After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces leftbetween the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40 percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most between 9a.m. and early afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going strong until 1 or 2 ., so why break the momentum During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to photocopy a memo, or talkingto other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy level from dropping way down.When full alertness returns—around 4 .—you might do a few small projects that give you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize for the next day.The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London. Unlike many scientists, he believes that the world will be a better place in the future. His book, What a Wonderful Life, will be on sale, and Globe sent Reporter Catherine Brown to talk to him. Here is part of their conversation.) Catherine Brown: What changes will we see in the next few yearsAlexander Dubois:Today, work is the most important part of manypeople's lives. In the future, machines will do muchof our work. This means that we'll have more time tothink about how to live happily.Catherine Brown: What developments will there be in medical scienceAlexander Dubois:The day will come when we will eliminate killerdiseases such as diphtheria and typhoid. Also, therewill be fewer babies born with birth defects becausedoctors will be able to operate on children beforethey are born.Catherine Brown:And what about natural resources Will there be anadequate supply of coal, oil and gasAlexander Dubois:Of course! Research shows that there are sufficientresources for the next 20,000 years within onekilometer of the earth's surface.Catherine Brown:Will cities continue to grow and become more and moreovercrowdedAlexander Dubois:No, they won't. People will return to smallercommunities where they can really know theirneighbors and participate in community life.Catherine Brown: Aren't you worried about the possibility of nuclearwarAlexander Dubois: Yes, I am. I expect there will be a nuclear war in thefuture, but it won't end our world. Life willcontinue.Statements:1. Alexander Dubois holds an optimistic point of view for the world's future.2.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.S tudent B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re tot ally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. Tha t’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result fromthe social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoid Ex2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such ascalculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game. So a game, seen later on, might only last hours.Listening 3Ex1: A B A B DEx2: 1)pessimistic 2)doubled 3)coal 4)chickens 5) artificial6)well-designed7)fresher 8)leading 9)unnecessaryScript:What will life be like 100 years from now Some experts are optimistic; others,far more pessimistic. They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized.Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1. What can definitely be said of life in the next century2. What does "many jobs will be 'automated'" mean according to the passage3. What will the influence of automation be upon people in terms of employment4. Is there any possibility hat some jobs will disappear in decades from now Why or why not5. What would the future job market look likeListening 4Ex1: F T T F FEx2: 1) Because they could have a large house and yard there2) The cities have grown larger3) During the last 10 or 15 years of the 20th century4) Because they want to change them into apartment buildings5) It saves people time for traveling back and forthScript:Starting in the early 1900s, many Americans living and working in large cities moved to the suburbs. They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hourseach way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。

The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary money-making machine and finds out how it's changed the lives of countless millions of people who now inhabit "the World According to Google".And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey's university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.It's a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himself created the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you're trying to find out about, say, "Stonehenge", here's what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They're from companies who have picked "Stonehenge" as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for"Stonehenge" might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communication8-6 Role-playingNote them downNote them down-11) C2) B3) A4) B5) CNote them down-21) B2) A3) B4) B5) A6) B7) A8) A9) B10) A8-7 PresentingGet ideas1) Footballers,footballers2) Fire fighters,fire fighters,Firefighters,firefighters3) Doctors,doctors4) Teachers,teachersOrganize ideas1) B2) C3) A4) E5) D6) F1) doctor2) People need special and extensive training to become doctors.3) They relieve our pain, cure our diseases, and save our lives.4) Their work is indispensable to everyone and they cannot be replaced by anyone else.5) footballer6) Footballers' work is to entertain some people.7) It doesn't add any real value to society.8) They make money simply by playing – it's not real work and it's so easy.More practice in listening8-8 More practice in listeningConversationsShort conversations1.

Women’s Rights1Task One: Self-Help Group for WomenWomen constitute approximately 48 percent of the Indian population. But their socioeconomic status lags behind that of men. The majority of women are engaged in sectors that are marked bylow productivity, minimum incomes and low skill levels. In today’s Working Asia Series, Raman Hitkari from Doordashan News in India reports on ordinary Indian women, who are banding together to create a women’s self-help group that will benefit over 1,000 Indian women.This is the real situation of Indian women workers despite the fact that they work twice as many hours as men do. Women in India like any other developing nation look after their household chores apart from working for their livelihood.But with the advent of governmental and non-governmental agencies, things are gradually changing. Women are now becoming conscious of their rights. They are forming self help groups to improve their socio-economic positions.One such commendable effort is taken by a village woman named Phulbasin Bai in Sukul Daihan village in Rajnand Gaon district of Chattisgarh state. Married at 14 and a mother at 15, Phulbasin’s success has not come easy.(Phulbasin)“We were in a joint family. Our economic condition was very bad. After ninth year of my marriage, I thought to do something. I decided to organize women. The first step I took was to sensitize them against the social evil of child marriage. Because I was a victim of that.”It was 2001 the phulbasin decided to organize women. Together they launched a smallbank through micro savings to extend small loans among group members. They also started reinvesting remaining money in profitable economic ventures and decided to keep middle men away from their economic activities.(Phulbasin)“Initially women are hesitant to savings. We decided to save around 20 rupees a month fromour daily expenses. Gradually we could increase our savings to hundred thousand rupees. I am still pursuing women to come forward by joining self-help groups. I also train them to ride bicycle.”The success journey of Phulbasin started on a bicycle has now enlisted support of more than 1000 women, who are now proud members of her bicycle club. Earlier the men in village would frown upon it, but now they have realized and accepted the change. Women riding bicycle is a beginning of social change.(A group member)“Earlier we had a lot of problems from our husbands and middlemen. Now after we joined phulbasin, men in our village are scared of us.”In her village Phulbasin now runs a campaign against illiteracy. She is also running a lunch meal scheme, and handles several health programs. Outside her state, no one would recognize her,but in her village, Phulbasin is the one women turn to.2The story of a very strong-minded and determined woman. Well, in tomorrow’s Working Asia Series, women in Pakistan are also struggling to achieve an equal status with man and a better life. So join us tomorrow for this next report in our series. Task Two: Women in South KoreaWomen in South Korea who work on a freelance basis or as non-permanent employees, are seeking to protect their legitimate rights by establishing a labor union. In today’s Working Asia series, Kim Young Sang, from EBS Korea, explains this long and difficult struggle by South Korean women.At the Intensive Care Unit of a major university hospital, special care provider Ilsun Kim skillfully tends to the needs of a patient. For 24 hours straight, Ilsun is in charge of everything, from nursing duties to everyday chores.Two years ago, that hospital suddenly closed the two special care provider introduction agencies that was operating. Just like that, eighty special care providers were out of work. The hospital claimed it didn’t want to handle complaints abo ut some of the workers.These special care providers were categorized as free-lance employees to whom work was outsourced. Kumja Chong, who has worked for ten years as a special care provider, looked into the matter, and in 2001 founded a labor union.When the hospital decided to close the free introduction agency, the special service providers were working hard, even though they were not officially considered employees. They chose to fight an uphill battle instead of compromising. After that long and difficult fight, they gained more than just their jobs back.The hospital’s labor union has been a strong supporter of the special care providers’ nascent union. It has negotiated with management on behalf of so-called “non -permanent employees,” while discussing policy issues and how to deal with governmental authorities.Even if not recognized by law, if someone labors, then he or she is a laborer deserving dignity. Task Three: Muslim Women in Kuwait(Anchor)The rights of women are the focus of intense debate in one of the most prosperous societies in the world. As Brent Sadler reports, caught between religious beliefs, and modern day social norms, some Kuwaiti women believe time is on their side.(Reporter)In Kuwait a dramatic contest of ideas. Between the past and the present, over the rights of women, inside a Muslim society with some startling contradictions. Between what women want and how they behave. It’s a case of religious conservatism versus a more liberal interpretation of Islam, as you can clearly see inside this popular shopping mall where women browse through western-style boutiques and purchase designer labels.(An unidentified woman)To me, the way I dress here is the same the way I dress in Europe, the States, wherever I am. (Reporter)But while women in Kuwait can drive, work and hold senior government positions, society remains strictly conservative. Wedding parties separate men from women and public schools are segregated after kindergarten. Westerns are often criticized here for interpreting the rules in a bad3light.(An unidentified woman)But its not. Actually it’s like more open than most countries around us.(Reporter)More open that is, than say Saudi Arabia. But still behind the times, says this Kuwaiti lawyer, because women can’t vote or run for office in Kuwait. She’s spent nearly 30 years campaigning for those rights. Aroor Al-Rifaee may dress differently from the lawyer, but sheis no less committed to political reform for women. But all in good time she says, arguing that pressure from the West to move faster is a mistake.(An unidentified woman)This kind of pressure is too much. We don’t want to get our political rights because America wants it. We think that we need it because it’s time for it.(Reporter)An evolution, not revolution, say women here, that could one day give them the same political rights as men.Alicia Silverstone(Reporter)Although it’s a Broadway first for 25-year-old Silverstone, her love of theatre goes way back. She was born and raised in San Francisco, but spent summers in London with her British parents, who took her to West End shows.(Silverstone)I was just leaning over all the time, as I was a kid, so I was just leaning over, watching the show all the time. And at the end, I went backstage to ask. I was always got my program signed. (Reporter)Silverstone started a modeling career by the time she was six. Dancing and acting classes soon followed.(Silverstone)And it was amazing. Now I was like, 12 years old. Studying with these 18, I am the youngest one there, they are all like 15, 16, 18. I was in my element.(Reporter)Some commercials led to her part on the popular “Wonder Years” television show, but Silverstone wanted more. The young actress dropped out of high school, got her GED, and began focusing on a film career.(Silverstone)I was just like at that point, my life sucks, and I hate everything, and I am a teenager, and I don’t have any time for any lesson, this is stupid. And that’s when “The Crush” came along. It was a perfect attitude for the part.(Reporter)She landed the part of the teenager stocker in the 1993 cult film “The Crush”.(Movie lines)4Guy “What are you doing?” “Making lemonade, want some?”(Reporter) At 15, Silverstone got legal permission to leave her parents and moved out on her own. This enabled her to work longer hours on her first big movie role. But it wasn’t untilSilverstone started in a string of popular Aerosmith videos, that she catapulted to teen idol status. (Silverstone)I was the Aerosmith chick, and I was like, I’m an actress.(Reporter)Movie executives were attracted to Silverstone’s California girl looks.(Reporter)In 1995, at 18, she was cast for the lead in a contemporary remake of Jane Austin’s Emma. (Movie lines)Silverstone “Oh, get off of me.”(Reporter)The movie, renamed “Clueless” scored huge with audiences. Silverstone’s betrayal of Cher, a Beverly hills valley girl, made her a star.(Movie lines)Silverstone “You’re about to become compost.”(Reporter)In 1997, Silverstone traded her designer clothes for a batgirl suit.(Movie lines)Batman “And you are?” “Batgirl.”(Reporter)She starred in “Batman and Robin”, the 3rd sequel to the original “Batman” movie. At 18, she became one of Hollywood’s highest -paid actresses. 练习答案Unit 8 Women ’s RightTask One: Self-help Group for WomenExercises:1.
