B: To this question, in my view, different people have different ideas.To some people, wealth is equaled with success, power, happiness, and satisfaction in life, but to others, wealth is nothing but glittering baggage.A: To the money, is money the most important thing in your life? B: There is a saying that money can make the world go around.However, I don't think money is the most important thing in my life.Though money can take us many things such as food, education, travel, luxury, there are lots of other important things that money can't give us.Like health, happiness, time, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy these things.What about you? What's your attitude about money? A: My opinion is the same with you.Furthermore, I think we don't have to become millionaires.Having enough money to maintain our life is enough.We should pursue spiritual wealth which is more precious than money.B: Yeah.第二篇:视听说展会英语对话A: How long from now Canton Fair?

Unit 1Script 1Talia: It’s all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that’s the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him.And I believe he’s innocent.[Knock on door]Talia: Look, Mom. I have to go. I’ll call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye.Nick: Hi. I came as soon as I could. What’s up?Talia: I’ve been thinking about this all day… Now tell me, again: When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?Nick: I’ve already told you. She came up to me at the juice bar. We set up a meeting.Talia: Right. At her office. Except you never went up to her office.Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch.Talia: Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recall.Nick: Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.Talia: Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.Nick: Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.Talia: OK. Can you think of anything else?Nick: Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial.Talia: A commercial? What commercial?Nick: I told you about that, didn’t I? They wanted me to be in a commercial.Script 2Talia:Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I want to hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important.Nick:OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…Jackie:So, you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll us e your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick:Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie:Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.Nick:Cool!Jackie:In fact, I’m working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you want to hear about it?Nick:Sure.Jackie:OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day.Nick:So far, so good.Jackie:OK. A young ki d comes up to you and says, ―Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?‖Nick:Uh-huh.Jackie:And you say, ―That’s me.‖ Or something like that.Nick:Right.Jackie:And then the kid says, ―Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?‖ And you say, ―Kicks. What else?‖Nick:That’s it?Jackie:That’s it.Nick:So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?Jackie:That’s all you have to do.Talia:That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape s o it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.Nick:Oh, wow!Unit 2Script 1Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.Tony: Come in. What's going on?Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say?Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited. Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this?Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.Tony: Of course! The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements. Talia: Still. I can't imagine...Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story.Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.Script 2Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you?Amy: How about a large iced tea?Patty: Coming right up.Amy: ... and a little information.Patty: What kind of information?Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop. I was told that she's a member of this club. Patty: Hmm. She used to be, but not anymore. She stopped coming here a while ago. Maybe a year ago, even. Amy: Oh. Too bad.Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university. Maybe youcould catch up with her there.Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university?Patty: Mmm-hmm.Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.Patty : Oh, likewise! Thanks!Unit 3Script 1Amy: Talia, are you almost here?Talia: I’m about ten minutes away. Can you see her?Amy: Yes. She’s si tting on a sofa. Hurry up. Classes start in about 20 minutes.Talia: Well, just go over to her and start a conversation. You’ve done your homework, haven’t you?Amy: My homework?Talia: I mean, have you found out What courses she’s taking, and everythin g?Amy: Oh, yeah. I can do a little acting myself, if that’s what you mean.Talia: So go act like a drama student, and go and talk to her. I’ll be right there.Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class. In fact, it’s tonight.Amy: Oh, great.Jackie: I’ve been taking classes here for about a year and I think he’s been my best teacher. Amy: I know what you mean. He’s very …inspiring.Jackie: Yes, absolutely. I’ve become a much better actor since I started taking his classes…Amy: Yes, I’m sure you have.Script 2Amy: Oh, I’m Amy Lee, by the way.Jackie: Hi. Jackie Bishop. Well, that’s my re al name. My stage name is Jackie Baker.Amy: So, do you have an agent?Jackie: As a matter of fact, I spoke to an agent last week. I just sent him a tape, and he thought it was incredible. Amy: I’m not surprised. You do seem… incredible.Jackie: And my brother knows this film director. He’s going to introduce me to him.Amy: Oh, that’s great! Oh, wait, is your brother that soccer player…?Jackie: Dean Bishop! That’s right! He’s my elder brother. We just adore each other! He’s a soccer star, and I’m go ing to be a movie star! Tonight he’s taking me out for a celebration.Amy: Tonight? Really? What are you celebrating?Jackie: Oh, just … this thing. Nothing really. Anyway, he’s taking me to this restaurant near here. Valentino’s. Have you ever eaten there?Amy: Um, no … I can’t aff…Jackie: I ate there once, and I saw Madonna.Amy: Wow!Jackie: Yes, can you believe it? It was so exciting!Amy: I guess you have to go to the right places.Jackie: Absolutely! I even booked the perfect table for people watching.Amy: I’m impressed. You really plan ahead. You’re amazing.Unit 4Script 1Talia: Amy! Great to see you again.Amy: You too. Uh, Jackie, this is Talia. Talia, this is Jackie.Jackie: Charmed. Charmed.Talia: Nice to meet you, too.Amy: Talia is a researcher at Newsline.Jackie: How exciting.Talia: Gee, you look so familiar.Jackie: Really? We might have seen each other around campus.Talia: I guess so. Or we may have been in a class together. I'm taking journalism classes.Jackie: No, it couldn't have been a class. I'm taking acting classes, like Amy.Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late forProfessor Roberts..Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you.Jackie: Really?Talia: Yes. The Gower Building.Script 2Talia : Don't you work for a shoe company? Kicks Shoes?Jackie : I'm sorry, but you can't be serious.Talia : Oh, I can be quite serious.Jackie : Listen. I've got to go. It must be time for my class. See you, Amy.Amy: Yes. Bye, Jackie. It was great talking to you.Talia : So what did you find out?Amy: Listen to this. Jackie and Dean are going to Valentino's after her class tonight to celebrate. She's booked a special table.Talia : This is perfect. Great work. You should be proud of yourself.Amy : Thanks, but it was nothing. Piece of cake, in fact.Talia : OK, then. You call Valentino's and make a reservation for two.Amy: Oh, wow. Are we going to Valentino's?Talia : Oops ... no. I was planning on calling Nick.Amy: I see.Talia : Thanks for being understanding.Amy : After I call Valentino's, is there anything else you want me to do?Talia : Yes. I'm going to need your help. We have a lot to do in the next two hours.Unit 5Script 1Talia: Oh, thank goodness you got my message!Nick: Yeah. What’s going on?Talia: Don’t worry. I’m not trying to get you to take me out on a date. I’m trying to help you save your career. Nick: Oh, that. Yeah, right, I almost forgot.Talia: Be serious. I care about… I care about your future.Nick: So do I!Talia: Good—you wore a tie.Nick: Yeah, your message said, wear a tie and a jacket. You look nice, by the way.Talia: Thanks. So do you.Nick: What’s that?Talia: Here. You have to put these on.Nick: I’m sorry. Did I miss something here? Is it… is it Halloween? Are you really going to make me put these on?Talia: Yes. And that’s how you’re going to hear their conversation. There’s an earphone in the wig.Nick: Whose conversation?Talia: Jackie and Dean’s. They’re having dinner here. Let’s go inside.Script 2Talia: So, as I was saying, I have a feeling Dean and Jackie are going to talk about you as soon as they get here. Nick: Really?Talia: Yup. And all we have to do is record their conversation. We just need to plant this at their table.Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?Talia: You forget—I’m a researcher… I asked the maitred’. That’s their table over there. I’ll be right back. Nick: OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while you plant the mike.Talia: Good. Just cough or something to warn me if you see them.Nick: OK. Hurry up. [Nick coughs!]Talia: Whew! That was close... Here. Look at the menu. We should order.Nick: Right, though I’m not really hungry.Talia: Neither am I.Dean: One more.Nick: Don’t look now, but here comes Jackie.Unit 6Script 1Jackie: You are not going to believe what happened.Dean: I've been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven't you called me back?Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk...Jackie: Dean, don't interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So...Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here...Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!Dean: OK. I give up. What?Jackie: So this woman Amy and I were talking when a friend of hers showed up. Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.Dean: So?Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...Dean: How does she know about...Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.Dean: Newsline ?Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you.Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea!Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!Script 2Jackie: OK. I'll calm down. But, Dean, I'm worried. I could get into real trouble.Dean: You? Why, I'm the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.Dean: Big deal.Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended!Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters?Dean: Byron Walters?Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who's going to make me a star!! Dean: Oh, him...Jackie: You said to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.Dean: Uh, I forgot to tell you. There is no Byron Walters. He quit the business.Jackie: But he was going to give me my big break, the break that's going to make me a star.Dean: Sorry, Jackie.Jackie: No, you're not. I don't think you're sorry at all now. But you will be! You tricked me, just like you tricked Nick Crawford. I don't have to stand for this.Unit 7Script 1Nick: I can’t believe it! They admitted everything.Talia: And we got it all on tape.Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me?Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I mentioned Kicks shoes. I knew she would tell Dean about it as soon as she could. Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me.Talia: Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.Nick: Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…Talia: I guess you’re right.Nick: Why don’t you finish dinner?Talia; … But if we leave now, Tony will still be in the office.Nick: Look, Talia. This whole thing is about to be clear up. Why don’t we just take a little time now to enjoy ourselves?Talia: Of course. You’re right. Sorry, Nick. And besides, this is Valentino’s. And I am with a star!Script 2Nick: I have a confession to make.Talia: What? You have a confession to make? I thought this whole thing was over.Nick: No, no. It’s not about that. It’s about… .Talia: Us? Us, as in you and me.Nick: Yes. Do you remember that class we took together in college?Talia: Of course, I remember it. I remember it well.Nick: And do you remember when we were studying together in the library…Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer. In fact, we had split up by mid-semester.Nick: You are kidding. I didn’t know. Well, I guess I should’ve…Talia: I’m not seeing anyone now, though, you know.Nick: Well, then…Waiter: Tutto bene? Is everything all right? May I get you uh, un café? Te? Cappuccino?Talia: I’ll have a cappuccino.Nick: Two.Unit 8Script 1Talia: I’m too late, right? You already aired the story about Nick on the evening news?Tony: No, I decided not to. When I hadn’t heard from you, I deci ded to wait.Talia: Oh, gosh, what a relief.

I was just about to try that.Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on.Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving.Tony: You probably just pressed "play".Talia: This is a disaster.Tony: Sorry, Talia.

Orin this case, what’s not done is done.Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.Talia: How can you stay so positive?Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10Script 1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach?

I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enoughTalia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy.

She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement Talia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him tolunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.Unit 11Script 1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know w hat they say, ―Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.‖Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I d on’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this.Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: /Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to.Script 2Amy: You must be very happy.Nick: I really am. My name has been cleared. I’m really relieved. This has been a nightmare!Tony: Now that the truth has come out, how about giving Newsline an exclusive interview?Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview.Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead.

Topic1: your last vacationA: Hee-haw is it going?B: Pretty good. How are you?A: Oh, I am ok. I called cause I want to tell you about my last trip----I just got back from vacation. B: Wow, where was your vacation? Did you have a good time?A: Yep, it was fabulous. I went to Beijing, my favorite city in the world, with my family. We did a bunch of tourist stuff---sightseeing, shopping and food. Um, we went to see the Forbidden City that is the palace museum. It is really splendid. It was the grand and deluxe halls that caught our eyes. And, I also enjoyed the beauty of the Great Wall. It seems more impressive than pictures in magazines and brochures. Then, we went over to the Hutongs and the courtyards. I supposed a peaceful and blissful life if I lived in the courtyards.B: What about restaurants and shops?A: Well, we went to Wangfujing Dajie, the most well-known modern commercial street. I absolutely enjoyed relaxing walk there. There were so many fresh things to explore. Clothes,shoes, hats……, you know. And, I had all sorts of unique food. roast duck, Beijing snacks, hot pot fashionable vegetarian dishes and, and……B: So you did have fun.A: Yeah. By the way, what did you do on your vacation?B: I didn’t do somewhere else. I stayed at home. (A: oh, come on!)But I was fine. I cleaned the house, did the laundry, listening to light music. and, I hung out in rooms and spaces I didn’t normally use. Also, I got through that giant pile of magazines and watched some interesting movies.A: Well, sounds great.Topic2: keep fitA: Hi, doctor. I am kind of not myself these days. How do I do?B: Well, take it easy. Let me see. What are your problems this time?A: Um, I have a headache first. I’ve been having it for a week or so.B: A headache, yeah?A: Right. And I had a little bit of sore throat. A little upset stomach, too. Actually, I feel tired easily these days and sometimes it hard to concentrate.B: How many hours do you sleep every?A: Well, it’s hard to say. Maybe five hours or fewer. I’m quite busy, you know, so it is luxury for me to have enough sleep.B: Apparently, you really, really need a good break. Just now you said you can’t concentrate well, right? That is the typical symptom of your poor health condition.A: But, but……B: Do you really want to be energetic and achieve success in your career? (A: yeah, doctor.) Just take my advice, ok? There are several ways to keep health. First, you should keep a balanced diet. That is to say, you should cut down on red meet, but eat more vegetables and fruits. Second, you must give up unhealthy habits. You should sleep earlier to give your body a good rest. And never skip breakfast no matter how busy you are. Finally, regular physical exercise is essential for a healthy mind and body. Ball games, running, and swimming and at the least, just take a walk. Remember don’t let your health take revenge on your work.A: All right, I’ll try. It sounds quite reasonable. Thank you.B: You’re welcome. If you have any problem, you shall come to see me.A: I’ll. Bye, doctor.B: Bye.Topic3 what’s importantA: Well, I’m kind of eager to settle down in a big city, find a well-paid job and start a new life. But I’m not sure about that. So I was wondering what place you will choose to live in, after your graduation.B: Ok, this is a big decision to pick a place to live in and a wrong decision may make you frustrated. We all know what areas seem like the most glamorous to live, but you really need to think deeply about where suits you best.A: Considering it’s hard to find a job right now, would it be better to choose a big city?B: Yeah, some cities have tons of jobs and plenty of activities, but you can’t afford. Besides, there are some nice country areas that are fairly affordable.A: Well, I will definitely give this some consideration. By the way, what do you think are the most important factors when you choose a place?B: Um, I’ll give more importance to some features like location and safety. In my choice location for living should be in a clean, calm neighborhood, with easy access to shopping center, medical center, schools and libraries.A: I totally agree with you. It is really inconvenient when I need to go miles to visit a doctor or to get my grocery.B: Exactly. And, you need to be checking into the crime rate of that area. Just because even if you live in nice suburban, it doesn’t mean you’re in a safe place.A: That’s the case.Topic4 escape lonelinessA: I’m a little embarrassed. Um, I just moved to a new town, you know. And I noticed how quiet and anti-social I am. It is for the first time that I’m alone and feel out of place. Could you give some advice to make me feel more comfortable?B: Well, take it easy. Many people maybe feel isolated and disconnected too, in that situation. Just like you. I can give you some pointers I think. Above all, you need to be active. If you just sit back and wait for others to do it for you---it won’t happen.A: I’ll try. What else?B: You should practice your kindness. To take up voluntary work will be helpful. Also, you can join a club. If so, you may get new hobbies or find people interested in the same thing.A: Does that mean I can feel ease if I go to parties, groups or something?B: Not really. In fact, it’s common that one is surrounded by people, but still feels lonely. Remember this, there may be fast-food, but there are no fast friendships! Just try to talk to people. A: I got. Thank you.B: good luck.Topic5 a terrible tripA: So how was your trip?B: It was really, really bad.A: It was bad? But I thought you went to Beijing.B: We did, and I thought it was going to be so much fun. But it just turned out terrible! I think it maybe the worst travel experience I ever had.A: What happened?B: Well, at the beginning, the flight delayed, so we had to wait and wait, for almost 2 hours. We got no seats cause the airport was so crowed.A: What bad luck!B: Yeah. We went with a group, you know. They were so rude----they spit, threw litter around and drew on the wall.A: That’s extremely rude.B: But that was not the worst. Actually, the tour guide resigned to us was irresponsible. He just gave us a simple and incomplete introduction to the attractions. And he didn’t seem sympathetic to our need for bathroom breaks. Worse still, the hotel service was poor. We wanted noting more than a hot shower after a whole day’s walk, but we had no hot water. So we had to shower in frigid cold water for 3 days!A: Sounds terrible. But the signs in the lobby of a hotel with five stars did not mean its international rating.B: Oh, I know. And the food was all sort of mixed together. I thought we would go to some famous restaurants, but we didn’t. We even didn’t have free time. No shopping!A: I’m sorry. I hate when you don’t have some freedom on a trip.B: It cost so much money, too. In a word, it was terrible.A: Bummer.B: Yep.Topic6 looking for an apartmentA: I’ve been looking for an apartment.B: Welcome to rent master.

This is a great location, and there is a bus station nearby.A: That’s convenient.B: The apartment is on the fourth floor of a walk-up. No elevator.A: Sure, no problem.B: Look!

Unit 1 W ork to live VS. Live to work?A: Recently,there is a heated debate on “live to work or work to live ?”,what do you think about this topic?B:As far as i’m concerned,i’ll choose work to live.living in a highly competitive society,it’s very hard to have a stable and perfect career for ordinary people.,so only by devoting all your time and efforts to work hard can you get a visible promotion as well as a long term professional career.C:well,that’s true in a sense .but i am in favor of living to work .W ith the pace of life gradually accelerated,more and more people are focused on money or reputation without caring about the beauty of the life,thus making the society becoming distrustful and indifference.in a conclusion ,we need to fin ways to enjoy life ,then we can more effectively and happily.A:yeah ,i totally agree with you in this point.B:that may be right ,but for most people ,they have to earn large amounts of money to support their family and lay a good foundation for their future development. Though hard working ,they are able to reach a better life standards,for example ,house,car,luxury furniture and so on .A:i think so ,without hard working ,all these basical life conditions cannot be available for the majority people .C:but in my view,live to work is more worthful ,people can find their value in work .sometimes ,ordinary people are just like a machine of making money , they have no motivation to work ,let alone promote the production .if we regurd work as a useful way to prove our value ,we;ll find life is more meaningful and interesting .A:well,after listening your opinions ,i’d rather choose work to live before middle age ,and after middle age ,i’ll try my best to live to work .for at the beginning ,we have to work harder to make a good preparation for my material life as well as career development.and when it comes to middle age ,ii’e time for us to spend more time with our family ,and enjoy the beautiful life .for example,i can set aside some time to travel around the world ,try my best to help those whose life is tough and hard ,so on...B:wow ,that sounds really attractive.C;yeah,that may be the true lifestyle !Unit 2 Deal with gossip and rumors?A:Nowadays ,with the rapid development of modern technology ,the information tools ,such as cellphones,e-mail and so on ,which provides a popular way for the public to spread gossip or scandals.B:That’s right.what’s more, the competition in life or work are becoming more and more fierce ,sometimes people are too jealous or they want more attentions., so they make false gossips to make their victims fall down .C: Exactly, and people who spread the gossips usually don’t know the bad effects it bring,they may just talk about the gossip for fun .B:as for me ,i’ve never got involved in such mea ningless gossip,i think it wastes time and energy,besides ,the target may feel very embassment and disappointed when they know it.A:well,i totally agree with you .T ake me for example ,i did participate in gossip,i still remembered that we talk about a joke that one classmate are in love with a beautiful in our class, i think it’s a kind laugh story. However ,when that classmate heard the gossip about him ,he felt very angry and argued with us .after that ,i’ve never join in the similar gossip .C:wow ,for me ,whenever i heard the gossip about others ,i just ignored it ,it’s very rude to spread such scandal to others .as far as i can see ,it depends on the people to keep the gossip from spreading .if you are wise enough ,you won’t join in and spread it.A:the spreading of gossip have bad effects on both spreaders as well as the targets.for one thing ,it may damage the reputation of the person being talked about,and people will judge them with unfair thoughts .for another ,the spreaders may lost trusty among others,people may be afraid to talk some private topics about themselves and get away from them,which is so disappointing.B:that’s true.so you must be very careful and avoid not to be involved.C:when it comes to the effective ways to deal with gossip and rumors,in my opinion ,first,everyone should behave properly in public place in case that others will talk the bad manners of you .second ,we’d better develop the viewthat it’s unpolite and meaningless to spread gossip,and it has great influence among people’s daily life.B:what’s more ,there must be some rules to regulate this phenomenon ,for example ,the company should issue this regulations to forbid their workers not to spread the gossips during working time .Unit 4 Sports and HealthA:since the pressure of life and work are becoming more and more serious in the modern society ,the health problem remain the heated topic among people .And one of the biggest reason is a lack of exercise,especially in sports .so why don’t we talk about the favourite sports of you ?B:that’ right .well,as for me ,i like basketball best frankly,i like to watch the NBA competing for basketball on tv ,which is very exciting and motivating.as the sports itself, i think it’s a fast ,pace ,team sport, that has a potential for crazy, athletic and exciting things to happen.C:wow,it’s not so common to see girls being fancy for basketball,have you ever played it for fun ?B:of course ,I've been playing it since 3rd grade and I am good at it. I think the real fun is knowing the strategy and how to win. How about you ?A:well,i like ping-pang most ,for it can be played everywhere and anytime ,you just prepare a table and find a good partner . So do you guys exercise regularly?c: T o tell you the truth ,i seldom exercise ,because sometimes i feel very tired after a whole day class with the full courses. Besides,with so many homework to do every week,i can’t find time to do my favourite sports .B:i agree,nowadays ,students are always too busy with their lessons to exercise regularly.for me ,i can only on Friday afternoon to play basketball. A: that’s really a problem .well ,have you heard that one college student died suddenly when he was competing for the 1500 meters running ?C:no .i haven’t ! but this s incredible ! What a weaken body ...A:this case also reminds us that it’s necessary for the PE teacher to teach physical knowledge of the sports,then students may learn something and be careful when they exercise.B:i’m in favor of you .many PE teachers only focus on the grades without concerning about the skills and self-rescuing methods,thus leading studentsto believe that the physical knowledge is meaningless .C;T aking the slender body of college students into consideration,Which type of sports or exercise do you think suits college students most?A: well, i think Aerobic exercise ,such as yoga ,sports dance,these exercises are really do good to students ,especially for girls . Because it’ s not the intense exercise and you can do it in your house without going out .B:yeah ,i think so .these exercise not only can lose fat ,but also can make you feel more quiet when you have a bad mood .C:what you said is reasonable,but i do think we’d better go out more often ,just think about it ,you stay in the room all day,it’s good for you to breath the fresh air .what’s more ,you go jogging with your friends ,which also can enhance your body and without big dangerous.A,B:well ,that;s a good idea.。

Talia: Tha’s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer’s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don’t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn’t we?Talia: Yes, tha t’s right. As I recall, you did really well on it.Nick: That’s right! But only because I speak Shakespeare so fluently.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: 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?Talia: That’s why I’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I’d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don’t trust me, do you? Nick: Nope. You’re in the news business. You’re all alike.Talia: Hey, don’t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn’t I? Really.You 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.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That’s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That’s impossible.Talia: 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.Talia: 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 Listening 1Talia: OK, let’s get this straight. You’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.Talia: 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.Talia: But your coach can’t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can’t see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia: You can’t?Nick: No.Talia:I see…Nick:You don’t have to believe me, but it’s the truth. I sat out the first roundqualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia:And not because you took a bribe.Nick: A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia:Then can you explain the tape?Nick:What tape?Talia: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. You’ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video Listening 2Nick:It sure sounds like my voice, but I don’t know why. Why would I do something so stupid? Talia: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, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean:Hey.Coach:Hi.Talia:Nice to meet you both.Coach:Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia:Sure.Coach:Look. I don’t think it’s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, 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:Yes, 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 1Talia: I don’t think he did it.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia: Well, for one thing, he told me he’s innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia: 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.Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.Tony: 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. Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick’s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There mightVideo 2Tony: You 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: You’ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn’t look good.Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren’t always as they seem. Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia: I just don’t think that’s true in this case.Tony: You 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 JohnDonnelly.Talia: 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.Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I’m giving the story to John.Talia: Thanks, Tony. I’ll be fine. You won’t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement DealVideo 1 TranscriptTalia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia:No. Actually I prefer1 to stand.Nick:OK, whatever2. So now what’s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before the qualifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick:So?Talia:So?

They’re coming out6 next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7 than your old shoes.More comfortable, too.And they’re less expensive than they look.Come and get your Kicks8!”Talia: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.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!12Video 2 transcriptNick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia:Ooh, here comes another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning.

Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s it?Nick:Basically17.Talia:Hmm.Nick:W ell, that’s what happened. I’ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes. OK, I’ll call her. You know, on second thought18, I’d rather pay her a visit19.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1 Transcript (1’41’’)Talia: Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:Hmmm.

One of those messages like, “The person you are calling is not available”. I thought it was odd11.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.12Talia:Well, someone is lying. And if you think you’re gonna see a good story on Newsline, you’re wrong!

No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her.

She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever acted in anything.Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She' s a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance.Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing isclear...Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house.

The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.Unit 11 The Truth Revealed Video 1 ScriptTalia:I’m so glad I went to that class last night. It was really interesting.Amy:Well, Talia, you do look a little better today.Talia:Well, I don’t feel much better.Amy:You know what? You missed a great party the other night①. Josh’s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He’s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive②. So convincing③. I’m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself④.Talia:But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you’d break this big story⑤and become the top⑥reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise⑦.Talia:I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed⑧.Amy:Don’t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford? I’m Amy Lee.Nick:And I’m here to talk to Talia.Amy:Uh, I don’t think you can speak to her now.Nick:But I’ve got to talk to her. I know who’s responsible for this mess.Talia:I’ve heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don’t have to speak to you. I’ll give my story to that other reporter, what’s-his-name? John Donnelly.Video 2 ScriptTalia: I’ll give you two minutes.Nick: You won’t be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That’s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn’t lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We’ve got reservations for lunch.Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It’s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there.Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It’s so much more pleasant to talk over a good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we’II pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked⑨me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way⑩. Dean is the next in line⑾to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I’m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I’ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo 1 ScriptNick: Oh, good, you’re here. Coach, I‘ve been trying to speak to you since last night.

Me, too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down②.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up③for me, then?Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved④, too. They somehow⑤made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you’re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game? Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you? Nick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he’s always in my shadow⑥. He wants you to kick me off the team⑦so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I‘ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two.I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days.They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy⑧. Tough rap⑨you’re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened. Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up⑩that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed⑾. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You'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. You've, uh, you've made up⑿quite 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 off⒀. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: Yeah? 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, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。

Unit 1 Another Busy DayTapescript of Video 1Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, you're working too hard.Talia: I know. I always work this hard. Maybe you could mention that to Tony? I don't think he knows it.Amy : Is that a new hairstyle? It's very ... unique.Talia : Very funny. I had to work late last night. 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 reporteryet.Talia : You think so?Amy: No, I'm just kidding...Talia : You may be right.Amy : Maybe Tony will take you more seriously after you finish the journalism class.Talia : Oh, no! Our journalism class! I forgot. It's tomorrow. What's the homework?Amy : Compare two news stories on the same topic.Talia : That's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I'll do it after work.Amy : You work too hard.Video 2Amy : Why don't you take a break tonight? Yeah, why not come with me to a party? Talia : No thanks. Maybe some other time.Amy : Come on! Josh Taylor is having a party. A lot of available guys will be there... You might meet someone.Talia : No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me...Tony : Good, you're here. 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.Talia : Really? That's great!Tony : Come to my office in about 10 minutes. By the way, you look different. Have you done something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsTapescript of Video 1Tony : Someone sent us this tape. This is incredible. What a shame.Talia : 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.Tony : 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've heard all sorts of gossip about that.Tony: Yes, but, it gets even more interesting. Also on the tape, a woman offers him $50,000. Talia : What for?Tony: To sit out the first round qualifying match. Remember? Nick Crawford had an injury and couldn't play in that game?Talia : 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 : You mean, he won't get to play in the next match?Tony: Exactly. And without 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.Tapescript of Video 2Talia : 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 with care.Amy: Absolutely!Talia : See you later. I'm going to call the audio department. They can give me the name of an expert.Tony: Tell them we need someone fast.Talia : OK. I'm on it.Tony : Is there a problem?Talia : Not exactly. I'll do it. It's just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony: You do?Talia: Yes. We went to college together. It's hard to believe he would do something like this.Tony: 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, Talia. You're smart. You'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 TaliaVideo Listening 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 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. You‟ve got yourself a deal.Woman‟s voice on tape: Great. It‟s a pleasure doing business with you.Ton y: How‟s it going?Talia: I can‟t tell. I hope our expert will be able to figure it out.Tony: Me, too, when will we have the results?Talia: He‟s going to call me back this afternoon.Tony: Good.Talia: You know, I‟ve been a researcher here for three years. I‟ve investigated other scandals. But something here doesn‟t seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn‟t make sense. Nick Crawford loves soccer. Why would he do something to hurt his career?Tony: That‟s a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Is he a friend of yours?Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English together for two semesters.Tony: Oh, that‟s it?Talia: 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. And I know that he‟s always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Video Listening 2Talia: Bad news. The audio expert needs another day to check the tape.Tony: Did you tell him it was urgent? Find someone else.Talia: Of course I told him. But I also told him we need to be sure, absolutely sure.Tony: That‟s true.Talia: Tony, listen. I have an idea. Let me go and talk to Nick.Tony: I don‟t know…Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, you‟re not a reporter yet, you …re still a researcher. Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance. What do you have to lose?Tony: All right, I‟ll give you one more day. But only one more day.Talia: You won‟t be sorry. Just one more thing: if I find something big, the story is mine, right?Tony: What do you mean?Talia: I mean, you‟ll let me report it, won‟t you? If I can get Nick to tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a break. I know t hat. I‟ll tell you what: come up with something big and the story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy… I hear he can be very charming. Don‟t let him charm you out ofa story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo Listening 1Talia: Nick?Nick: I know you, don‟t I?Talia: Yes. I‟m Talia, Talia Santos.Nick: Yeah, Talia! Of course!Talia: After all these years, I‟m surprised you remember me.Nick: How could I forget you?? We were in an English literature class t ogether, weren‟t we? Talia: Tha‟s right, the Shakespeare class.Nick: Right, Dr. Custer‟s class. She was a tough teacher. She really made us work hard.Talia: Oh, gosh, don‟t remind me.Nick: We studied together for the final, didn‟t we?Talia: 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.Talia: Very cute.Nick: So, what are you doing here? Are you a big soccer fan now?Talia: 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?Talia: That‟s why I‟m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under different circumstances.Video Listening 2Talia: No listen. I‟d like to … I want to hear your side of the story. You don‟t trust me, do you? Nick: Nope. You‟re in the news business. You‟re all alike.Talia: Hey, don‟t judge me so quickly. I told you the truth about why I was here, didn‟t I? Really.You 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.Talia: Wait, Nick. The charges are serious. People say you threw a game. They think you have gambling debts.Nick: Yes. That‟s why I gave the Soccer Federation access to my bank accounts.Talia: They could stop you from playing. Forever.Nick: That‟s impossible.Talia: 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.Talia: 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 Listening 1Talia: OK, let‟s get this straight. You‟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.Talia: 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.Talia: But your coach can‟t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can‟t see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia: You can‟t?Nick: No.Talia:I see…Nick:You don‟t have to believe me, but it‟s the truth. I sat out the first roundqualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia:And not because you took a bribe.Nick: A bride? How can anybody believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia:Then can you explain the tape?Nick:What tape?Talia: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. You‟ve got yourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It‟s a pleasure doing business with you.Video Listening 2Nick:It sure sounds like my voice, but I don‟t know why. Why would I do something so stupid? Talia: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, Talia Santos. She works for Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize my teammate, Dean Bishop.Dean:Hey.Coach:Hi.Talia:Nice to meet you both.Coach:Would you excuse us for a moment, please?Talia:Sure.Coach:Look. I don‟t think it‟s such a good idea to talk to the media right now.Dean:Yeah, 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:Yes, 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 1Talia: I don‟t think he did it.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: Nick. I don‟t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia: Well, for one thing, he told me he‟s innocent.Tony: And you believe it.Talia: 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.Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that?Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.Tony: 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. Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof.Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her.Amy: Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick‟s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I‟m not going to stop investigating. There mightVideo 2Tony: You 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: You‟ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn‟t look good.Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren‟t always as they seem. Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem.Talia: I just don‟t think that‟s true in this case.Tony: You 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 JohnDonnelly.Talia: 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.Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I‟m giving the story to John.Talia: Thanks, Tony. I‟ll be fine. You won‟t be sorry.Unit 7 An Endorsement DealVideo 1 TranscriptTalia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia:No. Actually I prefer1 to stand.Nick:OK, whatever2. So now what‟s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before the qualifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick:So?Talia: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.

They‟re coming out6 next year.“Kicks:They’re cooler7 than your old shoes.More comfortable, too.And they’re less expensive than they look.Come and get your Kicks8!”Talia: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.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!12Video 2 transcriptNick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia:Ooh, here comes another story.Nick:It was about 10 o‟clock one morning.

I‟ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you like.Talia:Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes. OK, I‟ll call her. You know, on second thought18, I‟d rather pay her a visit19.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1 Transcript (1’41’’)Talia: Hello. I‟m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:Hmmm.

No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her.

She should get an Oscar for her performance.Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing isclear...Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.Unit 11 The Truth Revealed Video 1 ScriptTalia:I‟m so glad I went to that class last night. It was really interesting.Amy:Well, Talia, you do look a little better today.Talia:Well, I don‟t feel much better.Amy:You know what? You missed a great party the other night①. Josh‟s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce you to him. He‟s ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive②. So convincing③. I‟m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you‟re no fool. Don‟t be so hard on yourself④.Talia:But I was convinced that Nick was being honest.Amy: It really is a shame, though. I was hoping you‟d break this big story⑤and become the top⑥reporter at the station. Then I‟d be your assistant, and you‟d give me a raise⑦.Talia:I‟m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I‟m so depressed⑧.Amy:Don‟t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford? I‟m Amy Lee.Nick:And I‟m here to talk to Talia.Amy:Uh, I don‟t think you can speak to her now.Nick:But I‟ve got to talk to her. I know who‟s responsible for this mess.Talia:I‟ve heard that before.Nick: OK, forget it. I don‟t have to speak to you. I‟ll give my story to that other reporter, what‟s-his-name? John Donnelly.Video 2 ScriptTalia: I‟ll give you two minutes.Nick: You won‟t be sorry. OK, I went to see her. I went to see Jackie Baker.Talia: There is no Jackie Baker.Nick: That‟s right.Talia: So you admit that you lied?Nick: No, I didn‟t lie. No, listen, this is what happened.Jackie: There you are. Right on time. We‟ve got reservations for lunch.Nick: Great. Where are we going?Jackie: It‟s a little place just around the corner. We can walk there.Nick: Sounds good.Jackie: Yes. I hate doing business in my office. It‟s so much more pleasant to talk over a good meal.Nick: Then, over lunch, we talked about the deal.Jackie: So, just sign here. It basically says we‟II pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked⑨me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way⑩. Dean is the next in line⑾to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I‟m going to the team office to talk to the coach. I‟ve got to make sure he believes me.Unit 12 Dean’s ChallengeVideo 1 ScriptNick: Oh, good, you‟re here. Coach, I…ve been trying to speak to you since last night. This whole scandal is because ...Coach: Nick, Nick, we‟ve been working together for four years now. You‟re my best player, and frankly, Nick, I feel like we're family①.Nick: Thanks, Coach. Me, too.Coach: I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been having money problems.Nick: No, I haven't! I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down②.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up③for me, then?Nick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean? Who are you talking about? Dean Bishop?Nick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved④, too. They somehow⑤made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fake endorsement.Coach: And you‟re saying they made it look like a bribe for sitting out the qualifying game? Nick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean? And his sister? This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to you? Nick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he‟s always in my shadow⑥. He wants you to kick me off the team⑦so that he can be the star.Coach: Wow! I don't know what to say. This is incredible. I hate to have to ask, but ... do you have proof?Nick: Not yet. But I…ve been working with Talia Santos at Newsline for the past day or two.I'm hoping she can help.Coach: It may be too late. The Soccer Federation has been calling me for the past two days.They want to suspend you.Nick: But what about Dean Bishop?Coach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy⑧. Tough rap⑨you‟re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened. Dean: Excuse me?Nick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking about?Nick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long now?Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up⑩that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed⑾. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: You'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. You've, uh, you've made up⑿quite 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 off⒀. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: Yeah? 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, Nicky boy.Nick: I know what you did.Dean: You think you know. But let's see you prove it.。
