So I think I’m gong to do marketing as an elective instead.Q: Which class will the man choose as his elective?2.ScriptM: Did you go to that businesses lecture on Friday? I missed it and need to copy your notes.W:I’d say you could borrow my notes, but Sarah’s got them. Be careful not to miss Professor Brown’s seminar; he takes attendance in that.Q: What is the woman telling the man?3. ScriptW: Wow, Steven! In the library! What brings you here?M: I’m enjoying the view. All the girls in fashi on design are here are preparing for an exam on Monday.Q: Why is the man in the library?4. ScriptW:How’s your group doing with this statistics presentation? Mine’s terrible.M: Yeah, mine too. David and Mike are OK, but Steven doesn’t pull his weight and Suzie’s never around. I don’t see how we can pass unless Steven and Suzie realize that this is their last chance.Q: What is the true of Steven and Suzie?5. ScriptW: You took an MBA at Harvard Business School, didn’t you? What’s it like?M: It’s exp ensive, about U.S. $ 40,000 a year, plus the costs of food and housing. But the teaching is first class. The professors have a lot of practical experience.

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I’m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you’ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop.Jenny: What’s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I’ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He’s good if you’re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that’s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison:You’re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That’s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don’t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Than ks. I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says “on problem”, for they don’t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task2: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, “Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-onewho continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2.What did the runner do to score high on the exam?3.What is the good thing all top students agree on?4.What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Key: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DTask 3: Money for CollegeRobert was a university student. He liked to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do but to try to call his mother for help."Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I... uh... got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I'm going to need $100.""I understand," said his mother. "I'11 send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago.

When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her."Well, how much did you give the boy this time?" asked Dad."I sent two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1,000," answered Mom."You're out of your mind," yelled Dad. "That's $1,100. He'll just spend that in a couple of weeks.

At Florida’s Disney World, it’s a glass eye. At a hotel in England, it’s a goat and a false leg. How are all of these things similar? They are unusual things that people leave in hotel rooms, in airports, and on city streets. Irish Martino works in the l ost and Found Center at an airport in a U.S. city. “Sure, we find the usual stuff—cell phones, keys, sunglasses and wallets,” she says. “But people also forget some weird things at the airport, too.” “What does Ms. Martino find? A woman’s false teeth in th e bathroom. A mannequin in an airport waiting area. “ How do you forget those things?” Martino wonders. Nobuo Hasuda works for the Lost and Found Center in downtown Tokyo. The Center has almost 800,000 items Three hundred thousand od them are umbrellas! There are also many other things--- jewelry and briefcases, snowshoes and musical instrument. Mr. Hasuda keeps the lost items for six months and two weeks. After this time, the finder can take the item. This is good luck for some people. Remember the envelope in Tokyo with $ 850,000?

People think that actors spend their time at a lot of parties and nightclubs, but that isn’t true. Actors spend hours-many hours-studying their lines for each movie. And you really have to understand people so that you can understand your characters in the movie.I’m Janice. I think the most important thin g for a good doctor is being a good listener. You have to understand people and their problems. A good doctor likes to solve problems and always wants to help his or her patients. And you can’t be impulsive---you should always be careful. Sometimes the fir st answer you think of isn’t the right answer. Doctors need a lot of energy, because they are usually hardworking.Hi, I’m Daniel. To be a success in business, you have to work well with groups of people. At the same time, you need to have strong opinions and be able to explain your opinions clearly. Good business-people always like to make new things and try new ideas. They are very organized, and they work very long hours.Optional Listening 4The Dreamer:A dreamer thinks there is a “right” way to do t hings. This person wants to live in the “perfect world”.

These rules keep peace in the group. Partners are often serious, careful people. Many do well as teachers, managers, police officers, and politicians.The Thinker: For Thinkers, understanding things is very important. They like to solve problems and make new things. Thinkers can also be competitive. They like to win. They are independent and often have very strong opinions. Many Thinkers work as scientists, inventors, politicians, and engineers.The Artist: Artists want to be free. They don’t want to follow the rules all the time.

Interviewer: And welcom e back to the KPLX radio in Los Angeles. We’re talking this morning with Europe’s hottest singer, Yeliz. Thanks for joining us.Yeliz: Sure! Hello Los Angeles!Interviewer: So, tell us a little about yourself, Yeliz. Where are you from exactly?Yeliz: I was born in Istanbul, but I live in Scotland now. My dad’s Scottish. My mom’s Turkish.Interviewer: You’re only seventeen. What’s it like being successful at your age?Yeliz: It’s pretty exciting. I get to travel, and meet some interesting people.(B. )Interviewer: You’re touring now, but what are your plans for the future?Yeliz: After the tour, I want to take a break. Then, later this year, I plan to make a new CD.Interviewer: Do you have any advice for other young artists?Yeliz: Well, I’d say follow your dreams. Work hard, and you can be successful. Optional Listening 2If you want to become a successful businessman, you should do three things. First, you should think about your goals every day. Make plans for today, tomorrow, and next year. Second, you should join a business club. You can learn a lot from the other members, and they can give you good advice. Third, you shouldn’t work every night and every weekend. Sometimes you should take a break. You get more energy and ideas when you relax. And you need a lot of energy and ideas to make money!Optional Listening 3---Find your dreamWe all have dreams, but some people actually take their dreams come true. Their secret? They quit dreaming. And they start doing. Even a very big dream starts with small steps, and small goals. Maybe your dream is to become a doctor. Start by thinking about small goals for yourself. Ask, “What can I do today?” You can’t start medical school today, but you can send e-mails and make phone calls to get information about medical schools. Make a list of schools to call, and then call a few of them every day. What do you need for your dream? Tell friends and familymembers—many of them can help you. For example, you want to become an artist. You need a lot of cheap paper for drawing. Maybe your friend’s brother throws away a lot of big p aper at his office. So, share your dream with the world! Another good idea is talking to people who are doing your dream job. Do you dream about having your own restaurant? Go to your favorite restaurant and ask the owner lots of questions. Most people like to talk about their work.Optional Listening 4 ---A lifetime dreamEveryone has his or her own dream jobs. Let’s listen to Yi Wang, a 29-year-old young teacher, and Hicham Nassir, who are going to talk about their dream jobs.“At the moment, I’m teaching chemistry at a university in Beijing. It’s a good job, but my dream is to make films. In China, young artists move to Beijing from all over the country. Many of them are pa inters, writers, and actors. I’d like to make a film about their lives and their work.” Wang is writing the film now with help from her friends. But it isn’t easy. “At the moment, the biggest problem is money,” explains Wang. “We don’t have much.” But this isn’t going to stop Wang and her partners. She says, “First, we are going to make this movie. Then, we’d like to show it in China and, maybe someday, at film festivals around the world. ”16-year-old Hicham Nassir is a soccer player. He’s getting ready f or a soccer match with his teammates. Hicham, the team’s star player, is a native of Morocco. He now lives in London with his family. “My parents want me to go to college, and major in business or law,” he explains. “They want me to become a lawyer or a su ccessful businessman. I understand them, but I want to change their minds,” says Hicham, “I want to play soccer professionally. It’s my dream”Key: OL1: A. 1. singer; 2.

Unit 1Food QualityPart ⅠV iew, Listen and S peakTask One: Food Additives (1)Food additives are widely used in many countries. However, the discovery a number of years ago that the food additive Sudan Red was harmful to human health led to a backlash against all food additives.For example, the milk we drink in the morning has calcium added to it; numerous beverages contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and other minerals; store bought salt contains iodine, zinc and silica; and potato chips have as many as 10 types of food additives, such as spices, edible pigments, citric acid, flavor additives, sweetening agents and silica.MSG and condiments are considered food additives. Y east powder is also a food additive too and is usually added to steamed breads. Even sodium carbonate is a food additive, too, and is often added to make congee.To better understand the functions of food additives, Nature & Science did two interesting experiments at a bakery.Flour, eggs, sugar, salt and soda are the basic materials used in baking cakes.First, let‘s make a cake without any additives. Mixing egg yolks and whites evenly, we then add some sugar into it. When the egg and sugar are (done) being mixed, we immediately add flour, water, soda and bulking agents into the mixture and rapidly mix them to make the batter. All this must be done within 10 to 30 seconds after which the batter must be immediately placed into the oven to bake.Now, let‘s make some cakes with additives. When the eggs and sugar are being mixed, we add some cake oil to the mixture. The cake oil is composed of acidity regulators, antioxidants, vitamin C and sodium bicarbonate. It can make the egg-sugar mixture rapidly inflate. After flour, water and soda are poured into the egg-sugar mixture, the cake oil can form compound membranes with proteins in the cake batter. This can significantly improve the strength and stability of bubbles in the batter and make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.Even after the batter is left for some time, the bubbles will not disappear.After the cakes are taken out of the oven we can see that the cakes that had the oil added to them are much nicer to look at and are more flexible than those without the additives. Even the insides of the cakes are remarkably different. The internal structure of the cake without additives is uneven and brittle. But the internal structure of the cake with additives is even, soft and flexible and tastes delicious and moist.The benefits of food additives do not just apply to cakes but also to many other foods. Emulsifiers are what give ice cream its delicious taste. The sweeteners lead to low-calorie, low-sugar products.Without edible pigments, there wouldn‘t be various colorful candies.Without preservatives, canned foods couldn‘t be preserved for months on end, making it difficult to get them to consumers‘ hands before they go bad. Preservatives can prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure the freshness of nutrition in the food for a short period of time. From this aspect, food additives are very important to our health. Withoutthem, we can hardly imagine what life would be like. Food additives can keep and improve the color and flavor of foods. They can even increase the nutritional value of certain foods and improve the quality of our life. With the rapid development of the food industry, the type and usage of food additives have increased dramatically, and they have been applied more widely and become an indispensable aspect of modern food processing.Task Two: Food Additives (2)Food additives are widely used in many countries. Several years ago, the discovery that something called Sudan Red was harmful to human health led to a backlash against all food additives. I n toxicology, the dosage decides the toxicity.If the intake of a substance is below its acceptable intake level, damage to the human healthis within an acceptable scope. After evaluating the safety of a food additive, scientists put forthits acceptable daily intake (ADI) per kilogram of an average person‘s body weight as the basis for governments to stipulate the applications and maximum dosages of food additives.The Food Safety and Toxicology Evaluation Procedures issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health require that every food additive must undergo oral acute toxicity tests, genetic toxicity tests, teratogenic tests, 90-day feeding trials and carcinogenic tests in animals. According to their toxicological data, food additives are divided into 3 categories: very safe, safe and unsafe. The first category of food additives have no restrictions related to their usage in food processing. They do not need ADI values but simply reference dosages.For example, after a large number of biochemical and toxicological researches, the international Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) announced that it planned to cancel the acceptable daily intake restriction of monosodium glutamate (MSG).This shows that MSG is a very safe food additive. China‘s standards stipulate that MSG can be used in various types of food according to the practical needs of food production. For example, the maximum reference dosage of MSG is 1.3 milligrams per kilogram in candy, 190 milligrams per kilogram in condiments and 4,300 milligrams per kilogram in soups.The second category of food additives is food additives deemed safe. JECFA has establishedADI values for each of them.Their uses in food processing are restricted. For instance, long-term animal experiments show that lemon yellow has the weakest toxicity of synthetic pigments and is a safe food additive.Its ADI is 0―7.5 milligrams per kilogram. In China, it is stipulated that its maximum dosage is 0.1 grams per kilogram in fruit juices, drinks, candies and shrimps and 0.02 grams per kilogramin ice cream.The third category of food additives is unsafe. According to toxicological data, such additives are considered to be unsafe for use in food. In 2002, the Chinese Ministry of Health announced the prohibition of 59 types of natural raw materials in food, They are unsafe and if they are found in any food product, the company in question would be subject to legal action.Now that there are so many toxicological regulations overseeing the safety of food additives, why do so many consumers think food additives are a food safety issue? This perception is in part caused by the bad behavior of a very small minority of food processing companies who violate the state‘s health standards through the use of illegal food additives. They increase the dosage of food additives or add some things that are not food additives into food. Consumers should stand up and safeguard their rights.They have the right to know what additives are in the food they arebuying. For example, soy sauce usually has preservatives added. When a consumer buys a bottle of soy sauce in the supermarket, he can read the specific name of the preservative, say sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate, on the label of the bottle. Similarly, the specific names of sweeteners, such as xylitol and acesulfame potassium, added to soy sauce should also be marked on the label.When a type of food is added with more than 2 coloring agents, their specific names, such as Fancy Red and Bright Blue, should be clearly marked on the label. So when consumers buy food at the market, they can read the instructions on food packages to know what additives are in them.This red liquid is called Carmine. It‘s a synthetic edible pigment. Its acceptable daily intake (ADI) is up to 4 milligrams per kilogram. Its maximum dosage is no more than 0.1 grams per kilogram in candy and no more than 0.025 grams per kilogram in soy milk and sausage casing. It is important that we correctly understand food additives and what they are. We shouldn‘t regard them as harmful, nor should we be misguided by attempts to exaggerate their benefits.Task Three: Sanlu MilkInvestigation Continues into Sanlu Milk Powder Chinese authorities are launching an investigation, following reports of kidney stones in infants, after they were fed powdered milk made by Sanlu Company in Hebei Province. Sanlu has already admitted to contamination of the product.Friday saw investigators from the Ministry of Health, the quality watchdog and relevant departments visiting affected children in hospitals. They then visited Sanlu‘s headquarters in Shijiazhuang city, to take samples, and check on how the local government was dealing with the incident.An initial investigation shows milk powder containing melamine, which is used in making plastics, fertilizers and cleaning products.The quality regulator has launched a nationwide probe into all baby milk powders. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health is sharing relevant information with the World Health Organization.Part ⅣFurther D evelopmentFood Safety to Be Resolved in ChinaWell, The recent series of food safety scandals to hit China has prompted calls for a revamp to supervision practices. During the 3rd China Food Safety Forum, participants committed to implement stricter law enforcement to assure food safety in China.To buy or not to buy, it is a question many have to ponder now, as a wave of food safety scares has renewed fears in China over continued problems. Shoppers told us they hope food safety violations will be resolved in a more effective and timely manner.(A Beijing resident)“I often buy food and other products that are popular and have a good reputation.‖During the 3rd China Food Safety Forum, about 10 governmental departments related to food safety vowed to implement (more) stricter enforcement to assure the quality of food. (Y u Jun, vice director general of Department of Food Safety of State Council of China) “We will improve our monitoring system. We are urging the local governments to standard enterprises. Companies and individuals will be handed severe penalties if they break food safety or other laws pertaining to the quality of food.‖In China, there are about 500 thousand food production companies. But for many of them, a weak food value chain is the main problem. When a scandal emerges, the public interrogates notonly supervisory agencies, but also blames the food company at the center of the controversy.(Huang Qitai, chief scientist of Synutra International, Inc)“I think the food safety problem depends on the people in the company. We should raise our company‘s culture to a new level in order to win the respect of consumers, so we do not see the illegal additives in our food today.‖A publicity week on China Food Safety is also beginning around the country. The aim is to make people know more about the State‘s standard of food safety and the knowledge of additives in food.Tainted food scandals have caused nationwide concern. As, it is urgent for related departments to more strictly enforce laws and regulations to resolve the country‘s food safety problems, which concern everyone‘s health.练习答案Unit One Food QualityTask One1. 1) D 2) B 3) A4) C 5) D2. 1) materials 2) additives 3) sugar 4) mixture 5) oven 6) composed 7) inflate 8) stability9) Even after the batter is left for some time, the b ubbles won‘t disappear.10) But the internal structure of the cake with additives is even, soft and flexible and tastes delicious and moist.新闻英语视听说视频文本及练习答案Task Two1. 1) A2) B 3) D 4) B 5) DTask Three1. 1) B 2) A3) A4) D 5) B2. 1) investigation 2) kidney stones 3) contamination 4) investigators5) quality watchdog 6) affected 7) headquarters 8) samples9) how the local government was dealing with the incident10) which is used in making plastics, fertilizers and cleaning productsUnit 2Job HuntingPart ⅠV iew, Listen and S peakTask One: Graduates Feel Market SqueezeAccording to the job fairs we‘ve just seen and also recent surveys show the hiring prospects are bleak for this year‘s college graduates. In China‘s financial hub—Shanghai, and the country‘s export base—Guangdong province, most students are still waiting for job offers. As Wang Xiqing reports.Seven out of ten here still haven‘t found a job, and most of them are desperate.On average, these students in Shanghai have sent out thirty to fifty applications each. And in extreme cases, some have posted copies of their resumes six hundred times.Surveys show students‘ minimum salary expectations are between two to three thousand Y uan a month. Foreign or multi-national companies top the list in applications, while small private companies are the least favored, because of fears they couldgo bust the next day.Many students say they‘re willing to work as interns in the hope that excellent performance during their probation period (实习期,试用期)might win them a contract. However, only a very small proportion of companies are actually willing to take on interns. And even if they do, that often means low-value positions like answering phone calls at reception.The situation is even worse in Guangdong, where only 8.4% of final year students have signed labor contracts. Over 330,000 local college students will graduate in July, 14% more than last year. And adding the number of graduating students from other provinces coming to Guangdong in search for jobs, the army of young job seekers in the province will top 500,000 this year .To rub salt into the wound the demand for graduates has dipped by 20%, as companies are trying to limit their labor costs in the wake of the economic slowdown. The unfortunate figures mean that all their efforts to hunt down a job could prove to be fruitless.(A graduate student in Guangdong)“Whether you‘re from an urban or rural area, if you‘re unemployed, then you should expect some kind of minimum subsidy from the government. But we graduates are not officially considered to be unemployed. We‘re called people awaiting jobs. I‘m very disturbed by this definition.‖The employment situation was a top concern during the government‘s political sessions earlier this month. Officials acknowledged that hiring prospects in China are grave, and a slew of measures have been announced in the hope of relieving the situation. A total of 7.1 million college graduates will chase jobs this year, including 1 million who failed to secure employment last year.Task Two: New Y ear, New Job(Tracy) If you look at any list of New Y ear‘s resolutions, you wouldn‘t be surprised to see“Find a better job‖ right at the top. V era Gibbons of Kiplinger‘s personal finance maga zines is here to have some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change.(V era Gibbons) That‘s right. Good morning, Tracy! Nice to see you.(Tracy) Nice to see you, too. Happy new year.(V era Gibbons) The same to you.(Tracy) Start the new year, start looking for a new job, it‘s amazing. How many people are actually doing that?(V era Gibbons) Y es, one survey finds that 75% of American workers plan to look for a newjob this year. They‘re unhappy with the pay, they‘re unhappy with the situational they work, they want new challenges since there‘s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work. This is a time of the year where we‘re more inclined to take the bull by th e horns, take the initiative to go out there and find a good job… (Tracy) Resolution thing.(V era Gibbons) Y es.(Tracy) Is there a good time to go about doing this?(V era Gibbons) Well, opportunities pop up all the year along, but, yes, the heaviest of hiring does take place in the beginning of the year: they fire at the end of the year and they hire in the new. (Tracy) They fire for Christmas. So if you think about doing, you really should get out there now. (V era Gibbons) Get out there now, and get the ball rolling, yes.(Tracy) What about the job market in 2007? What does it look like?(V era Gibbons) It is softening a little bit, job growth is a little slowing down some because of the contraction in housing and auto-sell sector, but that‘s been offset a bit by the service sector. These companies are high in the service industry. We‘re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs be created this year, and once a writer by Career Role Builder actually found that 40% of employers will be hiring full-time employees t his year, so it‘s not a bad time, it‘s not great, it‘s, it‘s OK.(Tracy) OK, so if you‘re ready take the plunge, if you want to get out there, you have some tips, No. 1 is ―Do some soul searching‖.(V era Gibbons) Y es, I just think in order to get out a jo b that isn‘t going anywhere career, that‘s gonna drift, you really need to sit down and be proactive here. Y ou can‘t be reactive, you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to make any changes in your personal life.People may sit back and say: well, getting a paycheck and benefits are good, why rock the boat? Here‘s the thing: we‘re spending half of our life in workplace. If you‘re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, where you would like to go.(Tracy) And part of tha t, as you say, is ―Prioritize your options‖, what do you mean?(V era Gibbons) Y eah, I mean write down five to ten things that are important to you in your job and career, maybe you want a better work-life bounce, a more flexible schedule, whatever that happens to be, take a look at what makes you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals because you are more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.(Tracy) Good idea, you can actually write this all out. Also when you go out there for the job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say ―Make the resume stand out‖.(V era Gibbons) Y eah, you know, with the employees only spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume…(Tracy) Ten seconds?(V era Gibbons) Y eah, and get this on average, for every 245 resumes, they get the interview.One person per 245 resume, so it‘s very competitive. Y ou need to have your resume stand out, Keep it thin, keep it short, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you‘ll be looking for different jobs, you should be highlighting different skills different experiences that may be relevant for one position and may not be relevant for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of resumes all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.(Tracy) Ok, just briefly, you say do not look online, you need to hand this out, hand out to your friends, do lots of networking.(V era Gibbons) A lot of networking , that‘s the key.(Tracy) V era Gibbons, thanks.(V era Gibbons) Thanks.Task Three: Laid-off Workers in ChinaIn over two decades of opening up, China has gradually reformed into a market economy.One major move was to restructure the large state-owned enterprises (SOEs ). Some practices were successful and benefited many. But on the other side of the coin, several companies lost their competitiveness, and had to lay off workers in order to survive. In today‘s Working Asia,Zou Y ue brings us a story about laid-off workers.Everyday they walk into the factory to work, but now they have to worry about their jobs. For the 4 thousand workers at the state-owned Wuhan Boiler Factory, the country‘s reform drive has meant new challenges.35-year-old Ma Ling worked in this factory for 15 years. But in 2002, she lost her job, something she found hard to accept.(Ma Ling)“It was such a blow. I never imagined that I would get the sack (被解雇). It was such a big factory and I was so young. How could that happen? My confidence was totally destroyed at the time.‖Ma Ling‘s life depended on the factory. Her parents, her brother and her own husband have worked there all their lives. The change has led to worries about the future. In the days of a planned economy, SOEs offered life-long benefits for workers, from housing and medical care to pensions and insurance. But since 1998, about 30 million employees in China have lost their jobs and also the benefits that went with them, due to either downsizing or bankruptcy .(Zou Y ue)“For workers laid off by China‘s SOEs, it has not been easy adapting to the industrial reshuffle (改组). But decades of market reform have made Chinese workers realize the importance of finding a way out on their own. For many, it has become a part of their life.‖Like her colleagues, Ma Ling struggled to find other work. Six months after Ma Ling got the axe (get the sack), she found a position she found embarrassing for an experienced electrician--workshop garbage cleaner.(Ma Ling)“Although the job was dirty and tiring, I had to take it. After all the losses, I was glad for the chance. It means eve rything to me.‖But between 2000 and 2002, the factory continued to lose money, and had to lay off half its staff. Those who stayed faced tougher competition to stay in their positions. After losing their iron rice bowl (铁饭碗), they are now walking an economic tight rope. To make matters worse, the enterprise was having a hard time feeding its 3 thousand retirees. The managers found it was no easy job trying to make ends meet.(Chen Helin, deputy general manager of Wuhan Boiler Group)“We have to make the laid off employees understand that they have to change their mind set. Survival of the fittest (适者生存) is our rule. While we have tried our best to accommodate the employees, the workers have to find their own way o f life if possible.‖The factory tried to make things easier by restructuring (调整,改组) its remaining workforce on the one hand, while leasing some of its street front houses for the jobless to run small businesses,like this shopping façade (正面) . But there simply is not enough for everyone.(Xu Liangjun, deputy director of Wuhan Reemployment Work Office)“As an old industrial city, there is a large gap between job opportunities and demand. Since 1998, over 500 thousand workers have become jobless in this city of 7 million people. We can only hope the local economy picks up to provide more jobs for them.‖Ma Ling was lucky to later get promoted again, but at the same time two of her colleagues got laid off. The reform has changed the lives of many, who have had to adapt to the reality of a new economic environment.Not only laid-off workers need to find jobs, tens of thousands of Chinese graduates also want to find them as well. About ten years ago, the Chinese government stopped the practice of assigning jobs to college graduates. Now, they have to face their first employment challenges on their own. Part ⅣFurther D evelopment20%of Graduates Are JoblessUrban unemployment might be low, but recent college graduates are having a tough time getting a job. A recent blue paper issued by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says that one out of every five graduates is unable to find work.All these college students and recent graduates crowding into the Beijing Expo Center have just one goal: to find themselves a job. One that pays well, has a good reputation, and matches their major if that exists.Water Zhu graduated last June with a degree in computer technology. He moved to Beijing from Inner Mongolia to improve his prospects. This is his eighth job fair.(Water Zhu)“Competition is so high, so it‘s very hard. They want to hire the best, an d not everyone is the best—o of course it‘s quite difficult.‖The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reports that in 2006, 4.13 million students graduated in China. Last year, it was 4.95 million. This year, 5.5 million additional graduates will be looking for work. About 20% of the graduates last year failed to find a job. Those they did may have to settle for salaries lower than they expected, in jobs they didn‘t‘ train for.Graduates can‘t find work—but companies say they can‘t find people to hire. Ev en here at this crowded fair, these recruiters say very few people actually spoke to them to ask about jobs—and that‘s not what they‘re looking for.(Robert Norrie, V olk Uniontech)“We‘re looking for somebody who is really confident, who has an out-going personality‖(Wu Hai, L.A.D. Industries)“Building confidence is important. Universities should focus more on this – many students have very little opportunity to present themselves.‖Experts say the Chinese university system churns out graduates who have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but not very much practical knowledge for today‘s workplace.But universities are struggling too, as enrollment numbers keep surging. This year, almost 6 million students will enter university—a five percent increase from last year.(Zeng Xiangquan, Dean of School of Labor & Human Resources of Renmin University) “Higher enrollment means universities sometimes cannot keep up—they can‘t meet the demands and provide sufficient resources for all of the students.‖The government is trying to ease pressures too—at the beginning of this year the China Employment Promotion Law went into effect to ban hiring discrimination and help graduates who take jobs outside of the big cities. But that still doesn‘t address what some see as the biggest challenge: teaching students to function in a workplace.Today‘s graduates need what are called soft skills: communication, teamwork, and the ability to work on projects.And a survey by job search website found that the majority of recruiters want graduates who have work experience.Its human resources consultant has this advice: Don‘t hold out for an impossible ideal. Take anyoffer you can get, and just start working.(Jim Hao, Consultant of )“Get a job. Whatever, first. And to know yourself and your environment step by step until you gradually get a clearer picture of yourself—your interest, your ability, and your environment. Which industry is the most suitable for you?‖That‘s exactly what graduate Wate r Zhu is doing. He‘s found temporary work at a stock brokerage, while he keeps searching for jobs in the computer industry. He says despite the competition, what‘s important isn‘t landing the dream job—it‘s figuring out how to get there. (Water Zhu)“It‘s only during the job search that I began to realize what I‘m capable of. That has actually been the most useful thing—to understand myself better and set goals for my future.‖练习答案Unit Two Job HuntingTask One: Graduates feel market squeeze1.

Flights have been cancelled and roads have been closed, stranding passengers and vehicles. The Xinjiang-Tibet highway has been partially reopened after it was blocked for nearly 80 hours. Local police have rescued 85 stranded people.A large scale blizzard hit Ali Prairie in Tibet Autonomous Region on Friday morning, forcing sections of Xinzang Highway linking Xinjiang and Tibet to close, and stranding vehicles and passengers. Soldiers from the Chinese People‘s Armed Police Force, worked for 48 hours to clear the road with snow machines. A section of highway in Tibet Autonomous Region was finally reopened on Sunday evening. So far 85 stranded passengers and 25 vehicles have been rescued. Heavy snow has affected more than one million people in eastern China‘s Anhui Province, causing an economic loss of 210 million yuan, or 29 million US dollars. In the Dabieshan mountains, four power transmission towers were brought down by thick ice. Nearly 400 workers are repairing the towers, which are part of a major cable network sending electricity from the Three Gorges Project to Shanghai. The repair work is expected to last eight days. In Guangzhou, south China, more than five thousand passengers have been stranded at the airport. In southwest China‘s。

Unit 1 Differences Between Cultures Thinking AheadStudents are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below:1. How do you think about the word “culture”?Culture is a word for people’s“way of life”, meaning the way they do things. A group of people has a separate culture when that group sets itself apart from others through its actions. Cultures are what make countries unique. Each country has different cultural activities and cultural rituals. Culture is more than just material goods, that is things the culture uses and produces. Culture is also the beliefs and values of the people in that culture. Culture also includes the way people think about and understand the world and their own lives.2. Why should we study cross-cultural communication?Cross-cultural communication refers to the study of successful communications across different cultures. It concerns the understanding of tradition and modernization, consistency and change. As we understand some of the ongoing national characteristics of a people, we can examine how this culture is seen from the outside, how it interacts with other cultures and how it is changing.The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.The challenge is that even with all the good will in the world, miscommunication is likely to happen, especially when there are significant cultural differences between communicators. Miscommunication may lead to conflict, or aggravate conflict that already exists. So it is very important that we should study cross-cultural communication.(From /english/news/culture/200805/13-86570.html) Part I Video TimeIn this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will watch a video clip from Gua Sha and then do the exercises as required.

Does either of the counselor have problem with my holding hearings in chambers?To tell you the truth, because I can’t stand that awful echo in the courtroom, you know, winds in the gallery. (People were chuckling.)Lawyer Quinlin: No problem, your honor. John Quinlin, attorney for the defense. Judge Horowizs: Why that I’ve never seen you around before, Mr. Quinlin?Lawyer Quinlin:I’ve never had the honor, your honor. Er, I deal mostly with the intellectual property rights cases.Judge:Apples and oranges(风马牛不相及), Mr Quinlin; The two areas of law have virtually nothing to do with each other.Lawyer Quinlin:Well, yes, of course. So I told my client. But he insisted on my representing him. Also I’d like to have the record show that my client only had two days’ notice of this hearing; also for me only 24 hours’ preparation time. Judge: I think we are putting the cart before the horse(本末倒置), your counselor.This hearing is for the purpose of determining whether there is sufficient evidence to advance court proceedings, so take off your lawyer caps. And before we get caught to these formalities, let’s just talk about the matter. Will the Child Welfare Agency care to start?Lawyer Davis: Yes, your honor. We are prepared to proceed in any way you save it.Three days ago, we received a telephone call from the social worker on duty at St. Matthew hospital informing us of a possible case of child abuse discovered as a result of medical examination by Doctor Michael Longman. Upon administrating treatment in the ER to Denis Xu, Doctor Longman had reason to suspect that Denis had been the subject of physical abuse.Judge: I’ve read the report, Ms. Avery. Very thorough as usual.Lawyer Davis: As you can see, the medical report indisputably proves that Denis Xu has been a subject of deliberate, long-term neglect and abuse.Lawyer Quinlin: Objection! No foundation, just conjecture and speculation!Judge: This is a hearing, not a trial, Mr. Quinlin, but you make a fine point. Lawyer Davis: In order to supplement the medical report, you will know that we provided additional evidence.(Lawyer Davis opened a suitcase.)Lawyer Quinlin: Your honor, we haven’t received any copies of evidence or report related to this case.Margaret Avery (murmuring): I thought you provided them with copies.Lawyer Davis: En. Sorry, your honor, no recite.Margaret Avery: I do n’t know how this could have happened.Lawyer Davis: Your honor, the CWA was currently carrying a full investigation of this case and has located a considerable number of witnesses, all of whom are prepared to testify regarding Mr. Datong Xu’s violent nature, and the neglect and abuse he has inflicted on his young son Denis.Lawyer Quinlin: And I can produce a hundred witnesses to testify that he is a good husband and father who rather die than see his family harmed. I count myself chief among those witnesses.Margaret Avery: As my colleague has just stated, we are in the midst of a full investigation, but we will not be calling any witnesses: we feel there is no need. Datong Xu: She really doesn’t have any witnesses.Lawyer Quinlin: Or she thinks she doesn’t need any.Margaret Avery:Your honor, I have incontrovertible evidence that I feel we will quickly settle this matter in the court’s mind.(Margaret Avery and Lawyer Quinlin both walked to the judge.)Lawyer Quinlin: Your honor, perhaps I don’t understand family law, but I do understand Datong Xu. These accusations are ludicrous laughable.Margaret Avery: Perhaps you don’t understand your friend as well as you think you do.(Margaret Avery presented pictures to the judge.)Margaret Avery: According to the doctor’s report, the condition and coloration of the bruise were inflicted two days prior to Denis’ head injury. We believe these photographs are sufficient evidence to demonstrate that Denis Xu lives ina dangerous home environment, and should remain under the protection ofthe state.Judge (sternly): Please return to your seat.Lawyer Quinlin:(to Datong Xu) How could you do this to your son? Is this something you forgot to fill me in on? Did you think they will never notice your son’s back like a piece of roast beef?Datong Xu:That is Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese medical treatment. Denis had stomach ache that day, and Gua Sha is simply a cure, a… a home remedy, you call it. I had this done on me in this time when I was a kid.Lawyer Quinlin: If this is what you call some kind of treatment that he does see what you considered as child abuse!Judge: If you two want to chit chat, we can all go home. Does the defense have something more to add?Lawyer Quinlin: No.Datong Xu:Yes I do! I think you don’t understand. You know, Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment used for nearly all kinds of illnesses. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine had recognized that there are seven Jing and eight Mai(七经八脉). Er, for example, it is like small streams that run in to rivers and in turns fall into a sea. A person’s body has an invisible but very complex system of vessel network, just like the computer network. And also the human Qi from Dantian finally goes to Dantian. It is the same principle!! Judge: Your kind, what is he saying?Datong Xu: It’s the kind of…(interrupted by the judge)Judge: We don’t understand what you say. Perhaps I should put it in another way.What does it say on every Missouri license plate?Datong Xu:Show-me state(用证据说话).Judge:Precisely. Can you get an authoritative medical expert to back your testimony in plain English that an old country judge can understand? Datong Xu: Yes, I can try.Judge: Did you do this Gua Sha to your son yourself?(A pause)Judge: Mr. Xu?Datong Xu: Yes, I did it myself.Mrs. Xu: No! It wasn’t him.(Datong Xu started to speak Chinese.)Judge: I warn you: this hearing must be conducted in a language we all can understand. Did you have something to add at this discussion?Mrs. Xu: No, your honor.Judge: Let me ask you one more time for the sake of clarity. Did you do this Gua Sha to your son?Datong Xu: Yes, I did.Judge: Then until I was shown otherwise, I have no choice but to conclude that Denis Xu lives in an unsafe home environment, and should be kept under the supervision of the Child Welfare Agency tending a full trial on the charges.

Before watching, students are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural note related to the video.TranscriptThe Art of Paper-cuttingWhat I have done is only a rough idea of what I’m going to cut out. Then I’m going to cut it out with my scissors.(Folk paper-cutting is a Chinese art form. It’s just like traditional Chinese painting, oil painting or calligraphy. What’s wonderful about paper-cutting is that it isn’t just limited to people in the countryside—everyone from all different communities do it too.)(Just like she mentioned, Liu Ren tries her best to promote the art in China and also the world.)I like doing freehand paper-cutting. Ideally you shouldn’t draw a design on the paper andthen cut it out. The best part about paper-cutting is you, the paper and scissors working together. In 1993, I was invited to exhibit Chinese paper-cutting to other countries. I hope to build more recognition for Chinese folk paper-cutting. In order to pass on this art form, I teach people who really love the art of Chinese paper-cutting, and I don’t charge them any tuition. Last year, I had an American student who was studying Chinese culture at a UK university. He came to China to write his thesis. I gave him some lessons on Chinese paper-cutting. After he went back to continue his studies, he entered a logo design competition in his university. He created a logo by doing a paper-cutting and he won the top prize! The young student was so excited and he told me that his college friends all wanted to learn more about Chinese paper-cutting and even about me. The art form is warmly welcomed in the UK. My dream is to set up one or two paper-cutting museums inother countries.When I was young, I made butterflies in different art forms. I think everyone is born with artistic talent.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Watching for DetailsStudents are asked to watch the video clip and answer the following questions. 1) What’s wonderful about paper-cutting?Paper-cutting isn’t just limited to people in the countryside and everyone from all different communities does it too.2) What does Liu Ren try her best to do?She tries hard to promote the paper-cutting art in China and also the world.3) What does Liu Ren do to pass on the art of paper-cutting?In order to pass on this art form, she teaches people who really love the art of Chinese paper-cutting, and she does n’t charge them any tuition.4) Where does Liu Ren’s student come from?America.5) What is Liu Ren’s dream?Her dream is to set up one or two paper-cutting museums in other countries.

When I was young, I made 9)Part II Listening ActivitiesIn this part, you will have 3 listening tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will listen to a passage about national symbols and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptNational SymbolsWhen many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual. Millions of Chinese have the word “long”, meaning dragon, as part of their name s.China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales, one of the four countries in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, the tiny country between China and India.Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol to represent their country, and it is particularly obvious during sports. The English see lions as brave, proud animals and the England football team have three lions on the front of theirfootball shirts.Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a kind of small kangaroo. Similarly, the South African team are known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope, and the New Zealander s, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as Kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can’t fly.All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shanghai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon, and as we are all familiar with that Chinese symbol, people in the west would no doubt want China to keep the dragon too.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).F 1) People in the west have the same ideas about dragons as people in China.F 2) In China, dragons bring bad luck.T 3) Only two countries in the world have a dragon on their flag.T 4) The England football team have three lions on the front of their football shirts.T 5) Many Chinese people want to keep the dragon as a symbol of China. Exercise 2 Listening for Specific InformationStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.When many people in the west 1) think of China, the animal that they think of is the 2) dragon . For them, the dragon is an 3) aggressive monster that 4) breathes fire. Many popular 5) legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster.

Dragons are celebrated in art and 9) architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular 10) ritual. Millions of Chinese have the word ‘long’, meaning dragon, as part of their na me. Exercise 3 Essay WritingChina, as one of the oldest countries in the world, does not only have the dragon as her symbol, but also a lot of others, which keep distinctive ancient Chinese features. Now students are asked to write an essay entitled Chinese Symbols with no less than 160 words to introduce other distinctive symbols of China.SampleChinese SymbolsIt is known to all that national symbols are heavily culture-oriented. With the world’s longest continuous civilization, for more than 40 centuries, its people created a culture with strong philosophies, traditions and values. Thus, the national symbols for china are numerous and distinctive.The first to mention is, the Great Wall, which is one of the symbols of China and one of the seven wonders in the world. In the imperial periods, this magnificent construction was used in the defense of enemies. Sublime as it is, the Great wall is the only construction on earth that can be seen from the outer space.When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they may think of is the Giant Panda, which is the national animal of China. Giant Panda is one of the most precious animals in the world. It is easily known by its large, distinctive black patches around the ears, and on its rotund body.Terracotta-clay warriors, which unearthed in Xi’an, is another symbol to represent Chinese long history. It is a famous ancient city, which was sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China.As one of the cradles of human civilization, China possesses so many treasures with distinctive characteristics. The above mentioned are just a drop of water into the sea and a grave stone in comparison of the sand.Task 2In task 2, students will listen to a dialogue about culture shock and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural note related to the dialogue.TranscriptCulture Shock(Terry Joyce talks about her experience of living and working in England, where she has been for the past eleven years.)Interviewer: So, Terry. You have been in England for quite a long time now. Terry: Mmm.Interviewer: What differences do you notice between England and the United States?Terry:Obviously the biggest difference is the people. The average Englishman is…mmm…cold and not very open.Interviewer: Oh.Terry: In the United States it’s very different. We start conversations with people in the street, in the subway; we’re a lot more outgoing than people here. You know, when I first came, I couldn’t understand why I was getting so little reaction from people, but now I see that they thought I was overpowering and too friendly too soon.Interviewer: But, tell me: Does the Englishman improves as you get to know him? Terry: Oh, yes.Interviewer: Oh, good.Terry: Once you have made a friend, it’s a friend for life, but it takes a very long time. I’ll tell you something that I think is very important. An Englishman in America is respected. Everyone wants to talk to him. We’re inquisitive. We love his accent and his country.But Americans in England are thought to be a little inferior because of their loud behavior and their language. One thing I’ve learned is that English people like a certain distance. When I was talking to someone, he would move away, you know, move backwards, and I thought.“Do I smell? Am I boring him?”The reason is, you see, Americans stand closer when they’re talking while English people like a certain distance. Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).F 1) The biggest difference the interviewee notices between England and America is the accent.T 2) When the interviewee first went to England, she got little reaction from the people there.T 3) Friendship with an Englishman lasts longer than that with an American.F 4) When the interviewee talked with the English people, they usually movedbackwards because of her bad smell.T 5) According to the dialogue, Americans in England are thought to be a little inferior because of their loud behavior and their language.Exercise 2 Listening for Specific InformationStudents are asked to listen to the dialogue again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1) English people, in general, are cold and not very open. Compared with the English people, Americans are more outgoing.2) When the interviewee first went to England, she was considered overpowering and too friendly too soon.3) It takes a long time to make friends with the English people. But once a friend is made, it is a friend for life.4) The Americans like to talk with an Englishman because they love his accent and his country, while Americans in England are considered inferior because of their loud behavior and their language.5) When talking with each other, Americans stand closer while English people like a certain distance.Exercise 3 Topic ResearchAfter listening to the dialogue, we know that culture differences may cause the anxiety or feelings of surprise, disorientation, uncertainty, confusion, etc., especially when in a foreign country. This kind of anxiety or feeling is called culture shock. Do you know how to cope with culture shock in order to enjoy a happy time in a foreign country? Try to research into this topic and present your ideas to the class. Reference for the PresentationCulture shock happens to those who leave home and live in an alien country. It is possible to shorten the duration of culture shock or minimize its impact. Here are three suggestions they offer to anyone planning a stay in a foreign land.Firstly, we should be aware that such a thing as culture shock exists. It will affect those who come to a foreign land for the first time, however, it doesn’t last forever.Next, we should know that we are responsible for our salvation, not the surrounding or the foreign culture.Thirdly, try to accept the idea that culture shock is a very valuable experience, which may be a little bit painful. It will stretch your mind, broaden your perspectives, deepen your insight into yourself and widen your tolerance for other people. Additional ListeningIn this section, students will listen to a passage about Journey to the West and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read thewords, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptJourney to the WestWhat do you get when you combine a 16th century work of Chinese literature, a renowned Chinese theatre director and a British rock star?The result is Monkey: Journey to the West, a show which blends acrobatics, music, animation and martial arts to tell the story of Sun Wukong and his travelling companions on their journey of redemption.Performed in Mandarin to sell-out crowds in London’s Theatre Royal last week, the show is a stage adaptation of the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West.“An unclassifiable extravaganza” was how The Guardian described the show, while another reviewer said it was a performance that “left no genre untouched and whose scale of ambition could only be marveled at.”Indeed, for director Chen Shi-zheng, bringing the wildly imaginative Chinese tale to a 21st century western audience was a creative challenge that allowed him and his team to mix together a wide range of influences.The score was composed by British musician Damon Albarn, lead singer of Blur and co-creator of the virtual cartoon band Gorillaz. It is played by an orchestra that uses both western instruments and the traditional Chinese pipa(琵琶), guzheng (古筝)and zhongruan(中软).Another aspect which makes this show stand out is the use of animation, which is projected onto a la rge screen behind the stage. Director Chen said “the integration of animation and sound was really a work of genius.”The Monkey King, as Sun Wukong is known in English, as well as Pigsy, Sandy and a host of other characters and monsters are brought to life by 40 acrobats from the Dalian circus troupe.Even though The Monkey King is less well-known outside North-East Asia, many British people fondly remember a cult 1970s TV series called Monkey.And this isn’t the last British people will be seeing of The M onkey King this summer.Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Listening for DetailsStudents are asked to listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.1) D2) C3) CExercise 2 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and decide whether the followingstatements are true (T) or false (F).T 1) Journey to the West was written in the 1500s.F 2) There were lots of tickets left unsold for the performances in London.F 3) The show was in English.F 4) The show used only traditional Chinese instruments.T 5) Many people in the UK were already familiar with the character of Sun Wukong.Part III Oral PracticeIn this part, students will have 3 tasks to accomplish.Task 1 Group DiscussionStudents are asked to list all the body gestures that they can think of, and then discuss what each gesture means in a Chinese or foreign context. After the discussion, they can share with the whole class.SampleIn China, when people meet each other, they will shake hands with each other. However, men in Russia, France and Arab countries will kiss each other on the side face when they meet each other.The difference also exists in how to wave their hands. For American people, they will wave each other good bye. But South American will not leave if you wavegoodbye to them, because in their culture, waving to other people means to call them to come closer.As for Chinese people, they have a special way to express the meaning of numbers, while there is nothing paralleled in western culture.Task 2 Picture DescriptionStudents are asked to describe the given pictures. The following sample is just for teachers’ reference.SampleIn China, the dragon (long) is believed to be a sacred and beneficent animal. It ascends to the sky in the spring, bringing beneficial rains onto the dry earth. It is considered an auspicious creature because it brings forth blessings, festivity, and happiness, benefiting everything on earth. The importance of the dragon to the Chinese people is indisputable.The Chinese dragon also symbolizes power and excellence, valiancy and boldness, heroism and perseverance, nobility and divinity. A dragon overcomes obstacles until success is his. He is energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent and ambitious.However, the dragons in the western culture are viewed as evil and aggressive monsters, which are usually large and ferocious fire-breathing creature in myths, legends, and fairy tales that green scaly skin, a long tail, and wings. It symbolizes。

youre british, huh? mark yes, im fromlondon. and you are ...?janet im li hui. im from china. but you can call me janet. mark hi janet. welcome to england. what are you reading? janet english.mark how about you, kate?kate my major is law. and you?mark im studying ppe.1kate thats a special oxford subject, isnt it?outside viewjulie my names julie dearden, and im the director ofinternational programmes here at hertford college.eugene my names eugene berger, i studied here in oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at somerville college.julie oh, there are many oxford traditions. oxford is a very old university,the oldest english-speaking universityin the, in the world. and so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.eugene each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. some colleges arevery conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition ofum, kind of liberal politics. but there are also some specific traditions.julie formal hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professorsand the students. usually it takesplaces at seven oclock in the evening, and the professors sit on high tablewhich is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, whichare the tables here. but everybody eats together. its a very beautifulevening because there are, theres a special meal and we eat by candlelight. eugene i think er, the traditions that make oxford so unique are firstlythe oxford union and er, secondly, mayday. the oxford union being a debating society where speakers come fromall around the world to address the students and even allow themselves tobe questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. julie my favourite is er, may day. and may day is the first day of may, and we havea tradition called maymorning, and on may morning everybody gets up very early and thestudents have a celebration. there is a choir which sings on top of thetower at magdalen college and all the people of the town and all thestudents go to listen to the singing. so its very nice.eugene the tradition that er, was most important to me was probablysummer eights. i was a rower. andsummer eights is a rowing competition, held in may in the summer term.and in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which itwon the previous year and gradually work its way up the river. julie whenthe students take exams, they must go to a special building and its called examination schools. andalso they must wear a special uniform, so they wear e. gown like mine, ablack gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie andblack trousers. the women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or blacktrousers. and they mustwear this uniform, which has a latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. eugene i think the oxford traditions lend character to the placeand its such an old institution, it should havetraditions, but they can be very inconvenient. for example, sub fuse. this is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear. julie they also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. and they wear differentcolours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. so when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.eugene so we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. and towrite an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which yourenot allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable. julie i really like theoxford traditions, i think its part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at oxford university.listening inpassage 1interviewer can you tell me something about the ivy league? youre a professor at harvard, is that right? professor thats right, yes.interviewer tell me how many universities are there? how many institutions?professor in total there are eight institutions: theres harvard, yale, brown, columbia, cornell, dartmouth,princeton, and the university of pennsylvania.interviewer ah, ok. and whats the sporting ... i believe theres some linkwith sports.professor there certainly is, yes. originally the ivy league referred tothe sports teams from the universitieswhich competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. but in the last 50 years, ivy league schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasnt possible to be both world-famous for research and alsotop class in sport.interviewer and what about their academic importance? i gathertheyre academically very, very important, 2theyre very well-known.professor absolutely at the top. theyre near or at the top of the usa colleges and university rankings. andtheyre almost always in the top one per cent of the worlds academic institutions for financial resources. interviewer and what does it mean socially to go to an ivy league university? professor certainly if youve been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top endof the scale. the ivy league institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white anglo-saxon, protestants. not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.interviewer and do you know ... whys it called the ivy league, whats the origin of the name?professor there are a number of stories, derivations, butpossibly its based on four universities, and iv, theletters iv, thats the roman numeral for four. another morelikely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age ofthe universities, you know, would be grown at the walls ofthese universities, these institutions, they cover the walls ofthe buildings. the term was created by a sports journalist, ithink in the 1930s.interviewer right, ok. and which is the oldest university? professorthe oldest goes back to the 17th century, thats harvard which wasfounded in 1636. and the youngest of the institutions is cornell whichwas founded in 1865. interviewer and which has the largest numberof undergraduates?professor cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. the institution with the smallestnumber is dartmouth college with a little over 4,000. interviewer and what about the acceptance rate? is it hard to get into?professor that ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent. interviewer and any famous alumni? famous old boys? professor hundreds! hundreds of them. but i suppose worldwide, the two thatwould be definitely known allover the world would certainly be george bush who went to yale, andjohn f kennedy, president kennedy, who was at harvard.interviewer thank you.passage2andy did you see the film on television last night?jane no, i was out. what was it?andy a beautiful mind. its about john forbes nash, themathematician who won the nobel prize.jane ive heard about that film, yes. hes played by russell crowe, isnt he?i like russell crowe, hes great. andy thats the one, yes.jane whats it about?rinceton university as a graduate student. jane thats one of the ivy league schools, isnt it?andy yes, its all set in new england, lovely old buildings,beautiful autumn colours. its lovely to look at.anyway, nash meets his roommate charles, a literaturestudent, who soon becomes his best friend. nash admits tocharles that he is better with numbers than people, and themain thing hes looking for is a truly original idea for his thesispaper.jane so hes not interested in having fun?andy well, yes, but hes not very good with people or successfulwith women, thats all. but, you know, its one of these badexperiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant workin mathematics.jane no good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?andy thats about right, yes. so when he finishes his studies at princeton, he accepts a job at massachusettsinstitute of technology. five years later, he meets alicia, a studentwho he falls in love with and eventually marries. jane ah! at last, thelove interest!andy yes, but wait a moment. nash believes that hes been asked towork by william parcher for the usdepartment of defense on breaking soviet codes. at one point hes chased by the russians, and its after this that he becomes mentally ill.jane i think ive seen this in the trailer to the film.andy so when hes put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks thesoviets have captured him. hes given this painfultreatment which affects his relationship with his wife. and hisintellectual skills. so he stops taking the medicine.jane it sounds quite hard to watch.andy well, it is, but its well acted and directed, and so, you know,theres a-bit of distance between the audience and whats happening on film.jane so what happens next?andy well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try andlive with it. it all gets a bit complicated,because were no longer sure if charles, you know, his old friend, oreven parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in nashs mind.3jane that sounds awful. he must have been so ill,andy actually, im kind of giving away the twist in the story.anyway, later in his life, while hes using thelibrary at princeton again, he asks his rival martin hansen if he can start teaching again. and so the story ends when he goes on to win the nobel prize in economics.jane well, it sounds like a great film.andy yes, you should see it sometime.unit 2 food, glorious food!inside viewconversation 1kate oh, this looks nice.mark cool.waitress good afternoon, table for three?

leah well, my mother, you know. im the top of the line of 11 children, so you get to learn how to cook whetheryou like it or not. you get to cook that way. then here you want to add a little mushroom in here, this is just sliced button mushroom. if you like other mushroom, you can do that, we just saute that in there. you know, at home, when you, you have to cook, everybody had that turn in the kitchen. so this is a dish that is used in several restaurants, but this is my ownversion. some people do it different than this, but i like it this way, because i like the ... can you smell the garlic in there? interviewer oh, yeah.leah alright?interviewer that smell is very strong.leah uha, and then you want to add your peas. its very, very simple. interviewer and did you, did your mum run the restaurant as well?leah no, no, my mother-in-law. my mother-in-law had this restaurant before i came in. and she started it in 41. i came in in 46. so, and i added many things. you have to understand in 41. now here we can add our potatoes. you see our shrimp is all cooked there.-just add the potato. you can pre-cook your potatoes. you can boil them, or in this case, we, we blanch them a little bit. in that and just toss together, and you get one, you get just one casserole like here. and you can put a little pepper on it. give it a good dash of pepper. a little salt. its very simple, but its a good dish. and as i said, you can do it with chicken breast or shrimp. you see?

Food Quality1Task One: Food Additives (1)Food additives are widely used in many countries. However, the discovery a number of yearsago that the food additive Sudan Red was harmful to human health led to a backlash against all food additives.For example, the milk we drink in the morning has calcium added to it; numerous beverages contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and other minerals; store bought salt contains iodine, zinc and silica; and potato chips have as many as 10 types of food additives, such as spices, edible pigments, citric acid, flavor additives, sweetening agents and silica.MSG and condiments are considered food additives. Yeast powder is also a food additive tooand is usually added to steamed breads. Even sodium carbonate is a food additive, too, and is often added to make congee.To better understand the functions of food additives, Nature & Science did two interesting experiments at a bakery.Flour, eggs, sugar, salt and soda are the basic materials used in baking cakes.First, let’s make a cake without any additives. Mixing egg yolks and whites evenly, we thenadd some sugar into it. When the egg and sugar are (done) being mixed, we immediately add flour, water, soda and bulking agents into the mixture and rapidly mix them to make the batter .All this must be done within 10 to 30 seconds after which the batter must be immediately placed into the oven to bake.Now, let’s make some cakes with additives. When the eggs and sugar are being m ixed, weadd some cake oil to the mixture. The cake oil is composed of acidity regulators, antioxidants, vitamin C and sodium bicarbonate. It can make the egg-sugar mixture rapidly inflate. After flour, water and soda are poured into the egg-sugar mixture, the cake oil can form compound membranes with proteins in the cake batter. This can significantly improve the strength and stability of bubbles in the batter and make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Even after the batter is left for some time, the bubbles will not disappear.After the cakes are taken out of the oven we can see that the cakes that had the oil added to them are much nicer to look at and are more flexible than those without the additives. Even the insides of the cakes are remarkably different. The internal structure of the cake without additivesis uneven and brittle. But the internal structure of the cake with additives is even, soft and flexibleand tastes delicious and moist.The benefits of food additives do not just apply to cakes but also to many other foods.Emulsifiers are what give ice cream its delicious taste. The sweeteners lead to low-calorie,low-sugar products.Without edible pigments, there wouldn’t be various colorful candies.2Without preservatives, can ned foods couldn’t be preserved for months on end, making it difficult to get them to consumers’ hands before they go bad. Preservatives can prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure the freshness of nutrition in the food for a short period of time. From this aspect, food additives are very important to our health. Without them, we can hardly imagine what life would be like. Food additives can keep and improve the color and flavor of foods. They can even increase the nutritional value of certain foods and improve the quality of our life. With the rapid development of the food industry, the type and usage of food additives have increased dramatically, and they have been applied more widely and become an indispensable aspect of modern food processing. Task Two: Food Additives (2)Food additives are widely used in many countries. Several years ago, the discovery that something called Sudan Red was harmful to human health led to a backlash against all food additives. In toxicology, the dosage decides the toxicity.If the intake of a substance is below its acceptable intake level, damage to the human health is within an acceptable scope. After evaluating the safety of a food additive, scientists put forth its acceptable daily intake (ADI) per kilogram of an average person’s body weight as the basis for governments to stipulate the applications and maximum dosages of food additives.The Food Safety and Toxicology Evaluation Procedures issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health require that every food additive must undergo oral acute toxicity tests, genetic toxicity tests, teratogenic tests, 90-day feeding trials and carcinogenic tests in animals.According to their toxicological data, food additives are divided into 3 categories: very safe, safe and unsafe. The first category of food additives have no restrictions related to their usage in food processing. They do not need ADI values but simply reference dosages.For example, after a large number of biochemical and toxicological researches, the international Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) announced that it planned to cancel the acceptable daily intake restriction of monosodium glutamate (MSG).This shows that MSG is a very safe food additive. China’s standards stipulate that MSG can be used in various types of food according to the practical needs of food production. For example, the maximum reference dosage of MSG is 1.3 milligrams per kilogram in candy, 190 milligrams per kilogram in condiments and 4,300 milligrams per kilogram in soups.The second category of food additives is food additives deemed safe. JECFA has established ADI values for each of them.Their uses in food processing are restricted. For instance, long-term animal experiments show that lemon yellow has the weakest toxicity of synthetic pigments and is a safe food additive. Its ADI is 0―7.5 milligrams per kilogram. In China, it is stipulated that its maximum dosage is0.1 grams per kilogram in fruit juices, drinks, candies and shrimps and 0.02 grams per kilogram in ice cream.The third category of food additives is unsafe. According to toxicological data, such additives are considered to be unsafe for use in food. In 2002, the Chinese Ministry of Health announced the prohibition of 59 types of natural raw materials in food, They are unsafe and if they are found in any food product, the company in question would be subject to legal action.Now that there are so many toxicological regulations overseeing the safety of food additives,3 why do so many consumers think food additives are a food safety issue? This perception is in part caused by the bad behavior of a very small minority of food processing companies who violate the state’s health standards through the use of illegal food additives. They increase the dosage of food additives or add some things that are not food additives into food. Consumers should stand up and safeguard their rights.They have the right to know what additives are in the food they are buying. For example, soy sauce usually has preservatives added. When a consumer buys a bottle of soy sauce in the supermarket, he can read the specific name of the preservative, say sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate, on the label of the bottle. Similarly, the specific names of sweeteners, such as xylitol and acesulfame potassium, added to soy sauce should also be marked on the label.When a type of food is added with more than 2 coloring agents, their specific names, such as Fancy Red and Bright Blue, should be clearly marked on the label. So when consumers buy food at the market, they can read the instructions on food packages to know what additives are in them. This red liquid is called Carmine. It’s a synthetic edible pigment. Its acceptable daily intake (ADI) is up to 4 milligrams per kilogram. Its maximum dosage is no more than 0.1 grams per kilogram in candy and no more than 0.025 grams per kilogram in soy milk and sausage casing. It is important that we correctly understand food additives and what they are. We shouldn’t regard them as harmful, nor should we be misguided by attempts to exaggerate their benefits. Task Three: Sanlu MilkInvestigation Continues into Sanlu Milk PowderChinese authorities are launching an investigation, following reports of kidney stones in infants, after they were fed powdered milk made by Sanlu Company in Hebei Province. Sanlu has already admitted to contamination of the product.Friday saw investigators from the Ministry of Health, the quality watchdog and relevant departments visiting affected children in hospitals. They then visited Sanlu’s headquarters in Shijiazhuang city, to take samples, and check on how the local government was dealing with the incident.An initial investigation shows milk powder containing melamine, which is used in making plastics, fertilizers and cleaning products.The quality regulator has launched a nationwide probe into all baby milk powders. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health is sharing relevant information with the World Health Organization.Food Safety to Be Resolved in ChinaWell, The recent series of food safety scandals to hit China has prompted calls for a revamp to supervision practices. During the 3rd China Food Safety Forum, participants committed to implement stricter law enforcement to assure food safety in China.To buy or not to buy, it is a question many have to ponder now, as a wave of food safety scares has renewed fears in China over continued problems. Shoppers told us they hope food safety4violations will be resolved in a more effective and timely manner.(A Beijing resident)“I often buy food and other products that are popular and have a good reputation.”During the 3rd China Food Safety Forum, about 10 governmental departments related to food safety vowed to implement (more) stricter enforcement to assure the quality of food. (Yu Jun, vice director general of Department of Food Safety of State Council of China)“We will improve our monitoring system. We are urging the local governments to standard enterprises. Companies and individuals will be handed severe penalties if they break food safety or other laws pertaining to the quality of food.”In China, there are about 500 thousand food production companies. But for many of them, a weak food value chain is the main problem. When a scandal emerges, the public interrogates not only supervisory agencies, but also blames the food company at the center of the controversy. (Huang Qitai, chief scientist of Synutra International, Inc)“I think the food safety pr oblem depends on the people in the company. We should raise our company’s culture to a new level in order to win the respect of consumers, so we do not see the illegal additives in our food today.”A publicity week on China Food Safety is also beginning around the country. The aim is to make people know more about the State’s standard of food safety and the knowledge of additives in food.Tainted food scandals have caused nationwide concern. As, it is urgent for related departments to more strictly enforce laws and regulations to resolve the country’s food safety problems, which concern everyone’s health. 练习答案Unit One Food QualityTask One1. 1) D 2) B 3) A 4) C 5) D2. 1) materials 2) additives 3) sugar 4) mixture 5) oven 6) composed7) inflate 8) stability9) Even after the batter is left for some time, the bubbles won’t disappear.10) But the internal structure of the cake with additives is even, soft and flexible and tastes delicious and moist.Task Two1. 1) A 2) B 3) D 4) B 5) DTask Three1. 1) B 2) A 3) A 4) D 5) B2. 1) investigation 2) kidney stones 3) contamination 4) investigators5) quality watchdog 6) affected 7) headquarters 8) samples9) how the local government was dealing with the incident10) which is used in making plastics, fertilizers and cleaning products。
