it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression、Researchers also study psychological factors、They include the plex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress、 It is freeqently observed that low self esteem and selfdefeating thinking are connected with depression、While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and selfesteem、Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences、 Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and sever e physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life、Some present experiences may also lead to depression、Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression、 Longterm stress at home, work, or school can also be involved、It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibilityVI、Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”、 Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions、 Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason、However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion、 Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact、 The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world、 Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called“the heat of passion”、 The relation logic and emotion merits careful study、 Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason、This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an allornothing rejection or acceptance、 In suchareas of thought, human beings have to adopt a prehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion、Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure”decision or thought; that is, no thought is based“purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both、1、What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2、What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3、What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4、According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5、 What is the speaker’s conclusion?K eys: 1、A 2、B 3、C 4、C 5、DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed、 Are you feeling blue? I’ve e to cheer you up、Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up、 I’m down in the dumps、Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things、Ted: But I can’t、 I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down、Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time、 What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is ing, I get bored、Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard、 If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades、 You see, “no pain, no gain”、Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored、Pat: You have to learn some selfdiscipline、B u t how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache、 ThenI start to worry about passing the next exam、Pat: It’s all in your mind、 If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK、Ted: B u t how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things、Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining、 It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides、So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play、Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed、K eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control、 Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner、 In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run、 Somechoose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run、 Some may think running means you are a coward、But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger、 It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over、There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation、 First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act、 Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed、At that moment you should admit you are angry、 If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way、 You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up、 Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage、 If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution、News ReportU、S、 Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles、After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters、 At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour、The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train、 This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride、Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives、The plicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips、Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s ing up next, the element of surprise is high、 For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride、The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters、 The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meterslong, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time、At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour、The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives、Uint2II、 Basic Listening Practice3、ScriptW: Did you hear?

Could you tell us the secrets of your successful career? Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is "location, location, location", the golden rule of work is "relationships, relationships, relationships". Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat them with respect.Lillian: Could you give me more details?Baxter: Let's take Wendy as an example. She switched jobsseveral months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff's expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain. Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time? Although the financial department's offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visited them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company's chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. Thus the two forged a long-term alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company's offices inGermanyandJapan. Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it's far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Unit 4 let’s tallk 1Ayesha: In the newsroom you have about 16 reporters. The news reporters sit in one part of the room, and you have features on the other side of the room. I'm just going to see Kev, he's my news editor and he's gonna do a brief, basically brief me on a story that's happening later on. When I walk into my newsroom I don't know what to expect.

So we're really looking for a featurey sort of piece for tomorrow's paper.Ayesha: FrenchayHospital, which is one of our hospitals inBristol. They're celebrating their 10 years of this head injury unit, and we've been invited up. We're gonna obviously cover and take pictures, and I'm gonna get to speak to people. So he was really giving me guidelines.Kevin: You know when you're doing your interviews, speak to people in some detail about, you know, how they were injured in the first place, but then the treatment they've gone through. OK?Ayesha: Yeah. Excellent! Thank you!Well, I've just started writing up for my next, and just basically from the day. I've got to get something through, I think, by about four. Sometimes I come back and I've got so much going on in my hands. So I'm just trying to, sort of, just work it through. Deadlines are very stressful. But you have to meet them because it's important; it's part of what newspaper journalism is all about. You get used to it by getting the guidance, managing your time, but it's still scary. OK.

When you start, you're sort of earning, I think, about 150 to 180 pounds a week, which really isn't very much to live on. But then as you move up, you get more, so you're looking to get14,000 ayear, 15,000,16,000 ayear. And you know you're working really long hours, and it's hard work.OK thanks, bye.Waiting for phone calls and waiting for people to get back to you is really frustrating. Like today I had other things to keep me going and I was doing other things, but you know I've gotthis thing over my head because I know I've got to get this quote and I've got to keep chasing it and then while you're working on other stories whether they're bigger or smaller ones you know. It's very frustrating because you just want to get this done and out of the way, but it just doesn't happen.Journalism is just a, is a great career to go into because (there's) so much you can do. So you can stay in newspapers, you can go into radio, television—there's just so much out there, and I guess at the stage where I am—sort of just starting out, just really looking at what there is and what I will enjoy doing more.In 10 years I think I'd like to be an editor of a section of a national paper either here or abroad, 20 years, launching my own paper.Journalism is just fantastic because you don't know what's happening on a day-to-day basis. You meet so many different people and it just puts you in such a privileged position. And I just love it.

He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave,“Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice. “Dang it, I don’t have time!” the big man yells,(S10) “I got to get out of town!

Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Reason and EmotionScriptK eys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionK eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles. After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X”riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity,the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctor s also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year.

Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery. By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck.By comparison, in the previous year, women’s use of botox rose 60 percent while men’s fell 14 percent; women’s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men’s fell 19 percent; women’s use of fat injections fell17 percent and men’s fell 54 percent.6.

I hope you’ll find it interesting how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobes. Simple try the following suggestions on for size.First, you should make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, ad summer dress at the end of the season. You’ll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year. If you want clothes to wear right now, you can go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they’re perfect for buying things like T-shirtsThere is yet another cheap way of you to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have a store brand. It means they offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle for you to follow is to not buy “outfits”. With the exception of suits, interchangeable piece are more affordable—buying clothing in separate.Wear-with- anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress skirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories. If you can’t afford expensive clothes, you can spend money on accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags. Such extras make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When you hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Beauty Contests and Plastic SurgeriesScriptJuliana Borges, who was named “Miss Brazil”early on Tuesday, had plastic surgery four times and underwent 19 smaller operations. She was just one of many competitors who were determined to improve their appearance through surgery.“Plastic surgery make me more beautiful and gave me confidence in myself and the perfect measurement that won me this title,”said the beauty queen in a green dress, who was representing Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul.Borges, 22, had liposuction and had her chin, nose, and ears worked on, as well as, had her breasts enlarged.With the development of plastic surgery, more and more of Brazil’s would-be beauty queen are finding it easier to achieve the ideal measurements. These days, young hopefuls from the Amazon jungle to big cities in Brazil’s south are planning surgery.A third of the 27 finalists at the beauty contest went under the scalpel after rules were changed in the 1990s.The new rules permit plastic surgery, colored contact lenses, and hair dye at beauty contests.The organizers of the Miss Brazil contest said, “It’s a war out there, and all of the beauty tools that can be used should be used. Other countrieslike Venezuela paved the way, and Brazil is going to have to use those tools as well if it wants to com pete in Miss University beauty contests.”But Brazil’s love for plastic surgery is not limited to beauty contests.

If you’re trying to reach a weight-loss goal, a new hairstyle is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence. According to a popular hair stylist, clients often say, “I want to cut my hair, but I should lose weight first.”But that’s not the right sequence; it’s the other way around. You should know what hairstyle will flatter you the most, the style that will show off you particular feature to the best advantage even before you begin to lose weight.For example, many may want to follow a tread and wear long hair. But some may look better with shorter hair if they have a round face. “When it’s too long, it can drag your face down and actually bring attention to the features you don’t want to emphasize,” says Guy Riggio, a famous hair stylist in Los Angeles. How short is too short? That depends the length of your neck. Riggio says, “The longer the neck, the shorter you can go.”Some top stylists believe that women should stay clear of bangs. Thick bangs may be fashionable at times, but even thin bangs are hard to wear. “They change the shape of your face, making it seem shorter,” says New York hair stylist O’Connor. Instead, you should pull your hair away from your face. It will make your face look longer.Finally, pick a stylist who’s knowledge able and whose opinion can be trusted. Then have fun with the new style.For Reference:1. It is a quick and easy way to freshen up your looks—and boost your confidence2.

Miss World has until now been dominated by winner from Europe, the Americas, and India, the majority of them being Caucasian.The contestants in this pageant are judges in three different categories: beauty, grace, and charm; talent, poise, and personally; and figure and deportment.

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man,“If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3) drop everything and run for the hills! He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5)uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling,“Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he’s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall. He’s muscular, and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, “I want a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave,“Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice. “Dang it, I don’t have time!” the big man yells,(S10) “I got to get out of town! D on’t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling. To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.A nimals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition orreinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus lea r ning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limit ed to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals’goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1. Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2. According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food?3. Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many mode rn antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and sever e physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called“the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits carefulstudy. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based“purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3. What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4. According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?K eys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed.

Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored. Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”. Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.

Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed.K eys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventuallyexplode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,“What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles. After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X”riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loop s, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips. Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X”riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity,the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

They conducteddoor-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30 countries. They askedrespondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent ofAustralians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Followingthem in the "very happy" group was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent)and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of thehappiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "veryunhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are.Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lackof money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups orthe unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally,teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59.Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage.Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.Page 6 ——Task 3 BDAACVI.Further listening and speakingTask 1: Big John is coming!A bar owner in the Old West has just hired a timid bartender.

But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through townyelling, “Big John is coming to town! Run for your lives! ”When the bartender left the bar to start running, he was knocked to the ground by severaltownspeople rushing out of town. As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost sevenfeet tall. He was muscular, and was growling as he approached the bar.He steped up to the door, ordered the poor barkeep inside, and demanded, “I want a beer NOW! ”And with one strike of his heavy fist, he split the bar in half. The bartender nervously handed thebig man a beer, hands shaking. He took the beer, bit the top of the bottle off, and downed the beerin one gulp.As the terrif ied bartender hid behind the bar, the big man got up to leave, “Do you want another beer? ”the bartender asked in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don?t have time! ”the big man yelled, “I got to get out of town!

Didn ’t you hear Big John is coming?Task2: Reason and EmotionEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase suchas ”to emotions rather than reason ”a nd “don?ltet your emotions take over ”E.motional reactionssometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; butduring an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed thatone of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion andreason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason andemotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact.The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lieon a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is oftencalled “cold ”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related t o i c l o a g l agreement,which is called “the heat of passion ”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partlybacked by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchershave suggested that typically there is no “pure ” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely ””on intellectual logic or “puremlyos”t d e o c n i s e i o m n s o t a i o r n e fou—nded on a mixtureof both.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?What does the speaker mean by “cold “?According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?What is the speaker?s conclusion?Page 17 ——Task 2 ABCCDUnit2.Beauty can be bought.II.Basic listening practice.6.W: Did you hear?

You look elegant and classy.Page 22 ——Task 1 CAADBT ask 3.Beauty contestsA beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is based mainly, though not only, on the physical beauty ofthe contestants. But often it also includes personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as criteria of judgment.The origin of modern beauty pageants can be traced to the Miss America Pageant, which wasfirst held in Atlantic City in 1921. This pageant eventually included preliminary eliminations, an evening gown competition, musical variety shows, and judging by the panel. Still, the contestswere at first shunned by middle-class society. Pageants did not become respectable until World War II, when beauty queens were recruited to sell bonds and to entertain the troops. The Miss America Pageant is the largest provider of college scholarships for women in the world.Many trade associations have multi-level beauty contests which select queens as ceremonial representatives. The queens may appear at official receptions to present awards, to represent the industry in festivals, to present consumer information to the public, or even to lobby for the industry. For example the South Carolina Watermelon Queen may do a tour of supermarkets todo tastings of different varieties of watermelons. With the increasing popularity of beauty contests, winners have become role models for many young girls. They aspire to become a beauty queen one day.However, there are also criticisms of beauty contests. Although some contests are not based purely on physical appearance, "unattractive" contestants are unlikely to win, no matter how talented, intelligent, kind-hearted and educated they are. In addition, since "beauty" in these pageants is usually represented by unusually thin women, some people question this concept of beauty. Worse still, if a pageant violates the religious or cultural practices of a country, it maycause protests and demonstrations.Page 24 ——Task 3 ABACDVI. Task1. A friendly stylist.Stylist: Morning, sir. This chair, please. What can I do for you?Nick: A simple haircut —short on the back and sides.Stylist: Very good. I can, of course, do something more fashionable for only $60.Nick: Sixty dollars! That's highway robbery —twice what I ordinarily pay.Stylist: Perhaps, sir. But your haircuts haven't been in harmony with your character. Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick: I've never heard of such a thing.Stylist: I'm an expert at matching hairstyles to personalities, if I may say. Believe me, you're suffering a "disjunction".Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?Stylist: Your hair does not match you.Nick: This is utter nonsense. However, I'd like to hear how you'd solve this so-called problem.Stylist: Your character is artistic, imaginative. But your hair is dull. I can correct that imbalance in seconds.Nick: OK, let me see what you can do about the... uh... disjunction, as you call it.Stylist: We're going to use scissors to create peaks, which we'll keep in place with a liberal helping of gel... This tuft in the back we'll braid into a pigtail. Now, it's the new you!Nick: I love it. It's just like me: imaginative and artistic. Now what are you doing? What's wrong?Stylist: Something's preventing your hairstyle from being a true fashion statement.Nick: For heaven's sake, tell me what's missing.Stylist: Streaks. By putting in a few yellow streaks in your hair, it will become a work of art.Streaking will cost you more, but...Nick: Do it. Forget the cost. But, by the way, what is the total getting to be? How much am I paying to avoid the disjunction?Stylist: That's... $135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.Page 34 ——Task 1 CAABAUnit3. Watch out when nature strikes back.II Basic Listening Practice11.W: Did you read the paper today? There was an earthquake in Brazil.M: Yes, but it only measured 3.5 on the Richter scale. I don't think there would be any casualties.Q: What is the man's opinion of the result of the earthquake?12.W: I?d a bit worried about Suzie traveling to southern India. It?s the rainy season there, and there may be landsides.M: Suzie can take care of herself; she won?t go anywhere too risky. Besides, you can always e-mail her if it makes you feel better.Q: What is Suzie doing?13. M: Hi, I thought you were on holiday in Asia! Back already?W: we never got there! Our travel agent cancelled our arrangements because the whole region is flooded. We were so disappointed; we won?t get another chance to go this year.Q: What is the woman doing?14.M: Our flight to Tokyo was delayed by twelve hours. Can you believe it? A typhoon hit the east coast and it was chaos.W: I saw it on the news. The flooding and damage were terrible. I don?t think anyone was hurt though.Q: What is the consequence of the typhoon?15. W: Did you see the program last night about volcanoes? It was fascinating!M: Yes, the weird thing is the molten lava looks so beautiful, yet it?s so destructive. And I couldn?t believe how far the ash can travel. I?m glad we don?t have any volcanoes here!Q: What does the man think the volcano is?Page 39 ——Task 1 DACBCIII. Task1. Is tsunami delicious?Son: Hi, mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?Mother: I haven't started yet. Why, have you any requests?Son: How about tsunami for a change —I don't know what it is, but I heard some Japanese people using the word on the bus the other day. Sounds like a food. Maybe it's similar tosushi.Mother: Nonsense. Tsunami comes from Japanese words meaning harbor and wave. If we had a tsunami, it would be the other way around, young man.Son: Why? What is it?Mother: I mean it could swallow you up. A tsunami is an enormous series of very powerful waves.Son: Could we surf on them? That would be cool!Mother: They're not cool. They are very destructive. When they pound the shores of populated areas, they cause tremendous damage. They destroy everything in their path.Son: What causes them?Mother: I think they are caused by some sort of shock, like an earthquake, volcano, or landslide, that starts a chain reaction in the ocean.Son: Do the waves get so big that they crush buildings?Mother: Easily. They can be dozens of meters high. They toss cars and houses around as though they were children's toys.Son: Can you see them coming?Mother: You can see them at quite a distance. But there's not much you can do. In the open ocean they move at up to 800 kilometers per hour, but when it reaches the shore, the systemslows down and the waves get bigger.Son: How big?Mother: They can reach 30 meters, big enough to finish you off in one gulp.Page 40 ——Task 1 BCADCVI. Task1. Typhoon hits Guangdong Province.A typhoon lashed southern China on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rain, killing two people.The typhoon hit the coastal areas of Guangdong Province at 1:45 p.m. on Thursday, with wind speeds up to 126 kilometers per hour. It came as the nation was still fighting its worst flooding in10 years, which is expected to continue as the typhoon season gains pace.The Guangdong provincial flood-control headquarters said the typhoon had caused economiclosses of more than two billion yuan in the province, damaging more than 2,000 houses.The strong winds, up to 35 meters a second, blew down many trees and billboards in the urban areas, paralyzing local traffic. Electricity, telecommunications and water services were cut in some areas. A local resident said he saw the raincoats of many pedestrians lifted by the gale, while many umbrellas were blownaway. Two people were killed by the storm in the western part of the province.Before this typhoon, the province had already been plagued by torrential rains and subsequent flooding, which has killed hundreds of people over the past several weeks and caused dozens of rivers and lakes across the region to reach danger levels.Meteorologists forecast that six to eight major typhoons are expected in the coming months andtold people to avoid unnecessary trips outdoors until the all-clear is given.To prepare for the typhoons, the government issued emergency notices to its subordinate departments, urging them to take effective measures to protect people's lives and try to keep economic losses to aminimum. Priorities have been given to protect agriculture, reservoirs, dams, and coastal and river dikes in the flood-hit cities. More than 30,000 boats were required to returnto ports to avoid the disaster while over 7,000 fishermen were evacuated to safety areas. At least26 flights have been canceled at the airport.Page 52 ——Task 1 BADACTask 3. A blizzard.A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds, greater than 35 miles per hour, bearing a great amount of snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many different definitionsof what a blizzard truly is. But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weather must meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running, include snow or ice as precipitation, and have wind speeds of at least 32 miles per hour, which means force seven or more on the wind scale.Another standard, according to Environment Canada, is that the winter storm must have winds of40 kilometers per hour or more, plenty of snow, visibility less than one kilometer, a temperature of less than minus 25 degrees Celsius, and all of these conditions must last for four hours or more, before the storm can properly be called a blizzard.When all of these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred to as a ground blizzard.An extreme form of blizzard is a whiteout, when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, becomeso severe that it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteoutcan quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzards can also occur along with arctic cyclonesPage 54 ——Task3 ABCDC.Unit 4.II.1. M: Do you see yourself as a leader or more of a team player?W: Well, it depends on the circumstances.

More and more peopleare starting to work from home. Opinions on this new trend vary as there are both pros and consof working from home.The disadvantages are obvious. To begin with, you may feel lonely at home since you lack social interaction and face-to-face communication with colleagues. Besides, there are many distractionsat home: Your wife and kids may knock on your door or call you any time. You yourself may want to stop and have a cup of coffee or find something to eat from time to time. Without theoffice discipline, you may even be tempted to play computer games. What's more, it may be very monotonous if you have to stay at home all day long.On the other hand, many people think the pros of working at home outweigh the cons. The most obvious benefit is flexibility. You don't have to wake up to an alarm clock early in the morning,and you can work any time you want and in any way you want. For those who are more productive at night, working from home must be a paradise. Moreover, without a boss supervising you over your shoulder, you feel less stress. Like to work in pajamas? Fine. Like to listen to heavy metal at the highest volume while you are designing? Go for it. Also, people that work inthe home environment value immensely the extra time they can spend with their loved ones. As a mom or dad, you will be in a much better position to educate and take care of your children.Page 60 ——Task 3 CDDCAVI. Task 1.A small misstip can become a big career trap.George Adams, a market researcher at a company, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, and several boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend. He wanted to relax because his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At firsthe did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, his boss had given him the distribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn't seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back all the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO's office, he was already reading the report.Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he'd broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though she wasn't in control of her department.From the boss's point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward.Adams's story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: Small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career destroyer.Page 70 ——Task 1 DBCACUnit 5.II.1. W: Why do some people stay in one job for life while others switch jobs from time to time?M: Some people want a fixed routine so that they don?t have to adapt tot new circumstances over and over again, while others think variety is the spice of life.Q: why do some people stick to one job for life?20.M:Cathy,you?ve been late for work so many times lately that I have to warn you that any repetition will result in your dismissal.W:I?m sorry.I promise to be on time from now on. Perhaps I could work later to make up for the time I?ve lost.Q:What does the women say?21.M: Mr. Brown, my time here has been frustrating for me. I have a better opportunity with another firm, and I?m taking it.W: We won?t be sorry to see you leave, Richard. You?ve done your best to make everyone here as miserable as you are.Q: How does the woman feel about the man?s leaving?22. W: Mr. Stone, I wanted to te ll you in person that at the end of this month I?ll be leaving the company.M: Well, Jane, we are certainly going to miss you here, but I wish you the best of luck.Q: What does the woman going to do?23. W: Tim, I hate to tell you this, but we?re caught in a budget crunch, and we must lay you off. I?m sorry.M: I understand. I?ve enjoyed my time here,Don?t worry about me.

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3) drop everything and run for the hills! He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5) uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he’s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall. He’s muscular, and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, “I want a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp. As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don’t have time!” the big man yells, (S10) “I got to get out of town! Don’t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness. Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought. For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals.

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families. Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason”and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involvingthe extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely””on intellectual logic or “purely”on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3. What does the speaker mean by “cold“?4. According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps.Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored. Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. ThenI start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK.Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed. Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?”When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?”Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, thepassenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour. The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

But your haircuts haven’t been in harmony with your character. Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick: I’ve never heard of such a thing.Stylist: If I may say, I’m an expert at matching hairstyle to personalities. Believe me; you’re suffering a “disjunction”.

For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t (S3) match their newly face and figure, there’s a procedure that claims to make them (S4) sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6)neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a great improvement.”(S10)Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from the previous year. Women’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons. Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59.The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery. By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.。
