Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Don’t pack the night before you travel.You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.2.Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like cameras and cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.3.Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses the empty space and helps theshoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.4.Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, tr aveler’s checks, creditcards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Putthose the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons.

Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased. You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a universityor join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and。

You have to understand people and their problems. A good doctor likes to solve problems and always wants to help his or her patients and you can’t be impulsive — you should always be careful.

Well, I still have ten minutes.Q: When is the man’s meeting?3. M: Thank you, Laura. We’d like to go to the barbecue with you. What time should we be thereW: Some people are coming around 11:00, and we’re going to play badminton, but we won’t eat until around 12:30. Q: At what time are they going to eat?4. M: I knew Dr. Smith’s birthday was October 26th, but I didn’t realize it was this Saturday.W: Let’s give him a surprise party. We could ask him to meet us at his office at 5, and then we could take him to dinner at the restaurant around 5:30.Q: What time does the woman suggest meeting Dr. Smith?5. M: I just read that Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, when very little was understood about time and energy.W: Absolutely. But when he died on April 18, 1955, people knew a lot more, and nuclear power stations had been built. Q: When was Einstein born?1.D2.B3.C4.A5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: A PictureI have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I’m worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time we’ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them, or a letter in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos. I often get e-mail with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties, and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest. Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences, and has enriched the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation.1.C2.A3.D4.B5.BTask 2: Problem of Meeting PeopleAs a foreign student, I have a number of problems, both academically and socially. The biggest one is meeting people. I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems from my studies, but I’m not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps I’m worrying unnecessarily, but I find it difficult to talk to them and to make friends. The primary reasons is the language barrier. My English is quite standard and forma, and although that helps me with my academic work, I have trouble understanding other students when they are just talking. It seems to me that in order to meet with other students I really need informal, colloquial English. Besides, there’s the cultural gap. That’s why it’s so difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other. I really want to overcome this difficulty. I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about course work that we share; and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee. Over coffee we could get to know each other. Another way would be to join a club, like a tennis club or a photo club, because that immediately gives you something in common with other people there. It gives you a starting point to build on.1.He has both academic and social problems.2.He fells confident about his ability to cope with his studies.3.The language barrier is the main reason why he finds it hard to make friends with local students.4.It is difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other because thereis the cultural gap.5.Te best way for the overseas students to actually overcome the difficulty of making friends with native English speakingstudents is to start talking about course work.Task 3: Long Distance FriendshipsI have quite a few long distance friendships. How do I maintains these relationships? Well, I believe friendship is very important, But I also think friendship really needs tending—like plants in the garden. It’s important to keep up to date with my friends, something that’s hard to do with long distances between us. But over the years I have managed to stay very tight with my friends, even though distances separate us. Jane lives in another city, and she’s not much for writing letters, so we talk on the phone at least once a week, usually for an hour at a time. We take turns calling each other, so I stay close to her through the phone. My phone bills are high, but I consider them just another living expense, like rent. Other friends I e-mail. I have one friend who just isn’t into writing letters. I’ve known her for a long time. We’ve always considered ourselves friends, but over time I’ve always been in and out of touch with her. But she is always on-line—e-mail is her thing. Since I’ve gotten an e-mail address, I e-mail her twice a week. Now, I’m back in good touch with her. She’ll often sit down and write me e-mail, but she just wouldn’t do it with pen and paper. E-mail’s really a great way to keep in touch with friends.1.maintain2.tending3.date4.phone5.turns6.bills7.expenses8.e-mail 10.touchTask 4: An Announcement1.The Student Friendship Association2.outing3.school gate4.6:405.7 sharp6.on timeIV.

She’s in hospital.Susan: I hope she’ll be fine.Sarah: So do I.V. Let’s TalkJack: Hi, I’ve been looking for you since the morning. I couldn’t find you anywhere.Jane: Yeah. I don’t feel like hanging out with the crowd any more, especially since Susan stopped coming to school. Jack: I know. It’s such a pity about her parents: losing one parent is bad enough, but losing them both on the same day and in such an accident…It’s terrible! Have you seen her since?Jane: No. I tired talking to her on the phone. She sounded bad.Jack: The other day, I talked to Mr. Smith—you know that tall guy who works in the Dean’s Office. Apparently, Susan is thinking of dropping out of school. She has almost money, you know. Her parents didn’t have much savings.Jane: Yeah. I’ve been quite worried about her. But simply feelings sorry for her is not enough; we have to think of some way to help her. Have any suggestions?Jack: Well, I haven’t really thought about it. I could possibly give her some money. I’ve saved up from my part-time job. Jane: Wow. You’re so generous! But…that wouldn’t be a long-term solution.Jack: That’s true…Perhaps we could help her find a part-time job.Jane: Good idea! The lady who runs the shop where I work at night could be helpful. If Susan is interested, I can introduce her to the lady.Jack: Great! Once she gets a regular income, things will be better. More than anything else, it will take her mind off her tragedy.Jane: Hmm…I was wondering, could we organize a fund-raiser for her?Jack: Well, I’m not so sure how that would work. You know, taking help from us, her best friends, is one thing, but getting the whole school involved may not be a good idea.Jane: Yeah. You’re right. We’ll think of something else. In the meantime let’s go ahead with what we’ve planned. (Looking at her watch) Oh! It’s five to two. I have a class. I gotta run. Let’s meet tonight.

OK?A, show your agreement to B’s opinion.Good. I would also love to be helpful.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Worry of a TeacherSusan Smith cared for her students very much, and they all liked her. She wanted them to learn and to be happy. She had a special relationship with one student, Doris. Doris had been to Susan’s house several times and had come to know her husband and children. Lately, Susan had been very worried about Doris because the student’s hometown had recently been hit by a strong earthquake. Susan observed that Doris had lost a lot of weight and often had dark circles under her eyes. She talked to Doris and was as helpful as she could be, but felt that Doris really should see a doctor. One day, Susan talked to Doris and suggested that she go to the health center to talk to one of the doctors. Doris’ face became very red. She said, “I don’t need a doctor. How could you make a suggestion like that? I thought you were my friend!” Susan was very surprised by Doris’ reaction. She said, “I’m sorry to have upset you. I just want to help.” After that conversation, Doris stopped talking to Susan. She also transferred out of her class.1. learn happy2. earthquake3. weight dark circles4. the health center turned red5. surprised talking transferredTask 2: How to build lifelong friendship?You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime. However, lifelong friendships are not always what everybody can get. Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your friends to be near at hand, but also you need your independence and privacy. For example, when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “no”to hi or her because it is nor convenient for you. Unfortunately, not all your friends understand this type of independence. They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes”. Also, misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help. You expect your friends to help you mo matter what the circumstances are. But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs. This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade. The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: At Your SideWhen the daylight’s gone and you’re on your own,And you need a friend just to be around.I will comfort you; I will take your hands.And I’ll pull you through, I will understand.And you know that I’ll be at your side.There’s no need to worry.Together we’ll survive through the haste and hurry.I’ll be at your side.If you feel like you’re alone, and you’ve nowhere to turn,I’ll be at your side.If life’s standing still and your soul’s confused,And you cannot find what road to choose.If you make mistakes,You can’t let me down.I will still believe,I will turn around…。

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.

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.。

I' m tired, I'm in a bad mood, and I don't care about my hair. Amy: That's probably why you're not a reporter yet.T alia : Y ou think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding...T alia : Y ou may be right.Amy : Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class.Talia : Oh, no! Our journalism c lass! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework?Amy : Compare two news stories on the same topic.T alia : That's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting,too.

I have something important to talk to you about. What are you working on?Talia : I'm researching the background information for that transportation story.Amy : She's always working. She told me to tell you that.Tony : I have a big project for you to work on. I know you've been hoping for a break. This may be it.T alia : Really? That's great!T ony : Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsVideo 1T ony : Someone sent us this tape. This is incredible. What a shame.T alia : What' s a shame?Tony: Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? He's the star forward on our national team.Talia : Of course. Everyone's heard of him, I think.T ony : Well, apparently this conversation took place a while ago: Nick Crawford talks about how he needs money.Amy: That's not big news. There's a rumor that he's fallen into debt lately. I'v e heard all sorts of gossip about that.T ony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000.T alia : What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and couldn't play in that game?T alia : Sure, I remember. We lost that match, and if we lose again, we might be eliminated.Tony : Exactly. The next qualifying round is coming up. If this tape is real, Nick Crawford will be history.Amy : Y ou mean, he won't get to play in the next match?Tony: Exactly. And w ithout him, we'll probably lose again.Amy: Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony :Talia, that's your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you'd better find out fast.Video 2T alia : OK. I'll get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, we'll run the tape on tonight's broadcast—before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copy of this tape.Talia : Speaking of copies, we ought to make a copy of this. We shouldn't give away our only one.Tony: Good thinking. Amy ... handle this w ith care.Amy: Absolutely!T alia : See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.T ony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I'm on it.T ony : Is there a problem?Talia : Not exactly. I'll do it. It's just that ... I know Nick Crawford.T ony: Y ou do?Talia: Yes. We went to college together. It's hard to believe he would do something like this.T ony: Well, wake up and smell the coffee, Talia! He's a big star. He's been a star on the national team for four years now.People do crazy things when they get famous.Talia: I just can't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, T alia. You're smart. Y ou're a good researcher, and one day— I hope — you'll be a great reporter. But don't let your emotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I'll have to find someone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job For T aliaVideo 1Woman’s voice on tape:We’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick’s voice on tape:And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman’s voice o n tape:That’s right. Do that, and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick’s voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. Y ou’ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.T ony: How’s it going?T alia: I can’t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.T ony: Me, too, when will we have the results?T alia: He’s going to call me back this afternoon.T ony: Good.T alia: Y ou know, I’ve been a researcher here for three years. I’ve investigated other scandals.But something here doesn’t seem right.T ony: What do you mean?T alia: It just doesn’t make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career?T ony: That’s a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours?T alia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters.T ony: Oh, that’s it?T alia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about 10 years ago. I know that he’s smart. AndI know that he’s always dreamed of being a great soccer star.T ony: Mm-hmm.T alia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video 2T alia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.T ony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else.T alia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.T ony: That’s true.T alia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.T ony: I don’t know…T alia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.T ony: T alia, look, you’re not a reporter yet, you’re still a researcher. Remember?T alia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?T ony: All right, I’ll give you one more day. But only one more day.T alia: Y ou won’t be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?T ony: What do you mean?T alia: I mean, you’ll let me report it, won’t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything?T ony: Y ou deserve a break. I know that. I’ll tell you what: come up with something big and the story is yours. But,Talia be careful.T alia: What do you mean?T ony: This Nick Crawford guy… I hear he can be very charming. Don’t let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of T rustVideo 1T alia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don’t I?T alia: Yes. I’m T alia, T alia Santos.Nick: Y eah, T alia! Of course!T alia: After all these years, I’m surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class together, weren’t we?T alia: Tha’s right, the Shakes peare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.T alia: Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn’t we?T alia: Yes, that’s right. As I recall, you did really well on it.Nick: That’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.T alia: V ery cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?T alia: Not exactly. I’m a researcher now… with Newsline.Nick: Oh, I see. Well, news people aren’t my favourite people right now. I heard there’s a nasty story coming out about me.Something about me throwing a game?T alia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video 2T alia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. Y ou don’t trust me, do you?Nick: Nope. Y ou’re in the news business. Y ou’re all alike.T alia: Hey, don’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I? Really. Y ou can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win the qualifying match next weekend. After that I will deal with this mess.T alia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Y es. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.T alia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That’s impossible.T alia: No, it’s not. That’s why I want you to talk to me. I want your story. Did you or didn’t you take the money? Did you or didn’t you throw the game?Nick: Oh, you want to hear my story? Do you want to hear the true story, or the story that will get your show more viewers?Which story do you really want? Take your pick.T alia: The only story I want is the true story.Nick: Well, the truth is, I didn’t do it. I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationVideo 1T alia: OK, let’s get this straight. Y ou’re one of the country’s best soccer players…Nick:Well, I have to admit —that's true. Of course, some people think that’s not such a great achievement.T alia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of the year.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a sprained（扭伤）ankle. I could hardly walk, I certainly couldn’t play.T alia: But your coach can’t verify this.Nick: Of course not. Y ou can’t see a sprain on an X-ray.T alia: Y ou can’t?Nick: No.T alia:I see…Nick:Y ou don’t have to believe me, but it’s the truth. I sat out the first round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.T alia:And not because you took a bribe.Nick:A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?T alia:Then can you explain the tape?Nick:What tape?T alia:Listen to this.Woman’s voice on tape: We’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars.Nick’s voice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman’s voice on tape: That’s right. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick’s voice on tape: Well, I can really use the money. Y ou’ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick:It sure sounds like my voice, but I don’t know why. Why would I do something so stupid?T alia:That’s what I want to know.Nick:Hey, Coach! Can I talk to you a minute? Some TV station is going to report that I deliberately sat out a game! Coach:I know all about it. Who is this?Nick:This is an old friend of mine from college, T alia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean:Hey.Coach:Hi.T alia:Nice to meet you both.Coach:Would you excuse us for a moment, please?T alia:Sure.Coach:Look. I don’t think it’s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Y eah, you’ve got that right.Nick:Coach, I just don’t get it. Why would anybody try to do this to me?Coach:Well, we’re going to find that out. Now, I don’t want to worry you, Nick, but I’ve been getting some pressure from the Soccer Federation.Nick:What do you mean?Coach:They want you to sit out the game next week.Dean:No!Nick:They can’t do that!Coach:Y es, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don’t think we can win without you.Unit 6 Bad NewsVideo 1T alia: I don’t think he did it.T ony: What do you mean?T alia: Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.T ony: And you have that feeling because…T alia: Well, for one thing, he told me he’s innocent.T ony: And you believe it.T alia: As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something… Something is funny here. He’s a soccer star.Making money is not a problem for him.Amy: But gambling may be a problem for him.T ony: Y es, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.T ony: And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I’ve seen a lot of people do stupid things.Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense.T alia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.T ony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, T alia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match.T alia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Video 2T ony: Y ou can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. We’re going with this story tonight. If we don’t, the competition may beat us to it.Amy: Y ou’ve got to admit, T alia, it doesn’t look good.T alia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem.T ony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.T alia: I just don’t think that’s true in this case.T ony: Y ou just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you’re all right working on this by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.T alia: No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I’d be fair. I promised you I wouldn’t let my emotions color my judgment.And I promised myself I’ d do a good job.T ony: OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John.T alia: Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. Y ou won’t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement DealVideo 1T alia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, T alia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?T alia:No. Actually I prefer1 to stand.Nick:OK, whatever2. So now what’s going on?T alia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before the qualifying match. Fifty thousand dollars! Nick:So?T alia:So? So that’s exactly the amount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game3.Nick:It’s also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing4 a new line5 of athletic shoes.T alia:Oh, really?Nick:Y es, really. The y’re going to be called Kicks. They’re coming out6 next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7than your old shoes.More comfortable, too.And they’re less expensive than they look.Come and get your Kicks8!”T alia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent9? I wanna confirm10this “endorsement deal”. Nick:Except11, I didn’t use an agent.T alia:No agent? What a surprise!12Video 2Nick:T alia, this is what happened.T alia:Ooh, here comes another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here.Jackie:Excuse me, aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick:Y es, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie:No, not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I’m the VP13 of Marketing for Kicks Shoes.Nick:Uh-huh.Jackie:And I have a very interesting proposition14 for you.Nick:Keep going. I was listening.Jackie:Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say15, 12:30. We can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you about the deal.Nick:She offered16 me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.T alia:That’s it?Nick:Basically17.T alia:Hmm.Nick:Well, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. Y ou can call h er yourself if you like.T alia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes. OK, I’ll call her. Y ou know, on second thought18, I’d rather pay her a visit19.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1T alia: Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist: Hmmm. I don’t think… I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.T alia: No. I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker.Receptionist No, definitely not. There's no one here by that name.T alia: This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: Y es. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.T alia: Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here.Receptionist: I don’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long, I might add.… Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was an architect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Areyou sure you’re not looking for Jacob Banker?T alia: No. No. The name is Jackie Baker. She’s a VP at Kicks Shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Kicks Shoes? Hold on a second. I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of Kicks Shoes and they’re not in our directory. Are you sure you’re in the right place?T alia: No. I’m not sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about an ything anymore.Video 2T alia: Oh, no. My cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment?Receptionist: Y ou seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone?T alia: I don’t know. Maybe. Probably… Y es!Receptionist: In that case ,be my guest. Just dial 9 first.Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone’s in big trouble.Nick: Hello.T alia: Hello, Nick. It’s T alia. Remember me?Nick: Of course I remember you.T alia: I wasn’t sure. Y ou seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts.Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, didn’t I?T alia: There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve never even heard of Kicks Shoes.Nick: That’s ridiculous! Y ou’ve got her business card. Y ou’re at the Gower Building?T alia: That’s right.Nick: But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch… Have you tried calling her?T alia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “The person you are calling is not available”. I thought it was odd.Nick: Look, T alia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.T alia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you’re gonna see a good story on Newsline, you’re wrong! Good-bye, Nick. Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No Help for NickVideo1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry.

The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean : Y ou're talking crazy now.Nick : It was you Dean. I know it was you. I guess you didn't expect me to figure it out.Dean : Wow, Nick. Y ou've, uh, you've made up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard. Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean : Y eah? Oh, this is so typical of you. Always so sure of yourself. Always the most popular guy on the team. Well, you're not so popular now, Nick y boy.Nick : I know what you did.Dean : Y ou think you know. But let's see you prove it.。
