They hope to show people the many different designs of artificial leg available, raise awareness of what people with disabilities can still achieve and encourage them t lead active lives. At the time of the interview they have only been going for a few days. They have found the hot weather and hilly route challenging, but they feel they are getting fitter day by day. Asked about what they plan to do when they reach Athens, they say they will relax and throw away their bikes! They also joke that their artificial legs are stronger than their real ones! Listening inPassage 1Example answerLet’s do some detective work. The photo shows a plane crashed into some water. I think NY means we are in New York. A plane has come down in the harbour, but it isn’t smashed up so it hasn’t fallen from the sky. Now let’s look at these words: flock of geese, pilot, her o, safely taken ashore and emergency exit. So the pilot succeeded in landing on the water, and the passengers got out. Perhaps they walked along the wings of the plane.Listening and understanding2Answers1 New York2 afternoon3 1554 30 to 45 seconds5 none6 577 293Answers1 there were few injuries2 catch fire3 made a successful landing4 taking in water5 helped into the boats6 were taken to hospitals7 as a hero8 without any engines6AnswersPaul1 zoo keeper2 Al Gore3 making people take climate change seriously4 GreenpeaceClare5 mum, part-time accountant6 Melinda Gates7 co-founding the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation8 Save the children7AnswersThe true statements are: 1, 5 and 7.Presentation skills3Example answerAnd to end the news here’s a story about a college student who saved a young boy from drowning.A 22-year-old student at Foshan University rescued a boy from the Fenjiang River yesterday evening. Wang Jing, a computing student, as she was returning to her hostel after classes, saw a boy struggling in the river not far from the Foshan Bridge. The 10-year-old, Li Yi, had been fishing with a friend when he fell in the water. Wang Jing told our reporter, “I heard a splash, looked and saw a boy in the river. At first, the boy tried to swim back to the bank, but then I could see the current was too strong for him. There was no time to think. I just jumped in and swam over to him.” Li Yi, none the worse for his experience apart from a wetting, later praised his rescue, “I was really scared and then suddenly these strong arms took hold of me and took me to safety. I own Wang Jing my life. She’s my hero.”On that positive note, we end the news. Tune in again for our next bulletin at 5.30 pm.Pronunciation4AnswersInterviewer You’re referring to the film, An Inconvenient Truth, I take it?Paul That’s right. That film proved to people – with statistics and graphs, that kind of thing – that climate change was happening and that it’s man-made. Before that, most people believed it was just a few crazy scientists who thought it was happening. Interviewer You work with animals. Do you worry about the effect of climate onanimals?Paul Sure, I do. All these species are going to become extinct. It’s terrible.5AnswersInterviewer We’re asking people who their personal hero is and if they’ve inspired them in any way.Clare That’s an easy one. Melinda Gates, she’s my hero.Interviewer Why’s that?Clare Well, she’s Bill Gates’ s wife, one of the richest people in the world. You know, she could so easily do nothing, just enjoy her money. And instead, she co-founded the um…Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, I think it’s called –and it’s one of the biggest private charity organizations in the world.。

Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviewsA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B: Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy.

This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received.

Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.Key:1.

TTask 2 Are you ready for a phone interviewScript and keyNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you're job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, youshould have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions and key1.

Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resume?3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to thepassage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5.

Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women.I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper? Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen are very low-paying. John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field. Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.John: Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John: Any time, Sue.MODEL2 Do you have any tips for a successful interview?ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly.Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don’t want a completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training. Susan: Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday. John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself. Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from the competition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill: That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don’t believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans.A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow.A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others. A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptVoice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company.T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundred people work at thecompany's call centre in Greenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of themare employed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team managersand 10 operations managers. In a large-scale operation like this, the role ofrecruitment and training is the responsibility of a dedicated on-site human resourcesdepartment.Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role of training. Thetheory behind is, these are the people who are doing the job, are in the best place totrain that job to other people.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to usthat we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possibleto ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they'remade an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'dhave a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, an opportunity to try us on for size.They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company andif they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally.They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hourassessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer serviceability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability tocommunicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have afull age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported (6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people (10)realisticVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy. I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here.M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models. However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We bothgot nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should we chooseyou?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are your weaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

But did you say you just came to this planet?E: That's right! I was traveling space the other day when I met a human being called Yang Liwei. He told me that his homeland on Earth is extremely attractive. So I decided to come here to have a look.H: Wow! You are a real E.T.! Welcome, but I still don't believe it.E: You'd better believe it. I'm a real E.T.! Good to meet you!H: Welcome to Earth. Have you found anything different here?E: Sure. There are so many people, bicycles and cars on the streets that they can hardly move. And the bicycles and cars look like toys. I have never seen them before. We don't need them at all. We can move freely whenever and wherever we want. H: Well, it would be nice not to have traffic jams.E: But it looks like you are enjoying life more than we do. It's beautiful here with all the trees and flowers. I hear that there are lots of interesting places here.H: There sure are!E: And the food you eat attracts me very much, especially the vegetables and fruits.H: Don't you have attractive and tasty foods at home?E: No, we need only electricity.

There were ten people and one ball moving back and forth. Is it called basketball?H: Yeah, that's right. Basketball is one of the most popular sports. Many people here love it. It's not strange that you liked it when you saw it. There are also many other kinds of sports, such as football, tennis and volleyball. All of them are very exciting to us.E: I wish we had exciting sports. We spend too much time on high technology. Everything in our world is controlled by computers and all we have to do is sit in front of them to get what we want and need.H: So, do you play computer games as sports?

My house has a good, clear view of the loch. In fact, it's only about a hundred meters from the lake, and there's nothing but the road in between.Last Tuesday, I got up as usual at about seven o'clock and went into my garden. I looked around, and something attracted my attention on the loch. There was almost no mist that morning, and I could see that there was something moving quite fast, going north, in the middle of the loch. It looked like a giant snake, with its head and part of its body above water, and it was moving very fast. I imagine that it was about thirty meters long. I ran into the house to get my camera, but when I got back it had gone.I waited for about five minutes and then it appeared again, this time nearer the road and my house, so I could see it clearly. I had a good view of it about two minutes and I managed to take several photographs of it. The photographs haven't come out very well, unfortunately, but one or two of them show the creature quite clearly. I suppose the whole incident lasted for about fifteen minutes, because I looked at my watch the last time I saw it, and it said a quarter past seven. I've never seen anything so strangein my life.Exercise 11.T2.F3.T4.T5.F6.T7.F8.FExercise 21.fast north middle2.giant head body3.thirty meters4.camera gone5.five minutes nearerPractice TwoOn April 14, 1868, two ships were scheduled to leave the busy port of New York for Europe. The night before, their captains met and had dinner together. The dinner was very ordinary and certainly neither man knew he would soon have a role in one of the world's greatest mysteries.The two ships left the next morning. Their names: the Dei Gratia and the Marie Celeste. After several days at sea, Morehouse, the captain of the Dei Gratia, sightedthe Marie Celeste, and he immediately recognized that something was wrong. It was not moving and there was no sign of life on deck. Morehouse and a few of his men took a small boat to the Marie Celeste to investigate. They searched every part of the ship and found nothing—not a man, dead or alive, no signs of illness or combat, no disruption. In fact, everything was in good order, as if the crew had left ten minutes before. There was a ten-pound note on a table, with an unfinished letter home near it,a freshly washed stack of clothes in the laundry, and plenty of food and water. These signs of normal, everyday life on an empty ship were the strangest feature of the mystery. What had happened to the captain and crew? If they had been attacked, why was everything still in its place and why were there no signs of a struggle? If they had died suddenly from a disease, where were their bodies?Exercise 11.C2.D3.A4.B5.CExercise 21.alive2.illness3.order4.ten-pound5.unfinished6.freshly7.plenty8.normal 9.empty 10.strangest 11.attacked 12.strugglePractice ThreeEaster Island is one of hundreds of Pacific islands that were formed from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. It is, however, the only one of these islands that carries its own mysteries. First, it is isolated: it lies two thousand miles from the South American coast and fourteen hundred miles from the nearest inhabited island. But more importantly, it is a place where a mysteriouscivilization once flourished, leaving behind more than a thousand huge stone statues as evidence to its greatness. The first Europeans came to the island in 1722, when three Dutch ships landed on Easter Sunday. Since that time, thousands of archaeologists have come to Easter Island to study the great stone statues, some of which weigh over a hundred tons. The archaeologists' work has produced many answers, but we may never understand all of the history behind these stone faces. Even after a century of study, the written language found on the island has not been understood. In addition, no one knows for certain how the stone statues were transported or even why they were built.Exercise 11.T2.F3.T4.T5.F6.TExercise 21.About 1,400 miles2.More than 1,0003.Over 100 tons4.On EasterSunday in 1722 5.How they were transported and why they were builtPractice FourCrop circles are irregular circles that have appeared in farmers' fields across the world, mostly in England.Although crop circles first gained worldwide attention in the early 1980s, the first circles appeared much earlier. There is even evidence of crop circles as early as 1678in Hertfordshire, England. The first reported crop circle in modern times appeared in Tully, England, during 1966.During the summer of 1980, many circles appeared in the English countryside. The phenomenon was centered in the land around the town of Warminster, which was a world-famous UFO hotspot. As the years passed by, more and more circles appeared each year, usually between the months of May and August in the early morning hours. Crop circles spread beyond the Wessex counties of Wiltshire and Hampshire to other parts of England, and then, worldwide. Crop circles are now reported in over 30 countries, including Canada, Hungary, the United States, Japan, and the former Soviet Union. The circles grew more and more mathematically complex, and included rings, lines, squares, triangles, as well as circles.There were various theories about the origin of this strange phenomenon. Dr. Terence Meaden, a British physicist, believed that the circles were formed by electrified wind. He said that electrified air forms mini-tornadoes and spirals down on the fields, causing the circles. However, this theory does not account for the highly complex recent circles that have appeared. Hoaxers are often blamed for many of the circles, especially the more complex ones.Exercise 11.B2.B3.C4.B5.B6.AExercise 21.1980s2.Canada3.rings squares4.origin5.acccount forPart FourSection IThe Bermuda Triangle is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared in this area.Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. But some people believe that there is no mystery to be solved. The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, no explanation is needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes (Flight 19) disappeared on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical explanation as to why they disappeared is that lead pilot Lt. Taylor's compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was lost and simply ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the "mysterious" force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.Part A1.F2.F3.T4.T5.T6.F7.T8.TPart B1.disappeared2.size location3.unusual4.gravity fuel5.blew upSection IICan you name the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?Don't worry if you can't. Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. What makes it even harder is that only one still exists. Six of the Seven Wonders no longer stand, having been destroyed by natural disasters or by humans.The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was originally compiled around the 2nd century B.C. The first mention of the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century B.C. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments of the time. The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list included the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages.Here goes the list: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which has stood the test of time to this very day.Part A1.F2.T3.F4.T5.F6.TPart B1.disasterspiled3.impressive4.reveals5.religion6.structures。

Unit 61.ScriptM: Did you pick up the paper for me today? I really want to check the job vacancies. W: I know, it’s over there. There’s not much happen though. I’ve had a look already.Maybe you should look on the Net instead.Q: What is the man looking for?C) A job vacancy.2.ScriptM: You don’t have enough experience or qualifications for this role. What makes you believe you could handle the position?W: I’m a fast learner and enjoy learning on the job. My natural skills lie in this area, and I’m confident that I could handle the challenge. Given a chance, I would prove myself.Q: What is the woman saying?D) She is quite to learn.3. ScriptM: Could you help me with my resume? Jane said you’re good with these things, andI really need someone to edit it. It’s way too long.W: Sure, no problem. Give it to me. A good resume should be no more than one page, you know. And it should list you experience in reverse chronological order.Q: Which of the following is true according to the dialog?A) A resume should not be too long.4. ScriptM: Could you tell me why you would like to work for our company?W: Well, it has a good reputation as an employer, and its products are quite popular in the marketplace. I would feel proud to work for a company like this and to contribute to its success.Q: Why does the woman apply for the job?C) Because of the company’s good reputation and popular products.5. ScriptW: Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?M: I aim to have been promoted to senior manager at the very least. I’m very ambitious and want to climb the career ladder as fast as possible. I don’t want to feel miserable on the first rung in five years’ time, watching everybody above me. Q: What does the man want in fie years?B) To become a senior manager or higher.III. Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviews.ScriptM:After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realized the importance of getting prepared for an interview.W:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.M: And before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.W: Yes. During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.M: Besides, many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses, especially valuable to the job we’re applying for. W: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.M: Sure! Many students will tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English.W: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, Excel, and so on. Students from lower-tier universities especially need certificates to show they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.M: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.W: Well, too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.M: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done speak for itself.W: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important leader of the Student Union of the University or the Department or you’ve organized a singing competition, etc., obviously you’re a good team player.Key1.T2.F3.T4. T5. F6.T7. TTask2 Are you ready for a phone interview?ScripNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interview. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses in involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you’re job-searching, it’s important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment’s notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you’d better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions. You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it’s at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It’s helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you will be able to hear your “ums” and “uhs” and “OKs”, and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use interviewer’s title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Question and key1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidateson the phone?B) To test candidates’ psychological stability when they speak on the phone.2. What can you infer from the speaker’s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?C) Without it, you may become disorganized while being interviewed.3. What does the speak say about your resume?C) Put it near the phone.4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?A) To reduce unnecessary words in an interview.5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on thephone?D) All of the above.Task3 Do you know how to write a resume? ScriptYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasize the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills an employer is seeking. This means you would write one resume for one particular job and a different resume for another job. In other words, you need to “repackage” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately whether you are suitable person for the job. It is not dishonest to “repackage” yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you t get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range of jobs.Question and key1.Why does the speaker say a resume is important?C) Because it leaves a first impression and you have only one chance to do so.2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?A) Details3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptionsaccording to the passage?A) At the beginning.4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?C) Three.5. What is the passage mainly about?B) Resume tips.IV. Speaking OutGiving tips for a job interviewModel 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: (1) Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women. I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but (2) I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen arevery low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. (3) You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, (4) I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if (5) I can submit my resume by e-mail.John:Wait, (6)have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.Model2Do you have any tips for a successfulinterview?ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, (1) be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. (2) Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive. Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. (3) Many companies don’t want a completely green hand.

You see, (5) ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company. Susan: (6) Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.Model3 Our best bet is to recruit from thecompetition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then(1) our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: (2)We also don’t believe that a rigid management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um… (3) that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people. Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope (4) he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. (5) A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and better things. But (6) can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.ⅤLet’s talkSelecting recruitsScriptVoice-over: T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company. T-Mobile is their goal mobile phone operation.Nine hundred people work at the company’s call centre inGreenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of them areemployed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70team managers and 10 operation managers.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1 Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy. I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here. M: What work experience do you have?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. My primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: What did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. Text knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team spirit as shown in my cooperation with my colleagues.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications had the same qualification, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s answer took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key1.F2.T3.T4.F5.TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this job, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weaknesses?” by the interview, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something relevant but hugely important to the specific positive, and always add something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure to the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirements. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would be applied to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.Question and key1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?C) Getting prepared for questions at a job interview.2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”C) How you can beat other competitors.3.What does the speaker advise you to stress when introducing yourself?B) Your present and future.4.What might the speaker advise you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”A) I don’t have any.5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?D) You should relate your strengths to the job requirements.Viewing and speakingHiring and firing1.

Shop till you drop! 6Unit 6 Shop till you drop!Teaching suggestions and answer keysStarting pointMatch the questions with the answers.1 How often do you go shopping?M ost days I buy food to prepare meals in the students’ home. I prefer to cook food myself ratherthan go to the canteen. Sylvia, Florence2 What do you spend most money on?I buy a lot of music. It’s a hobby of mine, and I like to keep up with the latest bands. Jo, San Diego3 How often do you buy clothes?I usually go clothes shopping at the weekend, although I don’t always buy anything. I probablybuy something once every two weeks. Nadia, Moscow4 Which items you buy are essentials?Cosmetics. If I don’t wear eye make-up and lip gloss, I look awful. Danielle, Paris5 How often do you buy presents for other people?I buy something for all my family and friends at Christmas, although obviously I get presentsthrough the whole year. Toby, London6 Which do you prefer to use, credit cards or cash?M y father doesn’t allow me to get into debt, so I only ever use the money I have in my wallet.Teresa, Buenos Aires7 Do you ever borrow money from friends or family, or from a bank?Sometimes my mother lends me some money if I’ve used up my allowance. Jaime, Lima8 Do you try to save money?Well, I try, but I’m not very successful! Judy, Sydney158Shop till you drop! Unit 6Active reading (1)1 Work in pairs. Discuss which kind of shopping you enjoy most.Examples:•going to the shopping mallI like going to the mall because it’s clean, modern and interesting, but sometimes things are moreexpensive.•home shopping on televisionI know the idea is that you see things on TV and then buy them by phone or email. It’s useful if whatyou see is exactly what you want, but remember those programmes are really just adverts.•online shoppingT his can be a good way to buy things at bargain prices. I know someone who actually makes money bybuying and selling on the Internet. However, you need to be careful with online transactions; sometimesthe goods never reach you.•mail order catalogue shoppingI’ve never done this myself, but I’ve heard that buying clothes and household items this way is reallyfast because a good mail order company sends things immediately. Sometimes what you get may notlook like the item in the catalogue photo, but it’s easy to return things you don’t like and get a refund.2 Read about the people below and decide if their behaviour shows retail therapy or shopaholism.1 S andra has an addictive desire to shop. Shopping gives her a sense of temporary satisfaction followedby a feeling of shame which can be relieved by going shopping again. She feels lonely and has low self-esteem, especially as she is spending too much money and is in debt.Sandra’s behaviour shows shopaholism. She seems to be a shopaholic.2 R ose goes shopping to make herself feel more cheerful, especially if she is feeling slightly depressed orunhappy. She has a pleasurable experience and feels better afterwards, and regards shopping as a bit likegoing to the doctor for some medicine.Rose treats shopping as retail therapy.159Unit 6 Shop till you drop!160Retail therapy or shopaholism?Background informationThis passage is a magazine or newspaper article for general readers. It focuses on shopping addiction – shopaholism – and its causes and effects. The term shopaholic is similar in word formation to the words workaholic and chocaholic, and shopaholism can be regarded as harmful. While many people like shopping and sometimes feel that shopping can be retail therapy when they are under stress, shopaholics can suffer severe financial and social-psychological consequences. The passage suggests some solutions and practical steps which shopaholics can take.Culture pointsYou get into debt by spending more money than you have; so you end up in debt and the debts may accumulate. You can get out of debt by paying off or repaying what you owe. If the creditors (the people or companies to whom you owe money) decide that you no longer need to pay, then the debt is written off, or cancelled. The 2008 “credit crunch”, in which American and European banks found they couldn’t pay their debts to other banks and had been over-lending by giving mortgages to people who did not have the means to pay, shows how heavily some Western societies have relied on systems of debt.Language points1 I get a real buzz when I hand over my credit card … (Para 3)The word buzz here means “a strong feeling of pleasure, excitement or achievement”, eg I get a real buzz out of travelling.2 ... but it’s not good when someone loves shopping so much that they go into debt or worse, bankrupt.(Para 4)G oing bankrupt means that someone – or a company – has officially admitted that they have no moneyand cannot pay what they owe. This is a serious situation in law. If they become solvent again, they can clear their debts. Notice some metaphoric uses: intellectually bankrupt (a person or group with poor ideas or lacking in real thought) and morally bankrupt(a person or society with very poor moral standards).3 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (Para 5)Shopaholism refers to the general condition or “illness” of being a shopaholic – someone who enjoys going shopping even when they don’t need anything and cannot pay for what they buy. Sufferers may not recognize the effect of their shopping behaviour (they “avoid reality”), they cannot control their spending habits (“a loss of control”), but think they are free to spend the money they don’t have (“an illusion of freedom”). Shopaholism may bring a temporary feeling of well-being and distract the person from the worries or anxieties of everyday life, but sufferers often feel guilt or shame. Doctors and psychologists use the medical term oniomania to refer to shopaholism and they would advise the sufferers to be treated.4 … to shop till you drop … (Para 5)This means to keep on shopping until you are exhausted. Then you drop, or fall down.5 … they take it one day at a time. (Para 11)The expression take it one day at a time is used when you are in a difficult situation or have such severe problems that you can only plan and act for the present, and adopt the step-by-step approach.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Reading and understanding3 Answer the questions.1 What is unusual about Linda, Kate and Carina’s attitude to shopping?The scale of their shopping is unusual; they spend a lot on shopping.2 What are the dangers of shopaholism?The dangers are debts and eventual bankruptcy.3 Who does shopaholism affect?It can affect anyone, though it usually affects women.4 What are the causes for shopaholism?T he causes include the fact that shopping appears attractive and exciting, that many young people feelanxious and lonely, angry or lacking in love and in need of comfort. Also it’s easy to obtain credit.5 What should you do if you’re a shopaholic?F irst, you should admit that you have a problem and work out why you are shopping so much and whatis missing in your life to make you behave like this. Then you need to find an alternative activity whichgives you pleasure and take practical steps, like destroying your credit cards and only buying what’s onyour shopping list.6 Do Linda, Kate and Carina enjoy retail therapy or suffer from shopaholism?A ll the three of them enjoyed retail therapy at the beginning, but it has become a problem for them andhas developed into shopaholism.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 equal to something else in quality or importance (comparable)2 having no money and unable to pay what is owed (bankrupt)3 a strong feeling of wanting to have or to do something, especially something that is bad for you(temptation)4 a short journey that you take for pleasure (excursion)5 someone or something that is different in some way from other people or things and so cannot beincluded in a general statement (exception)6 the process of becoming fit and healthy again after an illness or injury (recovery)5 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box.1 When you buy clothes, there are often two labels, one which shows the price and the other, the makeand other information.2 When researchers claim something a fact, it’s because it’s true.3 Someone who is fashion-conscious likes to wear clothes which are very up-to-date.4 To do something with ease means doing it without any difficulties.5 Something which is the norm is usual or expected.161Unit 6 Shop till you drop!6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to makeother changes.1 When the three main symptoms of shopaholism are put together, it becomes an addiction. (combined)2 A rough guess at the amount of what Victoria Beckham spends on clothes every year is £100,000.(estimation)3 You may have a false impression of freedom when you’re a shopaholic. (illusion)You may have an illusion of freedom when you’re a shopaholic.4 Most people today consider it normal being in debt.

Look at the sentences from the passage and decide if they show facts or opinions.1 “There’s nothing comparable to the feeling of power and importance I get when I go shopping.”(opinion)2 Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment. (fact)3 Research suggests that shopaholism is a global problem, claiming that 90 per cent of shopaholics arewomen. (fact)4 ... Victoria Beckham spends £100,000 yearly on shopping. (fact)5 But today it’s the norm to have a credit card, and it’s acceptable to be in debt. (opinion)6 What’s more, using a credit card doesn’t feel like spending real money. (opinion)Developing critical thinking9 Work in pairs and discuss the questions.1 Do you enjoy retail therapy, or have you ever experienced shopaholism? Do you know anyone who has?I enjoy retail therapy after exams, but I would rather call it “a celebration” after working hard for solong. I don’t know any shopaholics, but I have read about some. It seems they have a quite normal lifeand then suddenly go mad about shopping. I suppose they have too much stress.162Shop till you drop! Unit 6 2 Do you agree that it’s easy to get credit or borrow money today?Well, banks like to encourage people to use credit cards and to borrow money, because they then canmake money by charging you interest on what you borrow. But I don’t agree that it’s easy to get credit,at least it isn’t for students. Even if you can get credit the bank will give you a low credit limit so thatyou can’t spend too much.3 Who should take the responsibility for an addiction to shopping, the individual, the shop or theconsumer society?This is a complex question. The individual shopper is responsible, really, but addicts will always find itdifficult to control themselves. Shops may have some responsibility, but it’s the job of shop assistantsto encourage everyone to buy, so that’s what they do. The consumer society gives constant messagesthrough advertising and the media that it is good to have plenty of things, so people are encouraged tobuy. Perhaps we should be careful about these messages.4 Do you think that well-known people who spend a lot of money on shopping are attractive role models?I think if well-known people spend their money unwisely in public, they are surely not attractive rolemodels. We should make judgment by ourselves, instead of just following the well-known people.Talking pointWork in pairs and discuss the questions.1 How has the experience of shopping changed for people over recent years?When I talked to my mother about this, I realized that the experience of shopping in China is generallydifferent now compared to 20 years ago. There are more goods available, and much more choice (egdifferent kinds of food), and many shops are bigger, better and cleaner. We are a lucky generationbecause our parents worked hard for these things.2 How do assistants serve customers in supermarkets compared with traditional shops, eg a grocery?In supermarkets, an assistant usually serves only one person at a time. But traditional shops, eg agrocery, normally have fewer assistants, so an assistant may serve several people at the same time.3 How are goods presented in shops and markets?In Chinese supermarkets and shops, goods are normally presented on open shelves with prices on thewrapped goods or on the boards. This is very much the same in Western supermarkets or shops. Oneobvious difference between a Chinese and Western supermarket or shop is that there are more assistantsin a Chinese supermarket, perhaps because there are more people and customers in China.4 Do people say “please” or “thank you” when they go shopping?In Chinese, saying “please” or “thank you” is perhaps less common than it is in English for day-to-day shopping – this may surprise English speakers (or speakers of many European languages) who areused to using these expressions every time they go shopping. But visitors to China should not assumethat using fewer of these expressions means that Chinese people aren’t polite! There are many ways ofshowing politeness, apart from using these social formulae.163Unit 6 Shop till you drop!164Active reading (2)1 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 When you shop, do you prefer to go with someone or to go alone?If I am shopping for clothes, music or something like a camera or a mobile phone, then I would prefer to go with my friends, because they can help me to choose things. If I am shopping for food, then it doesn’t matter if I am alone, but still I usually go with friends.2 How often have you been shopping with a boyfriend or a girlfriend?Well, I don’t have a partner just at the moment. If I had, then I expect we would go shopping together quite a lot.3 Who likes shopping more, men or women?I think that generally women are more choosy and more patient than men, so women perhaps enjoyshopping more than men. On the other hand, I know some men who love shopping, so I suppose it may also depend on individual personality.4 What are the risks of shopping with someone who is not enjoying it as much as you are?The main risk is that they will become bored or impatient, so I would try to go to a shopping place where I know there will be something interesting to them.2 Read the passage and decide if:1 the writer is a man or a womanA woman, because the writer talks about women using “we”, but talks about men using “he” or “yourboyfriend”.2 the writer is addressing men or womenWomen, because the writer says “your boyfriend”, “You are the princess of High Street retail outlets, the Queen of the shopping mall!”, “trying on a new skirt” and “your poor, broken man”.How to shop with your boyfriendBackground informationThe style of the passage is that of a light-hearted magazine article for young women, which offers advice about shopping with men. The humour comes through the use of informal language, such as footie (football), telly (television), a chap (person / guy), yeah babe (yes, dear), and the exaggerated perception of shopping (for men) as an endurance test or a total waste of time, the far-fetched comparison between men and ancient hunter-gatherers, waiting outside the changing rooms as one of the most dangerous activities in the world, the colour which will provoke a citizen’s arrest, and chewing the carpet (this is not literal).The passage can be used for understanding the style of a magazine article and thus for learning different writing styles. This can be important for Ss in their future career if they need to write articles for different readers.Shop till you drop! Unit 6Culture pointsShopping is the general activity of going round different shops, looking at or looking for various things. This would normally include buying something, but not so if something is not available or you can’t find exactlywhat you want. So buying is usually, but not necessarily, part of shopping. Window shopping would normally mean just looking at items in the windows, even when the shops are closed. On the other hand, you can buy something without going shopping, eg through mail order, the Internet, or responding to a newspaper advert.In the passage, men prefer buying (they want a result), while women prefer shopping (the process of looking, searching, trying on and trying out).A league is a group of sports teams or players who regularly compete against one another, put in order according to how many points they have won. The Premier League in England is the group of the very best football teams (there are other groups in lower leagues). At the end of the football season, the team with the most points is at the top of the league and wins the Premiership Cup. Other European countries have similar systems, eg Series A in Italy.Language points1 … where we saw something fashionable or of incredibly good value … (Para 1)Something of incredibly good value refers to an unbelievable bargain.2 Men don’t get this. (Para 2)The word get here means “to understand something” in informal usage, eg Finally, I got the joke, I don’t get what you mean, or Oh, I see ... yes, I get it.3 It’s because he knows no one can shop single-handed. (Para 4)The expression to do something single-handed means that it is done by one person without help from anyone else. This joking comment implies that the boyfriend understands that women need someone to help them shop. They can’t go shopping alone because they need support.4 ... he’ll demonstrate his total conviction about your sense of fashion. (Para 5)The boyfriend will give favourable comments and support whatever his girlfriend likes or dislikes by talking about her sense of fashion. This will make her feel good, like the princess or the Queen.5 … the only answer is in the affirmative … (Para 6)The main idea of this paragraph is the humorous comment that the boyfriend will always agree with what his girlfriend likes, so ask him yes / no questions instead of either / or questions because he won’t want to risk disagreeing with his girlfriend by answering “No”.6 He won’t want you to be uncertain, because it will simply be confirmation of his expectations aboutwomen. (Para 8)He expects women to be uncertain – a stereotype – but he doesn’t want his girlfriend to be uncertain. He doesn’t want his girlfriend’s behaviour to confirm the stereotype.7 You see … (Para 9)This expression is used when you are explaining something.165Unit 6 Shop till you drop!166 8 Even you know the colour will provoke a citizen’s arrest or frighten the children when you walkdown the street wearing it. (Para 9)A citizen’s arrest is an arrest made by a member of the public, rather than by the police, who believessomeone has committed a crime and takes them to the police. This is humorous exaggeration: Wearing a bright colour is not actually a crime nor will it frighten children.9 … peer through the changing room curtains to try and spot him chewing the carpet ... (Para 10)The word chew means “to use your teeth to bite something into small pieces so that you can swallow it”.The exaggerated expression chewing the carpet gives an image of the boyfriend’s extreme boredom or frustration.10 … when he sees you, out of hearing, at the cash desk looking for all the world as if you’re about tobuy something. (Para 11)If you are out of hearing, you can be seen but not heard because you are too far away. The expression for all the world is used for emphasis, meaning “exactly as if”. The sentence means the girlfriend makes the boyfriend think she is buying the item of clothing, but actually she is just asking for a different size.11 … your man run the full range of human emotions from A to ... well, B. (Para 12)The expected expression here is “from A to Z”, meaning “through the entire range of emotions”. By saying from A to B, with the hesitation word well, the writer makes a joking critique of the range of emotions that men feel – very limited.12 “Oh, it’s just my luck.” (Para 13)This means “It’s bad luck”, which is said after something bad has happened because you think you are not a lucky person. This is similar to “It’s just my fate” or “It’s fate”, which is said as if you accept a difficult situation because you think you cannot change it. These expressions are not exactly the same as “Bad luck”, which is said to show sympathy if someone fails to do something.13 … you must reward your boyfriend with beer and the footie on the telly. (Para 14)Footie, or footy, is a short form for football. Like telly(television), it has the informal suffix -ie or -y.These forms are especially common in Australian English, where they are usually used to show affection or positive attitudes: kiddie (child or kid), brekkie (breakfast), veggies (vegetables), comfy (comfortable), undies (underwear), townie (a town person), greenie (a person who is concerned with the environment), smoothie (a smooth talker, or a cold drink made with blended fruit).Reading and understanding3 Choose the best way to complete the sentences.1 The difference between women and men when they shop is (a).(a) women enjoy the process whereas men need a result(b) women like hunting but men don’t(c) men think it’s a waste of time, but women like to waste time(d) men enjoy more dangerous activities than shopping2 In the past men used to go hunting only when they needed to, so today (c).(a) he goes shopping to show his affection(b) he only enjoys shopping reluctantly, in order to please his girlfriend(c) he shops when he needs to and is in a hurry to get home quickly(d) he goes shopping because he doesn’t want his girlfriend to spend too much money3 It’s important to ask for your boyfriend’s opinion (a).(a) because he’ll make you feel good about your fashion sense(b) even though he knows he might not give you the answer you want(c) as long as you ask him long, complicated questions(d) if you want him to take a genuine interest4 If you intend to buy something, (d).(a) try not to make your boyfriend bored(b) you’ll only confirm your boyfriend’s expectations about women(c) be careful because it’s one of the most dangerous activities in the world(d) make quite sure it suits you and fits you before you tell your boyfriend5 Make sure you’re kind to your boyfriend by (b).(a) watching his face when you buy something and taking him home to watch football(b) rewarding him with beer and football(c) asking if he has the clothes in a different size(d) making him wait a long time outside the changing roomDealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 very interesting (fascinating)2 the ability to continue doing something difficult or unpleasant (endurance)3 to take hold of something roughly (grab)4 an individual thing (item)5 the feeling of being very interested in something or excited by it (enthusiasm)6 a strong belief or opinion about something (conviction)7 the word “yes” or a sign that you agree with something (affirmative)8 the proof that something you believed is definitely true (confirmation)5 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box.1 I think you’re a very good chap to go shopping with your girlfriend.2 When a woman finds something which suits her, she’s not simply a woman, she becomes a princess.3 It’s important not to provoke your boyfriend by spending too long at the shops.4 Your boyfriend will not cooperate with you if you spend all day shopping and buy nothing.5 For some women, the sheer excitement of a day’s shopping is almost too much to bear.6 The football commentator screamed wildly when Italy scored.1676 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 incredibly good value Is it extremely good or not very good value?It is extremely good value, or an unbelievable bargain.2 Men don’t get this. What does get mean in this context?It means that men don’t understand this. The word get means “to understand” or “to appreciate” here.3 snack What kind of meal is a snack? A large meal or a quick meal?It’s a quick meal, something small and light to eat, or a small amount of food eaten between meals.4 checkout What do you do at the checkout?Checkout is the place where you pay for the goods before leaving a supermarket or a large shop. It isnormally near the door of a shop.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.Many women like to wear clothes which are (1) popular at a particular time. The problem is their boyfriends (2) don’t often enjoy shopping. So before you leave home, it’s important to have specific(3) plans about what you hope to achieve. While you’re shopping, it’s (4) essential to get your boyfriendto show he’s (5) approving when you choose something new. You can visit as many (6) shops as you like, as long as you buy something. When you get back you should (7) show your kindness by allowing him to(8) drop into a comfortable chair, drink beer and watch television.

Look at the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.1 You are the princess of High Street retail outlets, the Queen of the shopping mall! What does thissuggest about the self-confidence of the shopper?It suggests that the shopper is very confident indeed and is the centre of attention. She feels she is incomplete control and probably the boyfriend will respect and admire her like a princess or the Queen.2 Trying clothes on while your boyfriend is waiting outside the changing room is one of the mostdangerous activities in the world. Why is it so dangerous?Because there is a high risk that your boyfriend will get bored and frustrated. He thinks there shouldbe a result and you should buy something in the end. But you are simply trying clothes on for fun andprobably have no intention of buying anything.168。

I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the importance of health, they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. / I don't think this will be true.

Food pills may become more popular, but I don't think they can be a substitute for normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they should not be the standard food because they are not as healthy as real food. Besides, we are accustomed to eating different kinds of food with different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we could only eat food pills. / I think this prediction will be true.
