We can use telephone to make or break social engagements, to do our shopping and ordering, and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones can save our feet and endless amounts of time. But giving and receiving phone calls requires quick responses, and it is very important to get exact information from calls. To avoid misunderstandings, we should pay close attention to things like telephone numbers, times, dates, addresses, etc.*to make or break social engagements: 预订或取消社会活动*to do our shopping and ordering：购物或下订单*save our feet and endless amounts of time：省去很多脚力和时间*quick responses：快速应对A. The following words and phrases will appear in this unit. All of them are related to the telephone and some are frequently used when giving and receiving phone calls. Listen carefully and study the definitions.1.disconnected: 停机2.an unpublished number: 非公开号码3.answering machine: 电话答录机4.put through: 接通（电话）5.extension: 分机6.switchboard: 总机7.calculator: 计算器（有些计算器带储存电话号码的功能）8.telephone directory: 电话号码簿9.operator: 接线员10.hang up: 挂机rmation: 问询台12.exchange: 电话局B.

Woman: Don’t _____. A fire ______ will be there in _____ minutes.7. Woman: Someone’s stolen my _____. Girl: Where are you calling _____?Woman: The Newton ______. Girl: The _______ will soon be there.Part II Giving and receiving phone callsMost of the time, when you dial a telephone number, your call goes through with no problem. Sometimes, however, you are not able to get through and the reason is given by a recorded message.*dial a telephone number: 拨打一个电话号码*a recorded message: 电话录音A. You are going to hear some recordings that the telephone company uses to tell you why your call did not go through. Listen carefully and write down all the telephone numbers you hear and the reasons why the calls did not go through.Sometimes even when a telephone call goes through, the caller is still unable to speak to the person being called. Instead, the call might be answered by a machine. An answering machine answers calls with a tape recording, and many answering machines also allow the caller to record a message. It’s more efficient to leave your name and telephone number than to waste your time calling again and again.*a tape recording: 主人预录在电话答录机上的话*to record a message: 客人在电话答录机上留言B. . You are going to hear several calls that are answered by machines. Listen to the recorded messages. Write down the reasons why each call is being answered by a machine instead of a person and the actions you decide to take. Write “W” for “wait on the line”, “L” for “leave a message”, and “C” for “call back later”.People usually receive telephone calls unexpectedly. Sometimes they have to make a note of the information contained in the call — particularly when the call is for someone else. Message taking is one of the most useful skills in dealing with telephone calls. A great deal of practice is needed in this respect.*message taking: 信息记录C1. You are going to hear some recorded phone calls. While listening for the first time, add more key words if you can in the left-hand column. After the second listening,complete the messages in the right-hand column with the help of the notes.。

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.It’s 3:15 in the afternoon and half the office just stepped out* for a coffee break. Your eyelids are starting to close and 7-11* is just around the corner. A soda or a bag of chips would be just the thing to perk you up*. So you, too, go out for an afternoon snack.Sometimes we eat simply because everyone else is doing it. Other times we eat when we feel tired, bored or depressed. Snack ing for the wrong reasons can lead to overeating and an unhealthy diet.Of course, there are times when our bodies really need extra energy. Here are four tips to keep your snacking on the right track.1. Know why you’re eating. Using food to change your feeling s can be a dangeroushabit. An order of French fries might distract* you from feeling sad for a while, but it’s only a temporary cure. Once the fries are gone, the problem is still there. If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Call a friend. If you’re feeling stressed, take a 10-minute walk.2. Find a healthy pick-me-up*. If you’re truly hungry, a healthy snack can give you theboost of energy you need. If you like fresh foods, bring a small bag of tomatoes or apple slices to work with you. To tame your sweet tooth, try a handful of dried fruit. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick-me-up. They have the right combination of nutrients to give you the energy you need. But wait until you’re hungry to find something to eat. Plan ahead and bring something healthy with you.3. Eat just one serving. Don’t open up a whole box of crackers and st art munching*away. Instead, pull out just one serving and put away the box.4. Think of snacks as mini-meals. Eating small, healthy snacks can keep you fromstuffing yourself at the next meal. Instead of eating three big meals each day, split them into four or five mini-meals. You may actually eat less food overall.Use these tips to help you plan snacks ahead of time.

You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.How long can anyone live in Germany without a purchase of either a cold stein* of beer or a clock? It didn’t take long for the beer, but my search for just the right clock took a few years.In my search I found a cuckoo clock*, an old French Tic-Tac clock, and a gold time piece giving the precise time anywhere in the world. Then came the grandmother clock with the lovely crystal panes* — but still no chiming grandfather clock.Suddenly I received a phone call from a friend. She knew a man whose mother had to move out of her home and the furniture was being sold. She asked whether I was interested ina very old clock?I made the trip into the countryside and found a small German home with lovely flowergardens.The family greeted me as a long-lost friend. We had coffee and apple cakes and then we headed for the attic.I knew the minute I saw him — the old grandfather. Surely he would be expensive! I said,“Yes!”We returned to our coffee and I asked the big question. “How much?”I paid 45 German Marks in cash, one large can of peaches, a pound of coffee, and a boxof Lipton Tea.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageTips on Healthy Eating and Physical ActivityScriptA. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy-to-prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt* with fruit, whole-grain waffles* or even last night’s pizza!It’s easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends.Take a 10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV.Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups — a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham* crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins*, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.Vigorous work-outs* —when you’re breathing hard and sweating —help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel best. Start with a warm-up that stretches your muscles. Include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such as running, jogging, or dancing. Follow up with activities that help make you stronger such as push-ups or lifting weights. Then cool down with more stretching and deep breathing.Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.You don’t hav e to give up foods like hamburgers, French fries and ice cream to eat healthy. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein*, carbohydrates*, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium* from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid* and checking out the Nutrition Facts Panel* on food labels will help you get all these nutrients.Eat more grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels* and pita*. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.Bananas, strawberries and melons are some great tasting fruits. Try vegetables raw, on a sandwich or salad.A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part —or food —isdifferent. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni* pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don’t forget about moderatio n. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, you don’t need a third.Questions:1. Which of the following is not included in easy-to-prepare breakfasts?2.

Although the tuition is much higher than at other colleges, students like Candy, from Anhui Province, say the cost is worth it.“My father said it was o kay for me to study this if I can be trained in all sorts of skills and find a job afterwards, and if I can develop my career in a hotel in a big city.”The school was established by private investors in 2008 and is graduating its first class this year. The students are taught English and all aspects of hospitality management, including special training in Chinese culture. James, a third-year student from Guizhou Province, relishes* the chance to share his culture.“Maybe tea is the best topic to talk with them — you are introducing tea and how to drink tea, and as foreigners, they will feel it’s very exciting.”China is a manufacturing powerhouse*, with a seemingly unlimited supply of labor. But this school aims to solve one of the biggest struggles for international chains expanding in China: finding and keeping qualified service employees. Marriott* executives say that, although they have success retaining management, it is a struggle to keep lower-level positions filled. Sandra Ngan is a Marriott human resources manager.“Now the current challenge is changing a little bit because of the single child policy —and honestly, that is the frequent feedback we hear from our competitors and also from thehotel school as well. We have less and less young people willing to join the hotel industry.”Service jobs still carry some social stigma* in China, so Ngan says it is also necessary to persuade Chinese parents to let their only child join what she calls the Marriott family. She learned the hard way when one train ee in Shanghai didn’t show up for his first day of work.“So we call home and then he was telling us, ‘I really want to come, but my parents locked the door. My parents don’t want me to work here.’”Marriott already has 60 hotels in China. An aggressive growth plan envisions that number to reach 100 by the end of 2014.Back at the Beijing Hospitality Institute, first-year students spend time in a hotel room to learn about what some of them say is their least favorite part of the job — housekeeping.Key1. The Marriott hotel chain has faced the toughest challenge of lacking enough qualifiedemployees in China.2. The institute established aims to provide international chains expanding in hina withsufficient service employees.3. They have considered it to be well worthy of being educated there.4. One is that there are fewer and fewer young people willing to join the hotel industryas the result of the single child policy. The other is that service jobs in China stillcarry some social stigma among Chinese parents.5. Forty hotels of Marriott in China will have been increased by the end of 2014according to the aggressive growth plan.。
