But the amazing thing was here we were, all these different people, with all these we were, all these different people, with all these different accents, and we could communicate.A: Wow, that’s cool.4.A: I can’t believe it!

What are you talking about?Steve: Look at this. I just bought a donut. I’m so sick of the clerk wrapping each pastry individually, then taping the bags shut, then putting those bags in another bag, folding it down, and then taping that bag shut. I can’t take it anymore. It’s crazy and it’s bad for the environment. Trish: How long have you been living here? Don’t you know that’s the way it is?Steve: I just want them to stick ‘em in a napkin for me , so I can eat while I’m walking to class. Trish: There you go again. Don’t you know it’s rude to eat while you walk?Steve: I’m so tired of this place. I don’t have time to sit down and eat. People here are too inflexible, and they have too many rules.Trish: Yeah, right, Steve, so you’re gonna convert everybody here to your way of doi ng things? Steve: Yeah, there has to be more individual freedom to do whatever you want.Trish: Why don't you just relax and go with the flow?Steve: Go with the flow? The whole system is a waste of my time. The clerks here should learn how to be more efficient, like in the U.S.Trish: What are you talking about? When I was in the U.S., the clerks were really rude. They just ignore you, and seem offended if you want anything. Don't you think it’s better this way? Steve: Are you kidding?Trish: Well, I kind of like it. It’s nice to relax and enjoy the moment while your packages are being wrapped. I like all of the traditions, and the care and attention that people give you, and the manners.

The color is pretty impressive, too, don’t you think?Bob: Yeah. You always have the latest, don’t you?Andy: You bet. This machine is right on the cutting edge of t echnology. You wouldn’t believe how much it can do. Apart from e-mail and free Internet service, I can watch TV on it while surfing. With this new desktop program, I can watch TV, e-mail, streamline videos, and scan artwork. And it’s not that expensive to upgrade, either. Uh, speaking of computers, how’s yours?Bob: Yeah, it’s fine. Thanks!Andy: I know I gave you a good deal. It was only a year old. Still, are you sure it meets all your needs? Maybe you should think about upgrading.Bob: you know me – the only things tat I need a computer for are e-mail and word processing. Andy: Yeah, but does it give you room to expand? If you want to be able to do more two years from now, will your computer be able to handle it?Bob: Well I don’t know. But I kind of doubt that I’ll need a new one anytime soon.Andy: Yeah, but with computers, there’s always a new model coming out that can do so much more. If you don’t keep up with technology, you'll get left behind.Bob: well, what’s wrong with that?ScriptDoctor: Hi, Julie. How are you?Julie: Her, Dr. Cassidy. I’m actually fine. It’s just that I’ve been a little tired the last few days, and my stomach is kinda upset.Doctor: Well, that doesn’t surprise me. I have some news that you might find exciting. You’re pregnant.Julie: No way!Doctor: Yes, you’re going to have a baby.Julie: Are you kidding me? Ah, I need a cigarette.Doctor: That’s the last thing you need. You need to stop smoking, and immediately.Julie: But I can’t stop smoking.Doctor: For your baby’s health, Julie, I’m afraid you have to.Julie: But smoking is the only way I can relax! It helps me when I’m stressed out.Doctor: Now, there are a number of things that are extremely important for pregnant mothers, and not smoking is only one of them. Another is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.Doctor: If you drink while you’re pregnant, your child coul d have birth defects. I cannot emphasize enough, Julie, the importance of quitting.Julie: Okay, then. What else is there?Doctor: Well, coffee.Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning. Doctor: I’m afraid,Julie, you’ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby’s heart rate. And, it’s also important to get regular exercise.Julie: You’re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant.Doctor: I really hope you’ll take this seriously, Julie.ScriptSue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt. Randy: No, that’s not blood. It’s ketchup.Sue: Ketchup? What happened?Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.Sue: Yeah.Randy: And we were waiting at a ki ng of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn’t come, and I was getting kind of worried.Sue: Yeah…but what’s that got to do with ketchup?Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we’d been cheated, because we’d alrea dy paid for our tickets in advance.Sue: Right.Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.Sue: Yeah, and …Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…Sue: So what happened?Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we’d been cheated, and now it’s dark and we’re stranded in this little restaurant…Sue: Oh, no…Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for t he woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!Sue: No! She didn’t!Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”Sue: So you got on the van.Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself. Sue: You must have felt terrible.Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country.ScriptEd: Are you worried about having enough money? Are you worried about paying your bills? Well, worry no more!Customer-1: I use d to watch every penny. But now I’m worth four million dollars, and it’s all thanks to Steven Crowe!Customer-2: I used to get headaches from worrying about money.

Then I got Steven Crowe’s videos, and learned how to make real money.Ed: “Real money.” That’s the name of this 3-video set by Steven Crowe. Let Steven show you how to become financially independent buying and selling real estate.Steven Crowe: Hi! I’m Steven Crowe. I used to worry about money, too. I felt like a victim of the system. But then I found a way to make the system work—for me.Ed: What’s the trick, Steven?Steven Crowe: There’s no trick, Ed. It’s simple, once you understand how real estate really works. All you need to know is how to buy low and sell high. And that’s exactly what my videos teach you to do.Ed: And you can get really rich?Steven Crowe: Just ask some people who have “Real Money.”Customer-1: After I got the “Real Money” videos, I bought my first house, following Steven’s simple rules. Six months later I sold it and bought two more houses. A year after that, I had enough money to quit my job.

The stupid train was late again, and I missed my connection, and…gosh, I’m tired already, and the day hasn’t even started.Lori: How long is your commute?Carrie: Almost an hour and a half, on a good day. Three hours of my life every day, five days a week, you know. I’ve got to wake up at six in the morning just to make it in to work by nine or so.I feel like a techno-self.Lori: that is long. I can walk here in 15 minutes. But you know, at least your commute is green. You can look at the trees and small towns…it must be nice.Carrie: For the first 20 minutes yeah. But as soon as the train gets closer to the city, it is all concrete and steel. That’s when it starts to get really crowded. Today so many people were in the train that I felt like a sardine in a big sardine can.Lori: Well, you could always move closer to the office.Carrie: But I love living in the country. The air is so fresh and clean, and I can have a bigger place and it’s safe and all that. I just wish I had more time to enjoy it. Sometimes it seems like my whole life is get up early/take the train/work all day/take the train home/go to bed, and then wale up and do it all over again.Lori: Wel l, can’t you find a way to make the trip more worthwhile?Carrie: Well, I read the newspaper and sometimes I bring a book, but I don’t really enjoy it. Lori: How about audiotapes or CDs? There’re novels or language learning tapes, relaxation tapes, relaxation tapes , all kinds of stuff on tape and CD.Carrie: Yeah, good idea, maybe I’ll look into it. Anything will be better than complaining about this commute all the time.Lori: Yeah, that’s for sure!ScriptAnna: Margaret, what’s the scariest thing that ev er happened to you?Margaret: The scariest thing? Surviving the San Jose earthquake.Anna: You were in the San Jose earthquake? Tell me what happened.Margaret: Well, I was living in an apartment downtown with my friend Julia. And we were still sleep on a Tuesday morning, and a little after six o’clock, there was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like waves, all at the same time.Anna: Oh my gosh! What did you do?Margaret: well, it took a second or two to figure out what was going on—that it was an earthquake. Then I climbed out of bed and under the table, and I shouted at Julia to come, but she just pulled the covers over her head like it was a bad dream or something.Anna: Whoa!Margaret: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Julia and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out the front door , but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit.Anna: That must have been horrifying!Margaret: Well, I remember that someone shouted, “Get out of there, quickly!” And we shouted back, “We can’t! The door won’t open.” So they said, “Well, come out the window.” But I called out, “it’s too high up,” because we were living on the second floor. “Not any more,” the person shouted back. So, we looked out the window and , sure enough, we were down on the ground! Anna: Your second floor apartment was on the ground?Margaret: We couldn’t believe it. We opened the window and crawled out, and somebody helped us over all this rubble. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building.

They’re very traditional, so I’m afraid of telling them that I’m engaged. I’m worried that they won’t let me marry him.Dr. Monroe: Hmm.Sunhee: I can’t go against my parents’ will, but this is the man I want to marry.Dr. Monroe: Hmm. That’s Sunhee’s problem, folks. Now, what’s your advice to her?Sunhee: Hello. What’s your advice for our worried friend?Carla: Hello. I’m Carla, from Canada, and I married a Chinese man five years ago. When I first told my parents I wanted to marry a foreigner with different religious beliefs, they were very angry. You see, they’re very traditional. They’ve always expected me to marry someone Canadian, from the same religious background.Dr. Monroe: Then what happened?Carla: For four years, they hardly talked to me, and they never came to visit us. it was like they disowned me…Dr. Monroe: Four years, you say. After four years something changed?Carla: Yes. When our little girl was born, I sent my parents a picture of her, and wrote, “Your granddaugh ter would like to see you.” A week later they called, and a month after that they came to see us – well, they came to see my daughter, any-way. Now they’re trying –they still aren’t comfortable with my husband, but they’re trying to understand him.Dr. Mo nroe: So, what’s your advice?Carla: Don’t give in to tradition. Marry the person you love. But have your first child soon –don’t wait four years like I did. That’s too long to be divided from your parents.Dr. Monroe: Sounds like good advice to me.ScriptSarah: You know, Richard, I really think we ought to fix up our apartment a little.Richard: What for?

We can go there and get a few simple things, just make it feel like a home.Richard: A few things? Oh, man, this is going to cost money.Sarah: it doesn’t have to cost a lot.Richard: Why can’t we just leave it the way it is? I like it. I feel comfortable here. You start putting a lot of nice things around and it’s going to be a museum.Sarah: But, Richa rd, we’re not the only ones that are going to be here. We want to have friends over, you know, have people over to study. They’ve got to have places to sit.Richard: Hey, that’s a good idea. We could get a couple of psychedelic posters and a lava lamp. Get a black light. Crank up the stereo. We could have cool parties here.Sarah: Parties, Richard? Richard, we are not going to have any time to party. We are going to be way too busy studying. That's what we’re in college for!Richard: College is about having parties about having friends over. I don’t want something that looks like my parents’ house.Sarah: Look. It doesn’t have to look like your parents’ house. We just need a few simple things like chairs. Maybe some plants you know, it’ll just make it nice a nd homey.Richard: Homey?

She‟s independent and she goes after what she wants. And onceI started looking at her more, I really liked her physically.Bob: well, you two sure make a great couple!Unit 8Warm upModern Technology: Friend or Foe?Modern Technology has made our lives easier. But have we traded convenience for danger? Let‟s take a look at the dark side of technology .Hidden Expenses: Better save up some cash. Program developers are constantly changing their software, and you may need to pay to get newest updates. Getting ready to buy a new computer? You might find that the programs you already own are incompatible with your new system .Security: The internet has made shopping easy .but it is possible to steal online credit information. That‟s why insurance companies are offering identity theft polices. You also have to worry about virus that could damage your computer . Privacy: Many people couldn‟t live without e-mail. But most people could live without spam. Your inbox can get so clogged up with cyber junk mail that you spend all your time deleting it . And what about those “cute forwards” people send? They might seem funny to some people, but they‟re annoying to most.Mental health: computers are very entertaining, but have people become too attached? For some, the computer has become an obsession. Video games and online gambling are addictive activities that can make you a prisoner of your computer.Listening task1.A: You wouldn‟t believe what happened to me.B: What?A: Well, I got my credit card bill yesterday ,and I was looking it over ,and there all these charges for things didn‟t buy .There was a fur coat from some expensive website ,and , like ,fifty phone calls to Paris.B: Oh, no. Did someone steal your credit card?A: No, I still have the card, but someone must have gotten the number. Sometimes that‟s all you need to buy something over the phone or on the Internet.B : Wow ,that‟s scary .A: Yeah, but I called the credit card company. They have identity theft insurance, so they‟re going to give me a new card, a new number, and I don‟t have to pay for any of that stuff.2.A: How‟s that new computer working out, man？B: Well, hard to say. It‟s definitely a cool machine, top of the line. It‟s got way more memory than my old computer, and it is way faster. The thing is, none of my old software works in it.A: Really?B: Yeah, it‟s a new operating system, so nothing is compatible.A: Wow.B: So now I have to buy upgrades for all my programs, all the new versions of everything.A: That‟s goona be expensive.B: Yep, it‟s really lame.3.A: Hey, did you get the e-mail I sent you yesterday?B: I thing so. It was one of those joke forwards, right? One of the kind that are supposed to be funny.A: Yeah, it was a picture of an elephant playing baseball. Man, that was hilarious.B: Yeah, um, actually, I kind of wish you wouldn‟t send me all those forwards. I end up just deleting them anyhow.A: Oh, OK. I didn‟t realize.B: Sorry, but it's just that I get, like, fifty forwards a day, from you, my mum, my sister, my coworkers. My inbox is always so clogged up with forwards that sometimes I don‟t even get to read my real e-mails, important e-mails, you know.4.A: John, you‟ve been playing the video games for hours.B: I know, I know. It‟s just that I have to get to level five before I can take a break. A: Well, you‟ve been playing nonstop everyday like this for the past week.B: Yeah. This game is really addictive. But I promise I‟ll stop just as soon as I get into the secret room.A: The secret room?B: Yeah, but first I‟ve got to get a hold a golden key.A: John, listen to yourself! I think this game is messing with you head.Real World ListeningGreg: Hello, this is …Tech Trek,‟ and I am your host, Greg McFee. Today we‟re going ton review three video games that everyone‟s talking about. First, there‟s …the butcher.‟ The player is undercover cop who used to be a butcher. Image that. Super violent, super fast game. Next is …pirate party‟, which is based on last summer‟s hit movie about a band of pirates that attack cruise ships and beach resorts. Last is …Marooned on Mars‟, a video game that take place in 2250 in an abandoned colony on mars. The object of the game is to construct a spaceship to get back to earth. Ok, before we get to the reviews, we have a special guest on …Tech Trek‟-Jeff Townsend, developer of …the butcher ‟. Jeff, thanks for coming today.Jeff: My please, Greg.Greg: So, Jeff. “The butcher”. A lot of people are talking about your game, and most of them are saying it might too violent.Jeff: Well, it is violent. I mean, it‟s about a cop, who was once a butcher, who hunts down criminal.Greg: Right I‟ve played the game. A lot of people think that video game like …the butcher‟ actually causes violence, that they have bad influence on children.Jeff: Yeah, I hear that a lot. But I don‟t know. To me, video games are just entertainment. I think people can tell the different between the video game and real life.Greg: Even kids?Jeff: Even kids. I don‟t think everyone is going to play …the butcher‟ and then go out and make criminals into hamburger. You‟re not going to become more violent if you play …the butcher‟Greg: Maybe so, but …Jeff: In fact, I was reading the newspaper, and there are some scientists who think that playing violent video games can actually make you less violent.Greg: Hmm. That‟s interesting.Jeff: Yeah, they say if you get your anger and frustration out in video game, you‟ll be a lot more relaxed in your regular life.Greg: So if you were a really angry person, it might be a good idea to play …the butcher‟, right? You could hack up criminals for an hour, and then go on with the rest of your day in a peaceful, happy mood.Jeff: Exactly. Playing a video game might be better than meditating or seeing a psychiatrist, or anything like that.Greg: Anyway, thanks for joining us on …Tech Terk,‟ Jeff.Jeff : Any time.UNIT 9Warm Up1.Now that Krista is in college, she doesn‟t live at home.

MUST 3UNIT 1Task 2 Checking the Facts1. There are also some parts of the island that still reflect how it used to look before urban development took over.2. The macaques have grown accustomed to being fed, so they look to humans as a source of food.3. As the monkeys depend more on humans for food, they venture further from their natural habitat..4. These macaques are French species so they live on the edges of therainforests.5. After all, the macaques are essential to maintaining the rainforest’s ecosystem.Home ListeningA conservation group says 163 newly discovered species of plants and animals in the Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia where the Mekong River 1) flows are atrisk of extinction because of rising global temperatures.Some of the most 2) unusual animals included a frog with fangs in Thailand that eats birds and a leopard-spotted gecko found on an island in Vietnam. But in a report3) released in Bangkok on Friday, the WWF says that temperatures in the region are4) expected to rise by as much as four degrees Celsius in the next 60 years and that could threaten their existence.The WWF says rare and endangered species are at the greatest 5 risk from climate change, because rising temperatures could affect food 6) supplies or cause weather problems that damage habitats. The newly discovered species that live at the tops of mountains only or low-lying islands only, like this Cat Ba gecko that was just found are 7) especially vulnerable to climate-change impacts because of their restricted habitats. More than 1,000 new species have been discovered in the GreaterMekong region in the past 8) decade.Changes to wildlife in the Mekong area could also affect many of the 60 million people who depend on the river for their livelihoods. Of all the region’s the WWF works in, the Mekong region 9) probably has the closest link between its resource and human livelihood than any other region in the world.The WWF report comes just days ahead of a major United Nations meeting inBangkok on climate change. The Bangkok meeting will 10) try to narrow down a framework agreementon global emission targets to be negotiated at the end of this yearUNIT 2①Task 2 Checking the Facts1. When it comes to intelligence, there has always been one fundamental question: Is intelligence a function of nature? Is it simply encoded in a child’s genes?2. If we take two identical twins, chances are that they will be as intelligentas each other3. If we put identical twins in different environments, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later, which indicates that . environment does play a crucial role in4. Investing in quality pre-school opportunities clearly helps give children from poverty-stricken areas the chance at a stronger start in school and in life.5. We will take a hard look at this compelling data and begin investing greater sums at the early childhood level.②Task 2 Checking the Facts1. In 1999, Time named Einstein as the person of the Century.2. Einstein hated the system of learning by heart and he said it destroyed learning and creativit y.3. What award did Einstein win in 1921?Answer: The Nobel Prize for PhysicsHome ListeningMost people know that Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who came up with the formula E=MC2. But do you know other facts about this 1) genius?When Einstein died in 1955, his body was cremated and his ashes 2) scattered according to his wishes. However, before his body was cremated, Thomas Harvey at Princeton Hospital 3) conductedan autopsy in which he removed Einstein’s brain.Rather than putting the brain back in the body, Harvey decided to keep it for study. Harvey did not have 4 permission to keep Einstein’s brain, but days later, he 5) convinced Einstein’s son that it would help science. Shortly thereafter, Harvey was fired from his position at Princeton because he refused to give up Einstein’s brain. For the next four 6) decades Harvey kept Einstein’s chopped-up brain in two mason jars with him as he moved around the country.Einstein’s mother, Pauline, was an 7) accomplished pianist and wanted her sonto love music too, so she started him on violin lessons when he was six years old.Unfortunately, at first, Einstein hated playing the violin. 8) He would much rather buildhouses of cards, which he was really good at, or do just about anything else.. When Einstein was 13 years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he heard the music of Mozart. 9) With a new passion for playing, Einstein continuedto play the violin until the last few years of his life..Part of Einstein’s charm was his disheveled look. In addition to his uncombed hair, one of Einstein’s peculiar habits was to never wear socks. 10) Whether it was while out sailingor at a formal dinner at the White House, Einstein went without socks everywhere.To Einstein, socks were a pain because they often would get holes in them. Plus, why wear both socks and shoes when one of them would do just fine?UNIT 3TASK2 Checking Facts1. Science fiction is another way to sensors the future.2. It’s a kind of writing that blends real science with fantasy.3. For instance, predict can show if someone is in your home and where theyare at all times.4. The stuff of cutting-edge scientific research today is tomorrow’s householdtechnology.5. And high-tech consumer products could be available in your future home.Home ListeningSome people don’t stop at imagining the future. They start building it. Thathappened when people wanted better ways to get around. They made 1) models of machines that would change the world. Or so they thought. Take the jetpack. It’s a backpack that carries a small rocket engine. You put it on, rev it up and soar. No need to ask for a ride to school or wait for the bus. But real life turnedout to be more 2) complicated—doesn’t it always?For starters, jetpacks couldn’t carry much fuel. So the 3) average trip was maybe half a minute. You can’t get very far in that time. Then there were problems with safety. Jetpack fuel can be dangerous stuff. It heats up to about 700°Celsius (1300°Fahrenheit). The roaring engine can also 4) damage your hearing.Of course, there are some 5) incredible problem solvers in this world. Someday, a clever 6) inventor may come up with a jetpack that truly takes off. It may be a while, though. So you’d better hold on to your bus pass.The dreamers of the 1950s also had ideas about how people mightcommunicate. One idea turned up in the “Dick Tracy”comic strip. Tracy was a tough, smart 7 detective He had a special way of staying in touch with people. On his wrist Tracy wore an 8) amazing watch. It had a telephone that he could use anywhere. Even better, it had a two-way television. This meant he could see people while he was talking to them.The two parts of Tracy’s watch —telephone and television —existed in the1950s. 9) Yet it took an artist to put them together in a new way–slowly, real life caught up with the comics. Today, people have cell phones. Some are even videophones. People also use webcams to see each other while they “talk”over theInternet. 10)As“Dick Tracy”exemplified, pieces of what was in the presentcan come together later in the future..UNIT 4TASK2 Checking Facts1.The scientists who launched the Human Genome Project believed in the power of genetic information to transform health care to allow earlier diagnosis of diseases than ever before possible.2. But it was also clear that genetic information could potentially be used in ways that are hurtful or unfair3. The goal was to _anticipate problems that might arise and to prompt solutions.4. But will we really want that information? How will it be used? Who will Have access to our genetic information?5. The challenge of addressing these issues is not reserved for scientists.Home ListeningWhat has science done for you lately? Plenty. If you think science doesn’t matter much to you, think again. Science affects us all, every day of the year, from the moment we wake up, all day long, and through the night.Because of science, we have 1) complex devices like cars, X-ray machines, computers, and phones. But the technologies that science has 2)inspired include more than just hi-tech machines. The notion of technology includes any sort of 3)designed innovation.. Whether a flu vaccine, the 4) antibiotics that treat your sore throat, the technique and tools to perform open 5) heart surgery, or a new system of crop rotation, it’s all technology. Even simple things that one might easily 6) take for granted are, in fact, science-based technologies: the clean water that comes from your faucet, and the light that you turn off at the end of the day, the plastic that makes up a sandwich bag, —it’s all here because of science. To make it clear how deeply science is 7) interwoven with our lives, just try imagining a day without scientific progress.8) Though the impact of technology on our lives is often clearly positive (e.g.,it’s hard to argue withthe benefits of being able to effectively mend a broken bone), in some cases the payoffs are 9) less clear-cut. It’s important to remember that 10) science builds knowledge about the world,, but that people decide how that knowledge should be used..UNIT 5TASK2 Checking FactsArts EducationBenefits Involvement in the arts is associated withgains in math, reading,cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbalskill. Arts learning canalso improve motivation, concentrationconfidence, and teamwork .Status quo Comprehensive, innovative artsinitiatives are taking root in a growing numberof school districtsMany of these models are basedon new findings in brain research andcognitive development, andthey embrace a variety of approaches:using the arts as a learningtool, incorporating arts into other coreclasses and creating aschool environment rich in arts andculture.Arts education and education in general “We’re preparing kids for jobs. We’re preparing them to be citizens.And we’re teaching them to be human beings who can enjoy the deeper forms of beauty. The third is as important as the other two.”Home ListeningThe arts not only contribute richly to the development of human intelligence, but also offer the means to achieve a great diversity of characteristics in human beings in every school today. It would be easier to achieve 1) significant educational achievements if everyone learned in the same way, but not everyone does. In all schools today there is a growing diversity of students with different 2) cultural social, and economic backgrounds that result in very different ways of thinking, learning, and 3) behaving Children with different kinds of abilities and disabilities are in the same classrooms. Children from 4) disadvantaged families learn together with more economically privileged students. School systems that rely on teaching 5) primarily through the spoken and written words simply do not reach all these kinds of students. Even students with similar backgrounds 6) perceive and process information differently.We have known for a long time that there are major perceptual differences in how people take in information. Some students can learn 7) effectively by listeningand they do very well in traditional classrooms where most of the information is presented 8) orally Studies show that these students whose strongest learning channel is auditory comprise less than 15% of the population. On the other hand,9) students who demonstrate a visual learning style are about 40% of the population. It is important for them to have illustrations, charts, and diagrams along with words and numbers. Understandably, many of them have difficulty learning in conventional classrooms since very little hands-on learning is available in most classes after early primary grades. The arts offer especially valuable tools to facilitate learning for those who are primarily visual, in addition to making it possible for all students to learn more effectively, 10) retain what they have learned,know how to apply what they have learned in a variety of situations and feel more positive about learning.UNIT 6Task 2 Checking the Facts1. A solution may be at hand for holidaymakers who are finding it harder to get off the beaten track2. For those who really want to get away from it all,a new holiday destination has sprung up —Antarctica.3. However, this new hotspot, or freezing zone, might only be for those with the deepest pockets if a new policy gets under way.4. The growing numbers are having a negative effect on the pristine environment of the South Pole. To combat this, researchers from Holland’s Maastricht University have come up with a possible solution_.5. The Maastricht University team’s proposal to auction off a fixed number of tourist places_ seems a workable solution.Home ListeningWith nearly 1 billion tourists crisscrossing the globe every year, it’s more important than ever for travelers to minimize their individual 1)impact on the earth’s natural and cultural treasures. The 2)potential negative effects of tourism are both local and global; oceanfront hotels 3) contributeto beach erosion in Hawaii, rising numbers of visitors 4) threaten the fragile ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands, and carbon dioxide 5)emissions from planes are a growing contributor to global warming.Taking a green approach to travel is an easy and 6) essential way to protect the places you love to visit, not just for yourself but for the travelers who come after you and for the people who will continue to live there long after you’ve flown home. As an added bonus, it often makes for a more rewarding, 7) authentic travel experience, encouraging deeper 8)connections with the peopleand places you visit.Contrary to popular belief, you don’t necessarily have to pay more in order to travel green. You can 9) f ind green lodging options in all budgets from hostels to luxury hotels. And Earth-friendly transportation options like biking, walking and taking public transit are often cheaper than taking a cab or renting a car. Also, you don’t need to sacrifice creature comforts or go off into the middle of nowhere to be a green traveler; you can visit big cities or small villages, and stay in small ecolodges or luxury hotels. All that’s required is 10)an effort to preserve and protect the natural and cultural environment of the place you’re visiting, which means conserving plants, wildlife and other resources; respecting local cultures and ways of life; and contributing positively to local communities. It’s easier than you might think.UNIT 7①Task 2 Checking the Facts1.Gaming addiction _is not yet officially recognized as a disorder by the American Medical Association.2. It’s not surprising that some teens would rather play the latest video game than friends, play sports or even watch television.3. Studies estimate that 10 percent to 15 percent of gamers exhibit signs that hang out with the Health Organization’s addiction.1.What symptoms may prove you’ve been addicted to the Internet?Answer: Internet addicts\1)lose track of time and less time on meals;2)sneak online when unnoticed.2. What severe consequences does Internet addiction cause?Answer: 1) Internet addiction has devastating effects on people’s fhealth and social lives2) Adults may lose the most important years _for their career development3) Students waste too much of their youth.3. Why is Internet addiction so prominent in China?Answer: 1) Many youths are _only child in their families;2) The lack of _activities can lead to Internet addiction.Home ListeningResearch studies show that only 10–15% of gamers meet the criteria for addiction. Heavy game use is 1)defined by the American Medical Association as playing for more than two hours per day, yet2estimates of the amount of time gamers spend playing video games vary from 6 to 12 hours per week. In fact, reports typically suggest that gamers spend about a quarter of their 3)leisure time playing video games.Considering this, it is easy to be 4) confused about whether your or someone else’s gaming falls in the average or heavy ranges.As with all addictions, it is important when considering the possibility of a video game addiction not simply to consider the amount of time spent gaming, but also the 5) function t is serving the individual. Video game playing, as one of a range of 6) recreational activities, may not be harmful or indicate an addiction. On the other hand, when game playing is addictive, it takes over as the person’s main way of coping with life, with other important areas of life being 7)neglected or disrupted as a result. Video game addiction or video game overuse is seen most 8commonly in players of the ersistent multiplayer gaming universe, or Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) , who make up 9.1% of gamers. These games 9)hold many attractions for gamers –they are interactive, social, competitive andhappen in real time. Research indicates that MMORPG players tend to be lonely, socially marginalized people who have difficulty with real life social interactions. They may feel that 10) they have a more positive social experience and more control in virtual relationships than they do in the real world.;UNIT 8Task 2 Checking the FactsFunction To enable a country to _invest in infrastructure or programs that support economic growth and development.Sources 1.Domestic financial resources: taxes and borrowing2. Foreign financial resources: donation from other countries; commitment to increasing the amount of money they give in aid by $50 billion by 2010Usage 1. Aid should not be tied to the purchase of goods and services from donor countries.2. Making aid more effective is a responsibility shared by donor and recipient countriesHome ListeningThe United Nations is trying to formulate a single global action plan to fight the spread of poverty worldwide. Ambassador Francesco Paolo Fulci of Italy, president of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), says there have been far too many UN conferences and declarations since 1990 and, what is needed now, is “more 1)concrete action and less talking”. He said that “too large a share of 2)resources for development is wasted on studies, administrative costs, general 3) expenses and field trips.”Fulci says that proposals made at nine major UN conferences —since the firstChildren’s Summit in New York in 1990 —will be “distilled”into a single 4)action-oriented plan aimed at eradicating poverty. He expects the world’s finance ministers —and all UN 5)agency heads —to be 6)present at an ECOSOC meeting in Geneva early July to adopt a “Geneva Declaration”against poverty.“We will be sending a strong message from Geneva on what immediate stepsgovernments and civil society should take to fight poverty,”he says.The Italian nvoy )seeking commitments from the 185 member states as well as from the heads of UN bodies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) —to help implement the plan. Fulci says there has to be a firm commitment to ncrease development aid, which has been on the decline, and a 8) pledge to write off the growing foreign debts of the world’s poorest nations.“How can one eradicate poverty when some of the world’s poor nations, specifically in Africa, 9) have to spend more than 60% of their export earnings on interest payments?”He asks. “These are debts that will never be paid off. So let’s start a new era.”According to the United Nations and the World Bank, more than 1 billion to 1.3billion people live in poverty, mostly on a daily income of less than a dollar a day.10) On the other hand, the total external debt of developing nations has reached more than two trillion dollars.。

Unit 3Lesson 1, Audio passageThe recent blockbuster Avatar is one among a string of new movies to come out during a period being called the “3D renaissance”. But has the 3D format cut down on the amount of movie piracy as Hollywood hopes? It doesn‟t look like it.“While Hollywood claims 3D movies will slow piracy, they are only partially right,” said Chris Chinnock, president of a U.S.-based marketing research and consulting firm. He said if pirates try to use a regular video camcorder to record 3D films, it would result in the images coming back in double. However, those with knowledge of video equipment can get around the 3D deterrent, he said.Chinnock‟s assessment seems to hold true. More than a week before Avatar was set for its China release, copies of it were shelved in pirated DVD shops throughout Beijing.He also speculated that the lack of impact on the pirate market might be because the film was also released in 2D. The problem with releasing a film strictly in 3D is that many theaters, in both the U.S. and China, are not equipped to handle the new technology. China has roughly 200 mainland theaters equipped to show 3D films. Less availability for movie-goers means more devious minds findingalternative ways to watch blockbusters.Hurvitz of the foreign counsel for intellectual property law firm Kangxin Partners PC pointed out that while filming in the cinema is one of the biggest and easiest ways to contribute to pirated films, there are hundreds of people with industry …ins‟ willing to pass along exclusive copies of the film for big bucks.Still the problem persists and, while stringent laws are in place, neither the Chinese government nor the U.S. filming industry knows what to do. “They‟re snuck out of the studios, sent overseas, duplicated a million times and then sold on the streets,” Hurvitz said.Lesson 2, Audio passageWhen Dan Brown‟s blockbuster novel “The Lost Symbol” hit stores in September, it may have offered a peek at the future of bookselling.On , the book sold more digital copies for the Kindle e-reader in its first few days than hardback editions. However, less than 24 hours after its release, pirated digital copies of the novel were found on file-sharing sites like Rapidshare. Within days, it had been downloaded for free more than 100,000 times.Digital piracy, long confined to music and movies, is spreading to books. And as electronicreading devices such as Amazon‟s Kindle and the Sony Reader boost demand for e-books, experts say the problem may only get worse. Digital theft may pose a big headache in 2010 for the slumping publishing industry, which relies increasingly on electronic reading devices and e-books to stimulate sales.Piracy is a serious issue for publishers. The company that publishes Stephenie Meyer‟s wildly popular “Twilight” teen-vampire series says it “considers copyright protection to be of paramount importance.” Authors are concerned as well. “With the open-source culture on the Internet, the idea of ownership --- of artistic ownership --- goes away,” said novelist and poet Sherman Alexie last month. “It terrifies me.”As to how to combat e-book piracy, views vary. Some publishers have tried to minimize theft by delaying releases of e-books for several weeks after physical copies go on sale. Some authors have even gone as far as to shrug off e-book technology altogether.However, some evidence suggests that authors‟ and publishers‟ claims of damage from illegal piracy may be overstated. Recent statistics have shown that consumers who purchase an e-reader buy more books than those who stick with traditional bound volumes. Amazon reports that Kindle owners buy, on average,3.1 times as many books on the site as other customers.Keys to home listening1. pirated2. latest3. bargain4. estimates5. unique6. populations7. illegal8. basing9. the overseas market is almost as huge as the Indian market.10. the U.S.-India Business Council, and American film companies are collaborating with Bollywood to combat piracy by raising awareness of the problem with American authorites。

视听说III-原文和答案-Unit2VLS Ｂ３Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptM: Now we have satellite and high-powered microscope, it’s easy to think we know everything about the world; but we still don’t understand EI Nino.W: Right. Scientists all over the world over are even uncertain about the cause of the warm Pacific current that brings storms or drought—the mysterious EI Nino.Q: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?2. ScriptM: Everyone is talking about environmental problem: acid rain, the greenhouse effect, holes in the ozone layer. We should think positively. What can we do to improve things?W: I agree. We could do a lot more to harness the sun’s energy for heating and lighting in our homes. In Japan 43,000 solar roofs were installed in 2002.Q: How do the man and the woman view the environment?3. ScriptW: We lived in Beijing some years ago. It was always difficult to keep the house clean with wind from the north blowing sand from the desert at us.M: That’s why the Chinese government has been encouraging people to plant trees along the edges of the Gobi Desert. Now those trees act as wind barriers.Q: What did the government encourage people to do?4. ScriptM: Many old refrigerators and cars are environmental hazards because they contain CFCs that destroy the ozone layer.W: Yes, but government or organizations are helping people to safely dispose of old refrigerators or, in the case of cars, to upgrade their air conditioning.Q: What are government departments helping people to do?5. ScriptM: Hey, that’s an aerosol spray you’re using on your hair! Build a bomb or set fire to the apartment to kill us quickly instead of making holes in the ozone, so we die of cancer.W: Cool it, man. This spray doesn’t contain CFC s. And you’d better read a little more. In 2003 the hole in the ozone layer shrank by 20 percent, so there’s no reason to panic.Q: What does the man mean?Keys: 1.B 2.D 3. A 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InTask 1: We should have proper respect for nature!ScriptMartha: Do you think most people in your culture respect nature?Ed: I think so. Umm…more now than before.Martha: What do you think is the most serious environment problem in the world today?Ed: Today…I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem; and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Umm…through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safely, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safely and stuff like that.Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school?Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on. And also to prevent more problems from occurring.Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be?Ed: A new law for the environment? Umm…I’d probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw themeverywhere because it’s just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if theythrow them on the floor on the ground.Martha: That’s a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I’m so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.While being interviewed by Martha, Ed said more people in his culture respect nature ever before. When asked about the most serious environmental problem in the world today, he mentioned the damaged ozone layer and the pollution in big cities.Ed learned about environmental problem at school. A lot of clubs and some TV programs promote environmental safely. He believes that students should learn more about the environment at school. Then they can be more aware of all the problems and prevent more problems from occurring.When asked about a new law he would like to create to help the environment, he said that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them in the garbage bin. They should be fined if they throw them on the floor.Personally, Ed is so set against littering that he never litters. He always throws his trash into the garbage bin.Task 2 River pollutionIf you see dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water is discolored and smelly, you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causes for it.First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increase considerably. Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green. This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply,using up all the oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals.Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entiresurface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.Questions and key1.

This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August. "We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from non-fossil sources by 2020," Director Zhang said. At present, non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people werelaid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people's income, and lead to unemployment.Questions and keyl. What is the passage mainly about?D) Cutting carbon dioxide emissions: China's achievements and problems.2. From four years ago until August this year, how many kilowatts of coal-fired plant capacity willhave been closed?D) More than 70 million.3. By 2020, what will be the proportion of non-fossil energy in the total power in China?A) 15%.4. Which of the following is true of the investment by China and the United States in clean energy last year?B) China's investment was almost twice as large as the United States'.5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a problem arising from curbing greenhouse gas emissions?C) Causing more strikes.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Our globe is in dangerJohn: How is your Grandma getting along during this usually hot weather?Nora: Over the last few years, Granny has been complaining that the hot, humid weather is killing her. She believes the weather has changed.John: What she means is the climate’s long-term conditions; weather refers only to day-to-day conditions.Nora: Yeah, she says summer is hotter, and winter wetter. But I tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s all in your mind, Granny.”John: She’s right, you know. The greenhouse effect does bring global warming and rain.Nora: How can I explain global warming and greenhouse gases to a 97-year-old Granny?John: Tell her the earth now is like a real greenhouse made of glass panels that let in light and trap heat.Nora: Think she’ll want to know that carbon monoxide from earth makes greenhouse gases? John: Everybody should know what cause global warming; otherwise we won’t stop it.Nora: I’ll tell Granny not to burn any more wood or coal, or to use spray on the hair.John: OK, joke about it, but it won’t be so funny when the polar icecaps melt and oceans rise. MODEL2 Rainforests will soon be only a memory.ScriptSusan: Hey, Chris, there is an environmental group on campus asking for donations to save the rainforests.Chris: So what?Susan: So what?! Don’t you want to save the rainforests?Chris: But there’re no rainforests in our country. They need hot, tropical climates.Susan: Come on. A rain forest is any forest where heavy rainfall leads to dense vegetation. Tropical rainforests can be found in hoe, tropical areas, but there are also cool rainforests, including one in southeast Alaska.Chris: How did you know that?Susan: Well, I’ve just read a book on rainforests. You know, 140nillion people live in the world’s rainforests, and 35 percent of the world’s plant and animal species exist only in rainforests. Chris: Wow, I’m impressed. So what else have you learned?Susan: Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers. They are disappearing at a rate of 1000 acres a minute!Chris: It’s terrible!Susan: Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to save them. Now would you like to give a donation?Chris: Sure.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers.They are disappearing at a rate of 100 acres a minute!B: What a tragedy! , Many of the world’s plant and animal species exist only in rainforests.A: We really need to save the beautiful forests.B: Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to save them.A: Do you know our mayor is making a call to plant trees?B: Yeah, we do have to plant more trees. I hear China doesn’t have a lot of forests compared with many countries.A: That’s true. I’ve just read an article about afforestation. China’s forest coverage rate was18.21percent last yea, ranking only 130th in the world.B: No wonder we have to plat more trees.A: Don’t lose heart. Progress has been remarkable. In 2000 the rate was just 16.55 percent.B: Any other good news?A: China has stepped up its tree-planting efforts. Now it’s the world’s No.1 planter of trees.B: Wow, I’m impressed.MODEL3 What a terrible sandstorm!ScriptSusan: Hey, John. You’re back. A few days ago, a big sandstorm hit our cityJohn: Oh, that’s bad.Susan: The air was full of dirt and sand and dust. I had to wear a scarf around my head.John: The dust, as I know, comes from Mongolia. And from my reading in science, I’ve heard the dust often comes after a long period of drought.Susan: This is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and unfortunately our city is one of them.John: And if the drought continues, the soil is easily airborne. And then if the wind comes, the soil can be lifted up on the cold are that rises up, and it can travel very long distances.Susan: Normally, when there’s a wind, it can clear the air, and you have beautiful weather. But when the dust is brought in with the wind, then you can’t breathe, you can’t see well, and it’s dangerous for driving, or for walking.John: Yeah. You know, when the dust is lifted up it can go as high 3,000 meters. And it’s not just China that has problems, but many other countries. For example, the middle of Australia sometimes has dust storms, and some of the dust goes up very high, goes across the ocean, and falls down on New Zealand.Susan: Not a very nice neighbor.John: Is there a solution to the problem?Susan: We need to plant more trees and grass so that the soil can stay where it is.John: No wonder the government is launching a new afforestation program in a bid t address the environmental problem.V. Let’s TalkMan 1: Well, it's inspirational language which is nice and lovely and fluffy, but doesn't really actually commit anyone to doing anything, and so it's really hard to take to the bank. I mean, people's lives are on the line in the developing world where we are seeing the impacts felt first and foremost, And obviously the atmosphere simply can't take the kind of emissions we've been seeing in the business-as-usual scenario and there's no real commitment to change that. There's no real commitment to put serious money on the table and that's a big problem.[On-screen text: Wind Farm]This is a great photo op for all the world leaders, but if it's not backed by action, it really doesn't mean much at the end of the day.Man 2: What's in there is very disappointing. It does not constitute a_ a deal. It's a hollow shell that will need to be filled in, and it has some numbers, it talks about trying to avoid two degrees. That's the same language that the G8 used last July. But it lacks anything on emissions cuts as yet that would guarantee that we're actually on the, on track to get there. And the financing commitments... there is a mention of a 1OO-billion-dollar figure and the attempt to raise or mobilize that level of resources, but there's no guarantee that there will be new money, that the money will be real, that there's actually a commitment to get there, or that it will be channeled in new ways, as yet.Key(1) -b (2) - a (3) -h (4) -d(5)-g (6)-e (7)-c (8)-fVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The environment and the developmentScriptLi: Hi Professor Wang, I’m Li Lin, a correspondent from the University Newspaper. The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and development. What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time?Wang: There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, over-fishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid train, over-consumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, more and more people andgovernments have adopted a new idea; that is, “sustainable development”. This meanstoday’s economic growth should not wipe out he resources and options for futuregenerations. Planning and development should ensure not only economic growth, butalso social advancement and environment health. In other words, some economicbehavior must be restricted or controlled. Instilling principles of development intogovernment planning, resource management and economic policy is the mostimportant step China could take to solve its environmental problems.China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment.For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, the government banned logging in theupper reaches of the Yangtze River in order to protect forests and reduce the risk offloods.Still, the basic contradiction between environment and development persists. Muchwork is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balance between economicgrowth and the environment.Task 2:ScriptA United Nations study says that a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia threatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early deaths. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries and power stations.Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves hs made the problem worse. Many poor people burn of fuels wood and animal waste in such stoves.Scientists say this combination could be changing winter rainfall levels in Asia. They say rainfall has increased over the eastern coast of Asia. But it has dropped sharply over parts of northwestern Asia. The report says the cloud could reduce rainfall over northwestern Pakistan, Afghanistan, and western China by up to forty percent.Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall. This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health. Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next thirty years as the population of Asia increase to an Estimated 5,000 million people.1.What is the true of the cloud of pollution?2.What is NOT the cause of the cloud of pollution?3.What does the cloud of pollution bring about?4.Why will the pollution intensify in the next 30 years, according to the passage?5.What do you think is the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.CTask 3 Mountain regions face a number of dangers.ScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world’s remotest regions increases.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world’s people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they ere like 60 years ago. This ismostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of its mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy. The mountains of Europe, part of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problem facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Viewing and speakingScript and keyWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are (l)signs that Santa's home in the North may be in trouble because of (2)warmer temperatures.The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its (3)warmest winter in 40 years.
