Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”, turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself, and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939, a collector, Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses’ works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.Grandma Moses died on December 13, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world famous.参考答案：1-5 AABCB 6-10 BCACC11-15 CBACB 16-20 CAABA21-25 CDCBA 26-30 BBDBC31-35 ACACB 36-40 DBCDA41-45 CDBAB 46-50 ACCDB51-55 ABACD 56-60 CABDB61-65 BCEAD66.

Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIAA Comparison Between Western and Holistic MedicineWestern medicine1. treating patients as a series of isolated partsHolistic medicinetaking into account the symptoms, age, habits, emotions and lifestyleWestern medicine2. looking at the part which isn't working wellHolistic medicinebuilding an overall pictureWestern medicine3. trying to remove symptoms, not the causeHolistic medicinetreating the cause of illnessWestern medicine4. using drug and surgeryHolistic medicinepreventing illness -- balanced diet & healthy lifestyleB1.(T)2.(F)3.(T)4.(T)5.(F)6.(F)P: Good morning, and welcome to our program Worldly Wise. Today our attention turns to medicine and health care, and we examine a move which is becoming more and more popular, a move away from western attitudes to medicine towards what is known as the holistic approach. But what is it What does holistic mean I spoke to Dr. Henry Wilson, of the National Homeopathic Center.a system of medicine in which a disease is treated by giving extremely small amounts of a substance that causes the diseaseW: Well, holistic means "whole", or more than that. But in terms of health care, what it means is looking at the whole body, the whole person when it comes to treating them.P: And how does that differ from a more western approachW: Modem medicine treats patients as a series of parts that are all isolated. It looks at the part which isn't working and tries to remove the symptoms until everything's working well again a bit like a mechanic repairing a car. The opposite of holistic is symptomatic. Too often, modem medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of an illness. Drugs and surgery can remove the symptoms ...P: But what's wrong with that Surely that's what a person who's ill wants, isn't it to feel better, not to have the pain any moreW: Yes, but as I said, the cause remains. If you have a backache, painkillers will take away the pain, but there's still something wrong somewhere that caused the backache in the first place.P: So what does the holistic approach think about illnessW: Well, it takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the age, habits, emotions and lifestyle of the individual, and tries to build an overall picture. You see, being healthy means there is a balance, or a harmony, between your mind and your body. When you're ill, it's because there's an imbalance somewhere, and this imbalance is shown by symptoms. The symptoms themselves aren't very important. For example, two people suffering from headaches might be given very different treatment, because the cause of the headache is not the same. P: You mentioned treatment. If holistic medicine doesn't prescribe drugs, how does it treat illness W: It's important to understand that what holistic medicine tries to do above all is prevent illness, and we all know that prevention is better than cure. A good diet, with lots of fresh food, not processed food with its preservatives and chemicals is essential; and a healthy lifestyle, without too much pressure and worry, and lots of exercise and rest, not too much, not too little -- these are things that will prevent illness.Statements:1.More and more people are moving away from western medicine to holistic medicine.2.Western medicine is good for a mechanic while repairing a car.3.The cause of a backache is more important than the symptom itself.4.According to the holistic approach,when one is ill,it means there is an imbalance somewhere in him.5.If there are two people suffering from a headache,holistic medicine will treat them in the same way.6.The prevention of an illness is much easier than curing it.。

Synonyms of subhealth: a. third state b. gray state2. Definition of subhealth: a borderline state between health and disease3. Clinical names of subhealth: fatigue syndrome, endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, climacteric syndrome4. Food rich in nutritional elements: fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic productsFeeling stressed out lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the fancy equipment there show that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is defined as a borderline state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-time, due to their heightened exposure to stress. Subhealth comes under several clinical names, including fatigue syndrome,endocrinopathy, neurasthenia, and climacteric syndrome. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. In addition, cardiovascular diseases such as palpitations and arrhythmia mayappear. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and aquatic products because they are rich in nutritional elements--vitamins and trace elements--that are indispensable to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.。

Unit 5 AthletesPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening II'm Ted. Well, I've been playing it since I was quite young. My father was very keen on it and he used to give me lessons. We didn't have to go far to play, so we used to play together quite a lot. Unless you have to join a club, it's not an expensive sport. You just need a racket and some balls. When I was in university, I played for an hour or so every morning. Sometimes it was not easy for us to book a court because it was so popular. For most people, i t’s great exercise and requires a lot of energy. Of course, you have to be fit, as it demands a lot of running and speed around the court. Usually, there’s not a lot of standing around; one is constantly moving. But that’s why it’s a sport I like to play and watch so much.I'm Mike. I think I've been playing it for nearly 40 years now, ever since I was a little kid. It has always been a great interest of mine. When I watch a game, I appreciate the athletic skills of the players: the strategies of the manager or coach; and the excitement of the uncertainty. I enjoy not knowing how the game is going to end, even when a very strong team is playing against a very weak team. There's always that possibility of surprise, and of the unexpected changing the game.I'm Lisa. Well, I've been doing it every winter holiday for as long as I can remember. I love doing it because you can get better every time. It's fast and exciting and although it's really cold, you can still get a tan. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and it's really nice when you're tired to go and have a hot drink afterwards. The problem is that it's very expensive and really dangerous. But apart from getting hurt occasionally, I still thoroughly enjoy it.1. 1) tennis 2 ) quite young 3)soccer 4) a little kid 5) nearly 40 years6)skiing 7) remember2. tennis 1, 5, 7 football/soccer 2, 9, 10 skiing 3, 4, 6, 8Listening IIDuring the 1930s and 1940s, when someone asked a kid whom his role models were, he would often respond with the names of baseball players. Advertisers trying to sell a product would often turn to baseball stars because the public knew them and loved them. Now looking at today's baseball players, the only time we seem to hear about them is when they are complaining about their salaries. Baseball is no longer the great national pastime, and kids are looking elsewhere for their role models.Back in the 1930s and 1940s, money wasn't such an important issue. Players played baseball because they loved the game. They rarely complained about money. And they earned very little in comparison with players today.Most players back then were also positive role models both on and off the field. They did a lot of things for the neighborhood, from visiting sick children in hospitals to signing autographs—not for the publicity, but just one of the kindness of their hearts. Parents then could be proud when their children said that they wanted to grow up and play major league baseball. Today, however, most baseball players visit hospitals only when they need care, and some of them even charge 20 dollars for their autograph.In the past, players always tried to be positive role models for America's youth. Today, it is a totally different story. It seems that we can't get through a week without some baseball player doing something stupid or illegal.If today’s players would just grow up and stop worrying about who's making the most money, they would start feeling better about themselves; the public would start respecting the game again; and kids could start finding some role models on the baseball field again.1. B D A C2.T T F F F F F T T TListening IIIBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit is very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I don’t give team talks. I try to motivate the team as individuals. I speak to the players individually and try not to put too much pressure on anyone. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous.I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I continue employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those 11 players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight their way back to the team. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.1. 1) team spirit 2) A. spend time together B. individuals pressure C. autonomy interfered drop a player2. 1.2.4.6.8.10（√）Listening IVEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy which might otherwise be harmfully deployed. It does a lot of good getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the event will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable, as if the world really is one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate, exist only in a few places. Indeed, it is safe to say, we often suffer more from bad publicity than bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sports people together, but they unite the world’s public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda. But why should the feelings of a few spoil it for all those who continue to be inspired by the Games?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.1. 1.What is said about the purpose of the Olympic Games?

The line's clear. Can you hearme, Karen?Karen: Fine, Barry, just fine.Announcer: Great. So here is Karen Finch with her report from the Olympic Village.Karen: Well, I have two athletes with me in the studio. First, Bo Lundquist.Bo: Hi!Karen: Bo is a cyclist and he's here with the Swedish team. This is your first Olympics, isn't it, Bo?Bo: Yes, it is.Karen: And how do you feel about it?Bo: Happy, very happy.Karen: Let's talk about your training schedule, Bo. I imagine it's pretty hard.Bo: Yes, it is. I get up at five...Karen: Five! And do you start training then?Bo: Well, first I have a cup of coffee then I start training at about five- thirty. You know, it's quite cold at that time.Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo?Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish atabout midday.Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?Karen: Right.Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I go to bed early. I want to win a gold medal for Sweden.Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next we have Bob Smith with me in the studio. Bob's a long distance runner and the American 3000 meterschampion.Bob: Hi!Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm in first-class condition.Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like it. So I start around 10 o’clock.Karen: Mmm. And what about having lunch?Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o'clock.Karen: Really? So late?Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University.Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor.Karen: Don't you have any free time?Bob: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music is really special to me.Karen: Well, thank you, Bob and Bo. Good luck!

They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who all live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis or baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It is called ski touring.1. 1.building snowman2.throwing snowballs3.tobogganing4.ice-skating5.skiing2.

What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball has been my life so far...as you know. I mean, I know someday, could be tomorrow, that I'm going to be out of it.Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. Now, my next goal is to make it through four years, to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?Man: I'm a pitcher, so it's difficult to say because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem mighthappen. But normally, as a pitcher, I guess the prime time for a pitcher is between27 to 30. I'm 24 and this is my sixth year.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said, during my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard tostay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract?Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything. They could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the level of skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have much. I just worked hard and that's what got me here.1. Male Baseball player 24 Pitcher five to six2. 1.What is the prime career time for a pitcher? C2.

AListening IVLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool, an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered 50 of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about 200 feet high, though it may have been only 20 or 25. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, and then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as 15 feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool has got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it." "Come on."Then he shouted again, "I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great; then I was sinking, then My God! I was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."1. 1.

Unit 2 New Developments in medicinePart IIIAExperiment ReportProject: development of anti-AIDS medicine – T-20Researchers: Dr. Michael Saag and others at the University of AlabamaSubjects: 16 men infected with HIVProcedure:A. Subjects were divided into four groups.B. Two groups were given the lowest amount of T-20.C. The third group was given more of T-20.D. The fourth group was given the highest amount of T-20.Observations:A. The first two groups showed almost no reaction.B. The amount of HIV in the blood of the third group fell by ten times.C. The amount of HIV of the fourth group could not be measured in two weeks.Findings:A. T-20 attacks HIV before it has a chance to infect other cells.B. T-20 has no major bad effects.B1. In about 18 months.2. A virus that causes AIDS.3. Proteids inhibitors.4. I t’s difficult to take because it is not a pill.A promising new drug is being developed by American doctors that attacks the AIDS virus very soon after a person is infected. The drug is known as T-20. It is being tested in humans. Scientists say if everything goes well, the experimental medicine may be ready to be sold in about 18 months. The new drug is unlike other anti-AIDS medications, It attacks HIV before it has had a chance to infect other cells. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Dr. Michael Saag led the study at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. He says the findings offer the first proof that it is possible to fight HIV very soon after infection. In the study, T-20 was given by injection to 16 men infected with HIV. The men were divided into four groups. The two groups that were given the lowest amount of the drug showed almost no reaction to it. The third group of men was given more of the drug. Dr. Saag says the amount of HIV in the blood fell by ten times in that group. The fourth group was given the highest amount of T-20. In that group, the amount of HIV fell so low within two weeks of treatment it could not be measured. Dr. Saag say she is excited about T-20. He says it offers another treatment choice for patients in whom older drugs no longer work. Many new drugs have been used to treat the AIDS virus. Experts say drugs currently used can suppress the AIDS virus to very low levels in infected people. These drugs include proteids inhibitors. They help the immune system remain reasonably strong enough to fight other infections. Without proteids the HIV virus is unable to leave the cells where' it reproduces. So it cannot enter a person's blood andinfect other cells. Researchers say T-20 also may offer a second chance to patients who are unable to deal with the bad effects of proteids inhibitors and other anti-AIDS drugs. Experts say there were no major bad effects of T-20 in their study. Researchers say T-20 appears to be at least as effective as existing anti-AIDS treatments. However, some say they are concerned that the drug is difficult to take because it is not a pill that can be swallowed. Researchers are doing more studies to see if T-20 in a pill form would be as effective.Questions:1.When might people be able to purchase T-20 on the market?2.What is HIV?3.What do the currently used anti-AIDS drugs include?4.What are some scientific concerns about the new drug?Why?。

What cross training techniques do different sportsmen use Complete the following chart.Tapescript:Good morning. I'm Dr. Pat Parker, and I'm here to talk to you about preventative medicine in its widest and most personal aspects. In other words, I'm here to tell you how the patient should wrest control of their health away from the practitioners of medicine and take charge of their own medical destiny. I want to talk about staying out of the hands of the doctor.When the patient takes responsibility for her or his own health--and let's decide the patient is male for now -- men are in fact more at risk than women anyway--when thepatient takes over his own health regime, he must decide what he wants to do. Our department has recently completed a survey of men's health. We looked at men in different age groups and occupations, and we came up with a disturbing insight. Young men, particularly working class men, are at considerable risk of premature death because of their lifestyle. As a group, they have high risk factors: they drink too much alcohol, they smoke more heavily than any other group, their diet is frequently heavy in saturated fats, and they don't get enough exercise.We then did a smaller survey in which we looked at environmental factors which affect health. I had privately expected to find air or water pollution to be the biggest hazards, and they must not be ignored. However, the effects of the sun emerged as a threat which people simply do not take sufficiently seriously. Please remember that too much sunlight can cause permanent damage.Given this information, and the self-destructive things which people, particularly young men are doing to themselves, one could be excused for feeling very depressed. However, I'm an optimist, l see things improving, but only if we work very hard. In the second part of the talk I want to consider different things that you as students can do to improve your fitness.In the late 80's the Surgeon-General of the United States said that 53 percent of our illnesses could be avoided by healthy lifestyle choices. I now want to discuss these choices with you.You should try to make keeping fit fun! It's very hard to go out and do exercises by yourself, so it's wise to find a sport that you like and play it with other people, If you swim, you can consider scuba diving or snorkeling. If you jog, try to find a friend to go with. If youwalk, choose pretty places to walk or have a reason for walking. Your exercise regime should be a pleasure, not a penance.The university is an excellent place to find other people who share sporting interests with you, and there are many sports teams you can join. This, unfortunately, raises the issue of sports injuries, and different sports have characteristic injuries. As well as accidental injuries, we find repetitive strain injuries occurring in sports where the same motion is frequently performed, like rowing and squash. The parallel in working life is repetitive strain injury which may be suffered by typists or other people who perform the same action hour after hour, day after day.In this context, therefore, the most important thing to remember before any sport is to warm up adequately. Do stretching exercises, and aim at all times to increase your flexibility. Be gentle with yourself, and allow time to prepare for the game you have chosen to play.Don't be fooled by the term "warm up", by the way. It's every bit as important to do your warm-up exercises on a hot day as on a cool one.I think one of the most sensible and exciting developments in the reduction of injury is the recognition that all sports can borrow from each other. Many sports programs are now encouraging players to use cross training techniques, that is, to borrow training techniques from other sports. Boxers have been using cross training for years: building up stamina by doing road work and weight training, while honing their skills and reflexes. Other sports which require a high level of eye-hand coordination are following this trend, so you see table tennis players running and jogging to improve their performance, and footballers doing flexibility exercises which can help them control the ball better. All of these results are good, but the general sense of well-being is best, and is accessible to us all, from trained athletesto people who will never run a 100 meters in less than 15 seconds, Good health is not only for those who will achieve athletic greatness!（764）。

Unit 2Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:Are you curious to know what can turn a young boy into a vegetarian? Listen to what James, an 11-year-old, has to say.I decided to become a vegetarian when I was in first grade, after something happened to open my eyes. My teacher had brought two adorable turkeys to school for us to play with. Every day, when we were dismissed for recess, I would go to Mr. and Mrs. Turkey. It was the best part of my day.Thanksgiving came and went. The first day back for school, I ran to go see the turkeys, but both of them were gone. I was terrified! I went up to my teacher and asked her what had happened to the turkeys. She said that she had killed them and eaten them for Thanksgiving dinner! I was horrified to think of those sweet creatures being nothing more than someone's meal.That's how I became a vegetarian. From that day on, I decided not to eat meat ever again. I am the only vegetarian in my family, which is tough sometimes. My mom says I have a lot of willpower because she tried becoming a vegetarian but couldn't. She did not have the same experience I had because she did not know Mrs. & Mr. Turkey. I think it is harsh to kill animals and then eat them. I know that some animals are raised to be killed and eaten but it is just not right in my opinion. I know that this might sound a bit ridiculous, but I think that if we are able to eat animals then animals should be able to eat us too. Most kids my age don't agree with me but I plan to stick with my beliefs and stay a vegetarian for life.After Listening1.When James was in first grade, his teacher brought two adorable turkeys to school for thechildren to play with.2.The first day back for school after Thanksgiving, James was terrified to see that both of theturkeys were gone.

Especially popular are meat-freeburgers and hot dogs, and the plant-based cuisines of India, China, Mexico, Italy and Japan.3.The basic truth that medical research has uncovered is that plant foods lower your risk ofchronic disease; animal foods increase it.4.The nutritional drawbacks of animal foods are: they are devoid of fiber, contain far too muchsaturated fat and cholesterol, and may even carry traces of hormones, steroids and antibiotics.5.Animal foods are also unsafe in that they are the breeding grounds for E. coli, campylobacterand other bacteria that cause illness. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, six out of ten chickens are infected with salmonella.ernments have unfortunately bowed to pressure from powerful lobby groups such as theBeef Information Center, the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency and the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The exertion of pressure by these groups should come as no surprise: Even a minor reduction in recommended intakes of animal protein could cost these industries billions of dollars a year.7.The author says so because vast resources are required to raise, feed, shelter, transport,process and package farm animals slaughtered each year. Water and energy are used at every step of the way.8.John Robbins suggested that we eat lower on the food chain. And that, according to him, isperhaps the most potent single act we can take to halt the destruction of our environment and preserve our natural resources.9.What he saw at the country’s largest “processing” plants shocked him drastically. He watched"stubborn" cows being beaten and squealing pigs chased around the killing floor with electric calipers. He saw a cow which had missed the stun gun was hoisted fully conscious upside down by its hind leg and cut to pieces, thrashing until its last breath.10.Because animal welfare always comes second to profit. It can cost hundreds of dollars perminute to stop the conveyor line.11.Animals' living conditions on most of today's modernized farms are miserable. Most oftoday's modernized farms have long, windowless sheds in which animals live like prisoners their entire lives. Few of the animals ever experience sunlight or fresh air—and most of their natural urges are denied.12. A vegetarian diet not only affects the quality of our lives, but the rest of the living world. Wehold in our knives and forks the power to change this world. In Albert Einstein’s words, a vegetarian diet will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth.Text Analysis2. Argumentation.3.4.

Y et it has only 26 million people, which is less than half the population of the United Kingdom. It extends from the Great Lakes in the south to the majestic Rocky Mountains in the west, and the bleak Arctic Islandsin the far north. A third of the country is covered by forest and there are also vast grasslands and countless lakes and rivers.There are great variations in climate. Winters are extremely cold except in V ancouver which has a milder climate owing to its location on the west coast, so take a heavy overcoat and a fur hat. Canadian summers are warm on the whole, especially inland, so you’ll only need lightweight clothing.A quarter of all Canadians, mainly those living in the province of Quebec in the east, speak French as their first language.

There’s a marker on the step in the State Capitol Building. Standing there, you are exactly 1.6 kilometers above sea level, one mile high. Denver is known as “the-mile-high city”, but it does not appear to be that high. This is because it is built almost completely on smooth flat land. Denver is the largest city of the Rocky Mountains. Many people believe it is actually in the Rocky Mountains. However, it is about 50 kilometers east of them.The city of Denver has a population of about 470,000 people. This makes it the 26th largest city in the United States. The area around Denver has more than 1,600,000 people. City officials are proud of the fact that Denver receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Storms moving east across the country lose much of their strength in the Rockies. So Denvergets only about 35 centimeters of rain and snow a year. The nearby mountains, however, get a lot more than that.Denver is the business and marketing center for all the Rocky Mountain area. It has more than 1500 manufacturing companies. Food processing is the main manufacturing activity. Other factories make equipment for the defense, space high technology and transportation industries. Gold production is also important. Denver is home to companies that control half the gold produced in the United States.The computer and communications industries have become increasingly important in recent years. Denver has the third highest number of high technology jobs in relation to the population. The area also has become a center for companies that do business in other countries. This is true throughout the western states. In fact, more jobs in the American west are linked to foreign trade in any other part of the country.Tourism is also an important industry in Denver. For example, the Colorado History Museum shows the history of the native American Indians, gold miners and other people who moved to Colorado. The Denver Museum of Natural History shows Indian objects and examples of local wildlife. Many visitors to Colorado and Rocky Mountains use Denver’s new international airport, which opened in 1995. it was the first major new airport built in the United States in 21 years. It cost almost 5,000 million dollars. It is the largest airport in North America, almost 90,000 passengers land at Denver International Airport each day.There is a lot to see and do in Denver. The State Capitol Building is in the center of the city. The top is covered with more than 500 g of gold. On a clear day, a visitor to the Capitol can see for a distance of almost 250 kilometers. 87 years ago, city officials began to purchase land to make sure it would be protected from development. Today, the city owns 8000 hectares. On this land, Denver has built the largest city park system in the nation. Finally, there’s Larama Square. It is a business area that is said to look like Denver of the early 1900s. Larama Square is filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehicles pulled by horses. It is a part of the new Denver that lives in the past.Part V.

In the factory, water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting* liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure. The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added. This makes some of water evaporate*, leaving very strong coffee liquor*.To make instant coffee powder, the coffee liquor is poured through large cylindrical* driers at a temperature of 250-C. The heat evaporates the liquid, leaving instant coffee powder, which is collected and put into jars.Granulated* coffee is made by freeze-drying, The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces, they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat, leaving instant coffee granules*.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.1,B 2. A 3. C 4, C 5. D 6. D 7. B 8. APassage 2 Tinned T omato SoupTinned tomato soup is horrible. Why not make your own? It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.You need some onions*, some tomatoes, butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Then chop*the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you don't knowwhat sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you? — and cut them into quarters. Then you I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did I?My book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions, or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions — that's what makes the soup taste good,OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan — or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for three or four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said — you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into tile saucepan, and pour in some water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so. Pour yourself another glass of wine.When it's ready -= you can tell if it's ready, because everything's soft and it smells terrific —when it's ready, take it off the cooker and strain* it carefully through a sieve*. Actually, it's best if you've got one of those little machines where you turn a handle and it pushes everything through a round metal plate with little holes in — you know what I mean?Put the soup back into the saucepan and see whether it needs any more salt. Then bring it to the boil again. Cook it gently for two or three minutes; keep stirring it. When you serve it, you can mix in some milk ifyou like, but I don't bother -------------------------------------------- I think it's nice as it is. You're supposed tomake croutons* as well — you know, little squares of toast or friedbread ----------- but I don't bother about that either. It's too much trouble. Do tryit. You'll thank me.Exorcise A: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.2. D3. A4. C5. D6. D7. A8.

The center opened last month in Lyons*, France. It will help poor countries set up laboratories tc quickly identify and control infectious diseases.The WHO already operates an international system that watches for major health threats thatcould develop into world problems. The WHO executive director for communicable diseases is David Heymann. Doctor Heymann says the new medical center in France will help strengthen public health laboratories and services in developing countries.Doctor Heymann says there is a great need for this. In Africa, for example, he says only one laboratory can identify tile Ebola* or Marburg* viruses that cause serious diseases. It is the WHO laboratory in South Africa.Bacteria or other substances that are collected in any country inAfrica are sent to the laboratory in South Africa. Or they are sent to laboratories in Europe, North Anrerica or Asia. Doctor Heymann says Ebola is an example of a very complex disease that is hard to identify. But many countries, he says, do not even have the ability to identify more commonly known diseases, such as cholera* or yellow fever*.The World Health Organization estimates that diseases spread to other people kill more than 13,000,000 people around the world each year. Most of the victims are poor people in developing countries.To help solve this problem, the WHO hopes to train people from 45 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, The first training class begins in April in Lyons. Laboratory experts from eight countries in West Africa and Central Africa will take part. The programme will offer the medical experts and ,scientists new skills to identify diseases. They also will learn how to use communications equipment, the Internet and electronic mail. This technology will help them respond quickly to pos sible medical problems.The WHO says'the purpose of the project is to build a system that will help countries identify diseases. With these skills, the WHO says countries will he able to react more quickly to fight the spread of disease.Exercise: Listen to the report carefully and complete the following passage.The World Health organization has opened a new medical trainingcenter Io help developing countries identify and control diseases.

Unfortunately the pair he got didn't fit him at all. They were much mo big. His brother was very keen on swimming so he got him a pair of swimming trunks. They were a size too small, however, and so were much too tight. Butthat was the last mistake the poor professor made, because while he was picking out a bright pink summer dress for his daughter, she happened to see him in the shop and managed to persuade him that the colour didn't go with the colour of her hair, She was quite relieved to open her Christmas present the next week and find a book on wild flowers.Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics,1.W ily do you think Professor Smith couldn't buy the right presents for his children?2.Have things of this kind ever happened in your family?。

Unit 5 听力原文Part IBMan: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying whileI had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last longbecause I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I know I got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then — but it didn’t last long.Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else.CInterviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you?Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one.Interviewer: and what is your profession?Sergio: I’m an accountant.Interviewer: Are you married?Sergio: Yes, I’m married.Interviewer: Does your wife work?Sergio: Yes, luckily.

I worked for a chemical company near Milan.Interviewer: How long did you work there?Sergio: Um, for fourteen years.Interviewer: How did you lose your job?Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed?Sergio: Um, for about 6 months.Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age.Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty.Interviewer: So how do you spend your days?Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply.Interviewer: Any luck so far?Sergio: Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people?Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology.Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do?Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information.Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency?Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books.Interviewer: So how much time do you spend looking for a job?Sergio: Oh, about ten, fifteen hours per week.

Christine: Working, mostly.Interviewer: You mean you’ve been studying?Christine: Oh no, I’ve been doing a job to earn money.Interviewer: And have you made your fortune yet?Christine: Hardly! But I haven’t done too badly. I’ve been getting about ￡70 a week, plus my meals and my accommodation, so I’ve earned over ￡500 and I’ve managed to savemost of it.Interviewer: That sounds pretty good. What kind of work have you been doing exactly? Christine: I’ve been working in a hotel.Interviewer: What, as a waitress?Christine:No. I’ve been helping in the kitchen most of the time —washing and peeling vegetables, preparing breakfast trays, washing up — that sort of thing.Interviewer: And have you been enjoying it? Or has it been rather boring?Christine: No, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve found it quite interesting here, in fact. Not so much the work itself, but the people I’ve got to know and the friends I’ve made, and I’ve managed to do lots of things in my spare time too. It’s a seaside town, so there’s been quite a lot going on in the evenings — you know, dancing, bowling, cinemas, and so on — and on my afternoons off I’ve been doing quite a bit of sunbathing and swimming. Interviewer:Yes, I can see you’ve got quite brown. You’ve obviously been having some reasonable weather here. Now what about Kevin here? Kevin, you’ve managed to get a fantastic suntan. How have you been spending your time here? Have you been doing aholiday job?Kevin: Yes, I’ve been working down on the beach. I like an outdoor job.

I came here for a cheap holiday more than anything else. My brother’s the one who’s been making money this summer.Interviewer: Has he been working here in Brighton too?Kevin: No, he’s in Italy working as a courier for a travel firm.

I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it is to be work as the killing person in an abattoir. (I don’t actually think I would be capable of doing it: to work as the killing person in an abattoir.) I think that would be my, my, er, it’s self-explanatory why I couldn’t do it. I th...I can’t imagine how people actually do it. I met somebody once who erm was one of the people that went into erm er a chicken battery and they’d spend all night they were only working night shift and just kill chickens and and I just couldn’t comprehend how they managed to do that and how they stayed sane. That would be the worst thing. I think it’d be torture in more ways than one...My Idea of Heaven:1st speaker: On the other hand it would be wonderful to have a job where you are paid a lot of money and you could travel to different countries — someone like a television reporter or an archaeologist or an anthropologist. I mean those are the exciting kinds of jobs I’d like to have ... I can’t pinpoint one but it has to be a job where I can travel and see different countries and have time to actually stay in those countries and learn a little about those countries and visit exciting places.2nd speaker: What would I like to do? Well I guess probably the best job in the world would be to play for the New York Mets. You can’t beat that... you just can’t beat that... third baseman for the New Youk Mets. The Mets? Oh they’re a baseball team... best baseball team in the world.3rd speaker: To choose another sort of job that I would really like. I would very much like to be a photographer, erm because it would give me an opportunity to work with people but at the same time be independent still and that’s the thing that I always need. I need to be independent, be able to work on my own and be amongst other people, very much like you,I think, that I have to have other contact but like to get on with wha... with my own thing. Part Ⅳ1st speaker:…er …well, we don’t actually open till 9:30… er…I mean I have to be there at 8:45 because there’s lots to do beforehand. Um…I think what I like about it is I like meeting…meeting people, or rather dealing with people, because we’re really stuck behind that glass thing. Um... we used to have microphones and used them to speak to people, but they decided it was too impersonal so they changed it back. Um...you know, I like dealing with people like I said, it’s surprising, you know how varied the work is really. Well, a lot of it is routine, of course, but there’s still something unexpected every day. You never know who’s going to walk in and come up to your... er ... position. Er... yeah, I do like handling money and I like the responsibility and the feeling that the customers trust you because you are dealing with their money and their livelihood. Er... but what I don’t like is the way people can be rude or angry about little things that aren’t my fault. It’s usually because they’ve made a mistake themselves and they aren’t prepared to admit it. I mean it’s up tothem to check if they’ve got enough to cover a cheque if they write it, isn’t it really?2nd speaker: well, every day is different. I mean, some days I spend hours on end meeting with clients, trying to find out exactly what they want or I try to persuade them that our ideas will work. Now, you see, we’re very rarely given a free hand by clients. A lot of time, well yes, a lot of time is spent on research. You see, we have to do all the viewing and ...and the readership figures. We do our own surveys to find out what a cross-section of people think.Of course it’s not just what they think. I mean, people can say "Yes, that’s great. I...I found it really amusing and so on", but what counts is: Does it sell the goods? Now, if we don’t show a rise in sales then we lose a client, it’s as simple as that. Still, what I enjoy most is really the creative side. Now, ideas, you know, they come to you everywhere at the most unexpected times. In fact, the best idea I ever had came to me when I was in the bath and I just jumped straight out, I got on the phone to the client. You know, I was... usually we... we have what we call brainstorming sessions in the office, so the best ideas are usually the result of teamwork. That’s what makes a good agency-a team of individuals who can work both alone and together. It takes a special sort of person. Now, the biggest drawback of the work is that you stand or fall by results. If your ideas are drying up of if you make an expensive mistake, then you get the sack. There’s always that hanging over you —it’s always worrying.Part VDavid: Hi, you’re listening to Radio Southwest. The best in the Southwest from music along to the minute news. Sue is here. Hello, Sue.Sue: Hello, David.David: And we’ve got a job spot for you today, so if you are unemployed and looking for a new job, this could be a spot for you. So let’s have a look and see what we’ve got today. How about a hairdresser? You must be experienced for this job and the pay will be agreed. So that will depend on experience. The hours are 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to1 p.m. So that’s hours 8:30 to 5 Monday to Friday, and Saturday 8:45 to 1 p.m. a hairdresser.How about you Sue? What have you got?Sue: Right, David. Well, the first one we’ve got is a cook. That’s in a large busy restaurant. So it’s very useful to have experience in large scale cooking. The age is around 25 or so and pays 2 pounds an hour. So that’s not bad, isn’t it? (Mum) The hours are good, too. That’s Monday to Friday 3 to 6:30.David: Great. Thanks Sue. So that’s a cook. Now how do you fancy working out of doors? How do you fancy being a gardener? There is no age restrictions on this job. So as long as you’re fit and strong, any age and it’ll suit you. If you are keen on gardening, this could be a great job. The pay is 1 pound 70 an hour, and the hours: Tuesday to Saturday 8:30 to 5. Sunday you have to work once a month. But the bonus is on Monday. The garden centre’s closed.Now the third work you would be doing is a general assistant in a garden centre. Potting, watering, things like that. So if you’ve got green fingers, how about applying for that pay 1 pound 70 an hour? Sue, what else have you got?Sue: Right, David. From outdoors to indoors, we’ve got a short-hand typist job here. That’s in an office. And this job may suit a woman with school-age children. Because the hours are only15 hours a week. The age is twenty to fortyish and the pay depends on the age. It’s a smallfriendly office, but there is experience of course. The accuracy is more important than theexperience. So they go. That’s a nice short-hand typist job in an office.David:Great. Here is a job possibly to somebody who is a school leaver. It says: requires no experience at all but training will be given on the job. And pay is 67 pounds a week. What’s the job? Hm, it’s a shop assistant in a busy supermarket. It’s a full time job, but the big thing is you don’t need any experience. So if you’re just leaving school, and fancy working in the supermarket, try that. You get one day off during a week and you must work one late evening to 9:30 p.m. OK, that’s a shop assistant. Well, if you fancy any of those jobs, give us a ring here on job spot at Radio Southwest and now back to the music.。
