Think of snacks as mini-meals. Eating small, healthy snack can keep you fromstuffing yourself at the next meal. Instead of eating three big meals each day, split them into four or five mini-meals. You may actually eat less food overall.Use these tips to help you plan snacks ahead of time. The next time you have a snack attack, tame your hunger the healthy way.Exercise A:a soda or a bag of chips; a piece of cake; a sandwich; a small bag of tomatoes; a small bag of apple slices; a serving of nuts; a glass of low-fat-milk; a serving of crackers, etc.Exercise B:1.

A spokesman for Naftogaz, the Ukrainian state energy company, told the BBC that Ukraine would accept the presence of Russian monitors as part of a broader EU mission to check the volume of Russian gas entering and exiting Ukraine.This appeared on Thursday night to be the key demand from Moscow, the condition on which Gazprom, the Russian energy giant, would agree to turn on the taps.But, even if the deal is accepted by all sides and gas flows to Europe resume, there are still difficult negotiations ahead on the underlying issue that caused the switch-off in the first place: how much Ukraine should pay Russia for the gas it consumes, and how much Russia should pay Ukraine in return, in transit fees. Until that issue is resolved, this crisis is far from settled.Exercise A: Listen and summarize the news item.This news item is about the crisis between Russian and Ukraine in terms of gas supply.Exercise B: Listen again and answer the questions.1. What was the condition on which Russian would agree to resume its gas supply to Europe?Ukraine would allow Russian monitors to check the volume of Russian gas entering and exiting Ukraine.2. When did Russia give that key demand?On Thursday night.3. Would Ukraine accept the deal?Yes, Ukraine would accept the deal.4. What was the underlying issue that caused the switch-off in the first place?The underlying issue was how much Ukraine should pay Russia for the gas it consumes, and how much Russia should pay Ukraine in return, in transit fees. 5. Is the crisis between Russian and Ukraine settled? why?No, it isn't. Until that issue is resolved, this crisis is far from settled.Section Three Oral WorkHow long can anyone live in Germany without a purchase of either a cold stein *of beer or a clock? It didn’t take long for the beer, but my search for just the ri ght clock took a few years.In my search I found a cuckoo clock, an old French Tic-Tac clock, and a gold time piece giving the precise time anywhere in the world. Than came the grandmother clock with the lovely crystal panes*—but still no chiming grandfather clock.Suddenly I received a phone call from a friend. She knew a man whose mother had to move out of her home and furniture was being sold. She asked whether I was interested in a very old clock.I made the trip into the countryside and found a small German home with lovely flower gardens.The family greeted me as a long-lost friend. We had coffee and apple cakes and then we headed for the attic.I knew the minute I saw him—the old grandfather. Surely he would be expensive!I said, “Yes!”We retur ned to our coffee and I asked the big question. “How much?”I paid 45 German Marks in cash, one large can of peaches, a pound of coffee, anda box of Lipton Tea.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPassage 1 World Sight DayBackground Information:Onchocerciasis: A disease caused by infestation with filarial worms of the genus Onchocerca, especially a disease of human beings caused by O. volvulus and characterized by nodular swellings on the skin and lesions of the eyes.
