The ideas that we offer to parents are kind of a third position in5960which we’re looking at equals, where parents and children are different butequal.6162Q: What about changes in the male-female roles?63T: Society has changed a lot. As well as technology leading to great changes,people’s roles have changed very much, in particular the women’s movement has 6465very much questioned the role of women and led many women to demand a freer choice66about who are and how they can be. There’s a lot of frustration with how men67haven’t changed, and it seems to me that the more the frustration is expressed68the more stuck in and being the same men are and we need to find ways of appreciating69men for the amount of work that they have to do in being bread-winners and providersfor families and appreciating the efforts men are making to be more involved with7071their children.72Q: Are there any changes you would like to see in the attitude to family life in Britain?7374T: In the past there were arranged marriages and I wonder if part of having75an arranged marriage is know ing that you have to work at it to create the love76and that now people are getting married out of love and there’s a kind of feeling77that your love is there and it will stay there forever and we don’t have to work78at it and when it gets tricky we don’t know how to work at it and so we opt out.I think helping people learn to work at their relationships to make their7980relationship work would be a significant thing that I’d like to see happening.81Part III Family life then and now8283A.

But these9394days there really isn’t the family life that we used to have. The children seem 95to do more as they like whether they know it’s right or wrong. Oh, things arevery different I think.9697Question: What was your parents’ role in family life?98Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn’t do a tremendous amount in the house, 99but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, 100in the Nursing Association collecting money for it.

My father’s wage I think was about two pounds a week and I supposeour rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know as rent was --- I’m going 105106back a good many years.

I think today 112people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything, which we 113didn’t. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn’t have 114a television or even a radio and we would play games in the evenings rather thanhave conversation, I think.115116Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days?117Josephine: Oh yes, I do think so, yes.

I’ve seen recently that 1998 is going to g o down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that’s going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting the coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched.E.

More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He’s appealed to the federal government to treat t he incident as a national calamity.

The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping parts of Europe during the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall brought flooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport. Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in France announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are lowbecause emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III. EarthquakesA. Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started. Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters from the rubble. Electricity, gas and water supplies have also been seriously disrupted. Experts believe that the country will be hit by more quakes during the next 48 hours.C.I. A. Sunday/ the 23rd B. in southern ItalyII. A. at least 400 B. many more than 400III.

Listenthisway听力教程第二册unit1原文Unit 1 Under the Same Roof Part II A birthday present Tape script John: It's super, Mary. It's just what I wanted. Mary: Well, I know you said your old calculator was no good any more. John: Well, it wasn't that it was no good. It just wouldn't do all the things I need to do at work. And it certainly wouldn't remember telephone numbers for me like this one. Mary: I suppose you're going to start putting in numbers straightaway. John: I've put in one while we've been chatting. I've put in our solicitor 's number. You know how often I need to call him on company contracts. Mary: So what others are you going to put in? John: Well, number one. Accountant , I think. Mary: The company's accountant? John: Yes. Now just let me put in the number. That's it. Mary: And number two, the bank. John: OK. Bank. Now, that's 345674. Oh...And number 3, the doctor. Mary: Yes. His number's er, let me think. 76763. And then the dentist, of course. John: What's that? Number 4, isn't it? Dentist. Mary: Yes, the number's 239023. I remember, because I rang yesterday about Robbie's appointment. John: That's fine. And now -- the garage . 757412. Mary: And then how about the station number? You're always hunting around for that in a panic. John: Yes, you're right. What is the number anyway? Mary: Oh, I can't remember. I'll just look it up in the telephone directory . John: All right. Now, number 7, the flower shop, I think. Yes, florist. And that's 989024. Oh, I mustn't forget the new London office number. So that's number 8, new London office. Mary: John, here's the station number. 546534. John: 546534. Thanks. Now that was number 6 on my list. Mary: How far have you got now? John: Well, I've added a couple more. The next one will be 9. Mary: What about Bill and Sue ? John: No, I can alwaysremember their number. But I always have to look up John and Jane's number. What is it? Mary: John and Jane ... John and Jane (I)know,21463. John: OK, 21463. John and Jane. And one more perhaps? Mary: The hairdresser? John: Why do I need the hairdresser's number? No, I thought this was my pocket calculator. Oh, I tell you one number we do need quite often -- the sports club ! Mary: the sport club! John: Great minds think alike! OK, number 10. Sports club. And that's –Mary: 675645. Mary: 675645. Well that's enough for the moment. I think. Now, as it's my birthday, what about taking me out for a meal ? Mary: I don't think I can remember the telephone number of our favorite restaurant. Part III. Family life then and now Tape script:Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see…in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate . Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem todo more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think. Question: What was your parents' role in family life? Josephine: Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house , but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it. We had somebody who looked after us and then we also had someone who did the cleaning. Gertrude: Well, we lived in a flat, we only had three rooms and a bathroom. Father worked on the railway at Victoria Station and my mother didn't work obviously.My father's wage I think was about two pound a week and I suppose our rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know aw rent was – I'm going back a good many years. We didn't have an easy life , you know, and I think that's why my mother went out so much with her friends. It was a relief for her, you know really. Question: Did you have a close relationship with your parents? Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn't feel that way, we didn't think about it very much I don't think . I think today people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything, which we didn't. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn't have a television or even a radio and we would play games in the evenings rather than have conversation, I think. Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days? Josephine: Oh yeas, I do think so, yes. We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own. Statements: • 70years ago young people often smoked and drank in front of others. • Apart from a great deal of work outside, Josephine's mother also looked after her children and did the cleaning in the house. • Gertrude's father earned two pounds a week. • Gertrude's family had to pay ten shillings a week for their flat. • Young people seventy years ago deeply felt that they did not have a very close relationship with their pare nts. • Nowadays people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything to them.

I remember he had beautiful red curls (mm)…my mother used to coo over him. One day a friend and I played, erm,barber shop, and erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down)… That's right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother was so upset, and in fact it's the first…I think it's one of the few times I've ever seen my father really angry. Man: What happened to you? Woman: Oh…I was sen t to my room fro a whole week you know, it was terrible. Man: But was that the sort of pattern, weren't you close to your brother at all? Woman: Well as I grew older I think that er I just ignored him… Man: What about … you've got an older brother too, did … were they close, the two brothers? Woman: No, no my brother's just a couple of years older than I … so the two of us were closer and we thought we were bother very grown up and he was just a … a kid… so we deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time. Man: What was he doing down there? Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work … And, erm, I didn't, I can't even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married. But I re…I do remember that later on my mo ther was showing me pictures of his wedding, ‘cause my mother and father went down there to the wedding, and er, there was this guy on the photos with a beard and glasses, and I said, “Oh, who's this then?” ‘cause I thought it was the bride's brother or so mething like them (mm) … and my mother said frostily, “That … is your brother!” (laughter) Questions for memory test: • According to the passage, how many brothers does the lady have? • When the sister saw her mother coo over her youngbrother how did she feel? • What's her father's reaction when he got to know that the sister had cut off her younger brother's hair? • How old was her younger brother when she left home? • Where did her brother eventually live? • Who was the buy on the photos with a beard and glasses?

Lesson 2Section ONE:Task 1: Film EditingInterviewer: Is film editing a complicated job?Film Editor: Oh yes, a lot of people probably don't know how complicated a job it can be. It's far more than just sticking pieces of film together.Interviewer: How long does it take to edit a film?Film Editor: Well, it depends. You can probably expect to edit a 10-minute film in about a week. A 35-minute documentary, like the one I'm editing at present, takes a minimum of four to five weeks to edit.Interviewer: Can you explain to me how film editing works?Film Editor: There are different steps. 'Synching up', for example.Interviewer: What do you mean by synching up?Film Editor: It means matching sound and pictures and that is usually done by my assistant. The film and the sound tape have numbers stamped along the edge which have to be matched. The details of the film and the sound are also recorded in a log book, so it's quick and easy to find a particular take and its soundtrack. This operation is called logging and is again done by my assistant.Interviewer: So what do you usually do yourself?Film Editor: A lot of things, of course. First, I have to view all the material to make a first selection of the best takes. There's a lot of film to look through because to make a sequence work the way you want, you need a lot of shots to choose from.Interviewer: Does that mean that you have to discard sequences?Film Editor: Oh yes. On average for every foot of edited film, you need twelve times as much unedited film and therefore you have to compromise and, of course, discard some of it.Interviewer: What do you do after selecting the material?Film Editor: First of all, I prepare an initial version of the film, a 'rough cut' as it is called. That means that I actually cut the film into pieces and stick them together again in the new order.Interviewer: And after this 'rough cut' what happens?Film Editor: Well, after the 'rough cut' comes the 'fine cut' when the film takes its final form. The producer and the director come in for a viewing. Some small changes may then be necessary, but when the 'fine cut' has been approved by everyone, this is the final version of the film.Interviewer: At this point is the film ready for distribution?Film Editor: Oh no. After the final version of the film has been approved, there is the dubbing, there are voices, music, background noises and sometimes special effects to be put together for the soundtrack. And after the dubbing, the edited film is sent to the 'neg' cutters.Interviewer: What do the 'neg' cutters do?Film Editor: They cut the original negatives on the films, so that these match the edited film exactly. And after all that comes the best part—I can sit down quietly with my feet up and enjoy watching the film!Man: Hi.Woman: Hi.Man: What'd you do last night?Woman: I watched TV. There was a really good movie called Soylent Green.Man: Soylent Green?Woman: Yeah. Charlton Heston was in it.Man: What's it about?Woman: Oh, it's about life in New York in the year 2022.Man: I wonder if New York will still be here in 2022.Woman: In this movie, in 2022 ...Man: Yeah?Woman: ... New York has forty million people.Man: Ouch!Woman: And twenty million of them are unemployed.Man: How many people live in New York now? About seven or eight million?Woman: Yeah, I think that's right.Man: Mm-hmm. You know, if it's hard enough to find an apartment now in New York City, what's it going to be like in 2022?Woman: Well, in this movie most people have no apartment. So thousands sleep on the steps of buildings. (Uh-huh.) People who do have a place to live have to crawl over sleeping people to get inside. And there are shortages of everything. The soil is so polluted that nothing will grow. (Ooo.) And the air is so polluted they never see the sun. It's really awful.Man: I think I'm going to avoid going to New York City in the year 2022.Woman: And there was this scene where the star, Charlton Heston, goes into a house where some very rich people live.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: He can't believe it, because they have running water and they have soap.Man: Really?Woman: And then he goes into the kitchen and they have tomatoes and lettuce and beef. He almostcries because he's never seen real food in his life, you know, especially the beef. It was amazing for him.Man: Well, if most people have no real food, what do they eat?Woman: They eat something called soylent.Man: Soylent?Woman: Yeah. There's soylent red and soylent yellow and soylent green. The first two are made out of soybeans. But the soylent green is made out of ocean plants. (Ugh.) The people eat it like crackers. That's all they have to eat.Man: That sounds disgusting.Woman: Well, you know, it really isn't that far from reality.Man: No?Woman: Yeah. Because, you know the greenhouse effect that's beginning now and heating up the earth ...Man: Oh, yeah, I've heard about that.Woman: ... because we're putting the pollutants in the atmosphere, you know?Man: Mm-hmm.Woman: I mean, in this movie New York has ninety degrees weather all year long. And it could really happen. Uh ... like now, we ... we have fuel shortages. And in the movie there's so little electricity that people have to ride bicycles to make it.Man: You know something? I don't think that movie is a true prediction of the future.Woman: I don't know. It scares me. I think it might be.Man: Really?Woman: Well, yeah.Section Two:Task 1: American IndiansThe native Americans, the people we call the 'Indians', had been in America for many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people 'Indians'.The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them; they taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts; they introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians.But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. The Indians had to move back into the centre of the continent because the settlers were taking all their land.The Indians couldn't understand this. They had a very different idea of land from the Europeans. For the Indians, the land, the earth, was their mother. Everything came from their mother, the land, and everything went back to it. The land was for everyone and it was impossible for one man to own it. How could the White Man divide the earth into parts? How could he put fences round it, buy it and sell it?Naturally, when the White Man started taking all the Indians' land, the Indians started fighting back. They wanted to keep their land, they wanted to stop the White Man taking it all for himself. But the White Man was stronger and cleverer. Slowly he pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that he didn't want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably.By 1875 the Indians had lost the fight: they were living in special places called 'reservations'. But even here the White Man took land from them—perhaps he wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or he even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the White Man.There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the White Man. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the White Man is good and brave. But was it really like that? What do you think? Do you think the Indians were right or wrong to fight the White Man?Task 2: New AustraliansInterviewer: Today, there are more than 15 million people living in Australia. Only 160,000 of these are Aborigines, so where have the rest come from? Well, until 1850 most of the settlers came from Britain and Ireland and, as we know, many of these were convicts. Then in 1851 something happened which changed everything. Gold was discovered in southeastern Australia. During the next ten years, nearly 700,000 people went to Australia to find gold and become rich. Many of them were Chinese. China is quite near to Australia. Since then many different groups of immigrants have gone to Australia for many different reasons. Today I'm going to talk to Mario whose family came from Italy and to Helena from Greece. Mario, when did the first Italians arrive in Australia?Mario: The first Italians went there, like the Chinese, in the gold-rushes, hoping to find gold and become rich. But many also went there for political reasons. During the 1850s and 1860s different states in Italy were fighting for independence and some Italians were forced to leave their homelands because they were in danger of being put in prison for political reasons.Interviewer: I believe there are a lot of Italians in the sugar industry.Mario: Yes, that's right. In 1891 the first group of 300 Italians went to work in the sugarcane fields of northern Australia. They worked very hard and many saved enough money to buy their own land. In this way they came to dominate the sugar industry on many parts of the Queensland coast. Interviewer: But not all Italians work in the sugar industry, do they?Mario: No. A lot of them are in the fishing industry. Italy has a long coastline, as you know, and Italians have always been good fishermen. At the end of the nineteenth century some of these went to western Australia to make a new life for themselves. Again, many of them, including my grandfather, were successful.Interviewer: And what about the Greeks, Helena?Helena: Well, the Greeks are the fourth largest national group in Australia, after the British, the Irish and the Italians. Most Greeks arrived after the Second World War but in the 1860s there were already about 500 Greeks living in Australia.Interviewer: So when did the first Greeks arrive?Helena: Probably in 1830, they went to work in vineyards in southeastern Australia. The Greeks have been making wine for centuries so their experience was very valuable.Interviewer: But didn't some of them go into the coalmines?Helena: Yes, they weren't all able to enjoy the pleasant outdoor life of the vineyards. Some of them went to work in the coalmines in Sydney. Others started cafes and bars and restaurants. By 1890 there were Greek cafes and restaurants all over Sydney and out in the countryside (or the bush, as the Australians call it) as well.Interviewer: And then, as you said, many Greeks arrived after the Second World War, didn't they?Helena: Yes, yes, that's right. Conditions in Greece were very bad: there was very little work and many people were very poor. Australia needed more workers and so offered to pay the boat fare. People who already had members of their family in Australia took advantage of this offer and went to find a better life there.Interviewer: Well, thank you, Mario and Helena. Next week we will be talking to Juan from Spain and Margaret from Scotland.Section Three: \Task 1: Learning to Predict:(1) A: It doesn't sound much like dancing to me.B: It is; it's great.A: More like some competition in the Olympic Games.C: Yeah.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water snails listened politely. And the water beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon fly passed by. 'You're a very fine frog,' she sang, 'but why don't you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You'll find a lot of frogs there. You'll meet some fine fish, and you'll see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!''Perhaps it is rather dull here,' thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon fly.But he didn't like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn't like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, 'I don't like it here. I think I'll go home tomorrow.'But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Key to Exercise:Lesson 2Section ITask1: Film EditingA.True or False Questions.1—4: TFTFB.Fill in the following blanks to give a clear picture of what needs to be done before a filmis ready for distribution.1.

More about the topic:cell phone: A new Health Risk?More than 20 million handset were shipped world-wide last year for the fast-growing digital cellular phone market. According to the US marketing firm Dataquest, production of GSM(Global System for Mobile communicaations) handsets will exceed 60 million by 2000.The mobile phone is getting more and more popular because of the remarkable improvement of the world's mobile communication service. by the end of this year, there will be 178 GSM networks in 110 countries. providing extended geographic coverage in the form of "roaming agreements" among GSM carries.But since the very day it came into being the mobile pnone has been a mixed blessing.People are worried that it can mean a new health risk.According to scientists from 10 countries who met in Vienna recently. mobile phones may heat up you brain, interfere with heart pacemakers and cause cancer in miceBut there is no scientific evidence to support fears that the ever-increasisng use of mobile phones may threaten human health.The group did agree to intensify research into radiofrequency electromagnetic fields(EMF),which emanae from mobile phones.This is something that we hold as a hing priority.we want to find out if these electromagnetic fields do produce cancer." said and EMF expert," this is going to take time, i know everyone wants answers tomorrow but this is just not possible."the EMF project, lauched last year, is a five-year $3.3 million programme to study possible health hazard stemming from exposure to mobile phones and other EMF sources.What will the experts of the EMF projects tell us four or five years later? We just don't know.Will there be the possibility taht one day you find a cell phone carrying a warning similar to the one we have seen too often on cigarette packs:USING MOBILE PHONE MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH? No one can tell at the the moment.Memory test: Two girls Talking on the phone.Clara: That number has been engaged for ages.Nobody can be that popular. i wonder ifher number's been changed. i think i'll try again(Dialling)Sue: 3346791Clara: Is that you sue?Sue: Who's callingClara: This is Clara, Clara Fulkson.

How many coins did the caller insert?4. How long haven’t the two girls seen each other for?5. How many why’s ,how’s and where’s can you rememberf? Place a tick by all the questions you can rember.Can I take a message? (2)Part 1 G etting readySome telephone calls will not get through without the help of an operator. For example, a person-to-person call and a collect call, which will be paid for by the person who receives it. Sometimes a long distance call and an overseas call will also be connected by operator if it is not a direct call.A. The following words and phrases will appear in this unit. All of them are related to the telephone and some are frequently used when giving and receiving phone calls. Listen carefully and studied the definitions.1. person to person call2. collect call3. go through4. operator5. hang up6. information7. answering machine8. exchange9. touch tone telephone10. IDDB. Here are some short conversations on the phone. Please listen and supply the missing words.l —Hello! I have a collect call from Calvin Leon, will you accept the charges?—Sure. Put him on.l —Operator!—Operator! I am trying to call 7982294.—That number is outside this zone. It’s a dollar 45 for 3 minutes.—All right. I’ll put in the coins.l —Overseas operator. Which country?—Yes, go ahead.—I’d like to book a call to Venice Italy.—From which date and time?—August 19th at 10 a.m.—What’s your name and phone number?—Robert Smith. 6643639. The number in Venice is 8211083.—We’ll call you when your call is re ady to go through.l —Hello. I have a person-to-person call for Mr. Hawkins from Corey Jones.—There is no Hawkins here. What number are you dialing?—I’m trying reach William Hawkins at 6099525.—That’s our number but you’ve made a mistake.—Sorry for disturbing you.Part 2 Giving and receiving phone callsSometimes, even when a telephone call goes through, the caller is still unable to speak to the person being called. Instead, the call might be answered by a machine. An answering machine answers calls with the tape recording. And many answering machines also allow the caller to record a message. It’s more efficient to leave your name and telephone number than to waste your time calling again and again.A. In this section, you are going to hear several calls that are answered by machines. Listen to the recorded messages. Write down the reasons why each call is being answered by machine instead of a person and the actions you decide to take. Write, W for wait on the line, L for leave a message and C for call back later.( the first call)l This is the Transit Authority’s telephone information Center. We are open daily between 6:00 am and midnight. All our lines are busy now, you will hear ring until the next available agent can assist you.( the second call)l This is call for action. 925-1066. I’m sorry. Our volunteers are not on duty at this time. Please calling a regular hours: 11:00 am to 1:00pm Monday to Friday. Remember the number925-1066. 11:00am to 1:00 pm. Thank you.( the third call)l Hi! This is Charlie. I’m not home now. But if you leave your name and telephone number after the beep. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.( the fourth call)l Hi! This is Pioneer Travel. Specializing in Bicycle Tours of Eastern Europe. All Agents ar e busy now. But your call really is important to us so please stay on the line. One of us will be with you as soon as possible. Thanks.( the fifth call)l Hi! This is Steve. I can’t come to the phone now. I’m taking a shower. So at the sound of the beep, leave a message or just hang up if you want to.Message taking is one of the most useful skills in dealing with telephone calls. A great deal of practice is needed in this respect.B. You are going to hear some recorded phone calls. The first three cal ls are for Mr. Hamiltonand the last one is for Mr. Dobson.1. First listen to some names.Rebecca Evans Ted Paola Andreotti2. Now listen to the calls. While listening for the first time add more key words if you can in the left-hand column. After the second listening complete the messages in right-hand column with the help of the notes.l Look! I can’t stop. Tell HoratioI couldn’t get the red ones but there are plenty of blue, he can see them any time. Oh, my name is Ted, bye.l Well, I was hoping to speak to Mr. Hamilton myself. But perhaps you’ll give him a message for me. Tell him that Mr. Evans of Smith and Wheeler called. They are a few details regarding the sale of his property that we need to discuss.

He can reach you at this number till tomorrow evening. 002-5589847.—That’s right, great.—Thanks , Bob.—Ok, bye-bye.C. Now try this. Listen to the more authentic versions of the calls.Part 3 Oh, there is a phone.If you want to get a telephone call through, you’ll have to know the correct number. Sometimes the information center will help you if the number is not an unpublished one and you know the receiver’s address. If you are using a coin telephone, you’ll have to have some coins at hand.But if the number you dialed is busy, all you effort will result in nothing.A. You are going to hear a conversation in which one of the speakers tries several times to make a phone call, but fails at last. The following vocabulary, which is only acceptable oral English, is used in the conversation. Guess the meaning when you hear these words and expressions. While you listen don’t forget add more key words in the notes column. That will be very helpful for the next section.B. You’re going to hear the conversation again. Answer the following question with the help of the notes.l —Oh, there is a phone. Wait a sec, I wanna call my cousin.—Why do you want to call your cousin?—Because I told her I’d meet her at the bookstore at 12:30, and if you and I are going to have lunch, I’ve got to let her know that I’ll be late.—We’re sorry. We cannot complete your call as dialed. Please check the number and dial again or ask the operator for assistance. This is a recording.—Hmm. I must have dialed wrong.—What’s the matter?—I’ve got a recording. I’ll try it aga in.—We’re sorry. We cannot complete your call as dialed.—I don’t understand that. I’ve called her a million times.—Well, do you have the number?—Sure, but not with me. I’ll call Information.—Directory assistance, what city please?—Boulder, the number for Dorothy Campbell on Cloverleaf.—Wait a moment please. I show a D.J Campbell on Cloverleaf Drive.—That’s it.—The number is 4472023.—Thank you. I don’t believe it. I dialed the wrong exchange. I dialed 477, instead of 447. —Yeah, I’ve don e that too.—Well, let’s try it again.—25cents, please. Please deposit 25 cents for the first one-minute.—Hey, Marilyn, have you got a quarter?—Yeah, I think so.—Never mind. I found one.—Oh, boy. Her phone is busy.—C’mon.. Let’s work to the re staurant. You can try again from there.—Ok. But if I can’t reach her to tell her I’ll be late, I can’t have lunch with you. She’ll kill me if she has to wait for me.—Ok, but I won’t have lunch anyway, so let’s go.C. Now try this. Listen to a more authentic version of the conversation. And decide whether the statements after the conversation are true or false. Put a T or F in brackets.Statements:1. The girls haven’t has supper yet.2. The recording says that the number has been changed.3. The ca ller calls Information for her cousin’s number.4. Dorothy Campbell lives in Cloverleaf Drive, New York.5. The correct exchange is 447.6. The caller is using a cell phone.7. The caller borrows a quarter from Marilyn.8. The call gets through but no one answers the phone.9. The will probably be a telephone at the restaurant.10. The caller’s cousin won’t be angry if she has to wait.Part 4 More about the topic: Videophones call gets the call. Nowadays, more and more mothers go out of their homes and become career woman. More and more extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. Some new problems hence occur. Such as how to make to make sure the kids behave at home. What to do with the lonely grandparents who cannot see their grandchildren often etc. Brilliant scientists rose to the occasion: They invited Videophones.The following short passage is about Videophones. Supply the missing words while listening. l Videophones are now available in British Columbia, Canada. For about 30 dollars a month, you can see and hear the other person at the end of the telephone line. And even call home and use the video camera to check out on the kids or valuables.A subscriber must have a touch-tone telephone. A standard telephone line and a television or computer to connect to the device, which can pan, tilt and zoom. If a VCR is attached, the videophone call can also be taped.But don’t worry that the cameras will start rolling as soon as you pick up your videophone. Both parties must decide to activate the picture. So you can still make faces at your in-laws without them seeing.The videophone can also be activated from outside the home. For those who want to check whether they been robbed or if the kids are behaving. Subscribers dial home, punch in a security code and watch, the at home videophone must be left on for this to happen.The device has been used by health care professional to check up on patients. By grandparents who want to see their grandchildren and by companies for interviewing job candidates.The videophone technology isn’t all new. Videophones were around 61 years ago when German engineers set up 6 booths in Berlin and Leipzig. People could make calls for only twice the cost of a voice-only conversation. AT and T also introduce videophones at the 1964 World Fair, but the idea never took off.Part 5 Memory test: How to make an International Direct Dialing (IDD) call?With the advent of the programme-controlled telephone, you can now make an International Direct Dialing call without the help of an operator. That, of course means great conveniences for the caller. But if you have never personally made an IDD call, you may ask how to begin? If you want to make an International Direct Dialing call, you have to know four things: the access code, the country code, the area code and the local telephone number. For example if you want to make an IDD call to a friends of yours in Sydney Australia from Shanghai at 24661923. First you have to dial China’s Access code 00 and then you dial Australia’s Country code 61, after that Sydney area code 2, and at last the local telephone number 24661923. So the whole number will be 0061224661923.A. Now you’re going to hear some Access, Country and Area Codes. Write down the numbers as quickly as possible.Country or Area Access Code Country Code Area CodeChina 00 86Beijing 10USA 001 1Washington DC 202United Kingdom 010 44Manchester 61Canada 011 1Toronto 416Australia 0011 61Melbourne 3Netherlands 00 64Wellington 4Russia 810 7Moscow 095Japan 001 81Tokyo 3France 19 33Paris 1Germany 00 49Berlin 30Italy 00 39Venice 41B. You’re going to hear some instructions on making IDD calls. With the help of the above table, write down the whole telephone number as quickl y as possible.1. You’re in Venice now; you want to call a friend in Beijing at 4172258.2. You’re in Tokyo now; you want to call a friend in Washington DC at 45543253. You’re in Melbourne now; you want to call a friend in Wellington at 6562008.4. Yo u’re in Moscow now; you want to call a friend in Toronto at 5463242.5.

Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn’t feel that way, we didn’t think about it very muchI don’t think、 I think today people are much closer to theirparents and talk about everything, which we didn’t、 Then,of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn’thave a television or even a radio and we would play games inthe evenings rather than have conversation, I think、Question: Was there more discipline in families in those days?

Lesson 2Section ONE:Task 1: Film EditingInterviewer: Is film editing a complicated job?Film Editor: Oh yes, a lot of people probably don't know how complicated a job it can be. It's far more than just sticking pieces of film together.Interviewer: How long does it take to edit a film?Film Editor: Well, it depends. You can probably expect to edit a 10-minute film in about a week. A 35-minute documentary, like the one I'm editing at present, takes a minimum of four to five weeks to edit.Interviewer: Can you explain to me how film editing works?Film Editor: There are different steps. 'Synching up', for example.Interviewer: What do you mean by synching up?Film Editor: It means matching sound and pictures and that is usually done by my assistant. The film and the sound tape have numbers stamped along the edge which have to be matched. The details of the film and the sound are also recorded in a log book, so it's quick and easy to find a particular take and its soundtrack. This operation is called logging and is again done by my assistant.Interviewer: So what do you usually do yourself?Film Editor: A lot of things, of course. First, I have to view all the material to make a first selection of the best takes. There's a lot of film to look through because to make a sequence work the way you want, you need a lot of shots to choose from.Interviewer: Does that mean that you have to discard sequences?Film Editor: Oh yes. On average for every foot of edited film, you need twelve times as much unedited film and therefore you have to compromise and, of course, discard some of it.Interviewer: What do you do after selecting the material?Film Editor: First of all, I prepare an initial version of the film, a 'rough cut' as it is called. That means that I actually cut the film into pieces and stick them together again in the new order.Interviewer: And after this 'rough cut' what happens?Film Editor: Well, after the 'rough cut' comes the 'fine cut' when the film takes its final form. The producer and the director come in for a viewing. Some small changes may then be necessary, but when the 'fine cut' has been approved by everyone, this is the final version of the film.Interviewer: At this point is the film ready for distribution?Film Editor: Oh no. After the final version of the film has been approved, there is the dubbing, there are voices, music, background noises and sometimes special effects to be put together for the soundtrack. And after the dubbing, the edited film is sent to the 'neg' cutters.Interviewer: What do the 'neg' cutters do?Film Editor: They cut the original negatives on the films, so that these match the edited film exactly. And after all that comes the best part—I can sit down quietly with my feet up and enjoy watching the film!Man: Hi.Woman: Hi.Man: What'd you do last night?Woman: I watched TV. There was a really good movie called Soylent Green. Man: Soylent Green?Woman: Yeah. Charlton Heston was in it.Man: What's it about?Woman: Oh, it's about life in New York in the year 2022.Man: I wonder if New York will still be here in 2022.Woman: In this movie, in 2022 ...Man: Yeah?Woman: ... New York has forty million people.Man: Ouch!Woman: And twenty million of them are unemployed.Man: How many people live in New York now? About seven or eight million? Woman: Yeah, I think that's right.Man: Mm-hmm. You know, if it's hard enough to find an apartment now in New York City, what's it going to be like in 2022?Woman: Well, in this movie most people have no apartment. So thousands sleep on thesteps of buildings. (Uh-huh.) People who do have a place to live have to crawl over sleeping people to get inside. And there are shortages of everything. The soil is so polluted that nothing will grow. (Ooo.) And the air is so polluted they never see the sun. It's really awful.Man: I think I'm going to avoid going to New York City in the year 2022.Woman: And there was this scene where the star, Charlton Heston, goes into a house where some very rich people live.Man: Uh-huh.Woman: He can't believe it, because they have running water and they have soap.Man: Really?Woman: And then he goes into the kitchen and they have tomatoes and lettuce and beef. He almost cries because he's never seen real food in his life, you know, especially the beef. It was amazing for him.Man: Well, if most people have no real food, what do they eat?Woman: They eat something called soylent.Man: Soylent?Woman: Yeah. There's soylent red and soylent yellow and soylent green. The first two are made out of soybeans. But the soylent green is made out of ocean plants. (Ugh.) The people eat it like crackers. That's all they have to eat.Man: That sounds disgusting.Woman: Well, you know, it really isn't that far from reality.Man: No?Woman: Yeah. Because, you know the greenhouse effect that's beginning now and heating up the earth ...Man: Oh, yeah, I've heard about that.Woman: ... because we're putting the pollutants in the atmosphere, you know?Man: Mm-hmm.Woman: I mean, in this movie New York has ninety degrees weather all year long. And it could really happen. Uh ... like now, we ... we have fuel shortages. And in the movie there's so little electricity that people have to ride bicycles to make it.Man: You know something? I don't think that movie is a true prediction of the future.Woman: I don't know. It scares me. I think it might be.Man: Really?Woman: Well, yeah.Section Two:Task 1: American IndiansThe native Americans, the people we call the 'Indians', had been in America for many thousands of years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people 'Indians'.The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them; they taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts; they introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to the turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians.But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. The Indians had to move back into the centre of the continent because the settlers were taking all their land.The Indians couldn't understand this. They had a very different idea of land from the Europeans. For the Indians, the land, the earth, was their mother. Everything came from their mother, the land, and everything went back to it. The land was for everyone and it was impossible for one man to own it. How could the White Man divide the earth into parts? How could he put fences round it, buy it and sell it?Naturally, when the White Man started taking all the Indians' land, the Indians started fighting back. They wanted to keep their land, they wanted to stop the White Man taking it all for himself. But the White Man was stronger and cleverer. Slowly he pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that he didn't want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably.By 1875 the Indians had lost the fight: they were living in special places called 'reservations'. But even here the White Man took land from them—perhaps he wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or he even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the White Man.There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the White Man. Usually in these films the Indians are bad and the White Man is good and brave. But was it really like that? What do you think? Do you think the Indians were right or wrong to fight the White Man?Task 2: New AustraliansInterviewer: Today, there are more than 15 million people living in Australia. Only 160,000 of these are Aborigines, so where have the rest come from? Well, until 1850 most of the settlers came from Britain and Ireland and, as we know, many of these were convicts. Then in 1851 something happened which changed everything. Gold was discovered in southeastern Australia. During the next ten years, nearly 700,000 people went to Australia to find gold and become rich. Many of them were Chinese. China is quite near to Australia. Since then many different groups of immigrants have gone to Australia for many different reasons. Today I'm going to talk to Mariowhose family came from Italy and to Helena from Greece. Mario, when did the first Italians arrive in Australia?Mario: The first Italians went there, like the Chinese, in the gold-rushes, hoping to find gold and become rich. But many also went there for political reasons. During the 1850s and 1860s different states in Italy were fighting for independence and some Italians were forced to leave their homelands because they were in danger of being put in prison for political reasons.Interviewer: I believe there are a lot of Italians in the sugar industry.Mario: Yes, that's right. In 1891 the first group of 300 Italians went to work in the sugarcane fields of northern Australia. They worked very hard and many saved enough money to buy their own land. In this way they came to dominate the sugar industry on many parts of the Queensland coast.Interviewer: But not all Italians work in the sugar industry, do they?Mario: No. A lot of them are in the fishing industry. Italy has a long coastline, as you know, and Italians have always been good fishermen. At the end of the nineteenth century some of these went to western Australia to make a new life for themselves. Again, many of them, including my grandfather, were successful.Interviewer: And what about the Greeks, Helena?Helena: Well, the Greeks are the fourth largest national group in Australia, after the British, the Irish and the Italians. Most Greeks arrived after the Second World War but in the 1860s there were already about 500 Greeks living in Australia.Interviewer: So when did the first Greeks arrive?Helena: Probably in 1830, they went to work in vineyards in southeastern Australia. The Greeks have been making wine for centuries so their experience was very valuable.Interviewer: But didn't some of them go into the coalmines?Helena: Yes, they weren't all able to enjoy the pleasant outdoor life of the vineyards. Some of them went to work in the coalmines in Sydney. Others started cafes and bars and restaurants. By 1890 there were Greek cafes and restaurants all over Sydney and out in the countryside (or the bush, as the Australians call it) as well.Interviewer: And then, as you said, many Greeks arrived after the Second World War, didn't they?Helena: Yes, yes, that's right. Conditions in Greece were very bad: there was very little work and many people were very poor. Australia needed more workers and so offered to pay the boat fare. People who already had members of their family in Australia took advantage of this offer and went to find a better life there.Interviewer: Well, thank you, Mario and Helena. Next week we will be talking to Juan from Spain and Margaret from Scotland.Section Three: \Task 1: Learning to Predict:(1) A: It doesn't sound much like dancing to me.B: It is; it's great.A: More like some competition in the Olympic Games.C: Yeah.

Task 2: Dictation:The Foolish FrogOnce upon a time a big, fat frog lived in a tiny shallow pond. He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water snails listened politely. And the water beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon fly passed by. 'You're a very fine frog,' she sang, 'but why don't you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You'll find a lot of frogs there. You'll meet some fine fish, and you'll see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!''Perhaps it is rather dull here,' thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon fly.But he didn't like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn't like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, 'I don't like it here. I think I'll go home tomorrow.'But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Key to Exercise:Lesson 2Section ITask1: Film EditingA.True or False Questions.1—4: TFTFB.Fill in the following blanks to give a clear picture of what needs to be donebefore a film is ready for distribution.1.

He didn’t know any other students and he didn’t know his way around the building. At 9 o’clock, he was at the main entrance with a crowd of hundreds of other students. All of them seem to know what to do except Steve. Then he found a notice. Rhere was a meeting for all the first-year students. He found them all waiting in the large hall. First, the director of the Polytechnic welcomed them. Then the head of students’ services, and finally the head of physical education.Head of physical education: I’m here to tell you about the sport you can do at the Poly. Here in Edinfton, we have a fitness room where you can doexercises to keep fit, and weekly you can do all sorts of sports, such astennis, football, hockey and badminton. But there was also many otheractivities. You can go sailing. You can go down-caves. You can goclimbing and many more. We hope all of you will take part in at least oneof these. If you want to join, come on weekly on Wednesday afternoon.Any questions?A student: What about swimming?Head of physical education: We don’t have our own pool. But you can swim in the public pools in Hanksy or Muston ferry.After the meeting was over, Steve looked at this timetable. His first class was business studies, and was in room 316. But where was Room 316?Steve: Excuse me. Do you know where Room 316 is?Male student 1: Oh, I haven’t a clue mate.Steve: Do you know where Room 316 is?Female student 1: No, do you?Steve: I’m looking for Room 316.Male student 2: Oh, not another first year. Look at the notice board.Steve: But where is the notice board?Male student 2: Don’t ask me.Steve: Could you tell me where Room 316 is?Female student 2: You mean business studies for Catering students.Steve: That’s it.Female student 2: Oh, I’m looking for it for myself. You’re a first-year?Steve: Yes.Female student 2: So am I. Let’s see if we can find it together.Questions:1. Where was Steve at 9 o’clock?2.

Grammar and vocabulary.2.Video and cassettes. 7. Conversation class. 8. Visit France.plete the following chart:Key (to the chart):C. Listen to the whole monologue. Answer the question: Why can’t I forget the French teacher?(blank-filling)Key:Ques tion: Why can’t I forget the French teacher?Though he was serious and not very friendly, with him I really learned a lot. He was very strict with us. He made us work very hard. Because of the limitation of the teaching facilities, his classes were not very interesting, but he successfully made quite of us begin to like France and French. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages at the university. With him I learned that learning a foreign language is like opening a door or a window into a foreign country. And it helps us to see that the way we do things and think in our country isn’t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.Tapescript:(Part I)Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had for French when I was at school... er... er... Many years ago---- more years than I care to remember, I’m afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in my first year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teacher till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages ---- French and German ---- at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I don’t count Latin, because I never managed to speak any Latin at all. Er, well... this teacher didn’t make it easy... he didn’t make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot.When I think back, I ... don’t really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard ---- I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing ---- er, and he wasn’t very friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didn’t really try to make the classes interesting ---- I mean, no ... no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes ...but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hour’s conversation class every week. But, you know, because of that man ---- some people might say in spite of him ... no, that wouldn’t be fair, no ---- but quite a lot of us began to like France and the French a lot, and, er, to visit France in the summer holidays to see it for ourselves.(Part II)Yes, I think with him I learned that when you learn a foreign language ... it’s it ... well, it’s like opening a door or a window into a foreign country. And that’s good for you, I think, because you begin to see that the way they do things and think in your country is, um, isn’t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.It’s funny, I still have a very clear picture of that teacher. He was English but he didn’t look English somehow, he had very, very black hair and very dark eyes, and he wore glasses with black frames, but you could see his eyes very well, and everyone in the class always had the feeling that he was looking at them. And he had very thick, bushy eyebrows that made him look very, er, very serious.Yes, I remember he was very musical ---- played the piano very well and sang.Now, he was quite a good rugby and tennis player. Great family man, too. He had three children and a very interesting wife. I suppose he must have been in his thirties when I knew him ...Part III Teachers and PupilsA.The advantages and disadvantages of teaching as a jobKey (to the chart):B. The same speech-the second half (note-taking and flow diagram-completing)Key(to the flow diagram):According to Christine, there are two major changes in the relationship betweenteachers and pupils:a)THE QUALITY OF RELATIONSHIP (fill in the blanks.)b)The handing over of responsibility in classroom (Tick the right box.)↓C. The whole speech (answering a question: blank-filling)Key:What makes a good teacher?According to Christine, a good teacher:●enjoys instead of fearing the unexpected things that can’t be planned for;●is a good listener;●is someone that students trust as a person;●teaches students about “the big world” they’re going into, and about relationships andvalues as well as what is written in the textbook;●treats students properly and is able to develop appropriate relationships with students;●is able to take the students into a whole world which is magic and exciting;●really cares for students;●is skillful enough to organizes a well-ordered, relaxed, friendly and supportiveclassroom;●trusts students as individuals;●allows students to know more about him/her as individual;●takes students’ voice on board, and listens to students’ feedback which he/she finds avaluable resource in planning and developing his/her own work;●is able to earn the respect of students, and therefore builds up a relaxed relationship withthem.Tapescript:(Part I)Presenter: Christine teaches in a secondary school. What does she enjoy about being a teacher?Christine: I enjoy the fun you have, I enjoy the ... er ... the unexpected, the things that c...that you can't plan for. When we were at college I think the only thing that they ... they kept on about was planning lessons, and we used to have to make these lesson plans up and they always seemed to me like the great works of modern fiction, thelesson plans, because real lessons aren't like that, they don't work out the way you plan them and that's what makes it really interesting is that you just go in, thinking you're going to do thing A and it turns into thing B, depending on what the students do and say.And they're also so funny, yeah, I mean students are terribly entertaining a ... they're just a hoot. And they ... they come out with all these amazing things and they tell you things. And if you're any good at that they will trust you as a person. And so what you're teaching them in English is much less important than what you're teaching them about "the big world" and the world they're going into, and about relationships and values and things like that.I think the only downside is that it's terribly hard work and it's awfully tiring physically —and emotionally at times. But ... um ... children are just such nice people, and if you treat them properly then they'll do anything. You can ... you can turn them into anything you want if you treat them well and you develop appropriate relationships with them. Then there's very little that they can't learn and can't do, and a good teacher can take children into a whole world which is magic and exciting. (Part II)Presenter: What changes have taken place in the relationship between teachers and pupils since she was at school?Christine: I think that there has been a real change in the quality of relationships, I think they're much more open, more relaxed, less formal. Some people would say that implies a I ... a drop in the standards, I would disagree violently with that. I think that quality relationships bring quality work. And familiarity does not breed contempt,care and control are not opposites. If you care for children you manage your classroom well, and it is a well-ordered classroom, it doesn't mean it is not a relaxed classroom, it's not a friendly classroom, it's not a supportive classroom.What matters is that ... that it's a ... there is a good quality of relationship between the teacher and the student, and the student trusts the teacher as an individual and vice versa. And I think teachers have become more human and more open with their students and are more prepared to allow the students to know more about them as individuals. Students are involved much more in their own progress and their own assessment, they have a voice in their programs of study and their progress. And that voice has always been a vital voice and the teachers who failed to take that on board, who didn't listen to student feedback, were losing out on a whole valuable resource for planning and developing work: it's how the students are receiving the work.And I think one of the big changes has been the handing over of some of the responsibility in the classrooms to children. But it does, I think, demand more skill not less. I think it's much harder to take risks with youngsters, to be open, to be relaxed. It's easy to run an authoritarian classroom, it's easy to rule using t ... f ... fear and punishment and threat. But winning and earning the respect of children, and earning a ... a relaxed relationship and relaxed classroom, that's much harder. A relaxed classroom isn't about low expectations, it's about purposeful quality work. And it's very very hard to achieve, it's much easier to bully them into submission and shout at them.Part IV More about the topic: Computers and University LifePart V Memory test: Children of a DecadeTapescript:Presenter: In this edition of our series “Children of a Decade” I’ll be talking to Jack Thompson, who was born in 1940, and to Shirley Sutton, who was bornin 1930. First of all, jack, thanks for joining us. Perhaps...Jack: Not at all.Presenter: Perhaps you’d tell us about your memories of your first holiday away from home?Jack: Oh... yes... at age ten i think it was, yes, i went to stay with an aunt at the seaside. Well, it wasn’t a very happy experience. I felt very homesick atfirst.Presenter: Mmm. And what about your first day at school, can you remember that?Jack: Yes, I can. Er... er... I was five years old and I wanted to take all my toys with me but... er... they wouldn’t let me. In the end it was agreed that icould take my teddy... er... but only on the first day.Presenter: Oh, I see. Your school days, were they happy ones?Jack: Well... er... I didn’t have a very good time at school—I wasn’t very bright, you see. And the teachers didn’t seem to like me, but...er... I madea lot of friends and some of them I still keep in touch with. One of them Imarried.Presenter: Oh, that’s wonderful. Well, did you have a favorite teacher?Jack: Miss Robinson... or was it ... no, it was Miss Robson. My first teacher, that’s right yeah... very kind. Marvelous storyteller.Presenter: And who was your worst teacher?Jack: Mr. Goodman, that’s right. We used to call him “Goody”. Yeah, he pulled your ear if you made a mistake or talked in class. Yeah, my left ear is stillbigger, look.Presenter: Ha ha. Perhaps you can tell us about your last day at school?Jack: My last day, oh yeah, that’s emblazoned on my mind. Oh, I wanted to get my own back you see on old Mr. Goodman ---- the chap we used to call...er... “Goody” ---- so I put this bucket of water over the classroom doorbut it fell on him and he got soaked, you see. Ha ha. I’ve never seenanyone so angry. Oh, it was a good one, that.Presenter: Thank you very much, Jack. And now Shirley.Shirley: Yes.Presenter: Now, can you tell me about your first holiday away from home? Shirley: Oh yes ... er ... yes ... er ... at the age of eight it was. We went on holiday to the Lake District. We stayed at a little guest house, just me and my parents. Er (I)remember we had ... er ... honey for breakfast with ... er ... the toast and ... oh ... and porridge — I hated it.Presenter: That sounds lovely? Oh, porridge, you hated it?Shirley: Ha ha.Presenter: Well, what about your first day at school?Shirley: Well, I ... I ... I don't remember any special incidents ... er .... Oh, I was very frightened and shy at first ... er ... I ... I know that, I can remember, but I soon came to enjoy school.Presenter: So your school days, were they happy?Shirley: Oh yes, I loved school! Oh, I was sorry when half-term came and ... and when the holidays came. Oh, perhaps this was because I was a bit of a goody-goody. Presenter: And what about your teachers? Did you have a favorite?Shirley: I did, yes. I remember her well, she was called Miss Brown and she was our history teacher. Oh, she really made history come to life, she really did. Presenter: Were there any bad moments? Did you have a worst teacher? Shirley: Aye, I did and I can remember her name too. Her name was Mrs. Sharpe and she taught math. Oh, she had no patience. I wasn't all that good at math and she always said to me, "You stupid girl!" It put me off math for life.Presenter: Oh, what a shame.Shirley: I know.Presenter: Perhaps you could tell me about your last day at school?Shirley: Oh yes, well, I'm afraid I cried. We sang our favorite hymn at the end of the term and I cried. It brought the tears to my eyes.Presenter: Oh, and it's bringing a tear to my eye now. Thank you very much. Shirley: Thank you.Presenter: And thank you too, Jack Thompson, thank you very much. Next week we'll be hearing from two people who were born in 1920 and 1910. So from me, Libby Freeman, good-bye.。

In order to obtain alicence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called “The Knowledge” by London Cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get ‘The Knowledge’. Candidates are examined not only onthe quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learningthe huge street directory by heart.Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pondCome to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, dee p pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favoritecassettes.(3)6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate betweentwo kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern worldBooks belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

Task 2: DictationThe School Holidays Are Too LongToday the children of this country have at last returned to work.After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How manyadults get such long holidaysTwo to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but th e pattern’s the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?Lesson 6Section ITask 1: In the Path of the EarthquakeA.True or False Questions. 1—6: FTFTFFB.Map 1 is a layout of the Skinners’ farm.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate.Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but signlanguage wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In themiddle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3.4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lotof the BBC television programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words andto say them in a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.A 20p a day fine for each book.3.Tahiti.4.No.D.Blank-filling.1.5 pounds, you damage them, entitles you, 2 records at a time,everything available, be much more popular than.2.telephone to renew the books.3.we get back, worth all the bother, some paperbacks in the airport,I’ve been such a nuisance.Section IITask 1: Lessoned World CollegesA.Give brief answers to the following questions.1．On the phone.2．Some information about the college.3．Robert Creighton.4．Julian’s friend in Spain.5．English.6．No. There are scholarships for all colleges, but parents will have to pay too.7．Yes.

But they were just happy the baby was all right. The police rushed the baby to a nearby hospital. Fortunately she was OK.

Jeffrey Zaslow was a better advice columnist than Ann Landers.d. To be an advice colum nist has always been Zaslow’s dream.Script:Jeffrey Zaslow, the advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, grew up in suburban Philadelphia. His biggest ambition in life was to be a writer. “I never wanted to be anything else,” he says. “I was ten or el even when I saw Gone with the Wind and I wrote my own Civil War story.”After earning a degree in creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University, he got a job at a newspaper in Orlando, Florida. He made his mark with his article on the rough working conditions endured by the people inside the Mickey and Minnie costumes at Walt Disney World. Later he became a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal.In 1988, when the famous advice columnist, Ann Landers, quit her job at the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper launched a nationwide contest to find her replacement. Jeffrey Zaslow applied. Among the 12,000 contestants, women outnumbered men nine to one, and most of them had seen a lot more of life than Zaslow, who was 28 and not married. When he reached the semifinals, his editors at the Journal ran a headline: “Why He’ll Never Make It.” But Jeffrey did make it in the finals.Today, thirteen years later, his column, “All That Zazz,” is read by thousands of readers in the Chicago area. His years in the advice business left him with a deep appreciation for people and their problems. He is also greatly moved by the generosity, sincerity and good nature of his readers. “Wonderful people,” he says, “do outnumber terrible people in this world.

Although the men were not aware of it, they had only 100 minutes to get out of the damaged tower before it would crumble to dust.Soon smoke began coming into the elevator. The men realized that something was wrong. They forced the doors open only to find a wall in front of them! The wall had the number 50 on it and they knew they were at the 50th floor. But their elevator normally did not stop there, so there was no opening for them to escape. Jan decided that they would have to make their own.Knowing that the wall was made of a material that could be cut through, Jan grabbed his 18-inch squeegee, and began chopping away at the wall. When he felt tired, others helped. Starting with one small hole, they cut through the three-inch deep wall and then widened it. Then they kicked the wall, two at the same time. The wall cracked apart. They saw before them a 2-by-4 inch metal beam and a tile wall! Refusing to give up, the desperate men bent the beam, knocked a hole through the tiles, then made the opening big enough to squeeze through. Astonished, firefighters took them to the nearest staircase and they ran down flight after flight. By 10:23, when Jan and the others emerged on the street, they had used up 95 of the 100 minutes they had. Five minutes later, the North Tower crumbled.全新版大学英语听说教程(2)学生用书(虞苏美)答案test1，2 答案.docxtest1 1-8bcbcbcab 9-12 dbdc13-15cbd16stocks17exhibition18techniques19activities20research21modem22software23Deliver y time for email from Europe to the USA is about 1o seconds.24 What's really extraordinary about the Internet is the amout and variety of information available.25 Services are also available than allow you to do your banking,reserve airline tickes, and even shop for a Mother's Day,26-28 cdc29-32ccad 33-35bcaTEAT21-8dcdcdbca9-11dda12-15bcbc 16forecast 17unusual 18Fortunaitely19 extreme20rarely21global 22rush23People enjoy discussing the snoe ,complaining about the cold 24Contrary to popular opinion, it does not rain all the time.25 Thanks to the rain,Britain has a richcountryside, which is famous for its deep green color .26-28adb29-31bac32-35cadb。
