I think it's awonderful thing to be able to write a book that people all around the world want to read.• I'd like to be a famous politician. If I were a politician, I would try to change the world, to stop all these wars and do something to help poor countries. You know, I think it's terrible that most politicians don't seem to worry about things like that.3)I'd most like to meet Oprah Winfrey because she is kind andgenerous and willing to help people out during tough times.

Reference answers1)• I think it is a good idea for them to make these life changes. The meaning oflife is to make life meaningful. Anita and Jasmin obviously felt bored with what they did every day, and couldn't find contentment, fulfillment and pleasure in their life, so it was the right time for them to make a change. They needed to try something different, something that can bring them new experience, give them a sense of achievement, and revive their passion for life.Even though they are in their 30s, it's never too late for them to pursue what they really want to do in their life. The pursuit of their dreams pushes them forward and inspires them to live life to the fullest.• I think it is too risky for them to make these life changes at such an age, especially for Anita Jacobs who sold her house and gave up her job just to go traveling. I just doubt whether she will be able to make a living when she finishes traveling. It's not unusual for many people to feel bored aboutdoing the same job every day. But the point is that this job pays enough so that we can make a living, and we can have some money put away for retirement after paying the bills and putting food in our mouths. So when the going gets tough, just remember times when we have a peaceful life at home after an eight-hour day.2) A typical example is Bill Gates, the former chief executive of Microsoft, theworld's largest personal-computer software company. Bill Gates enrolled at Harvard University in the fall of 1973, originally thinking of a career in law.He did well there, but he didn't find it interesting. He spent many long nights in front of the school's computer and the next day was asleep in class. When the MITS Altair 8800 based on the Intel 8080 CPU was released in 1974, he and his friend Paul Allen saw this as a great opportunity to start their own computer software company. So Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to start a business to write software for computers. It was a hard decision but it turnedout to be the right choice.Viewing1.Reference answers1)I think the qualities a successful Formula One driver must have includephysical strength and proficiency, mental alertness, quick reaction, endurance, consistency, courage, competitiveness, and appreciation for adventure and speed.2)Lewis Hamilton is ambitious and he always wants to win.

These dreams may be things we want to accomplish, places we want to go, or feats we must attempt. Whatever they are, dreams give us a purpose in life and a meaning to live, and allow us to fight for what we believe in. However, we should not let our dreams control our life and become a slave to them. In fact there are other things we should work for apart from our own dreams, such as our family and our friends. So don't be afraid to let go our dreams if we have to.•The second quote tells us that we should always strive to attain ou r dreams in life. Dreams push us to move forward, to struggle, to strive all the time. Without dreams, life is a life without hope; without dreams, we are as lost as a bird which has lost the gift of flight. So follow our dreams and let our ambition fuel us to surpass our limits. Never quit and always think of different ways to win.3.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsIB 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 DLong conversation1A 2 B 3 B 4 DPassage 11 B 2D 3 A 4 CPassage 21)commentators2)exaggerated3)focus on4)lead an active life5)laid the foundation6)annual7) a series8)advocating9)abolish10)influentialKey to U5Listening to the worldSharing•Reference answers: The podcast is mainly about whether people enjoy city life, the good things about living in a city and the main problems in cities.•1) cities 2) mix of people 3) peace and quiet•1).
