Conversation 1:RACHEL WRIGHT: Penelope was born here under water six weeks ago. Her mother says after four difficult births, she wanted to try something different.JANE ATTENBOROUGH: My first four deliveries were quite complicated, with epidurals and lots of intervention, and this time I had the water birth and it was wonderful. She is a little darling, very calm, and I’m sure that’s part and parcel of having a baby in the water.RACHEL WRIGHT: Jane’s midwife, who helped bring Penelope into the world, has delivered many babies under water.JEAN PATERSON: A baby won’t breathe under water, there is an instinct, the diving instinct which, er, makes the baby hold its breath until it, until it surfaces.RACHEL WRIGHT: Babies at this Aqua Tots class don’t seem to have any problem holding their breath. Some of them are as young as three months old. And all appear to be able to swim above and below the water, even if they don’t always enjoy the experience. But not everyone believes this is instinctive. Dr Ruth Gilbert has done extensive research into water births, and says that although it’s hard to prove water births are more dangerous than other types, she thinks women should be aware of the risks.DR RUTH GILBERT: We know that there are cases of babies drowning of nearly drowning, and that’s because they, they breathe as they’re being delivered before they get to the surface of the water. Now, one way to try and reduce that risk is to bring the babies to the surface of the water very quickly, but we know ther e’s cases of that causing traction on the cord, and several cases of snap, the umbilical cord snapping during delivery.RACHEL WRIGHT: But despite these warnings, proponents of natural childbirth still believe all possible options should be available to expectant mothers.BELINDA PHIPPS: I think that every single woman should be offered the opportunity to use a birth pool, certainly in labour. Some women will then want to go on and have a baby, their baby born in water. I don’t know how many that’ll be, we don’t have the research, we don’t know that, but at least women need to have the choice.RACHEL WRIGHT: Every birth has an element of risk, but mothers like Jane here tell me that even if there is the tiniest risk of serious injury, the benefits of a water birth make it all well worth it.

It’s sweetening the fruit and even producing a rare sight in an English vineyard: bunches of fully ripened, lush, black grapes. But the important thing about this year’s weather is that it’s done to the flesh of the grape. The warm but relatively moist summer means ther e’s plenty of juice in them, and the hot sunny September means that that juice is very sweet. The two things, a recipe for a tasty and full-bodies wine.TOM HEAP: There are actually fewer bunches on the vine this year, Rainstorms in July spoiled some of the yond buds, so the plants put more effort into the fruit that remains. Nature has made more sugar which fermentation turns to alcohol.MAN 1: We’ve had a very, very god ripening period at the end of the year which has meant that we’ve got beautifully ripe grapes, lots of flavor, lots of character, and some of the wines that are in these tanks are going to rival some of the best wine produced in Europe this year.TOM HEAP: There’ll only be proof, of course, when it’s ready to drink next summer. TOM HEAP: And this is a typical proving ground. London’s Crescent Wine Bar doesn’t currently stock English wine. It’s going to be a hard sell.WOMAN 1: Er, I don’t think I’ve ever drunk English wine.MAN 2: Why would you buy a wine for yourself you know nothing about with a very bad reputation?WOMAN 2: You think of England, you think of ale, cider. You don’t think of wine. MAN 3: So if you give a bit of air, swirl it round …TOM HEAP: But the critics think our palates could be in for a surprise.MAN 3: On the dry white wines, we’re going to have wines with a lot more flavor, a lot more intensity, which is, which is wonderful. They’ll still be fresh and crisp but they’ll have a lot more fruit flavor, which is, which everybody likes. And this year we’re going to make some nice reds, which makes a change, so you’ll be able to have some good reds for once.TOM HEAP: Less than one per cent of the wine drunk in this country comes from our own vines. The growers’ fervent wish is that this good vintage will change the image of English wine and permanently boost consumption, even when the weather is not so kind.

TPassage 1:Since we've been discussing alternative fuels lately, I wanted to pass on to you some information I read about a new fuel that's been in the news a lot lately. It's called A-21. It's composed of water and a chemical known as naphtha. It seems to be a very promising fuel because it's much cleaner than the gasoline that we use today. That's not to say that it doesn't pollute, but it is cleaner. A-21 isn't like some other alternative fuels that require completely new types of engines. A-21 still works in regular, everyday combustion engines - like the ones in cars with onlyminor mechanical modifications. So changing over wouldn't be a big deal. You may doubt some of these claims as many researchers have. Some people feared that because it contains about 45% water, it would freeze in the winter. But a small amount of antifreeze was added to it, and that seems to have solved the problem. A-21 has recently undergone street tests in buses in Reno, Nevada. So far it seems to work just fine. This is a good thing, especially in Nevada, because the state government there has passed a law requiring that a large percentage of vehicles in Nevada run on alternative fuels. A-21 should help.Key:1. alternative2. composed3. promising4. pollute5. minor6. claims7. 45%8. added9. undergone 10. vehicles Passage 2:I'm glad you brought up the question of our investigations into the makeup of the Earth's interior. In fact, since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time, let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about it. There were several important discoveries in the early part of this century that helped geologists develop a more accurate picture of the Earth's interior. The first key discovery had to do with seismic waves, remember they are the vibrations caused by earthquakes. Well, scientists found that they travelled thousands of miles through the Earth's interior. This finding enabled geologists to study the inner parts of the Earth. You see these studies revealed that these vibrations were of two types: compression or P waves andshear or S waves. And researchers found that P waves travel through both liquids and solids, while S waves travel only through solid matter. In 1906 a British geologist discovered that P waves slowed down at a certain depth but kept travelling deeper. On the other hand, S waves either disappeared or were reflected back, so he concluded that the depth marked the boundary between a solid mantle and a liquid core. Three years later another boundary was discovered - that between the mantle and the Earth's crust. There's still a lot to be learned about the Earth. For instance, geologists know that the core is hot. Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of volcanoes, but we're still not sure what the source of the heat is.Key:1. Earth's interior2. vibrations caused by earthquakes3. liquids and solids4. reflected back5. the source ofPassage 3:Our electric car is the way of the future.Automobile manufactures are under the pressure to develop cars that do not pollute.One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year 2000 10%of the new car sales in the state be so-called zero emission vehicles.These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into the atmosphere.California is a huge market for the automobile companies.So they are working hard to meet these standards.So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative. So the biggest advantage of electric cars is that they don’t pollute.However they will be in competition with gas powered cars.And that’s where the weaknesses come out.The big problem is that the batteries in electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver.For instance in one electric car the batteries weigh four hundred kilograms and they provide enough energy to go 250 km before recharging,which take 8 hours.Compare that to a moderately fuel efficient conventional car it can go 400--700 km on a tank of gas.And refilling takes just minutes.If there are other drains on an electric car’s batteries besides a motor,headlights,air-conditioning or a heater,its already limited range would be significantly reduced.So automobile engineers are trying to make more powerful batteries that would increase the car’s range and make them more attractive to buyers. Key:1. pollute2. whatsoever3. alternative4. competition5. weaknesses6. weigh7. efficient8. refilling9. significantly 10. range Passage 4:When you have a biscuit with your cup of tea do you dunk it? And if so, what's the perfect way to do it? That's the subject of today's Science in Action report. It may be hard to believe but scientists at the University of Bristol have been analyzing this question. And after a two-month study they devised a mathematical formula fordunking biscuits. So no more melting chocolate, or biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your cup, which is the fate of one in four biscuits that are dunked in tea, according to research by a biscuit manufacturer.Doughnut dunkers don't face the same problems because doughnuts are held together with an elastic net of protein gluten. This substance allows the doughnut to absorb liquid without breaking down its structure. The structure of a biscuit, however, is held together by sugar which melts when placed in hot tea or coffee.So what is the answer? The researchers, led by Dr Len Fisher, discovered that holding the biscuit in a horizontal position—or "flat-on"—has a significant effect on the amount of time that a biscuit can stay in hot liquid before falling apart. In fact this horizontal dunking results in a dunking time up to four times longer than traditional vertical dunking.What's the reason for this? It seems that the answer is related to diffusion, in other words, the length of time it takes for the liquid to penetrate the structure of the biscuit. Basically, it takes longer for the liquid to travel through the channels of a biscuit when it is laid flat on the surface of the liquid. Also the fact that when a biscuit is dunked horizontally, with the biscuit submerged in the liquid, and the chocolate coating staying out of the liquid, the chocolate helps hold the biscuit together. Another factor influencing the equation is the temperature of the tea – the hotter the tea, the faster the sugar melts.The researchers also found that by dunking a biscuit into tea or coffee, up to ten times more flavour is released than if the biscuit is eaten dry. So it's worth experimenting yourself. If you are wondering how you can perfect the horizontal dunk, the researchers have come up with an idea for a biscuit-holding device to make dunking biscuits easier. They are even now working on producing a table giving guidelines on dunking times for different types of biscuits.On that note, I think it's time to go off to the canteen for a tea break!Key:1.

His father is a worker and he is often ill. Tommy hopes to be an artist, but everybody says it is impossible for him to be an artist and makes fun of his family and his dream. But Tommy never gives up (放弃).One day, he heard there was a drawing competition the following week, and anyone aged 13 and up was welcome. The winner would get 10,000 dollars and some art equipment (设备). He thought for a minute and decided to take part in the competition.That week seemed like the longest week in his life. Every day when he got home from school, a pencil and a piece of paper were the first things in his hands. Then, the day of the competition came. He finished his drawing quickly.After two weeks, Tommy got a letter. Tommy was too afraid to open the letter. At last, he opened it slowly. Just as he read it, he began crying (哭). However, they were not tears (眼泪) of sadness... They were tears of happiness.1.Tommy hopes to be______.A.a workerB.a doctorC.a writerD.an artist2.The underlined words”makes fun of”means______in Chinese.A.嘲笑B.支持C.夸奖D.创造3.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A.The winner could get about 1,000 dollars.B.The winner could get some art equipment.C.Young boys couldn’t join in the competition.D.Anyone under the age of 13 could join in the competition.4.What did Tommy first do when he came back home before the competition?A.Practice drawing.B.Finish his homework.C.Cook dinner for his father.D.Watch news about the competition.5.What can we learn about Tommy from the end of the passage?A.He could never become an artist.B.He was sad because he didn’t win the competition.C.He was happy because he won the competition.D.He didn’t win the competition but he was still happy.CIn today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even have lost their lives for it. Money does have a great effect on the poor, but if a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, real friendship, health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words “I love you”, but can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means “give”, not “ take”. Health and a long life are precious(宝贵的)things for every person. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”. Of all the people who live longest in the world, few of them are millionaires. Real friendship can’t be bought, either.In a word, where money is worshiped, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with and no one to cry for.1.What’s the most pleasant thing in the writer’s opinion?A. Money.B. Health and a long life.C. Friendship.D. Love.2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

To make you a happy person.B. To have someone to laugh with or cry for.C. The money you have.D. Your opinion about money.DWhat will things be like in the year 2080? No one knows. But it is fun to have a guess at it.Let’s make this a story about you in the year 2080. Our story will beabout one day only. You wake up at seven in the morning. You get dressed. Guess what the clothes are made of? Paper? Glass? Or something we don’t even know about today.The breakfast is no work to fix. Why? The food may be ready for eating. Now you start for work. But you don’t go by car. You step onto a moving sidewalk. It moves you along to a train station. There you take a train. How will it run? On one rail high over the street? Or will it ride in air? Three o’clock comes. Your work is done for the day. “ I’ll call John , a friend of mine , “ you say.John answers the picture phone. You and he can hear and see each other.“What shall we do this Saturday?” you ask. “ Shall we put on our rocket belts and take a short trip?

The UN agency LJNESCO made a promise in 2015 that every child in the world is to receive primary and secondary education within the next 14 years. Now there are 263 million who do not go to school. Around 25 million of these might never get an education The agency says a lot of work needs to be done to find enough teachers for schools. The most teachers are needed in sub-Saharan__(撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa and Southern Asia.The UN report warns that there are not enough teachers in countries with rising populations. This makes it harder to find enough teachers. It says,”Without quick and continuing action, the situation will become worse in the face of rising need for education.” UNESCO is also worried about the quality (质量) of teachers in some countries.

I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is veryimportant though it is not everything.So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.Audio Track 3-5-7I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.Listening Activity 4: Audio Track 3-5-8/Audio Track 3-5-9New graduates talk about the futureAfter the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I hada summer job in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.Jennie Min talked about her plans:I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New Y ork to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:Wow! Four years really went fast. I c an’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers.

Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years.

课时分层作业(十三) Section Ⅰ(建议用时:35分钟)[高考题型练习提能力]Ⅰ.阅读理解AJ. K. Rowling turned another year older this week. Born Joanne Rowling, J. K. Rowling is, of course, her adopted pen name. Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a pseudonym(笔名). So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker J. K. Rowling was born.That's the interesting fact about Rowling, apparently, and she can only fool some of the people some of the time.Back in 2013, a crime novel appeared on the shelves. It was entitled The Cuckoo's Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraith's bio, he spent “several years with the Royal Military Police” and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, “grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends.”Only, upon further review, he didn't! The book was actually penned by J. K. Rowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media in whom she placed her trust, shared the secret on Twitter. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning the betraying of trust.I'm not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long,if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author,Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big revelation, her book jumped all the way to No. 1!More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, she's pretty good at her craft!In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor.【语篇解读】本文主要报道了J.K. Rowling用其他名字写书这一秘密暴露一事。

Although it hasn,t always been easy, and there have been many challenges, 18 months later.Mark is still living this way.“The first few months were hard.” he admitted. “ If you think about how annoying it is when you just move your house or change a job , imagine changing everything at once.But after several months, it became very easy.Mark,s remarkable journey is recorded in his new book, The Moneyless Man, which explains that human society is fairer, happier and more secure when relationships are not influenced by money.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。
Unit Five1、Background Introduction“工作狂”这三个字,怎么都不觉得是褒义词,但我又认为发明这个词的人一定是带有某种感情色彩的,那到底应该是什么呢?先说工作狂是幸福的。
既然工作着,说明找到了自己的领域,还能狂,表示投入了很大的精力,所以捎带也就提高了业务水平,增加了求职升职的砝码。
甚至很多人和朋友聊天时也是三句不离本行,醉心于工作的点点滴滴。
一个工作狂,大多是他主动要成为一个工作狂,懂得工作并快乐着,时不时忙里偷闲一番,工作不但不会摧垮身心,反而会成为快乐生活的滋补品。
我们开始工作的第一天算起,工作究竟是为了什么?开始是为了生存,后来是为了兴趣,最后暂且说是理想吧。
毕竟最初的梦想最后又当真在做的人少数,那些人是幸福的,我相信他们有足够的激情完成自己的工作。
我相信工作狂一定是要有所平衡的东西,如果你觉得电视剧能让你更全情地投入工作,当然也可以选择看电视。
只是担心那些总想趁年轻一再透支健康的人,难道真的除了工作能一言不发?还是在日常生活中给自己一些奖励,去喜欢的餐馆大吃一顿,或者经营一下与家人的关系,陪太太到喜欢的商店逛逛,这样多好。
其实我们的社会还是很需要工作狂的,但我们也要看清,太多的人用全部的努力,不过换来了普通的生活。
如果就像两个爬山,一个人永远向往远处的风景,一个人却始终留意欣赏路边的风景,谁更辛苦呢?由此可见工作狂不等于“过度工作者”,工作狂能够在工作中享受人生。
