After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway tickets, money, scraps* of paper, and photographs tumbled* out of it; but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown-looking object no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves.The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me. After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed* the case already. This had not happened fortunately, for after a time, I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note ; and the "lost" receipt slipped out with it. I could not help blushing* and glanced up at the assistant. He I was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before, too!Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.Keys1.C2.

Or does it?In 1620, a group of settlers came from England to the “new world.” They bu ilt a small community in Massachusetts. Mark Story, a middle-aged widower, liv ed there. After his wife died, Mark shared a small cabin with a handsome young man named John Allen. Mark felt very lonely without a wife. One day he told Jo hn that he wanted to marry one of the young women of the community – Pamela Miller. But Mark was afraid to propose to her himself. So he asked his friend Joh n to do it for him.Poor John also wanted to marry Pamela. But he didn’t tell Mark that. Instea d, he went to Pamela and asked her to marry Mark Story. Pamela was surprised and disappointed. She listened quietly. Then she said, “Why don’t you speak fo r yourself, John?”Part 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 A CoinI was not more than thirteen years old at the time, certainly, but I remember the moment as if it were yesterday. I had just taken my place in class, when I noticed a small shining coin a few feet away from my desk. I am sure it was not the desire for gain which prompted me to stoop and pick it up, for the coin was a farthing and almost completely worthless. But its newness attracted me, and the fact that I could not spend a coin of such small value made me want to keep it forever. As the teacher was talking to us, I pretended to drop a pencil and bent over. From that moment, the coin was mine.The farthing and I remained firm friends for years. Trousers wore out, but the coin survived. It lived to see short trousers become long ones; it accompanied me in my youth and early manhood. It joined the army with me during the war, and later came to the office every day when I became a civilian again.Every night when I emptied my pockets and placed their contents on my bedside table, the coin made its appearance. Sometimes, it would play hide-and-seek with me and make me dig deeply into my pockets. But sure enough, it was always there, trapped inside larger items, like a pen-knife, or sleeping in the folds of my handkerchief. It certainly kept strange company. When I was a boy, it would attach itself to sticky sweets, or get caught in pieces of wire. When I grew up, it took its place proudly beside the silver coins that jingled in my pocket. It had reason to be proud, for I am sure it knew that I would rather have lost every single silver coin I had than part with the precious litter farthing. It did not shine any more, but at nighttime it would unfailingly arrive, last but smiling, and look up at me from my bedside table. One night, however, the coin was missing. I searched everywhere, but weeks passed and I did not find it. This time, I realizedsadly that it had gone for food and could only hope that it had found some nicer pocket to live in.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.l.C 2.

Today we”re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner ―types‖ndash; the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. Theylike to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now,concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. Theylike to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it”s unusual for a person to be exclusivelyone ―type‖ rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Part II A3GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / college general exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examinationbachelor”s degree: 3/ 4 yearsmaster”s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and that”s usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state you”re in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Somekids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, that”s about eleven, and that”s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and they”ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called ―freshmen‖, in the second they”re called ―sophomores‖, in the third year we call them ―juniors‖ and in the fourth year they”re called ―seniors‖. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they doa four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stayat primary school until they”re about eleven, then they”ll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of generalqualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entr eacute;e into a university or it”s another useful qualification, and from then on you go to varioussorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school.Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a community college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelor”s degree after three or four years of study. A master”s degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.B1 Idioms / vocabulary / French / spelling / pronunciationB2 1. F 2. T 3. Fndash; Interviewer Pndash; ProfessorI: And now we have an interview with Professor J. T. Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University, who is here to talk to us about the growing businessof teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English isbecoming ―big business‖ all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about itthat other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languagesndash; it”s essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes Englishfairly adaptablendash; which is a good thing for a world language ndash; but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the Frenchndash; like ―buy‖ which is Anglo-Saxonand ―purchase‖ which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige.I: Anglo-Saxon?P: That”s the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language toBritain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialectsndash; British, American and Canadian English.I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British?P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldn”t use the British term ―lorry‖ for truck, but we have kept the ―o-u-r‖ spellings in words such as ―honour‖ and ―colour‖.I: This has been very interesting. I”m afraid we”re out of time. It has been a pleasure talking to you.Part III University Life A1 I. Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday I”d like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Manystudents work at least part-time, some of them workfull-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, I”d like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.Let”s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it”s convenient to talk about an ―average‖ student for ourpurposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled inother countries and are not very well-versed ininternational matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.What kind of academic experiences will this so-called ―average‖ student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classesndash; for example, language classesndash; will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas theydon”t und erstand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage theirstudents to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.A2 II. Examinations / quizzesIII. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paperLet”s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generallyspeaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor”s office numberand office hours.I have only a couple of hours left, and I”d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it”s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified andhigh motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than thosein undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, butstudents are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentationthat summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.I hope that today”s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our systemand yours.B2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ Working outside the classroomPassive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himselfHow would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don”t do in the classroom?He”s eager to experiment with every new thingthat he learns, whether it be a structure of afunction or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.He”s interested in the mistakes he makes, he”s not afraid to make them.He”s not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?He plays with language.I”ve done this chapter I know this, withouttrying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.He”s usually passive, he won”t speak up much in the classroom. He”ll rarely ask you why this ----- Just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn”t do anything more with it.----- and in a test he”s the one person who”s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn”t too sure about that after all.And peep over at his neighbor”s paper.An alternative learning strategy.He invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. That”s theresult of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.That characterizes the good or bad learner?He”ll do more off his own bat as well, he won”t rely entirely on the teacher.He”ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.Students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.Part IV University Campus A2. the History Department3. the Psychology Department4. the Library5. the Education Department6. the Philosophy Department7. the Geography Department8. the Sports Ground 9. the Foreign Languages Department 10. the Chinese Department11. the Physics Department 12. the Mathematics Department 13. the Chemistry Department14. the Clinic 15. the Auditorium 16. the Administration BuildingLook at the map.

If you look at the biggest citiesin 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be thesixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.I: And London?E: London, which was number two, won”t even be in the top ten.

Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in the developing countries?E: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous. It”s estimated that 26 million people will be living in Mexico City by the year 2000, with Sao Paulo in Brazil not far behind.I: It”s difficult to believe.E: I know.

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it’s unusual for a person to be exclusively one “type” rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Part II A3GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / collegegeneral exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examinationbachelor’s degree: 3/ 4 yearsmaster’s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and that’s usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state you’re in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Somekids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, that’s about eleven, and that’s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and they’ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called “freshmen”, in the second they’re called “sophomores”, in the third year we call them “juniors”and in the fourth year they’re called “seniors”. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until they’re about eleven, then they’ll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entrée into a university or it’s another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school. Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a community college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelor’s degree after three or four years of study. A master’s degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.B1 Idioms / vocabulary / French / spelling / pronunciationB2 1. F 2. T 3. FI – Interviewer P – ProfessorI: And now we have an interview with Professor J. T. Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at ChimoUniversity, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English is becoming “big business” all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages–it’s essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptable – which is a good thing for a world language– but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French – like “buy” which is Anglo-Saxon and “purchase” which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige.I: Anglo-Saxon?P: That’s the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects – British, American and Canadian English.I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British?P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldn’t use the British term “lorry” for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r” spellings in words such as “honour” and “colour”.I: This has been very interesting. I’m afraid we’re out of time. It has been a pleasure talking to you.PartIIIUniversity Life A1 I. Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday I’d like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, I’d like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.Let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an “average”student for ourpurposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.What kind of academic experiences will this so-called “average”student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.A2 II. Examinations / quizzesIII. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paperLet’s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generally speaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours.I have only a couple of hours left, and I’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.I hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.B2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ Working outside the classroomPassive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himselfHow would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don’t do in the classroom?He’s eager to experiment with every new thing that he learns, whether it be a structure of a function or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.He’s interested in the mistakes he makes, he’s not afraid to make them.He’s not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?He plays with language.I’ve done this chapter I know this, without trying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.He’s usually passive, he won’t speak up much in the classroom. He’ll rarely ask you why this …Just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn’t do anything more with it.… and in a test he’s the one person who’s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn’t too sure about that after all.And peep over at his neighbor’s paper.An alternative learning strategy.He invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. That’s the result of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.That characterizes the good or bad learner?He’ll do more off his own bat as well, he won’t rely entirely on the teacher.He’ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.Students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.Part IV University Campus A2. the History Department3. the Psychology Department4. the Library5. the Education Department6. the Philosophy Department7. the Geography Department8. the Sports Ground9. the Foreign Languages Department 10. the Chinese Department 11. the Physics Department 12. the Mathematics Department 13. the Chemistry Department 14. the Clinic 15. the Auditorium 16. the AdministrationBuildingLook at the map.

The earth’s population has doubled since 1960 and with more than a billion young people just entering their productive years. The population growth has plenty of momentum. But birth control programs are beginning to have an impact. Demographers predict that by the middle of the new century the global count will level off at something under ten billion.

SeoulI-Interview E-ExpertI: In Britain we are often told that people are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside but is this the case worldwide?E: Not at all. If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.I: And London?E: London, which was number two, won’t even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950, by the way, was about 10 million.I: And why is this happening? Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in the developing countries?E: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous. It’s estimated that 26 million people will be living in Mexico City by the year 2000, with Sao Paulo in Brazil not far behind.I: I t’s difficult to believe.E: I know. Rio de Janeiro will have a population of a mere 13 million. Well, just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education.I: Yes. What about the cities of Asia? Will they be experiencing a similar sort of growth?E: In some cases, yes. Calcutta in India which was No. 10 in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million- quadrupling its size in just 50 years. Bombay and Delhi too are expected to be in the top ten.I: What about Japan?E: Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950 and that’s where it’ll be at the beginning of the nextcentury, although its population will have trebled to about 18 million. Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.I: Now, if we could turn our attention to home, what about the trend of people moving out of the cities…Part IV skills /the main idea/what/recognize/central / important/direction/ purpose/inform/compare/answer/stated/atopicsentence/ first/ details/ difficult/ persuade/ end/ implied/ hinted at/a wholeUnit 3 Traveling from Place to Place PartⅠABA912/11:20/17BA877/11:20/14BA292/11:25/19TW695/11:30/164EA831/11:35/24BA838/9IB290/11:35/15LH039/11:40/9BA666/11:40/18AI141/6BA560/22Last call for British airways flight BA912 for Tokyo.

Unit 1 Part B Talking about studying EnglishAt the gathering ,students in china and some countries. Yang Weiping ,Virginia Wang ,both first year college students are talking about their learning of English.Hello, my na me is Yang Weiping. I’m a freshma n at Peking University, and my major is Chemistry. At college we have to study a foreign language .I choose English because I like to listen to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Someday I hope to visit Britain and the United States. I started learning English several years ago and I’m getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories .My big problem, is ,however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak ,and I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcome my shyness, and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National Univers ity in Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job. I’ve studied English at high school. I’m good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English and our textbooks at university are written in English too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult. When I graduate from university ,I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books. Part C 课本上有原文。

英语听力入门3000第一册答案(12)英语听力入门3000第一册答案Many cultures, including France and a number of Latin American countries, show approval by the thumb-up gesture. But in Bangladesh, the same sign means rejection, not approval! Two thumbs are better than one in Kenya, where this double sign means approval. The thumb and all fingertips pulled together ("the hand purse"), while waving toward the body, means "good" in Tunisia. Unfortunately, the same sign can also mean "Wait!"In many parts of the world, people often use hand clapping to show thanks or positive feelings. Greeks indicate approval or "yes" by tilting their heads to either side. Downward nodding can mean approval in Lebanon and Iran. In T onga, raising the eyebrows indicates agreement or liking.An Italian gesture of praise or happiness is he "", in which the person pokes his or her index finger into the cheek and twists it. Kissing one's own fingertips is a sign of happiness, joy, and utter approval of something or someone especially in Europe and Latin America.Gesture of DisapprovalGestures of disapproval, dislike, or "no" are just as varied. Mexico and Costa Rica use the gesture of shaking the whole hand from side to side with the index finger extended and the palm outward. A similar gesture is used all the way in Japan.In Bolivia and Hunduras, people wave the index finger as a negative sign. In labanon, negativity can also be expressed by shaking the index finger from side to side.Folks in Barbados express disgust by puckering their lips and making a sound (chupse). In Bangladesh, the thumbs-up sign isused to show disapproval or rejection, not approval. In Greece, Iran, and Italy, a slight upward not (the head toss) shows "no".In many countries around the globe, a common sigh for saying "Go away" is brushing the fingers or the hand toward the irritating person or thing. No wonder it is called the "brush-off". Part IVChina is the biggest market in the world, and many countries such as Germany, the USA, the UK and Russia do a lot of business there. Let's have a look at some important tips to help you be successful with these nationalities.Firstly, you must be punctual with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, it's important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. Half past seven really means quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't besurprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In all four countries, it is best to dress formally and use dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are very common. Don't be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have "dress down Friday", when people wear casual clothes.In Germany, first names are only used with family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, souse titles and last names.In conversation, the British and the Americans value humor, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British. The Germans, however, prefer to get strait down to business!Finally, when doing business in all countries make sure you have a lot of business cards. Remember that in Germany, once a deal has been agreed, you can’t change it! In the USA, money is more important than relationships, whereas in Russia it’s important to get to know your contact well. Finally, don’t be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everybody participating and giving opinions!So, use these tips, and you will be on your way to s successful international business career!Unit 12Item oneDifferent people have different ways of learning. We call this your ―learning style‖, and it’s based on your senses. To learn, you need to use your different senses – hearing, seeing, touching, etc., to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening. They are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures. They are called visual learners. And some learn best by touching and doing things. They are called tactile learners. Now scientists don’t know why people use one sense more than the others. Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.下载文档。

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.It’s 3:15 in the afternoon and half the office just stepped out* for a coffee break. Your eyelids are starting to close and 7-11* is just around the corner. A soda or a bag of chips would be just the thing to perk you up*. So you, too, go out for an afternoon snack.Sometimes we eat simply because everyone else is doing it. Other times we eat when we feel tired, bored or depressed. Snack ing for the wrong reasons can lead to overeating and an unhealthy diet.Of course, there are times when our bodies really need extra energy. Here are four tips to keep your snacking on the right track.1. Know why you’re eating. Using food to change your feeling s can be a dangeroushabit. An order of French fries might distract* you from feeling sad for a while, but it’s only a temporary cure. Once the fries are gone, the problem is still there. If you’re feeling lonely, don’t reach into the refrigerator. Call a friend. If you’re feeling stressed, take a 10-minute walk.2. Find a healthy pick-me-up*. If you’re truly hungry, a healthy snack can give you theboost of energy you need. If you like fresh foods, bring a small bag of tomatoes or apple slices to work with you. To tame your sweet tooth, try a handful of dried fruit. A serving of nuts can be a perfect pick-me-up. They have the right combination of nutrients to give you the energy you need. But wait until you’re hungry to find something to eat. Plan ahead and bring something healthy with you.3. Eat just one serving. Don’t open up a whole box of crackers and st art munching*away. Instead, pull out just one serving and put away the box.4. Think of snacks as mini-meals. Eating small, healthy snacks can keep you fromstuffing yourself at the next meal. Instead of eating three big meals each day, split them into four or five mini-meals. You may actually eat less food overall.Use these tips to help you plan snacks ahead of time. The next time you have a snack attack, tame your hunger the healthy way.Questions:1. What happens when it’s time for a coffee break in the afternoon?2. What can a soda or a bag of chips do to you?3. What can snacking for the wrong reasons lead to?4. What can an order of French fries do to you?5. What can you do to tame your sweet tooth?6. What can thinking of snacks as mini-meals do?7.

You will hear the story only once. You can write down some key words and phrases.How long can anyone live in Germany without a purchase of either a cold stein* of beer or a clock? It didn’t take long for the beer, but my search for just the right clock took a few years.In my search I found a cuckoo clock*, an old French Tic-Tac clock, and a gold time piece giving the precise time anywhere in the world. Then came the grandmother clock with the lovely crystal panes* — but still no chiming grandfather clock.Suddenly I received a phone call from a friend. She knew a man whose mother had to move out of her home and the furniture was being sold. She asked whether I was interested ina very old clock?I made the trip into the countryside and found a small German home with lovely flowergardens.The family greeted me as a long-lost friend. We had coffee and apple cakes and then we headed for the attic.I knew the minute I saw him — the old grandfather. Surely he would be expensive! I said,“Yes!”We returned to our coffee and I asked the big question. “How much?”I paid 45 German Marks in cash, one large can of peaches, a pound of coffee, and a boxof Lipton Tea.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageTips on Healthy Eating and Physical ActivityScriptA. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy-to-prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt* with fruit, whole-grain waffles* or even last night’s pizza!It’s easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends.Take a 10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV.Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups — a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham* crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins*, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.Vigorous work-outs* —when you’re breathing hard and sweating —help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel best. Start with a warm-up that stretches your muscles. Include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such as running, jogging, or dancing. Follow up with activities that help make you stronger such as push-ups or lifting weights. Then cool down with more stretching and deep breathing.Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.You don’t hav e to give up foods like hamburgers, French fries and ice cream to eat healthy. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein*, carbohydrates*, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium* from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid* and checking out the Nutrition Facts Panel* on food labels will help you get all these nutrients.Eat more grains, fruits and vegetables. These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels* and pita*. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.Bananas, strawberries and melons are some great tasting fruits. Try vegetables raw, on a sandwich or salad.A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part —or food —isdifferent. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni* pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don’t forget about moderatio n. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, you don’t need a third.Questions:1. Which of the following is not included in easy-to-prepare breakfasts?2. How much time should you spend on daily physical activities?3. What is not true about vigorous work-outs?4. Why is it that you don’t have to give up foods like French fries?5. What can grains, fruits and vegetables give you apart from carbohydrates?6. What does “a healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts” mean?7. When can a right occasional snacking be OK?8. What is a healthy eating style?B. Listen to the passage again and discuss the questions.KeyA. 1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 8. DB. 1. Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you g oing after a long night without food andit can help you do better in school.2. Walking, biking or jogging are easy to be fitted into your daily routine.3. You must be smart about how often and how much you eat.4. Grains, fruits and vegetables give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins,minerals and fiber.5. To make a good diet, you should fit foods together and balance your choices.Part 2 VideoChina’s Hotel Expansion Cr eates Huge Demand for Qualified WorkersScriptWatch the video film and answer the questions.Learning how to dress appropriately is one of the most basic lessons at the Beijing Hospitality Institute. Although the tuition is much higher than at other colleges, students like Candy, from Anhui Province, say the cost is worth it.“My father said it was o kay for me to study this if I can be trained in all sorts of skills and find a job afterwards, and if I can develop my career in a hotel in a big city.”The school was established by private investors in 2008 and is graduating its first class this year. The students are taught English and all aspects of hospitality management, including special training in Chinese culture. James, a third-year student from Guizhou Province, relishes* the chance to share his culture.“Maybe tea is the best topic to talk with them — you are introducing tea and how to drink tea, and as foreigners, they will feel it’s very exciting.”China is a manufacturing powerhouse*, with a seemingly unlimited supply of labor. But this school aims to solve one of the biggest struggles for international chains expanding in China: finding and keeping qualified service employees. Marriott* executives say that, although they have success retaining management, it is a struggle to keep lower-level positions filled. Sandra Ngan is a Marriott human resources manager.“Now the current challenge is changing a little bit because of the single child policy —and honestly, that is the frequent feedback we hear from our competitors and also from thehotel school as well. We have less and less young people willing to join the hotel industry.”Service jobs still carry some social stigma* in China, so Ngan says it is also necessary to persuade Chinese parents to let their only child join what she calls the Marriott family. She learned the hard way when one train ee in Shanghai didn’t show up for his first day of work.“So we call home and then he was telling us, ‘I really want to come, but my parents locked the door. My parents don’t want me to work here.’”Marriott already has 60 hotels in China. An aggressive growth plan envisions that number to reach 100 by the end of 2014.Back at the Beijing Hospitality Institute, first-year students spend time in a hotel room to learn about what some of them say is their least favorite part of the job — housekeeping.Key1. The Marriott hotel chain has faced the toughest challenge of lacking enough qualifiedemployees in China.2. The institute established aims to provide international chains expanding in hina withsufficient service employees.3. They have considered it to be well worthy of being educated there.4. One is that there are fewer and fewer young people willing to join the hotel industryas the result of the single child policy. The other is that service jobs in China stillcarry some social stigma among Chinese parents.5. Forty hotels of Marriott in China will have been increased by the end of 2014according to the aggressive growth plan.。
