UNIT1 Our EarthTrack 4-1-1& 4-1-2Blake: What are you working on, Mary?Mary: I'm finishing my paper. It's due tomorrow, Blake.Blake: What's the topic?Mary: It's about Greenland.Blake: Greenland. Hmmm . . . that's part of Canada, right?Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake.Blake: Well, isn't it near Canada?Mary: Yes, it's off the coast of northeast Canada, but it's part of Denmark.Blake: Oh, I didn't know that. Well, what's your paper about exactly?Mary: In my paper, I answer the question "Is Greenland really green?" In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?Blake: Is it?Mary: What do you think?Blake: Let's see . . . Greenland is in the Arctic Circle-way up north. It's cold, . . . so "Is Greenland really green?" I'd answer "probablynot."Mary: You'd be correct. It's too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws.Blake: That sounds tough.Mary: It's hard for the construction industry. It's not easy to build in Greenland.Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there?Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They're great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You cansometimes see whales swimming in the harbors.Blake: That sounds cool! OK,so if it's not really a "green" place, why was it named "Greenland"?Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name.Track 4-1-3Bart: So what exactly did you do over the summer?Gustav: We worked as volunteers at Glacier National ParkBart: I've never been there. What's it like?Carolina: It's beautiful. There are mountains and lakes... and, of course, glaciers!Bart: How was the job?Gustav: We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind of hard.Carolina:That's true, but it was exciting, too! We actually saw bears!Bart:Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should apply. I'll need a job next summer.Carolina: Sorry, Bart, but you can't apply to that program. It's a special program for international students.Track 4-1-41. Mt. Fuji is really beautiful from far away. When you climb it, it's just rocks and dirt ... but it's really beautiful from far away.2. Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an amazing feat of engineering. It givesyou a chance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bay and it's just a wonderful chance to see the city.Track 4-1-OL-1&4-1-OL-2Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!Elise: W hat is it?Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky". It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat.Elise: T he Hindenburg . . .Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934.Thirty-five people died.Elise: O h yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing.Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes we have today.Elise: T hat's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous.Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight."They thought it was safe, I guess.Elise: W ho rode in it anyway?Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel."Elise: I t sounds pretty great.Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster.Elise: W hy didn't they just take a jet plane?Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. Thezeppelin could do it in half that time.It was speedy.Elise: W ell, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I'll learn something . . .Track 4-1-OL-3Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer.Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil.Jack: They also look really cool.Kayla: That’s true, but there are some SUVs which are not big but also very beautiful.Jack: And I think big cars are more fun to drive.Kayla: But then again, it’s very expensive.Jack: Well, let’s get more information about several kinds of cars, okay?Track 4-1-OL-4My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and thetraditional side of my countryTrack 4-1-OL-5&4-1-OL-6Modern buildings: We love them, We hate themThe world-famous Louvre Museum in Par is is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the build ing’s center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the onesinside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the h eart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors.In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.Track 4-1-OL-7&4-1-OL-8The future building boom?Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?Erika: I think it's overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing; There's no space.Even the suburbs are getting crowded.Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn't any land left for building, right?Erika: Yes, that's true, but you have to think creatively. You can't give up so easily.Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest?Erika: What I'm saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots,malls, hotels, and even apartmentbuildings.There's plenty of space.Interviewer: Isn't it expensive?Erika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring thecost down. It involves using robots. You don't have to pay robots a salary!Interviewer: Isn't "building down" more dangerous than other kind of construction?Erika: Actually, I think it's safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I'm just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper.Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?Erika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there's a new idea, it can cause controversy. But b uilding down" is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: It can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we'd be crazy not to consider the idea --it's the wave of the future!UNIT2Track 4-2-1&4-2-2Situation 1Man: Oh no!Woman: What happened?Man: I can't believe it! I was sending a message and I accidentally clicked on "Reply to All."Woman: So?Man: It was a personal message for my friend, Jerry. I wanted to send it to his e-mail address only.Woman: Oops.Man: Exactly. ... Instead I sent it to everyone on the list.How embarrassing!Situation 2Man: I see you have a new keyboard. That's nice.Woman: Yes, the company bought me a new one.Man: That's good.Woman: Well, actually ... I spilled coffee on my old keyboard,and it stopped working.Man:Oh, I see.Woman: Don't tell anyone. Drinking coffee near the computers is not allowed!Situation 3Woman: Have you finished working on my computer?Man: Yes, I have. I'm afraid I don't have good news for you.Woman: Really?Man: Really. The problem is with your hardware.Woman: Oh. What do you suggest?Man: I think you should probably buy a new computer. This one can't be fixed.Woman: Well, I have had it for five years. It's time to replace it, I guess.Track 4-2-3Lea: I hate writing term papers! It takes forever!Steve: You're lucky, Lea. When I was young...Lea: Oh, I've heard this story before.Steve: Well, when I was young, we didn't have computers. We used to write our papers on typewriters.Lea: Oh, really? That sounds difficult!Steve: It was, especially because I made a lot of mistakes.Lea: Did it take a long time?Steve: Yes. Computers are so much faster and easier to use.Track 4-2-41.I like the laptop because it's very, very thin. It's maybe less than one inch and it's about four pounds and I can carry it anywhere I want.2.My favorite feature of my computer is the Instant Messenger. The reason for this is that it's very affordable, fun and convenient and allowsme to chat with my friends from all over the world.Track 4-2-OL-1&4-2-OL-2Pam: Well, Lynn, I must be going. It was great to see you –Lynn: By, Pam.Pam: What’s that?Lynn: Oh … that’s Ollie.Pam: Ollie:?I didn’t know you had a dog!Lynn: Well, we don’t … really.Pam: What do you mean?Lynn: Come here.Pam: Oh my goodness. It’s a robot!Lynn: That’s right. It’s a dog robot. They call it a “dogbot.”Pam: How interesting! … But it’s a little strange, don’t you think?Lynn: Well, I wanted to get an interactive toy for the kids. They love it. So I’m happy.Pam: How much did it cost?Lynn: Don’t ask. It wasn’t very affordable. It’s cheaper than having a real dog, though. We don’t ever have to buy dog food! And thebatteries are rechargeable.Juliana: Hey, Henrik. Look.Henrik: What is it, Juliana?Juliana: What’s that guy doing over there?Henrik: Which guy?Juliana: The one over there. Wearing a suit. H’s punching so many buttons on his cell phone.Henrik: Oh, him. He’s probably playing a game.Juliana: Really?Henrik: A lot of people have games on their cell phones. It’s really popular here in Finland. They play them everywhere.Juliana: Do you play them, too?Henrik: Yes, I do.Juliana: I only use my phone to make telephone calls. I guess I’m old-fashioned.Henrik: I heard that some people play games even at work. They can play quietly during business meetings. No one knows about it.Juliana: I’d like to try it.Henrik: Here, use mine!Track 4-2-OL-3Penny: Hello. Your Computer World sales department.Ted: Hi, Penny. It’s Ted.Penny: Oh, hi, Ted. What’s up?Ted: well, my computer has crashed again.Penny: Oh no!Ted: Oh, yes. That’s why I’m calling. You know, it’s five years old. And I need to speak to Scott about getting a new one.Penny: well, you’ve called at a good time. We have some attractive new models.Ted: Great! I’m looking for something affordable. And I want to get something portable this time.Penny: I’m sure Scott can help you with that… Let’s see, he is in a meeting until 3:30. I’ll ask him to call you.Ted: No, that’s OK. I’ll call him after 3:30. Please give him the message.Track 4-2-OL-4E-mail is my favourite way to communicate. I think it is as fast as a fax machine, and it is as easy as a cell phone. Of course, e-mail has some problems, too. It isn’t as affordable as ordinary mail, because you need a computer and Internet service. And I don’t think it is asreliable as a fax machine. Sometimes e-mail messages get lost. But in my opinion, e-mail is as convenient as a cell phone. I can send a message from my home or office, and my friends can read it when they have time.Track 4-2-OL-5&4-2-OL-6In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users – and with other appliances!Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” toaster. It remembers your favourite kind of toast: light or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee maker and a “smart” clock. The co ffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your house, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you, “Your coffee maker needs more water.”And that’s only the beginning. One company is now advertising “Save time –phone your washing machine!” engineers are making a “smart” house. In this house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change a utomatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” appliances. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the internet, but people didn’t want it,because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,” says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.Track 4-2-OL-7&4-2-OL-8Local girl rescuedShe m ay have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in thegymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She c ouldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robots” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliableinformation. It went extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots c an bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she getsout of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”UNIT3Track 4-3-1&4-3-2Conversation 1Woman 1: What are you watching?Woman 2: Oh, just the news.Woman 1: Can I change the channel?Woman 2: In just a minute.

Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class. Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After tha t, I don’t remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations.A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that saved my life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products and makemoney.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company (“no-ad”stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising”happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’thave to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising: Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

Unit1Track-4-1-OL-5Modern buildings: We love them, We hate themThe world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it face a very modern problem. There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In nineteeneighty-ni ne, American architect I. M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started and angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara (原广司), the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new like into the city center.Track-4-1-OL-7The future building boom?Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?Erika: I think it’s overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing: There’s no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowed.I: Well, in some places there simply isn’t any land left for building, right?E: Yes, that’s true, but you have to think creatively. You can’t give up so easily.I: Think creatively? What do you suggest?E: What I’m say ing is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels, and even apartment buildings. There’s plenty of space.I: Isn’t it expensive?E: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don’t have to pay robots a salary!I: Isn’t “building down” more dangerous than other kind of construction?E: Actually, I think it’s safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I’m just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that dig deeper.I: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?E: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there’s a new idea, it can cause controversy. But “building down” is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: It can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we’d be crazy not to consider the idea –it’s the wave of the future!Unit 2Track-4-2-OL-5In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users – and with other appliances!Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” toaster. It remembers your favorite kind of toast: ligh t or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee maker and a “smart” clock. The coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your home, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you, “Your coffee maker needs more water.”And that’s only the beginning. One company is now advertising “Save time – phone your washing machine!” Engineers are making a “smart” house. In the house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” appliances. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the Internet, but people didn’t wan t it, because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,” says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.Track-4-2-OL-7Local girl rescuedShe may have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive. Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robots” was tried for the first time. “We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Mor gan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”Unit 3Track-4-3-OL-51. A bank robbery in Virginia, USA, was stopped when the robber and the bank teller couldn’treach an agreement. The robber pushed a holdup note under the window, but the teller looked at it, said, “I can’t read this,” and gave it back. The robber pushed the note through a second time. The teller crumpled the note up and threw it at the robber. He picked it up and walked out of the bank.2. A professional ice hockey player will miss the rest of this season’s games because he injuredhimself. National Hockey League goalie Jean-Louis Blanchard went on the injured list after he fell and seriously hurt his back. He was walking out of a restaurant in Ottawa, Canada, when he slipped on some ice.3. The first international camel beauty contest was held last week in Alxa, in western China.More than 100 dressed-up camels entered the contest. The judges examined them for shiny hair, tall humps, and beautiful costumes. Unlike human beauty contests, though, there were no interviews with the contestants.4. X in Sheffield, England, arrested a 41-year-old man for stealing five cars. Graham Owenswent to car dealers and said he wanted to buy a car, and borrowed a car to test-drive. Each time, he drove the car around, then cleaned it inside and washed it outside – before leaving it at the side of the rode, and walking home.Track-4-3-OL-71. Nutty newsLulu is a kangaroo. For 10 years she has lived with the Richards family. Lulu was adopted by the family after they found her next to her dead mother.Mr. Ken Richards is a farmer. He was working on his farm when a heavy tree branch suddenly fell on top of him.Lulu stood next to Mr. Richards’ body. She started barking and didn’t leave Mr. Richards’ side.“I’ve never heard Lulu bark like that – she sounded like a dog. She barked and barked and she didn’t stop,” said Celeste, Mr. Richards’ daughter.After 15 minutes, the Richards family went to investigate. They found Ken on the ground and he was unconscious.“Lulu is a hero,” said Celeste. “She saved my father.”Mr. Middleton, an expert veterin arian, said that Lulu’s story is rare. “I have never seen a kangaroo act like that. Maybe Lulu helped Ken Richards because the Richards family is the only family she has ever known.”Lulu has always followed Ken around the farm. She’s a loyal, friendly, an d very intelligent kangaroo. After Ken leaves the hospital, he is planning to go everywhere with Lulu.2. Nutty newsApproximately 175,000 people live in the Republic of Vanuatu, an island chain east of Australia. It is a popular tourist destination beca use there’s a lot to do there: you can visit waterfalls, go horseback riding, take an aerial tour, or visit a traditional Ni-Vanuatu (Ni-Vanuatu is a demonym used to refer to all Melanesian ethnicities originating in Vanuatu. It also refers, more generally, to nationals and citizens of Vanuatu, whatever their ethnicity.) village. Vanuatu is most famous for its scuba diving and snorkeling.In an effort to draw attention to these popular water sports, Vanuatu has created a world’s “first”: the government has opened an underwater post office. You have to be a certified scuba diver to work there. The office is three meters below the surface in an area on the outskirts of Port Vila, the capital city.. So far, the post office has hired four workers. They will work in a room surrounded by the beauty of Vanuatu’s underwater world. Customers will buy waterproof postcards on land and then dive down to the post office to receive a special waterproof stamp.Unit 4Track-4-4-OL-5You’ve never met Melissa Hayes, and you don’t know her name, but you know her voice. Melissa records information messages for the telephone company. When you hear The number you called has been changed…—that’s Melissa!“Yes, it’s true.” She says. “I’m the voice talent for National Telephone.” At least 50,000 people hear her voice every day. “I try to sound warm and friendly, even when I’m saying, I’m sorry, that number is incorrect. Please try again.”Melissa works only three days a week, but she has to practice a lot. “My voice has to sound the s ame at the end of eight hours.” She’s very careful about her voice. “I don’t drink lots of hot water with honey. I can’t go to horror movies because I always scream, and I might hurt my voice!”How did she get her job? “A friend told me about it. I listene d to all the telephone company messages on my phone, and then I recorded a cassette of those messages. After I sent it to the company, I called them every day for a month!”She has done this work for three years now, and she loves it. “It’s fun! And I’m he lping people by using my voice.” Plus, people are always surprised when they hear about Melissa’s job. They say, “You’re a real person? I thought it was a computer!”Track-4-4-OL-7Interview 1Interviewer: What is your job, Ken?Ken: I’m a V. J. or “video jockey.”I: How would you describe your job?K: I’m on TV.

Also, I love music, so it’s a lot of fun.I: What is the worst part of your job?K: I get to meet a lot of famous people. Some of them are not very nice. They think they are better than me. They can be very demanding.I: What was your most memorable moment?K: Last year, I presented an award on TV at a video music awards show. I couldn’t believe it. They flew me out to Los Angeles and I stayed in Beverly Hills. I was on the TV show for a whole 45 seconds! I got to meet a lot of stars.I: I want to be a V. J. How do I get the job?K: Well, first you have to make a videotape about yourself. You need to talk about certain things on the video. In my case, there was a list of questions, like “What did you do last weekend?” and “What’s in your CD player right now?” After you talk about yourself, you sent the videotape in to the TV station. They call you if they like the tape.Interview 2Interview: What is your job, Steven?Steven: I’m a car courier.I: How would you describe your job?S: Sometimes a person or a company needs a car moved from one place to another.

You will listen to a passage which protests against advertising and shopping. Then fill in the blanks with words from the passage.A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shits and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?A group in Canada says “No”. In 1991, they started an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of t he Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for family and close friends.However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many people feel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.Of course, Buy N othing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: shop less, live more!”Track 4-5-OL-6B. Listen to the talk about advertising, “Ad or no ad?” complete the statements.Ad or no ad?Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “Not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word- of-mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product.” It can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who d id not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a compl ex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:·Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.·Only say positive things about your comp any. Don’t say negative things about your company.·Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.Unit 6Track 4-6-OL-5B. You will hear a passage about Mary Larson’s old life and new life. Then answer the questions. Vacation every day: The peaceful life Mary Larson has wished forMary Larson was 43 when she got divorced. It was a new life for her, and she started considering what was really important in her life. She was working 60 hours a week as a banker to pay for a big house, expensive furniture, a new car, and all the other “important’ things in life. But she had no time for what she really enjoyed: going out on her old houseboat.One day, she realized she could live on the boat, and forget about the mortgage payments. She sold her house and all her furniture. For the last six years, she and her dog Buddy have lived on the boat, which is only a fraction of the size of her old house. Her “home” is a marina on the river, and the rent costs only $200 a month, including water and electricity.Inside the boat is one room, about 5 meters by 4 meters. It’s divided in two parts by a curtain. One part is Mary’s bedroom; the other is the living room and kitchen.There’s also a small bathroom with a shower. “I used to spend every weekend cleaning and maintaining my house. Now, it takes me two or three hours a month,” Mary says.“My friends think I’m crazy,” she says. “But I wake up in the morning and hear ducks and birds. I can go fishing f rom my living room.” Now, she works only part time. She uses all theextra hours for writing stories, bicycling, volunteering, and visiting friends. On weekends, she goes along the river on her boat, exploring new places.“Would I go back to my old life? Never,” she says, “It’s so peaceful here. It’s like being on vacation every day.”Track 4-6-OL-7B. Listen to the passage, “Money from unexpected sources.” Then ask and answer the following questions with a partner.Money from unexpected sourcesThe San people live in southern Africa. Scientists say that they may have been living there for as long as 40,000 years, hunting animals and gathering plants. Until recently, the once mighty San were broke and unemployed. They had lost their land and were no longer engaged in traditional activities, such as hunting. The few young San people with jobs were working as farm laborers. They were not learning about their ancient culture and language.That may all change. The San have struck it rich. They recently signed an agreement with a large drug company. The San have traditional knowledge about plants. The drug company is especially interested in a particular cactus and how the San use it.The San used to go on hunting trips. While away from home, they chewed on the cactus to suppress their appetite--- they no longer felt hungry afterwards. Using the San’s knowledge, the drug company plans to make a new drug from this plant. For people around the world who eat too much and have weight problems, this new drug could really help them by suppressing their appetites.The San have a positive plan for this new wealth. Their first step will be to get jobs for their people. Their next priority will be education. Through education, they hope to save their culture and language for future generations.When you think of a monk, you might think of a quiet man living in an isolated place. The “free monks” of Greece do live in a monastery, but they are anything but quiet. In fact, they sing. They have been recording their songs and selling many records in Greece.Young music listeners love to listen to the “free monks.” Their songs are recorded in different styles (digital keyboard and rock, for example), and the themes are not only religious. The brothers also sing abut problems like drugs and globalization.The monks haven’t made a fortune from their record sales. But they have made a profit. They use the money to pay for summer camps for teenagers. At the camps, the teens can play soccer and go horseback riding. The monks also donate money to other social programs that help people.。

Unit1Track-4-1-OL-5Modern buildings: We love them, We hate themThe world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it face a very modern problem. There simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In nineteeneighty-ni ne, American architect I. M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started and angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara (原广司), the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new like into the city center.Track-4-1-OL-7The future building boom?Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?Erika: I think it’s overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing: There’s no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowed.I: Well, in some places there simply isn’t any land left for building, right?E: Yes, that’s true, but you have to think creatively. You can’t give up so easily.I: Think creatively? What do you suggest?E: What I’m say ing is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels, and even apartment buildings. There’s plenty of space.I: Isn’t it expensive?E: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don’t have to pay robots a salary!I: Isn’t “building down” more dangerous than other kind of construction?E: Actually, I think it’s safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I’m just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that dig deeper.I: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?E: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there’s a new idea, it can cause controversy. But “building down” is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: It can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we’d be crazy not to consider the idea –it’s the wave of the future!Unit 2Track-4-2-OL-5In today’s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users – and with other appliances!Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a “smart” toaster. It remembers your favorite kind of toast: ligh t or dark. Companies are designing a “smart” coffee maker and a “smart” clock. The coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your home, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can tell you, “Your coffee maker needs more water.”And that’s only the beginning. One company is now advertising “Save time – phone your washing machine!” Engineers are making a “smart” house. In the house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on “smart” appliances. There were surprises. A “smart” refrigerator can buy more food on the Internet, but people didn’t wan t it, because it might make mistakes.“Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,” says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.Track-4-2-OL-7Local girl rescuedShe may have a broken leg, but she can’t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive. Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything,” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robots” was tried for the first time. “We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Mor gan’s exact position.“We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan. “That little robot that saved my life!”Unit 3Track-4-3-OL-51. A bank robbery in Virginia, USA, was stopped when the robber and the bank teller couldn’treach an agreement. The robber pushed a holdup note under the window, but the teller looked at it, said, “I can’t read this,” and gave it back. The robber pushed the note through a second time. The teller crumpled the note up and threw it at the robber. He picked it up and walked out of the bank.2.

For 10 years she has lived with the Richards family. Lulu was adopted by the family after they found her next to her dead mother.Mr. Ken Richards is a farmer. He was working on his farm when a heavy tree branch suddenly fell on top of him.Lulu stood next to Mr. Richards’ body. She started barking and didn’t leave Mr. Richards’ side.“I’ve never heard Lulu bark like that – she sounded like a dog. She barked and barked and she didn’t stop,” said Celeste, Mr. Richards’ daughter.After 15 minutes, the Richards family went to investigate. They found Ken on the ground and he was unconscious.“Lulu is a hero,” said Celeste. “She saved my father.”Mr. Middleton, an expert veterin arian, said that Lulu’s story is rare. “I have never seen a kangaroo act like that. Maybe Lulu helped Ken Richards because the Richards family is the only family she has ever known.”Lulu has always followed Ken around the farm. She’s a loyal, friendly, an d very intelligent kangaroo. After Ken leaves the hospital, he is planning to go everywhere with Lulu.2. Nutty newsApproximately 175,000 people live in the Republic of Vanuatu, an island chain east of Australia. It is a popular tourist destination beca use there’s a lot to do there: you can visit waterfalls, go horseback riding, take an aerial tour, or visit a traditional Ni-Vanuatu (Ni-Vanuatu is a demonym used to refer to all Melanesian ethnicities originating in Vanuatu. It also refers, more generally, to nationals and citizens of Vanuatu, whatever their ethnicity.) village. Vanuatu is most famous for its scuba diving and snorkeling.In an effort to draw attention to these popular water sports, Vanuatu has created a world’s “first”: the government has opened an underwater post office. You have to be a certified scuba diver to work there. The office is three meters below the surface in an area on the outskirts of Port Vila, the capital city.. So far, the post office has hired four workers. They will work in a room surrounded by the beauty of Vanuatu’s underwater world. Customers will buy waterproof postcards on land and then dive down to the post office to receive a special waterproof stamp.Unit 4Track-4-4-OL-5You’ve never met Melissa Hayes, and you don’t know her name, but you know her voice. Melissa records information messages for the telephone company. When you hear The number you called has been changed…—that’s Melissa!“Yes, it’s true.” She says. “I’m the voice talent for National Telephone.” At least 50,000 people hear her voice every day. “I try to sound warm and friendly, even when I’m saying, I’m sorry, that number is incorrect. Please try again.”Melissa works only three days a week, but she has to practice a lot. “My voice has to sound the s ame at the end of eight hours.” She’s very careful about her voice. “I don’t drink lots of hot water with honey. I can’t go to horror movies because I always scream, and I might hurt my voice!”How did she get her job? “A friend told me about it. I listene d to all the telephone company messages on my phone, and then I recorded a cassette of those messages. After I sent it to the company, I called them every day for a month!”She has done this work for three years now, and she loves it. “It’s fun! And I’m he lping people by using my voice.” Plus, people are always surprised when they hear about Melissa’s job. They say, “You’re a real person? I thought it was a computer!”Track-4-4-OL-7Interview 1Interviewer: What is your job, Ken?Ken: I’m a V. J. or “video jockey.”I: How would you describe your job?K: I’m on TV. I introduce music videos and talk about them. I also interview singers who appear in videos.I: What is the best part of your job?K: I get to meet a lot of famous people. That’s very exciting. Also, I love music, so it’s a lot of fun.I: What is the worst part of your job?K: I get to meet a lot of famous people. Some of them are not very nice. They think they are better than me. They can be very demanding.I: What was your most memorable moment?K: Last year, I presented an award on TV at a video music awards show. I couldn’t believe it. They flew me out to Los Angeles and I stayed in Beverly Hills. I was on the TV show for a whole 45 seconds! I got to meet a lot of stars.I: I want to be a V. J. How do I get the job?K: Well, first you have to make a videotape about yourself. You need to talk about certain things on the video. In my case, there was a list of questions, like “What did you do last weekend?” and “What’s in your CD player right now?” After you talk about yourself, you sent the videotape in to the TV station. They call you if they like the tape.Interview 2Interview: What is your job, Steven?Steven: I’m a car courier.I: How would you describe your job?S: Sometimes a person or a company needs a car moved from one place to another.

You will listen to a passage which protests against advertising and shopping. Then fill in the blanks with words from the passage.A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shits and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?A group in Canada says “No”. In 1991, they started an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of t he Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for family and close friends.However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many people feel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.Of course, Buy N othing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: shop less, live more!”Track 4-5-OL-6B. Listen to the talk about advertising, “Ad or no ad?” complete the statements.Ad or no ad?Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “Not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word- of-mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product.” It can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who d id not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a compl ex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:·Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.·Only say positive things about your comp any. Don’t say negative things about your company.·Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.Unit 6Track 4-6-OL-5B. You will hear a passage about Mary Larson’s old life and new life. Then answer the questions. Vacation every day: The peaceful life Mary Larson has wished forMary Larson was 43 when she got divorced. It was a new life for her, and she started considering what was really important in her life. She was working 60 hours a week as a banker to pay for a big house, expensive furniture, a new car, and all the other “important’ things in life. But she had no time for what she really enjoyed: going out on her old houseboat.One day, she realized she could live on the boat, and forget about the mortgage payments. She sold her house and all her furniture. For the last six years, she and her dog Buddy have lived on the boat, which is only a fraction of the size of her old house. Her “home” is a marina on the river, and the rent costs only $200 a month, including water and electricity.Inside the boat is one room, about 5 meters by 4 meters. It’s divided in two parts by a curtain. One part is Mary’s bedroom; the other is the living room and kitchen.There’s also a small bathroom with a shower. “I used to spend every weekend cleaning and maintaining my house. Now, it takes me two or three hours a month,” Mary says.“My friends think I’m crazy,” she says. “But I wake up in the morning and hear ducks and birds. I can go fishing f rom my living room.” Now, she works only part time. She uses all theextra hours for writing stories, bicycling, volunteering, and visiting friends. On weekends, she goes along the river on her boat, exploring new places.“Would I go back to my old life? Never,” she says, “It’s so peaceful here. It’s like being on vacation every day.”Track 4-6-OL-7B. Listen to the passage, “Money from unexpected sources.” Then ask and answer the following questions with a partner.Money from unexpected sourcesThe San people live in southern Africa. Scientists say that they may have been living there for as long as 40,000 years, hunting animals and gathering plants. Until recently, the once mighty San were broke and unemployed. They had lost their land and were no longer engaged in traditional activities, such as hunting. The few young San people with jobs were working as farm laborers. They were not learning about their ancient culture and language.That may all change. The San have struck it rich. They recently signed an agreement with a large drug company. The San have traditional knowledge about plants. The drug company is especially interested in a particular cactus and how the San use it.The San used to go on hunting trips. While away from home, they chewed on the cactus to suppress their appetite--- they no longer felt hungry afterwards. Using the San’s knowledge, the drug company plans to make a new drug from this plant. For people around the world who eat too much and have weight problems, this new drug could really help them by suppressing their appetites.The San have a positive plan for this new wealth. Their first step will be to get jobs for their people. Their next priority will be education. Through education, they hope to save their culture and language for future generations.When you think of a monk, you might think of a quiet man living in an isolated place. The “free monks” of Greece do live in a monastery, but they are anything but quiet. In fact, they sing. They have been recording their songs and selling many records in Greece.Young music listeners love to listen to the “free monks.” Their songs are recorded in different styles (digital keyboard and rock, for example), and the themes are not only religious. The brothers also sing abut problems like drugs and globalization.The monks haven’t made a fortune from their record sales. But they have made a profit.
