新标准大学英语5~6课文原文

咱们吃素吧!如果有一件事，既能增进健康、减少患上食物引起的疾病的危险，又有助于保护环境、保护千万动物安全生存，你做不做？我说的这件事就是每次坐下来就餐时挑选菜肴。

一百多万加拿大人已经行动起来：他们决定不吃肉。

变化速度之快令人惊叹。

素食品的销售额大大增加，前所未有。

尤受欢迎的是无肉汉堡包和热狗，以及以蔬为主的印度、中国、墨西哥、意大利和日本的菜肴。

推动人们转向素食的是医学研究提出的关于如何增进健康的建议。

一项又一项的研究都揭示了同样的基本事实：果蔬降低患慢性病的危险；肉类食品则增加这种危险。

美国饮食学协会指出，“科学资料表明，素食与降低多种慢性变性疾病的患病危险肯定有关系。

”去年秋天，在检验了4500个饮食与癌症的研究报告之后，世界癌症研究基金会直截了当地指出：“我们一向利用不合适的养料来维持人类生理引擎的运转。

”据威尔夫大学营养科学教授布鲁斯·霍拉勃称，这一“不合适的养料”致使加拿大每年用于治疗变性疾病的费用高达4000亿（加）元。

肉类食品存在严重的营养缺陷：它们不含纤维，含有过多的饱和脂肪和胆固醇，甚至可能含有微量的激素、类固醇和抗菌素。

牛肉、猪肉、鸡肉或鱼肉都一样。

肉类食品也是越来越广为人知的大肠杆菌、弯曲菌以及其他致病细菌的孳生地。

据加拿大食品检验机构称，十分之六的鸡染有沙门氏菌。

吃肉无异于玩俄式轮盘赌，拿你的健康做赌资。

既然如此，政府为什么不采取任何措施？很遗憾，政府屈服于强有力的院外活动集团的压力，如牛肉信息中心、加拿大禽蛋营销公司、加拿大乳牛场场主协会等。

根据信息自由法案获得的有关文件记载，这些集团迫使加拿大最新食品指南在1993年公布前作出修改。

这并不奇怪。

即使建议动物蛋白质的摄入量减少一丁点儿都会给这些企业带来每年数十亿元的损失。

健康和食品安全是选择素食生活方式令人信服的理由，但此外还有更为重大的因素要考虑。

以饲养动物为基础的农业是世界上对环境破坏最严重的产业之一。

想一想培育、饲养、建牲畜栏、运输、加工和包装加拿大每年宰杀的5亿头牲畜所需的巨大资源。

Unit 1 hit the nail on the head 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective（模糊的形容词）, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。

而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。

他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。

语言也是如此。

Unit5Inside viewConversation1Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis. Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert!Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting complimentsJanet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.Andy:Don’t you believe it!Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.Andy: Not only that, but I think you’d make a really TV presenter.Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here. Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信） you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.Andy:Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cook great food! Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managersAndy:OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle managementjobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.Janet:What’s the glass ceilingAndy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的） barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.Conversation 2Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceilingAndy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.Janet: It not fair.Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.Janet:That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.Andy: And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women.Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.Andy:You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And thereare plenty of women’s football teams!Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!Janet: I give up. What else has changedAndy:I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home. Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.Andy: Anyway, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course.Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!Andy:And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.Outside ViewIn South Korea, women are participating more in the economic and political sectors than they were a decade ago. But career aspirations for female students in South Korea still tend to be based on the traditional division of gender roles. They are accustomed to thinking of such jobs as teaching and nursing, what their male counterparts aim to become scientists and judges. Many of these young women are aware that if they want to be independent they need to train so they can have their own source of income. In the previous generation, women did not have the right to speak, because they did not have their own financial support. Therefore, our generation of women must work to be financially independent. The growth in the number of women who work has caused the typical South Korean household to change. For example, there are more women living alone. This is because they can make their own money rather than depend on a man to support them. There has also been a rapid rise in the numberof families in which both parents work. Married women increasingly want to participate in society but they need to balance family life and work. After marriage, we all struggle with how to take care of our children and work. The introduction of day care centers at some work places, such as the Chohung bank, has helped to make it possible for mothers to work. Whilst these women are at work, their children are in the day care center. There they are usually very well looked after, receiving a balanced diet, playing lots of games and doing plenty of exercise. Day care centers are increasingly popular all across the world because they enable parents to work. Women employees at Chohung Bank find it a big help, although the system is far from perfect. So far, my children have been well taken care of by our day care center. However, it will be difficult when my children go to elementary school because I often have to work late. Who will take care of them Our family recently decided to live together with our grandparents who might be able to take care of my children. Mothers also face other problems when they go to work. Women have traditionally been responsible for raising their children and often feel a strong sense of guilt when they put their children into day care. Some worry that it will have a negative impact on their children and that they may fail as a parent. On top of this, South Korean women often end up being less well paid than men with the same education. Korean women’s status in the labor market has not been much improved in spite of a continuing rise in their presence in the labor force and the level of their education. The majority of working women are still crowded in low wage and low status jobs many of which are found in the secondary market. So there are still lots of issues facing women going to work--- they are still having to choose between their families and their careers. What can be done to ensure that women are rewarded for their valuable contribution to the working worldSector 部门，行业，领域Aspiration 志向，抱负Whilst 在……时，虽然Counterpart 植物相当的人，职能相当的物Guilt 负罪感，内疚，自责Presence 存在，在场，出席Listening inPresenter: Has feminism(女权主义，男女平等主义） gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as stupid or weakSpeaker 1:Definitely, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that annoys me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it was one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole attitude now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.Speaker 2:Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of progress in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的）, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are portrayed in advertisements.Speaker 3: Has feminism gone too far in advertisements No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real equality of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as objects in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really don’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as super-masculine, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.Speaker4：Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weakmakes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they are more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole, I’d disagree;I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know-looking powerful. Then coming home to their wives who look after children.Speaker5: Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying. There’s that one where this woman is angry with her partner for his choice of car insurance. The idea is that she’s smart and he’s dumb（笨的，愚蠢）.Speaker6:I’ve never really thought about it, I think it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t, to show the guy as a bit of an idiot and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke. I don’t really know much about feminism. I don’t think so, no.Passage 2:The differences between men and women interest everyone. What are these differences exactly How great are they To what extent are they due to biology and how much the result of upbringing A lot of research has been done on the subject. Tests show, for example, that men tend to be more logical and analytical than women. Their spatial skills are better and they‘re better at problem-solving and mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, learn to speak earlier than boys and in general women have better verbal skills than men .They are more nurturing ,have more empathy and have better social skills.Research suggests that at least some of these differences are a result of our biochemistry and brain function. Brain scans show that men have bigger brains than women. Before men get too excited about this we should point out that both sexes do equally well in intelligence tests. So the fact that men have bigger brains does not mean they‘re more intelligent. But there are other important brain differences. Men have more grey matter in their brains and women have more white matter. Becauseof the different ways in which white matter and grey matter function, this could explain why men are better at spatial tasks and mathematics, and women are better at language skills.Now let’s take a look at the effect of hormones on the brain. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the body masculine .It‘s present in both men and women but obviously there‘s a lot more of it in men .It seems that testoste rone has the effect of making men more interested in systems and less interested in people .This would explain why women have better social skills than men. All this is not to say that it‘s biological differences alone that make men and women different. Upbringing is very important too and parents treat boys and girls quite differently. For example, up to the age of two, mothers make more eye contact with daughters and talk to them more. Men are a lot more physical with their sons and play rougher and noisier games with them. Both men and women speak more loudly to boys than to girls and girls are stroked(轻抚) more than boys. We will probably never be able to decide exactly how important upbringing and biology are in creating male and female differences. But the journey of discovery is fascinating.。

Unit 5Active reading (1)第二十二条军规《第二十二条军规》是上个世纪最著名的小说之一。

故事发生在第二次世界大战期间地中海一座小岛上的美军基地里。

虽然流血和破坏的场景揭示了一些战争的恐怖，但它并非传统意义上的战争小说。

没有英雄或英雄行为，敌人并不真是德国人（在故事中并未出现），而是能致你于死地的任何人——包括你自己的长官。

《第二十二条军规》主要是一部滑稽小说，其主要人物，一名叫约萨里安的飞行员，只有一个目标——活到战争结束，然后回家。

他以为通过装疯就能做到这一点。

那是个粗鲁的玩笑，可是达尼卡大夫并没有笑，直到约萨里安又执行了一次任务之后，再次来求他要求停飞——尽管这没有任何指望。

达尼卡大夫窃笑了一下，很快又沉浸到他自己的麻烦中去了，这包括怀特·哈夫特指挥官那天早上一直在向他挑战，要和他比印度式摔跤，而约萨里安则恰恰在彼时彼地决定要发疯。

“你这是在浪费时间，”达尼卡大夫不得不告诉他。

“你难道不能让疯子停飞吗？”“哦，当然。

我必须。

有一条军规说我必须让疯子停飞。

”“那你为什么不让我停飞？我疯了。

问问克莱温格去。

”“克莱温格？克莱温格在哪儿？你把克莱温格找来我就问他。

”“那就随便问谁吧。

他们会告诉你我有多疯。

”“他们疯了。

”“那你为什么不让他们停飞？”“他们为什么不要求我让他们停飞？”“因为他们疯了，这就是为什么。

”“他们当然疯了，”达尼卡大夫回答。

“我刚才告诉你他们疯了，不是吗？你不能让疯子来断定你是否疯了，对吧？”约萨里安冷静地看着他，换一种方法说。

“奥尔疯了吗？”“他肯定疯了，”达尼卡大夫说。

“你能让他停飞吗？”“我当然能。

不过他得先请求我。

这是军规的一部分。

”“那他为什么不请求你？”“因为他疯了，”达尼卡大夫说。

“要在无数次死里逃生之后还坚持执行战斗飞行任务，他一定是疯了。

当然，我能让奥尔停飞。

不过他得先请求我。

”“他要想停飞就只需做这些吗？”“就这些。

让他请求我吧。

我一本接一本阅读摆在我面前的书，读着读着便发现一本又破又旧的书，是我父亲小时候的。书名是《桑福徳与默顿》。我不相信如今还有谁会记得这本书。那是托玛斯•戴在18世纪80年代撰写的一本著名的进行道德教育的故事书，可该书的扉页上并没有提及他；上面写的是《桑福徳与默顿简易本》，玛丽•戈多尔芬著。书中讲的是一个富孩子和一个穷孩子与他们老师巴洛先生之间的冗长的谈话，其间穿插着戏剧性场面—— 分别写了富孩子和穷孩子如何发火、如何获救。书末讲的道德寓意不是一条，而是两条，都印在环形图案里：“不管发生什么，该做的就去做”，还有“想做伟人，必须先学会做个好人”。
我的父母都不是来自那种买得起许多书的家庭。然而，虽然买书准得花去他不少薪金，作为一家成立不久的保险公司最年轻的职员，父亲一直在精心挑选、不断订购他和母亲认为儿童成长应读的书。他们购书首先是为了我们的前程。
4 Besides the bookcase in the living room, which was always called "the library", there were the encyclopedia tables and dictionary stand under windows in our dining room. Here to help us grow up arguing around the dining room table were the Unabridged Webster, the Columbia Encyclopedia, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, the Lincoln Library of Information, and later the Book of Knowledge. In "the library", inside the bookcase were books I could soon begin on — and I did, reading them all alike and as they came, straight down their rows, top shelf to bottom. My mother read secondarily for information; she sank as a hedonist into novels. She read Dickens in the spirit in which she would have eloped with him. The novels of her girlhood that had stayed on in her imagination, besides those of Dickens and Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, were Jane Eyre, Trilby, The Woman in White, Green Mansions, King Solomon's Mines.

Unit 5Inside viewConversation 1Andy: I love Chinese, but is the food around here typical?Janet: Well, it depends (on) what you mean by typical. This is mostly Cantonese food from the south, except for the roast duck, which is from Beijing. But it’s different from the food where I come from, in the northeast.Andy: And which is better?Janet: Er, well, in my opinion, I think…Oh, look, here he comes. Hi, Tony.Tony: Hi, Li Hui, Ni hao.Janet: Ni hao. Tony, this is Andy, my colleague.Tony: Hi.Janet: We were wondering if we could ask you some questions about life in Chinatown.Andy: I don’t know if Janet’s told you, but we are doing a series of reviews on ethnic restaurants here in London for London Time Off.Tony: OK, I see.Andy: And the thing is, everyone eats Chinese and Indian food, but we want to put a bit of background and history on the website. Are you up for this?Tony: OK, fire away.Andy: What I suggest is, if you’ve got time, we will do some filming around here, and then we will put the research together back at the studio…Janet, are you ready with the sound this time?Janet: OK.Andy: Just remember to keep the needle out of the red zone. And don’t forget to stop us if there’s too much background noise.Janet: OK, thanks.Andy: Tony, you work here in Chinatown. Do you live here as well?Tony: No, in fact, very few Chinese actually live in Chinatown.Andy: And in comparison with Chinatown in, say, San Francisco or Sydney, is itlarger or smaller?Tony: I would say it’s much smaller. Really, i t’s only three or four streets.Andy: And the business here, is it mostly restaurant trade?Tony: Yes, as well as the supermarkets, which stock produce from China.Conversation2Andy: So where do you call home?Tony: Like lots of people, my grandparents came from Hong Kong in the 1950’s. But I’m a British-born Chinese so I guess this is home now.Andy: So how long has here been a Chinese community in London?Tony: For 200 years. When the Chinese first came to London, they arrived as sailors so they lived in the East End by the Docks.Andy: And how did they make their living?Tony: Restaurants mostly, but they were also famous for running laundries.Andy: And why did Chinatown move over here?Tony: At the start of the 20th century some of them move to the West End, which is the entertainment district to open Chinese restaurants. And gradually, the Chinese from all over the London met friends and did business here.Andy: And does it still feel like a traditional Chinese community?Tony: Oh, sure. You saw the Chinese gateway and we celebrate Chinese New Year along with the Chinese all over the world.Andy: Thanks.Tony: You are welcome.Andy: How is it going, Janet?Janet: It’s fine,that’s about three minutes of material.Andy: OK. Let’s wind it up, then. Tony, thank you very much, that was really interesting. Very grateful.Tony: No problem. Now, are you hungry? How about some dimsum and crispy roast duck?Janet: Sounds great! I’m starving. Thanks.Tony: Don’t mention it.Let’s go back to my restaurant.Andy: Sure, I’m starving too! All this talk about food! Thanks, Tony!Tony: You’re welcome!Outside viewPart 1Presenter: We’re taking a walk along this peaceful, quiet beach. Just the place to relax.But out there, at other beaches around the world, that’s another story. Let’s take a look. These sea lions fight to defend their territory. During the mating season, these elephant seals show aggression to establish dominance. People fight to defend their territory. In some situations, we’re us ed to it. We even expect it. When you’re on a crowded street, or trying to get into a crowded bus, other people are going to start shoving. It’s not always pleasant, but it’s not surprising when it happens. But what about here, on this lovely beach? There’s plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably, enjoy the sun, and look at the ocean.Let’s say you’re sitting on the beach, it’s not too crowded, and someone comes up and put their stuff right in front of you. What would you do? Speaker 1: I’d be very a ngry and go over to them and tell them to move.Speaker 2: Maybe throw a little sand in their face and make them to move, I don’t know.Speaker 3: If someone came and sat down in front of me on the beach, I would probably move my towel next to them and sta rt a conversation.”Presenter: Now that’s take Jack out to the street. This is South beach in Miami.Getting a parking place in this neighbourhood can be really difficult. That’s because there’re too many cars and not enough space. And when space is limited, people can get a lot more aggressive. Our producer is parked here in this very desirable parking spot. She’s going to wait until someone wants her parking space. There’s a lot of traffic, so she won’t have to wait too long. Yes!There’s someone now.Part BDriver: Leaving?Producer: Yeah, I’m leaving.Driver: Oh, great!Presenter: She pulls out, and the minute she pulls out, Jack pulls in. What do you think the driver will do? Drive away? Or stop and confront Jack?Driver: Hey! Hey! Come on, pal! That’s my spot, my parking spot!Jack: Oh yeah? I didn’t see you in it. Well, looks like it’s my space now! Sorry! Driver: What’re you talking about, man? You saw me, I was right there!Jack: You know, have you considered anger management counselling?Driver: I was right there! What’re you talking about?Jack: Ah, it’s now time for the sunny tunes of South Florida.Driver: I was right there. You saw me!Jack: What? I’m sorry I can’t hear what you’re saying.Driver: You saw me, come on!Jack: Great song, isn’t it？I love this song.Driver: Do you like it when people do that crap to you?Jack: Do you have a hearing problem? You scream a lot.Driver: No! You have… problem!Jack: Yeah. Whew!Presenter: If you’re waiting to pull into a parking spac e and someone else sneaks right into it, what would you do?Speaker 4: I would beep my horn, I would roll down the window, and I would shout very rude things at them.”Speaker 5: I would yell out the window and tell them to move!Presenter: Aggression, it’s part of survival. Animals and humans need to be aggressive in order to survive. But how aggressive do we need to be? When do we fight?When do we give up and walk away? Those are the decisions that we all make everyday.Listening inPassage 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour. Firstly, how groups develop, and secondly, the roles individuals play within a group. It’s widely acknowledged that the performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group. This is due to what we call synergy-in other words, the extra energy and effectiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect”.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study, their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors, such as how much time or money they are given, for example. The research suggests that things like personal identity, self-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely, we find that groups have natural phases that can help us understand their effectiveness. You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that, at first, wasn’t very productive. This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s, and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as “Forming” which is when individual members get to know each other. This is followed by “Storming” when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy. The third phase is “Norming” where a group identity begins to form. The final stage is “Performing”when individuals within the group work together. And it is at this stage that the group achieves results. Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early problems and begin performing as quickly as possible.Next I will look at the roles of individuals within groups. A group that is made up of individuals who have similar personalities may not work effectively. In the 1980s Belbin identified eight different roles that can help build effective teams. The “Chairperson” is someone who is self-confident and encourages others to contribute.Then there is the “Company worker” –he or she is conservative and helpsorganize others.The “Shaper” is outgoing and d ynamic and motivates others – whereas the “Plant” is a genius who is often a loner.The “Resource investigator”is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the “Monitor-evaluator” is calm and serous and makes good, balanced decisions.The “Team worker” in contrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit. And the “Completer-finisher”is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends. To be effective, a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Passage 2Today I’m reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand. Parts of the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004, and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai, the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organization Habitat for Humanity. About a year after the tsunami occurred, volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager, Somwang, is certainly very happy with the results. He used to live in a small hut on his two square meter plot of land near the sea. The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land, they built him a three-storey house, which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy, because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak, another tsunami hit island – all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here, I’ve discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter, but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them. A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joinedtogether to work in rebuilding the villagers’ homes and lives, and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter, who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity. He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It’s certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need.Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand, helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives. Their “Save & Bulid” scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home. The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need, and helps in the building of their new home. It’s then paid for in monthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves. This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...。

The Dangers of Smoking。

Smoking is a dangerous habit. It causes many different diseases, such as lung cancer and heart disease. Many people die from smoking-related illnesses every year. In addition, smoking can harm other people who are nearby. This is called passive smoking. The smoke from a cigarette not only affects the person who is smoking, but also the people around them. This is why many countries have banned smoking in public places.Part II Global Reading。

The Dangers of Smoking。

Smoking is a dangerous habit that can have serious consequences. It not only harms the person who smokes, but also those around them. The smoke from a cigarette can cause lung cancer, heart disease, and many other illnesses. In addition, passive smoking can also lead to health problems for non-smokers. This is why it is important to create smoke-free environments in public places.Part III Detailed Reading。

Voice-over These television viewers are trying to decide on a programme to watch, by clicking on channels, and seeing what's on. This practice is known as channel surfing. In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV. There were only three channels to choose from. Cable television has changed all that. There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves. This business traveller doesn't like anything. Many people like a particular type of programme.Speaker 1TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.Speaker 2I usually watch dramas, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.Speaker 3I like watching talk shows.Speaker 4I guess of all my favourite TV shows I'd like news programmes.Speaker 5 I like to watch soap operas and news.Speaker 6I like to watch comedy shows.Speaker 7 Well, I like good drama, I like a lot of the cop shows, um ...

Discovery, that type of thing.Part 2Voice-over Cartoons have always been popular. This brother and sister are watching their favourite DVD.

More and more board game cafes are opening in different neighborhoods.In some of cafes, customers pay an hourly rate to play tabletop games; in others a flat fee allows them to play for an unlimited time. On top of the fee, the cafes also require customers to purchase food and drinks.Most cafes offer hundreds of games, varying from classics like “Monopoly” and “Battleship” to European strategy games like “Settlers of Catan”and “Agricola”. They also have staff members to teach customers the rules of the game ifnecessary. This means that players are more comfortable exploring games that they haven’t played before.People enjoy going to these cafes because they can try out the games. It is cheaper than buying the games and then deciding they don’t like them.

If you ask me what the key to success is, it is a long story. But there are some keys that we can share this afternoon.First of all, live life on purpose. When you live your life on purpose, you will think more of what you do, so there will be more chances for you to succeed.The second thing is that you should write out a plan. Trying to do anything without an action plan is like driving around the world without a map.The next is to be ready to pay the price. If you want a big house, or a very expensive car, you have to pay enough money. Successful people find out what it costs to make their dream come true and make it happen.The last one is never to give up.Those are only some of the key points you have to keep in mind. The most important I think is to work hard.Test 18听力原文：In fact, alcohol is neither harmful nor helpful.

The old lady looked at the kids on the road, and said with a smile, “Look at the kids, They have no shoes on. I don’t want them to hurt their feet.”“You are so kind,”said the policeman. And then he started to pick up the broken glass together with the old lady.Test 20听力原文：There are different kinds of sales in the world,such as yard sales, Christmas sales and end-of-season sales.

Unit 6Inside ViewConversation 1Janet: So tell me about Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Joe. It looks really old.Joe: In fact, it was only built in 1997, which was the home of Shakespeare’s theatre company when he came to London in 1599.Janet: So what’s the Globe made of?Joe: Well, the walls are made of wood, and it’s got a thatched roof.Janet: Is that the kind of dried grass instead of tiles?Joe: That’s right. In fact, it’s the first thatched building in London since the Great Fire of London in 1966.Janet: That’s amazing.Joe: And inside it’s just like the original stage. The audience stands in front of the stage. Janet: Are you serious? Aren’t there any seats?Joe: Yes, there are some seats, but most people stand while they watch the play. So they get soaking wet when it rains. Actually the strangest thing is when you’re watching Romeo and Juliet in 16th century Verona, and suddenly there’s a plane passing over.Janet: That’s extraordinary!Joe: Yes, blows me away.Janet: And Andy tells me we’ve got a report to do on the summer season.Joe: Yes, that’s right. During the winter, it’s closed but in may the season starts again. Janet: When I think of Shakespeare, I usually think of Stratford-upon-Avon. Where is Stratford-upon-Avon?Joe: It’s about 130 kilometres from London. Yes, that’s where he was born, and it’s still the home of Royal Shakespeare Company. But I kind of see him as a London hero, because it’s here that he became the greatest playwright the world has ever known. Janet: You really think that?Joe: I sure do. Let’s get back to the studio and edit this.Conversation2Janet: So when was Shakespeare born?Joe: In 1564.Janet: And when did he die?Joe: In 1616.Janet: And when did he come to London?Joe: We don’t know exactly, but some time between 1585 and 1592.Janet: And what did he do in London?Joe: He joined a group of actors, and wrote some of his most famous plays, such as Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, and Romeo and Juliet.Janet: So what happened to him later in his life?Joe: Well, in 1603, Queen Elizabeth died, and theatre became less popular. And then the Globe Theatre burned down…Janet: And what was the last play he wrote?Joe: It was The Tempest – it’s often thought that the character of Prospero, the magician, was based on himself.Janet: And does the Royal Shakespeare Company still perform plays in London. Joe: Both in Stratford and London, and they also tour all over the country. I reckon there are about seven or eight Shakespeare plays on in the West End at the moment Janet: Why do you think he’s still so popular?Joe: What I think is great about Shakespeare is that the plays make audiences think.And that makes the audience feel good.Janet: And is it the same in the States?Joe: Maybe not so much. But there's huge respect for Shakespeare’s plays on Broadway.I suppose it’s because he’s still very relevant to audiences today.Janet: Joe, you know so much about Shakespeare! I’m really stunned!Well, I guess I’ve seen most of them at one time or another.Andy: Sorry I’m late.Joe: Better once than never, for never too late.Andy: What?Joe: Taming of the Shrew, Act 5 Scene1.Better late than never.Andy: Have you finished the edit? Let’s upload it onto the website.Outside ViewPresenter: Three American cyclists who only have three real legs between them are cycling through Oxford on a trek from Scotland to Greece. The trio sponsoredby Otto Bock USA all have prosthetic limbs and are hoping the challenge willraise awareness of the diversity of designs available. Six TV caught up withMick Wright, Sedan Sherret and Brad Kennedy earlier on today.Cyclist 1: Yeah it’s a little tough, I don’t like cycling. But you know, if we can, you know help somebody, motivate somebody to get back to an active lifestyle andput their mind to something good, it’s all worth it.Journalist: And so what’s really the point of this trip?Cyclist 2: To raise awareness of the abilities of those with disabilities. If you’ve lost a limb doesn't mean you sit on a couch. You can still be active; you can lead ahealthy lifestyle. And you can do challenges that you may have always wantedto do when you were fully healthy and with two legs.Journalist: And the trip is 2500 miles from Glasgow to Athens. How are you guys coping?Cyclist 3: Oh, I think we’re doing really well. We’re still in the, this is the first week of riding. We’re conditioning, we're getting used to the…we’ve had spectacularweather, it’s been, I mean, we got sunburnt in Scotland. It’s, we’re, we’regetting accustomed to life on the road and every day our pace is increasing andwe’re getting stronger. So I think it’s, it’s marvelous.Journalist: And will you, when you get to Athens, what’s your plan there?Cyclist 1: Hopefully take a little time to rest, relax vacation a little bit, and maybe throw the bike in the ocean, just the good things in life.Journalist: And what’s been the worst, most difficult thing you’ve come across so far? Cyclist 2: We’ve had some very challenging weather and some challenging hills. But We’ve actually enjoyed all of it. It’s been difficult but I think all of the ridinghas been good.Journalist: And how are the legs holding up?Cyclist 3: Oh great! Now we always say that our prosthetic limbs are the ones that are doing fabulous. It’s, it’s the, it’s the, as we refer to, the meat leg that, that might,might be a little weaker. But everybody’s riding really strongly and they’rejust, just performing marvelously.Listening inPassage 1Newscaster: A US Airways jet landed in the icy Hudson River in New York this afternoon after apparently hitting a flock of geese.

New York, at 3:26 pm this afternoon, bound for Charlotte Airport in North Carolina. It had 155 peopleaboard. Thirty to 45 seconds after take-off, a flock of geese apparently flewinto the plane, causing it to lose power in both engines and one engine to catchfire. Without power the plane was unable to return to La Guardia Airport andthe pilot decided to land in the Hudson River in order to avoid crashing in apopulated area. Two minutes later the plane made a successful landing in theHudson and passengers were able to climb out through the emergency exits.The plane immediately started taking in water but fortunately water taxis andboats that had seen the crash were waiting by the aircraft. Passengers and crewstood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into theboats. Over the next hour, as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane, including a baby, were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold. Their injuries are not reported to beserious. One of the passengers, Alberto Panero, said people had begun prayingas the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger. Aged 57, hehas 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twiceto make sure it was empty before climbing out. He has already been describedas a hero. The Governor of New York, David Paterson, said at a newsconference this afternoon, “I believe now we’ve had a miracle on the Hudson.This pilot, somehow without any engines, was somehow able to land this planeand perhaps without any injuries to the passengers.”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not breakup when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxisand boats.Passage 2Interviewer: Hi, we are asking people who their personal hero is. Someone they really admire and who’s inspired them in some way.Paul: Oh, right, interesting.Interviewer: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?Paul: Sure. My name is Paul Smith. I worked at London zoo.Interviewer: London zoo? Really?Paul: Yes, I’m a zoo keeper. I look after the elephants.Interviewer: Elephants? What a great job! So who is your hero, Paul?Paul: I’ve got quite a few heroes. But I guess my biggest hero is Al Gore. Interviewer: The American politician. So why him?Paul: Well, he is the guy who made people take climate change seriously. Interviewer: You are referring to the film, An Inconvenient Truth, I take it?Paul: That’s right. That film proved to people – with statistics and graphs, that kind of thing – that climate change was happening and that it’s man-made. Beforethat, most people believed it was just a few crazy scientists who thought it washappening.Interviewer: You work with animals. Do you worry about the effect of the climate on animals?Paul: Sure, I do. All these species are going to become extinct. It’s terrible. Interviewer: It is. Would you say Al Gore’s been an inspiration to you?Paul: Yes, I would. He’s taught me about importance of taking action when you see something that needs to be done. I do volunteer work for Greenpeace – quitea lot actually. That’s the way I do my bit.Interviewer: Greenpeace? Excellent. Thanks, Paul. Hi, what’s your name?Clare: Clare Hope.Interviewer: What do you do?Clare: Well, I’m a mum with two young kids. And I work part-time as an accountant for the Red Cross.Interviewer: We’re asking people who their personal hero is and if they’ve inspired them in any way.Clare: That’s an easy one. Melinda Gates, she’s my hero.Interviewer: Why is that?Clare: Well, she is Bill Gates’ wife, one of the richest people in the world. You know, she could so easily do nothing, just enjoy her money. And instead she co-founded the um… Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and I think that it’scalled – and it is one of the biggest private charity organization in the world.It’s donated more than 280 million dollars to various good causes. Interviewer: More than 280 million dollars? Now that’s a lot of money. She is very active in it, isn’t she?Clare: Oh yeah, she is a director. Flies all over the world.Interviewer: Do you do any work for charity?Clare: I make phone calls for Save the Children, asking people to donate. She is a real inspiration, Melinda gates.。

新标准大学英语视听说听力原文（5）Tricia ：Well, it’s true, yes.Karen ：I agree with Rick.Presenter ：So, next question …Unit 5 WarListening inPassage1There are many war novels but the novel I’m going to talk about today is unusual because it’swar seen through the eyes of a child. The “eyes” are those of J G Ballard, one of Britain’s most respected novelists.Let’s begin with some information about Ballard. He was born in 1930, in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman, and he was only 11 years old when the city was occupied during World War II. Ballard and his family were placed in a prison camp and he has said that his experiences there affected him so deeply that it was 40 years before he felt able to write about them. “Twenty years to forget and 20 years to remember.”The result of Ballard’s experiences was a semi-autobiographical novel called Empire of the Sun, published in 1984. It quickly became a success and in 1987 it was made into a movie by Hollywood director, Steven Spielberg.Let’s move on to the novel itself. Empire of the Sun tells the story of how a young boy, Jim Graham, survives the Japanese occupation. Interestingly, Jim is J G Ballard’s first name and his second name is Graham.Also, Jim is the same age as Ballard –11 –when the occupation begins. At the start of the story, Jim is living with his parents in a wealthy part of Shanghai. When the invasion begins,many of Shanghai’s inhabitants flee from the city and Jim’s parents do the same. But theboy becomes separated from them and finds himself all alone. He goes back to their empty home and lives alone there. Inevitably, he’s found and then he’s sent to a prison camp.It’s a terrible four years, but the boy somehow surviv es. He steals food, finds ways of getting in and out of the camp, and is befriended by some Americans and a Japanese boy.Is there a happy ending? Yes and no. Jim sees many people die; his Japanese friend is killed by the Americans. But at the end of the war, he gets back to Shanghai and is reunited with his parents.Jim’s experiences are terrible, as a child who discovers the depths of human cruelty. But he learnsalso about the strength and courage that is possible, even in these circumstances. Both the great power and the truth of the novel come from the fact that it’s based on the author’s own experiences. The general opinion of critics is that Empire of the Sun is one of the best war novels ever written – so read it, it’s worth it.Passage2HostOn Women’s World today, we look at women’s role in the Second World War and the important part they played in it. In the First World War, women had worked in factories and as nurses, both at home and at the front. In the Second World War, women were even more essential to the war effort. Doris Watts was just 18 when the war began and Mavis Grey was only 20.HostDo you remember how you felt, Doris, the day the war wasdeclared?DorisOh yes … of course I do. I felt frightened of course, but we had known it would happen. The first thing, more than anything I think, that I felt was … was that I wanted to do something! You know, do something useful, so I joined the Land Girls.HostAh, yes, the Women’s Land Army. That was an organization started in the First World War. Women worked in agriculture as the men were away fighting. Did you enjoy the experience?Sporting life Unit 6DorisNot really. It was very hard work, very physical. You never saw anybody except the officer coming to inspect your work. So when I heard about the WAAF I signed up.HostThat’s the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. WAAF, for short. So why the WAAF?DorisI’d always thought planes were very exciting. And it’s silly but I liked the light blue uniforms.HostThat’s a good enough reason! Now, Mavi s, you were in the WAAF at the same time as Doris. Can you tell us more about it?MavisYes. Organizations like the WAAF were a way for women to join the armed forces, since they weren’t allowed to fight. Instead, the army, the navy and the air force all had support services, which women could join.HostAnd Doris. What kind of things did you have to do?Doris Oh, well, a lot of different things. I worked in transport and catering. We were very young but we were given a lot of responsibility.Host大学英语。
