UNIT ONE THE EXPENSIVE FANTASY OF LORD WILLIAMS UNDERSTANDING SHORT CONVERSATIONS1. M: Did you read today's newspaper? "Lord Williams" was arrested two days ago. W: Why? I heard he poured a lot of cash into a beautiful mountain village and gave jobs to many people.M: You could never have possibly guessed the truth. He stole funds from Scotland Yard, and the fund was supposed to be used to pay spies and conduct secret activities against the Irish Republican Army.Q: What is the conversation about?2. M: Did you attend yesterday's lecture?W: Yes.M: The lecture was supposed to start at 9:00 ,'~ m., but the professor was an hour late.W: He would have arrived on time, but an accident jammed the main road for one and a half hours.Q: What does the woman mean?3. W: Robert, what a surprise! It's nice to see you again!M: Hello, Susan! My gosh! How long has it been? Wasn't it several months ago, the last time we saw each other?W: I think you're right. You know, we bought a cottage in a mountain village.We've been transforming it from a mess into a good place to spend our holiday. M: Sounds good!Q: What can be learned from the conversation?4. M: Did you hear that they are going to build a first-class hotel here, withfurnished rooms, wood-paneled stairs and an outstanding restaurant?W: Oh, no. It's going to ruin the neighborhood. They will have to tear down all those nice old houses.Q: What is the woman's reaction to the new hotel?5. W: How's your job going?M: Great! I'm enjoying it a lot. At first I was chosen to manage the construction work. And now I'm in charge of running the business. The only problem we have is that it's hard to obtain all the bank loans we need.Q: What is the problem the man has in his job?6. M: Did you hear the latest about David? He is going to move to Seattle.W: To Seattle? That's a long way from here! What in the world made him decide to move there?M: He inherited a large sum of money from a rich uncle there.Q: How does the woman feel?7. M: I know the foundation has given the community $10,000 to improve itsenvironment.W: The money will bring the community back to life. $10,000! They gave twice that amount, I bet.Q: How does the woman feel about the money?8. W: I can hardly believe it! Such a soft-spoken, well-dressed middle-aged man firedthree shots into a crowded birthday party, killing one man.M: To be more exact, he killed one man and wounded two other people.W: Has he already been sentenced?M: Yeah, he was arrested soon after the police arrived. He has been brought into court and sentenced to thirty years in prison.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?9. W: I'm taking my daughter out for her birthday tonight -- you know, to thatoutstanding restaurant.M: You can't go like that. You'd better change.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?10. M: What's your opinion of the village? You've spent your holidays twice there.W: It captured my heart when I first saw it.M: Is it a special village?W: Yes, there are fine stone cottages, a central area of green grass and a fantastic view of rolling fields and pine forests.M: If only I had some free time.Q: What does the man mean?11. M: More and more people are paying attention to the problem of computer crime.Have you heard about it?W: Of course. A month ago one of my colleagues was arrested because she transferred funds at our bank to accounts she had set up in other banks.M: How did they find out?W: Her bank deposits were so large that they were noticed by the bank's management.The bank notified the police.Q: What are the man and woman talking about?12. M: How do you like our boss?W: I find him a very charming man, very friendly, considerate -- not at all proud.M: I certainly can't disagree with you on that.Q: What does the man think of the boss?13. W: To his terrible embarrassment, there were many people around at the time. M: You're right. He was really embarrassed. He still turns red when anyone mentions what happened. The best thing to do is not to talk about it when he is around.Q: What does the man think they should do?14. M: How did you enjoy your trip to China?W: It was a wonderful trip. We went to Beijing to see the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and Beijing' s Siheyuan.M: But I heard they have tom down a lot of such houses because people in the city need better housing.W: Yeah, I think no one goes anywhere in the world to see apartment houses. How canBeijing be Beijing without Hutongs?Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: What made you steal so much money? Did you need so much?M: First, I discovered this huge amount of money. Then I went from the need to pay off a few debts to what can only be described as greed.W: You just couldn't hold back your greed for money?M: Yeah, there is no way to justify it.Q: What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?16. W: Good evening. Can I help you?M: Oh, good evening. Yes, please. I'd like to have some information about nice places where I can have a drink.W: Well, you could go to the pub not far from the hotel.

(B)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONSConversation1 (Dr. Scott and Thomas Hunt talk about a man called Martin.)M 1: Dr. Scott, I have had some problems since my father died and left me all his money. 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! Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Who was Martin?2. According to Martin, who did Thomas' father leave his money to?3. What did Thomas and his father argue about?4. How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5. Why did Dr. Scott say the story was clearly not true?Conversation 2M: Excuse me, madam.W: Yes?M: Would you mind letting me take a look in your bag?W: I beg your pardon?M: I'd like to look into your bag, if you don't mind.W: Well I'm afraid I certainly do mind, if it's all the same to you. 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. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker. And... and I use them for finding my way in the dark and...and for finding the keyhole late at night. And... and I happen to collect lighters.M: I bet you do, madam. Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come along with me.W: How dare you! I... Questions 6 to 10 are based on the conversation you have just heard.6. What does the man do?7.

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.

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.。

新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册答案Uint1 II. Basic Listening Practice1. Script W: Ok. It‘s your turn to pay the bill. I paid last time.M: What? You have a selective memory. You tried to pay last turn, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It‘s definitely your turn. Q: What is true according to the conversation?2. Script M: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this French 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. Script W: 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. Script M: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says ―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. Script M: 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 InScript M: Tell me your secret. Yo u‘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 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 talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in you r 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 c lass 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 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 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 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 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 TechniquesScript There 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 atte ntion 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? Keys: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScript：Since memory plays a significant role in our life, scientists 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 informationwould 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?Script：This 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 NamesScript：You just call ed 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 discontinued When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something di fferent, 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 si de. 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 Report：A Dolphin ExhibitionScript：A 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.Uint2 II. Basic Listening Practice1. Script：W: Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet? Are you taking French writing again?M: Yes I am, but it‘s compulsory for us next semester. So I think I‘m gong to do marketing as an elective instead.Q: Which class will the man choose as his elective?2. Script：M: Did you go to that businesses lecture on Friday? I missed it and need to copy your notes.W: I‘d say you could borrow my notes, but Sarah‘s got them. Be careful not to miss Professor Brown‘s seminar; he takes attendance in that.

Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought t he 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 discussion at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScript：Robert 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,‖ answeredMom.‖You‘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, b ut I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScript: It 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, ho wever, 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 to study?7. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.

Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Harvard UniversityScript: Harvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners. During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group. Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard‘s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard‘s 26th president in 1001. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university‘s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard‘s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university‘s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard‘s doors open to students from families of differen t economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.6. What is main idea of the passage?7. How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?8. What was the role of religion at Harvard University was during is early years?9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey‘s fund-raising program?10. What did President Rudenstine do? Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DTask 2: The Final ExamScript: At a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. 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?‖Task3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityScript: International students often underestimate the amount of time required to apply for admission to a college or university in the United States. You should avoid this mistake by setting yourself a schedule that starts well in advance of the time you hope to begin your studies. When setting this timetable, always remember that doing things early is the best way forward. To find the institution or program that will best serve your academic or professional goals, allow yourself sufficient time to research thoroughly your options. Then meet the application deadlines of the university to which you apply. These may be as much as 10 months before the school term. The need for an early start holds true even if you can apply on the Internet. University websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests, in time to meet application deadlines. In fact, although some students did score high on TOEFL and GRE, they were not admitted because they failed to meet the deadline.For Reference:1. They often underestimate the amount of time required.2. They must allow themselves sufficient time to research thoroughly their options3. They may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms.4.

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 aBritish prince.Uint3 II.

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 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 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, 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: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.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?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?

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 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: 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.

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 youcannot 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:1A2.C3.D4.B5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1I t slipped my mind!Amy:I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.Bill:That’s good.Now what should we do?Amy:We’ve got to plan the menu.Bill:Oh,that’s right.Do you have anything in mind?Amy:I think I’m going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party.Remember I sled the chef for the recipe?Bill:Yeah,but did you forget that Linda doesn’t eat chicken?Amy:Linda?Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite Linda!It just slipped my mind.She’ll be mad at me.Bill:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.It’s not too late yet.I’ll make a phone call.Don’t worry.Amy:Thanks!You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!Bill:Looks like you are,sweetheartNow Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA:I’m going to throw a party,and I’ve sent out the invitations to my friends and relatives.B:That’s good.But don’t forget to invite everyone you should invite.A:I think I’ve invited everyone.Do you have anybody in mind?B:Did you invite John?He’s lost his job after recent quarrel with his boss.A:Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite him!He’ll be sad,thinking we look down on him.He just slipped my mind.B:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.Don’t worry.It’s not too late.Makea phone call right away.A:Did I forget anybody else that I should incite?B:There’s yet another person you should invite—Julia.She’s just moved to the city and feels lonely.A:Oh,good heavens,I forgot all about her.She’s our new friend.You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!B:Looks like you are,buddy.You’d better start writing things down if they’re important.can’’t think of it off the top of my head.

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.Ways of Improving OneOne’’sMemoryExamplesCreating images To remember the items tobuy sat the grocery storesuch as carrots,eggs,bananas,and milkImages that you may help:1.a giant carrot and abanana hanging from it2.a giant milk cartonpouring milk over thecarrot and banana3.an egg-shaped UFOflying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1.The sound of the keysmight remind you ofy\having placed then ina drawer.2.The cold touch of thekeys might remind youof 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 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 ck 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.A2.B3.D4.D5.CTask2: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.

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.Task2: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$100and 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 couple of weeks.He’s never going to learn the value of money that way.”“Don’t worry,honey,”Mom said,“I taped the$100check to the cover of his book, but I put the$1,000one 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.Thenhe 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:1B2.C3.D4.A5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1Y ou ou’’re just going to have study hardNora:Only our first day back at school,and already I feel like I’ve learned a lot.

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:1A2.C3.D4.B5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1I t slipped my mind!Amy:I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.Bill:That’s good.Now what should we do?Amy:We’ve got to plan the menu.Bill:Oh,that’s right.Do you have anything in mind?Amy:I think I’m going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party.Remember I sled the chef for the recipe?Bill:Yeah,but did you forget that Linda doesn’t eat chicken?Amy:Linda?Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite Linda!It just slipped my mind.She’ll be mad at me.Bill:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.It’s not too late yet.I’ll make a phone call.Don’t worry.Amy:Thanks!You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!Bill:Looks like you are,sweetheartNow Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA:I’m going to throw a party,and I’ve sent out the invitations to my friends and relatives.B:That’s good.But don’t forget to invite everyone you should invite.A:I think I’ve invited everyone.Do you have anybody in mind?B:Did you invite John?He’s lost his job after recent quarrel with his boss.A:Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite him!He’ll be sad,thinking we look down on him.He just slipped my mind.B:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.Don’t worry.It’s not too late.Makea phone call right away.A:Did I forget anybody else that I should incite?B:There’s yet another person you should invite—Julia.She’s just moved to the city and feels lonely.A:Oh,good heavens,I forgot all about her.She’s our new friend.You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!B:Looks like you are,buddy.You’d better start writing things down if they’re important.MODEL2I cancan’’t think of it off the top of my head.ScriptJohn:Hey,Sue.Do you know what Jack’s home phone number is?Susan:I don’t have my address book on me, and I don’t have my mobile phone with me,either.John:That’s too bad!I’ve got to find him now.It’s urgent!If I can’t find him today, I’ll be dead!Susan:You might want to look it up in the phone book.John:I’ve checked already,but it seems that hid phone number is unlisted.Susan:Maybe it’s under his roommate’s name.John:Well,I guess so.Susan:Well,why don’t you call Jane?She has his phone number.John:I’ve tried,but no one answered!Susan:Maybe call his office and ask his secretary.John:I’ve already tried.She won’t tell me.She says it’s private.Susan:Oh,that’s right.phone.John:It’s a pity.You usually have a powerful memory,but you can’t help today.What’s wrong with you?Your memory seems to be fading early.Susan:It’s not my memory is fading.I do have memory for face and names,but a poor one for number and datesNow Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA:Hey,do you remember when is the lecture on the value of information by Professor Smith?B:I can’t think of it off the top of my head.Maybe we can look it up in our notebook, but I don’t have mine with me.A:That’s too bas!I don’t have it with me,either.Do you remember the number of the lecture hail?B:Sorry,I can’t think of it off my head.A:I’m terribly interested in the lecture.I can’t miss it!B:Well,why don’t you call the dean who arranged the lecture?A:I’m afraid it’s not very wise to ask the dean directly.B:Then maybe you can call the office if the department and ask the secretary.A:I’ve already tried,but no one answered.B:Oh!A:You usually have a powerful memory,but you can’t help today.You memory seems to be fading early.B:It’s nit that my memory is fading.I do have a good memory for faces and names, but a poor one for numbers and dates.MODEL3What’s wrong with your memory?ScriptBill:Hi,honey!My trip to London was wonderful.Amy:Tell me what thrilled you most.[The telephone rings and Bill answers it....He hangs up.]Bill:Er,where was I?Amy:You were talking about your tour in London.Bill:Oh,yeah.Amy:I bet you had a great time.Bill:Yes,I particularly enjoyed visiting the tower of London.Amy:How did you get there?By bus or underground?Bill:Let me see….Sorry,I can’t remember any more.Amy:What’s wrong with your memory?Bill:I hope it’s not Alzheimer’s disease.I don’t want to forget my own name.

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.Ways of Improving OneOne’’sMemoryExamplesCreating images To remember the items tobuy sat the grocery storesuch as carrots,eggs,bananas,and milkImages that you may help:1.a giant carrot and abanana hanging from it2.a giant milk cartonpouring milk over thecarrot and banana3.an egg-shaped UFOflying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1.The sound of the keysmight remind you ofy\having placed then ina drawer.2.The cold touch of thekeys might remind youof 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 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 ck 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.A2.B3.D4.D5.CTask2: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”.About5minutes 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 ter,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 hename,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.$750to cover the artists’fee and the cost of materials.There were more than100dolphin 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.

ScriptM: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this French 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 becauseI‘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.

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 talking 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 swearthis 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 principleof ―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 ofwhat 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 hasalready 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.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 theol 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 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 learnto play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. Theseadded 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 mindwhile 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 releaseit slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you cannot 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. How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5. What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3. D 4.B 5.DIV.

Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from 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 thingsbetter 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 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 essentialfactor 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 alsoplays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, wemust allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise andstore 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 tothe 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 whooften 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 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, 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 asyou 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 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 theartists‘ 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.

Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an importantpart 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.

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 few terms every day while brushing his teeth.

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.

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 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 d istributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving Techniques.1.

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 discontinued When 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 acti ons that “ties in “with his or hername. 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, v isualize 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.

Thank you very much for your time.B: You’re welcomeV. Let’s TalkScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.There are a lot of things in our educational system that I don’t agree with. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could’ve had, had they been educated in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are focused to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids lost their interest in learning.Educators have failed to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They often exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students who are believed to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, for example, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they ate brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called “weak students” are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class id their grades are lower then others. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected to act. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pretty sad to me. I think that many of the kids in those classed are intelligent, but never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated very early on in their education.ProblemsResultsEducators just want to give standardized tests. They only focus on academic perf ormance but neglect students’ abilities and interests in other areas.Kids lose interest in learning.Educators often exert a lot of pressure on students to be aswell-rounded as possible.Some intelligent kids can’t enter good colleges.“Weak” stude nts are separated from the rest of the school.Their grades go from bad to worse.DebateSAMPLEA: Many ads about English classes for children say, “Don’t let your kids lose the competition just because they start later.” I quite agree. I hear young children often learn a foreign language faster then adults.B: It’s hard to say. Kids may learn the pronunciation better than adults, but adults usually learn vocabulary and grammar faster.A: You can learn vocabulary and grammar later on; but when you grow up, you can hardly change your pronunciation.B: But if they learn the wrong pronunciation from the beginning? If they don’t learn English when they are young in the right way, it’ll affect their English studiesA: Anyway, some good or “key” schools g ive English tests to kids before admitting them.B: English is important, bur other subjects like Chinese and math ate equally important. If kids spend too much time on English, they have little time left for other subjects.A: Some people say that learning a foreign language can help develop children’s mental abilities such as memory, attention span and concentration, which will e of help in learning other subjects.B: But too much time for studying and too little left for playing, children’s moral and phy sical development will be affected.A: Well, it’s difficult for me to convince you, and vice versa. Let’s agree to disagree.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in her United States. Founded 16years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from 9 students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 18,000students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professor schools. Over14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculties. Harvard has produces six presidents of the United States and 34 Noel winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its graduates became ministers in Puritan church throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey (1953-1971), Harvard started what was then the largest fund-raising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5 million dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1001. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university’s school and faculties, Rud enstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harvard’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of as aping the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.6.

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. Theyexplained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on th e 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 sepa rate 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?”Task3: Applying for a place in an American UniversityScriptInternational students often underestimate the amount of time required to apply for admission to a college or university in the United States. You should avoid this mistake by setting yourself a schedule that starts well in advance of the time you hope to begin your studies. When setting this timetable, always remember that doing things early is the best way forward. To find the institution or program that will best serve your academic or professional goals, allow yourself sufficient time to research thoroughly your options. Then meet the application deadlines of the university to which you apply. These may be as much as 10 months before the school term.The need for an early start holds true even if you can apply on the Internet. University websites and other academic Internet sites may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms, but you still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests, in time to meet application deadlines. In fact, although some students did score high on TOEFL and GRE, theywere not admitted because they failed to meet the deadline.For Reference:1. They often underestimate the amount of time required.2. They must allow themselves sufficient time to research thoroughly their options3. They may provide quick and convenient access to the required application forms.4. They still need time to research your options, contact teachers and institutions to obtain recommendation and transcripts of academic records, and sign up for required entrance exams, that is, standardized tests.5. Because they failed to meet the deadline.News ReportPrince William in ChileScriptWhat goes into a prince’s education today? 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 par t, 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 onthe 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.。
