At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Passage OneChoosing your neighborhood is probably the most important step in finding a home. Your neighborhood partly determines your personal safety. It affects the education of your children and of the children around you. Your neighborhood affects the way you feel about your life, as well as your enjoyment of your home. Here are some tips for finding a neighborhood to live in. First, you should start by driving around the areas that you find inviting. You may want to start with areas near your home or near schools that you know are good, or that your children are attending. You may also start near the home of relatives or close friends. While driving, be sure to record the names of neighborhoods that attract you. Second, collect sales and rental information. If you are looking to buy a home, take a sales booklet from each home that provides one for the public. This will help you get an idea of what the neighborhood has to offer, and the price range of house. This will also help you avoid an area that you can't afford. If you are renting, write down phone numbers and call the owners. Last but not least, once you have narrowed down where you want to live and are at the point of making final decisions, drive through the neighborhoods at later hours. It's a good time to check out how safe the area is. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.Choosing a good neighborhood is very important because _____.A.you have to live there foreverB.you can't always live in the same placeC.it is about the education of your childrenD.it affects your health2.Where can you start if you want to research the area by driving?A.Near supermarkets.B.Near good schools.C.Near good restaurants.D.Near poor households.3.If you want to buy a house in the neighborhood, you should ____.A.ask your neighborsB.collect sales bookletsC.call your friendsD.collect rental information4.Why is it important to know the price range of house?A.Because you can avoid areas that you can't afford.B.Because you will be better prepared for settling down.C.Because you can borrow money as early as possible.D.Because you can know whether people living there are rich ornot.5.Before making your final decision, you should ____.A.call a real estate agentB.visit your future neighborsC.bring your family to the neighborhood and listen to theiropinionsD.drive through the neighborhood at later hoursPassage TwoOnce upon a time people knew and depended upon their neighbors. With speed and technology we have become ever more separated from each other. As income becomes limited, prices rise and some people lose their jobs, we can become less dependent on strangers and more dependent on neighbors and family. Maybe we can find more riches in creating a caring, pleasant community where we live. One way to do that is to stop by your neighbor's house to say hello or wish them a happy holiday. If a neighbor is aging, is a single parent or has lost a job, he or she may be too proud to ask for a hand. Maybe you can assist in some way. If you have extras, such as party gifts, books, handmade gifts, children's clothes, ask your neighbors if they might be interested. It's all done in the spirit of sharing, not charity. Your neighbors might even have offerings you'll appreciate in return at some point. If you are entertaining and know you have neighbors who are alone during the holidays, invite them to join you. Even if they don't come, they're likely to feel less lonely knowing someone cared to ask. Maybe the biggest gift we can give is the gift of ourselves. As people gather together to help each other, they grow stronger. Then wonderful friendships will be established, lives will be improved or even saved, and laughter will be born, if we reach out to our neighbors!Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.As prices rise and people lose their jobs, we can become more dependent on ____.A.the countryB.our neighborsC.the local governmentD.ourselves2.What is TRUE about a neighbor who is a single and jobless parent?A.He or she will ask others for help.B.He or she will stay at home.C.He or she will be too proud to ask for help.D.He or she will make no friends.3.You can share extras with your neighbors, such as ____.A.food leftoversB.yesterday's newspaperC.children's clothes/doc/243945cfe518964bce847c58.html ed cars4.What if a lonely neighbor refuses your invitation to a home party?A.You will feel humiliated.B.You will not become friends.C.He will certainly invite you next time.D.He will feel less lonely.5.The biggest gift we can offer is ____.A.the gift of ourselvesB.our childhood memoriesC.sharing everythingD.our secretsDirections: In this section, you will hear several sentences. Listen carefully and then repeat. Could you wrap it for me?How much does this cost?Could you weigh this for me?On weekends I usually go to the laundromat to do my laundry.I usually go shopping in the neighborhood after dinner.Directions: There is a short text shown on the computer screen (as is shown below). You are required to read the text aloud. Your voice will be recorded into the system. You'll have 1 minute for preparation and then you are required to begin reading when hearing the beginning signal sound and stop it when hearing the ending signal sound. Your reading should be limited within 1.5 minutes. Now you have 1 minute to prepare.My house is in a thick forest in Florida and we are experiencing a severe drought this year. Friday night my neighbor held a big party. I don't mind the loud music or rude guests. But they lit a fire deep in their backyard at the edge of the woods. I was scared and I called the fire department. They came and frankly must have been friends with half the party. When I asked them just as they pulled out, the fireman said he told them to put it out. Obviously they did nothing! The fire was not really put out. Today, at noon, the woods caught on fire behind my house. It took 25 men and two bush trucks six hours to put it out. Directions: Look at the picture below, which is about two neighbors. It seems the woman has helped the man with something and he is thanking her. You are required to play the man and deliver your thanks. Your presentation should consist of three parts: 1) what she has done for you;2) how it has helped you; 3) your expression of gratitude. You'll have 1 minute to prepare and another 2 minutes to complete your presentation. Now you have 1 minute to prepare. Directions: True or False.

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them toexplore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on yourdoor, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up andescaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。
