Unit 1 Another Busy Day（1）Amy: 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 reporter yet.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.Unit 1 Another Busy Day（2）Amy: 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 News（1）Tony: 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 thestar 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.Unit 2 Breaking News（2）Talia: OK. I'll get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, we'll run the tape on tonight's broadcas—t before the competition hears about it. In fact, they may already have a copyof 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 beena star on the national team for four years now.People do crazythings 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 youremotions get in the way of your work. If you do, I'll have to findsomeone else to work on this story.Unit 3 A Job For Talia（1）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 isyours.Nick ’s voice on tape: Well, I can really u tsh e money. You ’ve gotyourself a deal.Woman’s voice on tape: Great. It ’s a pleasure doing business with you. Tony: 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 ’v investigated other scandals. But something here doesn ’t seem right.Tony: What do you mean?Talia: It just doesn ’t make s e n sa e w.f o N r i d c k l o Cv r e s soccer. Why wouldhe do something to hurt his career?Tony: That ’s a good question. How well do you know Nick Crawford? Ishe a friend of yours?Talia: No, not really. I just knew him in college. We had English togetherfor two semesters.Tony: Oh, that ’s it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here fromEngland about 10 years ago. I know that he I’k nsoswmart.Andthat he ’s always dreamed of being a great soccer star.Tony: Mm-hmm.Talia: So, why would he risk ruining his career?Unit 3 A Job For Talia（2）Talia: 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 breakI. know that. 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 of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of Trust（1）Talia: 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 classtogether, weren’t we?Talia: That’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 ri g r ehct.aAl,syIou 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 aboSutome.thing aboutme throwing a game?Talia: That ’s why I ’m here.Nick: Too bad. Well, maybe we can meet again sometime, under differentcircumstances.Unit 4 A Matter Of Trust（2）Talia: 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 ’taI l?y.R Y e o u can trust me.Nick: Look, the only goal I have right now is helping my team win thequalifying 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 y oud i o dr n’t youthrow 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 doyou 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 Explana（t i o1）nTalia: OK, let ’s get this straight. You ’re one of the country ’s players ?Nick: Well, I have to admit —that's true. Of course, some people thinkthat ’s not such a great achievement.Talia: Now, for some reason, you sat out one of the biggest games of theyear.Nick: Not just for some reason. I sat out because I had a spraine（d扭伤）ankle. I could hardly walk, I certainly couldn play. ’ｔTalia: But your coach can ’t verify this.Nick: Of course not. You can ’t see a s pr-ar ai n y.on an XTalia: 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 round qualifying 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 thousandNdicoklla’r s.svoice on tape: And all I have to do is sit on thebench?Woma’n s voice on tape: That ’s right. Dothat and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick ’svoice 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.Unit 5 Nick ’s Explana（t i o2）nNick: 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 goingto 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 worksfor Newsline. This is Coach Haskins, and you may recognize myteammate, 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 worrNick, but I ’ve been getting some p ressu rte he fr So moccerFederation.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 News（1）Talia: 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 amistake ?or something ?Something is funny here. He ’s a M s a o k c i n c g e r star.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 itfrom me. I ’ve seen a lot of people do stupid t h Ei n v g e s n.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 beforethe qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that ?I ’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation for this.Unit 6 Bad News（2）Tony: You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. We ’re going with t hi t s o s n t i o g r h y t. If wedon’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 w t h o i r s k i b n y g onyourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.Talia: No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I ’d be fair. I promise you I wouldn ’t let my emotions color my j udgm Aen ndt.Ipromised 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 Dea（l1）Talia: 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! Fiftythousand dollars appeared in your bank account just before thequalifying match. Fifty thousand dollars!Nick: So?Talia: So?

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 youragent9? I wanna confirm10 this “endorsement deal ”．Nick: Except11, I didn ’t use an agent. Talia: No agent?

I really want to introduce you to him.He's ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing.I'm so disappointed. I feel like such a fool.Amy: Look, Talia, you' re no fool. Don' t be so hard on yourself.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 story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I'd be yourassistant, and you'd give me a raise.Talia: I'm so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I'm so depressed. Amy: Don't look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick: Talia. Talia.Amy: Hello. Nick Crawford?

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 tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to 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 Challeng（e1）Nick: 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 family. 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 down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for 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 involved, too. They somehow madea phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousand dollars for a fakeendorsement.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 shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so that he can bethe 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.Unit 12 Dean ’s Challe（n g2）eNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you' 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 up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't knowyou 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.。

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.

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 l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Script 2Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this.

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.iNick：Cool!Jackie：In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna 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 kid 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. So it sounds like yo u’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.

Too bad.Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I rememberseeing 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 you could 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!

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 for Professor Roberts.Talia: Hold it.

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.

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? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough Talia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It'samazing.How easily you can get people's addresses these days.

I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. 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 Nickusually 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 endorsementTalia: 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 to lunch. 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 what 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 don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I thin k 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. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile. Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know.

And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right?

Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...

2013212703 xxxSchool of mathematics and statisticsOct 14, 2014Listening and Speaking CourseThe Importance of TrustLadies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I’m very glad to make a two-minute speech today. And my topic is the Importance of Trust. With the development of the world, not only energy is a problem, but the problem of trust more and more is not optimistic. So when we solve the energy problem is also more to solve the trust problem. Because trust is the basis of society, and no one wants to live the lies and deceit in a world full of. And trust can keep things simple, can improve the working efficiency, improve the feelings between people, and give us a sense of security.However, trust is fragile, easy to be shaken. Therefore, to strengthen the trust between people is important. Honesty and trust are inseparable, only honest people can get trust, so we must be honest. We also need to trust others, because you trust others, you will gain the same trust.At last, I hope that the whole society will be full of trust, so the whole world will become more beautiful. That’s all. Thanks for your listening.。

Passage 1ScriptsHappiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day.Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier. Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourselfwaiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier?Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings?Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties.Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise good health.Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5) intense activities right before or after gettinginto bed can interrupt sleep. Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room that’s too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be anobstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9) suffers from other sleeping difficulties, it oftenbecomes your problem too! Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10) competitive, so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night. All these make sleeping at regular times difficult.。

I went to the Roundhouse and it was the most amazing concert. It was free, so we ended up having nice passes, so we were close to the band and it was incredible. It’s the best thing I think I’ve seen in a long time.W2: I’ve been to the theater quite a lot in London. I went to see Waiting for Godot at the National.W5: I’ve recently been to Hampton Court, which is a royal palace most famously known for being the place where King Henry VIII lived, and a few of his wives that made it there.M3: I … I think Tate Modern is the best place I’ve been to, you know, because it’s … it’s different every time … Um, you know, they really push the boundaries of, youknow, the displays, compared to a lot of the traditional museums and art galleries in London.M5: The best thing I’ve ever done was watching a gig in Hyde Park for my cousin’s birthday.W4: The most exciting thing I’ve done in London? Um, I’ve watched England play football at Wembley – that was quite exciting.M2: Just this weekend, we were in er, Brixton, in Brockwell Park, and there was a country fair going on and just the characters in the crowd were just absolutely fantastic.M4: I’ve done a lot of interesting things. I’ve had a lot of good experiences here but probably the best thing was when I went to Wimbledon this year. Um … I go t to watch … I got to watch Andy Murray on Center Court. I managed to get tickets to that. And it was just a really good atmosphere and it was a good example of, sort of, British culture and sport.ListeningScriptsThis happened in Australia … when I was about 25. I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk … in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked … and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really … because I decided to go further … I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um … anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them … There wasa group –maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er … um, I … I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue … I didn’t move … and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking … I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still I didn’t move. In the end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had!ViewingF = Francesco; M1 = Mamas; M2 = MariaF: Kalimera.

In a few minutes he and Maria will be man and wife.M2: I do!F: And now we go to party. It’s certainly the largest wedding reception I’ve ever been to. At Cretan weddings, guests give money as gifts.

Even societies that are very rational and scientific are sometimes a little bit superstitious. For example, the United States is a country that is very advanced in science andtechnology. But American people sometimes believe in superstitions. Americans consider “13” an unlucky number. Some people in the United States also believe that if Friday falls on the 13th day of the month, they will have bad luck.Some Americans believe they will have bad luck if they walk under a ladder. Even if people say they are not superstitious, they will often avoid walking under a ladder. Often people consider it unlucky to break a mirror. If a person breaks a mirror, he or she will have seven years of bad luck. Americans also think they will have bad luck if a black cat crosses their path. A long time ago, people believed that black cats were actually witches.However, some things are thought to bring good luck. For instance, some Americans believe if they dream about a white cat, or step on their own shadow, or put a mirror just across the door, they will have good luck. Or if they catch a falling leaf on the first day of autumn, they will have good luck all winter. Others think if they blow out all the candles on their birthday cake in one blow, they will get whatever they want. And some people think they will have good luck if they find a penny on the ground and pick it up.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to the passage, what is considered as bad luck?Q3: Why is it considered bad luck to see a black cat crossing one’s path?Q4: According to the passage, what will bring people good luck?Passage 2ScriptsSome parts of the earth are more likely to have earthquakes than other parts. This is usually true of 1) mountainous areas because there the thickness of rocks is not even.It is easy to understand why people are so 2) frightened by earthquakes. People used to believe that when an earthquake 3) took place, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, and then it closed. It was also thought that those people would 4) vanish forever. But now we know this is not what really happens.What we need to fear most is the effects of a serious earthquake, including fires, floods, and landslides. A powerful earthquake 5) occurred in Yellowstone National Park on August 17, 1959. The earthquake was 6) massive and very strong. It also caused the worst landslides in US historysince 1927.After the earthquake, some people said that they would never visit Yellowstone, because they were afraid they would be 7) caught in such a disaster caused by the earthquake. This is actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would 8) keep us away from beautiful mountains for the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day, such a powerful earthquake like the Yellowstone one does not happen frequently at all. We should feel 9) grateful that very few of us will suffer such a bad natural disaster. Besides, if we know10) in advance and make careful preparations, the loss of lives could be avoided.。

Unit 11A: You'll never believe what happened to me at school today.B: Ooh, what?A: Dana, OK. I like Dana normally.B: Yeah. That's what I thought.A: But she got furious at me today. She got totally mad.B: What did you do?A: It was just ridiculous why she got mad. Somebody at... in the office rearranged the all the mailboxes because, they, you know, we have more, different people working there now so that had to re-alphabetize all the mailboxes.B: Oh, OK.A: So I went to the office, just, you know, as I always do in the morning, I grabbed my mail, I thought that was my mail, but I grabbed Dina's mail. So I took it to my office and just laid it down because I had a bunch, I had a bunch of things to do. And,...eh, so Dana couldn't find her mail. When she found out I had it, she went ballistic on me.B: Wait a minute, how did she even know that you had it?A: Well, I don't know how she figured it out. I mean, my mailbox is right next to hers. So I think what she did was, she went and saw Frank. Frank didn't have it. And she came to me. And I looked at my mail. It was on my desk. I said: “Oh, I've got your mail. Sorry about that, Dina.” And she went crazy. She got really mad at me. And I apologized. I said: “I am sorry. It was just an accident.” But, you know ...I don't get it sometimes.B: That is ridiculous. She must have been having a bad day about something else.A: Maybe that is it.B: You know, because nobody gets that angry over mail.A: Well, not usually. But she was really mad. I apologized. She, you know, she got her mail ...and ...B: Did she calm down?A: Yeah, she did. Eventually.B: OK.A: I think she is ok now. But ...it was really a surprise when she got that mad and I don't get it.

That will be very exciting. Very expensive, but very exciting.A: I know. Do you think we'll stay in this house?B: Yeah, I think so.A: Because if we stay here, we've got a lot of things we have to fix.B: Oh, that's true.A: We've got to get new carpeting ...B: Oh ...A: We've got to get a new furnace ...B: Yeah, the furnace is about ready to go, isn't it?A: Yeah, we may have to get that long before we ever think of moving. We are going to have to get...I'd like to turn one of the bedrooms, as long as the kids are gone, into a computer room.B: Oh, that will be great! Have a place where we can keep it so it's not in the way any more.A: Exactly!B: I love that idea!A: And clear out all the crap! Won't that be great?B: That will really be fun! Yeah! But, I don't know, maybe we should do some more traveling. A: That would be wonderful.B: I mean we've always wanted to go to London. I think we should do this.A: OK!B: All right.。

Lots of my friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you? What do you do to keep fit? M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc. Part 2 M1: Uh … I do quite a few things actually. Um, I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs. Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there quite a bit. I coach, actually coach rowing as well. W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do any extra organized exercise. W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques. M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week. And I also watch what I eat. W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature also. M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running. W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep1/ 18fit – going to the gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active. W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours doing foot patrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps me quite fit. Part 3 F: What other things would you like to do to keep fit? M1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport. Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey. W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the only sports that I’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV. M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle. W3: I would like to learn to rock climb. M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfortunately I don’t have time and it is a little bit expensive. W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing. W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like jive, 1940s jazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way of keeping fit, and you meet a lot of people. Part 4 F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------M1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet things. W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well. W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that –as much as I can, although it does happen quite regularly. W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it. W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early hours of the morning. W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink caffeine. M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also eat a lot of cake. Listening Scripts I = Interviewer; W = Woman I: Can you tell us a little about superfoods? W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach. I: Hmm. W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you. I: Right. W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future. I: Can you tell us why not? W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day. I: Um, right. W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week. I: I see. So what you’3/ 18re saying is … I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills. W: Yes. I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future? W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it. I: Right. W: But I don’t think food pills will replace normal food. I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons? W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’t the same. I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills? W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future. I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about … W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor. I: Can you give an example? W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ I: The same food that tastes different for different people … W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose. I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button. I: So how does it work? W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future. I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different a reas of science … Viewing Scripts B = Ronnie Barker; C = Ronnie Corbett B: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

He was “King of Football”, and scored more goals for Brazil than anyone else. And he was born very poor. You know he didn’11/ 18t have money for a football so he used to practice kicking a grapefruit, or a sock stuffed with paper. A: How much do you walk a day? E: Oh my goodness. Well, I suppose. I don’t walk very much actually. I … um … I drive, the car everywhere. That’s terrible, isn’t it? Um. Yes, I probably only walk about, about maybe five minutes every day.Further practice in listening Short conversations Scripts Conversation 1 W: Sorry. I have a project to do and I will have to stay at work until 6 o’clock. So I can’t make it to the bar at 5:30. M: OK. Then let’s meet at the cinema 10 minutes before the movie starts. Q: What is the woman going to do with the man in the evening? Conversation 2---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ M: Sally’s been doing yoga for three months to lose weight. But I wonder how she can succeed when she eats like that. W: Oh, poor Sally. She really should watch her diet and try to eat something less fatty. Q: What do we learn about Sally? Conversation 3 W: We use flexible time in our company. That is, early risers can begin work at 7 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. while late sleepers need not go to work until 10 a.m. but they must work until 6 in the evening. M: That’s cool for a night owl like me. Q: At what time is the man most likely to go to work? Conversation 4 M: You’ve been working so hard. I know you don’t want to rest because you love your job. But remember what people say: Relax or die. W: Thanks for caring so much. But, really, I’m feeling fine. I don’t need time off. Q: What does the woman mean?

W: That’s right. But you know triathlons are tough with the three events: swimming, then cycling and finally running! My sister, Jennifer, did a triathlon last year and loved it! So, I decided to give it a try. M: Good for you! I did my first triathlon back in college six years ago. Now, I do at least one triathlon every year. It keeps me fit and healthy with regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three events? W: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it! I woke up at six a.m. every morning and then ran three miles. Now that I’m training for the triathlon I’m loving waking up at six a.m. and running again. M: Not me! Running is my worst event! I get bored when I run. I start daydreaming about other things and forget where I’m going! Two times last week I made a wrong turn and almost got lost! W: For me, it’s swimming. Swimming pools are fine –but triathlons … take place in lakes. And … I’m scared that a giant fish will eat me! M: What?! Come on! There aren’t any giant people-eating fish in lakes and even the small fish will be scared away when hundreds of people---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ from the triathlon are swimming there all at the same time! Q1: Why did the woman decide to do a triathlon? Q2: When did the man first do a triathlon? Q3: How does the man feel about running? Q4: Why doesn’t the woman like swimming in the triathlon? Passage 1 Scripts Happiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day. Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier. Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success. Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most15/ 18exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health. Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, you are having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around. Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier? Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions? Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings? Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?

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.

I’m an innocent man.Unit 5 Nick’s ExplanationTalia : 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 had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. You can't see a sprain on an X-ray.Talia : You can'tNick : No.Talia :I see ...Nick : You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth.

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 thisNick: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, pleaseTalia: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 meCoach: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 meanCoach: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 meanTalia:Nick. I don’t think he did it. I have a feeling.Tony: And you have that feeling because…Talia:No for one thing, he told me he was 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 thatAmy: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 might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. W’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 John Donnelly.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.

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 liedNick: 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 goingJackie: 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’ll pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes.Nick: She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the star player.Talia: Wow! This is amazing. So, what are you going to do nowNick: 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 family.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 down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for me, thenNick: I would love to! The truth is, it's Dean. I know it's him.Coach: Dean Who are you talking about Dean BishopNick: Yes. Dean Bishop. His sister is involved, too. They somehow made 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 gameNick: Exactly.Coach: But Dean And his sister This is hard to believe. Why would Dean do this to youNick: Just think about it. Dean is a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so 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 proofNick: 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 BishopCoach: He's going to play in the qualifying match. Next to you, he's our strongest player.Video 2 ScriptNick: Dean.Dean: Nick, buddy. Tough rap you’re taking. Is there anything I can do to helpNick: Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach what really happened.Dean: Excuse meNick: You know. You can tell him about this scheme of yours.Dean: Uh, what are you talking aboutNick: How you and your-so talented sister have been plotting for how long nowDean: I don't know what you're talking about.Nick: Yeah. The two of you dreamed up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: 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 up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister. Dean: 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 dayVideo Listening 1Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, y o u'r e 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? I t's very ... unique.Talia: Very funny. I had to work late last night. I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood, and Id o n't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you' re not a reporter yet.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: T h a i's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I II do it after work. Amy: You work too hard.Video Listening 2Amy: Why do n'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 meetsomeone.Talia: No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me ...Tony: Good, y ou'r e 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 clone something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsVideo Listening 1Tony : Someone sent us th is tape. This is incredible. What a shame.Talia : What's a shame?Tony : Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? H e'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 Cr awford 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 c o u l d n'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' II probably lose again.Amy : Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony : Talia, that' s your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you' d better find out fast.Video Listening 2Talia : OK. I' II get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, w e'l l run the tape on t o n i g h t'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 s h o u l d n'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'l l do it. It’s just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony : You do?Talia : Yes. We went to college together. I t'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 c a n't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. Y o u'r e a good researcher, and one day I hope y o u'l l be a great reporter. But d o n't let your emotions get in the way of your work.If you do, I' II 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.Tony: 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: T h a t'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, t h a t's it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about10 years ago. I know that h e's smart. And I know that h e's always dreamed of beinga 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 d o n't know ...Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, y o u'r e 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'l l 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 that. I'l l tell you what: come up with something big and t h e story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy ... I hear he can be very charming. D o n't let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 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 together, weren’t we? Talia: Tha’s righ t, 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 we ll 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 a ren’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? Rea lly.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 ExplanationTalia : 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 had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. 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 round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia : And not because you took a bribe?Nick : A bribe? How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia : Then can you explain the tape?Nick : What tape?Talia : Listen to this.(Voice on tape)Woman: We' II pay you fifty thousand pounds.Nick: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman : That's right. Do that and fifty thousand pounds is yours.Nick: Well, I could really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupid? 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:No for one thing, he told me he was 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 dollarsin 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 might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice.W’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 John Donnelly. 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 Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No, actually, I prefer to stand.Nick:Ok. Whatever. So now what’s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in you 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 game. Nick: It is also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing a new line of athletic shoes. Talia:Oh, really?Nick:Yes, really. They’re going to be called Kicks. They are coming out next year. “Kicks: they are cooler than your old shoes. More comfortable, too. And they are less expensive than they look. Come and get your kicks!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent? I want to confirm this endorsement deal.Nick:Except, I didn’t use an agent.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!Video 2Nick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here. Jackie: E xcuse me. Aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick:Yes, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie: No. not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I am the VP of marketing for Kicks Shoes. Nick: Uh-huh.Jackie:And I have a very interesting proposition for you.Nick:Keep going, I am listening.Jackie: Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say, 12:30. we can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you all about the deal.Nick:She offered me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s it?Nick: Basically.Talia:Hmm.Nick:Well, 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 thought, I’d rather pay her a visit.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1Talia:Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:hmmm. I don’t think…I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia:No, I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker.Receptionist: …no, definitely not. There’s no one by that name.Talia:This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia:Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I didn’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long,I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was anarchitect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you are not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No, no. the name is Jackie Baker. She is a VP at kicks shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you are talking about. Kicks shoes? Hold on a second, I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of kicks shoes and they are not in our directory. Are you sure you are in the right place?Talia:No. I’m nor sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2Talia: Oh, no. my cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist: you seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone?Talia:I don’t know. Maybe. Probably…yes.Receptionist: I n that case, be my guest. Just dial 9 first.Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone’s in big trouble.Nick:Hello.Talia: Hello, nick. It’s Talia. Remember me?Nick: Of course I remember you.Talia: I wasn’t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts. Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, did n’t I?Talia:There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve never even heard of kicks shoes.Nick:That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building.Talia: That’s right.Nick:But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line, you’re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No help for NickVideo 1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry. But there's no Jackie Baker here.Nick : Do you mind if I look at that?Receptionist: Not at all. Have a look. Let me guess. You're Nick.Nick: That's right, but ... how did you know?Receptionist: Oh, you' re famous!Nick : Oh. Do you follow soccer?Receptionist: Soccer? No, never watch it. I was listening when that woman called you. I over heard everything.Nick : Well, that's great.Receptionist: She was really angry. Wow!Nick : I know. I know. Say, do you know what time it is?Receptionist : Nearly five. I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived.Nick : I t's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hour.Video Listening 2Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you?Nick: Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks?Receptionist:Excuse me?Nick:Kicks shoes. May I speak to someone else at Kicks shoes?Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there’s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before today.Nick:I don’t understand.Receptionist:Cheer up. Things can’t be as bad as they seem.Nick:No?Receptionist:Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me.Nick:Great. Thanks. She’s, uh, about as tall as you are. She’s got long black hair.She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met her here.She looked like an executive.Receptionist:And she’s got blue eyes?Nick:Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I gel for you?Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie?Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great.Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field.Patty: Really?Nick: Yeah. It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind making it louder? I need to catch up on the news.Patty : No problem.Reporter on TV: Let' s see if he' s got some comments about this scandal. Hey, Dean!What do you think about the Nick Crawford scandal?Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.Reporter on TV: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing;Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. /' m sure they' II decide as soon as they have more information.Reporter: What kind of information do you think they' II need to find?Dean : It's hard to say ...Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her!Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video 2Patty : Jackie Baker? 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. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! 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 is clear... 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 RevealedVideo 1 ScriptTalia: I’m so glad I went to that class last night.

I’m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself.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 story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise. Talia: I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed.Amy:Don’t look now, but the big storyteller is here.Nick:Talia. Talia.Amy:Hello. Nick Crawford?

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 involved, too. They somehow made 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 i s a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so 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 wor king 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, buddy. Tough rap you’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 up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: 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 up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: 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 6 Wit and fitListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = FinnPart 1F: Often it’s hard to find a time to exercise when you have a full-time job. Lots of my friends belong to gyms but I prefer to go running outside to keep fit. How about you? What do you doto keep fit?M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 2M1: Uh … I do quite a few things actually. Um, I go to the gym quite regularly. I go for runs. Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there quite a bit. I coac h, actually coach rowing as well.W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do any extra organized exercise.W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques.M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week. And I also watch what I eat.W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature also.M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running.W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep fit – going to the gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active.W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours doing foot patrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps me quite fit.Part 3F: What other things would you like to do to keep fit?M1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport.Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey.W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the only sports that I’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV.M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle.W3: I would like to learn to rock climb.M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfort unately I don’t have time and it is a little bit expensive.W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing.W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like jive, 1940s jazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way of keeping fit, andyou meet a lot of people.Part 4F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthy?M1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Um, I love dessert, and I love to eat, er, sweet things.W4: I definitely drink too much coffee, and I do like chocolate as well.W2: Eating late is really bad for you so I try and avoid that – as much as I can, although it does happen quite regularly.W1: I love chocolate, and I probably eat too much of it.W5: Um, because of my shift work, I eat a lot of fast food, er, especially in the early hours of the morning.W3: Gosh, I don’t know. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink caffeine.M3: I eat far too many crisps, and chocolate and biscuits. And because I bake, I also eat a lot of cake.ListeningScriptsI = Interviewer; W = WomanI: Can you tell us a little about superfoods?W: Well, um, superfoods include tomatoes, broccoli and spinach.I: Hmm.W: These have lots of vitamins, and they are really good for you.I: Right.W: Anyway, they may improve our health, but I don’t think superfoods will be the answer to our eating problems in the future.I: Can you tell us why not?W: Well, the most important thing is to eat healthy food every day.I: Um, right.W: And this is more important than the idea of superfoods. Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see. So what you’re saying is …I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills.W: Yes.I: Are they healthier than other types of food? Could they be the food of the future?W: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it.I: Right.W: But I don’t think food pills will repla ce normal food.I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons?W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills?W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about …W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an example?W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that tastes di fferent for different people …W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it work?W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different areas of science …ViewingScriptsB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

So, I decided to give it a try.M: Good for you! I did my first triathlon back in college six years ago. Now, I do at least one triathlon every year. It keeps me fit and healthy with regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three events?W: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it! I woke up at six a.m. every morning and then ran three miles. Now that I’m training for the triathlon I’m loving waking up at six a.m. and running again.M: Not me! Running is my worst event! I get bored when I run. I start daydreaming about other things and forget where I’m going! Two times last week I made a wrong turn and almost got lost!W: For me, it’s swimming. Swimming pools are fine –but triathlons … take place in lakes. And … I’m scared that a giant fish will eat me!M: What?! Come on! There aren’t any giant people-eating fish in lakes and even the small fish will be scared away when hundreds of peoplefrom the triathlon are swimming there all at the same time!Q1: Why did the woman decide to do a triathlon?Q2: When did the man first do a triathlon?Q3: How does the man feel about running?Q4: Why doesn’t the woman like swimming in the triathlon?Passage 1ScriptsHappiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day.Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The mostexciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier?Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings?Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the nu mber one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family.Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise good health.Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5) intense activities right before or after gettinginto bed can interrupt sleep. Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep. Environmental factors such as a room that’s too hot or cold, too noisy or too bright can be anobstacle to sound sleep. Other influences to 8) pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner. If you have to sleep beside someone who has different sleeping habits, breathes in a noisy way, or 9) suffers from other sleeping difficulties, it often becomes your problem too! Having a 24/7 lifestyle can also interrupt regular sleep patterns. Industries are working round the clock to be 10) competitive, so some people have to work at night; with nonstop automatic communication systems, people are communicating day and night. All these make sleeping at regular times difficult.。

What commercial?Nick：I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Script 2Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this.

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.

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!

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?

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 Ask someone not to interrupt you 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 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?

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.

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.

Am y: Try another tape and see if that works.Tony: Thanks, Amy. 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. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way. Amy: Poor Talia.Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?Unit 9Script 1Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.Talia: Didn’t you get my message?Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...Nick: What are you talking about?Talia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie andDean’sconversation.Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.Nick: Oh, no!Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence! Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourselfTalia: Well, I’m supposed to be a p rofessional! And I want to be a reporter! Script 2Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.Talia: You’re right. What’s done is done. 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 m ine. 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 ter rible 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? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. 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. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.Jackie: It' easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello, Nick! Remember me?Nick: I certainly do.Talia: What are you doing here?Jackie: Do you have a video camera?Talia: Yes.Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous? Talia: What's the catch?Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.Script 2Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?Talia: You look fine. Really.Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure!Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. 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 Nickusually 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 endorsementTalia: 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 to lunch. 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 what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve eve r 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 wer e 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 don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I think th is 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 rel ieved. 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. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile. Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know.

And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right?

Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...

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 reporter yet.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.

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 thatgame?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.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.

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. Butdon't let your emotions get in the way of your work.

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. AndI 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 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 inme.Tony: Talia, look, you’re not a reporter yet, you’re still a researcher. Remember?Talia: Please, Tony. Give me a chance.

Just one m ore 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 Nickto tell me everything?Tony: You deserve a break.I know that. I’ll tell you what: come up with s omething big and the story is yours. But,Talia becareful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy… I hear he can be very charming. Don’tlet him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 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 together, weren’t we?Tali a: 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 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 quickl y. 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 dealwith 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 ordidn’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 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’tplay.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 round qualifying match because I had a sprainedankle.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 thousanddollars 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 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 youmay 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 fromthe 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 aweek before the qualifying match.Talia: Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see that… I’m not going to stop investigating. There might be a good explanation forthis.Video 2Tony: You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. We’re going with this storytonight. If we don’t, th e 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 d on’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 onthis by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly.Talia: No. I can do this mysel f. 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 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you gonna stop lying to me?Nick: Hello, Talia. And how are you?

What a surprise!12Video 2Nick: 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 1Talia: Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist: Hmmm. I don’t think… I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia: No. I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker. Receptionist No, definitely not. There's no one here by that name. Talia: This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: Yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia: Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I don’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Tenyears too long, I might add.… Someone named JacobBanker used to work here. Funny, he was an architect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Areyou sure you’re not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No. No. The name is Jackie Baker. She’s a VP at Kicks Shoes. Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Kicks Shoes? Hold on a second. I’m sorry, but I’ve neverheard of Kicks Shoes and they’re not in our directory. Are you sure you’re in the right place?Talia: No. I’m not sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2Talia: Oh, no. My cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment?Receptionist: You seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone? Talia: I don’t know. Maybe. Probably… Yes!Receptionist: In that case ,be my guest. Just dial 9 first. Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone’s in big trouble.Nick: Hello.Talia: Hello, Nick. It’s Talia. R emember me?Nick: Of course I remember you.Talia: I wasn’t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts.Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, didn’t I? Talia: There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a JackieBaker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve nevereven heard of Kicks Shoes.Nick: That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building?Talia: That’s right.Nick: But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch… Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “The person you are calling is not available”. Ithought it was odd.Nick: Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth. Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you’re gonna see agood story on Newsline, you’re wrong! Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No Help for NickVideo1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived.Nick : It's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hourVideo2Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you?Nick: Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks? Receptionist: Excuse me?Nick: Kicks shoes,,may i speak to someone else at Kicks shoes? Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there’s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before to day.Nick: I don’t understand.Receptionist: Cheer up. Things can’t be as bad as they seem.Nick: No?Receptionist: Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me.Nick: Great. Thanks. She’s, uh, about as tall as you are. She’s got long black hair. She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing anice business suit when I met her here. She looked like an executive. Receptionist: And she’s got blue eyes?Nick: Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist: No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 In the NewsVideo1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I get for you? Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberrysmoothie? ?Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great.Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field.Patty: Really?Nick: Yeah.

The woman standing behind Dean? That's her!Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video2Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her aroundlately. I'm surprised you never ran into her.Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career.Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ... Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! 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 is clear...Patty: Here you go Nick. . I think you're going to need it.Reporter: ……the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he and may never play soccer rofessionallyagain.Unit 11 The Truth RevealedVideo1Talia : 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 night. Josh' s friend Matt was there. I really want to introduce youto him. He's ...Talia: I completely believed him. He can be so persuasive. So convincing. I'm so disappointed. I feel like such a fool.Amy : Look, Talia, you' re no fool. Don' t be so hard on yourself.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 story and become the top reporter at the station. ThenI'd be your assistant, and you'd give me a raise.Talia : I'm so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I'm so depressed.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 storyto that other reporter, what's his name? John Donnelly.Video2Talia : I’ II 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 $50,000to endorse the shoes.Nick : She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to be the starplayer.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 ChallengeVideo1Nick : 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 likewe're family.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 down.Coach : Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for 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 involved, too. They somehow made a phony tape. His sister gave me fifty thousanddollars 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 shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so thathe 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.Video2Nick : Dean.Dean : Nick, buddy. Tough rap you' re taking. Is there anything I can do to help?Nick : Yes, there is something you can do. You can tell Coach whatreally 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 up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. Ididn'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 up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean : 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.

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 k now 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 th at. 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 to gether, 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?

There‟s no one here by that name1.Talia: This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist:Yes. But like I said, there‟s no Jackie Baker here.Talia: Well, maybe she‟s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist:I don‟t think so. I‟ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long, I might add.Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was an architect, nota banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you‟re not looking forJacob Banker?Talia: No. No. The name is Jackie Baker. She‟s a VP at Kicks Shoes.Receptionist:Now I really don‟t know what you‟re talking about. Kicks Shoes? Hold on a second2.

In fact, I‟m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2 transcript (1’53’’)Talia:Oh, no. My cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist:You seem really angry.

Someone‟s in big trouble6.Nick:Hello.Talia:Hello, Nick. It‟s Talia. Remember me?7Nick:Of course I remember you.Talia:I wasn‟t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts.8 Nick:Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, didn‟t I?Talia:There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse9, they‟ve never even heard of Kicks Shoes.Nick:That‟s ridiculous! You‟ve got her business card. You‟re at the Gower Building? Talia:That‟s right.Nick:But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch… Have you tried calling her?Talia:I called before I came, but I got voicemail10. 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!

She‟s got long black hair.She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met herhere. She looked like an executive.Receptionist:And she‟s got blue eyes?Nick:Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don‟t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo Listening 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again.

And just when I thought things were going great.Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field.Patty: Really?Nick: Yeah. It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind making it louder? I need to catch up on the news.Patty : No problem.Reporter on TV: Let' s see if he' s got some comments about this scandal. Hey, Dean!What do you think about the Nick Crawford scandal?Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.Reporter on TV: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing;1 Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. /' m sure they' II decide as soon as they have more information.Reporter: What kind of information do you think they' II need to find?Dean : It's hard to say ...Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her! Patty: That's who?Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes.Video 2Patty : Jackie Baker? 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. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career.Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! 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. 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 RevealedVideo 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.。

Unit 1 Another Busy dayVideo Listening 1Amy: Good morning, Talia.Talia: Oh, hi. Good morning.Amy: You know, y o u'r e 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? I t's very ... unique.Talia: Very funny. I had to work late last night. I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood, and Id o n't care about my hair.Amy: That's probably why you' re not a reporter yet.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: T h a i's easy enough to do. Sounds interesting, too. I guess I II do it after work. Amy: You work too hard.Video Listening 2Amy: Why do n'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 meetsomeone.Talia: No, listen! I'm too busy to go. Go without me ...Tony: Good, y ou'r e 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 clone something with your hair?Unit 2 Breaking NewsVideo Listening 1Tony : Someone sent us th is tape. This is incredible. What a shame.Talia : What's a shame?Tony : Have you ever heard of Nick Crawford, the soccer player? H e'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 Cr awford 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 c o u l d n'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' II probably lose again.Amy : Wow! A real scandal! Is the tape for real?Tony : Talia, that' s your job now. Find out if the tape is authentic. And you' d better find out fast.Video Listening 2Talia : OK. I' II get this tape to an expert.Tony: If we can, w e'l l run the tape on t o n i g h t'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 s h o u l d n'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'l l do it. It’s just that ... I know Nick Crawford.Tony : You do?Talia : Yes. We went to college together. I t'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 c a n't believe it. Nick Crawford taking a bribe?Tony: Listen, Talia. You're smart. Y o u'r e a good researcher, and one day I hope y o u'l l be a great reporter. But d o n't let your emotions get in the way of your work.If you do, I' II 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.Tony: 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: T h a t'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, t h a t's it?Talia: Well, I got to know him a little. I know that he moved here from England about10 years ago. I know that h e's smart. And I know that h e's always dreamed of beinga 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 d o n't know ...Talia: He may remember me. He may be willing to confide in me.Tony: Talia, look, y o u'r e 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'l l 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 that. I'l l tell you what: come up with something big and t h e story is yours. But, Talia, be careful.Talia: What do you mean?Tony: This Nick Crawford guy ... I hear he can be very charming. D o n't let him charm you out of a story.Unit 4 A Matter Of TrustVideo 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 together, weren’t we? Talia: Tha’s righ t, 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 we ll 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 a ren’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? Rea lly.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 ExplanationTalia : 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 had a sprained ankle. I could hardly walk, so I certainly couldn't play.Talia : But your coach can't verify this.Nick : Of course he can't. 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 round qualifying match because I had a sprained ankle.Talia : And not because you took a bribe?Nick : A bribe? How can anyone believe such a ridiculous thing?Talia : Then can you explain the tape?Nick : What tape?Talia : Listen to this.(Voice on tape)Woman: We' II pay you fifty thousand pounds.Nick: And all I have to do is sit on the bench?Woman : That's right. Do that and fifty thousand pounds is yours.Nick: Well, I could really use the money. You've got yourself a deal.Woman: Great. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.Video 2Nick: It sure sounds like my voice, but I don't know why. Why would I do something so stupid? 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:No for one thing, he told me he was 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 dollarsin 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 might be a good explanation for this.Video 2Tony:You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice.W’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 John Donnelly. 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 Endorsement DealVideo 1Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to me?Nick:Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat?Talia: No, actually, I prefer to stand.Nick:Ok. Whatever. So now what’s going on?Talia:This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in you 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 game. Nick: It is also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing a new line of athletic shoes. Talia:Oh, really?Nick:Yes, really. They’re going to be called Kicks. They are coming out next year. “Kicks: they are cooler than your old shoes. More comfortable, too. And they are less expensive than they look. Come and get your kicks!”Talia:Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent? I want to confirm this endorsement deal.Nick:Except, I didn’t use an agent.Talia:No agent? What a surprise!Video 2Nick:Talia, this is what happened.Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.Nick:It was about 10 o’clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here. Jackie: E xcuse me. Aren’t you Nick Crawford?Nick:Yes, that’s right. Do I know you?Jackie: No. not yet, that is. I’m Jackie Baker. I am the VP of marketing for Kicks Shoes. Nick: Uh-huh.Jackie:And I have a very interesting proposition for you.Nick:Keep going, I am listening.Jackie: Why don’t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let’s say, 12:30. we can have lunch nearby, and I’ll tell you all about the deal.Nick:She offered me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes, and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.Talia:That’s it?Nick: Basically.Talia:Hmm.Nick:Well, 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 thought, I’d rather pay her a visit.Unit 8 No One by That NameVideo 1Talia:Hello. I’m here to see Jackie Baker.Receptionist:hmmm. I don’t think…I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He’s on the third floor, 301.Talia:No, I’m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker.Receptionist: …no, definitely not. There’s no one by that name.Talia:This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?Receptionist: yes. But like I said, there’s no Jackie Baker here.Talia:Well, maybe she’s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here. Receptionist: I didn’t think so. I’ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long,I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was anarchitect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you are not looking for Jacob Banker?Talia: No, no. the name is Jackie Baker. She is a VP at kicks shoes.Receptionist: Now I really don’t know what you are talking about. Kicks shoes? Hold on a second, I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of kicks shoes and they are not in our directory. Are you sure you are in the right place?Talia:No. I’m nor sure where I am. In fact, I’m not sure about anything anymore.Video 2Talia: Oh, no. my cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist: you seem really angry.

Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, did n’t I?Talia:There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make matters worse, they’ve never even heard of kicks shoes.Nick:That’s ridiculous! You’ve got her business card. You’re at the Gower Building.Talia: That’s right.Nick:But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her?Talia: I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.Nick:Look, Talia, I don’t know what I can say. I’m telling the truth.Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line, you’re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.Receptionist: Oh, that was good.Unit 9 No help for NickVideo 1Nick : Jackie Baker, pleaseReceptionist: Oh, I'm sorry.

I was listening when that woman called you. I over heard everything.Nick : Well, that's great.Receptionist: She was really angry. Wow!Nick : I know. I know. Say, do you know what time it is?Receptionist : Nearly five. I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived.Nick : I t's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hour.Video Listening 2Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you?Nick: Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks?Receptionist:Excuse me?Nick:Kicks shoes. May I speak to someone else at Kicks shoes?Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there’s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I’d never even heard of them before today.Nick:I don’t understand.Receptionist:Cheer up. Things can’t be as bad as they seem.Nick:No?Receptionist:Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me.Nick:Great. Thanks. She’s, uh, about as tall as you are. She’s got long black hair.She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met her here.She looked like an executive.Receptionist:And she’s got blue eyes?Nick:Yes! Do you know her?Receptionist:No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don’t know her at all.Unit 10 AT A GLANCEVideo 1Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I gel for you?Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie?Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?Nick : My life is a mess!

It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind making it louder?

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. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress.Nick : A wannabe actress?Patty: Oh yeah! 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 is clear... 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 RevealedVideo 1 ScriptTalia: I’m so glad I went to that class last night.

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 persuasive. So convincing. I’m so disappointed.I feel like such a fool.Amy:Look, Talia, you’re no fool. Don’t be so hard on yourself.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 story and become the top reporter at the station. Then I’d be your assistant, and you’d give me a raise. Talia: I’m so glad to hear you really care about me. Oh, I’m so depressed.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.

It basically says we’ll pay you $50,000 to endorse the shoes. Nick: She tricked me. She and her brother Dean. They wanted me out of the way. Dean is the next in line to 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.

I hope you don't believe those lies about me. Trust me, Coach. I have not let you down.Coach: Well, why don't you clear this whole thing up for 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 involved, too. They somehow made 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 i s a great player, but he’s always in my shadow. He wants you to kick me off the team so 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 wor king 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, buddy. Tough rap you’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 up that fake endorsement deal. That must have taken a lot of planning. I'm impressed. I didn't know you were that smart.Dean: 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 up quite a story there. In fact, it's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.Nick: I don't know how you pulled it off. How you made the tape. But I know it was you and your sister.Dean: 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.。

Er, I’m also a little bit involved in the sport of rowing. So, I’m down there quite a bit. I coach, actually coach rowing as well.W1: I have three children, and I work full-time. And I don’t have a lot of time to do any extra organized exercise.W2: Er, the main thing I do is I do practice yoga, that incorporates different positions as well as meditation, and different breathing techniques.M2: Usually, I ride my bike, like I got here. And I go to the gym more or less three to four times a week. And I also watch what I eat.W3: I dance, and I do yoga – and I just try to be as active as possible – enjoy nature also.M3: I try and walk everywhere because, um, I don’t really enjoy running.W4: I have quite a hectic lifestyle as a musician but I do try to keep fit – going to the gym, yoga classes, Pilates classes, er, sometimes running, and generally keeping active.W5: I’m a police officer, so I have quite an active job. Um, I can spend 8 or 12 hours doing footpatrol, um, walking round the streets of London so I suppose that keeps me quite fit.Part 3F: What other things would you like to do to keep fitM1: I’d love to get involved with some team sports. I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport.Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey.W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly. Er, it’s probably one of the only sports t hatI’m interested in; it’s something I would watch on TV.M2: I would like to run, but, er … my legs are, are not running legs, so I prefer to cycle.W3: I would like to learn to rock climb.M3: I would actually like to join a rowing club, er, but unfortu nately I don’t have time and it is alittle bit expensive.W4: I really enjoy getting out of London at the weekend and going sailing.W5: When I was at university, um, I got quite into swing dancing, which is very like jive, 1940sjazz dancing. Er, I’d quite like to take that up again since it’s an easy way of keeping fit, andyou meet a lot of people.Part 4F: Do you do anything that isn’t very healthyM1: Um, I have a bit of a sweet tooth.

Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see. So what you’re saying is …I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills.W: Yes.I: Are they healthier than other types of food Could they be the food of the futureW: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it.W: But I don’t think food pills will replac e normal food.I: Right. Why’s that For health reasons or social reasonsW: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pillsW: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about …W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an exampleW: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that tastes different for different people …W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it workW: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different areas of science …ViewingB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

So, I decided to give it a try.M: Good for you! I did my first triathlon back in college six years ago. Now, I do at least one triathlon every year. It keeps me fit and healthywith regular swimming, cycling, and running. So do you have a favorite of the three eventsW: Yes! Definitely running. I started running back in high school and loved it!

How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sad about the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action toimprove a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happierQ2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelingsQ4: What is the main idea of the passagePassage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep. Stress is the number one cause of short-term sleeping difficulties. Stressful situations include school- or job-related 1) pressures, and serious illness in the family. Usually the sleeping problems 2) disappear when the stressful situations pass. However, if short-term sleeping problems are not managed properly from the beginning, they can last long and thus 3) compromise goodhealth.Unhealthy habits may lead to sleeping problems too. Drinking coffee or 4) alcohol in the afternoon or evening, exercising close to bedtime, following an irregular morning and nighttime schedule, and working or doing other mentally 5) intense activities right before or after gettinginto bed can interrupt sleep. Traveling also 6) interferes with sleep, especially traveling across several time zones. This can 7) undermine your biological rhythms and cause sleep disorders such as trouble falling asleep and trouble remaining asleep.
