Here are your keys.Janet: Where's my room?Porter: You're in staircase 6 room 5.Jane t: Who am I sharing with?Porter: Nobody. You have your own room. Er ... there's a Ms Santos in the room next to you.Janet:Oh. My own room? In China we usually have several people in a dormitory. Porter: Well, here you don't have to share with anyone.Janet: Thank you sir.Porter: No need to call me sir, Ms Li. Everyone calls me Stewart.Janet: Please call me Janet!Porter: OK, Janet, um, can you just sign for your keys, please?Conversation 2Kate: Hi, have you just arrived too?Janet: Yes!Kate: I guess we’re neighbors. My name’s Kate Santos.Janet: I’m Janet Li. Where are you from?Kate: From New York. How about you?Janet: I’m from Anshan in China.Kate: Is Janet your real name?Janet: No, it’s my English name. My Chinese name is Li Hui. Is Kate your full name?Kate: No, it’s short for Catherine.Janet: So do I call you Catherine or Kate?Kate: Everyone calls me Kate.Conversation 3Conversation 1Kate: Oh, this looks nice.Mark: Cool.Waitress: Good afternoon, table for three? Come this way.Mark: Let's have a look at the menu.Mark: Thank you.Janet: Thank you.Waitress: The specials are on the board.Kate: So, what sorts of food do you like, Janet?Janet: Well, I like spicy food. And I'm not very fond of raw food! What would you recommend?Mark: Why don't you try the chicken curry? That's nice and spicy.Janet: What's in it?Mark: Chicken cooked in tomatoes and onions with Indian spices.Janet: I'll try it. Do we all choose a selection of dishes to share or only one dish per person?Mark: Usually one dish per person.Kate: Or the moussaka looks good.Janet: What's it made with?Kate: It's made with lamb and eggplant. It's a Greek dish.Janet: How is it cooked?Kate: It's baked in the oven.Janet: Mm, that sounds good too.Kate: And as a starter?Janet: What's minestrone soup?Mark: It's an Italian soup with vegetables and pasta. It's delicious!Janet: OK, I'll have that.Kate: Waitress?Waitress: What can I get for you?Kate: Well, for the starter, can we have two minestrone soups, and for the main course, one moussaka and one curry, please. What about you, Mark?Mark: I'll have the prawns with garlic and the chilli con carne. And could you bring us some water, please?Waitress: OK.Mark: Thank you.Waitress: Thanks.Janet: What's chilli con carne?Mark: It's a spicy Mexican dish with beef and beans. It's very hot!Conversation 2Janet: That was great! Except I don't like cold water. I usually drink hot water. Kate: Hot water? We never drink hot water except with tea. Let's have a dessert.What would you like, Janet?Janet: Any suggestions?Kate: Well, why don't you try the apple strudel? It's an Austrian dish. It's made with apple, pastry and spices.Janet: No, I'm not so keen on pastry. ...What's a chocolate brownie?Mark: It's a kind of chocolate cake.Janet: How is it made?Kate: It's made with flour, eggs and butter...Mark: And lots of chocolate!Kate: You'll love it.Janet: What kind of ice cream is there?Kate: I'll ask ... Excuse me ... What flavor ice cream do you have?Waitress: Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.Janet: I'll just have a fruit salad, I think.Mark: And Kate, what are you going to have?Kate: Same for me.Mark: Could you bring us two fruit salads, and a chocolate brownie?Waitress: Sure.Unit 3Conversation 1Mark: Hi, what're you doing?Janet: Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper. Mark: Let's have a look then.Janet: Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go?Mark: OK, might as well. I'm not busy.Janet: Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?Mark: Yea.Janet: OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?Mark: True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.Janet: You're right; exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual memory.Mark: That sounds about right. True?Janet: No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory. Mark: Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.Janet: Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.Mark: That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired.Janet: Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve. Mark: I'm not sure ... True?Janet: Actually, it's false.Mark: Oh!Janet: Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.Mark: I read something in The Times about that. True.Janet: True, it says here.Mark: Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!Janet: Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!Conversation 2Kate: You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?Janet: Well ... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.Kate: You're telling me! There's so much work!Janet: It's not the amount of work, but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult.Kate: You have to memorize a lot, don't you?Janet: Yes, but I'm good at that.Kate: You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do.Janet: Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking.Kate: What do you mean by critical thinking?Janet: Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.Kate: Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do. Janet: I am getting better at it, I suppose.Kate: Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then ask questions.Janet: OK.Kate: Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question! Janet: Why do you say that?Kate: That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.Janet: Can you give an example of some research?Kate: Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.Unit 4Conversation 1Kate: Oh, I must make a quick call. ...Jacky: Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking.Kate: Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please?Jacky: I'll see if she's in, can you hold on?Kate: Sure. ...Jacky: Hello? She's out, I'm afraid. Can I give her a message — er ... or I can ask her to call you back?Kate: Could you ask her to call me back?Jacky: Sure. Who's calling?Kate: Kate Santos.Jacky: Kate Santos, OK. Does Abbie have your number?Kate: Yes, she does.Jacky: I'll tell her you called.Kate: Thanks.Janet: Abbie? I know a girl called Abbie. She reads English, doesn't she?Kate: Yes, how do you know her?Janet: She has a tutorial just after me so we chat a bit. We get on really well. Kate: Yes, everyone likes Abbie. I think it's because she's really interested in people — she's a very good listener. She should be, she works for Nightline.Janet: Nightline?Kate: Oh, I haven't told you, I've joined it.Janet: What is it? I've never heard of it.Kate: Look, I've got a leaflet about it.Janet: So...Kate: It's a university helpline for students who are having problems. I'm training to be one of the people they can call to talk to.Janet: You mean, you're a volunteer?Kate: Yes.Janet: Oh, that's great, KateConversation 2Abbie: Hi, Abbie speaking.Kate: Hi, Abbie, it's Kate Santos.Abbie: Hi! I'm sorry not to have called you back. I've got a lot on at the moment. How's things?Kate: Fine. I just wanted to let you know I won't be able to come to the next training session.Abbie: Um ... It's quite an important session. Oh, can you hold on a moment. There's someone at the door. ...Abbie: Hi, I'm sorry, look, can I call you back later?Kate: Sure. What time?Abbie: Is three o'clock OK?Kate: Three's fine.Abbie: OK, I'll call you then. Speak soon.Kate: Bye.Abbie: Bye....Kate: Abbie's my Nightline trainer.Janet: You're saying she's your Nightline trainer! But she's still a student.Kate: Well, experienced students train new students, that's the way it works. Janet: Oh, I see.Kate: It's great! At the moment, she's training us in listening skills.Janet: Listening skills? What do you mean, listening skills?Kate: Um ... The ability to really listen to someone and make them feel you're listening. It's very important.Janet: I've never thought about that before.Kate: Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differently.Janet: So what you're saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words.Kate: Yes. You see, when you do that, you check you've understood and you show them you're really listening.Janet: So they know you've really heard them.Kate: Very good, Janet. I can see you've got it already! Hi ... how's it going?Unit 5Conversation 1Kate: Hi, Becky, how's it going?Becky: Good!Mark: Guys, look, can you help me with a problem?Janet: Yes, of course.Mark: The thing is, there's this girl I really like called Jenny Sparks. She's a Fresher, really stunning, reads history. I know her name because someone pointed her out to me, but I've never actually spoken to her. Do either of you know her?Kate: No.Janet: No, I don't know her. Mark, how can you like her if you haven't met her? Kate: It's because she's absolutely gorgeous, Janet.Mark: That's right! I want to ask her out, but first I've got to meet her. Got any suggestions?Becky: Guys! You want to order?Mark: Sorry.Kate: Three cappuccinos?Becky: Sure.Janet: Do you know anyone who knows her? You could ask them to introduce you. Mark: No, I don't, that's the problem.Kate: Are you matchmaking, Janet?Janet: What's matchmaking?Kate: Making introductions between people who might like each other. We don't do that here. How about just walking up to her and saying Hi? Why don't you do that? Mark: No.Kate: Why not?Mark: I'm not usually shy, but — she's so ... you know ...!Janet: Oh, Mark!Kate: Just believe in yourself, Mark. You're a great guy!Janet: I understand Mark completely.Kate: Well, it's the only way he's going to get to talk to her.Mark: OK, I'll give it a try.Becky: Solved the Jenny problem yet?Girls: Thank you.Janet: You'll be fine. Mark. She'll like him, won't she, Becky?Becky: Of course she will!Conversation 2Mark: Hey, guess what, guys, I've got a date with Jenny.Kate: You did it, you asked her out?Janet: When are you seeing her?Mark: Saturday. We're going to The Eagle and Child.Janet: Sounds great.Mark: Yeah! The thing is, I'm a bit nervous.Janet: Are you?Mark: Yes, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself. I could do with some more advice. Kate: Any ideas?Janet: Um ... I'm thinking.Kate: Well ... One thing is ... if you're nervous, it's easy to talk too much, so remember not to do that.Mark: Good point. I'll remember that.Janet: You should make her feel special. Show her you're really interested in her. Mark: I am really interested in her.Janet: Well, you should show her you are.Mark: That'll be easy! What else?Kate: It's a good idea to look good.Mark: That's pretty obvious!Kate: I mean clean clothes, Mark!Mark: Oh ... thanks, Kate! Any more advice?Kate: Yes, the most important thing is, just be yourself.Becky: How's it going, Mark?Kate: He's worried this girl won't like him.Becky: She'll love you! Ready to order?Unit 6Conversation 1Janet: So, are you looking for anything in particular?Mark: Maybe a T-shirt or a polo shirt.Janet: We could go into the covered market and have a look at the shops in there. Kate: And what about you?Janet: I need some cosmetics from the Body Shop on Corn market Street.Kate: And I'm looking for something to wear to Jenny's party tonight. But nothing too expensive. Anyway, look, let's go in here.Assistant: Can I help you?Kate: We're just looking.Mark: What do you think of this one?Kate: Hmm, it's OK, but I'm not sure green suits you. Do they have it in other colors?Janet: What size do you take?Mark: Medium, I guess. Oh, here's a nice polo shirt. I like the color. It's a bit small, though.Janet: Do they have it in a larger size?Mark: Yes, here we go. That's great.Janet: How much is it?Mark: Twelve pounds. That's not too bad. I'll buy it.Mark: I'll have this, please.Assistant: That'll be 12 pounds please. ... Thank you. ... And here's your shirt, and here's your receipt.Mark: Thanks.Mark: Look, I've really got to go. I'll see you at the party tonight.Kate: OK.Janet:Bye.Conversation 2Janet: OK, Kate. Now it is time to find something for you. What about this dress? Kate: Hey, that's lovely.Janet: Would you like to try it on?Kate: Yes, OK. Where are the changing rooms?Assistant: Just behind you.Kate: Thank you. ... What do you think?Janet: Well, it really suits you, but ...Kate: ... it's a bit big. Excuse me, do you have this in a smaller size?Assistant: What size do you take?Kate: Size 8, I think.Assistant: No, I'm afraid we don't. That's the last one.Kate: No, it doesn't really fit. OK, I'll leave it.Janet: Actually, I really like it.Kate: Why don't you try it on, then?Janet: OK. ... What do you think?Kate: Perfect. It really suits you.Janet: It's a bit expensive.Kate: Go on! You deserve it!Janet: OK, I'll have it. But I don't have enough cash. ... Can I pay by credit card? Assistant: Sure.Janet: Thank you.Assistant: Please enter your PIN. ... And here's your receipt.Janet: Thank you.Assistant: Thanks a lot.Kate: That was painless, wasn't it? But I still don't have a dress for the party. Let's try somewhere else.Assistant: Bye.Girls: Bye.Unit 7Conversation 1Janet: What time are your parents arriving?Kate: Eleven. Oh no, it's 10.30! I must clean up my room, it's a mess.Janet: Would you like me to give you a hand?Kate: Oh, yes, that would be great! ...Janet: So, what are they like, your parents?Kate: They're great. They're very different. Mum's pretty sociable — she's real funny. Dad isn't as sociable — he's kind of quiet — he reads a lot and he likes spending time alone. He's a lot more chilled than Mum.Janet: They do sound quite different.Kate: Yes. Mum — she tends to worry a lot, whereas Dad's quite ... easygoing. He's good at listening, you can tell him anything. Um ... could you put those over there? Janet: Sure. So who are you most like?Kate: You tell me!Janet: Hmm, you've got a bit of both of them, I think.Kate: Yes, I think so, too. I'm sociable, like Mum —Janet: You're very sociable!Kate: Yes, but I like to spend time alone.Janet: I don't think you worry a lot, do you?Kate: No, I'm like Dad in that way.Kate: Oh, look at the time, I must go. I'm meeting them outside the Lodge.Conversation 2Julia: This is great. It's just like I pictured it. Look at that, isn't it beautiful?Rob: Wow, Kate, honey! I love your school!Kate: No, Dad, I'm not at Law School, I'm at university!Rob: OK, honey. It's Oxford, England — I know! ...Rob: Listen, honey, Granddad had a fall just before we left.Kate: Oh, no!Rob: It's OK. He broke his arm but they don't think it's serious.Julia: I don't know, when old people break something, it can be very serious. Rob: I think he'll be fine!Kate: Tell me all about it. What exactly happened?Rob: He fell down the steps in the backyard.Kate: Oh, poor Granddad! So go on!Rob: He was taken to the hospital by ambulance ... they kept him there for several hours, didn't they, Julia? But they let him go home.Julia: I feel awful that we can't be with him.Rob: Julia, I spoke to Granddad as soon as we landed and he said the doctors aren't worried.Kate: What else did he say?Rob: He said his arm doesn't hurt him.Kate: Oh, good! So he'll be OK, right? There's no real concern?Rob: No, I told you, honey, there's no need to worry. ... Just look at that! What a great place!Kate: Yes, isn't it wonderful?Rob: Come on, let's go and eat. Isn't there a pub nearby? I seem to remember passing one. I'd love to eat in an English pub.Kate: OK, let's do that.Rob: There's no need to worry, honey.Unit 8Conversation 1Assistant: Hi, how can I help you?Mark: I'd like to book a flight and make a hotel reservation.Assistant: Going to ...?Mark: To New York, please.Assistant: Is that a one-way or a return?Mark: A return, please. Out on the 17th of June and coming back on the 10th of September.Assistant: OK, and I guess you want economy not club?Mark: Yes, economy, please. Could I have an aisle seat, not a window seat? Assistant: I'm afraid you'll have to do that at the airport. What about accommodation?Mark: Well, most of the time I'm working in upstate New York, but I need a cheap hotel in New York City and one in Boston for a few nights.Assistant: How many nights will you be staying?Mark: Three nights in Boston and two nights in New York. The 12th to the 15th of August in Boston, leaving on the 15th, so three nights in Boston. Then the 15th to the 17th in New York, leaving on the 17th. So two nights in New York.Assistant: OK, I can check that out for you. Single or double room?Mark: Single. With a shower, please.Assistant: I can get you rooms in budget hotels and motels for around 75 dollars a night.Mark: Does the price include breakfast?Assistant: Let me see. Yes, I can do that for you.Mark: What time is check-out?Assistant: Usually midday ... Do you have a student card? You'll need it for the cheap flights and the accommodation. Oh, and any travelling within the US? We can get you seats on Greyhound buses, if you want.Mark: Actually, that would be great. Can you get me a seat from New York to Boston, travelling on the 12th of August? And then one from New York to Chicago on the 17th? After Chicago I'm going to DC and then back to New York, but I'll get those tickets when I'm in the States.Assistant: No problem, just give me a few minutes ...Conversation 2Kate: Have you made plans for the summer vacation yet?Mark: Yes, I'm travelling around the States for three months.Janet: Three months! Wow, you're lucky! Whereabouts are you going?Mark: Well, I'm flying to New York City, and then I'm working for eight weeks as a counsellor on a summer camp in upstate New York. And then I'm travelling around for about four weeks, back in time for the start of term.Kate: Where are you staying?Mark: On the campsite in the mountains. It's about an hour away from New York City by bus.Kate: What are you going to do there?Mark: I'll be looking after teenagers, city kids mostly. We're going swimming, rafting and canoeing, and maybe backpacking in the mountains.Janet: That sounds amazing! And after that, what are your plans?Mark: I'll catch the Greyhound bus to Boston, and relax in a hotel for three days. Kate: The museums in Boston are great! You absolutely must visit them.Mark: OK, I'll do that. Then I go back to New York for two days, to watch a baseball game.Kate: The New York Yankees? That's my team!Mark: Then I'm flying to Chicago for six days, to stay with some friends.Kate: And will you fly home from Chicago?Mark: No, then I'll go to DC for six days to do some sightseeing. And then I'll be back a few days before the beginning of term.Janet: It sounds like a dream vacation.Unit 9Conversation 1Kate: Oh, Janet, you don't look too good. What's the matter?Janet: Oh, I'm OK. I am not sleeping very well at the moment, so I'm quite tired. I fell asleep in the lecture just now.Kate: Is anything wrong?Janet: Oh, I don't know. Maybe I'm worried about my end of term exams. And I've got an essay to write.Kate: Are you eating properly? I didn't see you at dinner last night.Janet: No, I've lost my appetite. I can't face any more Western food for a few days. Kate: I think you've lost some weight. Do you feel sick?Janet: Mostly homesick.Kate: Have you talked to your tutor?Janet: No! Why would I do that?Kate: Well, it's part of his job to keep an eye on your health. Why don't you make an appointment to see the doctor?Janet: But I'm all right.Kate: Do you have any other symptoms? Do you have a headache?Janet: Well, I have a headache nearly all the time at the moment. And I feel a bit depressed. But it's nothing. I'll be all right. Please! Don't worry about me.Kate: You poor thing! Why don't you make an appointment to see the doctor? She'll give you a check-up; take your temperature and blood pressure, all the usual tests. Janet: Oh, I don't want to make a fuss. It's nothing.Kate: You're not making a fuss. I am! And I'm coming with you.Conversation 2Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Janet: Well ...Kate: She hasn't been eating or sleeping properly. She fell asleep in the lecture this morning.Doctor: Hmm, and what did the lecturer think of that?Janet: Fortunately, he didn't see me.Doctor: OK, I'm going to ask you a few questions. How's your social life?Janet: It's fine. I've got some really nice friends.Doctor: Have you got a boyfriend?Janet: No. I don't think my parents would like me to have one while I'm at university.Doctor: And are you eating properly?Janet: Yes, I think so.Kate: She says she's a bit fed up with Western food.Doctor: OK, so you'd like some home comfort ... what's your favorite food? Janet: Fried rice!Doctor: Not much fried rice for dinner in college, is there? Um, any worries about your work?Janet: No. Maybe. Yes, I suppose so.Doctor: Do you have an essay crisis?Janet: Yes! I haven't finished all the reading. I don't read as quickly as my friends, soit takes me a long time to write my essays.Doctor: OK, Janet. I want you to try and take a few days off. I'll have a word with your tutor and see if he can wait for your essay.Janet: OK.Doctor: If you're run down or depressed, you're more likely to catch a cold. Can you come back and see me next week? In the meantime, I suggest you try taking some...Unit 10Conversation 1Janet: Hi!Mark: Hi!Kate: How are you?Mark: I'm OK, thanks. How're you guys?Kate: Good.Mark: Good ... Oh, that traffic! It's getting worse and worse!Kate: Tell me about it, it's awful! Don't you worry about your health when you're cycling? All that pollution! Like, what are we breathing in? They really should do something about it!Mark: I think they intend to — or at least they keep talking about it.Janet:Shall we go inside?Mark: Yea....Mark: You know, it sounds crazy, but it might be an idea to ban cars from the centre of the city. I nearly got hit by a crazy driver earlier.Kate: Are you OK?Mark: Yes, I'm fine.Janet: Would they really do that — ban cars?Mark: It's possible. It'd sort out the traffic problems. And it would reduce pollution. Janet: I don't think that would be very popular with drivers.Mark: But it would be safer for cyclists.Kate: Supposing they introduced a congestion charge?Mark: Like in London?Janet: Do you think it would stop people driving into Oxford?Mark: It'd stop some people.Kate: They could always extend the Park and Ride scheme.Janet: It's a good idea.Kate: If people actually use it.Mark: Hey, I haven't told you, I'm going to a meeting of the Environmental Action Group tonight.Kate: You are? Good for you!Mark: Yes, I'm just concerned about the environment. I've decided to get more active, believe it or not.Janet: I guess we all should.Kate: I know, you're right ... Excuse me ...Conversation 2Janet: By the way, Mark, how did your meeting go?Mark: Quite interesting, actually.Janet: So what did they talk about?Mark: Uh, recycling, mostly. They have this plan ... that everyone should write to the Council. Ask them to collect more rubbish. You know, like, all the plastic, which they don't do. I'm going to write a letter this evening.Janet: Really? You know, I think I might go to the next meeting. I've been meaning to do something ... get more active about the environment.Mark: Yes, we all need to. Global warming, ice caps melting, pollution. Doesn't it worry you?Janet: Yes, it's really frightening.Mark: Hey, it would be great if you came to the meeting, Janet. The Action Group really wants to make students more aware of what they can do to help.Janet: You know, I think everyone knows what they should do. But they don't do it — I don't do it.Mark: I'm the same. Actually, there's something we could do right now.Janet: What?Mark: There's this poster they want to put up all over the university. It tells you easy ways of saving energy. I'm looking at it, here, look ...Janet: "Use less hot water ..."Mark: They've asked us to print it out and put it up in college. You want to help me? Janet: Sure! It might be an idea to ask Kate to help.Mark: Yes, let's ask her. But why don't we print it out — right now?Janet: Sure.。

My top health tips are: Have a balaneed diet, stick to an appropriate exercise routine. go to bed early and get up early, meet family members and trie nds regularly for a good laugh, and take a holiday every few months. (Show a slide with five bullet points of these top health tips here.)As you know, a good t balanced diet is very important for your body to get sufficient nutrition so that you have energy to do your work and live healthily. When your diet is poor, it is easy for you to become ill. (Show some photos of the typical ingredients in a balaneed diet.)Its good advice to plan an appropriate exercise routine t which means the exercise you do should suit you well and shouldrTt be too much for you. However, you doneed to do it regularly and consistently. For example, you may do your fai chi exercises for half an hour every morning, take a walk every evening after dinner, go for a swim once or twice a week and play a basketball or badminton match once a week. If you do that, youll soon feel the ben efits. It will improve your strength and en dura nee, and help to correct bad posture. It also improves your mood and your concentration. You will also feel less stressed, and more con fide nt about yourself・ Of course, if you don't exercise, the opposite will happen. I remember there was one period when I could not follow my routine - I was short of time and had to finish my work. But I became very miserable and my work efficiency went down as well. When I realized what was happening. I forced myself to resume my routine and I became more energetic・More importantly, I was able to finish my work more quickly. (Show some photos of me doing exercise here.)Another point … This is easy to say, but quite hard to do … Go to bed early and get up early. Having enough sleep is important for your body to process and gain nutrition and energy and to repair itself for the next day. Without proper sleep it is very easy to become ill. no matter how young and strong you are. (Show a picture of some one asleep here.)Another important aspect of health is your mentalhealth• You have to remain happy and positive. So a good way to make this possible is to meet up with family members and friends to relax and enjoy yourself — go out with them, have a good dinner together sing karaoke or watch a good film or show. You know t last week I went out with my friends for a karaoke night. It was so good that I finished my presentation preparation more quickly than I had planned・(Show some photos of happy singing here.)Further, every now and then your body needs to rest completely and your m泊d needs to stop thinking about work. As the saying goes, "If you don't know how to rest, then you dorft know how to study." So going away for a holiday is a good idea to achieve this.

听力原文Oxford University has seen a rise in the number of applications from state school students thanks to Harry Potter. The university says that teenagers who have followed Harry’s adventures at Hogwarts are no longer discouraged by Oxford’s traditions because they remind them of scenes in J. K. Rowling’s best-selling books. Teenagers see similarities between the traditional university and Hogwarts.The “Hogwarts Generation” is embracing the idea of a more formal educational setting. In fact, Oxford’s head of admissions says that the latest generation of students is excited about the idea of attending a school that requires students to wear long flowing robes and has a grand dining hall.Though more state school students want to attend Oxford, spots are very limited. With over 17,000 applications for only 3,200 spots, Oxford candidates still must work hard to win their place atthe historic university.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. Why are students excited about attending Oxford University?Interviewer: Can you tell me something about the, the Ivy League? You’re a professor at Harvard, is that right? Professor: That’s right, yes.Interviewer: Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor:Yeah. In total there are eight institutions: There’s Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer:Ah, OK. And what’s the sporting ... I believe there’s some link with sports.Professor: There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last 50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn’t possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.Interviewer: And what about their academic importance? I, I gather they’re academically very, very important, they’re very well-known. Professor:Absolutely at the top. Er, they’re near or at the top of the USA colleges and university rankings. And they’re almost always in the top one per cent of the world’s academic institutions for financial resources.Interviewer: And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?Professor:Certainly if you’ve been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of the, of the scale. The, the Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them. Interviewer:And do you know ... why’s it called the Ivy League, what’s the origin of the name?Professor: There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it’s based on four universities, and IV, the, the letters IV, that’s the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants,which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s.Interviewer: Right, OK. And which is the, the oldest university? Professor: The oldest goes back to t he 17th century, that’s Harvard, which was founded in 1636. And the youngest of the institutions is Cornell, which was founded in 1865.Interviewer: And which has the largest number of undergraduates? Professor: Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.Interviewer: And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?Professor: That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent. Interviewer: And any famous alumni? Famous old boys? Professor: Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over the world would certainly be George Bush, who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who were, was at Harvard.Interviewer: Thank you.Interviewer: Can you tell me something about the, the Ivy League? You’re a professor at Harvard, is that right?Professor: That’s right, yes.Interviewer: Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor:Yeah. In total there are eight institutions: There’s Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer:Ah, OK. And what’s the sporting ...

What was it?Andy:A Beautiful Mind. It’s about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane:I’ve heard about that film, yes. He’s played by Russell Crowe, isn’t he? I like Russell Crowe, he’s great.Andy:That’s the one, yes.Jane:What’s it about?Andy:Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash’s life at Princeton University as a graduate student.Jane:That’s one of the Ivy League schools, isn’t it?Andy:Yes, it’s all set in New England, lovely old bui ldings, beautiful autumn colours. It’s lovely to look at. Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he’s looking fo r is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.Jane:So he’s not interested in having fun?Andy:Well, yes, but he’s not very good with people or successful with women, that’s all. But, you know, it’s one of these bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.Jane: No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths? Andy:That’s about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.Jane: Ah! At last, the love interest!Andy:Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he’s been asked to work by William Parcher for the US Department of Defense on b reaking Soviet codes. At one point he’s chased by the Russians, and it’s after this that he becomes mentally ill.Jane:I think I’ve seen this in the trailer to the film.Andy:So when he’s put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He’s given this painful treatment which affects his relationship with his wife, and his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine.Jane: It sounds quite hard to watch.Andy:Well, it is, but it’s well acted and directed, and so, you know, there’s a bit of distance between the audience and what’s happening on film.Jane: So what happens next?Andy: Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated, because we’re no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash’s mind.Jane: That sounds awful. He must have been so ill.Andy:Actually, I’m kind of giving away the twist in the story. Anyway, later in his life, while he’s using the library at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again.And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.Jane: Well, it sounds like a great film.Andy: Yes, you should see it sometime.Andy: Did you see the film on television last night?Jane: No, I was out. What was it?Andy:A Beautiful Mind. It’s about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane:I’ve heard about that film, yes. He’s p layed by Russell Crowe, isn’t he?

I think the homework is due on Thursday.Q: What are the man and woman complaining about?3.M: Do you like Melville?

Study hard, have fun and call home often.Q6: What is the relationship between Teresa and Diane?Q7: Which of the following classes might Teresa find interesting?Q8:How would you describe Teresa’s father?Students must face many tough decisions during their first year in university. Determining which classes to take is only one decision among many. As students sift through the offerings under debate between Biology versus Chemistry, Creative Writing versus Literature and European History versus American History, they are beginning to determine the academic pair they will follow.Included among these decisions will likely be one about a foreign language. How to decide? Will it be a commonly studied language, such as Spanish, French, German or Italian? Will it be something more challenging, such as Japanese, Chinese or Korean? There are many schools have thought about which languages are the best to learn. And they generally deal with their usefulness in the real world.However, as a prospective student in a foreign language classroom, you should choose based on your personal goals and interests. Ask yourself what do I intend to do with knowledge of this language; am I attracted to the history and culture of the countries where this language is spoken; am I interested enough in this language to complete at least several years of study. Asking and answering these questions should help make this decision easier.Q9: What is the main idea of this passage?Q10: What is a school of thought?Q11: With which of the following statements would the speaker agree?The number of applicants the University of California has received this year has reached another record high – for the 12th consecutive year.In all, over 206,000 students have applied to one of the nine campuses for admission next fall, 6.4% more than last year.

The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top”by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a newchildren’s film.

So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “Oh well, it’s time for us, we should get going.”And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3Inside viewActivity 2Mark’s answers:1 T2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory?2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

We’ve decided to get involved. Janet :Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don’t usually do that.Mark :Stu dents often do that here. Anyway, we’re thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet :Sponsored punting! What’s that?Kate :Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet :What a great idea! I’d love to join you!Mark :That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list of things we need to do.Kate :I’ll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.Mark :Yes. And cho ose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I’ve got one here.Kate :That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?Mark :I’ll do that. What have we got so far?Kate :Choose a charity. Also a day for the event.

He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.AlexHarvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of government, for the John F. Kennedy School of Government, so, era, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.V/OWe asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.AshleyUm, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and … Um, there’s a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s what I do.AdamIt is whatever you want it to be. It’s good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.BrianSocially, like you said, it’s, it’s a lot of what you make it. Um, we don’t have fra ternities here, and so, you know, that’s, it’s obviously not as social. There’s not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o’clock. And then we, and then we’ll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. JodieNot everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it’s, I think it’s a fun place to be.Int.Have you made a lot of friends?JodieOh, definitely.Int. :Mm.JodieMany.Int.What, what do you do with your friends?JodieUm, well, I like to go to concerts. I’m in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.V/OWe asked the Harvard students if they use theInternet.AshleyUm, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that a lot. And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so.Int.So how often do you use it, a week, a day?AshleyUm, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week.BrianOh yes, definitely. We live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet; follow me stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even though e-mail is not officially Internet, we, that’s how we communicate a lot at college, so, through the e-mail.JohnUm, I use the internet mostly for, er, I’d say, sort of leisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don’t, we don’t have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there’s some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to see what’s happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don’t usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so.Listening inPassage1V/OHi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers –now half-way through their first year –the question, “How are you finding uni?” Here are some of the answers we got.Speaker 1It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already.Speaker 2I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month –that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3“How am I finding uni?” It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I –I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and getting good grades.Speaker 4Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently –yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah –I’m feeling a lot happier now.Speaker 5Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem –and it’s quite a big problem – is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t –it’s just not enough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage2Oxford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as “Oxbridge”. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world’s best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modern universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge’s comedy clubFootlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK’s most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.Unit 2Inside viewConversation1Kate :Come in.

Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager.Kate :Try not to worry about it, Janet. It’s normal to feel like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will be fine next term. You’ll get used to it. Hey, why don’t you do what I do?Janet :What’s that?Kate :When my dad calls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I getto hear his voice!Janet :Maybe.

I was busy doing an essay but I was really pleased to see her. She’d had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick.Mark :Poor kid! It must be tough on you guys, living so far away from home.Kate :I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, “I must go now” and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if I’d said something wrong.Mark :Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were working and didn’t want to disturb you.Kate :I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to make her laugh? Perhaps she thought I wasn’t taking h er seriously.Mark :I wouldn’t worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes.

Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while, but recently there’s been this new idea of the EQ –your emotional quotient. And by now, it’s actually almost being regarded as more import ant. If you look at it, businesses will ... Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, (I)mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with other people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference betweenIQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a “brainiac”, and they will be great at most things they do, but if you just can’t get along with him, if you just can’t communicate with him, I mean, you know, he’snot really that useful.KimHi. This is Kim. I’m originally from Korea, and I was raised in California. And today, we are going to talk about the differences between IQ and EQ –IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in … When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take … I think I’d taken like two or thre e IQ tests before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about … It’s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.I think they’re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stres s on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there’s a better mixture of the two I think. There’s a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My name is Ted, and I’m from the United States of America. Today, I’m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ – which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “IQ. What’s your IQ? Take an IQ test.” But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they’re … that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ – how you deal with people, how you interact with people – is important. Now, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I’m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening – listening to others – and it can be more important than IQ.Listening inPassage1PresenterWe’re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has just written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world of advertising. It’s called Market Colours. Dr Hudson, which are the most common colours in advertising and marketing? Dr HudsonWell, of course, it depends what image the marketing team wish to project with their products. So for example, we often think of blue as a cold colour, but it also makes you feel peaceful, quiet, and it doesn’t suggest strong emotions. So it’s a favourite f or banks and insurance companies, who wish to suggest the image that they are trustworthy. And for selling products, it’s often used to suggest something is pure and fresh.What about red?You can sell almost anything with red. It’s a hot colour, which suggests a feeling of energy and even passion. It grabs your attention, and can make people buy almost anything. You often see red on magazine covers. But if you use it too much, it looks cheap and may make people tired. And orange has a similar effect to red, it’s upbeat and happy, it suggests pleasant feelings and images. Most people react well to orange, and it’s especially popular in advertising and on packaging for baked food.What about yellow, for instance?Yellow is the colour of sunshine and it’s a positive, happy colour, so it’s used a lot in advertising. But it’s also often used for warning signs, direction signs, and so on, where you have to read the message quickly and at a distance.What about less popular colours for advertising?Surprisin gly, green isn’t used much in advertising except for garden products. It’s friendly and restful. It can be cool and soothing, the colour of apples and mint, but it can also be quite strong and many people associate it with unpleasant ideas of decay or slimy creatures. But most colours are not primary colours, they’re a combination. Absolutely. So yellow-orange is common, and often used to give animpression of style and class, it looks like gold. But it’s not often used in letters because it’s not very stron g. And yellow-green reminds people of feeling sick.Blue-green works well as a cool colour, suggesting freshness, and is sometimesused for toothpaste products, bathroom products, food and household cleaning products. It has many of the advantages of blue without the disadvantages of green.Fascinating.Thank you very much, DrScriptsHudson. Market Colours by Dr JennaHudson is on sale from next week,priced £15.99 …Passage2Presenter :What makes you embarrassed, Sally?Sally :Oh, I’m easily embar rassed. If anybody notices me or looks at me, I get very embarrassed. When people sing me Happy Birthday on my birthday, I get very embarrassed.Presenter :And what makes you upset?Sally :When people are selfish, people who think only of themselves. And cruelty –I can’t bear people who are cruel, especially to animals or children.Presenter :Jake, what makes you depressed?Jake :I hate it when it rains, and I don’t like people who look down on me, who think they’re superior to me without any reason.Presenter :And what makes you angry?Jake :When people don’t behave properly in public, bad behaviour like dropping litter or people pushing each other on the bus or the train.Presenter :Andrew, what makes you cheerful?Andrew :I like to see everyone around me being happy and having a positive attitude towards the future, optimistic people.Presenter :And what makes you jealous?Andrew :Well, to be honest, I just never feel jealous. I can’t see the point of it.Presenter :Monica, what makes you proud?Monica :I’m proud when I’m successful, especially in my work. Being recognized by my boss for what I can do makes me feel really proud. Oh, and my family. I’m very proud of them. Presenter :And what makes you nervous?Monica :Every time I teach a new class. The night before I’m very nervous. You don’t know what the kids are going to be like and how they might behave, or if they’re going to like you.

I don’t believe it! It’s gone!Mark :It was next to mine, you chained it up!Kate :Someone’s stolen it! Oh, how could they!Mark :Oh, Kate!Kate :How could someone have done this! The creep!Mark :It’s a really mean thing to do, steal a bike.Kate :It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune –I don’t have the money to buy another one. Mark :Listen, I’ll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don’t you go into that shop and see if they’ve seen anything suspicious? I’ll be back in a minute.Kate :OK.…Kate :Well?Mark :No luck. What did they say in the shop?Kate :I asked the shopkeeper if she’d seen anything –Mark :And?Kate :She said she hadn’t. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police. But according to her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.Mark :Listen, let’s get back so you ca n report it.Kate :I’ve got no bike. I’m just so upset!Mark :It’s not far to college. Come on!Conversation2Mark :So did you ring the police?Kate :Yes. I went to the police station to report it.Mark :What did they say?Kate :No one’s found it. T his woman said that Oxford has the fifth highest rate of bike theftin the country!Mark :You’re joking!Kate :That’s what she said.Mark :What else did she say?Kate :She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back – the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and then people find them and report them.Mark :So you might get it back.Kate :I hope so, Mark, I really do. It’s just too much you know? But … um … what else? She told me to go to this sale they have of abandoned bikes. She thi nks I might find it there. But it’s only every two months, I can’t wait till then! Honestly, Mark, I’m really furious!Mark :You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.Kate :Hello … Speaking … You found it! Where was it? Is it …?

Was that the police?Kate :Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside this guy’s backyard.Mark :That’s so strange!Kate :The lamp’s been stolen and the basket.Mark :Forget about it! You’re lucky to get it back!Outside viewPart1PresenterDodgy deals aren’t the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your doorstep presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home.I’m joined now by Ian Holt, from Thames Valley Police. Ian, just outline for me what does distraction burglary actually entail?IanHoltWell basically what happens is, somebody uses a story to get inside somebody’s house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.PresenterAnd what are the different techniques that are commonly used?IanHoltWell basically the er … the people that commit this crime move from area to area, er … they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may beer, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property. Something that indicates that there’s, there’s a vulnerable person in there. It … usually, it’s an elderly person that lives there. Is this quite a common problem now? It is becoming more common. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary.But, it … there’s a slight increase this year over last year’s figures.OK, you mentioned some of the victimsbeing elderly. What other people aretargeted?Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there’s such a thing as a, a victim for this type of crime, is a white female aged 81 years.And what about things that people can do to prevent it happening, basically?Well the things they can do are very, very simple. The difficulty comes, is that some of these people, er … it’s very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the thre e things we, we always say is: stop, chain and check. And that’s stop before you open the door to make sure who’s on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven’t got a chain, fit a chain to the door, or a door bar if you’ve got difficulty in handli ng a chain with arthritic fingers.But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from the Water Board or from utilities. They may say they’re from a charity or even from local authority. But generally, a utility will be in uniform.Ask for their identification. A genuine person will not mind you doing that and will wait until you can check them out. If you do need to check them, phone the number on, on your last bill. What won’t happen is t hat if it is a bogus caller, they will become unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.PresenterOK and there’s also a couple of gadgets new on the market that also can help as well. Just talk us through that.IanHoltCertainly, yes. The … a spy er … viewer is fairly standard. But for elderly who may have poor eyesight there’s a spyscope which actually makes it a lot easier for them to see who’s outside.As I mentioned before about the door bar, again, it can be easier to apply than the chain. Very reasonable priced er, and something that is fairly new … as I mentioned before it’s very difficult for some of these people to remember what they have to do when they go to the door and that’s why they become victims.And this item is called a Memo Minder and actually you can record a message on there and it’s nice to have a grand-daughter or somebody to record a message, but every time the person approaches the door it reminds them with a voice to say “Putyour chain on.”Listening inPassage1Patrick :I read a funny story today in the paper – true story.Steve :Go on, then.Patrick :OK. This 72-year old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The manthenbit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve :He bit the policeman?Patrick :Yes – you have to remember, he was 72.Steve :I’d forgot ten that.Patrick :Problem was, it didn’t hurt the policeman at all, ’cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before he left home.Steve :Very funny!Patrick :And the moral of the story is –Steve :Always remember to wear your false teeth if you’re going to bite someone.Patrick :That’s good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let’s see … yeah … this guy … this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America –I can’t remember where exactly – anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he’d stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, “Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I’m wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I’d taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you.”Steve :He was probably telling the truth.Patrick :He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call – the guy was ringing from a phone booth – and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve :That’s good. Stupid guy! I’ve got another true story … This – this – old guy was in court for some crime – and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer s tood up and said, “My client pleads not guilty.” The man suddenly woke up, but wasn’t sure what was happening. He jumped up and shouted, “I plead guilty! I plead guilty!”Patrick :So what happened?Steve :The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick :That’s the best, I think.Passage2Presenter :You’re listening to Kevin Fallon and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone –and it’s a very frightening experience. So it’s positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a mugger and defeated them – especially when that person is a woman. Anna Black was attacked by a mugger. She’s here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?News 24/7 Unit 4AnnaJust over a week ago. The day it happened,I was coming home from work a bit laterthan usual – I think it was about seven. Iwas on my mobile phone, talking to myhusband.PresenterAnd it was still daylight?Anna :Yes. Anyway, suddenly, someone pulled my hair from behind – and at the same time they。

Then you’ll say, “Oh w ell, it’s time for us, we should get going.”And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3Inside viewActivity 2Mark’s answers:1 T2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory?2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something a bout memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

thats a special oxford subject, isnt it?outside viewjulie my names julie dearden, and im the director of international programmes here at hertford college.eugene my names eugene berger, i studied here in oxford for four years er, studying modern languages atsomerville college.julie oh, there are many oxford traditions. oxford is a very old university, the oldest english-speaking universityin the, in the world. and so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.eugene each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. some colleges arevery conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. but there are also some specific traditions.julie formal hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. usually it takesplaces at seven oclock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. but everybody eats together. its a very beautiful evening because there are, theres a special meal and we eat by candlelight.eugene i think er, the traditions that make oxford so unique are firstly the oxford union and er, secondly, mayday. the oxford union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. julie my favourite is er, may day. and may day is the first day of may, and we have a tradition called maymorning, and on may morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. there is a choir which sings on top of the tower at magdalen college and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. so its very nice.eugene the tradition that er, was most important to me was probably summer eights. i was a rower. and summereights is a rowing competition, held in may in the summer term. and in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.julie when the students take exams, they must go to a special building and its called examination schools. andeugene i think the oxford traditions lend character to the place and its such an old institution, it should havetraditions, but they can be very inconvenient. for example, sub fuse. this is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.julie they also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. and they wear differentcolours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. so when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.eugene so we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. and towrite an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which youre not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.julie i really like the oxford traditions, i think its part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacherhere at oxford university.listening inpassage 1interviewer can you tell me something about the ivy league? youre a professor at harvard, is that right? professor thats right, yes.interviewer tell me how many universities are there? how many institutions?professor in total there are eight institutions: theres harvard, yale, brown, columbia, cornell, dartmouth,princeton, and the university of pennsylvania.interviewer ah, ok. and whats the sporting ... i believe theres some link with sports.professor there certainly is, yes. originally the ivy league referred to the sports teams from the universitieswhich competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. but in the last 50 years, ivy league schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasnt possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.interviewer and what about their academic importance? i gather theyre academically very, very important,theyre very well-known.professor absolutely at the top. theyre near or at the top of the usa colleges and university rankings. andtheyre almost always in the top one per cent of the worlds academic institutions for financial resources. interviewer and what does it mean socially to go to an ivy league university?professor certainly if youve been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end ofthe scale. the ivy league institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white anglo-saxon, protestants. not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.interviewer and do you know ... whys it called the ivy league, whats the origin of the name?professor there are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly its based on four universities, and iv, the lettersiv, thats the roman numeral for four. another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. the term was created by a sports journalist, i think in the 1930s.interviewer right, ok. and which is the oldest university?professor the oldest goes back to the 17th century, thats harvard which was founded in 1636. and the youngestof the institutions is cornell which was founded in 1865. interviewer and which has the largest number of undergraduates?professor cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. the institution with the smallestnumber is dartmouth college with a little over 4,000.interviewer and what about the acceptance rate? is it hard to get into?professor that ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.interviewer and any famous alumni? famous old boys?professor hundreds! hundreds of them. but i suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all overthe world would certainly be george bush who went to yale, and john f kennedy, president kennedy, who was at harvard.interviewer thank you.passage2andy did you see the film on television last night?jane no, i was out. what was it?andy a beautiful mind. its about john forbes nash, the mathematician who won the nobel prize.jane ive heard about that film, yes. hes played by russell crowe, isnt he? i like russell crowe, hes great. andy thats the one, yes.jane whats it about?andy well, the story begins in the early years of nashs life at princeton university as a graduate student. jane thats one of the ivy league schools, isnt it?andy yes, its all set in new england, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. its lovely to look at.anyway, nash meets his roommate charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. nash admits to charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing hes looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.jane so hes not interested in having fun?andy well, yes, but hes not very good with people or successful with women, thats all. but, you know, its one ofthese bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.jane no good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?andy thats about right, yes. so when he finishes his studies at princeton, he accepts a job at massachusettsinstitute of technology. five years later, he meets alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.jane ah! at last, the love interest!andy yes, but wait a moment. nash believes that hes been asked to work by william parcher for the usdepartment of defense on breaking soviet codes. at one point hes chased by the russians, and its after this that he becomes mentally ill.jane i think ive seen this in the trailer to the film.andy so when hes put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the soviets have captured him. hes given this painfultreatment which affects his relationship with his wife. and his intellectual skills. so he stops taking the medicine.jane it sounds quite hard to watch.andy well, it is, but its well acted and directed, and so, you know, theres a-bit of distance between the audienceand whats happening on film.jane so what happens next?andy well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. it all gets a bit complicated,because were no longer sure if charles, you know, his old friend, or even parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in nashs mind.jane that sounds awful. he must have been so ill,andy actually, im kind of giving away the twist in the story. anyway, later in his life, while hes using the libraryat princeton again, he asks his rival martin hansen if he can start teaching again. and so the story ends when he goes on to win the nobel prize in economics.jane well, it sounds like a great film.andy yes, you should see it sometime.unit 3 learning to

that. but we dont have so much training in critical thinking. kate what do you mean by critical thinking? janet let me think ... i think its giving your opinion and then justifying it.kate yes, i suppose thats what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.janet i am getting better at it, i suppose.kate hey! how about this? lets pretend im your tutor. ill make a statement. your task is to examine it and thenask questions.janet ok.kate everyone is capable of learning a second language. go on, ask a question!janet why do you say that?kate thats what the research tells us. now ask another one.janet can you give an example of some research?kate um ... no! look, im starving and i cant think at all when im hungry.outside viewpart 1teacher good morning, class.students good morning.teacher what were going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. now have any of youheard about mind maps before?students yes ... no ...teacher yes. some of you have, some of you havent. ok. have any of you actually used mind maps in the past? students no ... teacher no? ok. who can tell me what a mind map is?student 1 its a way of thinking.teacher it is a way of thinking. mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize orstructure our ideas related to a topic. what id like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. what are some of the reasons for using mind maps?student 2 to make a list?teacher to make a list? yes. we could say to brainstorm ideas. everyone contributes then-ideas as many ideas asquickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. ok, brainstorming is one of the mostimportant um, um, uses of mind maps. what might be another use or another reason for using mind maps?student 3 it can help me take notes in the class.teacher ok, for the note-taking, a very good reason. mindmaps help us to get an overview or a, a quickunderstanding about a subject. by using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, avery general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly. what are some other uses of mind maps?student 4 preparing for exams?teacher ok. preparing for exams. thats a, a very good reason. we might call this, er, revision. before an exam,after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about the subject. are there any other uses that you can thinkof for mind mapping?student 5 we can also use it for finding answers.teacher for finding answers. thats, thats a very good, good answer. we could call this problem-solving. we canuse mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives, or options to, to, to solve a problem. ok. next, id like us to talk about some of the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing everything on a piece of paper.one of the most obvious advantages, as you can see, is that mind maps are very visual. they give us um, almost a picture, a, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way. are there any other advantages that you canthink of for mind mapping?student 4 it lists the main points.teacher they do. they do list the main points. we could call this um, a quick summary. as you can see, we havemain ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts. and in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key connections for mind maps or for our given subject. are there any other advantages you can think of? student 1 to think creatively.teacher to think creatively. thats, thats a very good point. we could call this creative thinking. and what wemean here is basically thinking outside of the box or thinking laterally. mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.part2teacher next, id like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps. so far we have completedthree quarters of our mind map about mind maps. and then id just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about.student 2 there is a centre.teacher there is a centre. there is what we call a central word, a central word or a phrase. it might also be asentence or a question. you might have that in the centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. what else do you notice about the design of this mind map?student 1 there are only words, not sentences.teacher exactly. there are many what we call key words as they capture the main thought of, of an issue ratherthan a long sentence or, or a passage. this helps us to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as well. what other aspects of design do you notice here?student 5 it looks like a tree.teacher it does look like a tree because it has branches. by having branches, it shows how, um, thinking isradiating out or spiraling out from key ideas or central ideas to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. are there any other aspects of design which you notice in this particular map?student 2 you used a lot of colours.teacher i did. i perhaps use too many colours. i have used different colour to show the different key words ordifferent aspects of mind mapping. you might like to use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map or key information. or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. its very much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan your thinking. you might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the key words. or you might even use symbols. well put a question mark because this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. for example, i might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or identifying my central phrase, mind maps. this could be a, a feature of my own mind maps. whenever i design a mind map, i highlight my central thought using a speech bubble symbol.listening inpassage 1interviewer with us today is martin downes, a carpenter, whos 51. a year ago, martin had a stroke. but hesbeen lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. can you tell us how it all began, martin?martin im very happy to - not that i remember much at all. i was at a customers house, building a cupboard, andthe next thing i knew, i woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.interviewer it must have been very frightening.martin it was. but what was really frightening was that i couldnt speak. i couldnt say a word. and i couldntunderstand much that people said to me.interviewer how awful!martin yeah! i dont know what would have happened to me if i hadnt had my family. but they were there for me,they really were. i had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. but they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. this speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. they made me do all these exercises.interviewer what kind of exercises?martin i had to match words and pictures and say their names. you see, id also forgotten the names of a lot ofthings. she had this thing called a word board and i could point to words and phrases on it that i wanted to say. i had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.interviewer could you say anything to begin with?martin i could say three words. hi, yes and no. that was all. and there were a lot of words i couldntunderstand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.【篇三:新标准大学英语视听说教程1unit3答案】00171120)详细记录班级:2010-1-031 教师:李想unit 3 inside view: converstation 1 activity
