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

Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.”They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other‟s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.Dating DescriptionCausal dating Early teensSteady dating Late teensMany partners e.g. a dance, a game, a picnicDouble dating Two couplesGroup dating Large groupsGo out for a long period Intention to marryAdult dating Men and women.e.g.ski, work, dine together Casual dating system Those who hardly know each otherBlind dating Those who have never met beforeVI.

The father invites the fiancéto his study for a drink.“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.“I am a Bible student,” he replies.“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she‟s accustomed to?”“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father. “I will concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”“Don‟t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide.

Maybe it’s similar to sushi.Mom: No nsense. Tsunami comes from Japanese words meaning harbor and wave. If we had a tsunami it would be the other way around young man.Son: Why What is itMom: I mean it may swallow you up. A tsunami is an enormous series of very powerful waves.Son: Could you surf on them That could be cool.Mom: They’re not cool. They are very destructive. When they pound the shore of populated areas they cause tremendous damage. They destroy everything in their path.Son: What causes themMom: I think they are caused by some sort of shock like an earthquake volcano or landside that starts a chain reaction in the ocean.Son: Do the waves get to big that they crush buildingsMom: Easily. They can be dozens of meters high. They toss cars and houses around as though they were children’s toys.Son: Can you see them comingMom: You can see them at quite a distance. But there’s not much you can do. In the open ocean they move at up to 800km per hour but when it reaches the shore the system slows down and the waves get bigger.Son: How bigMom: They can reach 30 meters.

The U.S. Agen cy for International Development S2reports that at least1068 people are dead 1600 are S3 missing and25000 are in need of emergency food and other forms of S4assistance.In Dominican Republic 414 are dead and 274 are missing all from the townof Jimani.A keyS5 factor in the widespread destruction is the extensive deforestationand the S6presence of settlements along the floodplains of rivers.The flooding was driven by intense rainfall. A low-pressure system S7originating in Central America brought exceptionally heavy rain andthunderstorms to Haiti and the Dominican Republic from May 18 t o25. S8Rainfall exceeded 500 mm or 19.7 inches along the border areas of Haitiand the Dominican Republic during that period. At the town of JimaniDominican Republic 250mm or 10 inches of rain fell in just 24 hourscausing the Solie River to overflow its banks from May24 to 25.The heavyrainfall resulted in flash flooding and extensive debris flowed over the entireregion. Swollen rivers and debris cut off many of the roads traversing the area alongthe base of the mountains. S9 This made it difficult for humanitarian reliefworker to rescue stranded people and deliver badly. Now people want toknow: How often do floods and related landmass movement also causedlandsides in a few places. S10Analysis of the past date shows that major floods in the DominicanRepublic and Haiti are now a near-annual event. Since 1986 twelve lethalevents have occurred on the island.Task3: A BlizzardScriptA blizzard is a sever weather condition characterized by low temperaturesand strong winds greater than 15 miles per hour bearing a great amountof snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex there aremany different definitions of what a blizzard truly is. But it is generallyagreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard as opposed to merelya winter storm the weather must meet several conditions. The storm mustdecrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running. Includesnow or ice as precipitation and have wind speed of at least 32 miles perhour which means Force 7 or more on the Wind Scale.Another standard according to Environment Canada is that the winterstorm must have winds of 40 kilometers per hour or miore plenty of snowvisibility less than 1 kilometer a temperature of less than -25 degreesCelsius and all of these conditions must last for 4 hours or more beforethe storm can properly be called a blizzard.When all these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling the storm isreferred t o as a ground blizzard.An extensive form of blizzard is a whiteout when the downdrafts togetherwith snowfall become so sever that it is impossible to distinguish theground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly becomedisoriented losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense ofdirection. Severe blizzard can also occur along with arctic cyclones.11.

It’s too much. Things are a bitout of balance.Susan: Yeah too much rain here too little there. Last summer firestorms destroyed many parts of the globe.John: Firestorms are a pretty interesting phenomenon. They generate so much heat that they create their own weather. Nothing you can do about it.Susan: Once a fire developed into a firestorm there’s no stopping it. Some people think we shouldn’ttry.John: You mean just let the forests burn How can we watch people’s homes on fire with folded armsSusan: Some experts argue that forest fires are part of nature and that we shouldn’t try to interfere except of course to save homes and lives.John: It seems wrong to let all good timber burn. What a waste that wouldbeSusan: But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris that collects on the forest floor and creating new kind of growth.John: Maybe so but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn.Susan: After all there have been verdant forests for millions of years with out man’s help fighting the fires.John: That may be true but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forestfiresMODEL3 This is the island that disappearedScriptSusan: Just look at that sky. Aren’t the twilight colors beautifulJohn: Um. Even heard of the famous sunsets that followed the Krakatoa volcano eruptionSusan: Do you mean the Pacific island that blew up in the eighteenhundredsJohn: Yeah. Deep red sunsets appeared on the horizon for the three years after the explosion.Susan: They were caused by the fine dust that spread through theearth’satmosphere.John: People 5000 kilometers away from Krakatoa reported hearing the enormous blast.Susan: And ashes even fell on Singapore more than 500 kilometers to thenorth.John: As I remember two thirds of the island simply disappeared blownto bits.Susan: And then giant sea waves followed killing more than 40000 people who livedthere.John: Apparently the biggest of those waves traveled 4000 kilometers in just 12hours.Susan: I don’t think there’s ever been another natur al disaster quite likeit do youJohn: A mountain called Vesuvius erupted burying the nearby town of Pompeii inashes but that was in a smaller scale.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGJosh: Maggie I’ve just read a fire destroyed much of the forest on Day Mounta in in Hong Kong the other day.Maggie: I’ve heard that too. The local government sent firefighters and even helicopters to try to put out the fire. But I think they shouldn’t have tried.Josh: You mean they should just let the forests burn How can they stand by and watch people’s homes go up in flamesMaggie: Some experts argue that forest fires are a phase in the cycle of nature and we shouldn’t interfere. Except of course to save lives.Josh: It seems wrong to allow fires to burn up good timber. What a waste that would be You see the fire-hit area extends nearly 400 square meters.Maggie: But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris that collects on the forest floor and creating space for new growth.Josh: That may be true but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn. They destroyed not only timber but many rare butterflies living thereMaggie: Anyway there have been verdant forests for millions of years without man’s help in combatingfires.Josh: You may be correct but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forest fires. If too many trees are destroyed the very existence of human beings is threatenedV. Let’s TalkScriptA natural disaster is the consequence of a hazardous event occurring whenhuman activities are affected by adverse natural phenomena such as flooddrought hailstorm heat wave forest fore hurricanes or typhoonstornado tsunami landsides and mudslides or volcanic eruption. Theresulting deaths or property damages depend on the human ability to resistthe disasters.Sometimes two seemingly different disasters may berelated to each other.For example an undersea earthquake may result in a tsunami. While thereis a long dry spell in one area there may be a great flood in another.It is necessary for human beings to understand and combat naturaldisasters.A drought is a long-lasting weather pattern consisting of dry conditionswith very little or no precipitation. During this period food and watersupplies can run low and other condition such as famine can result.Drought can last for several years and are particularly damaging in areasin which the residents depend on agriculture for survival.A flood follows too much rain or water in a location and could be theresult of many different conditions. Floods can be caused by heavyrainfall from a storm including thunderstorms rapid melting of a largeamounts of snow or rivers which swell from too much precipitation upstreamcausing widespread damage to areas downstream. Another possible cause ofa flood is the bursting ofman-made dams.

Since the company was composed entirely of men over 65, there was doubt that they would be of any assistance.But the farmer called the company anyway because the fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, and there was no other help available2. The truck drove straight toward the fire and, instead of stopping in front of the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames.3. After an hour of intense fighting, they had extinguished the fire.4. He presented the volunteer fire company with a check for $10,000.5.

Could you tell us the secrets of your successful career? Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is "location, location, location", the golden rule of work is "relationships, relationships, relationships". Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat them with respect.Lillian: Could you give me more details?Baxter: Let's take Wendy as an example. She switched jobsseveral months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff's expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain. Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time? Although the financial department's offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visited them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company's chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. Thus the two forged a long-term alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company's offices inGermanyandJapan. Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it's far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Unit 4 let’s tallk 1Ayesha: In the newsroom you have about 16 reporters. The news reporters sit in one part of the room, and you have features on the other side of the room. I'm just going to see Kev, he's my news editor and he's gonna do a brief, basically brief me on a story that's happening later on. When I walk into my newsroom I don't know what to expect. You start at eight but you don't know how long that's gonna go on for. Hello. Kevin: Hi Ayesha. So we're really looking for a featurey sort of piece for tomorrow's paper.Ayesha: FrenchayHospital, which is one of our hospitals inBristol. They're celebrating their 10 years of this head injury unit, and we've been invited up. We're gonna obviously cover and take pictures, and I'm gonna get to speak to people. So he was really giving me guidelines.Kevin: You know when you're doing your interviews, speak to people in some detail about, you know, how they were injured in the first place, but then the treatment they've gone through. OK?Ayesha: Yeah. Excellent! Thank you!Well, I've just started writing up for my next, and just basically from the day. I've got to get something through, I think, by about four. Sometimes I come back and I've got so much going on in my hands. So I'm just trying to, sort of, just work it through. Deadlines are very stressful. But you have to meet them because it's important; it's part of what newspaper journalism is all about. You get used to it by getting the guidance, managing your time, but it's still scary. OK. It's all done. OK. This is theBristolfinal. If I have a look at page 14, there we are, and that's my story.

The new CEO did it, and the company quickly rebounded.The message said, "Prepare three envelopes." It implied that it was time for Carl to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.Unit 4 viewing and speaking task 1You don't come into journalism for the money. When you start, you're sort of earning, I think, about 150 to 180 pounds a week, which really isn't very much to live on. But then as you move up, you get more, so you're looking to get14,000 ayear, 15,000,16,000 ayear. And you know you're working really long hours, and it's hard work.OK thanks, bye.Waiting for phone calls and waiting for people to get back to you is really frustrating. Like today I had other things to keep me going and I was doing other things, but you know I've gotthis thing over my head because I know I've got to get this quote and I've got to keep chasing it and then while you're working on other stories whether they're bigger or smaller ones you know. It's very frustrating because you just want to get this done and out of the way, but it just doesn't happen.Journalism is just a, is a great career to go into because (there's) so much you can do. So you can stay in newspapers, you can go into radio, television—there's just so much out there, and I guess at the stage where I am—sort of just starting out, just really looking at what there is and what I will enjoy doing more.In 10 years I think I'd like to be an editor of a section of a national paper either here or abroad, 20 years, launching my own paper.Journalism is just fantastic because you don't know what's happening on a day-to-day basis. You meet so many different people and it just puts you in such a privileged position. And I just love it. I just think it's great.Unit 4TestP1D D A D DP2expensive ,declined ,averaged ,compared ,agency ,floor ,acc ommodation.But the biggest climber of all was Dublin,with the Irish capital jump nineplaces to the tenth among the world’s most expensive office location.Globally,most office locations continued to register declines in occupancycostslastyear,reflectstheweakanduncertainglobaleconomyenvironment.In Euro terms,London is some 17 perce cheaper than last year,but in dolterms it is virtually unchanged.P3D C A D BP4A B D C A D D C C DUnit 5Lead in > Task 1There are no definite answers for the question.

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

For me, love is the most important V. Let‟s TalkDatingBefore marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.”They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other‟s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.Dating DescriptionCausal dating Early teensSteady dating Late teensMany partners e.g. a dance, a game, a picnicDouble dating Two couplesGroup dating Large groupsGo out for a long period Intention to marryAdult dating Men and women.e.g.ski, work, dine together Casual dating system Those who hardly know each otherBlind dating Those who have never met beforeVI.

Get out and dance with someone like that babe over there.Peter: No way, Keith! She‟s the intellectual type. My pickup line just won‟t work with her. Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.Keith: Times are changing, and you‟ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids. Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can‟t believe my ears. You‟ll never find a wife.1.B2.D3.C4.ATask 2: He thinks I‟m God.A young woman brings home her fiancéto meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man‟s plans. The father invites the fiancéto his study for a drink.“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.“I am a Bible student,” he replies.“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she‟s accustomed to?”“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father. “I will concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”“Don‟t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, honey?”The father answers, “He had no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I‟m God.”1.F2.T3.F4.T5.TTask 3: LadyLady, I‟m your knight in shining armor and I love you.You have made me what I am and I am yours.My love, there‟s so many ways I want to say I love you.Let me hold you in my arms forever more.You have gone and made me such a fool;I‟m so lost in your love.And on, we belong together.Won‟t you believe in my song?Lady, for so many years I thought I‟d never find you.You have some into my life and made me whole.Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning.Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.In my eyes I see no one else but you.There‟s no other love like our love.And yes, oh yes, I‟ll always want you near me.I‟ve wanted for you so long.Lady, your love‟s the only love I needAnd beside me is where I want you to be.…Cause, my love, there‟s something I want you to know,You‟re the love of my life, you‟re my lady.SpeakingMutual LoveJill: You know, Robert, we‟ve been dating a long time now.Robert: Yeah.

Let’s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters’ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1. Good Morning to All2.。

Why, have you any requires?Son: How about tsunami for a change—I don’t know what is, but I heard some Japanese people using the word on the bus the other day. Sounds like a food. Maybe it’s similar to sushi.Mom:Nonsense. Tsunami comes from Japanese words meaning harbor and wave.If we ha d a tsunami, it would be the other way around, young man. Son: Why? W hat is it?Mom:I mean it may swallow you up. A tsunami is an enormous series of very powerful waves.Son: Could you surf on them? That could be cool.Mom: They’re not cool. They are very destructive. When they pound the shore of populated areas, they cause tremendous damage. They destroy everything in their path.Son: What causes them?Mom: I think they are caused by some sort of shock, like an earthquake, volcano, or landside that starts a chain reaction in the ocean. Son: Do the waves get to big that they crush buildings?Mom: Easily. They can be dozens of meters high. They toss cars and houses around as though they were children’s toys.Son: Can you see them coming?Mom: You can see them at quite a distance. But there’s not much you can do. In the open ocean they move at up to 800km per hour, but when it reaches the shore, the system slows down and the waves get bigger. Son: How big?Mom:They can reach 30 meters. Big enough to finish you off in one gulp.11. What the son think a tsunami is?12. What does Mom imply by saying, “If we had a tsunami, it would be the otherway around”?13.

Task 2: Flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic ScriptTh e death too continues to (S1) climb from last week’s flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The U.S. Agency for International Development (S2) reports that a t least1,068 people are dead, 1,600 are (S3) missing, and 25,000 are in need of emergency food and other forms of (S4)assistance.In Dominican Republic, 414 are dead and 274 are missing, all from the town of Jimani.A key(S5) factor in the widespread destruction is the extensive deforestation and the (S6) presence of settlements along the floodplains of rivers. The flooding was driven by intense rainfall. A low-pressure system (S7) originating in Central America brought exceptionally heavy rain and thunderstorms to Haiti and the Dominican Republic from May 18 t o25. (S8) Rainfall exceeded 500 mm (or 19.7 inches) along the border areas of Haiti and the Dominican Republic during that period. At the town of Jimani, Dominican Republic, 250mm (or 10 inches) of rain fell in just 24 hou rs, causing the Solie River to overflow its banks from May24 to 25.The heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding and extensive debris flowed over the entire region. Swollen rivers and debris cut off many of the roads traversing the area along the base of the mountains.(S9) This made it difficult for humanitarian relief worker to rescue stranded people and deliver badly. Now people want to know: How often do floods and related landmass movement also caused landsides in a few places.(S10)Analysis of the past date shows that major floods in the Dominican Republic and Haiti are now a near-annual event. Since 1986, twelve lethal events have occurred on the island.Task3: A BlizzardScriptA blizzard is a sever weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds, greater than 15 miles per hour, bearing a great amount of snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many different definitions of what a blizzard truly is. But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weather must meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running. I nclude snow or ice as precipitation, and have wind speed of at least 32 miles per hour, which means Force 7 or more on the Wind Scale.Another standard, according to Environment Canada, is that the winter storm must have winds of 40 kilometers per hour or mi=ore, plenty of snow, visibility less than 1 kilometer, a temperature of less than -25 degrees Celsius, and all of these conditions must last for 4 hours or more, before the storm can properly be called a blizzard.When all these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred t o as a ground blizzard.An extensive form of blizzard is a whiteout, when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, become so sever that it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzard can also occur along with arctic cyclones.11. What is the passage mainly about?12. Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the firststandard?13. Which of the following is true of a blizzard according to the secondstandard?14. What is a ground blizzard?5. Which of the following is in the order of increasing force?Keys: 1A 2.B3. C 4.D 5.CFor ReferenceThey can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 It was a strong earthquakeAmy:Bill, it was a strong earthquake! The house was shaking, the window breaking! Terrible.Bill:I know, it was terrible. I saw your face turn whit as you ran and got under the table.Amy:I admit I panicked. But it wasn’t an occasion for us to be careless.It’s better to be cautious. There might be aftershocks.Bill:Or an even bigger quake!Amy: To play it safe, let’s turn off the gas and electricity.Bill:Right. Let’s get the emergency earthquake kit already. It’s in the kitchen. It has food, flashlights, and a first-aid kit.Amy:Let’s turn on the radio for news. I guess the quake measures at least5 on the Richter Scale.Bill:Who know what might happen tomorrow, next month or next year? After all, this city is said to be located in an earthquake zoneAmy:There hasn’t been much activity for dozens of yearsBill: But a major quake may hit at any time.Amy:I think we’d better move to an earthquake-proof house.Bill:Smart thinking!MODEL2 Things are a bit out of balance.ScriptJohn:The seventh straight day of rain. It’s too much. Things are a bit out of balance.Susan:Yeah, too much rain here, too little there. Last summer firestorms destroyed many parts of the globe.John: Firestorms are a pretty interesting phenomenon. They generate so much heat that they create their own weather. Nothing you can do about it.Susan: Once a fire developed into a firestorm, there’s no stopping it.Some people think we should n’t try.John: You mean, just let the forests burn? How can we watch people’s homes on fire with folded arms?Susan: Some experts argue that forest fires are part of nature, and that we shouldn’t try to interfere, except, of course, to save homes and lives.John: It seems wrong to let all good timber burn. What a waste that would be!Susan:But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris that collects on the forest floor and creating new kind of growth.John: Maybe so, but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn. Susan:After all, there have been verdant forests for millions of years without man’s help fighting the fires.John: That may be true, but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forest firesMODEL3 This is the island that disappeared ScriptSusan: Just look at that sky. Aren’t the twilight colors beautiful? John: Um. Even heard of the famous sunsets that followed the Krakatoa volcano eruption?Susan: Do you mean the Pacific island that blew up in the eighteen hundreds?John: Yeah. Deep red sunsets appeared on the horizon for the three yearsa fter the explosion.Susan: They were caused by the fine dust that spread through the earth’s atmosphere.John: People 5,000 kilometers away from Krakatoa reported hearing the enormous blast.Susan: And ashes even fell on Singapore, more than 500 kilometers to the north.John: As I remember, two thirds of the island simply disappeared, blown to bits.Susan: And then giant sea waves followed,killing more than 40,000 people who lived there.John:Apparently the biggest of those waves traveled 4,000 kilometers in just 12 hours.Susan: I don’t think there’s ever been another natural disaster quite like it, do you?John: A mountain called Vesuvius erupted, burying the nearby town of Pompeii in ashes; but that was in a smaller scale.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGJosh: Maggie, I’ve just read a fire destroyed much of the forest on Day Mountain in Hong Kong the other day.Maggie: I’ve heard that too. The local government sent firefighters and even helicopters to try to put out the fire. But I think they shouldn’thave tried.Josh: You mean, they should just let the forests burn? How can they stand by and watch people’s homes go up in flames?Maggie: Some experts argue that forest fires are a phase in the cycle of nature, and we shouldn’t interfere. Except, of course, to save lives.Josh: It seems wrong to allow fires to burn up good timber. What a waste that would be! You see,the fire-hit area extends nearly 4,00 square meters.Maggie: But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris that collects on the forest floor and creating space for new growth.Josh: That may be true, but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn.They destroyed not only timber, but many rare butterflies living there Maggie:Anyway, there have been verdant forests for millions of years without man’s help in combating fires.Josh: You may be correct,but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forest fires. If too many trees are destroyed, the very existence of human beings is threatenedV. Let’s TalkScriptA natural disaster is the consequence of a hazardous event, occurring when human activities are affected by adverse natural phenomena such as flood, drought, hailstorm, heat wave, forest fore, hurricanes or typhoons, tornado, tsunami, landsides and mudslides, or volcanic eruption. The resulting deaths or property damages depend on the human ability to resist the disasters.Sometimes two seemingly different disasters may be related to each other. For example, an undersea earthquake may result in a tsunami. While there is a long dry spell in one area, there may be a great flood in another. It is necessary for human beings to understand and combat natural disasters.A drought is a long-lasting weather pattern consisting of dry conditions with very little or no precipitation. During this period, food and water supplies can run low, and other condition, such as famine, can result. Drought can last for several years and are particularly damaging in areas in which the residents depend on agriculture for survival.A flood follows too much rain or water in a location, and could be the result of many different conditions. Floods can be caused by heavy rainfall from a storm, including thunderstorms, rapid melting of a large amounts of snow, or rivers which swell from too much precipitation upstream, causing widespread damage to areas down stream. Another possible cause of a flood is the bursting of man-made dams.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Description of a TsunamiScriptA strange hissing noise filled the air, said witnesses to the disaster, and that was followed by an ear-shattering roar. Racing toward the shore at speed of 450 kilometers per hour was a vast black wall of water more than 20 meters high.For sunbathers on the beaches and diners at outdoor beachfront cafes there was no escape. Along with fishing boats, automobiles, trams, trains, early-morning shoppers and beach bungalows they were smashed to the ground and swept as far as two kilometers inland by the force of the tsunami that came after a force 9 earthquake deep under the sea off the coast of Sumatra. Many local residents, including numerous children, rushed onto the beach to pick up fish thrown ashore by the first giant wave. Before they could return to safety, a second powerful wave struck and swept them to their deaths at sea.When the worst of the waters finally retreated back into the ocean, bodies lay everywhere, and many hung from trees. At least 140,000 people died in the flooding around the rim of the Indian Ocean and as far away as Kenya and Somalia. Still missing are more than a thousand people, among then 200 Indonesian fishmen.Hundreds of fishing village in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand are cut off from supplies of clean water, food and medicines. Relief efforts from across the globe are rushing towards the disaster area. Whether they will be able to prevent further deaths from disease remain to be seen.8. What happened after shoppers were smashed to the ground?9. According to the passage, what happened after the first giant wave?10. How many people are missing in the disaster?11.

The water level at some dams have dropped below 20% while the ground water table has dropped by as much s 30 metersEmergency measure have been introduced ensure that millions of people have enough water to survive. In rural areas without dams, the government has to send water by truck an d sink new, deeper wells to provide drinking water. Tanked water is provided about 3.5 million South Africans. People here normally use barely 30 liters a day, and is impossible to further limit their usage. That is why agricultural use has to be restricted.More than 100,000 farm workers might lose their jobs if it does not rain soon. Water restrictions, which have a negative influence on the agricultural sector in particular, have already been imposed in several districts. Farmers have been forced to stop irrigating their crops to ensure that enough water is available for domestic use. Maize f ar mers in the eastern parts of the country have almost no hope of planting their crop in time. They need rain within the next two weeks to be able to start planting. Where farmers did sow, the seedlings have been scorched under the sun.An estimated 40,000 head of livestock have died because of the dry spell. Thousands of stock farmers will have to slaughter their livestock on a large scale because there is no grass left.The parts suffering the most were rural areas without dams. If it does not rain, the people there will face a huge crisis.K eys: FFTFTTask3: Brave firemenScriptA fire started on some grassland near a farm in Alberta, Canada. The fire department from the nearby town was called to put the fire out. The fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, so someone suggested that a rural volunteer fire company be called. Since the company was composed entirely of men over65, there was doubt that they would be of assistance. But with no other help available, the farmer called the fire company away.The volunteer fire company’s men arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. The truck drove straight toward the fire and, instead of stopping in front of the fire, drove right onto the middle of the flames. The volunteer firemen jumped off the truck and started spraying water in all directions. Soon they ha d put out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily controllable parts. After an hour of intense fighting, they had extinguished the fire.The farmer was impressed by the brave volunteer firemen and their work. He was so grateful that his farm had been spared that he presented the volunteer company wit ha check for $10,000.A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the company planned to do with the funds. The fireman looked him right in the eye and said, “That should be obvious. The first thing we’re going to do is to get the brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck.”For Reference1. Since the company was composed entirely of men over65, there was doubtthat they would be of assistance. But the farmer called the fire company away b ecause the fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, and there was no other help available.2. The truck drove straight toward the fire and, instead of stopping infront of the fire, drove right onto the middle of the flames.3. After an hour of intense fighting, they had extinguished the fire.4. He presented the volunteer company wit ha check for $10,000.The captain said, “The first thing we’re going to do is to get the brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck.”That suggests that they drove right into the middle of the flames because of useless brakes rather bravery.ChNews ReportAustralian WaterspoutScriptA big twister struck the Sydney to Hobart yacht race late on Wednesday, nearly knocking out the team highly favored to win, Nicorette. Disaster struck the Swedish maxi yacht off the east coast of Australia, tearing its mainsail and nearly carrying away skipper Ludde Ingvall. When asked about his encounter with the waterspout, Ingvall described the experience as “surreal”.Ingvall, a seasoned sailor, said that he’s seen twisters before but had always managed to avoid them. This one, however, seemed to be following them and they had no choice but to go right through the middle of it. The encounter with the twister forced Nicorette to drop into fifteenth place overnight.Crew member valiantly battled extreme weather while attempting to keep the yacht o course.Skipper Ingvall reported that the team was now in sixth place and making up ground with the use of its backup mainsail.Nicorette managed to get back on track on Thursday, closing the gap on team Illbruck of Germany, the current leader.This footage from video taken aboard the Nicorette shows the terrible conditions they experienced as they struggled to stay in the race.It took real teamwork to get the unlucky yacht back into this position. Even under these harshest of conditions, the Nicorette team managed to work together to make a miraculous recovery.But the team has a history of successful teamwork.Last year, Nicorette achieved the second-fastest line honors victory in the 57-year history of the 630 nautical mile Sydney to Hobart race. The only yacht to surpass Nicorette’s time was the 60-foot Danish Nokia, setting the record of 1day, 19 hours, 48 minutes, and 2 seconds in 1999. Earlier on Thursday, 8 of the 75 entrants dropped out of the race after a night of thunderstorm activity and winds of up to 30 knots.Team Illbruck is the overall winner so far after two legs o the race, but there is still more race to go.Boat are currently en route to Auckland, New Zealand as they begin the third leg of the around the world race.Nicorette still has a chance to finish in one of the top spots despite the incredible obstacle that almost stopped them.。
