Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science and technology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider“ 13” an unlucky number. Some peoplein the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles ontheir birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the groundand pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing on'es path?

This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US history since 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such adisaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk … in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked … and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really … because I decided to go further … I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um … anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them … There wasa group –maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er … um, I … I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue … I didn’t move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had!ViewingF = Francesco; M1 = Mamas; M2 = MariaF: Kalimera.

If you go back to it, your teeth and fingers will be nicotine-stained; your breath and clothes will smell smoky.M: I didn't, I swear. Ads showing diseased lungs kept me from starting again.

She's preparing my income tax return, and I need to go over some of the receipts with her.Pamela: Income tax return! Don't you think the government just squanders our hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects?Alan: Sure, sometimes they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don't mind paying taxes. If I'm paying income tax, it means I'm earning money. I'd rather be earning money than living on charity.Pamela: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lower.Alan: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the situation is complex: sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.Pamela: Then they should take the needed training -- upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable.Alan: Training and upgrading cost money. Some government tax dollars are directed to programsthat help the poor get jobs.Pamela: But even when jobs are available, some of the unemployed don't want to work. They would rather have a handout.Alan: It's partly a matter of education. Some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent on charity.Pamela: I think the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would put more money into people's pockets, then they would spend more, andthe spending would create more jobs for the poor.Alan: Many people would agree with you."Alan's accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts with her. Pamela complains that the government just squanders people's hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects . But Alan does not mind paying taxes , saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would be much lower . Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity , but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for . But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable . Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already directed to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs . When Pamela says some of the unemployed don't want to work, preferring to have handouts , Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate . That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.A Professional GamblerIn a bar a guy told the bartender, ""I'm a professional gambler; I've made lots of money from gambling.""The bartender answered, ""I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?"" ""Well, I only bet on sure things,"" said the guy.""Like what?"" asked the bartender.""Well, for example, I'll bet you fifty dollars that I can bite my right eye,"" he said.The bartender thought about it. ""Okay,"" he said.So, the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it. ""Ah, you screwed me,"" said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.""I'll give you another chance. I'll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,"" saidthe stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, ""Well, I can see you're not blind. I'll take that bet.""So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbled up to the bartender and said, ""Bartender, I'll give you one last chance. I'll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.""The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now. ""Okay, you're on,"" he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but not a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, ""Hey, pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!""The guy said, ""That's okay. I just bet the guys in the card room 1,000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but still make you laugh!""" 1. The bartender did not believe that the guy could make a lot of money out of gambling.Fighting Teen SmokingThe percentage of teens who smoked cigarettes dropped to28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. It's a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment may be the discovery of what works to influence teens' motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won't have much effect on teens who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don't start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, more than one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health leaders and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today's young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement." 1. Whatpercentage did the teen smoking rate drop by?Battling PovertyToday I'll be presenting a report on our findings on the condition of the world's population. It may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on less than two dollars a day, and one billion people live on less than one dollar a day.I'm going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issues. We must work fast if we hope to reducepoverty by half, by the year 2015.Our survey shows that the first step should be to improve health-care systems. In the world's poorest countries, people are expected to live just 49 years. One in ten children doesn't reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor health-care systems, especially pregnant women.The second job we have to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. We have found that when given a choice, poor people in developing countries have fewer children than their parents did. A possible reason for this is probably that smaller families have fewer expenses and more chance of increasing their earnings and savings. Since the 1970s, developing countries with lower birth rates have had faster economic growth. They have had higher productivity, more savings and more investment. Obviously we must encourage family planning and lower birth rates.Now, here is the third measure we must take: promote education in developing countries. Investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated women have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. Moreover, they tend to send their children to good schools so that they can climb the social ladder.Held Back Because I Speak SpanishI was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes -- classes of English as a Second Language. I was also put in the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got the highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes.When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to the school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESL classes, but the school fought very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why -- for every student the school had in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive $400. This was pretty devastating. The school's only excuse for keeping me there was because I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program until Iwas in the fifth grade.Then my parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced it. So I didn't have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too ""Spanish"" for them."Drinking, Gambling and GolfA man was walking in the city when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum, who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.The man took out his wallet , extracted two dollars and asked, ""If I give you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?""""No, I stopped drinking years ago,"" the bum said.""Will you use it to gamble ?""""I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stayalive .""""Will you spend the money on green fees at a golf course ?""""Are you nuts ? I haven't played golf for 20 years!""The man said, ""Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars.Instead, I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.""The bum was surprised,Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.The man replied, ""That's OK.I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf."""Why buy lottery tickets?Charles: Did you hear? Next week's lottery will be 28 million dollars! You got your ticket yet? Joan: I don't buy lottery tickets, and I don't gamble in other ways, either. Lottery tickets are just another way of taxing the poor.Charles: What do you mean by that?Joan: Many of the big spenders on lottery tickets are poor. They are spending money they can't afford to spend.Charles: I just buy lottery tickets for fun. You know... the first prize is a huge amount, and if I won, it would be exciting.Joan: But you don't need the money to enjoy life, so for you it's a game. But when the poor buy lottery tickets, it is often out of desperation.Charles: If they can't afford it, they shouldn't buy the tickets.Joan: But the thrill of a win, of something for nothing, is also addictive, and many people are addicted to gambling.Charles: You must be right. Casinos are opening everywhere, and many people go on gambling holidays -- you can even takea gambling cruise.Joan: Imagine being on an ocean cruise and spending all your time indoors bent over a card table or a roulette wheel.Charles: Maybe there should be some programs to help people overcome their gambling addictions, something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.Joan: There's indeed an online program that can help. But nobody can force gamblers to join it. They must first want to be cured themselves."Humanity is indivisibleKofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations:Peace must be sought above all because it is a condition for every member of the human family to live a life of dignity and security.We have entered the third millennium through a gate of fire. If today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better and we see farther, we will realize that humanity is indivisible.New threats make no distinction between races, nations, or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or status. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all, in pain and in prosperity, has gripped young and old... because beneath the surface of states and nations, ideas and language, lies the fate of individual human beings in need. Answering their needs will be the mission of the United Nations in the century to come. Thank you very much."。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says thatin Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and beca use that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generatio n to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know – but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europefor the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek. How was your weekend?M: OK. And yours? What did you do?I: I went for a walk. It was great!M: Who did you go with?I: With my boyfriend, Diego. He’s a football player.M: Oh. Where did you go?I: By the river. It was really beautiful.M: That sounds good.Part 2I: And you? What did you do?M: Oh, I played football; cleaned the flat.I: Who did you play football with?M: With some guys from work. We play every weekend.I: Really? Where did you play?M: In the park. There’s a football pitch there.I: Did you win?M: Of course. I scored five goals!I: Ha! I don’t believe you!Group discussionScriptsI = Interviewer; W = WriterI: We are very pleased to have you here, George. Shall we start from the beginning? Could you tell us about your childhood?W: Yes, of course. I was born in a small town in the northeast. My father was a truck driver and my mother worked part-time in a hospital. I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way? W: That’s a good question. You see, it was my experience there that inspired my film Lost in the Forest, although I didn’t actually make that film until several years later, in 2008.I: When did you start making films?W: In 2003. That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country. A kind of experiment, really.I: That sounds interesting. Why did you give it up then?W: It was very hard work. I was also busy working on my second novel …Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Hi, John. I’m back. Did any of my friends call me? We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up.M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example. W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising. Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made C harlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time. He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s f ilms? Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see. The computer, the car, the phone?No, I think it’s the light bulb. This invention has changed the world more than anything else. Q: Which invention does the man think changed the world most? Conversation 5W: Our play last night was a great success. We’re all proud of Bob. M: Yes. But if Bob had remembered all his lines, his performance would have been more natural.Q: What does the man mean?Long conversationScriptsW: Hey, Bob, I’m taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books.M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right? W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again. M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview?I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter? Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakeswere just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Step hen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives.They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and because that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, y ou know, and this is the only place I’mnever going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to b e a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europe for the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science andtechnology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US historysince 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journalthat studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy.

Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another.

I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind ofwhat is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principleof ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one hasalready learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory.

You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory.

Theseadded activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, youcan take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think onits various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mindwhile you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then releaseit slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you canthink about a special feature of his face and then link it withhis mane.1.

Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers thingsbetter if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Impro ving One‘s Memory ExamplesCreating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:1.a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If,however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essentialfactor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep alsoplays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, wemust allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise andstore the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according tothe passage?3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4. What problem can a lack of water cause?5. Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple whooften entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. Onthis particular spring night, they have invited a retiredprofessor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while theywere washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong inthe rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, andin addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―tiesin ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye asyou look at the name; or when you see he name, visualizethe ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover theartists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop.Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which oneis best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is expla in in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over?Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘sstill add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an importantpart of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖“I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖“Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her. “Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.“You‘re outing your mind,‖ yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖“Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A‘sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.A student says, ―Whateve r I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an ac tive reader-one whocontinually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?3.

Long conversation 1W: Hey, Bob, I’m taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should to see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J.K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books.M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a Café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester …right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafes a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J.K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview?I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Long conversation 2M: After such a tiring week, I can’t wait to have a rest and relax a little this weekend.W: Me too, Mr. Simpson. So what are you doing this weekend? Looks like it’ll be nice weather for sailing.M: Yes, Mary, I hope it stays this sunny. I’m going out to the beach and spending all weekend surfing.W: You, sir? Surfing?M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfing since I was 11, and it’s still my favorite activity. The cool blue waves, thesmell of the sea, just take me back to when I was teenager free from care. I forget all my troubles. By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in the waves. They’ll tire themselves out building sand castles, collecting seashells, and trying to bury each other in the sand.M: Oh, I remember building sand castles with my brothers … such great fun. How old are little Timmy and Monica now?W: Tim’s five and Monica’s three.M: Wow, kids grow up so fast!Long conversation 3W: Guess what Dad! I won the school spelling competition today! I’m the best speller out of all 450 students at my middle school! I won by spelling the word “excellence” correctly after Jimmy messed up on the word “vehicle”. He added an extra “k” after “c”.M: Wow, that’s great, sweetheart! I’m so proud of you. I still remember when I was 13 and I won my school’s big spelling competition. I competed all the way to the state competition in Sacramento, California!W: You went all the way to the state capital for a spelling competition?Our competition was just in the school cafeteria.M: Yes! Our state competition was in a big theater in Sacramento. We drove two hours from our home to get there. I wore my new blue suit!I even wore my dad’s favorite green tie for good luck!W: Did you win?M: Almost! I came in second. I was so sad after I misspelled “knowledgeable”. But my mom gave me a big hug afterwards, and then we went out for ice cream. Um … vanilla ice cream.W: Wow Dad! Second place in the state competition! In my next competition, I’m going to wear my favorite new yellow dress for good luck! And we can go out and have vanilla ice cream, too!Long conversation 4M: Did you hear? The new high-speed train around the capital is almost finished. It will travel at 180 miles per hour!W: I know! I saw it on Channel 6 this morning on TV. I can’t wait! It will change my work travel time from 2 hours each way to just 45 minutes each way.M: Wow! Rachel! That’s way too long to spend traveling to work.W: Well, John, I leave home in the morning at 6 and arrive ate work at 8.Leave work at 5 and arrive back home at 7. During my 2-hour travel time on the subway, I do catch up on emails and try to read and rest a little.M: So, the new high-speed train will be a big help for you then, Rachel! W: Yes! Now my travel time to work is so long that any extra time- like for shopping – can be really tough. The new high-speed train will connect our office in the old part of the city with all the new shopping areas. So, I will be able to do my shopping on the way home from work!M: Oh, that’s great. And the new high-speed train will make a circle around the entire city. It will connect my neighborhood with the airport. I will be able to ride it from my neighborhood to the airport in20 minutes and save money on parking my car!Long conversation 5M; Katy, Jason called inviting you to his Halloween party!W: Ugh, Dad! I don’t want to go to Jason’s party! I went last year! There were only six people there!M: Katy! You can’t judge the success of a party by the number of people who attend! Besides Jason and his family are old friends! You’ve known him since you were three years old!W: I know Dad – but Halloween is my favorite holiday – My favorite!And I worked for two months making my rabbit costume! Plus Jason’s party last year was completely boring. Completely! Four hours of boring. Boring. Boring.M: It wasn’t all that bad, young lady. You came back with a huge bag ofcandy and talking about how cook the Halloween decorations were in Jason’s front yard. You did have fun last year at Jason’s party!W: Well, yes. That’s true, I guess. But Dad, I really don’t want to go – because I need to go to Linda’s party instead! Please! Dad, don’t make me go to Jason’s party. Please!M: And what’s so special about Linda’s party?W: Well, all my friends are going to Linda’s party not Jason’s – and, they’re going to have special music, a Halloween video, and a new game called “Guess Who”.M: OK, why not go to Jason’s party for one hour or so and then go to Linda’s party for the rest of the evening?W: Thanks Dad! Thanks so much! That’s a great idea!Long conversation 6M: So Mary, I heard you were thinking about doing a triathlon?W: That’s right. But you know triathlons are tough with the three events: swimming, then cycling and finally running! My sister, Jennifer, did a triathlon last year and loved it! So, I decided to give it a try.M: Good for you! I did my first triathlon back in college six years ago.Now, I do at least one triathlon every year. It keeps me fit and healthy with regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three events?W: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it! I woke up at six a.m. every morning and then ran three miles.Now that I’m training for the triathlon I’m loving waking up at sixa.m. and running again.M: Not me! Running is my worst event! I get bored when I run. I start daydreaming about other things and forget where I’m going! Two times last week I made a wrong turn and almost got lost!W: For me, it’s swimming. Swimming pools are fine – but triathlons …take place in lakes. And … I’m scared that a giant fish will eat me! M: What?! Come on! There aren’t any giant people-eating fish in lakes and even the small fish will be scared away when hundreds of people from the triathlon are swimming there all at the same time!Long conversation 7W: I just saw a great movie about the true story of Christopher McCandless’ trip to the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. It was so inspiring! His love of nature was so beautiful.M: Well, I read about his story. He was foolish and just threw his life away!W: Why would you say that? It’s a shame that he died, but at least he lived doing what he loved. Can you imagine living in Alaska alone, eating only the plants you can gather and the animals you can hunt? M: No, that’s just it! He died in the wilderness because he thought nature was magical and kind. He needed to realize that nature is powerful and full of risks! Christopher was completely unprepared for the many dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.W: Like what? He found shelter and he had a gun to hunt!M: He did not use his map of the area – there was a boat where he could get help only a quarter of a mile away! He didn’t have any emergency food supplies! Most of all, he had no emergency communication equipment. Any one of those three things would have saved his life! W: Yes, he should have been more prepared, but I still admire what he was trying to do.M: It’s not romantic! Five famous outdoor specialists were interviewed.They all said he should have lived. He died because he was unprepared!W: Still, I admire his spirit for trying!Long conversation 8M: That’s beautiful new coat, Jessica. Is that real leather?W: Yes, it is 1 I found it in a sale last week for only $180. I just couldn’t resist!M: $180?! How can you afford that kind of purchase as a college student?Back when I was beginning college, it was a struggle to afford tuition, books and food!W: No problem! My student loan just came in for this term, so I have plenty of money to spend! I took all of my friends out for dinner lastnight, and tonight we’re going out to a concert! We got great tickets for $75! You should come with us, Mike!M: Thanks for the invitation … Um. I’ll have to pass. I need to prepare for my class. Jessica … $75! You’d better learn to be more careful with your money. What will you do if you run out of money before the end of the term?W: I’ll just call my mom! She loves to send me money. She saved up for college for me from when I was young. She said I should really enjoy my college life! So, I am!M: OK, well, I’ve got to go. Jessica, I may be an old family friend of over15 years, but here at the university, I’m the graduate teaching assistantin your freshman biology class. So, don’t forget to study for the exam this Thursday!W: OK! Bye!。

When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.e had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper orde r.”So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water,and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands,he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!his famous scientist then remarked that it was at that m oment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes.Instead,mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Answers1 D2 D3 B4 APassage 2Scripts and answershere are so many changes when a person comes to college.

I’ve been to lots of interesting places but there’s always something new to experience. How do you feel about London?W1 = Woman 1, etc; M1 = Man 1, etc.Part 2W1: I love London. I actually lived here for 14 years.W2: I love London. I love the diversity, and all the different people here, the multiculturalism.W3: I love London. London is one of the most amazing cities. It’s so exciting; there’s so much to do and see in London. I think it’s one of my favorite cities.W4: I like London, but sometimes it’s too busy.M1: There’s (There’re) too many people; it’s too big a city; um … it doesn’t have any real heart, and um, you know, for a holiday, it’s … it’s just not, it’s … it’s … it’s not very relaxing.W5: Living in Australia at the moment, comparing it to London, I find the people to be more humorous and lively. There seems to be more going on.M2: Absolutely love London. One of the best places, I think, anyone can live. There’s just so much happening, I mean. Um, my father’s just over for two weeks and (has) actually beengoing down to all the galleries and stuff today along the South Bank.W6: I feel very comfortable in Londo n. It’s already, like, my fifth time.M3: I wouldn’t like to live in London, but to visit, it’s an absolutely tremendous place and where I live it’s just a short train ride.M4: I do like London.

I like London because of its huge diversity of people, and huge diversity of things to do and places to see.Part 3F: What’s the most exciting thing you’ve done in London?W3: The most exciting thing I’ve done in London recently is to see Oasis live. I went to the Roundhouse and it was the most amazing concert. It was free, so we ended up having nice passes, so we were close to the band and it was incredible. It’s the best thing I think I’ve seen in a long time.W2: I’ve been to the theater quite a lot in London. I went to see Waiting for Godot at the National.W5: I’ve recently been to Hampton Court,which is a royal palace most famously known for being the place where King Henry VIII lived, and a few of his wives that made it there.M3: I … I think Tate Modern is the best place I’ve been to, you know, because it’s … it’s different every time … Um, you know, they really push the boundaries of, you know, the displays, compared to a lot of the traditional museums and art galleries inLondon.M5: The b est thing I’ve ever done was watching a gig in Hyde Park for my cousin’s birthday.W4: The most exciting t hing I’ve done in London? Um, I’ve watched England play football at Wembley – that was quite exciting.M2: Just this weekend, we were in er, Brixton, in Brockwell Park, and there was a country fair going on and just the characters in the crowd were just absolutely fantastic.M4: I’ve done a lot of interesting things. I’ve had a lot of good experiences here but probably the best thing was when I went to Wimbledon this year. Um … I got to watch … I got to watch Andy Murray on Center Court. I managed to get tickets to that. And it was just a really good atmosphere and it was a good example of, sort of, British culture and sport.ListeningScriptsThis happ ened in Australia … when I was about 25. I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk … in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked … and then I realized I didn’t re ally know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really … because I decided to go further … I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um … anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them … There was a group –maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er … um, I … I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze,like a statue … I didn’t move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dog s, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs wereall around me, jumping and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most frightening ex perience I’ve ever had!ViewingF = Francesco; M1 = Mamas; M2 = MariaF: Kalimera.

Come in.F: Congratulations!M2: Thank you.F: Are you a little nervous?M2: A little.F: All the women are helping prepare for the wedding feast. They’re making decorations in dough for a special wedding bread. How many guests for your wedding?M2: Er, 1,500 about (about 1,500).F: Mamma mia, it’s a lot! Mamma mia. The whole of Maria’s village has turned out to see her get married. The bride arrives with her father. She’s gorgeous. This is the nerv ous bridegroom, Jorgos. In a few minutes he and Maria will be manand wife.M2: I do!F: And now we go to part y. It’s certainly the largest wedding reception I’ve ever been to. At Cretan weddings, guests give money as gifts. And now the food is served. The meat of 150 sheep ... and a whole lot more. Maria and Jorgos’ first dance as man and wife includes all the cl ose family. I’m destroyed!

1 Unit 6 Wit and fit Listening to the world Sharing Scripts F = Finn Part 1 F: Often it’s hard to find a time to exercise when you have a full-time job. Lots of my friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you? What do you do to keep fit?
M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 2 M1: Uh … I do quite a few things actually. Um, I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs. Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there quite a bit. I coach, actually coach rowing as well. W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do any extra organized exercise. W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques. M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week. And I also watch what I eat. W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature 2
also. M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running. W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep fit – going to the gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active. W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours doing foot patrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps me quite fit. Part 3 F: What other things would you like to do to keep fit? M1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport. Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey. W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the only sports that I’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV. M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle. W3: I would like to learn to rock climb. M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfortunately I don’t have time and it is a little bit expensive. W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing. W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like jive, 1940s jazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way 3
of keeping fit, and you meet a lot of people. Part 4 F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy? M1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet things. W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well. W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that – as much as I can, although it does happen quite regularly. W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it. W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early hours of the morning. W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink caffeine. M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also eat a lot of cake.
Listening Scripts I = Interviewer; W = Woman I: Can you tell us a little about superfoods? W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach. I: Hmm. 4
W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you. I: Right. W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future. I: Can you tell us why not? W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day. I: Um, right. W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week. I: I see. So what you’re saying is … I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills. W: Yes. I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future? W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it. I: Right. W: But I don’t think food pills will replace normal food. I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons? W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’t the same. I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills?
