Unit eight. Part one. New dwellings in Great Britain. 3. Exercises.1. Listen to the following passage about housing in Britain, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.In all 189,000 new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006, a rise of 3.6 percent on 2005. Growth in owner occupation has been particularly marked increasing from 50 percent in 1991 to 67 percent at the end of 2006. Both the public and the private sectors build housing, but about four fifths in new dwellings are built by the private sector for sale to owner occupiers. Local authorities are encouraged to see their housing role as in the neighboring one. Working with housing associations and the private sector to increase the supply of low cost housing for sale or rent. Without necessarily providing it themselves. Housing associations are now the main providers of new social housing. Housing provided at rents affordable to people on low incomes, usually substantially below market rents. This allows local authorities to focus on improving the management of their own stock. Rents on new private sector lettings in Great Britain were deregulated in 1988 with the aim of stimulating the private rented sector, which had been declining from most of the last century. These policies had been taking forward with the housing act in 1996.Questions:1) How many new dwellings were completed in Great Britain in 2006?2) What percentage was owner occupation at the end of 2006?3) What are local authorities encouraged to do?4) Why were rents on new private sector lettings deregulated in 1988?2.

It was clean, but there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You should always just put it in the corner of the living room. But then you wouldn’t have any privacy and the bedroom was too small.M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors. But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72ed street apartment? It has a dining area, we could eat in the kitchen and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only what I didn’t like about that place was the west wind though. It gets quite hard in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air-conditioner?M: No, was there one?W: Yes, and we can improve on the curtains too.M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.W: Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs.

Maybe you could let the children share the larger room and you and your husband could use the smaller one.W: I suppose I could do that.M: A 3 bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few 3 bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won’t allow children as tenants.M: Well, the owner allows 2 children in this apartment complex.W: Aren’t you the owner?M: No, I am the manager. I live here too on the first floor of this building.W: Oh, that’s nice. Then if anything gets broken …M: Just leave a note on my door.W: You said that the rent will be 350 dollars a month.

You may take notes while you are listening.1) I do not think the market is stagnating, rather it is shaping up. Some events are weakening, some are strengthening. Trade fare organizers sometimes must cancel a show that does not have any development potential. On the other hand, new shows can be launched. An example of a newly launched trade show is the one focusing on wooden constructions. That show will take place in March 2008, and it has already attracted a lot of attention.2) I have been most influenced by people who have made a change in society. I really respect those people who have spoken up about what they believe in. I guess John Lennon was kind of my hero. I mean I like the Beatles and I love his music. But John also believed in a lot of issues that I support. I was so shocked when he was killed. I have also been deeply affected by the words of people like Dr. Martin Luther King. He tried to get people to work together, to accept each other, whether they were black, white or whatever.Unit eightPart one New dwellings住处, 住宅in Great BritainIn all一共; 总计all in all 从各方面考虑; 从各方面来说Owner-occupation指房子等）主人自住的，自用Marked adj. 有记号的, 显著的, 醒目的Sector n.部门, 部分, 区域（（活动领域的）部门; （尤指）经济领域: the manu`facturing sector, ie all the manufacturing industries of a country 制造业* the `service sector, eg hotels, restaurants, etc 服务性行业.）/战区，防区n.[计]扇形, 扇区vt.使分成部分Owner-occupier n. <英>业主居住者, (住在自家私房的人)Enabling adj. 【律】(用作定语)授予权利的Substantially adv.大体上, 实质上, 非常Letting n. 出租的房产/租金To deregulate撤销对（某事物）的规定﹑管制To stimulate使某人[某事物]奋发起来; 刺激﹑激励某人[某事物]:Housing association 住房协会Part twoTablet碑, 牌, 匾额（尤指固定於墙上作纪念的）./ 药片; 药丸Dosage药物一次或一阶段的）剂量Shrimp矮小的人Thesis dissertation 毕业论文; 学位论文/论题Part threeTo cross off划掉, 勾销cross off accountNosy adj. 好管闲事的, 爱追问的/包打听Half-board n. 半膳宿If you stay at a hotel and have half board, your breakfast and eveningmeal are included in the price of your stay at the hotel, but not your lunch.Rio de Janeiro里约热内卢(巴西Brazil港口城市) 海滩Part fourTo confirm证实, 证明（报告﹑意见等）的正确性; 确认、~sth; ~ sb (as/in sth) 批准（条约﹑任命等）; 肯定, 巩固或加强（权力﹑地位等教会）给（某人）施坚信礼（使之成为正式教徒）Confirmed 习惯的，根深蒂固的Reservation保留的座位﹑住处等; （座位﹑住处等的）预订Hazard危险; 有危险的事物; 风险Joho Lennon伦农又译列侬, 英国歌手与歌曲作家1957年他组织的音乐小组后来成为甲壳虫乐队the Beatles made their first record n 1962/separated in 19701.A new visitor record 新的参观者人数记录2.Guard against dangers to life and property 避免生命和财产遭受危险Insurance 保险3.The price index for export 出口价格指数the fourth consecutive month连续第四个月the US Department of Labor 美国劳工部4.indoor air pollution \ tobacco smoke抽烟\cooking and heating appliances烹饪和供暖器具vapors 气味from building materials，paints and furniture 建筑材料，油漆和家具5.make amazing assumptions about your character and potential performance 对你的性格和潜在的表现力作出惊人的判断1.the market isn’t stagnating----rather, it is shaping up 市场没有变得萧条，而是在逐渐成形cancel a show development potential 发展潜能new shows can be launched 推出一个新的展会2.speak up about what they believe in 敢于把自己的信仰说出口believe in a lot of issues that I support 信仰我所支持的一切accept each other 彼此接受对方。
上外中级笔译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 1 Sample test one. Part A. Spot dictation. Directions. In this part of the test you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanksin it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.The parents set the rules and the children obey. Right? Wrong? In a growing number of North American families adults have let their children take over. Parents want to be nurturing a love and make their small children happy. But many have become confused about the best way to achieve this, explains a noted child psychologist. Large number of parents are being controlled by their children to the point that the entire families end up organizing themselves around a small child’s emotions. The problem is that many mothers and fathers try to be afriend to their children. However parenting is not a popularity contest. Challenging authority is a normal part of child development, and the strongest between the ages of 4 and 6. Setting rules and enforcing them teaches the child that he or she is equal in worth but not equal in authority. Then the child feel sage and secure and can be a kid again. Believe it or not, it’s frightening for children to realize they are in charge of a situation. In up-side-down families when parents back down from rules they set, children become very insecure, anxious, and out of control. They don’t trust their parents to protect them. Paren ts shouldfollow these tips to avoid the situation and keep control. Be a leader. Parents cannot guide a child and seek his or her approval of their decisions at the same time. Don’t say it’s time for bed. OK? Instead say it’s time for bed kids. Don’t make rules quickly and then change them. It’s very important to be consistent. Once you make a rule stick to it. Pay less attention to your children when their behavior is bad, and more when it is good. Do not reward bad behavior by giving extra attention to it. Instead save your attention for when the child acts appropriately. Don’t allow your kids to call you by your first name. This removes the authority figure in a child’s life. Children need parents not another friend.Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions. In this part of the test you will hear several short statements.

We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called one-on-one helps elementary students who fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it, because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is tutoring in math and English. You’d have to volunteer 2 hours aweek for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject 2 days a week. Professor Doge will act as mentor to the tutors. He will be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I am sure you will enjoy this community service and you will gain valuable experience at the same time.

I had never lived away from my parents before. And I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind. And I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with 2 other girls. I guess the thing I learn the most was how to get long with others. You know how to respect other people’s opinions and properties,stuff like that. At home I don’t always have my own room. This was the first time I’d have to live with other people in the same room. We were all really different. I mean our personalities and life styles were completely opposite in some ways. Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight cordors, three 17 years olds live in one room. Can you imagine? I am surprised we survived at all. M: I think for myself. The hardest thing was learning how to manage my own time better. I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepared, and things like that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class. It was a drag. Somehow, midway through the semester, Ichanged and started to do well. Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school I didn’t have to worry. I had the same schedule everyday. And at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibilityfor your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out for yourself.

Dad wants tolive in a smaller town. And mom says she is sick and tired of the fastpace and taking care of the house, you know. W: Mm. So where are they going to move?M: I can not believe this.W: What?M: They are going to Mexico. Can you believe it?W: Oh, my Gosh. You are kidding.M: Nope. They are going to San Miguel De Olanda. It’s a gorgeous little town in mountains.W: Wow, I have never heard of it.M: It’s about 115 miles northwest of Mexico city.W: Wow, do your parents speak Spanish?M: No, but they are going to learn.W: Wow, that is a big change. Why don’t they stay in the US?M: Well, they always want to live abroad. Now that they are retired they finally get to do it. And my dad, he adores Mexico. He has been there 6 or 7 times at least.W: Wow, sounds like this is going to be quite an adventure.M: It should be. In San Miguel it is stunning.

Let’s talk a little bit today about Steve Jobs, founder ofApple Computer. Jobs, a college drop out, a drop out who then goes on to start a revolutionary computer company, that changed the way the world perceive the computer and its role in society. Steve jobs believed, I should say strongly believed that the computer should and would become a tool for the everyday person. In his own words, he says, quote, we started it out to get a computer in the hands of everyday people. And we succeeded beyond the wildest dreams. And succeed he did, in 1977 theworld’s first mass marketed personal computer, the apple two, came out. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands were sold. Other companies sprang up. And by 1985 there were 38 million computers in the world. In the year 2000, that number climbed to 557 million. In millions of homes acrossthe globe, we communicate by computer, we play games, we get and give information, we shop, we work, we organize our personal finances, all done on a personal everyday home computer. Now behind Jobs’ belief that the computer should made available to the everyday person, was a true underlined belief in technology, that technology could be used to better our lives. The seventies saw real revolution in technology, but people like Steve Jobs were motivated by more than just the need to be involved in the technological revolution. He wanted to shape it. Jobs believedth at it’s important to combine technology and art to be creative. With this kind of thinking it’s not too surprising to see whythe macintosh has become a favorite among artists, graphic designers, professionals in the publishing and video and animation industries. Jobs says, quote, the macintosh turned out so well because the people working on it were musicians, artists, poets, and historians, who also happen to be excellent computer scientists. So Jobs believed in technology. He believed it could be made available to everyone, and he believed that it could be used as a tool for creativity. He was certainly a pioneer.Questions:27) Which of the following statements is not true about Steve Jobs?28) In which year was the first mass marketed personal computer produced? 29) How many computers were there in the world in the year of 2000?30) What was Steve Jobs true underlined belief?Part C.

Well, maybeit’s a little bit expensive to change our ways, but we have to try. We need to take care of the world we live in. So I think we can all dosmall things like recycle plastics and be careful not to waste water and electricity. You know what they say. We only have one world so we shouldn’t mess it up.2) For me freedom speech is very important. We should always be allowed to say what we believe, especially now. You know that peoplewant to send to the internet, they want to limit what we have access to our computers. Well, I don’t agree with that at all. Of course I know it’s a tricky question, where do you draw the line on what should be controlled? What limit should be placed on our freedom of speech? I suppose there have to be some limits set, but I say the fewer the better. Maybe the best thing is just set aside everything on a case by case bases.。

学习-----好资料更多精品文档Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.

课文整理The Pearl Harbor Speech of Franklin Roosevelt罗斯福珍珠港事件演说1．Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. 昨天，1941年12月7日——必须永远记住这个耻辱的日子——美利坚合众国受到了日本帝国海军和空军突然的蓄意的攻击。
2．The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. 美国和日本处于和平状态，在日本的恳求下仍在与其政府和天皇进行交涉，以期维护太平洋地区的和平。
3．Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. 。
实际上，就在日本空军部队已经着手开始轰炸美国瓦湖岛之后的一小时，日本驻美国大使和同僚还向我们的国务卿提交了对美国最近致日方消息的正式答复。
虽然复函声称继续现行外交谈判似已无用，但却并未包含有关战争或武装攻击的威胁或暗示。
4．It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. 历史将会作证，由于夏威夷离日本的距离如此之遥，显然表明这次进攻是经过许多天甚至许多星期精心策划的。
在调停期间，日本政府蓄意以表示希望继续和平的虚假声明和说辞来欺骗美国。
5．The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces.Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. 昨天对夏威夷群岛的攻击给美国海陆军部队造成了严重的损害。
我遗憾地告诉各位，许多美国人丧失了生命，此外，根据报告，美国船只在旧金山和火奴鲁鲁（檀香山）之间的公海上也遭到了鱼雷袭击。
6．Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. 昨天，日本政府已发动了对马来亚的进攻。
7．Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. 昨晚，日本军队进攻了香港。
8．Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. 昨晚，日本军队进攻了关岛。
9．Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. 昨晚，日本军队进攻了菲律宾群岛。
10．Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. 昨晚，日本人进攻了威克岛。
11．This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island. 今晨，日本人进攻了中途岛。
12．Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. 因此，日本在整个太平洋区域采取了突然的攻势。
昨天和今天的事实不言自明。
美国的人民已经形成了自己的见解，并且非常清楚这关系到我们国家的安全和生存的本身。
13．As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. 作为陆、海军总司令，我已指示，为了我们的防务采取一切措施。
14．Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. 我们将永远记住这次对我们突袭的性质。
15．No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. 不论要用多长时间才能战胜这场蓄谋已久的侵略，美国人民将一定要以自己的正义力量取得绝对的胜利。
16．I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us again.我断言，我们不仅会尽最大能力来保卫我们自己，我们还将确保这种背信弃义的行为永远不会再次危及到我们，当我这样断言的时候，我相信我是正确理解了国会和人民的意志。
17．Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. 敌对行动已经存在。
无庸讳言，我国人民、我国领土和我国利益都处于严重危险之中。
18．With confidence in our armed forces——with the unbounding determination of our people——we will gain the inevitable triumph——so help us God. 怀着对我们军队的信心，依靠我们人民的坚强意志，我们将获得最终的胜利——愿上帝帮助我们！19．I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire. 我要求国会宣布：自1941年12月7日星期日，日本无端和怯懦的袭击时起，美国和日本帝国之间已处于战争状态。
The Farewell Address of Dwight D.Eisenhower艾森豪威尔告别演说1.This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.今天我来的这里想是和你们告别的，我想和你们分享一下我最后的感想。
2.Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. Ipray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.像所有的公民一样，我希望新的总统以及和他一起工作的人成功，我祈祷未来几年我们的国家和平繁荣。
3.We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among at nations. Three of these involved our own country. Despite these holocausts, America is today the strongest, the most influential, and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment. 我们现在的日期距本世纪中点已过十年，这个世纪经历了大国之间四次大的战争，我们自己的国家卷入其中三次。
