Unit1Part 1B1.Woman: This is my family. I'm married. My husband's name is Bill. We have two children — a boy and a girl. Our little girl is six years old, and our little boy is four. Jennie goes to kindergarten, and Aaron goes to nursery school. My father lives with us. Grandpa's great with the kids. He loves playing with them and taking them to the park or the zoo.2.Man: This is a picture of me and my three sons. We're at a soccer game. Orlando is twelve, Louis is ten, and Carlos is nine. All three of them really like sports. Orlando and Louis play baseball. Carlos is into skating.3.Man: This is my wife June, and these are my three children. Terri on the right is the oldest. She's in high school. She's very involved in music. She's in the orchestra. Rachel — she's the one in the middle — is twelve now. And this is my son Peter. He's one year older than Rachel. Rachel and Peter are both in junior high school. Time really flies. June and I have been married for twenty years now.4.Woman: This is a picture of me with my three kids. The girls, Jill and Anne, are both in high school. This is Jill on the right. She'll graduate next year. Anne is two years younger. My son Dan is in college. It seemslike the kids are never home. I see them for dinner and sometimes on Saturday mornings, but that's about it. They're really busy and have a lot of friends.CWoman: Well, my brother was six years younger than I, and er, I think that when he was little I was quite jealous of him. I remember he had beautiful red curls (mm) ... my mother used to coo over him. One day a friend and I played, erm, barber shop, and, erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down) ... That's right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother just was so upset, and in fact it's the first ... I think it’s one of the few times I've ever seen my father really angry.Man: What happened to you?Woman: Oh ... I was sent to my room for a whole week you know, it was terrible.Man But was that the sort of pattern, weren't you close to your brother at all?Woman: Well as I grew older I think that er I just ignored him ... Man: What about ... you've got an older brother too, did ... were they close, the two brothers?Woman: No, no my brother's just a couple of years older than I ... so the two of us were closer and we thought we were both very grown up and he was just a ... a kid ... so we deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time.Man: What was he doing down there?Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work ... And, erm, I didn't, I can't even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married. But I re ... I do remember that later on my mother was showing me pictures of his wedding, 'cause my mother and father went down there (uh huh) to the wedding, and er, there was this guy on the photos with a beard and glasses, and I said,"Oh, who's this then?" 'cause I thought it was the bride's brother or something like this (mm) ... and my mother said frostily, "That ... is your brother!" (laughter)Questions for memory test:1. According to the passage, how many brothers does the lady have?2. When the sister saw her mother coo over her younger brother, how did she feel?3. What's her father's reaction when he got to know that the sister had cut off her younger brother's hair?4. How old was her younger brother when she left home?5. Where did her brother eventually live?6. Who was the guy on the photos with a beard and glasses?PART 2A and BRadio presenter: Good afternoon. And welcome to our midweek Phone-In. In today's program we' re going to concentrate on personal problems. And here with me in the studio I've got Tessa Colbeck, who writes the...in Flash magazine, and Doctor Maurice Rex, Student Medical Adviser at the University of Norfolk.The number to ring with your problem is oh one, if you are outside London, two two two, two one two two. And we have our first caller on the line, and it’s Rosemary, I think, er calling from Manchester. Hello, Rosemary.Rosemary: Hello.Radio presenter: How can we help you, Rosemary?Rosemary:Well it’s my dad. He won’t let me stay out after ten o'clock at night and all my friends can stay out much longer than that. I always have to go home first. It's really embarrassing...Tessa: Hello, Rosemary, love. Rosemary, how old are you, dear? Rosemary: I'm fifteen in two month's time.Tessa: And where do you go at night?--When you go out?Rosemary: Just to my friend's house, usually. But everyone else can stay there much later than me. I have to leave at about a quarter to ten. Tessa: And does this friend of yours-does she live near you? Rosemary: It takes about ten minutes to walk from her house to ours. Tessa: I see. You live in Brighton, wasn’t it? Well ,Brighton’s…Rosemary: No, Manchester…I live in Manchester.Tessa: oh. I’m sorry, love. I’m getting mixed up. Yes, well Manchester's quite a rough city, isn't it ? I mean, your dad...Rosemary: No, not really. Not where we live, it isn’t. I don't live in the City Center or anything like that. And Christine's house is in a very quiet part.Tessa: Christine. That's your friend, is it?Rosemary: Yeah. That's right. I mean, I know my dad gets worried but it’s perfectly safe.Maurice: Rosemary. Have you talked about this with your dad? Rosemary: No. He just shouts and then he says he won't let me go out at all if I can't come home on time.Maurice: Why don't you just try to sit down quietly with your dad-- sometime when he's relaxed--and just have a quiet chat about it? He’ll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn't always safe for young girls to go out at night.Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to come and pick you upfrom Christine's house once or twice.Rosemary: Yes .I don't think he'll agree to that, but I'll talk to him about it . Thanks.Part 3Josephine: We did feel far more stability in our lives, because you see ... in these days I think there's always a concern that families will separate or something, but in those days nobody expected the families to separate.Gertrude: Of course there may have been smoking, drinking and drug-taking years ago, but it was all kept very quiet, nobody knew anything about it. But these days there really isn't the family life that we used to have. The children seem to do more as they like whether they know it's right or wrong. Oh, things are very different I think. Question: What was your parents' role in family life?Josephine:Well, my mother actually didn't do a tremendous amount in the house, but she did do a great deal of work outside and she was very interested, for example, in the Nursing Association collecting money for it. We had somebody who looked after us and then we also had someone who did the cleaning.Gertrude: Well, we lived in a flat, we only had three rooms and a bathroom. Father worked on the railway at Victoria Station and my mother didn't work, obviously. My father's wage I think was about twopounds a week and I suppose our rent was about twelve shillings a week, you know as rent was - I'm going back a good many years. We didn't have an easy life, you know and I think that's why my mother went out so much with her friends. It was a relief for her, you know really. Question: Did you have a close relationship with your parents? Josephine: In a sense I would say not very close but we, at that time, didn't feel that way, we didn't think about it very much I don't think. I think today people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything, which we didn't. Then, of course, we used to play a lot of games, because we didn't have a television or even a radio and we would play games in the evenings rather than have conversation, I think. Question:Was there more discipline in families in those days? Josephine:Oh yes, I do think so, yes. We were much more disciplined and we went about as a family and it wasn't until I was probably about 18 before I would actually go out with any friends of my own.Statements:1. Seventy years ago young people often smoked and drank in front of others.2. Apart from a great deal of work outside, Josephine's mother also looked after her children and did the cleaning in the house.3. Gertrude's father earned two pounds a week.4. Gertrude's family had to pay ten shillings a week for their flat.5. Young people seventy years ago deeply felt that they did not have a very close relationship with their parents.6. Nowadays people are much closer to their parents and talk about everything to them.Part 4Q: Parent Link is an organization that looks at the problems that parents and children face. Its director, Tim Kahn, told us about the changing roles of parents and children.T: The authoritarian model was one in which the child had no rights and I guess in the 60s and perhaps the 70s many people rejected that and we had the sort of the permissive era---the age where many parents felt they had to allow their children to do whatever they wanted to do and so in a sense the roles were reversed and it was the children who were the bosses and the parents who ran around behind them. The ideas that we offer to parents are kind of a third position in which we’re looking at equals, where parents and children are different but equal.Q: What about changes in the male-female roles?T:Society has changed a lot. As well as technology leading to great changes, people’s roles have changed very much, in particular the women’s movement has very much questioned the role of women and led many women to demand a freer choice about who they are and how theycan be. There’s a lot of frustration with how men haven’t changed, and it seems to me that the more the frustration is expressed the more stuck in and being the same men are and we need to find ways of appreciating men for the amount of work that they have to do in being bread-winners and providers for families and appreciating the efforts men are making to be more involved with their children.Q: Are there any changes you would like to see in the attitude to family life in Britain?T:In the past there were arranged marriages and I wonder if part of having an arranged marriage is knowing that you have to work at it to create the love and that now people are getting married out of love and there’s a kind of feeling that yo ur love is there and it will stay there for ever and we don’t have to work at it and when it gets tricky we don’t know how to work at it and so we opt out. I think helping people learn to work at their relationships to make their relationship work would be a significant thing that I’d like to see happening.Part 5BLouisa:She doesn't let me watch that much TV after school, which is really annoying because most of my friends watch Home and Away and Neighbors but I only get to watch one of them. I sometimes don't —I mean I think that's really unfair so sometimes I just watch both anyway.Mother:First and foremost, Louisa watches a fair amount of television whether she thinks she's deprived or not, she must watch at least 45 minutes per day. And when I'm not around you know I know the child sneaks in a fair amount more than that. So she gets in a fair amount of television, certainly on the weekends. But I am of the opinion that television, very very very few programs will teach them anything. And I think when a child is under your care for 18 years it's the parents' responsibility to make sure that the input is of value, and I don't think television, much television is of any value at all, I think reading a book and doing her piano lessons are far more valuable than watching crummy American soap operas.Questions for memory test:1. How many TV plays are mentioned?2. For how long a time does Louisa watch TV per day?3. Does Louisa try to get more time to watch TV?4. Which activities does Louisa's mother think are far more valuable?CMy parents gave me a lot of free time. After dinner, during the week when I was say even 15 years old they would let me go out until teno'clock and they would never ask where I went. I would smoke cigarettes and drink beer, at 15 years old I would hang out in the ... in the local pubs and these were type of things that I don't think were too good for me at that time. I think my parents should have, you know, maybe at least showed an interest as to where I was going. They never even asked where I was going and they, they gave me a lot of free time, and I think that they, they felt that this was a thing that was being a good parent. But I think that teenagers are very naive, and I was as a teenager very naive, and I think I could have used a little more direction from them. These days a lot of parents think they should be lenient with their children, they should let them grow and experience on their own. And I think that's what my parents were doing, I think there's a Biblical saying "Spare the rod, spoil the child" and I think that really applies. And I think you need to direct especially young people. They can be thrown into such a harsh world, especially if you live in a city. I lived in a very small village and it was still a rough crowd that I found in that village. And my parents never asked questions, and if they only knew they would be shocked.Statements:1. When the boy was 15 years old, he could stay out until ten o'clock.2. At the age of 15, the boy was not allowed to smoke cigarettes or drink beer.3. The boy thought his parents were very good because they gave him a lot of free time.4. The boy lived in a very crowded city.。

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. Ma grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. I the end, I didn’t want to go home!Activity 4: Making memories Audio Track 2- 1-7A popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journalentries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days, “Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,” “Baby’s first year.”2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters---anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pageswith felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Activity 5: A book of memories Audio Track 2- 1-9 Yearbook in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the schoolyear---a “book of memories” for the stud ents.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. Thelast photos are the first year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is notonly about students.The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos anddescriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricularactivities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the2大学英语视听说教材听力原文第三版（第二册）yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors voteand choose the “class clown” (a funny student), the “most likely to succeed”(a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especiallyimportant for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notesto each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,” or “I’ll never forget you.” They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Keys:OL1: A. 2-passport; 1-diary; 3-yearbook B. 1. boyfriend 2.

(D)3.M: How about your trip to Chicago?W: To tell you the truth, I would rather have spent my vacation here.Q: What does the woman mean? (C)4.W: In India many people drink tea, but coffee is also popular. In Chinaand Japan tea is more commonly drunk than coffee.M: I agree with the Chinese habit. Coffee tastes terrible to me.Q: What does the man usually drink? (B)5.M: I’m not surprised you did n’t like that movie. I found it reallyfrightening myself.W: I did, too. I didn’t care much for horror movies as a rule.Q: What does the woman mean? (B)6.W: I’m not going swimming in the lake unless it warms up outsidetoday.M: Me neither.

(D)Part ThreePassageI.Study the following before listening.demonstrate /'demənstreit/ v. 演示variability /vεəriə'biləti/ n. 变化exceptionally /ik'sepʃənəli/ adv. 例外的compliment /'kɔmplimənt/ n. 赞美embarrassment /im'bærəsmənt/ n. 尴尬conceit /kən'si:t/ n. 自负II.Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions you hear.As we all know, variability and differences exist in the world culture, perhaps nowhere better demonstrated than in the way people greet one another. In America, exceptionally good friends of the opposite sex kiss once and usually near the mouth but without touching the lips,while in Spain such people kiss twice, first on the right cheek and then on the left cheek. In Belgium people normally kiss three times, right, left, right.If a man says, “You are pretty.”To an American lady, she will certainly feel quite happy and reply with “thank you”. It is assumed that the compliment is sincere. If the same thing happens to a Chinese lady in the past years, the thing will be totally different. The lady may consider the man is flirting and be angry to him immediately, or maybe she may answer, “where, where, (No, no.)” In Chinese culture acceptance of a compliment implies conceit or a lack of manners.Greetings also vary in different cultures. The British would like to begin a conversation with talking about weather, while Chinese people may greet other, “Have you eaten?”or “Where are you going?” If people do not know the cultural differences, inappropriate greetings may cause trouble and embarrassment.Questions:1.In which country do people kiss three times as a kind of greetingaccording to the passage? (D)2.Why do Chinese ladies reply, “No, no.” when hearing compliment?(C)3.How do American good friends of the opposite sex kiss? (A)4.Which topic will the British choose to begin a conversation? (C)5.What will probably happen if people of different nations do notknow the cultural differences? (A)Part FourTrue of FalseI.Study the following before listening.reservation /rezə'veiʃən/ n. 预定indebted /in'detid/ adj. 受惠的customary /'kʌstə,məri/ adj. 习俗的II.Listen to the passage carefully and decide whether the statements are true of false. Write “T” for true and “F”If you invite someone to join you for dinner in a restaurant, phone the restaurant first to find out if you need a reservation in order to avoid a long wait for a table. To make a reservation, just give your name, the number of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive.When you invite someone to dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on paying his or her share, don’t get into an argument about it.Some people prefer to pay their own way so that they don’t feel indebted, and those feelings should be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress’s tip is not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it’s customary to leave a tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.1.When making a reservation, it is necessary to give your phonenumber. (F)2.You shouldn’t let your companion pay for the meal in any situation.(F)3.The bill usually includes the tips. (F)4.In expensive American restaurants, you should leave more than15% of the bill as tip. (T)5.Sometimes, people would like to go Dutch to avoid indebtedfeelings. (T)Part FiveDictationDirections: In this part, you will hear the passage three times. Try to fill in the blanks according to the passage you’ll hear.If you are invited to someon e’s home (1) to have a meal, it is usual to take some flowers or a box of chocolates. It is not usual to take a bottle of (2) wine unless you know your (3) host well. Although flowers and chocolates (4) are quite acceptable, it would be very nice if you could take something (5) from your country. It is different if you are invited to a party, and it (6) depends on what kind of party it is. Many parties these days are “bring a bottle” parties. Unless (7) your host is very rich, then a bottle of wine is always welcome. If it is a big party of (8) about 30 or more people, ask whether or not you should bring a bottle when you are invited (9) if you aren’t sure. Say something like, “Can I bring a bottle?”And (10) your host will tell you what to do.Part SixTime for PleasureDirections: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.An old gentleman was very unhappy about modern education and thought that young people nowadays were not being taught the importance of knowing the difference between right and wrong. One day he was taking a walk in the park near his home when he saw some young boys standing around a small cat. The old gentleman went up to the boys and asked them what was happening. One of the boys said to him, “We’re having a contest. We are telling lies, and the one who tells the biggest one gets to keep the cat.”The old gentleman thought that this was a good opportunity to teach the boys a useful lesson. So he said to them, “I’ve never told a lie in my life.”All at once there was a great shout from all the boys, and they said, “You’ve won, and the car is yours.”Questions:1.Why were all boys shouting after the old gentle man’s remark?Because they thought the old man told the biggest lie.2.Why wasn’t the gentleman satisfied with the modern education?Because he thought the modern education did not tell young peoplethe difference between right and wrong.3.What were the boys doing in the park?They were having a contest about telling lies.4.Why did the old man take part in the contest?The old gentleman thought that this was a good opportunity to teach the boys a useful lesson.5.What do you learn from the story? (This is an open question.)Unit 2 The Way to SuccessPart OneWarming-up ActivityDirections: Enjoy the movie “Notting Hill”.Anna is a famous star, while William is the owner of a little bookshop. One day they meet in the bookshop. And there is a thief in the bookshop. William: Of course, I’ve seen her films and always thought she was, well, fabulous. But you know, a million and million miles from the world I live in, which is here ----- Notting Hill --- my favorite bit of London… And so this is where I spend my days and years --- in this small village in the middle of the city, in a house with a blue door that my wife and I bound together before she left me for a man who looked exactly like Harrison Ford. And so it was just another hopeless Wednesday, as I moved a thousand yards through the market to word, never suspecting that this wasthe day which was gonna change my life forever. This is work, by the way, my little travel book shop… which, well, sells travel books--- and , be frank with you, doesn’t always sell many of those.William: Can I help you too?Anna: No, thanks. I’ll just look around.William: Fine. That book’s really not great --- just in case, you know, browsing turned to buying. You’d be wasting your money. But if it is Turkey you are interested in, this one, on the other hand, is very good. I think the man who wrote it has actually been to Turkey, which helps. There’s also a very amusing incident with kebab, which is one of many amusing incidents.Anna: Thanks, I’ll think about it.William: Or in the bit of hardback variety….. (Suddenly he spies something odd on the small TV monitor beside him.) Sorry, can you just give me a second? (To the thief) Excuse me.Thief: Yes?William: Bad news.Thief: What?William: We’ve got a security camera in this bit of the shop.Thief: So?William: So, I saw you put that book down your trousers.Thief: What book?William: The one down your trousers.Thief: Oh, I don’t have a book down my trousers.William: Right, I tell you what---- I’ll call the police. And, what can I say? If I’m wrong about the whole book-down-the-trousers scenario, I really apologize.Thief: Okay---what if I did have a book down my trousers?William: Well, ideally, when I went back to the desk, you’d remove the Cadogan Guide to Bali from your trousers, and either wipe it and put it back, or buy it. I’ll see you in a second. (To Anna) Sorry about that…. Anna: No, that’s fine. I was going to steal one but now I’ve changed my mind.

Module2 Unit1 Cultural HeritageListening and Speaking一、主题语境：人与社会——文化遗产二、课程类型（课型）：Listening and Speaking三、内容分析：本单元的话题内容是“文化遗产”，它属于“人与社会”这一主题语境下的“历史、社会与文化”。

听力文本是关于一个国际青少年文化遗产保护项目的采访。

采访围绕三个主要内容展开：国际青少年文化保护项目介绍，选择泰山作为项目开展地点的原因，以及他们保护泰山文化遗产的具体做法。

文本指出了保护文化遗产的重要性，以及文化遗产保护的历史和现状，并号召学生积极参与文化遗产保护活动。

学生通过听力文本中对青少年参与文化遗产保护的描述，了解文化遗产保护的意义，以及青少年可以运用所学知识、结合自身兴趣和优势等，参与文化遗产保护中的行动中。

这些内容与学生的社会生活有关，有助于学生在语言知识、文化意识、思维品质等方面能力的提高。

四、学情分析及目标设定本节授课对象为高一学生。

经过新教材必修一的学习，学生们已对新教材单元整体学习的意识已初步形成。

但学生在听说环节还是比较薄弱，未能很熟悉掌握相关的听力策略，如预测听力文本，根据听力内容猜测重要的词汇等，需老师层层引导，才能更好理解听力文本，为后面口头输出就文化遗产保护进行探讨、发表自己想法做铺垫。

基于以上学情，围绕单元主题，依据新课程理念，确定本节教学目标为：通过本课学习，学生能够1）根据图片发散思维，预测听力文本的内容并能够从整体和关键细节两方面理解听力文本内容。

2）获得根据上下文猜测词汇的能力。

3）利用教材新闻材料模仿朗读，能够正确发好辅音连缀词汇(gr, cr, pr etc.)。

4）通过听力文本内容学习，提升文化遗产保护意识和增强民族自豪感，并能与同伴探讨参与文化遗产保护活动的方式。

五、教学设计理念：听力活动设计第一环节，通过图片引入，引导学生从不同角度思考预测听力文本内容，是相关知识体验的激活和准备阶段，梳理思维，帮助学生降低听力难度，为后面更好从整体和关键细节两方面理解听力文本内容做好铺垫。

Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.

When the food was served, one f the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.

It can make us sad or happy, relaxed or full of energy.Slow music calm people. Ballads and some forms of classical music often create a peacefulatmosphere that is good for relaxing after a busy day. If the music is slowed below 50 beats per minute, it can create an atmosphere of sadness. This kind of slow music can be found in many types of music, such as jazz and blues. Many people listen to slow music. It suits their mood when they are alone at night.Faster music, such as rock, heavy metal and dance music, tend to give us energy and makes us feel full of life. This type of music is often played at sporting events to stir up the fans and the teams. Rock, pop music and rap are played at parties. They can provide energy to the gathering. Since most rock, pop, and rap songs are easy to listen to, they are suitable for parties. Rock music is sometimes used to accompany physical labor. Its heavy fast tempo speeds up the heart, and one almost works in time to the music, making the work more enjoyable.Some people think that rock music can cause road accidents .Drivers could become excited by the speed of the music and drive too fast. But there are so many things to distract a driver’s attention that it dose not make sense to blame rock music.1.classical2.peaceful3.relaxing4.Jazz5.sadness6.heavy metal7.energy8.sporting events9.physical labor10.road accidentsIV.

Let’s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister s published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the De partment of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman’s a ddition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters’ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Colem an. In court, she succeeded in proving that they were the real owners of the song.1.Good Morning to All2.Success3.musical talents4.without5.second part6.replaced7.legal action8.real ownersVI.

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he was alreadyshowing great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking music lessons. The boy’s reputation as a musical prodigy grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano and the violin, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770 when he was only 14. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher, and his first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.1. Which of the following is true of the four-year-old Mozart? B2.

After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say this line in praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actorwalked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious!” You damned fool!” he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled, “What happened?

It is televised live in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and gathers large numbers of viewers elsewhere throughout the world. This year’s ceremony was watched by more than 40 million Americans. It is said that only the Super Bowl, the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, and the Football World Cup Final draw more viewers in the United States. However, the Academy Awards are not without criticism. It has been observed that several of the Academy Award winners have not stood the test of time. Critics claim that many films with artistic value, cultural influence and innovative qualities have not received enough attention. Since the 1980s, money-making blockbusters have often been Best Picture winners, but they are not necessarily great films with depth. The Academy Awards have also been criticized for favoring certain types of films and neglecting other types. The Best Picture Prize has rarely been given to an animated film or a science fiction film, with Avatar as an exception.1.film2. directors3. actors4. important5. the United Kingdom6. viewers7. 40 million 8.

Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean!

John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s so cute.V. Let’s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth.Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which wa s marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?” “Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, or walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, h e wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution wasto place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters reads during the course of the movie.1.

Furthering Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’d only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOO M and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.forgot his lineTask 2: Movie reviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend Monsoon Wedding. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sadsituations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!Among dramas, I like Adaptation. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.The Pianist is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.Rabbit-Proof Fence is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police. After this happens, the police send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers.

Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.”Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.” They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other’s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each o ther go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.Task 3 An American weddingAmerican weddings are not always the same. I’d like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and when the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me away to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next person to get married. At the reception, we cutthe wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.3 2 1 5 9 7 64 8IV.
