In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it—far more than we need."The businessman said, "I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year. Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling."He replied, "Cigars are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we know what to do with."The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grabbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window. He did that probably because he thought there were too many lawyers in the United States.

新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册听力练习录音文本和答案Uintl- Uint6UintlIII. Listening InWhile the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like “Mental Visualization”, that is, creating a picture in one,s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of “Association”, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woma n adds the principle of “Consolidation”, or reviewing one,s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of “Distributed Practice”, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, “Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?”Before the man left, she added, “Why don,t you write that down so you won't forget?”“Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I'd like some strawberries on it. You,d better write that down because I know your memory is failin g.”“Don,t be silly,” replied the husband. “There,re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!”With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, “Hey, you forget the toast!”Uint2III. Listening InSeeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it,s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a 10t.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don,t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I …uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I,m going to need $100.”“I understand, ” said his mother, “I'll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?”“Oh, yeah. Thanks,” Robert said.Robert,s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her.“Well, how much did you give the boy this time?” asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,” answered Mom.“You're outing your mind,” yelled Dad, “That’s $1,100. He,ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He's never going to learn the value of money that way.”“Don't worry, honey,” Mom said, “I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!”Uint3After thirteen years marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, claiming he is irresponsible. When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teased by other children for not dressing good clothes. Also, they had to live in a small apartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells at her, though she admits she also yell at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation rights instead of jointcustody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments.Task 2: What four-letter words? ⑦ScriptDorothy was the only child of her family, born when her parents were mid-aged. They spoiled her badly. At the age of 33 she still lived at home. Her mother and father treat her like a princess. She seemed perfectly content with that situation, so her friends were surprised when she announced she would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn ’t last long. But for the present, she and her new husband approached happy. . )As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.“How does everything go?” her mother asked.“Oh, Mom,” she began, “the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I ’d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. You ’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!” the new bride sobbed over the telephone.“But, honey,” the mother asked, “What four-letter words?”“I can,t tell you, Mom. They,re too awful! Come get me, please!”“Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used.”Still sobbing, the bride said, “Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook.”Keys: FTFFTUint4III. Listening InThe woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter's dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company,s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills . She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said herability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and teamspirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believesthat she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American appliedfor the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we ’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager's maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down 'Idon't' know', and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”For Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather thanon the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I ”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.Uint5Chris and Nora are going to a reception. Chris is eager to making new connections. As the party ends at two, he intends to have all those brochures distributed by one- thirty. But Nora disagrees, saying that those brochures will make him look like a green hand. She advises him just to hand out business card and leave his work at the door. But Chris wonders how he can get anything out of this if she can 't talk business. To this, Nora insists that he should just get a card for a card. Chris catches on quickly and knows that he can hand out business cards now and follow up on Monday. Finally, Nora suggests splitting up so that they can cover more ground. Chris feels it will be a piece of cake and promise to meet her back there at two.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptOnce there was a Scottish accountant. The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he,d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can,t pay you a hundred pounds! ” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge meto dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I,d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you,re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”For Reference3.countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4.He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundUnit 6Alan,s accountant is preparing his income tax return, so he needs to go over some of the receipts wit her. Pamela complains that the government just squanders people's hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects. But Alan does not mind paying taxes, saying it means he is earning money, which is better than living on charity. Pamela insists that if the poor would just get jobs, taxes would bee much lower. Alan disagrees, saying most people would rather work than receive charity, but sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for. But Pamela asserts that the jobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are alreadydirected to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don,t want to work, preferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerScriptIn a bar a guy told the bartender, "I’m a professional gambler; I ’ve made of lots of money from gambling.”The barte nder answered, “I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?”“Well, I only bet on sure things,” said the guy.“Like what?” asked the bartender.The bartender thought about it, “Okay,” he said.So the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it, “Ah, you screwed me, ” said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.“I’ll give you another chance. I ’ll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,” said the stranger.The bartender thought it over again and said, “Well, I can see you,re not blind. I ’ll takethat bet.”So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbles up to the bartender and said, “Bartender, I,ll give you one last chance. I,ll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.” The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now, “Okay, you’re on,” he said.The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but no a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, “Hey, pal, you owe me five hund red dollars!”The guy said, “That,s okay. I just bet the guys in the card rooml, 000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but you still laugh!”Keys: TFTFTFor Reference5.Because not a drop tomato juice fell into the whiskey bottle, and he was to win the bet of 500dollars.6.Because he just bet the guys in card rooml, 000 buck each that he could dump tomato juice allover the bartender and still make him laugh.。

Think on its various characteristics:its material,its function,its color,and so on. Don’t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself.It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So,try holding your breath for ten seconds,and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example,if youcannot remember a person’s name,you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What’s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one’s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes:1A2.C3.D4.B5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1I t slipped my mind!Amy:I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.Bill:That’s good.Now what should we do?Amy:We’ve got to plan the menu.Bill:Oh,that’s right.Do you have anything in mind?Amy:I think I’m going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party.Remember I sled the chef for the recipe?Bill:Yeah,but did you forget that Linda doesn’t eat chicken?Amy:Linda?Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite Linda!It just slipped my mind.She’ll be mad at me.Bill:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.It’s not too late yet.I’ll make a phone call.Don’t worry.Amy:Thanks!You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!Bill:Looks like you are,sweetheartNow Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA:I’m going to throw a party,and I’ve sent out the invitations to my friends and relatives.B:That’s good.But don’t forget to invite everyone you should invite.A:I think I’ve invited everyone.Do you have anybody in mind?B:Did you invite John?He’s lost his job after recent quarrel with his boss.A:Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite him!He’ll be sad,thinking we look down on him.He just slipped my mind.B:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.Don’t worry.It’s not too late.Makea phone call right away.A:Did I forget anybody else that I should incite?B:There’s yet another person you should invite—Julia.She’s just moved to the city and feels lonely.A:Oh,good heavens,I forgot all about her.She’s our new friend.You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!B:Looks like you are,buddy.You’d better start writing things down if they’re important.can’’t think of it off the top of my head.

Professor:There you go.The more you apply the ideas,the easier it gets.Besides creating pictures,there’s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association.Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax,and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel,the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student:Oh my gosh!I have to run.It’s time my English class.I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom.Many thanks,Professor.Professor:Not at all,and good luck with your memory.Ways of Improving OneOne’’sMemoryExamplesCreating images To remember the items tobuy sat the grocery storesuch as carrots,eggs,bananas,and milkImages that you may help:1.a giant carrot and abanana hanging from it2.a giant milk cartonpouring milk over thecarrot and banana3.an egg-shaped UFOflying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1.The sound of the keysmight remind you ofy\having placed then ina drawer.2.The cold touch of thekeys might remind youof them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview,the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview,creating images helps remember things.If your shopping list includes eggs,you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest.If you get interested in something,you can remember it better.B:Yeah.And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups,you can remember them better.For instance,if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy.If,however,you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln,those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt,and those after,then the task will be less difficult.A:It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly,you tend to forget it quickly.If you stuffy it slowly,you can remember it better.B:Another technique is intensive practice or repeating.As a saying goes,practice makes perfect.If you repeat something again and again,you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard.When we get tired,our learning efficiency declines.We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1:The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life,scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory,Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with,you must take special care in your daily life.Food for example,is very important.Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly.They are found in bread,cereal,vegetables and fruits.Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory,but others have doubts about this,arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work.Another essential factor is water.It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons.According to Dr.Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory;it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties.Sleep also plays a significant role.To be able to have a goof memory,we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest.While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses,and starts to revise and store the information one has ck of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one’s ability to concentrate.Also,one’ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys:1.A2.B3.D4.D5.CTask2:Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story,while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks,tea or dinner.On this particular spring night,they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening,it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there,they offered to put him up for the night.They pointed out that by staying overnight,he did not need to go to out in the bad weather.He agreed on the soundness of that idea,thanked his hosts profusely,and the matter seemed to be settled.But while they were washing the dishes after supper,the forgetful professor disappeared.No one could find him anywhere.Eventually,after40minutes,the front door bell rang.There was the professor,soaked to the skin.When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain,he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight,he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3:How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop,and the voice on the other end of the line tells you,“This is Don Smith”.About5minutes later you tell your wife that“this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning.You can’t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it.To do this,you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person.This action will remind you to store the name in your“memory bank”each time you hear someone’s name,and within a short time the“repeating”process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person,use the same procedure,and in addition,visualize something different,unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance,position,or actions that“ties in“with his or her ter,you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side.Look at it repeatedly, see the“picture”in your mind’s eye as you look at the name;or when you see he name,visualize the“picture”you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking,and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man’s mostfriend,the dolphin.The“Dolphins on Parade”exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials.The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach.Sponsors paid U.S.$750to cover the artists’fee and the cost of materials.There were more than100dolphin themes,including a beer-belly dolphin.They showed the work of local artists,as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist,Pandora.Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin,art the Dolphin Research center,in Marathon,Florida.

Harrison:No problem.We don’t have class until Wednesday.Here you go.Jenny:Thanks.I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar. Harrison:Yeah,participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class,Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop,which means students are changing from class to class.Jenny knows the professor is really good.But Harrison warns her that the professor is good,only if students are hand-workers,for he expects a lot.After class,Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head,and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.

Once the books are open or the computer is turned on,phone calls go unanswered,TV shows unwatched,snacks ignored.Study is business,and business comes before recreation.Also,good students can study anywhere and everywhere.Claudia Hill,an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day.Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term.Thenhe posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom.He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth.Eventually,he scored high on the final examination.Moreover,top students schedule their time well.Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference.Some work late at night when the house is quiet.Others awake early.Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds.All agreed,however,on the need for consistency.A student says,“Whatever I was doing,I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s,the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by“an active reader”?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes:1B2.C3.D4.A5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1Y ou ou’’re just going to have study hardNora:Only our first day back at school,and already I feel like I’ve learned a lot.

You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journalthat studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about princi pleslike ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notesright after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new materialinto what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swearthis weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principleof ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind ofwhat is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principleof ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one hasalready learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, thedoctor told them that theywere physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to theol d man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖ “Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖“Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer,learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learnto play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. Theseadded activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, youcan take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think onits various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mindwhile you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then releaseit slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you canthink about a special feature of his face and then link it withhis mane.1. What‘s seems to be an especially important way tostimulate one‘s memory?2. What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3. How can you concentrate on a pen?4. How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5. What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DIV.

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

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

Let’s T alkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:Y ou might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Y eah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A:It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Where did the professor go?toothbrush.T ask3: How to Remember NamesScriptY ou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. Y ou can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?

My topic today is ―Problems with Our Educational System‖.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don‘t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students‘ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there‘re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven‘t had the opportunities they could‘ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn‘t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can‘t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven‘t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called ―weak students‖are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they‘ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They‘re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that‘s prettykids in those classed are intelligent, but neverDebateSAMPLEA:Many ads about English classes for children say, ―Don‘t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.‖I quite agree.
