Scripts for Unit One IdentityListening Task 1The neighborhood children of my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls-and-house indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I’d curl up in a chair reading fairy-tales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures. Sometime around the fourth grade, my “big”(often critical, judgmental) Grandma, who’d been visiting us said to me, “What’s wrong with you? Why don’t the other children want to play with you?”I remember being startled and confused by her question. I’d never been particularly interested in playing with the other children. It hadn’t, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd or something with me. Nor had it occurred to me that they didn’t “want to play with”me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fourth grade. At the wardrobe, listening to classmates joking, chattering and laughing with each other, I realized I hadn’t a clue about what was so funny or of how to participate in their easy chatter. They seemed to live in a universe about which I knew nothing at all. I tried to act like others but it was so difficult. I felt confused and disoriented. I turned back to my inner world: reading books, writing and daydreaming. My inwardness grew me in ways that continued to move me further away from the world of my age peers. The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too.Listening Task 2The greatest difficulty for me is that as a person of mixed origin I am at home neither here nor there. Wherever I am, I am regarded as being foreign, either “white”or “black”. It happens to me when I live in my mother’s country of origin, in Switzerland, and it happened to me when I was living in my father’s country, Ivory Coast. I would feel at home where I could feel that people accept me just the way I am! When you are a small child you first do not feel that you are different from the others. But soon the others will make you feel different –and children too can be very cruel in their behavior against the “strange child”. Sometimes incredible incidents happen. Some time ago I was riding my bike somewhere in a little place in Switzerland nearby to where I live. A car drove by, and the male driver opened the window and yelled at me: “Scheiss –Neger –dirty nigger!”I almost froze. I felt helpless and unable to defend myself. When I looked at the number plate, I saw that it was a German number plate. This means that the insulting person himself was a foreigner in this country! How could he dare insult me like this? I felt that I wanted to kill this man. When I recovered I was able to think about it more clearly. These racist people are just stupid and do not know anything about life.Real World ListeningAnswers1.because he was charged with bank fraud.2.The man paid the money and all the charges were dismissed.3.He spent several days in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Apperently the police knew that he was not the person who committed the bank fraud.4.Their credit may be ruined so that they can’t get loans and it may take them years to settle the damage.5.The person who stole the man’s identity was caught and put in jail for identity fraud.Script--- Your story of identity theft is quite scary. What happened?---one day early in the morning, I was awakened by a loud knock. When I opened the door, five policemen were standing there telling me to go to jail. I asked why and they said that I was wanted for bank fraud. I said “I never did that” and they said”that’s something we’ve never heard before...tell it to the judge.”--- Did you really have to spend time in jail?--- yes, I certainly did.--- how could you prove that it wasn’t you who committed the crime.--- Frankly, I never did. I simply paid the amount owed and and all the charges were dismissed. It was really a debt to a casino and, although it is a felony, all they wanted was their money.--- whew! For me,perhaps the most alarming aspect of your story is that you had to spend several days in jail- in spite of the fact that they knew the person who committed the fraud was of a different race than you. That is truly scary.---yes, people suffer because others steal their identity to work illegally.Someone used another’s identity for years and ruined their credit. When their kids want to get their first cars or student loans it takes them years to settle the damage.--- did they catch the person who used you identity to commit the crimes?--- yes. He was put in jail for identity fraud.。

You have to catch it yourself.— Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin (1706 — 1790): One of the Founding Fathers of theUnited States. As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author andprinter, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civicactivist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up theDeclaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major rolein the American Revolution and negotiated French support for thecolonists; as a scientist he is remembered particularly for his research in Unit OverviewModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, not only physically but also psychologically. In this unit, students will be introduced to the importance of psychological health and ways to achieve it through listening, watching and reading. Various activities will inspire the students to talk about ways to cope with stress and to be happy by using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a poll on “Stress on Campus”with their peers.In this unit, you will●get to know ways to deal with stress that comes fromstressful situations, different life periods anddifficult people through listening, watching and reading●talk about the impact of stress on your physical andespecially mental health, and the ways to deal with stress through guided activities“Stress on Campus” with your peers●conduct a poll on●pick up useful words and expressionsto reflect on your own learning and comment on that●learnof your peers●learn to think independently, critically and creatively Background InformationModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or ima gined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process knownas the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an argument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response ma y be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stresssystem is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including:●Pain of any kind●Heart disease●Digestive problems●Sleep problems●Depression●Obesity●Autoimmune diseases●Skin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

You are expected to do it after class and check the answers on your own.It’s common sense that if you are extremely unhappy in your job, and you come home and dump on your spouse about it every day, it could start to wear on the relationship.So is the opposite true, then? 1) If you’re happy in your job,can your marriage actually improve? According to long-term research conducted by The Love Doctor Terri Orbuch, the answer is “yes”.Orbuch, who is author of “5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great,” has been following and observing hundreds of married couples for nearly a quarter century inorder to find out what makes marriages happy, strong and long lasting. She has found that there is a definite positive spillover 2) from work to marriage.Here are her four suggestions on putting this into practice: Suggestion 1: 3) Seek support and help from your spouse. If you’re having a problem at work, solicit advice from your spouse. Research shows that the need for assistance is one of the three basic needs of all people in relationships (intimacy and reassurance of one’s value are the other two). Seeking solutions to work-related problems together strengthens the ma rital bond and feeling that “we’re in this together.” Moreover, because your spouse knows you so well, he or she is likely to come up with valuable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” in your job. A recent large-scale study in Harvard Business Review found that the No. 1 factor 5)that keeps employees happy and motivated in their jobs is “making progress.” Workers who are fulfilled and stimulated during the workday tend to be happier individuals, and much of that happiness gets transferred to their spouse at the end of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practice behaviors that relieve stress. Numerous studies have documented a link between workplacestress and poor health. The two most common workplace stressors are 7) feeling as if you haven’t been heard or supported, and 8) negative interpersonal work relationships. Find ways to express your needs, ask for assistance and manage conflicts at your job. Good health is sexy and attractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share your work life.

UNIT1Home ListeningWhere have all the GentlemenGone?What factors have contributed to the demise of chivalry？Men tend to blame the decline on women’s tolerance of men’s trifling behavior. Females, on the other hand, blame the death of chivalry on the egocentric nature and 1)laziness of men. Our society has become increasingly 2) self-centered so people no longer abide by old school home training of manners and politeness.Both genders are correct, but whose actions started the 3) snowball effect? It is the classic chicken or the egg argument.Perhaps with the Women’s Rights Movement, women opened the door for men to become lazy with their courteousness. Maybe women started acting more independent so men figured, “Why bother?”Or, perhaps society in general is in a state of moral 4) bankruptcy. Marriages are dissolving at an all time high, people are no longer valuing monogamy. As trust in men 5) diminishes, women’s attitudes toward men shift and the way we 6) interact with them has changed—and not for the positive.Or, perhaps men are not settling down as often or as quickly, so there is a sense of desperation among the female race. Desperation leads to feeling the need to settle or 7) compete for men. Likewise, women have become more tolerant and/or numb to the waywardness of men.So, which is it? The chicken or the egg? Did men’s behaviors and attitudes shift first or did women’s? We may never 8) figure the answer out.However, I think that 9) chivalry is about RESPECT. Chivalry and respect go hand in hand. Respect and character go hand in hand. And, 10) character and morality go hand in hand. If we can work on our morals we will work on our level of respect for each other. It just starts with everyone as individuals.

And yet, when Ilook in the mirror, I still see skin ofthat same shade of brown.My skin color 9) has donenothing to change my personality,and my personality has donenothing to change my skin color.I believe in being myself.

The goal: to build hip hang-outs that tap into a new taste for China’s 3) emerging middle class.Starbucks China doesn’t plan any advertising, 4) promotions, or other marketing strategies, aside from sponsoring an on-line coffee club and the occasional office-tower coffee tasting.

Shehas found that there is a definitepositive spillover 2) from work tomarriage.Here are her four suggestionson putting this into practice:Suggestion 1: 3) Seeksupport and help from yourspouse. If you’re having a problemat work, solicit advice from yourspouse. Research shows that theneed for assistance is one of thethree basic needs of all people inrelationships (intimacy andreassurance of one’s value are theother two). Seeking solutions towork-related problems togetherstrengthens the marital bond andfeeling that “we’re in thistogether.” Moreover, because yourspouse knows you so well, he orshe is likely to come up withvaluable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” inyour job. A recent large-scale studyin Harvard Business Review foundthat the No. 1 factor5)that keepsemployees happy and motivated intheir jobs is “making progress.”Workers who are fulfilled andstimulated during the workdaytend to be happier individuals, andmuch of that happiness getstransferred to their spouse at theend of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practicebehaviors that relieve stress.Numerous studies havedocumented a link betweenworkplace stress and poor health.The two most common workplacestressors are 7) feeling as if youhaven’t been heard or supported,and 8) negative interpersonalwork relationships. Find ways toexpress your needs, ask forassistance and manage conflicts atyour job. Good health is sexy andattractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share yourwork life. Orbuch’s study found that the happiest marriages areones in which partners feel theirspouse regularly discloses information about his or her life,even details from work that might be deemed “boring.” The bonus: 10) Work life becomes interwovenwith home life, promoting asatisfying feeling of work-life balance, which makes you happier overall.

Therefore, we shouldembrace and seize theopportunities presented byglobalization and adopt reforms tokeep up with the steps of thechanging world.China’s participation inGlobalization is by no means a 4)one-way street.

Togetherwith policy 6)stimulus in othercountries, China’s performancelifted the region to growth of 6.7 %in 2002, up from 5.5% in 2001.Average regional growth of morethan 6% is expected for the nexttwo years, with China increasinglybecoming the 7)engine of theregional economy.China has also provided the worldwith the fastest growing market.When more than 1.25 billionpeople become 8)well-off, thedemand on everything will beenormous.

Famous Quote— Benjamin FranklinUnit OverviewModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems, not only physically but also psychologically. In this unit, students will be introduced to the importance of psychological health and ways to achieve it through listening, watching and reading. Various activities will inspire the students to talk about ways to cope with stress and to be happy by using the words and expressions in this unit. And finally, they will conduct a poll on “Stress on Campus ” with their peers.In this unit, you willget to know ways to deal with stress that comes from stressful situations, different life periods and difficult people through listening, watching and readingtalk about the impact of stress on your physical and especially mental health, and the ways to deal with stress through guided activitiesconduct a poll on “Stress on Campus ” with your peerspick up useful words and expressionslearn to reflect on your own learning and comment on that of your peers learn to think independently, critically and creatively Background InformationModern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re consta ntly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price.Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger--- whether i t’s real or imagined--- the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight -or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.Benjamin Franklin (1706 — 1790): One of the Founding Fathersof the United States. As a noted polymath, Franklin was a leadingauthor and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician,scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, soldier, and diplomat. He helped draw up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; he played a major role in the American Revolution and negotiated French support for the colonists; as The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you’d rather be watching TV.But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.Effects of chronic stressThe body doesn’t distinguish between physical and psychological threats. When you’re stressed over a busy schedule, an ar gument with a friend, a traffic jam, or a mountain of bills, your body reacts just as strongly as if you were facing a life-or-death situation. If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, your emergency stress response may be “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the easier it is to trip and the harder it is to shut off.Long-term exposure to stress can lead to serious health problems. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body. It can raise blood pressure, suppress the immune system, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, contribute to infertility, and speed up the aging process. Long-term stress can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.Many health problems are caused or exacerbated by stress, including: Pain of any kindHeart diseaseDigestive problemsSleep problemsDepressionObesityAutoimmune diseasesSkin conditions, such as eczemaTopic Preview1.

Members of the group should respond when challenged.Home ListeningListen to the audio clip and fill in the blanks with the exact words or sentences. You are expected to do it after class and check the answers on your own.It’s common sense that if you are extremely unhappy in your job, and you come home and dump on your spouse about it every day, it could start to wear on the relationship.So is the opposite true, then? 1) If you’re happy in your job,can your marriage actually improve? According to long-term research conducted by The Love Doctor Terri Orbuch, the answer is “yes”.Orbuch, who is author of “5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great,” has been following and observing hundreds of married couples for nearly a quarter century in order to find out what makes marriages happy, strong and long lasting. She has found that there is a definite positive spillover 2) from work to marriage.Here are her four suggestions on putting this into practice:Suggestion 1: 3) Seek support and help from your spouse. If you’re having a problem at work, solicit advice from your spouse. Research shows that the need for assistance is one of the three basic needs of all people in relationships (intimacy and reassurance of one’s value are the other two). Seeking solutions to work-related problems together strengthens the ma rital bond and feeling that “we’re in this together.” Moreover, because your spouse knows yo u so well, he or she is likely to come up with valuable insights and feedback.Suggestion 2: 4) “Grow” in your job. A recent large-scale study in Harvard Business Review found that the No. 1 factor5)that keeps employees happy and motivated in their jobs is “making progress.” Workers who are fulfilled and stimulated during the workday tend to be happier individuals, and much of that happiness gets transferred to their spouse at the end of the day.Suggestion 3: 6) Practice behaviors that relieve stress.Numerous studies have documented a link between workplace stress and poor health. The two most common workplace stressors are 7) feeling as if you haven’t been heard or supported, and 8) negative interpersonal work relationships. Find ways to express your needs, ask for assistance and manage conflicts at your job. Good health is sexy and attractive to a spouse, and so is an upbeat attitude.Suggestion 4: 9) Share your work life. Orbuch’s study found that the happiest marriages are ones in which partners feel their spouse regularly discloses information about his or her life, even details from work that might be deemed “boring.” The bonus: 10) Work life becomes interwoven with home life, promoting a satisfying feeling of work-life balance, which makes you happier overall.

Men were strong, women were weak; men were the breadwinners, women were the homem akers; men wererational, women were emotional. In accordance with these beliefs, the men filled the leadership positions in society, as well as the majority of positions that required courage, clear-thinking and intellect. Women took on the nurturing, caring or supportive jobs such as nurse, teacher, assistant. However, modern society has greatly challenged these perceived differences between men and women.These days gender roles are becoming less clear. Women are moving into themale-dominated occupations and proving that they can be equally successful in these fields. Moreover, some men are taking on the homemaker role and finding that it suits them. In som e cultures, for example the Naxi culture of southwestern China, the women have always been the head of the household and responsible for both work and finance.So, are men and wom en really all that different? From the changing perspectives towards this question, it would seem that socialization plays a large role in de fining masculinity and femininity in any given time period and in any given culture. In other words, perhaps men and women are not that different after all.2.Culture plays an important role in business.Culture plays an important role in business. In different cultures there are different ideas about when meetings should be scheduled, how much notice should be given, Where people should be seated and how the negotiations should be proceed. During the negotiations there are also vast cultural differences in what is considered appropriate language, communication style and body language. For example, some culture value eye contact, others do not. Some cultures use 'yes' as an acknowledgement of what the person has said, other use 'yes' only for agreement.Social conventions of greeting, dressing, eating and entertaining also vary considerably amongst cultures and these are important to learn since a lot of business takes place while having dinner or enjoying drinks together.If a businessman attempts a cross-cultural business partnership without an adequate awareness of his associate's culture, he is likely to encounter misunderstanding and may even cause offence. This will damage and may even end the business relationship. Therefore, cultural differences must be carefully handled when doing business with people from different countries.3.Fighting against PiracyNowadays the problem of piracy has become increasingly serious. Not only is there a serious lack of knowledge am ongst the general public about piracy issues, but there is also an attitude of indifference.These days piracy is strongly evident in the commercial world in the wide availability of illegal VCDs and DVDs , the inclusion of Copyrighted pictures, web graphics, video clips and magazine portions in business presentations and the photocopying of books and articles for distribution without the author's permission.The negative consequences of piracy are two-fold. Firstly, the Copyright owners are likely to suffer significant financial losses. Secondly, the Copyright owner loses recognition, if the source of the material is unacknowledged.Therefore it is important for all citizens to become educated about piracy issues, to follow copyright laws in their own lives, and to encourage their colleagues and friends to do the same.4.The Importance of Learning Spoken EnglishIn today's modern world, learning spoken English has many advantages. English is fast becoming the international language of many fields, including politics, business and education. Not only is English used between native speakers and non-native speakers, but it is also used increasingly as a common language in interactions between non-native speakers. Having a good grasp of spoken English helps you to improve your chances of employment. These days, there are many foreign companies operating from China, and manyChinese-owned companies have trade links with foreign partners. These companies require speakers of English with sufficient language skills to ensure smooth business transa ctions. Spoken English also provides the chances for you to communicate socially with people from many other countries. It gives you a window into other cultures, and other perspectives of the world. It also gives you access to foreign films, TV programs, music and news. Therefore, spoken English is an important and fundamental tool in today's global village.5.Business EthicsCreating and sustaining an ethical corporation isn't as difficult as you might think; it's actually easier than some of the day-to-day business challenges you face. The keys to running an ethical company are accountability, honesty, and information transparency.Corporations aren't ethical or evil in and of themselves--but people can be. So ethics must focus on you and the people you work with. Most people want to do the right thing, but organizational structure does not guarantee they will do the right thing, without meaning to or even knowing it. Structuring an ethical corporation makes the goal easier to achieve.The challenge could not be more urgent. A substantial majority of people in China are dissatisfied with the social behavior of our corporations, say several recent news reports. Poor treatment of workers at home and abroad, products that don't perform as advertised, fake commodities, poor customer service, environm ental pollution, to mention a few.Responsible behavior is important to your business success, but let's not forget that you're in business--you're not out to solve the world's problems. So how do you balance the two? What does it mean to be ethical in business?It simply requires that you follow your best moral instincts, even in areas that don't appear to involve moral issues, such as cost-benefit analyses. But while good ethics often equates to good business, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes being truly ethical means giving up something you want in exchange for doing the right thing. That's why we worry about ethics in the first place--if it didn't cost us anything, everyone would be ethical all the time.6.SPORTS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH.Sports do much good to our health. Especially they can be of great value to our psychological health. People who are involved in athletics feel more self-sufficient and confident in their abilities. They feel they are in control of their own actions. Sports offer people an opportunity to experience themselves as more competent, more self-reliant and more able to achieve their goals. Sports demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually team work. For people, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will find it natural to work for the good o f his country instead of only for his own benefit.原文已完。
Unit 1 IdentityMelanie:Your story of identity theft is quite scary. What happened?Nick:One day early in the morning, I was awakened by a Loud knock . When I opened the door,Five olicemen were standing there telling me to go to jail . I asked why and they said that I was wanted for bank fraud. I said I never did that! ” and they said “that’s something we’ve never heard before”tell it to the judge” Melanie: Did you really have to spend time in jail?Nick :Yes, I certainly did. Melanie:How could you prove it wasn ’t you who committed the crime?Nick :Frankly, I never did. I simply paid the amount owed and all the charges were dismissed. It was really a debt to a casino and, although it was a felony, all they wanted was their money.Melanie: Whew! For me, perhaps the most alarming aspect of your story is that you had to spend several days in jail—in spite of the fact that they knew that the person who committed the fraud was of a different race than you. That is truly scary.Nick : Yes. People suffer because others steal their identities to work illegally. Someone used another ’s identity for years and ruined their credit When their kids want to get their first cars or student loans it takes them years to settle the damage.Melanie: Did they catch the person who used your identity to commit the crimes?Nick : Yes. He was put in jail for identity fraud.Unit 2 Personality Real World ListeningMr. Washington: George, are you sure you had nothing to do with chopping down the cherry tree?Geor ge : I don’t clearly recall chopping this tree down.Mr. Washington: Isn ’ t this your axe?George : That appears to be very similar to my axe.Mr. Washington: But your axe is right here, and the tree is freshly cut, and you are the only person around.Mrs. Washington: Oh, just drop it, and it ’s only a tree.Mr. Washington: But it’s not just the tree. We really need to find out if he’s being honest with us. I won’t put up with lying, and he shouldn’t get you to cover up for him.George : I’m going to say this one more time: I didn’t chop down that tree—the cherry tree—and I did not ask anyone to lie. Not one time. Never!Mr. Washington: George, there’s no fresh-cutFirewood around, but your hair and clothing are full of wood chips,and the chips look like cherry wood to me. How do you explain that?George : Clearly my behavior has been inappropriate. I deeply regret the damage which seems to have been done to the tree. But I really need to get back to my chores now.Mr. Washington: We’re not finished yet. Now I’m going to ask you directly. Did you chop down the cherry tree?George : Well, it’s possible that I might have swung the axe in an inappropriate Manner which might have resulted in some harm to the tree, but at the moment you asked me, I was thinking of wh at“chop”means and my action didn’t meet my definition of “chopping”, so I didn’t lie.Mrs. Washington: This is not really worth all the fuss. Even if he did it, it’s only a tree. Let’s forget itand enjoy this lovely afternoon.George : Thank you, Mom. We have aStateloak tree on the front lawn. Can I try my axe again there?Unit 3 LifestyleReal World Listening。
