Listening InWhile the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which meansremember with something one is familiar with. ThenKeys: FTFFFT ask3: Memory-Improving T echniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply,you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Let’s T alkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:Y ou might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.SAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you getinterested in something, you can remember it better.B: Y eah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A:It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.T ask3: How to Remember NamesScriptY ou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. Y ou can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?

Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.T ask 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do 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‘ll send you the money right away. Y ou left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖―Oh, yeah.

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 send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.―Y ou‘re outing your mind,‖yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖―Don‘t worry, honey,‖Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTT ask3: 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-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3.

You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W:Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time ev ery day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖.Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M:That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is likea muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over severaldays. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer,learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dea ling with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, s ome people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods:those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice3.ScriptW: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?

What‘s it like?M: It‘s expensive, 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. They use the case system of teaching; that is, you study how actual businesses grew or failed.Q: Why is he MBA teaching in Harvard Business School first class, according to the conversation?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3.B 4.D 5.AIII. 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: Thanks. 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 discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do 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‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖―Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. 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 send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.―You‘re outing your mind,‖ yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a coupl e of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖―Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: 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 fewterms 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-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3.

Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true!

Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency?W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

Next it became a toy again. Now the bicycle is becoming popular as a means of transportation once more.There are several reasons for the new popularity of bicycles. The cost of fuelfor cars is one reason. Another is the need to keep the environment clean. The third reason is a desire for exercise. Americans are one group of people who are leaving their cars at home. In fact, there are more than 100 million bicycles in the United States alone.。

Listening InWhile the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one’s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one’s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.T ask 2: Y ou forget my toast!Keys: FTFFFT ask3: Memory-Improving T echniquesKes: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DV.

They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.T ask3: How to Remember NamesNews ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man’s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials.

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 discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.T ask 2: Money for CollegeKeys: TFFFTT ask3: How to Get Straight A’sKes: 1B 2.C3.

They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had ―A‖so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn’t have a spare, and couldn’t get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, hand each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.They took at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. ―Cool,‖they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, ―This is going to be easy.‖ Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was a question worth 95 points: ―Which of the tires was flat?‖T ask3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityFor Reference:1.

For Britain’s Prince William, nature played an important role in his education this last winter, as the future king went on a 10-week expedition in Chile with Raleigh International.The experience was a very different one for the prince. He kayaked in ocean fjords, tracked a rare deer, and was stranded on a beach during a storm.He also got used to sleeping on the ground—at times in a room filled with 16 people –and living in simple conditions.Those who took part, called ―volunteers‖, both contributed and learned. The prince helped locals build wooded walkways and buildings, and taught English to schoolchildren.He was described by other volunteers as hardworking, humble, and laid-back. As one said, ―He struck a really good balance between working hard and having fun…getting on with everyone, and taking on the team spirit.‖The prince said he liked being treated as an ―equal‖by other volunteer, who came from all walks of life. Around 20 percent were from problem backgrounds, some having had troubles with drugs or crime.It seems that there’s a lot more to education than university and books, and the Chilean forests and a little contact with regular people may do a lot of a British prince.Uint3II.

When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, he keeps changing jobs, and the family has had to move four times in thirteen years, but she wants stability for her children and herself. Second, although he is paying the bills, they just live around the poverty line. Her children are being teased by other children for not dressing good clothes. Also, they had to live in a smallapartment and drive an old car, though it still runs. Worse still, the husband yells at her, though she admits she also yell at him and calls him names. As for the divorce arrangements, the woman will give the husband only visitation rights instead of joint custody. Moreover, the woman will demand half of all they have and large support payments.T ask 2: What four-letter words?Keys: FTFFTT ask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryKes: 1C 2.A3. B 4.B 5.BIV.

Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: Early MarriageKeys: 1.B 2.D3.A 4.D 5.CT ask 2: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquir e their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up fulfill this need. Increasingly, a company’s arrangement of day care as well as government assistance to parents requiring day care is occurring.T ask3: They are coming for Christmas,For Reference:1. He and the boy’s mother are divorcing.2. Forty-five years of misery is enough. They can’t stand the sight of each other any longer. They’re sick of each other.3.

He is happy, for his son and daughter will come back for Christmas and pave their own way.News ReportPrince More Precious Than the DiamondScriptPeople have long known the saying ’s best friend.‖ But this may be changing. There’s a new stone market, tanzanite, and it is giving diamonds some serious competition.Tanzanite was one of a number of gems discovered in East Africa in the 1960s. Thenew colors and varieties changed the gem market. But the real gem among these stones was tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania. The stone was named after its country of origin by New Y ork’s Tiffany and Co. which introduced it to the world. It draws one’s attention quickly with its color—blue, purple or bronze, depending on the direction it is viewed from.More important for its value, though, is its rarity. Tanzanite has been found in only one small area, near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. And its supply will probably be fully mined in the next two decades.As one mining official puts it, ―It should never have really occurred in the first place. It did occur. And only this one deposit on this entire planet that is known…makes it more than a thousand times rarer than diamonds. And certainly within the next 15 to 20 years, there will be no more tanzanite to be mined.‖The current value of the tanzanite market, at U.S. $10 billion, is equivalent to that of diamonds. And so another saying ―Diamonds are forever‖may lose some of its meaning.Uint4II. Basic Listening PracticeKeys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.C 5.BIII.

There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented.

It’s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it’s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps usfrom obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it’s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won’t be the end of the world if you don’t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence.Y our ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it’s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It’s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn’t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don’t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you’d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it’s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.T ask3: An Interview That Upsets the BossFor Reference1.He lost both of his ears.2.Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after hebought it.3.Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4.He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5.He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersScriptThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pairs?The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the evening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor theOscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come. The Irish actor Richard Harris, who was given an award for lifetime achievement, gave a humorous thank-you speech that was the high point of the evening.Another internationally known actor, Jean Reno, also gave an enthusiastic thank-you speech. The French actor received an award for European achievement in world cinema, for his international firm career.Other VIPs from around Europe also attended. But most of the prizes at the ceremony, which people have been calling―the European Oscars‖, went to French films.There was one international film award, which went to a French-Hong Kong co-production, Wong Karwai’s In the Mood for Love.Uint5II.

Further Listening and SpeakingT ask1: Hot Business IdeasKeys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DT ask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests.By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with ―an individualcommercial enterprise‖. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the ―fishing business‖, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the ―fishing industry‖, which sounds somewhat formal. The word ―trade‖ may serve as an equivalent of both ―business‖ and ―industry‖.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.T ask3: An office boy or a billionaire?For Reference1.―If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist.

Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personallyand on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

You have a selective memory. You tried to pay last t urn, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It‘s definitely your turn.Q: What is true according to the conversation?2. ScriptM: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this F rench exam. I just can‘t memorize all the vocabulary.W: Me too. I hate having to learn things by heart. I guess we just have to keep reading the texts over and over.Q: What does the woman prefer?3. ScriptW: Oh look! There‘s that guy we saw last week, playing football in the park! He looked great in his kit, remember?M: Him? I don‘t remember him. I‘ve got a terrible memory for faces. I have a hard time even recording people I‘ve been introduced to.Q: According to the conversation, what is the man‘s problem?4. ScriptM: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door thatsays ―keys‖?W: It‘s to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I‘m always locking myself out by accident! It doesn‘t help enough. Now I just forget to read the sign.Q: Why is there a sign on the back of the door?5. ScriptM: That history exam was really hard. The essay question was terrible!W: I know, I wish I were like David. He has a photographic memory, you know. How useful that would be!Q: What is true of David?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InScriptM: Tell me your secret. You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journalthat studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talkin g about princi pleslike ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ?Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notesright after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new materialinto what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principleof ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the manthat memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, thedoctor told them that theywere physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the ol d man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖ “Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖“Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like s ome strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learnto play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, youcan take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think onits various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you can not remember a person‘s name, you canthink about a special feature of his face and then link it withhis mane.1. What‘s seems to be an especially important way tostimulate one‘s memory?2. What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3. How can you concentrate on a pen?4.

Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter f rom the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you?re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Impro ving One‘s Memory ExamplesCreating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:1.a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you canremember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essentialfactor is water.

They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. Onthis particular spring night, they have invited a retiredprofessor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while theywere washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually,after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong inthe rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be o ut to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, andin addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―tiesin ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualizethe ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in yourthinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most in telligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials.
