So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “O h well, it’s time for us, we should get going.” And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9 pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3 Inside view ABDBC BCABACActivity 2 Mark’s answers: 1 T 2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory? 2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

My top health tips are: Have a balaneed diet, stick to an appropriate exercise routine. go to bed early and get up early, meet family members and trie nds regularly for a good laugh, and take a holiday every few months. (Show a slide with five bullet points of these top health tips here.)As you know, a good t balanced diet is very important for your body to get sufficient nutrition so that you have energy to do your work and live healthily. When your diet is poor, it is easy for you to become ill. (Show some photos of the typical ingredients in a balaneed diet.)Its good advice to plan an appropriate exercise routine t which means the exercise you do should suit you well and shouldrTt be too much for you. However, you doneed to do it regularly and consistently. For example, you may do your fai chi exercises for half an hour every morning, take a walk every evening after dinner, go for a swim once or twice a week and play a basketball or badminton match once a week. If you do that, youll soon feel the ben efits. It will improve your strength and en dura nee, and help to correct bad posture. It also improves your mood and your concentration. You will also feel less stressed, and more con fide nt about yourself・ Of course, if you don't exercise, the opposite will happen. I remember there was one period when I could not follow my routine - I was short of time and had to finish my work. But I became very miserable and my work efficiency went down as well. When I realized what was happening. I forced myself to resume my routine and I became more energetic・More importantly, I was able to finish my work more quickly. (Show some photos of me doing exercise here.)Another point … This is easy to say, but quite hard to do … Go to bed early and get up early. Having enough sleep is important for your body to process and gain nutrition and energy and to repair itself for the next day. Without proper sleep it is very easy to become ill. no matter how young and strong you are. (Show a picture of some one asleep here.)Another important aspect of health is your mentalhealth• You have to remain happy and positive. So a good way to make this possible is to meet up with family members and friends to relax and enjoy yourself — go out with them, have a good dinner together sing karaoke or watch a good film or show. You know t last week I went out with my friends for a karaoke night. It was so good that I finished my presentation preparation more quickly than I had planned・(Show some photos of happy singing here.)Further, every now and then your body needs to rest completely and your m泊d needs to stop thinking about work. As the saying goes, "If you don't know how to rest, then you dorft know how to study." So going away for a holiday is a good idea to achieve this. You don't have to spend a lot of money for a holiday. Two months ago on a week© nd, I took a bicycle tnp with a group of trie nds. We took some tents for camping. It was not expensive at all and we had a wonderful time. (Show some camping photos.)In conclusion, we need to look after our body and mind if we want to keep ourselves healthy, happy and young. So I hope that everybody puts their health right at the top of their priority list. Enjoy your life and enjoy your study. Thank you for listening.

So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you d on’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “Oh well, it’s time for us, we should get going.”And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3Inside viewActivity 2Mark’s answers:1 T2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory?2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces leftbetween the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40 percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most between 9a.m. and early afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going strong until 1 or 2 ., so why break the momentum During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to photocopy a memo, or talkingto other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy level from dropping way down.When full alertness returns—around 4 .—you might do a few small projects that give you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize for the next day.The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.S tudent B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re tot ally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. Tha t’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result fromthe social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoid Ex2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such ascalculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game.

They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized.Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1.

They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hourseach way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。

Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.What kind of career would you like to follow after you graduate?2.What attracts you to that career?3.What factors are most important in a job for you?4.Which is more important to you: a job with a high salary or a job with low stress?5.What do your parents do? Would you like to follow in their footsteps? Why and why not?6.Why do some laid-off workers find it hard to get work?Demo1. What kind of career would you like to follow after you graduate?Well, I haven't decided yet. In my mind my career and my future jobs should have a close relationship with my major. That means, after graduation, I can apply what I have learned in college to my future jobs. I may choose a career that will benefit both society and my family, for example, a research job with a handsome pay. Or teaching might be a good choice for me too. In the future, no matter what career I may follow, I will do my best and my parents will be proud of me.3. What factors are most important in a job for you?Different people may have different preferences. Generally speaking, when we apply for a job, we have to first ask ourselves whether we really like the job or not. Or what jobs are suitable for us. Well, in our society today, people become more practical. Money is important in this high-cost society, so salary might be the first consideration to most people who need to support their families. Secondly, fixed working hours might be the second important factor, because most people want to relax on weekends and enjoy themselves.Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●I’d like to be a/an biologist/physician/surgeon musician/ artist/ diplomat/ photographer/interpreter/college professor/civil engineer/lawyer/programmer/ librarian / financial planner / real estate agent / social worker / accountant / architect /entrepreneur/ businessman, etc./●I can travel to a lot of interesting places if I work as a sales manager.●I like kids / teaching and that's why I want to become a school teacher.●Education / Science and technology / Social stability / International trade, etc., is of vitalimportance / essential to the development of our country, so I want to have a career in…●I admire scientists / doctors / teachers / businessmen, etc., so I want to be one of them.●I think I’m suitable for this job because I'm not afraid of / ready to face any challenges.

The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He'd had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred's job was to unpack the merchandise that had newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred's hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the manager's office, and he was sure he would be fired. The young man's spirits began to drop."I'll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for," the manager said sternly.“How much is the vase worth?” Fred asked.“$350.”A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. “That’s wonderful!” he shouted happily. “At last I have a steady job!”Language and Culture Notes1. Background information In present day Western society, the job market is very competitive. To get and, more importantly, to keep a good job, you have to have a university degree, experience in a particular field of work, necessary skills and training and readiness to upgrade your knowledge and skills. Even for low-pay jobs, in the text, the story of Fred, the clumsy young man, is just such a case. His job as a warehouse worker may well come to an abrupt end once the broken vase is paid for, leaving his dream of having a steady job to crumble.2. furnishings Articles of furniture and things such as curtains and carpets, and decorations such as pictures3. to deduct something from your wages every week To take away a part of your wages to pay for (the vase). Note the difference between "wages" and "salary". "Wages" are the money paid each week to an employee, usually for manual or unskilled work. The income of professional and office workers is usually paid monthly and is referred to as a "salary".4. A wide grin spread across the young man's face.

He works on some of the busiest motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three or four accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job.“We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. That’s the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.“Most accidents happen because people drive too fast---especially when the roads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don’t follow the rules. For example, I’ve seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking on the left. That’s illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go into the fast lane on the right.“Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.“I like my job. I have a varied working day---I never know what I’m going to do from o ne day to the next.

They were both laid off from their jobs last month. As the days go by, Jack and Betty are becoming more and more concerned about their future, since he hasn't been able to find another job yet, and neither has she.The layoffs weren't a surprise to them, though. After all, Jack's company hadn't been doingvery well for a long time, and neither had Betty's. However, they had never expected both of them to be laid off at the same time. Ever since they were laid off, Jack and Betty have been trying to find new jobs, but unfortunately, they haven't been successful.The main reason why they're having trouble finding work is that there simply aren't many jobs available right now. They can't find anything in the want ads, nor have they heard about any job openings.Another reason why they're having trouble finding work is that they don't seem to have the right kind of skills and training. Neither of them knows anything about computers. And neither has had any vocational training.A third reason is that there are certain jobs they prefer not to take. For example, Jack doesn't like working at night and Betty isn't willing to work on the weekends. And both of them hate to commute very far to work.Despite all their problems, Jack and Betty aren't completely discouraged. They don't have a very pessimistic outlook on life.

The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary money-making machine and finds out how it's changed the lives of countless millions of people who now inhabit "the World According to Google".And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey's university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.It's a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himself created the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you're trying to find out about, say, "Stonehenge", here's what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They're from companies who have picked "Stonehenge" as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for"Stonehenge" might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communication8-6 Role-playingNote them downNote them down-11) C2) B3) A4) B5) CNote them down-21) B2) A3) B4) B5) A6) B7) A8) A9) B10) A8-7 PresentingGet ideas1) Footballers,footballers2) Fire fighters,fire fighters,Firefighters,firefighters3) Doctors,doctors4) Teachers,teachersOrganize ideas1) B2) C3) A4) E5) D6) F1) doctor2) People need special and extensive training to become doctors.3) They relieve our pain, cure our diseases, and save our lives.4) Their work is indispensable to everyone and they cannot be replaced by anyone else.5) footballer6) Footballers' work is to entertain some people.7) It doesn't add any real value to society.8) They make money simply by playing – it's not real work and it's so easy.More practice in listening8-8 More practice in listeningConversationsShort conversations1.

Student A: I prefer to have friends who can share my joy and sadness. I'm a girl. Girls like to share their secrets with each other, because this can bring them closer. That's why I have far more female friends than male friends. I find it easier to share my feelings with my girl friends because I find they are sensitive to my feelings. I have only a few male friends and they seldom share their feelings with me. However, when I know they have a problem, I try to talk with them and share their feelings. Generally speaking, I think female friends are much closer and more emotionally attached while male friends enjoy doing activities together.Student B: As a boy, I may be different from you when I choose and treat a friend. Unlike you, I like to make friends with people who can share my life attitude. I believe friendship should be based on the compatibility of outlook. As long as we share the same outlook on life, I don't care if my friend is male or female. That's why I have approximately the same number of female friends and male friends. Of course, just as you treat your male friends and female friends differently, I also treat them in a different way. As a boy, I do many activities with my male friends but talk a lot with my female friends. I love my friends and I'm happy to help them, male or female. When a female friend has a personal problem, I'd be happy to help her make a decision as I do to my male friends. So in general, I think there is not much difference between male friendship and female friendship.1. His female friends look straight into his eyes, sensitive to his feelings, and listen to him with deliberate attention.2. Because he and his male friends don't talk much; instead, they show their friendship by what they do.3. They expressed their feelings in actions rather than in words.4.He realized how much he loved Jessica and what an irreplaceable friend she was.5. With women, he could be open, emotionally honest, and transparent while with men, he couldn't express his caring feelings no matter how deep the friendship was.6.In terms of nature, men and women are born with very different genetic tendencies. In terms of nurture, these genetic tendencies are further encouraged by society as either "masculine" or "feminine".7. Men tend to be more restrained with emotional expressions than women.8. Because he was assured that he was a "normal guy" and it was fine for him to treat his female friends and male friends in different ways.1. I usually don't choose a friend. They come to me. In the beginning, they may just be my schoolmates or colleagues. However, once we discover that we share some values or beliefs, we become friends. I value merits such as honesty, truthfulness, generosity, humor, faithfulness, and most important of all, willingness to help others. I expect my friends to have some of these virtues, if not all. This way I can learn from them and improve my own personal qualities.2.• Yes, they can be true friends as long as the older generation and the younger generation try their best to understand each other. For example, I am in my 20s, but I have made some good friends with people in their 50s or 60s. These older friends try their best to put themselves in the shoes of younger people, and they are more tolerant and considerate. For me, I respect them as they have much more experience and advice to offer. I'm also happy to provide my senior friends with novel ideas. They appreciate it a lot. That's how our friendship develops.• It is hard for people of different generations to become t rue friends. While they may share some hobbies or interests, they often don't have much for conversation due to different backgrounds and life experiences. Another problem is that they don't have the same circle of friends or peers. Most important of all, they may not share the same values and outlooks on life. Therefore, true friends are rare between generations with a big age gap.3.Men and women differ a lot in their behavior and communication styles. While their physical differences play a basic role, there are other factors which can cause such differences. The following are some examples:• They have different social images and roles;• They share different values of life; and• They have different emotional and rational processes.4.Men and women have different communication styles, and each style is advantageous in its own way. Women like to speak out how they feel. Their direct way of communication may help them start a friendship more easily. For women, communication is more efficient, especially in dealing with difficult situations. In comparison, men tend to say less but do more for their friends. It may take a longer time for men to make friends with others. But once they become friends, the friendship will be more stable because it is based on actions and mutual trust.5.Conflicts may occur even between good friends and we need to handle them strategically. First, I would think about the cause of the problem and seeif I have made any mistake on my part. Second, I would make a friendly gesture to my friend, such as making a phone call or sending an email to say hello or apologize. Third, if the cold war lasts, I would make a further friendly move in person, such as inviting my friend to have a cup of coffee or buying my friend a gift to show how much I care about him or her.There was a time when Whitney didn't have a lot of friends.

High school offers fundamental courses such as math, physics and English, whereas college offers more specialized courses, most of which are related to students' majors. In high school, all classes are arranged by the school, so students just follow a fixed schedule; in contrast, college students can choose the courses in which they are interested and arrange their own schedule, so their schedule is more flexible. Moreover, high school students acquire knowledge and skills mainly through teacher's instructions. In contrast, besides attending lectures, college students are expected to learn on their own, and develop critical thinking.作为世界上唯一一个真正具有普遍性的世界组织，联合国已经成为处理超越国界、而且任何一个国家都无法独立解决的问题的首要论坛。

So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “O h well, it’s time for us, we should get going.” And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9 pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a new children’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3 Inside view ABDBC BCABACActivity 2 Mark’s answer s: 1 T 2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory? 2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

Uint8II.

But I changed my idea when I learned those noisy girls will move out next term.Q: What is the rent for the girl’s dorm?III. Listening InTask 1:Living with RoommatesLiving with roommates in college dorms, one is likely to have problems as well as success.Some students report more unhappy relationships with their roommates than they do the opposite. One reason for this is that it’s human nature to pick out a person’s negative aspects more easily than to realize his or her positive ones. Living in a college dorm, you will certainly se both the strong points and shortcomings of your roommates. But you’ll be more likely to remember those unhappy moments between you and talk about them. You may often tend to tell war stories about someone who spilled their breakfast all over you, but seldom will you talk about the pleasant conversation you had with someone over breakfast. This selective memory does you no good at all! Therefore, if you want to enjoy better relationships with your roommates, you must work hard to view them as people and make yourse lf fully aware that they’re going to have some faults—and so are you!1.C2.A3.B4.D5.BTask 2:Interviewing a Rental AgentM: Hi. Are you Jane from the rental agency?W: Yes. Nice to meet you. I take it you’re Tim.M: Yeah. Well, I just started to look into moving off campus. It seems that all the good places are going fast.W: That’s right; you gotta be quick. Let me tell you a little about this apartment. It’s a one bedroom, one living room apartment, with a bathroom and a kitchen. The furnishings are all new. There are hardwood floors, these large windows in the front, and it tends to be a quiet neighborhood.M: And how about the transportation?W: Well, from the bus stop down the block you can always catch buses onto campus, or into the city.M: Ok. How about the rent?W: The rent is $300 per month.M: Is there a security deposit?W: Yes. You must first pay the security deposit, which is one month’s rent, and the last month’s rent. Then, normal monthly payment begins.M: And, would mind if I have a roommate?W: Of course not! Whatever you like.M: Well, the place looks good. I’ll definitely be in touch.W: Ok. Here’s my business card. Give me a call if you have any questions.1.He intends to move off campus.2.The apartment consists of a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. It is equippedwith hardwood floors and new furnishings, and is located in a quiet neighborhood.3.From the bus stop down the block people can always catch buses onto campus, or into thecity.4.It is $300 per month.5.He has to first pay the security deposit, which is one month’s rent, and the last month’s rent.Task 3: Off-campus ApartmentsIn many colleges and universities, the rapid increase in the number of resident students has made on-campus dormitories increasingly crowded. Thus even some of the least attractive off-campus apartments now seem to be in great demand. As a result, real estate owners tend to purchase as many properties as they can near college campus for the sole purpose of renting them out yo students. “College towns” have sprung up across the country where there are large numbers of houses filled with students tenants. To find an apartment that’s “right” for you, first determine exactly how much you can spend. Don’t waste your valuable time seeing apartments you can’t afford. Use newspaper classified ads, apartment guides and the Internet, to make a list of “candidates” in your price range and needs. First consider how much travel time you can afford each day. The next question: will you have a roommate to share the costs? Will you be able to afford the apartment if your partner moves out? Furthermore, be sure to consider the potential costs of utilities carefully. Sometimes utility costs are included in the rent. This arrangement often gives a clearer picture of monthly costs.resident dormitories apartments demand properties rent right spend afford roommate moves costsTask 4: Roommate Wanted20-year-old two 3-bedroom preferred responsible respectful north walking distance privateair conditioning high speed $275 utilitiesIV. Speaking OutModel 1 It’s all my fault.Now Your TurnProfessor: Everyone should be here by now. Where’re they?David: Well, there was a notice posted on the bulletin board, but maybe not everyone saw it. Professor: Did anyone put up a notice in the regular classroom?David: Well, I think nobody did.Professor: Really?David: I hate to say it, but I don’t think the rest of the class is coming.Professor: It’s all my fault. I should have told them all on the last class.Model 2 I didn’t do that.Now Your TurnElectrician: Wasn’t I just here several days ago for an electrical problem?Ashley: I guess you’re mistaken.Electrician: Oh man! Look w hat you’ve done! You can’t plug all these appliances into one socket.It’s too much overloaded!Ashley: I’m sorry, but I didn’t do that.Electrician: The truth is, you college kids never learn!Model 3 I’m afraid you’re rightNow Your TurnJames: Well, you see, when you get up, you always take a long shower—one hour sometimes. John:That’s not true! I do have a shower every morning, but I don’t think I spent that long. James: But when you use the bathroom, you always lock the door.John: I’m sorry. I just like my privacy.James: Well, the fact is that others need to use the toilet too. Do you think we should go downstairs to the gas station to use the public toilets?John: I’m afraid you’re right. I promise I’ll take a quick shower later, and keep th e door open.V. Let’s TalkJack: Hey, Anne, long time no see!Anne: Yeah, whatcha’ been doin’?Jack: Oh, not much, just hanging around my suite.Anne: Oh, you got a suite this year? I remember last year you were in a triple.

And now me and five other guys are in a suite.Anne: So it’s three rooms for two people each？Jack: Right. And how about you? Where are you living this year?Anne: I’m out in the Hillside Community, I really like it there. It’s a little further away from the Academic buildings, but it’s nice and quiet. You know, I’m not much of a partygoer. Jack: I know. Last year our crazy floor used to keep you up all night! Do you remember when the RA caught me with beer in my room? I had to do 15 hours of building service! Anne: That RA was so strict! In Hillside, since it’s mostly an older community, there are no regulations about alcohol. However, Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday after 1 a.m. are all “quiet hours”.Jack: Is it more expensive to live up there? Iknow the apartments are really nice.Anne: Yeah, a lot more. It’s about $2,000 a semester.Jack: Whoa. My room is just $1,400 for a year per person.For ReferenceaB,ask A why he/she wants to move out.Why?

It is conveniently located on campus, and provides comfortable, fully air-conditioned room for male and female students. As an integral part of the educational program, it is more than a place where students can eat and sleep; it is a living unit in the true sense of the term. Here students from all parts of the country and all corners of the world are assigned to room without regard to race, religion, color or national origin. They enjoy many opportunities to make new friends with all kinds of people and can also enjoy many voluntary educational, social, culture and recreational activities provided by the Residence Hall staff, in cooperation with the Residence Hall Council. The experience here will contribute as much to students’ development as will their coursework and study, and ultimately to the sound education needed for effective citizenship in the community.1. on campus air-conditioned room 3392. the educational program a living unit eat and sleep3. all parts of the country assigned to room national origin4. make new friends educational activities5. students’ development the sound education citizenshipTask 2: Arrangements for MovingGood morning, ladies and g entlemen. I’ve called this meeting to discuss our new campus which is opening fully next year. We plan to move our students to the new facilities in groups, so please listen carefully. They Agricultural Science students won’t move at all. As you know, th eir new facilities were opened last year, and they are well placed for both laboratory and classroom space. The Arts students, however, are a different case. History students are all moving, but unfortunately Their teachers will be left in the old build ing, as the new office accommodation isn’t yet ready. Better news for engineers. Your faculty, staff and students, are already in the process of moving to the new campus. The lab is already in operation. The move for the engineers should be completed next week. The old engineering building will be taken over by the Philosophy Department. The Faculty of Law has been moved downtown. This leaves vacant the premises previously occupied by the lawyers. The planning committee is accepting suggestions for the way school buildings could be used. So, if you have further doubts or questions, please let us know. Thank you.1. T2. F3. T4. T5.

So you’d wait until everyone is served before you eat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “O h well, it’s time for us, we should get going.” And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food during TV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9 pm. This was thought to be “over the top” by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usual ly a toy which is linked to a new children’sfilm. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3 Inside view ABDBC BCABACActivity 2 Mark’s answer s: 1 T 2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 T Activity 31 How much do you know about memory? 2 He’s got a pretty good memory. 3 He can’t remember a thin g when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

teacher says, you can keep a very general understanding of a topic …4 Before an exam, after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the very general understanding
