When you get to the part where I‟m expected to promise to …love, respect and obey her,‟…giving up all others,‟ and …be true to her forever,‟ I‟d be happy if you‟d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom‟s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FTask 3: Long Distance FriendshipsAmerican weddings are not always the same. I‟d like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.1. A2.B3.C4.D1-3-7-5-4-2-6IV.

For me, love is the most important V. Let‟s TalkDatingBefore marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.”They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other‟s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.Dating DescriptionCausal dating Early teensSteady dating Late teensMany partners e.g. a dance, a game, a picnicDouble dating Two couplesGroup dating Large groupsGo out for a long period Intention to marryAdult dating Men and women.e.g.ski, work, dine together Casual dating system Those who hardly know each otherBlind dating Those who have never met beforeVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Finding the Right Type of GirlKeith: Hey, Peter! You‟ve been in the room all night. Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.Peter: No way, Keith! She‟s the intellectual type. My pickup line just won‟t work with her. Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.Keith: Times are changing, and you‟ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids. Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can‟t believe my ears. You‟ll never find a wife.1.B2.D3.C4.ATask 2: He thinks I‟m God.A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man‟s plans. The father invites the fiancéto his study for a drink.“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.“I am a Bible student,” he replies.“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she‟s accustomed to?”“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father. “I will concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”“Don‟t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, honey?”The father answers, “He had no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I‟m God.”1.F2.T3.F4.T5.TTask 3: LadyLady, I‟m your knight in shining armor and I love you.You have made me what I am and I am yours.My love, there‟s so many ways I want to say I love you.Let me hold you in my arms forever more.You have gone and made me such a fool;I‟m so lost in your love.And on, we belong together.Won‟t you believe in my song?Lady, for so many years I thought I‟d never find you.You have some into my life and made me whole.Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning.Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.In my eyes I see no one else but you.There‟s no other love like our love.And yes, oh yes, I‟ll always want you near me.I‟ve wanted for you so long.Lady, your love‟s the only love I needAnd beside me is where I want you to be.…Cause, my love, there‟s something I want you to know,You‟re the love of my life, you‟re my lady.SpeakingMutual LoveJill: You know, Robert, we‟ve been dating a long time now.Robert: Yeah.

Theirpurpose is to explore a particular field or organization and learn the “ins and outs" of that field from a practitioner. Rather than being asked questions, you are the questioner, gathering information that will help you evaluate your interest in and suitability for a particular opport unity.An informational interview is a fine place to raise doubts you might have, explore the compatibility of your work values with those expressed in the field and ask for advice. An individual whom you interview for information can also critique your resume.Although you may not specifically find out about a job opening, informational interviewing will often provide leads as to where to begin a successful job search and will help you choose between fields you are considering. If you are unable to find your former students or parents to orga ni zati ons found in one of the closed stack directories in the CRC library.Part 3 NewsNews item 1This presidential election is creating unusual interest and excitement across America, especially with young people and Democrats.The Democrats hope to reclaim the White House after eight years of Republica meet for an in formatio nal in terview, try con tact ing employers orn preside ncy.

The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementaryschools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832・ The purpose of the schoolwas to prepare students for college .Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about45 million students in the nation's elementary schools and high schools.Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job-training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart I Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 British postmen and milkmenBritish postmen and milkmen have a reputation for being cheerful. As they both arrive very early in the morning, when you are perhaps not feeling very good- tempered, their brisk* knoeking and bright whistling may get on your nerves. Of course, there are some gloomy postmen, who make you think that every letter con tains tragic news, but the majority are jolly and good-humoured. This is quite surprising, because delivering the mail each morning is a job which is not very well paid and there are a great many problems.The city postman has to go on foot, not only along streets but also up and dow n stairs, as many blocks of flats still have no lifts and no dow nstairs letterbox .If he has a registered letter to deliver, he has to wait for someone to come to the door to sign for it. That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the country, a postman may have a bicycle or a small van, so he does not have to walk so far, but nevertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, when this makes the journey half an hour longer. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the postman must carry on in the rain or the snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he hasto do his round*on foot, like his city colleague.Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG,” this is of little help to the postman- He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dangerous or not. So every day the country postman knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.

She was afraid her husba nd mightaccuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend £ 20 as her husband. Sometimes bothhusband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.Do you agree with the speaker that the woman's attitude is wrong?职业访谈与工作面试是一回事吗说起职业访谈(Informational Interview ),很多人都不清楚是什么意思。

Book 2 Unit 3Warming upHello, and welcome! Thank you for listening to this report, entitled "Pros and Cons of Mixed Marriages". Mixed marriages are becoming more common and many people have strong opinions about them. In this program, you'll listen to opinions on both sides of the issue. Overall, people seem to be in favor. One woman will tell you how happy she is to have married a foreigner. Some will say it is OK for others but it's not for them. However, nearly one third of the people you are going to hear on this program will say people from different cultures shouldn't get married, claiming that these individuals cannot be compatible.(Words: 109)3-2-1Short conversations1. M: Could you tell me about the pros and cons of mixed marriages?W: I can tell you the pros, for sure. After being married to a foreigner for 20 years, I've yet to discover any cons.Q: What can't the woman tell the man?2 W: The wedding is next week, but I still don't know if marrying a person of a different race is right.M: There are a lot of pros and cons of mixed marriages, but overall they're good.Q: How does the man feel about mixed marriages?3) M: The French have a lot of charm. I think you'll enjoy being married to one.W: Not everything about them is charmmg. And I'm going to have some trouble dealing with his culture.Q: What concern does the woman have about marrying a Frenchman?4. W: Has anyone criticized you for marrying someone of a different race?M: I expected people to. But they haven't so far. Besides, I don't care what people think. My wife and I hit it off A-OK.Q: What did the man expect?5) W: That's great you're getting married, but do you have a clue about your new wife's culture? M: Sure.

We talk every day. He's helped me a lot.Q: What does the woman's husband help her with?8. W: I have a question for you. Would you ever marry a person from another culture?M: That's a tough one! If l do, it'll probably be to someone from a culture similar to mine.Q: What kind of woman would the man marry?9. W: Our marriage is falling apart.

You see, I met her while I was in Germany during the war. We knew we loved each other from the moment we met, so we got married right away. But we weren't ready for the resistance we received from her family. Her mother insisted that Americans and Germans weren't compatible. So she divorced me.W: Too bad. What happened then?M: Three years later, we met again in New York, quite by accident. I was working at the port and she was on a boat coming to the U.S. When we saw each other again after all that time, we decided to overlook her parents' advice.

APassageMarriage can change people a great deal, and marriage to a person of a different culture can change a person even more. As someone who has married a foreigner, I know. I'm a Canadian who married a Chinese man. At first, I harbored some reservations. I wasn't sure how compatible we'd be. Somehow, however, w~ made it work. And I found myself 11 growing to become more like him. I started picking up Chinese characteristics and began speaking English with a Chinese accent! My brother joked, saying I was even beginning to look Chinese! My husband has changed a lot too, becoming more like Canadians in attitude.I suppose this is something of a compromise wherein we met each other in the middle. I suspect that we will continue to grow more alike as time goes by; that is exciting to me. A person, after all, should change during his or her life time.(Words: 152)1.

His wife asks, "Where are you going?" "To the kitchen," he replies.She asks, "Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?" The husband says, "Sure." She gently reminds him, "Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?"He replies, "No, I can remember that." She then says, "Well, I'd like some strawberries on top."3) "You'd better write it down 'cause I know you'll forget it,”He says, "I can remember that---you want a howl of ice cream with strawberries"She adds, "I'd also like whipped cream. Now I'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down.”4) Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down! I can remember that! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream!"Grumbling, he goes into the kitchen.5) After about 20 minutes the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife .a .plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment and says, "Where's my toast?"(Words: 224)HomeworkTask 1M: Laura, I've thought long and hard and my mind is made up.

In the past, when two people married each other, they intended to stay together for life. Today, many people marry believing that they can always get a divorce if the marriage doesn't work out. In the past, a majority of Americans frowned on the idea of divorce. Furthermore, many people believed that getting a divorce was a luxury that only the rich could afford. Indeed, getting a divorce was very expensive. However, since so many people have begun to take a more casual view of marriage, it is interesting to find out that the costs of getting a divorce are lower. In fact, in the United States today, it is not unusual to see newspaper ads providing information on how and where to get a cheap divorce. Hollywood has always been known as the divorce capital of the world. The divorce rate among the movie stars is so high that it's difficult to know who is married to whom. Today, many movie stars change husbands and wives as though they were changing clothes. Until marriage again becomes the serious and important part of people's lives that it used to be, we'll probably continue to see a high rate of divorce.(Words: 216)1.

Unit3Section One T actics for ListeningPart2 Listening and Note-takingA TerritoryWhen we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals.First, there are the Tribal T erritories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor.Second, there is the Family T erritory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them.Finally, there is the Personal T erritory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us.Exercise A:1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space.2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country.3. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house.4. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space.5.

He ... we were booked in by an American organization into a hotel, paid for by them, but they would not let him go through the lobby to his room unless they had a credit card number to prove that he was a human being that was trustworthy, {right, right}. In other words we've got to the stage now with credit cards, however friendly you look, however wealthy you look, or however nice you look ... (That's right, it doesn't matter, they just want to see that number.) Excuse me, where is your credit card? —Because you know you can't rent a major automobile in the States, you know, you can't rent without, without using a credit card, you can't, you know like you were saying, go into a hotel ...—I think that what's underneath that is the society in which you're only good if you have numbers attached to you, (Mm.) that are computerised, (Yeah.) and can trace you, and everybody's insured against everybody else (Yeah.) and ... that side of credit I find rather upsetting.— It's kind of ugly, isn't it?— Like a lot of people ,it's a great facility, if you're disciplined with it.1.D2. D3. CDialogue 2 Card Insurances— I'll tell you about one awful experience that happened to me, erm, I took out, erm ... one of these card insurances that cover all your cards (Mm.) should your cards be stolen and I had my handbag snatched* in a store and immediately got the store security, who were very quick, got me into their office and we phoned all of the credit cards that I had on me, within ten minutes.— Which is what they tell you to do?—Yeah. When, I suppose by the time we’d got to all of them it about half an after the bag had been snatched. Got up to the top floor of the office, started ringing round, and the whole thing was done within half an hour. Erm, when the bag was snatched it went through apparently a chain of people, out of the store, and it went two miles away and they managed to ... three different people had spent over £2,000 on four of my cards ... —But you're only liable* for the first 50.—I wasn't liable for any of it. Because thank goodness I had this insurance. —None of it. Yeah.—But ...—T ouch wood* quick. That was ...—.. They'd spent it within twenty minutes of stealing.—That's incredible, isn't it?—And the thing that absolutely horrified me was I was close to limits on two of the cards, the ones that I do clear every month (Mm – mm.) I was close to the limit I'm allowed on those, and they, both of those cards they went into banks, said they were me, and got (No!) well over what the top limit would have been.—Really! Well it just goes to show, you could walk into a bank and get more than you could possibly ever pay off*!—I couldn't probably, because I go in, and they say, "No, you've spent it all already?—Right, right.1. F2. F 3, F 4. T 5. T 6. T 7. F 8.TPassage 1 Credit CardsThe system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place.Cards can be presented at any place where the bank card sign is displayed, and that could be at a shop, a service station, a hotel, a restaurant or in fact at all kinds of businesses.The sales assistant imprints the card details onto a sales voucher* which the customer signs, and the card is then returned to the customer. Each month the bank sends the holder a credit card statement setting out where purchases were made and totalling what is owing. A payment has to be madewithin 25 days of the date of the statement, but not necessarily the full amount. If the customer pays in full within this time the use of the card does not cost anything, But if he decides to pay only the minimum repayment shown on the statement –£5 or 5% of the outstanding* balance*, which- ever is the greater -- he automatically chooses to use the system's extended repayment facility. The remaining balance is then carried forward and attracts interest at the rate of 2.25% per month.Bank credit cards are more versatile than store credit accounts in that they also enable people to obtain cash .Any bank displaying the bank card sign will arrange a cash advance* for a card holder, whether or not be is one of their own customers. For money drawn in this way the bank makes a charge at the rate of 2 25% a month calculated. cash advances appear on the monthly bank card statement.The bank credit card system operates entirely separately from cheque accounts but nevertheless it is a customer's previous relationship with his bank that is used as a guide to the amount of credit he will be extended. When a card is issued a personal credit limit is imposed indicating the maximum that can be owing at any one time. This is confidential* between customer and bank and does not appear on the card.Exercise A:The system of bank credit cards operates in much the same way as a store credit account except that the holder is not restricted to making purchases in one place.

Demonstrators clashed with riot police in front of Congress after the chamberof deputies approved the measure. Brazilian media reports say at least 60 people were injured. Some demonstrators said the president had betrayed them by seeking approval of the measure in Congress. The measure is designed to cut retirement assistance, raise the retirement age of public workers and tax their retirement money. The government says the changes are necessary to save the government thousands of millions of dollars. Exercise A:This news item is about public workers' reaction to a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers.Exercise B:Thousands of public workers have begun to demonstrate violently against a retirement reform plan passed by Brazilian lawmakers Wednesday.

D3. C4. ASection three oral workSection Four Supplementary ExercisesParent-Teacher Associations6 million people in the United States belong to parent-teacher associations*, or PTA. PTA's work is to help schools and students in their communities.Members give their time to serve on committees. They plan school projects and special activities, such as sales and other events to assist schools.Members also serve as activists for children's issues* before government agencies and other organizations. There are national, state and local PTA organizations. PTA groups exist in the 50 American states and the District of Columbia. The PTA also operates in the United States Virgin Islands and in Department of Defense schools in the Pacific and Europe. These are schools for children of American military families.Three women are responsible for establishing the Parent-T eacher Association. T wo of them, Alice McLellan Birney and Phoebe Apperson Hearst, established the Congress of Mothers in 1897. Both women lived in Washington, D.C.Alice Birney proposed the plan for the group in 1895. T wo years later, she met Phoebe Hears who provided the money to start the organization. Later, fathers, educators and other interested citizens joined the group. It then changed its name to the National Congress of Parent-T eacher Associations.Selena Sloan Butler is considered the third founder of the PTA. She established and served as the first president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and T eachers. In 1970, the congress united with the National PTA.The National PTA provides members with, among other things, information online about educational issues. It publishes a free newsletter called "This Week in Washington" on its website. It tells about developments that affect education.There are critics of the National PTA. In a recent book, education researcher Charlene Haar says the positions of the group mainly serve the interests of teachers unions. PTA spokeswoman Jenni Sopko says the group speaks for parents, students and teachers, and is not influenced by the unions. She also notes that other countries have used the PTA in the United States as an example to develop their own parent-teacher associations.Exercise A:1. It stands for parent-teacher associations.2. Its work is to help schools and students in their communities.3. Six million people in the United States belong to parent-teacher associations.4. She established and served as the first president of the National Congress of Colored Parents and T eachers.5.

Is it necessary for schools in China to have PTA?2. What roles can PTA play at schools in China?3. If your parent is selected as the member of PTA. will you support him/her?Passage 2 Your Legal Rights at the SalesJust who is doing the favour for whom in the sales? Are the shops really giving us shoppers a chance to buy bargains? Or are we just helping them to clear their shelves twice a year to make way for new lines* -- buying up* the rubbish they would otherwise throw away?In most sales there is a bit of both. Some bargains are more genuine than others. Some price claims are true, while others are misleading or plain false.If the sale notice says "Coats -- reduced from £30 to £10” it should ,by law ,be true.The rules are that, unless a shop says otherwise, the coats must have been on sale at the higher price for at least 28 consecutive days in the previous six months. They can, however, get around it by saying "Last week £30. Now £10."Be a bit suspicious about a ticket which just says "Sale price £5.' It may mean the goods are specially bought in for the sale and does not necessarily indicate any reduction.And there is nothing to prevent the shopkeeper boasting: "Worth £50, only £20' or even "Normally£300, only £150."Another practice which is frowned upon, though not illegal, is an imprecise offer, like "Up to £l0 off latest models." It gives no clear idea of how much you have to spend or exactly what you have to buy to benefit.If you see a price claim you do not believe or feel to be misleading, you can complain to the local Trading Standards Office -- the town hall willput you in touch.If you see a notice saying "No refunds on sales goods," ignore it, but don't forget it. It is illegal for shops to say this and you should report it to the Trading Standards Officer. He can order the signs to be removed.Sale or no sale, nothing can remove your right to your money back if the goods are faulty. If on the other hand, you just change your mind about something you buy in the sale the shop does not have to give you anything back.Goods labelled "seconds" have their own peculiar problems. You cannot expect something described as "seconds" to be perfect in every way, but the shop has no right to sell you anything that is not fit for the purpose for which it was made.A "slightly imperfect" kettle should still boil water and you can demand your money back if it doesn't. So take your spectacles with you and never be afraid to ask what is substandard about the thing you are about to buy.Exercise A:You have the right to know the true price. You have the right to know the quality of goods. Sale or no sale, nothing can remove your right to your money back if the goods are faulty.Exercise B:I.D 2. D 3. C 4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C 8.
