新视野大学英语读写教程第二册（第二版）Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country If it does not, and if you don’t think you w ould like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 2 第二单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhen I think back about the many people who have influenced me during my life, I often think of one person who showed his passion through his commitment to my success. I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 3 第三单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesGail and Mark were from different cultural and racial background. They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be mar rying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark wasmarrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable.

Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follows the child throughout his or her life. How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when th e child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child.2.

(D)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESPassage 1According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours and take shorter vacations than employees did in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. A management adviser, Bill Meyer, decided to find out the answer to the question. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday; the banker worked 80 hours a week. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him, and discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing busy work.Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. However, the connection between time and productivity is not always positive. In fact, many studies show that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Furthermore, it's not always easy for individuals to realize that their performance is decreasing.Part of the problem is understandable. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this.Consequently, they work longer hours and take less vacation time than they did nine years ago. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week. They feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What happens to employees in many U.S. companies today?2. What did Bill Meyer do with an investment banker?3. What is the relationship between time and productivity?4. How much time did the banker spend doing busy work?5. How do employers evaluate employees?Key: 1. (C) 2. (A) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (C)Passage 2One observation made by many visitors to the United States is that Americans frequently prefer to answer with a brief "Yes", "No", "Sure", or the very popular "Yeah" rather than with a longer reply. But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or offensive. Very often, Americans are rushed and may greet you with a hurried "Hi”. Indeed, this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of status, age or employment. However, those used to longer, beautifully formed statements may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American "plain talk".Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are embarrassed. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become embarrassed and not know what to say in reply. They do not intend to be impolite or offensive; you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans do not usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but easy-going or relaxed people.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. What does the fact that Americans do not waste words tell us?7. Which of the following is true of those who like using beautiful or quality language?8. Winch of the following is NOT true?9. How will the Americans feel if they are praised in a polite way?10. What did you learn about the American custom of giving gifts?Key: 6. (D) 7. (A) 8. (C) 9. (D) 10. (B)Passage 3Those long lines at United States airports are not just on the runways. As the number of airline passengers increases to 614 million last year, up from 488 million in 1993 – and airports remain the same size, waiting in line has become a frustrating experience. The airlines, heating ~owing complaints and eager to cut costs, have begun adopting new techniques to speed people on their way.Continental Airlines and Alaska Airlines use a program with computer screens where passengers, using credit cards for identification, can check themselves in, answer security questions about who packed their bags and whether it has been under their control at all times, and obtain boarding passes.Alaska also has ticketing officers who walk about in airports carrying computers that can print out boarding passes.Airlines are also improving their computer networks, which will reduce the time it takes to issue tickets and boarding passes. TWA recently installed touch-screen computers, like those at ATM machines, that allow officers to issue boarding passes faster.Penny Thomas, United Airline's manager of in-airport service planning, said: "The most basic rule to reduce time in line is to arrive at the airport in travel-ready condition. That means you do not need to see anyone, to buy a ticket or to change a seat assignment. It means your only requirement is to get a boarding pass."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What causes the long lines at U.S. airports?12. What was the number of U.S. airline passengers in 1993713. Which new technique have Continental Airlines and Alaska Airlines adopted?14. What's the purpose of improving the U.S. airlines' computer networks?15. According to Penny Thomas. what is the most basic rule to reduce time in line?Key: .(A) 12.(C) 13.(A) 14.(A) 15.(A)Passage 4Although the relaxed American style is well known, many new visitors think that it shows a "lack of respect'. This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just smile and say "Hi" or "Hello", rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such a relaxed greeting really means the same thing as a more official handshake somewhere else.In a similar way, Americans do not usually give a special "good-bye' or shake hands to each person when they leave a party or business meeting. They will often just wave good-bye to the whole group and perhaps say, "Well, so long everybody, I'll see you tomorrow." They then will leave. No handshakes.Americans seem either totally hurried and hard-working or totally relaxed and at ease. Often you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even putting their feet up on the desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be offensive. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and relaxed.A visitor to the United States should, therefore, understand that being in a great hurry does not show unfriendliness, and being relaxed and being at ease does not show a lack of respect. Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at lust may seem strange to a visitor. In time you will learn these new ways.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do many visitors think about the relaxed American style?17. Why do Americans often use first- names upon meeting a stranger?18. To whom do Americans use "Hi" and "Hello" in greeting?19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?20.

At present they are generally accepted, although not much on the basis of a closely reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right path. However, this does not mean that enough details are known about the functions of green space in towns and about the way in which inhabitants are using these spaces.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has resulted in unequal attention for forms of recreation far from home, at the same time there has been relatively little attention for improving recreation possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not spend in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have a creative element.The very best standard of living is nothing if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does the speaker say about the importance of green spaces in the urban environment?2. What has the theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation led to?3. According to the speaker, how should green space facilities be designed?4. According to the speaker, what does the urban environment have to offer?5. What is the main idea of the talk?Key: 1. (B) 2. (A) 3. (C) 4. (A) 5. (D)Passage 2The Chinese government's plan to put environmental concerns into national and local economic development planning is based on its confidence and strong commitment to the concept of managed development. While keeping a close eye and a heavy hand on existing polluters, the officials have put more attention on prevention.In addition to a recent official statement encouraging environmentally friendly technology and industries, the National Environmental Protection Agency issued a united order with Ministry of Supervision demanding that local officials immediately stop financing heavily polluting businesses. The move is to prevent township factories from further damaging t~ environment.But shutting down polluting factories is only part of the solution. There must be appropriate technological and financial instruments to facilitate environmentally friendly development.The United Nations General Assembly will hold a special meeting later this month to review the process of managed development worldwide. The Chinese hope to see stronger commitment from the world community for international working together in the fight to protect our common natural surroundings. No single country can save the environment alone.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the talk you have just heard.6. What is the speaker mainly discussing?7. What does the speaker say about the Chinese government's plan?8. According to the talk, what is demanded of local officials toward the polluting businesses?9.

(C) 8. (C) 9. (B) 10. (B)Passage 3Inland waters may be grouped into two general classes: standing waters and flowing waters. As is often the case, the boundary between these two classes is not sharp and clear. A pond is an example of standing water. But most ponds are fed by springs or brooks and most have an exit. Thus, some current of changing water flows through them. On the other hand, a river is an example of flowing water. In some places, however, a river may have such a slow current that is very difficult to notice.。

He informed her that the patient’s condition was serious and the only chance for survival was a brain transplant. It was an experimental procedure and might work, but would cost a lot. The daughter asked how much a brain would cost and was told that the price varied according to sex. She asked why there was a difference in price between male and female brains.

After that, act it out in class.Surgeon: Things don’t look good.The patient’s daughter: How serious is it?Surgeon: Well, the only chance is a brain transplant.The patient’s daughter: Are you sure of that?Surgeon: This is an experimental procedure.

The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of the firefighters as they battled the blaze.When the photographer arrived, he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would make it impossible for him to photograph anything from ground level.He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved, and arrangements were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport, where a plane would be waiting for him.He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the gate.He jumped in with his bag and shouted, “Let’s go!”The pilot swung the little plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air.The photographer said, “Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures.”“Why?” asked the pilot.“Because I am a photographer,”he responded, “and photographers take photographs.”The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, “Y ou mean you’re not the flight instructor?”__T__ 1. The photographer was sent to cover the fires at Y ellowstone National Park. __F__ 2. When he arrived there, the photographer did not know what to do because the smoke was so thick.__ T__ 3. The photographer went to a nearby airport to rent a plane to take photos from the air.___F__ 4. The photographer jumped into the plane and flew it over the park.__ T__ 5. The photographer acted like a flight instructor while taking photos over the park.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.In trying to explain the existence of the complicated body structures we see in living things around us, a theory of evolution (进化) has been developed.While most scientists accept this theory, many people do not. They feel it goes against what is written in the Bible (圣经).This theory is that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler. These earlier forms developed from still simpler ancestors (祖先), and so on back through millions of years to the very beginning when life was in its simplest form,merely a tiny mass of jellylike (胶状的) protoplasm (原生质).In trying to prove that evolution did take place, scientists depend on three chief “signs.”One of these is the study of fossil (化石) remains of animals and plants of past ages. Some of these fossils seem to trace the step of evolution at work. Fossil remains of primitive (原始的) men have been found that go back toa time 1,000,000 years ago. Fossils of certain crablike (似蟹的) animals go backnearly 500,000,000 years. These fossils show that fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians (两栖动物), amphibians before reptiles (爬行动物), reptiles before birds, and so on. Scientists believe this proves life has progressed from one form to another .9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questions orally.1.Why do complicated body structures exist according toscientists?Because of evolution.2. Why is the theory of evolution acceptable to most scientists?Because it proves that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler.3. Why do scientists study fossil remains?Because they can prove that evolution did take place.4. What do these fossils show?That fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians, amphibians before reptiles, reptiles before birds, and so on.5. What is the theory of evolution?A theory that proves that life has progressed from one form to another.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.It is more important to raise questions than to answer them.。

新视野大学英语读写教程第二册（第二版）Pre-reading听力原文Unit 1 第一单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 2 第二单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesWhen I think back about the many people who have influenced me during my life, I often think of one person who showed his passion through his commitment to my success. I think of my coach, the man who taught and inspired me not only how to run the mile as fast as I could, but also how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved. Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2. How to run the mile as fast as she could and how to work at something a little every day until greatness is achieved.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 3 第三单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesGail and Mark were from different cultural and racial background. They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be ma rrying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark was marrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable. After all, marriage across nations may have its problem of one kind or another.1. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be marrying for the wrong reason.2. Mark wanted to marry Gail so that he could remain in the United States.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 4 第四单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesI wrote a story about love, and I hope you like it. The story is about a young soldier who is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with. I suppose it’s a lot like my other stories in that it has a happy ending. Y ou might laugh at me for writing stories that are so sweet. But, you see, I am a deep believer in love, and I am hopeful about everyone finding it. Without love, I really don’t know what the purpose of living would be.4. He is waiting to see a woman he has fallen in love with.5. A happy ending.6. (Open-ended.)Unit 5第五单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesToday, I want to talk about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to red uce their access to tobacco products, andto restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follow s the child throughout his or her life.How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them? Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when the child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’wishes for their child.2. Three. Get opinions of people around.3. (Open-ended.)Unit 7 第七单元SECTION A Pre-reading ActivitiesStress can kill you. Being tense can damage your heart, so it is wise to take charge of your life and realize you cannot control everything. But you can control stress which is caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, and lack of control. Anger may also be the root of this stress, especially for hard-working professional women and people with no goals in life. To relax and take control of your life, try the NICE factors: new, interesting, challenging experiences. And follow Ben Franklin’s example by writing down the major goals you want to achieve in your life. For the problems over which you have no control, you have to learn to go with the flow.1.Stress can be caused by fear, uncertainty, doubt, lack of control, and anger..2.

We work hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much. We then will realize how much we have missed in life! Work definitely is not the whole of life. Work is meant to keep us living so that we enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the aim of human existence. So, live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!1.Our health, time with our family, the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.2. Happiness.3.

What I did have, though, was a supportive family, and with their help, I was able to become one of the top lawyers in the state of Floridaand then a Florida State Supreme Court Justice. And you know what? It wasn’t as hard as you may think. It started with a clear set of rules: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before and never give up. When I was younger, I didn’t always remember the rules myself, so my father had to remind me. After a while, though, the rules became habit and everything else sort of fell into place.1. He owed his success to his supportive family.2. The rules were: always get up early, always work hard, always do things honestly, always try to improve on the day before, and never give up.3.

Unit 8 听力原文Part ICAn easy way to remember how much we need to exercise for fitness is to keep in mind the letters F, I and T:Frequency --- 3 to 5 days a weekIntensity—till your heart rate reaches your target speedTime -15 to 60 minutes each timeThen you may ask how to work out your target heart speed range. Let's do it together.The upper limit of your target heart speed range is 190 minus your age.The lower limit is 160 minus your age.For someone who is 20 years old, for example, his target heart speed range would be between 140 beats per minute (160-20) and 170 beats per minute (19~20).Once you've got your target speed range, you may start checking whether your exercise gives you the fitness effect.First, warm up with five minutes for stretch exercises. Then start your energetic exercise (e.g. jogging). About 10 minutes after starting energetic exercise, stop and check your pulse rate (which is the same as your heart rate). Finally, count your pulse beats forl5 seconds and multiply by four.Remember to take your pulse rate as soon as you stop. If you wait even 30 seconds, the rate will have begun to slow and will not be accurate.You are getting the fitness effect if your pulse rate is in your target heart speed range.Part II The digestive system and diarrheaAEvery now and again, a stressful situation may arise the course of our school, home or community life. Often, the situation involves disagreements between people.Sometimes, the situation involves work difficulties—not knowing how to solve a problem or having to make a difficult decision. At other times, it involves money—not having enough to spend or disagreement over what to spend on.That is why relationship problems, work-related problems and money problems are three well-known situations that cause stress. So knowing how to handle people, learning how to solve problems or make decisions, and living within our income all help to control stress.Here are four ways to help you control stress from situations.Clue #1: Be kind, loving and polite to your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. Make time to talk, play and relax together.Clue #2: Treat others the way you would like them to treat you. Smile, chat, laugh and do things together. Learn to cooperate, share and make sacrifices for others.Clue #3: Do not keep your worries to yourself. Talk them over with someone you respect. Two heads are better than one.Clue #4: Think of the good and bad points of each choice. Be guided by facts and not your feelings. Choose together with the people who will be affected by the results. In this way, they will see how the choice is made and be more willing to bear with the bad points.CThere are many explanations of why people catch colds. Some say colds are caused by the environment. Others say colds can result from smoking too much, lack of exercise, not enoughrest, poor diet, or working too hard. But new studies suggest that people who feel extreme tension for a long period of time also may be at a higher risk of developing a cold. The researchers note that stress is not the cause of all colds. But studies show that people who suffer from the stress caused by serious personal problems are more likely to get sick than those who do not.Researchers have spent years trying to find out why some people have colds more often than others. An earlier study directed in 1991 showed that emotional stress can lead to colds. In current studies, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh studied almost 300 people, ages 18 to 55. They were given physical, social and mental and emotional examinations. Then live cold viruses were placed in their noses. During the next five days, they were examined to find out who became infected by the virus and then developed signs of a Cold. Such signs include coughing, sneezing and a blocked nose. Stress lowers resistance, but just how it does is unknown. So in this study, the researchers look for the kinds of stress involved and how they might have affected resistance to colds. The study found that severe stress lasting a month or more increased the risk of a cold. Two causes of stress—losing a job or having difficulties with family members or friends—increase the risk the most.Part III “So you wanna keep fit, huh?”Exercise keeps you fit and healthy. Exercises should be done three to five times a week. Exercise for at least 15 to 30 minutes each time. However, a good exercise plan should include warming-up exercises before and cool-down exercises after vigorous activity. Both of them should last five to ten minutes. These exercises, such as head tilt, arm circles, side bend and toe touch, stretch your muscles and make them move more easily. They prepare you for vigorous activity and help your body slowly return to its normal breathing and heart rate after vigorous activity. And here comes Crystal Collins.Hi there! I'm Crystal Collins, and I'm very happy to share some time with you. So, you wanna keep fit, huh? Well, you sure came to the right place! Together we can keep fit and healthy, and be more successful. It's easy. Everybody can do it, you hear?Just remember the five golden rules:Number one. Always wear loose and comfortable clothes when you're exercising. You need to feel comfortable and relaxed.Number two. You should always do some simple warming-up exercises first. To get your body ready for the real thing.Number three. Never try to do too much exercise too soon. Take it nice and easy now, you hear? There's no rush about this.Number four. Don't forget to relax completely for about five minutes when you've finished your-workout. You need to rest a little bit after you've been exercising.And here is golden rule number five. Stop immediately if you feel any pain in your chest, throat, neck or head.Part ⅣMore about the topic: Subhealthstressed out: very tense and anxious because of difficulties in their lives. (INFORMAL) 紧张的,有压力的borderline: the point at which one quality, situation, emotion etc ends and another begins.i.e. She slipped over the borderline into sleep.exposure: when someone is in a situation where they are not protected from something dangerous or unpleasant.exposure toi.e. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer.fatigue: a feeling of extreme physical or mental tiredness. 疲倦,疲乏,疲劳endocrinopathy: [endəukrai'nɔpəθi] n. [医]内分泌病neurasthenia: [njuərəs'θi:niə] n. 神经衰弱症climacteric: [klai'mæktərik] 更年期insomnia: Someone who suffers from insomnia finds it difficult to sleep.agitation: If someone is in a state of agitation, they are very worried or upset, and show this in their behavior, movements, or voice.不安，焦虑cardiovascular: [kɑ:diəu'væskjulə] adj. 心脏血管的palpitations: /pælpɪ'teɪʃənz/ n [plural] if you have palpitations, your heart beats quickly in an irregular way急速不规则的跳动;心悸arrhythmia: [ə'riθmiə]名词‘医’心律不整; 心脏跳动不规则aquatic: living or growing in water, e.g. an aquatic planttrace element: a chemical element such as iron or zinc that occurs in very small amounts in living things and is necessary for normal growth and development. ‘生物’(动植物所不可欠缺的) 微量元素indispensable: essential; too important to be without: Cars have become an indispensable part of our lives.digestive tract: 消化道Feeling 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 may appear. 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.Part V Memory test: How to Keep Your Liver HealthyThe liver does so much for your body that without it, you wouldn’t last longer than 24 hours. Its functions are so vital that if it falls into poor health, the rest of your body falls into poor health. In this video, we’re going to discuss in greater detail how to keep your liver healthy because a happier liver means a happier you. If you like to drink, be sure to do so in moderation. Drink aslittle as possible although one glass of red wine a day is acceptable and can even help your body. However, avoid hard liquors such as scotch, whiskey and vodka, which actually cause the most damage to your liver. Eat liver-healthy foods. Now we will be going to much more detail on healthy liver foods, liver diets and even liver cleanses in later videos, but it’s important that you eat foods rich in antioxidants such as kale, spinach, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. These foods will help your liver detoxify damaging chemicals that are currently in your body. Drink lots of water. Water is a great natural detoxifier. Water will flush toxins from your body, and give your liver a much needed break. This next suggestion can be tough for many, but by cutting down caffeine-rich stimulants, such as coffee, soda and tea, will also reduce the amount of work your liver has to put into removing toxins in your body as well. Exercise regularly, even if it’s lightly. Getting out and exercise regularly increases liver activity by causing you to sweat and get your liver to push toxins out as you do. It’s like a jumpstart for your liver. Exercise does much more for you and your body beyond a healthy liver and is always a good idea if you want to stay healthy.。

Now for my next famous person ...Part II Slumdog MillionaireSlumdog Millionaire is a 2000 British drama film. Set andfilmed in India, the film tells the story of Jamal Malik, ayoung man from the Juhu slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and exceedspeople's expectations, thereby arousing the suspicions ofcheating. It was widely acclaimed, being praised for its plot, soundtrack and directing. It was nominated for 10 AcademyAwards in 2009, winning eight, including Best Picture, BestDirector, and Best Adapted Screenplay.A Listen to the first news report broadcasted when Slumdog Millionaire won 10 Academy Award nominations. Note down thekey words in the notes column. Then complete the storyline of the movie.Audioscript:One of the strongest contenders for the Best Picture Oscarthis year is Slumdog Millionaire.Set in Mumbai, India,it is a story about destiny.Jamal Malik, a young man from the slums,becomes a contestant on the Indian reality show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Based on itsAmerican equivalent,the Indian show offers 20 million rupees ($400 000) to the winner.Few expected this independent production directed byfilmmaker Danny Boyle to make it to the Oscars. But Slumdogis no longer an underdog. It has won viewers' hearts and gained critical acclaim. With ten Academy Award nominations, it isa serious Oscar contender. (Movie) Host: Jamal Malik, you 're absolutely right!Jamal Malik is not knowledgeable. He just happens to know the answers to the specific questions he's been asked. Eachquestion is somehow related to an event that has defined hislife.With their mother dead, Jamal and his brother Salim begin tosteal, trade and sleep wherever they can to survive.But the defining momentin Jamal's life is when an orphan girl named Latika tags along with them.Latika is taken by gangsters and Jamal will not restuntil he sees her again.Years later, as a young adult, he finds her at a gangster'shouse. She is locked up, and her only pastime is the IndianTV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Jamal gets on the showso she can watch him. (Movie) Two of the musketeers are called Athos and Porthos. What was the name of the third musketeer Danny: I'd like to phone a friend. Host: Here we go. Latika: Hello.Latika answers the phone. When they were kids, she was thethird musketeer. Jamal and Salim were Athos and Porthos.Director Danny Boyle's love story is influenced by Bollywood where everything is extreme.Like most Indian films, Slumdog Millionaire offers up all-consuming passion, tear-jerking drama and a happy ending. The film's dynamic music and vivid colors enhance the emotions. Its fairytale quality does not undermine Danny Boyle's grittylook at today's India, a country of extremes itself. (Movie)Danny: Latika.Slumdog Millionaire 's exuberance is contagious. Weleave the theater love-struck, exhilarated.And, as in Jamal's case, we can't help but root for the Oscar nominee regardless of the odds.Now listen to the second news report broadcasted on the daywhen Slumdog Millionaire finally earned 8 Oscars. After listening, match the awards with the corresponding names. Audioscript:Slumdog Millionaire was expected to win big. And, it did,earning Oscars for its cinematography, film editing, soundmixing, and bringing two of the golden statuettes to composer A. R. Rahman for his score and an original song.Steven Spielberg announced the top award of the evening."And, the Oscar goes to SlumdogMillionaire , Christian Colson, producer."The man behind the movie, Danny Boyle, was named best director.Slumdog Millionaire was a collaboration between the British filmmaker, an Indian cast and crew and a Hollywood distributor. Backstage, Boyle said joint efforts like this will becomemore common."You know, there's all sorts of people gonna work there.These things are gonna come together. The world's shrinking a bitin a ... in a wonderful way and it will benefit from it because, in ... in culture, fusion is a wonderful thing."The film is set in the slums of Mumbai and features twoprofessional actors with a cast of unknown youngsters fromthe Mumbai slums. Young cast members came to Hollywood forthe Oscars.The story revolves around a teenager who hopes to win richeson a quiz show. Writer Simon Beaufoy, who won an Oscar forhis adapted screenplay, says the story is appropriate in a recession."A film comes out that is ostensibly about being a millionaire, and actually what it's about is, it's a film that says thereare more important things than money. There's love and faithand your family, and that struck a chord with people, I think, right now."Part III Karen Kain -- a Canadian ballerinaThe beautiful prima ballerina of the National Ballet of Canada, Karen Kain,was for five years the partner of Rudolph Nureyev and has danced most of the major classical ballet roles allover the world, since her debut in the demanding role ofOdile/Odette in Swan Lake at the age of nineteen. She was bornin Hamilton, Ontario, not far from Toronto, the home of theNational Ballet of Canada. She and her husband now live in Cabbagetown, one of the oldest districts in central Toronto. In this section, you are going to hear an interview duringwhich Karen Kain, a Canadian ballerina, talks about her work and how she first became interested in the ballet. Whilelistening for the first time, add more key words in the leftcolumn. After the second listening, answer the questions.Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of theinterview and then do the multiple choice.Audioscript: Well, I actually she founded the National Ballet saw Celia Franka dance, and now of Canada. And she was dancingin my hometown -- Giselle, and I was taken for my birthday,and I saw her dance, (I) fell in love with it, and I startedtaking ballet lessons, and then at one point ... I think itwas around ten ...my teacher said that I should audition for the National Ballet School, which is a full-time academic and ballet training facility here in Toronto. It's one of (I)think it's the only one in North America. I mean, it's thesame set-up as the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi, the Leningrad ... you know, that they have the school affiliated with theCompany. And you take all your academic training as wellas your dance training. So she told me that I should auditionfor that, and I did. And when I was eleven years old I went tothe ballet school for seven years till I was eighteen,graduated from high school and I joined the National Ballet.Now you were married fairly recently, weren't you It'll bethree years next month, yes. Is touring and so forth hard onmarried life I believe your husband's an actor, isn't he Yes, he is. So you're probably both away quite a lot. We've beenvery fortunate. We've managed to stay together most of thetime. The longest we were separated was when I was on tourwith the National Ballet in Europe last spring, and I was gone for six weeks, and he was making a television series and hewas in Australia for six weeks. So we have been separated afew times,but most of the time we manageto be together.We've just been very fortunate. Throughout the year ... how muchtime do you have off away from the dance Very little. I'mtrying to make sure that I get one week in June this year,because I have not had more than two days free since a yearago January. So I've been working very very hard, and I feelthat I really need one week free,you know. TomBoyd: Howlong can a ballerina go on before she should start thinking ofretiring I hope that I have another ten years at the most todance. TomBoyd: What would you do after that Would you leave the ballet completely or go into teaching, or choreographyI don't think choreography, I don't think I have any talentin ... you know ... I have no desire, no talent. I like toteach, I like to coach young dancers. I don't think I wouldleave the ballet world entirely,but I may try something else. You never know. I'm interested in other things and I have done some sorts of musical comedy work, and I've enjoyed it verymuch -- just to expand myself a little and to look around.And this Christmas again I'll be playing Cinderella in anEnglish pantomime -- which is great fun for me. I really have fun and it's not serious dancing,you know, and I get to speakand act and everything. So I don't know. I would also liketo have a family, so I have lots of things that I may do.Part IV More about the topic:Beethoven VBeethoven was a Germancomposer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. His best known compositionsinclude9 symphnies, 5 concertos for piano,32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets. The Symphony No. 5 in C minor waswritten in 1804 - 1808. It is one of the most frequently played symphonies.Listen to the recording. Learn to appreciate Beethoven'sFifth Symphony with the speakers. While listening,complete the following outline.Audioscript:"" The most famous four-note sequence in music, instantly recognizable to us today as Beethoven's Fifth and full of associations. Fate knocking at the door. "V" for victory. But how must it have sounded to that original audience Beethovenpresented it as pure music. No clue to its significance ormeaning. Well, Beethoven, as a personality,was so tricky and so uncouth in so many ways, and had such a difficult,troubled childhood, that the adult that gave us some of these pieceswas a man so often at odds with the world around him. Bornin poverty in the German town of Bonn, he was bullied as achild by his alcoholic father and in his 20s realized he wasgoing deaf, surely the crudest of tragedies for a musician.But Beethoven was a man with a will of iron, and, in the Fifth, he harnesses the power of the orchestra to an insistent propulsive rhythm, forcing the symphony to articulate the profoundest personal drama. Host: The story of a soul struggling against implacable fate and emerging incandescently victorious. One of the great contrasts available to a composer are the contrasts of darkness and lightness. And in his Fifth Symphony, builds up from hesitant darkness into the radiant blaze of optimism, confidence, whatever. Now he does this through the simplest of means. Atthe end of the third movement, which is the rather shadowy,dark scherzo, his plan is to burst us into the light withoutstopping. Now he does this by making the orchestra play asquietly as it can, all the strings just plucking very, veryquietly. Then comes the heartbeat of the drum, very, very quietand distant and the strings just moving up and down, uncertainabout which way they're going to go. And then suddenly, very quickly, the whole orchestra comes in, and, without stopping,we burst into the final movement. This is in the major key.Lights full on, after lights hardly on at all. The symphony is a masterpiece of storytelling without words. When the French Revolution erupted, Beethoven was a teenager, struggling tosupport his family after the deathof their mother, and the concept of individual liberty became a lifelong issue. And we, the listeners, are compelled toshare his battle against fate. Although Beethoven wanted towrite something that was comprehensible at first hearing,he wasn't writing simply to give pleasure. He wanted it to be apotentially life-changing experience, music that wouldresonate in the mind long after the last note had sounded.Part V Do you know ...What is a musical According to one definition,it is a stage, television or film production utilizing popular-style songs and dialogue to either tell a story and/or showcase thetalents of varied performers. Musicals are not just written-- they are collaborative creations that are put togetherpiece by piece. Then what is the Broadway musical Whenwas it bornA Spot dictation. Listen to a passage about the birth of theBroadway musical. Fill in the blanks with the words you hear. Audioscript:Most scholars believe that The Black Crook in 1866 marked the beginning of the musical comedy, integrating music, dance and comedy, with an emphasis on beautiful women and spectacular scenery. But it was during World War One and after, that themusical developed as a uniquely American idiom.Song-and-dance manGeorge M. Cohan exploited Americans' sense of patriotism, moving away from European influences. In the1920s. songwriters who include Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, broughtthe musical to maturity with their meticulous crafting ofmusic and lyrics to create the American popular song.The modern musical was born in 1943 with Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma, which revolutionized the way dance, music and dialogue were used to develop the plot andcharacters. Other songwriters of the 1940s, 50s and 60s capitalized on that winning formula to write so many hitmusicals, that that era is now referred to as "Broadway'sGolden Age." Since then, American musicals have beentranslated and produced on stages all over the world. Themusic has becomea mainstay amongvocalists and jazz musicians, making clear the expression that the music of Broadway is truly "America's classic music."Foreigners call Americans Yankees. Southerners say thatYankees are Northerners. Northerners say that Yankees arefrom the New England states. People in New England say it isthe Vermonters who are Yankees. Vermonters reply that a Yankee is just someone who eats pie for breakfast. It seems that the origin of this term defies detection.B1 Listen to the passage. Focus on what the word "Yankee"refers to at different times. Supply the missing information.B2 Now listen to the passage again. Complete the summary.Our question this week asks about the song Yankee Doodle. To explain, we must go back more than 200 years. The American colonies had not yet won independence from England. The British used the word "Yankee" to describe colonists in thenortheast part of America. That area was known as NewEngland. After the War for Independence, the British used the word tomean all Americans. And during both World WarsAmerican soldiers were known as Yankees or just Yanks.That was the song Yankee Doodle. History experts do not know exactly when it was written. Someresearch shows the date may have been during the 1750s. Many stories say a British armydoctor wrote the song when England was fighting the Frenchand the Indians in North America. There is little confirmationof these stories. Wedo know, however, that Yankee Doodle was sung by the British to make the colonial people of NorthAmerica look foolish. And we know the song became popularamong the colonists themselves. Many knew at least some ofthe words.The British continued to use the song to make Yankees lookfoolish until the early days of the War for Independence inthe 1770s. Stories say, British soldiers marching out of the city of Boston stepped in time to the music of Yankee Doodle. Those same soldiers were defeated by colonial troops at thetown of Concord singing the same song. Since then,Yankee Doodle has been a song that represents the United States.Part VII Watch and enjoyMagic is a performing art that e ntertains audiences by staging tricks or creating illusions of seemingly impossible orsupernatural feats using natural means.

(B)Part ThreePassageChildren must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life, work, leisure, personal relationships, creative activities, coping with money matters, independents and parenthood However, it would be unrealistic to provide an education which took no account of the needs of employers.Many young people applying for jobs were, in employer's opinion, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the students' general ability, a report states, “in basic skill the standards remained low.”It is doubtful whether standards have declined in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standards is now high enough.We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. The girls would have once become shopassistance or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship 20 years ago now desire to an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree or ability.Many employers believe that it was important for teachers to have experienced outside the world of college and school. The teaching profession and society in general needed a greater understanding of manpower needs and therefore of "the desired" direction of the education system.Questions:1.Which statement is true according to the passage? (D)2.Which aim should education reach? (B)3.According to the employers， which of the following basicskills is not mentioned? (D)4.Which was girls' desired job in past years? (A)5. What do many employers think about teachers? (C)Part Four true or falseChoosing a career is not easy. Choosing a wrong career can lead to stress, financial cost and misery. Some people have three or four careers during their lives. Until you find a career that calls to you, you may feel dissatisfied, uncertain,and lost. Many people have these commin feelings.To begin your discovery process you need to look at your personal values and interests. Clarify what you want from life and look at the job market. Finding a match between what you enjoy doing and what needs doing is the solution.A career that is not personally satisfying reflects a basic conflict within yourself. You may think the conflict is caused by your career to begin with, and that if you change your career, the conflict will go away. But you can not pick the right career without first resolving your inner conflict.The conflict has caused you to pick the wrong career to begin with and now cause work dissatisfaction. Changing career starts with resolving self-conflict, and if you do not find a resolution, dissatisfaction will grow, and show up again in whatever you choose to do next.1. Many people feel dissatisfied and uncertain before findinga right job. (T)2. The last step of finding a career is to look at your personal values and interests. (F)3. The conflicts will always go with you, no matter what kind of job you take. (F)4. You can not pick the right career until you resolve you innerconflict. (T)5. Choosing a right career is far from easy. (T)Part FiveIf you are finding it tough to find a job, try to expand your(1)job-hunting plan to include the following tactics: first,you should (2)set your target, and make sure what you want in a job.Second, you can use (3)every possible method to getinterviews--answering ads, (4)using search firms, contactingcompanies directly, and (5)surfing the Web. Even if a job isnot perfect for you, every interview can approached as (6)apositive experience. Third, someone may not hair you after theinterview, but you should write him or her (7)a thank--you notefor the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another briefletter (8)to explain that you still have not found the perfectposition and that (9)you will be available to interview againif the original position you applied for is open. (10)Do thiswith every position you interview for, and you may just catchthe chance.Part SixTime of pleasureAt the entrance to a big office in London there was a book which all employees had to sign when they arrived each morning. At nine o'clock, the manager's secretary who lived in a small flat above the office, had to draw a red line under the last name in the book, and anyone who came after that had to explain why he was late.When there was a thick fog in the city, the first person to arrive late usually wrote “delayed by fog” under the red line in the book. And then everybody else who came after that just put “the same” underneath.But one fog morning, the first man to arrive late wrote "my wife had a baby early in this morning" instead of “Delayed by fog” under the red line in the book. 20 or 30 people who came after him put "ditto" underneath this as usual.Questions:1.What did the employee usually do each morning?All employees had to sign the book when they arrived each morning.2.What should the employee do if he or she was late?They had to explain why they were late.3.What excuse did the employees often use?They often use "Delayed by fog".4.What happened one fog morning?The first man who arrived late wrote "my wife had a baby early in this morning" instead of "Delayed by fog" under the red line in the book. 20 or 30 people who came after him put "ditto" underneath this as usual.5.Where did the story probably take place?It was a big office in London .Unit 8 THE DAYS WE CELEBRATEPart two1.W: What happened to you?

Unit One Colorful Life on CampusⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 2 a part-time job (an on-campus job); clubs; other organizations■Script：If you are attending college on a tight budget, you will most likely want a part-time job to ease your daily living expenses. Living on campus makes access to an on-campus job much easier as you will be only minutes away from your job. You don’t have to worry about driving to a job and days when there is bad weather. You will make that extra bit of cash while meeting and interacting new people.Living on campus will give you the ability to take part in many clubs and organizations. This can include organizations that focus on education, cultural diversity, gender issues, recreational activities, spiritual activities, political clubs, sports activities, and much more. As well, the convenience of living on campus makes it more likely that you will participate in clubs and other organizations. Most colleges also have various college sports teams that one can try out for. Campus life is a unique experience that one should take full advantage of before they actually get out in the work world where they will have their whole lives to be fully independent.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding News ReportsNews Item One1. C2. DNews Item Two1. B2. DNews Item Three1. B2. B3. C■ScriptNews Item OneQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve chi ldren’s ability to learn or their performance in school. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there’s one thing musical training does not do. They say it does not make children more intelligent.Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard’s School of Education. He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child’s intellectual development.He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class, and the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen. The result is that they found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes. Questions:1. What have the researchers at Harvard University found?2. Who participated in the studies conducted by Samuel Mehr?News Item TwoQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.American colleges face what some people are calling a “perfect storm” of problems: college costs are rising, and there are not enough jobs for all those completing study programs. Yet employers say they cannot find enough workers with technical skills.One solution may be found in the growing number and quality of online classes, such classes might revolutionize colleges the way the Internet has already changed music, publishing, sales, and other businesses.“This is pretty amazing.” That is David Evans of the University of Virginia. He is teaching a Computer Science class on the Internet.Many top universities now offer online classes; they teach everything from computer programming to the science of cooking. Many classes are at little or no cost, they are restructured more often than traditional college programs.Questions:1. Which of the following is not mentioned as the problems American colleges face?2. What do we learn about online classes from the news report?News Item ThreeQuestions 1 to 3 will be based on the following news item.Nigeria has one of the world’s highest rates of people who cannot read or write, but a government agency is taking steps to help more than 400,000 Nigerians in Kano state become literate.Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike reported on the situation last September. The minister said the number of illiterate Nigerian adults has increased by 10 million over the past 20 years, the current total is 35 million; the nation also has more than 10 million children who are not in school.To improve that situation, Kano’s educational agency has joined with Education for All (EFA), a project of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Working together, they have launched more than 8,074 adult literacy classes in 44 local government councils. The effort is expected to reach about 403,700 people. Success would mean a 90 percent adult literacy level by 2015.Questions:1. What is the news report mainly about?2.

There is the rent, utilities, and you’d probably need a car.W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The dorm is just so noisy that I can’t get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.M: You should study in the library the way I do.

But first, I want to register for classes.M: When can you do that?W: Well, they sent me their prospectus, so I can start looking now. Do you want to help me decide which classes to take?M: Sure. What can you choose from?W: Well, I have to take all the foundation courses, plus a few from my major.M: What is your major?W: I hope to major in English literature, but the admissions counselor told me that many people change their major many times in their first year, so we will see.M: What are the fundamental courses?W: In order to graduate, every student must take a certain amount of classes in history, math, English, philosophy, science and art.M: I nteresting.

B4. C5. D■ScriptListening for general comprehensionYour student ID can be a very powerful tool when it comes to retail shopping. Think about all of the things you have bought in college. Was one of them a computer? Have you gone to see a movie lately? All of these things, and many more, become more affordable by simply presenting your student ID when you get to the register.Apple is a company bursting into the lives of college students everywhere through its numerous electronic devices. When you go to buy a computer and some other items as well, Apple will take money off the bill if you just tell them that you are a college student. They even make it so that you can shop with your student discount right on their website; all you have to do is findyour school in their database.You can also try your local movie theater to see if they offer a student discount. Often, the bigger chain cinemas will have a program to save you a couple dollars when you go see a movie. Museums will typically cut you a break as well. You can often find reduced admission to museums, and you can also check to see if your school has a membership with them, as this can allow you to even get in for free.Being a college student doesn’t have to mean that you can’t afford to buy or do nice things.

D2. B3. A4. A5. B■ScriptListening for general comprehensionThe campus of a large American university resembles a small city. With stores, restaurants, and banks, most can meet your most immediate needs. Many campuses also offer numerous forms of entertainment, including sporting events, live theater, movies, and concerts. Typically, the larger the institution, the more activities it supports.Universities also have a wide variety of support services available to their students, and to international students in particular. Some provide assistance in finding housing and childcare facilities or in improving your spoken or written English. They may have on-campus healthcare facilities and provide information on current health issues and health insurance. You may also be able to get advice on tax issues and personal or career counseling.Figuring out where to go for specific needs can be confusing, especially at larger institutions—but it’s worth it to pursue the information you ne ed. Knowing who to go to for information is a great place to start if you’re a bit lost. Departmental secretaries are often a fount of information, as are international student advisers, graduate student government officers, and graduate school staff.Most universities have an office for international students to provide orientation and information about vital services, such as healthcare and health insurance. However, sometimes the best source of information in graduate school is other students. Talking with other students mayhelp you realize that your struggles are also faced by many other graduate students. Your peers may have already dealt with and found solutions to the adjustment concerns typical of graduate student life.Listening for specific informationQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.

C■ScriptListening for general comprehensionIn recent years, a degree from an elite university has become more important for getting a good job, and as a result competition for entering these universities has become more intense in America.America’s college admission process is very different from China’s examination system. Rather than relying only on test scores to determine college admission, most American colleges consider several factors in making the decision. In addition to test scores, these factors include grades from high school, high school activities, letters of recommendation from teachers and an interview. Students are also often asked to write essays that describe themselves, their experiences and their goals for the future. American colleges feel that this system gives them an overall picture of the applicant’s character. This system can be complicated and it is the source of much worry among American high school students and their parents.Another factor worrying students and their parents is the rising cost of sending their children to college. The cost of college education has risen higher than that of inflation for over twenty years. In addition, the government aid for college tuition has decreased severely in recent years. The elite private universities are the most expensive, and many families are worried that they will not be able to afford an education that will help their children get a good job in the future. Such universities often seek private donations so that they can give scholarships to students who are qualified but cannot afford the high tuition rates. The number of private scholarship available has increased in recent years, but paying for college is likely to remain one of the financial burdens that American families must bear.Listening for specific information1.

Here are some suggestions you could use.Write a nice card for your friend telling them how much you appreciate their friendship. Spill out your heart to them as though there is no tomorrow. Or you could send them a Happy Friendship Day greeting online to brighten their day.Also, you may buy or make them a small present—flowers, chocolates, friendship bands, a cake, a dream catcher, friendship journal or anything that catches your imagination! Consider leaving the gift anonymously for added intrigue! One of the greatest gifts you can make your friend is a mixed CD of all the songs that define your friendship or ones that you just happen to mutually like!For your best friends, plan a special day together. A picnic is always a fun idea, and great for all ages. If you’re physically-inclined, try an activity such as bowling, golf, rollerblading, cricket or going to the beach. Remember, there’s no just one way to celebrate this great relationship, anything that demonstrates your love for them will do perfectly.Ⅱ.

I can call some people… maybe Friday night, okay?M: Actually, I’m trying to avoid that sort of thing. I would like to see everyone before I go, but I really don’t think I have time.W: By the way, what do you plan to do when you go back?M: Well, by the time I leave Hong Kong I’ll be broke, so I’ll probably have to look for some work when I get home.

Three.Listening for specific comprehension1. A2. B3. D4. C5. C■ScriptListening for general informationThere are as many reasons for ending a friendship as there are for starting one. Think about how you feel when you are around this person. Do they put you down? Do they annoy you? Assess clearly why you no longer want this person in your life and be firm in your decision.If you are dumping a friend because they are unreliable, the easiest solution is to gradually cut them out of your life. If he or she never makes time for you then they probably won’t notice that you are not making time for them either. People who don’t value your time do not value you; leave them out of your life. If you have dec ided that you want to dump a friend because you don’t want to share their lifestyle, then you need to make yourself very clear. You need to set clear boundaries. And if the person has committed some unforgivable mistakes, you also need to speak up. You need to clearly explain that whatever they did was unacceptable and you cannot pretend that it did not happen. You need to tell them that this was not OK and the friendships can no longer move on.It might be tempting to give someone the silent treatment, but remember that everything that seems self-evident to you is not always equally obvious to others. The other person might not even know that they hurt your feelings! If someone’s behavior is really bothering you and they are more than a casual acquaintance, you should carefully but surely speak up.Listening for specific comprehension1.

B■ScriptListening for general informationMany students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practicing their language skills and learning more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could write each other letters. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationship is called key pals.However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet. Beloware several tips you could use when looking for friends online. First, search the Internet for reputable services. Look for reviews of such sites to learn more about other stu dents’ experiences. Don’t join a service until you have done your research. Second, check to see if you can use a nickname, rather than your real name, to protect your identity. Third, never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday. Fourth, stop contacting with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of the conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforcement if problems arise. Last but not least, try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communications with others. Ask appropriate questions that will also help you learn about other cultures.Listening for specific comprehension1.

A■ScriptListening for general comprehensionSometimes we have a fight with a friend. You just seem to argue, and then stop talking to each other. Time goes by and you realize that you miss the friendship, and wish you could talk to your friend again. If so, the following tips may be helpful.Tip one: It’s always better to let the argument simmer a little before confronting the person. If you talk right after the fight, many things are said out of anger.Tip two: Allowing bad feelings to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes more difficult to make up. So after the fight calms down, make sure you talk to the person before it’s too late.Tip three: It’s okay to be the first to give in and apologize. The other person probably wants to do it too, but it shows your courage and that you are a dedicated friend. Yet, if you’re constantly in fights and always making up first, then take time to reconsider if this person is really a friend.Tip four: If the friends are unforgiving then try to look back and see what you could have done. Read past emails, chats and something like that. This will help you understand their point of view.Listening for specific comprehension1. What should one do right after the fight with a friend according to the speaker?2. What will be the result of waiting too long after the fight with a friend?。

WhenKate: Two weeks' time ...Interviewer: So what made you decide to study law, KateKate: A number of reasons. Law interests me a lot. I've got a good brain, a good memory.

I start at the end of June.Janet: Well done!Unit 8-Outside viewEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.Unit 8-Listening inNews reportA survey of more than 14,000 UK residents has revealed that being an author is the most desired job in Britain. Sixty per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is £11,000, which is less than the minimum incom e. Librarians make between £19,500 and £29,500 annually,depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news reportPassage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all goingSpeaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1 It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for youSpeaker2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's havea look atyour file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades,you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on trackfor a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea whatyou'd like to doSpeaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot ofnovels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be aliterary editorSpeaker 2 That's right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hardprofession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than justliterature. For example, there's educational publishing,professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing,such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thingbut... you get the idea.Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1 First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.Speaker 2 Right. How do I find out who to write to Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher's Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2 Thank you.Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2 I'll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they're quite romantic about it,but there are other departments - marketing, sales, and theproduction side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful.But it'sliterary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how youget on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, I was frightened I'd go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It's the grammar I find difficult, there's so much to cover.Jessica It's extraordinary, isn't it We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a teaching English course and discover we don't know anything.Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica Jessica Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan —Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really - the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time. Patrick So you're teaching English because you want to travel Jessica Yes, that's part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it's a good career.Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do nextJessica Marketing, I think. I'm going to do a year here, then -1 hope - get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job.

I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn. Harry.Harry Well, I'm not like you and Jessica. I'm just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.Jessica You don't see teaching English as a career Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry Harry I did a year's teaching in Brazil - Rio de Janeiro —such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.Patrick Cool. And thenHarry Two years in Mexico City ...Jessica You should be a travel writer.Harry I'm too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.Lucy Great!Harry Well, we're all giving our reasons forteaching English, so what's yours, LucyLucy Um -I think I'm going to really enjoy it, simple as that.
