Then listen to it again and check your answers.My 15-year-old cousin is a big fan of video games. He sits in front of the computer all day long, killing bad guys and collecting gold.It’s true: video games do provide a chance for peopl e to live another life. For most of them, the games are an extension of reality. This is fine for those with self-control, but it can be harmful for young people.First, young people get addicted easily. And, playing video games can be a waste of time, which is bad for their studies.Second, in some video games, they can shoot and kill others for fun. This can have a bad influence on their development. Some may turn to violence to solve problems in real life.In conclusion, parents should pay attention to and limit their children’s playing of video games. They should also spend more time with their children doing various activities to prevent them from getting addicted.Page 5 Passage 2Now you’ll hear a passage, which is fo llowed by four questions. Listen to it andchoose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers.Not all people like to work but everyone likes to play.

When they are playing games, people move a lot. This is good for their health. Having fun with their friends makes them happy.Many people enjoy sports by watching others play. In small towns, crowds meet to watch the bicycle races or the soccer games. In the big cities, thousands buy tickets to see ice-skating shows or baseball games.Is it hot where you live? Then swimming is probably your favorite sport. Boys and girls in China love to swim, while aged people like various kinds of Tai Ji and Qi Gong. The climate is good for all the seasonal sports in the country.习题答案及参考译文Section A Listening and SpeakingPart Two DialoguesDialogue 1Ⅰ. 1. T 2. F 3. FⅡ. 见听力原文Ⅲ. 略Dialogue 2Ⅰ. 见听力原文Ⅱ. 1.

Then in the middle of the term, I will organize a football match. Another important activity to be held is an English Speech Contest at the end of the term.

Appendix IKey to Exercises (Units 1-8)Unit 1Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just lookat them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I- 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children —"you of tender years" —also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such mo-ments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)The end winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.94 -Appendix IVocabulary1) insert2) on occasion3) investigate4) In retrospect5) initial6) phenomena7) attached8) make up for9) is awaiting10) exception11) not... in the least12) promote13) working on14) in due course15) emerged1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of living in the north of the country andthe south.2)Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3)The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4)His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5)The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into someEnglish magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goalof mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exag-gerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From whatshe has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex-tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assisLchildren in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con-trol.

Passing from one to the other you have to get used to many new things, not the least being the different way of learning.At school I found my timetable full throughout the day. One lesson came close on the heels of another with little time to call one's own. At university, in contrast, only a few hours of each day are taken up with classes or lectures. In the time made available you are expected to learn on your own. When and where is up to you. At the same time what you are meant to learn shifts from memorizing masses of facts to developing an ability to understand theories and present arguments. There are, of course, still facts to be learned. One should not exaggerate the differences. Nevertheless, learning at university certainly teaches me greater self-reliance and to think for myself.

He came from a poor family, but rose to become one of the most fondly remembered presidents in his country's history. There are many stories about him. Here is one of them.When Abraham Lincoln was young he worked in a store. As a clerk he proved honest and efficient. One day a woman came into the store and bought some articles. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents, or the young clerk thought they did. The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young store-keeper, not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculation, added up the items once more. To his dismay he found that the sum total should have been only two dollars. "I've made her pay six and a quarter cents too much," said Abe, disturbed. It was a very small sum, and many clerks would have dismissed it as such. But Abe was too conscien-tious to forget about the overcharge."The money must be paid back," he decided. This would have been easy enough had the woman lived just around the corner, but, as the young man knew, she lived two or three miles away. This, however, did not alter the matter. It was night, but he closed and locked the store, and walked to the home of his customer. Having arrived there, he explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. This anecdote won him a new name: Honest Abe.Appendix I- 99 -Part II Text Alext Organization1.VocabularyI. 1. 1) local3)deserved5)system7)remote 2) headlines 4) folks6) steer clear of 8) get away with-100- AppendixI9) open up10) hold to11) retire12) rally13) reserved14) qualify15) cultivate2. 1) These serious problems deserve careful consideration in restructuring our educational sys-tems.2)The college is liable to stop her scholarship because of her failure in the final examination.3)San Francisco is, by all accounts, a city easy to fall in love with.4)Snow White received such bad treatment from her step-mother that she had to flee fromher home.5)The United States, Canada, and Mexico make up North America.3. 1) The principal's daughter didn't receive special treatment from her teachers.

Like many a young man throughout the ages he felt misunderstood by his parents' generation, a generation he was quite happy to blame for all the ills of the world. He saw a gap between young and old, a gap made wider by different attitudes to change, the young welcoming it, the old resisting it. But change is coming whether we like it or not, coming like a flood that no one can escape. So you had better:...admit that the waters around you have grownAnd accept it that soon you'll he drenched to the hone.For those whose job it is to comment on the news and to predict what will happen next, we live in interesting times.Come writers and critics Whoprophesize with your pen And k eepyour eyes wide The chance won't comeagainAppendix I- 107 -But they should not be too quick in predicting what is going to happen.

And so he warns politicians not to stand in the way of those who are fighting for justice, a fight that will... soon shake your windows And rattle your walls.He sees his parent's generation as too ready to criticize their children and unable to understand their hopes and dreams:Come mothers and lathersThroughout the land And don'tcriticize What you don'tunderstandDylan sees the older generation's way of doing things as outdated. If they are unwilling to change their ways then they should step aside and let a new generation take over.

ScatteredPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Internet Will Not Isolate Us from One AnotherSince I bought a computer last month, a new world has opened up before me, a world that reaches far beyond my immediate surroundings.Every morning, the first thing I do after opening my eyes is to access the Internet to look at the top news stories of the day. In the evening, I will again sit by my computer and roam the world. The Internet brings me live World Cup football games and the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It also enables me to communicate with my friends via email. The other day I got a message from an old classmate whom I hadn't heard from for years. She got my email address just by searching the website of my university! In addition to helping us keep up old ties, it also brings me new friends with whom I meet virtually in chat rooms. We exchange views on topics of interest and pour our hearts out to one another like intimate friends.So, instead of isolating us from one another, the Internet serves to shorten or eliminate distance, and helps to bring friends closer.(187 words)- 116 -Appendix IUnitsPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Often it is in overcoming hardship that we come to appreciate the value of life.
