But rains of fish or frogs or other animals have been reported for centuries. On August 8, 2000 (1) a shower of dead but still fresh sprats rained down on the fishing port of Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, England, (2) after a thunderstorm. The fish shower would have been caused by a small tornado out to sea, which (3) trawls up water and any fish near the surface. When the tornado touches the land it begins to lose energy and (4) its contents are thrown to the ground.(5) In June 1997 it rained toads in the town of Villa Angel Flores in Mexico. A small tornado whirled up (6) a cluster of toads from a local body of water Saturday night and dropped them over the town. Motorists reported them dropping from the sky around 11 p.m. In March 1998, it rained frogs in Croydon, England. A woman reported the sudden appearance of hundreds of dead frogs in her and her neighbors' gardens when there was no known pond or lake (7) in the immediate vicinity.Over the years all sorts of animals and plants have showered down during thunderstorms, possibly (8) sucked up from rivers and lakes by tornadoes into thunderclouds and then dumped miles away in heavy rain. Tornadoes pick up anything they find in their path but some scientists think that many animals of the same type or size may fall during a storm because as the wind travels, (9) heavier items will fall first. Then when the smaller items drop from the tornado, things that (10) tend to weigh the same will drop together.Dozens of dead birds have occasionally been (11) seen plummeting out of the sky, sometimes partly frozen. These poor animals were probably swept up high in the powerful updrafts of a thundercloud, then frozen like hailstones before (12) gravity took over. Even stranger is a severe hailstorm in Vicksburg, USA where a gopher turtle entirely encased in ice, fell with the hail.Other objects can rain out of the sky. In July 4, 1995 people in Keokuk, Iowa found soft drink cans that a tornado had lifted from the Double Cola Bottling Plant in Moberly and dropped about 150 miles north. Perhaps most bizarre are the “rains of blood” which have been reported all over the world (13) ever since biblical times. An important clue to their cause came in July 1968 in southern England, when a shower coated everything (14) in red gritty dust. It was fine sand blown up from the Sahara and carried over a thousand miles inside (15) a massive high pressure system before falling in a rain shower. In some dry areas, “dust devils”(dust storms) are very common with d ebris falling out of the sky.Real World ListeningScriptBeing a meteorologistQ: Ilona, what made you want to become a meteorologist? When did you know?A: I knew I wanted to become a meteorologist after seeing my first tornado. I was working at a radio station one afternoon when I saw a tornado heading right for me. Luckily, the tornado missed the radio station, but seeing it up close made me want to learn more about weather.Q: What weather person influenced you most and why?A: When I was in 6th grade, one of the local weathercasters, Ward Allen, came to visit my school. I still have the signed picture he gave me! It's framed and hanging on the wall at my house.Q: What do you like best about doing the weather?A: What I like most about forecasting weather in Central Texas is that we can see so many different types of weather ... tornadoes, flooding, and even ice & snow! It keeps things very exciting in our weather office.Q: What is your favorite weather event?A: My favorite kind of weather is weather that changes all of the time! I like it to be sunny one day, cloudy the next, then hot, then cold, then rainy, then dry!Q: What do you like to do on a rainy day?A: I like to sit on the porch and just listen to the sound of the rain falling through the trees and splashing on the ground. When the weather turns stormy, it's my job to make sure everyone knows what to expect and how to stay safe.Q: What do you like to do on a sunny day?A: I enjoy being outdoors bike riding or swimming at the pool or lake.Q: Have you ever been involved in a scary weather event? What did you do?A: I will never forget the night my mom, my grandmother, and I flew back from Europe. We were on our way home to Phoenix and there was a really bad storm over the Airport. The pilot had no choice but find the safest part to fly through and land. The whole plane was rocking side to side and was completely lit up by the lightning. I was holding on to the seat so tightly. My knuckles were white!Q: It seems meteorologists dress depending on the weather. Do you wear certain colors, outfits, depending on what kind of day it is going to be?A: You bet ... the less black during the spring and summer the better. Not only is it too hot, but mosquitoes also are attracted to darker clothes.Q: Do you have any superstitious items you wear on the air?A: No, but I always do a little dance before I start. Sometimes it helps me relax if I'm nervous.Unit 13 Hold on or give upV ocabulary TaskScript and Answers1. A: My Mom just signed up my little sister for the city basketball league.

Listening Activity1) First ListeningAnswers□He was not strong enough to handle the physical play around the net.□His first games in the NBA were less than impressive because he left the floor early for foul trouble.□He would never score more than 20 points in a single game.2) Second ListeningAnswers1. Yao Ming said, “This is the most pressure I‟ve ever faced in my life, but it‟s something I have to deal with.”2. Yes, he made it.3. He scored 20 points in a game against last year‟s world champion LA Lakers, and 30 points against the Dallas Mavericks.ScriptYao Ming makes the gradeWith the first overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets selected Chinese center Yao Ming. He becomes the first-ever number one pick to come from an international basketball league.Even before he was chosen as the NBA‟s number one draft pick by the Houston Rockets, Yao Ming faced intense media pressure and many critics. Many doubted whether the Chinese superstar would be able to make it in the NBA. Some thought he was not strong enough to handle the physical play around the net. Former NBA all-star Charles Barkley said that he would kiss a TV announcer‟s behind if Yao ever scored more than 20 points in a single game.“This is the most pressure I‟ve ever faced in my life, but it‟s something I have to deal with,” said Yao.Before coming to the NBA, the 2.26 meter-tall and 134 kg center was the dominant player in the Chinese Basketball Association. As a 17-year-old rookie, he averaged 10.0 points and 8.3 rebounds during the 1997-1998 season. Yao has played against elite international talent since being named to the Chinese National Team at age 18. At the 2001 Asian Basketball Championship for men, Yao averaged 13.4 points on 724 shots with 10.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots, helping the Chinese national team win the title, and was voted to the All-star team at the 2002 World Championship.For a man his size, Yao is surprisingly agile. He is also an excellent shooter and passes well. But his first games in the NBA were less than impressive, with Yao leaving the floor early because of foul trouble.But after he scored 20 points in a game against last year‟s world champion LA Lakers, then 30 points against the Dallas Mavericks, his critics were silenced and Barkley was forced to kiss a donkey on TV. With performances like these, it seems like Yao Ming is just starting to feel comfortable in the NBA.Among the first overall selection in NBA history, Yao stands as the tallest and second-heaviest players ever. Upon entering the NBA, Yao will become the third Chinese player in NBA history, following fellow Chinese National Team members Wang Zhizhi and Mengke Bateer.Real World Listening1.

A homestay is not like staying in a hotel or hostel, where service workers are paid to be courteous and cheerful in order to make guests feel at home.

When describing their dream homestay, they talk about their homestay “mums” attending to their needs because they pay good money to be looked after. They also expect their homestay family to be pleasant and happy all the time so they need never feel unhappy and lonely.A homestay is not like staying in a hotel or hostel, where service workers are paid to be courteous and cheerful in order to make guests feel at home.

You can‟t order room service or throw wet towels and dirty clothes around. If you are a homestay student, you are expected to follow house rules, which might include taking care of your own room as well as tidying up after yourself inthe kitchen, bathroom or other rooms you might use.As a homestay guest, you need to be independent and to develop your own interests rather than depend on your hosts to keep you happy and entertained. Your hosts have their own jobs and responsibilities and you must learn to be independent. You need to develop your own friends in the college or through social clubs. Burying yourself totally in books, with no time for a social life, is emotionally and mentally unhealthy and will make you homesick as well.You can‟t always expect your homestay family to be on their best behavior all the time. Just as in your own home, there might be misunderstandings, squabbles and stress. Homestay famil ies might quarrel over money, children‟s performance, too much work time and too little family time -- things your own family probably quarrels about. Problems might arise because of you. Perhaps you are doing something that annoys the family. But bear in mind that even if you are a perfect guest, your presence as a stranger in an intimate family setting is bound to cause some tensions. If it is something you can correct, do so and apologize. Know when your homestay dad and mum want some privacy to themselves and give them the space and time.One last piece of advice: Don‟t talk negatively about your homestay family to your college mates or friends. Negative talk puts you in a negative mood and implies that you do not value people. People are never perfect and need to be respected regardless of their shortcomings.Real World Listening1.

At that time, it was believed that if a mother with the RH negative blood factor delivered a dead first baby, it was considered (2) a 100% certainty that the second baby would also die. This was the mother‟s second baby and the first one had died. Death was expected soon. This was a case where such babies (3) were set aside to die. And so had this one.The doctor had not ordered a feeding tube inserted so I asked for permission to (4) feed the baby by dropper because it was too weak to suck. He said that he didn‟t think it would be of any value, but that I could if I wanted to. I and the rest of the staff worked very hard day and night to (5) get some nourishment in the baby. The baby survived! Day after day the baby continued to survive. Then I started asking the doctor to let us transfer the baby to a larger hospital in Rockford, Illinois. That hospital had more (6) equipment and pediatricians. Finally, the doctor consented and we prepared to transfer the baby to Rockford.When a transfer was being made from our hospital to the Rockford Hospital, the patient was always (7) accompanied by a nurse. Since I was so involved with the baby, I was asked to be its nurse (8) on this transfer.This would be my first trip (9) in an ambulance. The other nurses had told me many stories about the ambulance rides. They described it as a wild, wil d ride. I was not looking forward to the trip, but since I knew the baby‟s condition well, I knew I was the best choice. So, I went. The siren (10) started wailing as soon as we left the hospital's driveway. On and on the cars in our path quickly (11) pulled over to the side. This ride was so dangerous that I started worrying about my own survival as much as the baby's. I (12) broke out in a sweat. It was only after we arrived at the Rockford Hospital that the driver discovered that he had (13) left the heat on! I could have done without that.The baby was settled in at the hospital, and each day our reports were that the baby continued to thrive.

An opportunity for individuality/ independence vanishes.2. No.3. Through the clothing he or she wears.4. Clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.5. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them.ScriptClothes make the man“Clothes make the man? runs the old proverb. If you believe that, you might feel that clothing enhances appearance, increases independence, allows for function, and provides comfort. What’s more, clothing that is neat and clean, fits well, and feels good can boost anyone’s morale.People express their personality in many ways, including through their clothing, hair style, and accessories. That’s why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personalit y, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure.Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to “make an impression” through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about cl othing can increase older people’s sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people don’t care about their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashion reflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them. Sending positive appearance messages may increase older people’s opportunities for social interaction.Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer□The outfits she should take along for her trip.1.

This is the kind of questions that plague me these days---days in which a trip to the ladies’ room has a good chance of leaving me standing before two doors, utterly baffled as to which one I’m expected to walk through.My husband, Richie and I are in the midst of a trip around the world. The journey has taken us to 14 countries thus far, and in only one did we speaker the language, that was England. We left home in December believing wholeheartedly that one of the great joys of traveling would be encountering people who speak in exotic dialects. I have to admit, however, the constant language barrier has been, at times, acutely frustrating.Trying to determine which toilet is the women’s versus the men’s in each new country has been just the tip of a much larger and more befuddling iceberg. On a typical day, I understand the people around me as much as the average mutt understands his owner. If I’m lucky, I compensate for my ignorance by smiling and wagging my tail a lat.With time, however, Richie and I have come to enjoy the ongoing challenge our lack of linguistic endowments provides. It helps that we now think of our lives as a 24-hour game of charades. In this version of the g ame, there’s only one required skill: an absolute willingness to make a complete ass of ourselves in front of total strangers.For instance, in trying to explain to a street vendor in Prague that I wanted a chicken sandwich. I was, at long last, able to achieve understanding but only I shoved my armpits, flapped my elbows wildly and declared loudly and for everyone to hear: “bawk bawk bawk!”On the downside, this method of physical communication leads to comprehension only about 50 percent of the time. In Hungary, while trying to determine if a dish was made of fish, I looked the waiter square in the eye, sucked in my checks and flapped my pursed lips at him. He stared at me then with a mix of incomprehension and search of a train station, I approached a large Czech security guard and queried, “choo-choo, choo-choo”I can’t blame him for his blank incredulity. When has a train ever made anything approaching the sound “choo-choo”?Real World Listening1. PredictAnswerNora, the interviewee, was a Jewish American.
