Unit 6 in book 4Part One Listening,Understanding and SpeakingListening 1Ex 1: 3,5,6,8,10Ex 2: four, 6.9, 5.1, doubly, far moreScripts:Husband: Oh! It’s unbelievable!Wife: What’s the matter?Husband: The article says that lifespan varies according to race, income level and whether you are male or female. Now, can you guess which is the most important factor?Wife: Hmm, I think it might be the sex.Husband: That’s right! My grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa. Generally speaking, women live longer than men. In 1993, the average lifespan of women was 6.9 yearslonger than that of men in the United States.Wife: 6.9 years! I can’t believe it. Then how about race?Husband: About race, the paper says white woman live 5.1 years longer than black women.Wife: So this means I am doubly lucky since I’m a white woman.Husband: Yes. But actually the largest risk you could run is being poor. Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking, drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.Wife: That’s true. If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions, good medical care and good nutrition. But still I have a question. Why do women live longer than men?Husband: I think you’d better ask the experts.Listening 2Ex 1: FTFTTEx 2: 1.bad, degree, opportunity 2.relate, measure these risks 3.mathematics, occur rmation, statistical risk 5.pollution, smoking, fiberScripts:The possibility that something bad will happen is a risk. Risk can also be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunity. All risks have possible negative results. However, some risks are worth taking. For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school football team. You risk a possible injury while playing to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team. You decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the injury. By being fit, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.How can we determine the risks involved in an action? Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied. These risks relate to choices made over activities or behaviour that influence one’s health, either positively or negatively. Scientists can use statistics to measure these risks. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that helps determine the possibility that something will occur. The information about this possibility is called statistical risk and can help you make healthy choices.For example, statistics indicate that in the United States the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent. In other words, two out of every 10 deaths are due to some kind of cancer. Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high. However, statistics also show that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over which you have some control. In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancer. These include such things as avoiding pollution, mot smoking and eating a diet high in fiber. If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.Listening 3Ex 1: AHCLE GINJF KMOBDEx 2: BDDDDScripts:If you plan to go hiking in the wilderness or a national park, make sure you are prepared. A compass, a knife, and maps are essential items to take with you. You should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case; some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from and then go back that way.If you can't find the trail, try to explore the area, marking your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. You may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until the morning. Even a full moon won't give you enough light to see; it can throw shadows that hide dangers.If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. You can also use bright colors, shiny metal or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.Listening 4Ex 1: Ex 2:1-5 B D C D B 5 7 3 1 4 6 2Scripts:I've been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a plane. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Well, I was flying over the mountains when suddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got my parachute on, and got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was lying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I'm not afraid of flying. But there's a lot to worry about as a pilot.Part Four Further Speaking and ListeningFurther ListeningListening 1Ex 1: F T T T FEx 2: 1. 17，Mallett Street, Alford 2. 6943168 3. fire service 4. 18 5. 16, 20Scripts:Balley: Hello, fire service.Grace:Oh, em, I'm ringing because I think there's a fire in the house across the street. Smoke is coming out of the upstairs windows, and I can see flames, too.Balley: Can you give me your name and address and telephone number, Madam?Grace:Yes. Grace Litton, 17, Mallett Street, Alford.Balley:I'm sorry. Can you spell Mallett, please?Grace: Yes, M, A, double L, E, double T. The telephone number is 6943168. The fire's in number 18, just across the road.Balley:Is anyone in the house?Grace: No, they've gone on holiday. They went to Bournemouth last Saturday, for two weeks. Balley: All right, Madam. We'll send a fire engine up to Mallett Street straightaway.Grace:What shall I do? Shall I warn the neighbors?Balley: Yes, you'd better tell the people living next door, at number 16 and number 20. But don't go into the house.Listening 2Ex 1: CBCDAScripts:Six days ago, in Russia, a mine was flooded and lots of miners were trapped underground. Nobody knew how much air was inside and what the situation was to the trapped miners. Rescue teams tried every way to get some message from the miners, but it all seemed in vain. This caused worldwide concerns. The accident was reported by the world media. But this morning, to people's great surprise, came the dramatic news that rescue teams had dug 60 meters and tunneled through. They had discovered survivors in the part of the mine not flooded. For the rest of the miners, however, those were really anxious moments. They had prepared themselves for the worst. Now suddenly there was hope that they could see their loved ones again. And then they too were rescued and brought out of the mine. Exhausted and wounded, they were not strong enough to wave to their relatives or friends. Wrapped with blankets, these survivors were carefully handed over to the ambulances and taken to a nearby hospital. However, not everyone survived. One miner was reported to have been found dead, another missing.Listening 3Ex 1: TTFFFEx 2: 1. killed 2. wall 3. leg 4. killed 5. two 6 .avoid 7. hit 8. damaged 9. hurt 10 .frightening Scripts:( Joe Burns is a famous racing driver. He is being interviewed on a sports program.)Reporter: You've had a very dangerous life, haven't you, Joe? I mean, you've been almost killed several times?Joe: Yes. I suppose that's right.Reporter: When was your worst accident?Joe: I'd say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.Reporter: Is that the only time you've been close to death?Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged,but luckily, I wasn't even hurt.Reporter: You must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn't be a racing-driver otherwise?Joe: I don't know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.Reporter: Really? Was that during your last race?Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during rush hour.Listening 4Ex 1: TFTFFFFFEx 2: 1. New York 2. luxury liners 3. heroism 4. evil 5. “unsinkable” 6. July 26,1956 7. 18. 101 9. Iceberg 10. Yes 11. 1500 12. 60 13, half 14. More than enough15. another shipScripts:On the morning of April 10, 1912, the luxury liner,Titanic, left England on a voyage to New York. Four days later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner, Andrea Doria, left Italy. It was also traveling to New York. Eight days later, this great ship also lay at thebottom of the Atlantic.The sinking of the two huge ships shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world's rich and famous people. In fact, 10 American millionaires lost their lives when Titanic went down. Today, millions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.Another similarity is that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and of evil. Some people acted very bravely, even heroically. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. One last similarity is that both of these ships were considered "unsinkable". People believed that they would never sink.There are also differences between these great ship disasters. To begin with, Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic; Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her hundred and first transatlantic crossing. Another difference is that the ships sank for different reasons. Titanic struck an iceberg; while Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Also, Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship; but Titanic was not equipped with radar--It had only a lookout. The lookout was only able to see the iceberg moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents is the number of lives lost. When Titanic sank, more than 1,500 people died--They drowned or froze to death in the icy North Atlantic water. Also, about 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident, 60 people lost their lives, and around 1,650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on Titanic is that the ship was considered to be unsinkable, so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats torescue all the people aboard. Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship. However, they were only able to use about half of the lifeboats due to a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting too that the wreck of Titanic was only found in September, 1985.。

Stores that rely on office workers will see far less business on a weekend, while those in the suburbs or in residential areas will see far more.

Unit 6 Psychological HealthFamous QuoteThe Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.— Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin (1706 — 1790): One of the Founding Fathers of theUnited States. As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author andprinter, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civicactivist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up theDeclaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major rolein the American Revolution and negotiated French support for thecolonists; as a scientist he is remembered particularly for his research in Unit OverviewModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, not only physically but also psychologically. In this unit, students will be introduced to the importance of psychological health and ways to achieve it through listening, watching and reading. Various activities will inspire the students to talk about ways to cope with stress and to be happy by using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a poll on “Stress on Campus”with their peers.In this unit, you will●get to know ways to deal with stress that comes fromstressful situations, different life periods anddifficult people through listening, watching and reading●talk about the impact of stress on your physical andespecially mental health, and the ways to deal with stress through guided activities“Stress on Campus” with your peers●conduct a poll on●pick up useful words and expressionsto reflect on your own learning and comment on that●learnof your peers●learn to think independently, critically and creatively Background InformationModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or ima gined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process knownas the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response ma y be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stresssystem is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including:●Pain of any kind●Heart disease●Digestive problems●Sleep problems●Depression●Obesity●Autoimmune diseases●Skin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

You are expected to do it after class and check the answers on your own.It’s common sense that if you are extremely unhappy in your job, and you come home and dump on your spouse about it every day, it could start to wear on the relationship.So is the opposite true, then? 1) If you’re happy in your job,can your marriage actually improve? According to long-term research conducted by The Love Doctor Terri Orbuch, the answer is “yes”.Orbuch, who is author of “5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great,” has been following and observing hundreds of married couples for nearly a quarter century inorder to find out what makes marriages happy, strong and long lasting. She has found that there is a definite positive spillover 2) from work to marriage.Here are her four suggestions on putting this into practice: Suggestion 1: 3) Seek support and help from your spouse. If you’re having a problem at work, solicit advice from your spouse. Research shows that the need for assistance is one of the three basic needs of all people in relationships (intimacy and reassurance of one’s value are the other two). Seeking solutions to work-related problems together strengthens the ma rital bond and feeling that “we’re in this together.” Moreover, because your spouse knows you so well, he or she is likely to come up with valuable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” in your job. A recent large-scale study in Harvard Business Review found that the No. 1 factor 5)that keeps employees happy and motivated in their jobs is “making progress.” Workers who are fulfilled and stimulated during the workday tend to be happier individuals, and much of that happiness gets transferred to their spouse at the end of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practice behaviors that relieve stress. Numerous studies have documented a link between workplacestress and poor health. The two most common workplace stressors are 7) feeling as if you haven’t been heard or supported, and 8) negative interpersonal work relationships. Find ways to express your needs, ask for assistance and manage conflicts at your job. Good health is sexy and attractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share your work life. Orbuch’s study found that the happiest marriages are ones in which partners feel their spouse regularly discloses information about his or her life, even details from work that might be deemed “boring.” The bonus: 10) Work life becomes interwoven with home life, promoting a satisfying feeling of work-life balance, which makes you happier overall.SourceAppendix A Supplementary Reading Unit 6 Psychological Health Useful Expressions。

A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is S2 owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is S3 managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who S4 invest . in mutual funds are also known as shareholders because a unit of S5 ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its S6 shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some case, bonds. The fund's shareholders are indirect S7 investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the stocks of many companies in its portfolio, S8 . shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock marketMost mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, S9 the investment management company sponsoring the fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund .A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy or sell these shares through a stock exchange. S10The sponsor does not buy back or issue shares after a closed-end fund is launched, so the investor must trade them through a broker.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.How can a teen be convinced to stop smoking--or persuaded never to take up the habit at all?Those questions became even more crucial last week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tobacco use among teenagers increased by nearly one-third in the last decade . In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did .Teens have their own issues their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions ,"says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers’ Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remain nonsmokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures. Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles.Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air.Air pollution has been a problem throughout history Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere .The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous.Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings , and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution.Cities with largenumbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems. .Part 1 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel , airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks , airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training,insurance , and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes , and surcharges they have little or no control over , and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations.If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country .Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other player s in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales.While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% , catering companies 10-13% , handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed. hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December twenty-fourth, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created--Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to a tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night .In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations.Some peopleput a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.。

A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is S2 owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is S3 managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who S4 invest . in mutual funds are also known as shareholders because a unit of S5 ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its S6 shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some case, bonds. The fund's shareholders are indirect S7 investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the stocks of many companies in its portfolio, S8 . shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock marketMost mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, S9 the investment management company sponsoring the fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund . A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy or sell these shares through a stock exchange. S10The sponsor does not buy back or issue shares after a closed-end fund is launched, so the investor must trade them through a broker.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.the habit at all?Those questions became even more crucial last week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tobacco use among teenagers increased by nearly one-third in the last decade. In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did .Teens have their own issues their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions ,"says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers’ Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remain nonsmokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures. Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles .Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air. Air pollution has been a problem throughout history Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere .The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous.Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings , and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution.Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems. .Part 1 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel , airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks , airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training, insurance , and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes , and surcharges they have little or no control over , and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations.If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country .Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other player s in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales.While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% , catering companies 10-13% , handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed. hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December twenty-fourth, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created--Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to a tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night .In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.。

You have to catch it yourself.— Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin (1706 —1790):One of the Founding Fathers of theUnited States. As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author andprinter, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civicactivist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up theDeclaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major rolein the American Revolution and negotiated French support for thecolonists; as a scientist he is remembered particularly for his research in Unit OverviewModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, not only physically but also psychologically. In this unit, students will be introduced to the importance of psychological health and ways to achieve it through listening, watching and reading. Various activities will inspire the students to talk about ways to cope with stress and to be happy by using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a poll on “Stress on Campus” with their peers.In this unit, you willget to know ways to deal with stress that comes from stressful situations, different lifeperiods and difficult people through listening, watching and readingtalk about the impact of stress on your physical and especially mental health, and theways to deal with stress through guided activitiesconduct a poll on “Stress on Campus” with your peerspick up useful words and expressionslearn to reflect on your own learning and comment on that of your peerslearn to think independently, critically and creativelyBackground InformationModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or ima gined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction,or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives yo u to study for an examwhen you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response ma y be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including:Pain of any kindHeart diseaseDigestive problemsSleep problemsDepressionObesityAutoimmune diseasesSkin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

He could make a person float in the air, pull a rabbit out of his hat,escape from a straitjacket and handcuffs—all underwater, and saw a woman in half.2. She thinks Davis Copperfield in the world’s greatest magician andhe’s certainly worth a look.Task 2: Is it really bad luckScriptAre you worried because you have just broken a mirror Some people believe that breaking a mirror is a (S1) terrible thing to do. They say it will bring you seven years of (S2) misfortune. The reason behind this belief stems the old idea that a person’s soul is in their (S3) reflection, so that if you smash your mirror, you soul will be (S4)damaged too, dooming you do an early death, and not giving you entry to (S5) heaven. Is there any way to reverse this bad luck Yes—if you very carefully (S6)pick up all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be”(S7) washed away”..Of all number, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. (S8) Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified, and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, twelve gods had gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke, entered. After the meal, Loke killed Balder, who was the most beloved of all the gods.(S9) Friday the thirteenth of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the thirteenth of March is the worst of them all .The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is luck. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and (S10)when people talk about the "seven-year itch" they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change in personalityTask3: The Status on Easter IslandScriptOne of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues on Easter Island. The island is one of the most remote places on Earth, located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, but it is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who carved these statures, and how and why were they put thereNobody knows the answer for sure, but many ate trying to find out. There are many theories to explain this mystery. It has even been suggested the space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues. Another theory relates to the fact that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousand of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the color of sky and the sun , the shapes of clouds, and the presence of birds making flights out to sea seeking food. The Polynesians first arrived on the island in the ocean currents which carried them there would mot take them back. They were trapped and, having arrived there, could not leave. The Polynesians probable cared the statues themselves, perhaps as religious symbols.To date, 887 statues have been discovered on the island. However, only a few statues were carried intended destination. The rest were abandoned along the way.The statues appear to have been carved out of the top edge of walls of a volcano on the island. After a statue was carved, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the base of the volcano. Then it was put upright, and ropes were tied around it. Using a pulley system, the statue was moves to its intended destination.At its peak, the population of Eater Island is believed to have reached 11,000. Eventually, the resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating one another. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.1.When and by whom was the island discovered2.Who are mentioned in the passage as possible builders of the statues3.What is true of the Polynesians on the island according to the passage4.How many statues ere carried to their intended destination5. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passageKeys: 1A . D 5BFor ReferenceThe resources of the island became exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating each other. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people had died out.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1This is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts.Chris: Sue, do you know why people say, “knock on wood” when they want to avoid bad luckSusan: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it has a lot to do with ancient Celtic people. They worshipped trees.Chris: Sounds interesting.Susan: They thoughts trees would suck demons back into the ground. Chris: Well, when you think about the deep roots, their belief seems to make some senses.Susan: What’s more, knocking on wood was a way to brag without being punished. People once thought that evil spirits would become jealous if good fortune was pointed out to themChris: Uh, yes, go on.Susan: well, by knocking on wood three times, the noise could frightened away the evil spirits, and they couldn’t have to rob the braggart of that good fortuneChris: I’m afraid those who don’t know this superstition might be frightened away as well.Susan: Now here’s a test. Do you know how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originatedChris:I haven’t the slightest idea, but I’m all ears.Susan:Again this is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts. Since they worshipped trees, they conducted many of theirceremonies in the woods in the shade of trees.Chris: Now I see. Probably it’s under these mistletoe trees that weddings took place.Susan: I wish you were standing under some mistletoe right now. Chris: Luckily I’m not. Touch wood.MODEL2 Is there any relationship between superstitions and real lifeScriptChris: It’s strange that so many people are superstitious. There must be some relationship between superstitions and real life. Susan: You know, Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist researched the relationship between superstition and luck.Chris: What did he find Most people would be interested. At least I would Susan:He polled ,000 people and fond that people who believe themselves to be lucky tend to go for positive superstitions .They may weara ring as a talisman or often say,” tou ch wood” for good luck. Chris: Then, what about the unlucky people Do you mean if they think they ate unlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions abut bad luck. Susan: Yeah. They worry a lot about a broken mirror, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Chris: So what is his pointSusan: His point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror.Chris: So, our fate is linked to our attitude rather than to our superstitions.Susan: I think that’s what he is suggesting.Chris: This research seems too complicates. If I were a psychologist, I would conduct a survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number.I f there ere traffic accidents or murders on the 13th than on otherdays, then we have to believe in superstitions.Susan: What if there weren’tChris: Then I wouldn’t be superstitious.Susan: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon. Chris: Well as long as you don’t think I’m a fool.MODEL3 I believe ETs have visited the earth before.ScriptNora: Hey, what’s this picture of yours It looks like a flying saucer. Chris: It is. I was visited by aliens last week and this is a picture of their spacecraft.Nora: When I look closer, it resembles a liver Frisbee.Chris: But it could have been aliens. I believe ETs have visited the earth befor e. What do you thinkNora:It would be hard to believe otherwise. Projects like the pyramids are difficult to explain away, given the level of technology that was available at the timeChris: That’s for sure. They are mysterious.Nora: When you consider all those “impossibilities, it’s tempting to infer that some highly advanced civilization assisted humans in their construction.Chris: Think about this: if you were abducted by aliens and taken up to their spaceship or something …well…Nora: What do you meanChris: I mean, who would believe you You’d go nuts telling everyone: “It’s true! I was abducted by aliens!”Nora: And everyone would think you were crazy, or just making up a story to get attention.Chris: From what I understand,sometimes these people do go crazy, trying to convince people about their experiences.Nora: I believe that in some cases they offer pretty good evidence. Chris: So, take a closer look at this picture. Do you still think it’sa FrisbeeNow Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGSimon: Eliza, do you know why people say” keep your fingers crossed”when they want to wish others luckEliza: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it’s a lot to do with an ancient Christian belief.Simon: Uh, go on.Eliza: In the Christian belief “making the sign of the cross” would keep away evil spirits and bad luck.Simon: I see. When you think about the cross, sign of Christianity, that belief seems to make some sense.Eliza: That’s true. That’s why children often cross their fingers when they tell a small lie. They want to keep bad luck away, or toavoid being punished.Simon:Sounds interesting. So, I’ll cross my fingers for you before you take the final examination.Eliza: Thank you.Simon: But those who don’t understand this superstition might be puzzled Eliza: With interesting communications among nations, more and more people can understand it now.V. Let’s TalkScriptThanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,”stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers. It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious people tended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once a toilet had been flushed. There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn’t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started.Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Horseshoes as a Sign of Good LuckScriptHorseshoes are a traditional sign of good luck. Most people believe this comes from the fact that the horseshoe is shaped like the crescent moon, a period of prosperity and good fortune. One legend has it that the Devil was in disguise and wandering at large, looking for trouble. He happened to call on St. Dunstan, who ea skilled in shoeing horses. St. Dunstan recognized the Devil and tied him to a wall with only his feet free to move. He then set to work shoeing him as though he were a horse, but with such roughness the Devil cried out for mercy. St. Dunstan stopped his work and released the Devil after making him promise never to enter a home on which a horseshoe was fixed. Witches fear horses, so they are also turned away by a door with a horseshoe mounted on it. The big issue regarding horseshoes is whether they should be hung points up or points down. The original superstition was that the horseshoe is points up to keep the luck from pouring out. Despite this view most buildings with horseshoes in their sign hang them the opposite way. The Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas hangs its horseshoe with the arc on top. They may be hoping their customers’luck runs out, but this is usually not something you advertise in your sign.

Dick: OOOPS!! Sorry I dropped it…but is it you or me that gets the seven years of bad luckJoan: You, I hope, but probable neither of us. I wonder where that “old wives’ tale” originated anyway.Dick: There used to be a lot of superstitions: black cats, ladders, numbers. My parent and grandparents are full of them.Joan: I agree. People today are much more educated than before. These superstitions are just amusing pieced of history rather than beliefs, don’t you think soDick: Perhaps, but some people today still go for them. People whose livelihoods depend more on luck—like professional athletes, or fishermen—often they have superstitious routines.Joan: It’s rue. I have heard of athletes who wear lucky socks or a treasured medal to bring them good fortune.Dick: And let’s not forget lucky numbers. We all know about the number4,6, and 8 in China.Joan: I know 4 is death and 8 is wealth, but what is the significance of 6Dick: 6 means good luck.

The friend has a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying, “This is good!”One day the king and his friend were out hunting. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!”to which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and proceeded to send his friend to jail. About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied him to a stake surrounded by wood. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king had but one thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So they set the king free.As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb off and felt badly sorry about his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right,” he said, “it was good for my thumb was blown off.” Then he apologized, “I’m very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”“What do you mean, ‘this is good’How could it be good that I sent you, my good friend, to jail for all this time”“If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.!”For Reference1.He had a habit of looking at every situation in his life and saying,“This is good!”2.After taking the gun, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.3.They set the king free, because being superstitious, they never ateanyone that was less than whole4.He felt sorry for his friend and went to the jail to apologize to him.5. If he had not been in jail, I would have been with you—and eaten.News ReportEgyptian TombsScriptArchaeologist have uncovered two tombs that date back more than 2,500 years in the part of Cairo where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood, according to Egyptian antiquity authorities.Although there is a modern suburb of Heliopolis in Cairo southeast of its ancient namesake, the original Heliopolis was known as a center of learning and academic study in ancient Mediterranean times.The 26-century-old tombs that date back to the years 664 to 625 BC were developed during a routine archaeological inspection of an empty plot of land in the Eins Shams district of northwestern Cairo. This district covers part of the ground that used to be the ancient city of Heliopolis. The owner of the land was seeking construction rights and by law, construction cannot begin without a permit certifying that the site has no historical significance.The first of the two limestone tombs to be opened contained a sarcophagus and sixteen statuettes, said the chief state archaeologist for the Cairo-Giza area, Zahi Hawass.Hawass said in a statement that the tombs were found in a d owntown residential area, three meters below the ground.[SOUND BITE]Hawass went on to give a more detailed account of the important find. [SOUND BITE]It appears that the tombs have not been raided by grave robbers, but they have been damaged by leaking sewage water.The first tomb to be uncovered belonged to a builder named Waja-Hur. His name was engraved on the statuettes, which the ancient Egyptians placed in tombs to answer questions for them in the afterlife.Te process of recovering these artifacts can be long and tedious, but the historical significance of these pieces makes the painstaking work worthwhile.[SOUND BITE]Egyptian archaeologists plan to open the second tomb on Sunday.。

She thinks Davis Copperfield in the world’s greatest magician and he’s certainlyworth a look..Task 2: Is it really bad luckScriptAre you worried because you have just broken a mirror Some people believe that breaking a mirror is a (S1) terrible thing to do. They say it will bring you seven years of (S2) misfortune. The reason behind this belief stems the old idea that a person’s soul is in their (S3) reflection, so that if you smash your mirror, you soul will be (S4) damaged too, dooming you do an early death, and not giving you entry to (S5) heaven. Is there any way to reverse this bad luck Yes—if you very carefully (S6) pick up all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be”(S7) washed away”..Of all number, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. (S8) Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified, and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, twelve gods had gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke, entered. After the meal, Loke killed Balder, who was the most beloved of all the gods.(S9) Friday the thirteenth of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the thirteenth of March is the worst of them all .The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is luck. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and (S10)when people talk about the "seven-year itch" they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change in personality—Task3: The Status on Easter IslandScriptOne of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues on Easter Island. The island is one of the most remote places on Earth, located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, but it is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.Who carved these statures, and how and why were they put thereNobody knows the answer for sure, but many ate trying to find out. There are many theories to explain this mystery. It has even been suggested the space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues. Another theory relates to the fact that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousand of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the color of sky and the sun , the shapes of clouds, and the presence of birds making flights out to sea seeking food. The Polynesians first arrived on the island in the ocean currents which carried them there would mot take them back. They were trapped and, having arrived there, could not leave. The Polynesians probable cared the statues themselves, perhaps as religious symbols.To date, 887 statues have been discovered on the island. However, only a few statues were carried intended destination. The rest were abandoned along the way.The statues appear to have been carved out of the top edge of walls of a volcano on the island. After a statue was carved, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the base of the volcano. Then it was put upright, and ropes were tied around it. Using a pulley system, the statue was moves to its intended destination.At its peak, the population of Eater Island is believed to have reached 11,000. Eventually, the resources of the island were exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating one another. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people lad died out.[1.When and by whom was the island discovered2.Who are mentioned in the passage as possible builders of the statues3.What is true of the Polynesians on the island according to the passage4.How many statues ere carried to their intended destination5. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passageKeys: 1A . D 5B;For ReferenceThe resources of the island became exhausted, and the people resorted to cannibalism, eating each other. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of the people had died out.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1This is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts.Chris: Sue, do you know why people say, “knock on wood” when they want to avoid bad luck@Susan: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it has a lot to do with ancient Celtic people. They worshipped trees.Chris: Sounds interesting.Susan: They thoughts trees would suck demons back into the ground.Chris: Well, when you think about the deep roots, their belief seems to make some senses.Susan: What’s more, knocking on wood was a way to brag without being punished.People once thought that evil spirits would become jealous if good fortunewas pointed out to themChris: Uh, yes, go on.Susan: well, by knocking on wood three times, the noise could frightened away the evil spirits, and they couldn’t have to rob the braggart of that good fortune Chris: I’m afraid those who don’t know this superstition might be frightened away as well.Susan:Now here’s a test. Do you know how the custom of kissing under the mistletoe originatedChris:I haven’t the slightest idea, but I’m all ears.、Susan:Again this is a custom that dates back to the ancient Celts. Since they worshipped trees, they conducted many of their ceremonies in thewoods in the shade of trees.Chris: Now I see. Probably it’s under these mistletoe trees that weddings took place. Susan: I wish you were standing under some mistletoe right now.Chris: Luckily I’m not. Touch wood.MODEL2 Is there any relationship between superstitions and real lifeScript$Chris: It’s strange that so many people are superstitious. There must be some relationship between superstitions and real life.Susan:You know, Richard Wiseman, a British psychologist researched the relationship between superstition and luck.Chris: What did he find Most people would be interested. At least I wouldSusan:He polled ,000 people and fond that people who believe themselves to be lucky tend to go for positive superstitions .They may wear a ring as a talisman or often say,” touch wood” for good luck.Chris: Then, what about the unlucky people Do you mean if they think they ate unlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions abut bad luck.Susan: Yeah. They worry a lot about a broken mirror, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Chris: So what is his pointSusan: His point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror.Chris: So, our fate is linked to our attitude rather than to our superstitions.Susan: I think that’s what he is suggesting.^Chris: This research seems too complicates. If I were a psychologist, I would conducta survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number. I f there ere trafficaccidents or murders on the 13th than on other days, then we have to believe in superstitions.Susan: What if there weren’tChris: Then I wouldn’t be superstitious.Susan: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon. Chris: Well as long as you don’t think I’m a fool.MODEL3 I believe ETs have visited the earth before.《ScriptNora: Hey, what’s this picture of yours It looks like a flying saucer.Chris: It is. I was visited by aliens last week and this is a picture of their spacecraft. Nora: When I look closer, it resembles a liver Frisbee.Chris: But it could have been aliens. I believe ETs have visited the earth befor e. Whatdo you thinkNora:It would be hard to believe otherwise. Projects like the pyramids are difficult to explain away, given the level of technology that was available at the time Chris: That’s for sure. They are mysterious.Nora: When you consider all those “im possibilities, it’s tempting to infer that some highly advanced civilization assisted humans in their construction.Chris: Think about this: if you were abducted by aliens and taken up to their spaceship or something …well…Nora: What do you mean"Chris: I mean, who would believe you You’d go nuts telling everyone: “It’s true! I was abducted by aliens!”Nora: And everyone would think you were crazy, or just making up a story to get attention.Chris: From what I understand,sometimes these people do go crazy, trying to convince people about their experiences.Nora: I believe that in some cases they offer pretty good evidence.Chris: So, take a closer look at this picture. Do you still think it’s a FrisbeeNow Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOG`Simon: Eliza, do you know why people say” keep your fingers crossed”when they want to wish others luckEliza: It sounds a bit funny. As far as I know, it’s a lot to do with an ancient Christian belief.Simon: Uh, go on.Eliza:In the Christian belief “making the sign of the cross”would keep away evil spirits and bad luck.Simon: I see. When you think about the cross, sign of Christianity, that belief seems to make some sense.Eliza:That’s true. That’s why children often cross their fingers when they tell a small lie. They want to keep bad luck away, or to avoid being punished. Simon: Sounds interesting. So, I’ll cross my fingers for you before you take the final examination.Eliza:Thank you.Simon: But those who don’t understand this superstition might be puzzledEliza:With interesting communications among nations, more and more people can understand it now.—V. Let’s TalkScriptThanks, perhaps, to falling stock markets and unrest in the Middle East, Britons have become even more superstitious than usual, according to a report published today. “There has been a significant increase in superstition over the last month, possible as a result of current economic and political uncertainties,” stated Dr. Dick Armstrong. He launched an Internet Survey of national superstition, and found it to be surprisingly high, even among those with a scientific background. Only more in ten of those surveyed claimed not to be superstitious at all. Three out of four people in Britain feel the need to touch wood, and 65% cross their fingers.It is interesting to note that lucky people were much less superstitious and tended to take constructive action to improve their lives. Conversely, superstitious people tended to regard themselves as among the less lucky, worried about life, had a strong need for control, and could not tolerate ambiguity.The survey also revealed some unexpected beliefs. For example, one respondent could not stay in the bathroom once a toilet had been flushed.There was no evidence that superstitious ever worked, even, when people were instructed to carry lucky charms for a week. They didn’t feel any luckier or more stratified with their lives at the end of that week than when they started. Armstrong attempted to explain this phenomenon: “When students are preparing for exams with a lucky charm, they may trust the charm, rather than doing some extra revision.”VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Horseshoes as a Sign of Good LuckScriptHorseshoes are a traditional sign of good luck. Most people believe this comes from the fact that the horseshoe is shaped like the crescent moon, a period of prosperity and good fortune. One legend has it that the Devil was in disguise and wandering at large, looking for trouble. He happened to call on St. Dunstan, who ea skilled in shoeing horses. St. Dunstan recognized the Devil and tied him to a wall with only his feet free to move. He then set to work shoeing him as though he were a horse, but with such roughness the Devil cried out for mercy. St. Dunstan stopped his work and released the Devil after making him promise never to enter a home on which a horseshoe was fixed. Witches fear horses, so they are also turned away by a door with a horseshoe mounted on it. The big issue regarding horseshoes is whether they should be hung points up or points down.…The original superstition was that the horseshoe is points up to keep the luck from pouring out. Despite this view most buildings with horseshoes in their sign hang them the opposite way. The Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas hangs its horseshoe with the arc on top. They may be hoping their customers’ luck runs out, but this is usually not something you advertise in your sign. Finger rings made of horseshoe nail are said to keep away bad luck. Also, robbing two horseshoes together is said to bring good luck.1.According to the passage, what does the crescent moon represent2.What did St. Dunstan do to the Devil3.What did the Devil promise4.What is the big issue concerning the horseshoe5.Why is the arc of the horseshoe up at the casino in Las Vegas。
