She was only 17 when she lost her leg in a traffic accident. When was the accident?Natalie: In February 2001, the year after the Sydney Olympics.William:You lost a leg from the accident. Did you, at that point, think it was all over with swimming?Natalie: Swimming was my life and still is. Swimming was four hours a day and it would still be four hours a day, no matter what.William: How soon did you get back into the pool?Natalie: About three or four month after my accident. The water is the gift that gives me back my leg. I believe everything happens in life for a reason. You can’t go back and change anything. William: You went to the 2004 Paralympics and won five gold medals. You are also one of the two Paralympians at the Beijing Olympics. Although you didn’t win a medal, you still made history.Natalie: There’s really no line between able-bodied and disabled swimming. It’s just that I have a goal to swim in the able-bodied Olympics.William: Then tell us about the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.Natalie: I won three gold medals.William: Where do you go from here? Do you have further dreams?Natalie: Definitely! My dream has been to swim faster than I did before the accident. Tha t’s a message I want to bring across: You have to have goals. You have to have dreams. You have to work at what you believe in and you have to believe in yourself.William: When you are up against open competition, do you feel a disadvantage?Natalie: Not at all. You go out for your race and you’ve got to try your best. It is important to swim your own race and not someone else’s.Listening II11-5 ABCBA2 1. best-selling 2008 tackles secrets 2. came out of nowhere 3. enormous amount4. really good5. great piece composedSmith: Now welcome Malcolm Gladwell, author of the best-selling books Blinks, The Tipping Point, Outliers, and What the Gog Saw. In his 2008 book, Outliers, Gladwell tackles the secrets of success. Good morning.Gladwell: Good morning.Smith: Ok. So let’s talk about some stories of success. One of the examples you use in the book is the Beatles.Gladwell: Year, right.Smith: Tell the story of the Beatles and why they were as successful as they were.Gladwell: Well, I was really taken by what happened to them before they came to America in 1964.Smith: They were playing in Star Club in Hamburg, Germany.Gladwell: Yes. And they played eight hours a day, seven days a week! We think these geniuses just came out of nowhere and they were naturally brilliant. But the fact is that they put in thousands of hours.Smith: These overnight successes aren’t overnight successes at all.Gladwell: Yes. That’s one of the big themes of the book actually. When we look at these people, we think they have great talent. We forget the enormous amount of work that they put into their successful competitions.Smith: And I think about Lee Westwood. Even now he practices dozens and dozens and dozens of hours a week.Galdwell: Yes, it’s a rule I talked about in this book---the 10,000-hour rule. It looks like we need to spend 10,000hours practicing before we are really good. So there has never been a great piece of classical music composed by someone who hasn’t spent 10,000 hours.Smith: You write about Mozart, about Mozart composing music as a child. He didn’t compose anything anybody really cared about until when?Gladwell: Until he was 23, when he had been composing for over10 years.Smith: So it really does make sense. A great read, just like the other ones. Such a pleasure to have you in the studio.Gladwell: Thank you.Listening III11-8 TFTTFTFF2I am quite aware of the dangers.

She did this in 1932 in a small plane.Jen: That's true.Sarah: Until then, many people said that a woman wasn't strong enough mentally or physically to make such a trip alone. Well, not only did she do it, but she also made the trip faster than anyone had before.Jen: Good for her!Sarah: Then in 1935 she flew alone from Hawaii to California, the very first person to be successful in making the trip.Tom: But, as I said before, she failed to fly around the world.Sarah: I don't think Amelia would think that she had really failed.Jen: Why?Sarah: She had written a letter to her husband in which she said, "I am quite aware of the dangers. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."Jen: And you are saying that she has challenged others.Sarah: Right!Listening IV1 1. constant 2. techniques 3. pursuing 4. accomplish 5. faced 6. positive7. further 8. hamburger9.

Come on in.Julia: Thank you.Nancy: Good.Julia: The taxi driver came right here.Nancy: It's pretty easy to find.Julia: Yeah, it's not too bad.Nancy: Oh, come in.Julia: Thank you.Nancy: Come and have a seat.Julia: Thank you. Your home is lovely.Nancy: Oh, thank you. Thank you. These are my children.Julia: Hello.Kids: Hi.Julia: (to kids) How are you?Kids: Good. Thanks.Julia: Good.Nancy: Would you like something to drink?Julia: I would, if you don't mind.Nancy: Let me get something.Julia: Thank you very much. ... (Nancy brings the drink.) Oh, thank you.Nancy: Be careful. It's hot.Julia: Thanks.Nancy: You're welcome.Julia: Smells good... Yeah, I like that.Julia: It's wonderful to see you again. Tell me how you've been?Nancy: Well, it's a long story. You would never believe how unlucky I've been.Julia: How come? You were considered to be the luckiest one in our class when we were college students. Do you remember you were the only one chosen to go to Germany for an exchange program?Nancy: Yes. But that was about the end of my luck.Julia: No, you had a boyfriend too... Eric, right? (Nancy nods her head.) He was so smart and handsome! You were the envy of all the girls because he fell in love with YOU. We always thought you were a perfect match. Did you marry him?Nancy: Yes, I did. We had a few wonderful years, and then one day he had a terrible accident.Julia: An accident?Nancy: Yes, he was killed on his motorbike. A truck hit him. He was killed instantly.Julia: I'm so sorry to hear that. What bad luck!Nancy: He left me with two children. (she points to the two children who are playing together.) One was five, one was three. I had quit my job as a programmer to stay at home and care for them. I had no choice but to look for a job to be able to support us.Julia: You were good at computer programming. I wouldn't think that you would have any difficulty in finding a job in that field.Nancy: You might not believe it, no one wanted to hire a single mother with two children. I was five years out of touch with current programming, latest technology. And the jobs that I did find didn't pay very well.Julia: What a pity! How did you make a living then?Nancy: I had to settle as a secretary in a small firm. And the job is dull, the pay is low, and I don't really get along well with my colleagues.Julia: So, I...I see why you may be feeling unlucky.Nancy: Well, I thought things would be getting better last year when I found a boyfriend. He liked the kids and the kids liked him. He would be an ideal husband and so we were going to get married last Christmas. On our wedding day, the church building burned down. So we put off the wedding.Julia: Why didn't you just hold the wedding in a different location?Nancy: Well, we thought that maybe it was a sign that we weren't meant to be together. Looking back at my recent life, it's been a total failure. I just... even now, things don't seem right. I was so lucky in my first 28 years of life, and now luck seems to have abandoned me. I'm an unlucky person most of the time.Julia: Oh, you keep complaining about your unhappy life. And,... and recently it's not been so good, but nobody is lucky all the time, and there have been good things in your life also.Nancy: You have to admit, though, that some people are luckier than others. Nobody can succeed without having a little bit of luck.Julia: You are no less lucky than many others in this world. Whether you're lucky or not depends on how you think about life. You've been thinking too much about the unpleasant things in your life. But if you would look at things from another point of view, things would probably look a lot different.Nancy: But how? I can find nothing, nothing lucky in my life happening right now.Julia: Mm, just look at your children. They are so cute and happy! You have to consider them your assets. And you've done a good job with them.Nancy: Yes! I'm proud of them. To tell the truth, I really do enjoy watching them grow up. Ah, it means everything to me. I really think I am lucky to be a mother to them. Thanks for listening and talking with me. It's been nice talking to you and...and seeing you once more. I see that I really have had a good share of good luck.Julia: It seems to me you have much to be thankful for. I hope the next time I see you, you'll be feeling like your life is much more successful.Part III Video Appreciation and Singing for FunPart IV Further Speaking and ListeningListening I1 The true statements: 12 42 1. authority behavior 2. hoping for a chance3. changing our ideas closest relatives4. most recent studiesScript:(At a dormitory lounge on a college campus.

She has written several books, published many articles, and lectured all over the world about her studies.Mary: How did she begin her work in this area?John: That's quite a story. The article says that she was a timid twenty-six-year old person without a university education when she got the courage to call Louis Leakey, the famous anthropologist at the Museum of Natural History in Kenya. She had been working as a waitress, saving her money, and hoping for a chance to study animals.Mary: What happened next?John: Leakey offered her a job as his assistant in 1960. She paid her own expenses for a year, and Leakey then helped her find the money to continue her research and finally finish a university degree in anthropology. Her studies have continued since then, changing our ideas about these animals who are man's closest relatives.Mary: What is the newspaper writing about her now?John: She is doing a new TV show next month on "The Animal Planet" where shewill tell about her most recent studies in Africa.Mary: I'd like to see that even though I'm not a biologist.Listening II1 1.1782 2. 1795 3. his late twenties2 The things that are true to Beethoven: 13 5 6 8 9 10Script:Bob: Hi, Mary, what did you find this time?Mary: Do you remember in our Music Appreciation class we studied music by Ludwig van Beethoven?

He published his first music at the ageof twelve in 1782, played in private concerts, and had his first public concert in 1795.Carol: But, even though he was a brilliant pianist, it was his original music which he was best known for.

Was that the end of his music career?Bob: No, but he became bitter and unhappy after that, and his music, though excellent, was a struggle for him.Mary: We were told that he could "hear the music in his mind" even though he could not hear theactual music. Despite the many personal disappointments he suffered, he became known as the greatest musician of his time.Listening III1 The things that are true to Norman Rockwell: 4 6 72 1-5 A A D C DScript:In the United States, Norman Rockwell is the best-known artist who ever lived.
