Unit 11 AnimalsPart ACommunicative Function Making SuggestionsIn daily life we are often approached by our friends or relatives for advice. In return we make suggestions to them as to what they should do. In other words, we put forward an idea for them to consider. In this exercise we are going to focus on various ways of making suggestions in English.Now listen to the recording and complete the conversation.A: Linda, I want to buy Tom a pet for his birthday. What shall I give him? Could you give me some suggestions?B: Why don’t you buy him a dog? Dogs are so friendly.A: Yes, I know. But he has got a dog.B: How about a rabbit? Rabbits are lovely.A: But Tom doesn’t like rabbits.B: Have you thought about buying him a bird?A: He hates birds.B: Then you can buy him some tropical fish. They are pretty.A: That’s a good idea. Where can I get them?B: The market. Shall we go right now?A: All right.Useful Expressions for Making Suggestions●Don't you think we should (take the dog for a walk)?●Shall we (get some dog food from that store)?●Why don't we (buy Johnny a pet for a gift)?●Why don't you (leave your dog to your neighbor while you're on holiday)?●Why not (feed the cat now)?●How about (buying some tropical fish)?●What about (building a hutch for the rabbit)?●You'd better (clean up the rabbit hutch).●If I were you I'd (go and buy a parrot in the market).●Have you thought about (having a dog for company)?●I was wondering if you’d ever thought of (buying Jimmy some gold fish for his birthday).●I think it might be a good idea to (buy him a pet mouse. He was born in the year of the rat).Listening StrategyDetecting Liaison in Connected SpeechIn connected speech words are not spoken separately. The final consonant of a word is often linked to the first vowel of the next word. This is called liaison. Liaison occurs most often with the sound /r/. When a word ending with "r" or "re" goes before a word beginning with a vowel sound, the sound /r/ is usually pronounced as a link.Listen to the recording and supply the missing words in the following blanks.1. Nowadays more and more people keep animals like dogs and cats as pets.2. Some people would be interested in a dog care center.3. An average day at Dog Ma costs a dog owner about 25 dollars.4.This is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.5.Dogs are friendly but they need to be fed and taken out for a walk every day.6.Grandma doesn’t want a bird for a pet because birds make a lot of noise and a lot of mess.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about animals and pets. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.Do you or your family keep pets? Why or why not?2.What animals or birds do you think are good as pets?3.What are the positive effects of having a pet to the owner? (Consider, for example,companionship, the healing power of pets.)4.What is the negative side of keeping animals as pets?5.What do people do with their pets when they are away from home?6.Do you have any solution to the problem?7.Have you ever heard of Dog Ma? Can you guess what Dog Ma stands for?Demo:2. What animals or birds do you think are good as pets?I think the best animal we can keep at home is cat. A cat, especially a white cat, is my favorite. Cats are relatively clean and quiet. They don’t eat much and they are clever. What’s more, the owners don’t have to walk their cats in the early morning when most people are still sleeping in bed. So we often see people walk their dogs in the morning, but never see anyone walk their cats.4. What is the negative side of keeping animals as pets?As the saying goes, there are always two sides to a coin. The bad thing about keeping a pet is that the owner has to spend a lot of time and sometimes money on the pet. A pet can cause different kinds of trouble, too. As it is an animal after all and you cannot always expect it to understand or keep the rules of human beings. Another bad thing is that, when animals become people’s pets, they lose their freedom.Language Focus●Here are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing theabove questions:●I've got a dog /cat /hamster / turtle / at home. It's cuddly / a cute little thing and just like myfriend.●I love my dog / cat for it never bothers me / always listens and never answers back.●My pet is a good companion/makes me laugh/helps me make friends with other people withpets/keeps me fit because I have to take it out for walks/gives me unconditional love.●My dog is / intelligent / clever / loyal / reliable / quick to sense my anger or sorrow.●I couldn't help crying / feeling really sad / when my dog went missing / fell ill / got hurt.●Pets are good company, especially for lonely old people / to help people kill loneliness.●It's relaxing watching tropical fish swimming in the tank.●People are spending a great deal of money on their pets every year.●Keeping pets costs time and money. I can't afford either.●Some owner s never clear away their pets’ feces in public places, which, as a result, havepolluted our environment.●Pet dogs and cats can transmit / might be a vehicle of disease to human beings.●I don't think it's right to cage birds, chain dogs and keep cats locked inside the house.●People feel sorry to leave their pets alone at home when they go on holiday / a business trip.●People ask their next door neighbor / friends / relatives to look after their pets when they areaway.Listening TasksA PassageDog MaWord Bankfurry n. covered with fur 毛茸茸的guilty a. suffering from a sense of guilt 内疚的，自责的average a. ordinary, usual 平常的，普通的extra a. additional 额外的overnight a. for or during the night 在夜间dog day-care center a place where dogs are sent to be taken care of when their owners are away or at work, usually during the day宠物狗日托中心Rebecca 丽贝卡(女子名)ScriptDog MaWashington D.C. is a city where people in politics, law and business work more than eight hours each day. Hundreds of thousands of dog owners hate to leave their dogs alone every workday. So they take their furry friends to a dog day-care center in the Washington area. There the dogs play with other dogs and the workers. They also play with toys and they can rest in comfort.Rebecca was a successful high level official at a big company but she did not find her job very satisfying. Her working hours kept getting longer and longer. She felt very guilty about leaving her two dogs inside the house for long periods of time. She knew she was not the only dog owner in Washington in this situation. She felt other people would be interested in a day-care center for dogs. So in 1998 Rebecca left her company and opened Dog Ma near the United States Capitol Building. Since then the business has grown to include one part-time and four full-timeworkers. One worker lives at the center.On a normal day, about 30 dogs are at the center. About 25% of them are younger than one year old. An average day at Dog Ma costs a dog owner about 25 dollars.Dog Ma also offers extra services. Dogs can stay overnight when their owners go out of town. Owners can pay to have their dogs washed and their fur and nails cut. The center also offers dog training and even transportation to and from the center. That is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.Language and Culture Notes1. Background information Westerners like keeping animals, especially dogs, as pets. Dogs are considered very good and loyal companions to their owners. Stories abound about how they bravely saved their owners in dangerous and difficult situations and what healing power pets can have. However, dogs need to be fed and taken out for a walk several times a day. It is very difficult for owners who work long hours to take care of their pets. Some owners in American cities employ professional dog walkers to take their dogs out for exercise and recreation. These people often have five or even ten dogs at one time on leashes. Dog owners also feel sad to leave their pets at home while they go on holiday. So the idea of a day-care center for dogs has caught on and business at such centers is booming.2. The Capitol Building The building that houses the U.S. Congress3. furry friend Referring to the dog. “Furry” means covered with “fur”, which is the thick, short, soft hair of certain animals such as dogs and bears.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What is Dog Ma?a. A center which accepts stray dogs sent by warm-hearted people.b. A center where dogs are taken care of when their owners are away or at work.c.

Dog Ma seems to have a long history.b. Dog Ma seems to be a state-owned business.c. Dog Ma seems aimed at people with a good income.d.

He suffered a heavy loss of blood.ScriptThe Missing Cat and the Injured DogAnimals, especially cats and dogs, are often kept as pets and they can be very good friends of humans. Here are two true stories about a cat and a dog.At Jesus College, Cambridge University, concerns are growing for the safety of a pet cat which has gone missing.Students and lecturers of the college have not seen college cat Benson for three weeks. The 600 students at the college have been asked to search their rooms and keep an eye open for him. The grey and white cat has become an institution at the college. He is officially a member of the college, an honor which includes dining rights. He is well known for wandering in and interrupting tutorials.A spokesman for the college says appeals for help in tracing Benson have not produced any information. He urges anyone who might see the cat to contact the college.In Lexington, Kentucky, a dog, named Jo Jo, was hit by a car. His master Steve Ford searched frantically for him but Jo Jo was nowhere to be found. Ford called the local animal hospital to tell them that Jo Jo had been injured and that he was going to bring him in if he could find him. That's when he found out Jo Jo was already there."He just checked himself in, I guess," Ford said.After the accident, Jo Jo apparently ran about a mile from Ford's home to the animal hospital. He suffered bruises but no broken bones.Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.When animals make long journeys across places where there is no food or shelter, such as deserts or oceans, it is very important that they should be able to find their way accurately.Birds find their way by the stars at night, and by the sun during the day. People thought that this was impossible. Then some scientists made an experiment. They put some migrating birds in cages inside a planetarium. When the operator turned the artificial sky round, the birds began to fly to the sides of the cages. Every time he moved it, the birds moved to a new position. Scientists discovered that they always flew toward the direction in which they would have flown if the skyhad been real. This proved that they could see the stars and respond to them.Many animals, especially birds, have a very precise sense of time, which is called their "internal clock". In cloudy weather, birds delay setting off on long journeys, but if the cloud lasts for a long time, they must go at last, to complete their migration in time. In such conditions, they are able to steer by following the magnetic field of the earth. We could say that they have their own special compass inside them, which tells them the right direction to go.Most migrating animals travel in groups, sometimes in very large numbers. This makes it more likely that they will find the right way, especially when the group has experienced animals which have made the journey before.1. What is the passage mainly about?a. How animals find their way in migration.b. What scientists did to discover the truth about how birds find their way in migration.c. Why some animals like to travel in groups.d. What "internal clock" means.2. What was proved by the experiment mentioned in the passage?a. Birds could tell the difference between the real sky and the artificial sky.b. Birds have a built-in clock inside them.c. Birds could see the stars and would move when the stars change positions.d. Birds always flew towards the south.3. What do migrating birds do if cloudy weather lasts for a long time?a. They set off on their long journey, relying on their internal clock.b. They put off their long journey until the weather clears.c. They follow experienced birds which have made the journey before.d. They follow the magnetic field of the earth for direction.4. How do most migrating animals travel?a. They travel in family groups.b. They travel on clear days and nights.c. They travel together in large numbers.d. They travel independently.。

Different ways can be used to ask for information from different people.Listen to the conversations and write down answers to the following questions.1. He wants to know where he can buy a good painting.2. He found out how much the dress cost as well as where he could buy it.3. She suggests that the man buy a tie for his cousin.Script1. M: Hi, Ann.W: Hi, Jack.M: Uh, listen, Ann, I was wondering if you could help me.W: Yes?M: Do you happen to know where I might buy a good painting?W: Let me think for a minute. Oh, yes, the re’s a new gallery, down on Green Street, that deals with art of all kinds.M: Oh, I know where you mean.Q: What information does the man want to get?2. M: Hi, Mary. You look great!

That's always a good gift.M: Sounds like a good idea.Q: What does the woman suggest that the man should buy?Useful Expressions for Getting Information●Could you tell me...?●I wonder if you could tell me...●I’d like to know something about…●I was wondering if you could help me. I'd like to know...●Excuse me, do you happen to know...?●I hope you don't mind my asking, but I'd like to know...●Would you mind telling me more about...?●What I want to know is…●I don’t quite understand why…Notes1. In most cases if people need some information from others, they can ask directly. Most people are very polite when they ask a stranger about something. They ask by saying “Excuse me, could you…?” “I wonder if you could tell me…” “Could you tell me…?” Between friends, it is quite all right to say simply “Tell me…” or use the question words “what, where, when, how, etc.” to get the information they need. However, people should avoid trying to get information that is considered private.2. gallery place for showing or selling works of artListening StrategyRecognizing PricesThere are different ways to say prices in English. For example, $9.40 can be said nine dollars and forty cents, or nine dollars forty, or simply nine forty.

for your health, or to look good?laura: to be honest, for both. with women, good looks are always a very important consideration. peter: if they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.laura: how about you? do you get any regular exercise?peter: i do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but i never go to the gym like you do.laura: well, walking is good exercise. how about sports?peter: not since my school days. i used to love playing baseball, but its impossible to get enough people together for a game now. mostly i just watch sports on tv.peter: oh, i forgot about that. i go cycling sometimes too. and i often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.laura: why dont you join me at the gym sometime?

w: yes, many times.whenever my friends come to visit me, ill take them there to eat.2. w: is there something wrong, sir?m: my wife and i have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal. 3. w: where is the cake i made this morning?m: we ate it, mom. can you make another one for us?4. w: i hear you like chicken very much.m: next to beef.5. m: have you tried this wine before?w: no, never. its my first time, but its really to my taste. 6. w: john, do you want a soda? m: soda? i think it tastes like medicine. 7. w: why, the fish is left almost untouched. m: well, it would be good if it were less salty. 8. m: hi, sue, would you like to eat out tonight?w: oh, id really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..[ti:unit 2 part b] listening tasks a conversationwhat about dining out?exercise 1listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. peter: hi, kate.kate: hi, peter. how have you been?

kate: that would be great. do you have any particular place in mind?peter: well, i think id like to eat something thats not too heavy. ive been eating a little too much lately.kate: me too.peter: i love italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. they always seem to serve somuch food in italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.kate: chinese food would be good.peter: yes, or maybe some japanese sushi. that style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces. kate: yes, either of those choices would be good. lets just meet on saturday night, and decide then where to eat.peter: thats fine by me.speaking tasks pair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1(at the school canteen) a: what a crowd!b: this is the worst time. the morning classes are just over. everybody is hungry and rushes here to have lunch.a: thats true. im starving and i cant wait. id rather not stand in a long line. b: why dont we have some fried noodles?a: noodles are sold at no. 2 box. no queue there, you see. b: thats great.

It is designed to find out more about an applicant and to see if one is suitable for a particular job. So if one is lucky enough to be called for an interview, good preparation beforehand is necessary. Find out as much as possible about the job and cons ider how one’s qualifications and experience can be related to it.

Unit 2 Fun with LanguagePart ACommunicative FunctionOpening and Closing a ConversationIn everyday life, we often have to open and close a conversation. This exercise focuses on how people perform these communicative functions.Listen to the recording and decide if the first sentence of each short dialogue you hear begins the opening or the closing of a conversation. Choose “a. Opening” or “b. Closing”.Example: --Would you mind closing the window? It's cold in here.--Of course not.a. Openingb. Closing1. a. Opening b. Closing2. a. Opening b. Closing3. a. Opening b. Closing4. a. Opening b. Closing5. a. Opening b. Closing6. a. Opening b. ClosingScript:1.--It’s been a really wonderful evening. Thank you very much for inviting us.--I’m glad you enjoyed it.--Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.--Sounds nice.2.--Great party, isn’t it?--Yeah, really.--You look familiar to me. Have we met before?--I'm afraid not.3. --I'm afraid I have to go now.--So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.--Me too.4. --Excuse me, could you tell me the time?--It's half past 5 by my watch.--Thank you very much.--You're welcome.5. --Is this seat taken?--Oh, let me move my stuff.--Aren't you Jack Brown? I'm Bill, Bill Stone.--Oh, hello, Bill. Fancy meeting you here!6. --Hi, Jack. So good to see you.--Oh, hi, Andy. It's been quite a while since we saw each other last. How're things with you?--Just fine. What've you been doing these years?--Well, I've been studying for my Ph.D degree here at the university.--That's wonderful.Useful Expressions for Opening and Closing a ConversationOpening a Conversation●Beautiful day, isn’t it?●Terrible weather, don’t you think so?●Excuse me, is anybody sitting here / is this seat taken?●I wonder if you can do me a favor.●You look familiar to me, aren't you …?●Excuse me, haven't we met somewhere before?●Excuse me, have you got any stamps?●Excuse me, could you tell me the time?●Excuse me, is this the way to the library?●Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing—did you mention something about...?●Er, do you have a minute?

Remember to give me a ring / send me an e-mail sometime.Notes"Have a good day" is an informal expression used when people part from each other. Similar expressions are "Have a good weekend / trip / evening."Listening StrategyDistinguishing between Similar SoundsIt is important to distinguish between similar sounds while listening. Names like Jean and Jane, figures like 18 and 80 can sound quite alike. Titles like Mrs and Miss can also be confusing.Listen to the recording and underline the letter beside the word you hear in the sentence.1. a. Miss b. Mrs2. a. 1913 b. 19303. a. can b. can't4. a. 20th b. 28th5. a. Mary b. married6. a. Black b. Blake7. a. is b. isn't8. a. said b. sad9. a. bill b. beer10. a. Ann b.

Are you afraid of making mistakes?Yes, I fear to talk in English, especially with strangers. I'm not very good at speaking and Ithink I tend to make more mistakes when talking to my teachers and fewer mistakes with native speakers. I know mistakes are ok and helpful in our learning process, but still I just want to avoid making mistakes, especially on some formal occasions.5. How would you start and close a conversation?Well, there are many ways to start and close a conversation. It depends on whether the conversation is formal or informal. If you are talking with a close friend, you can use any sentence to open or close a conversation. If you are talking with a stranger, you'd better be formal and polite. For example, you can open a conversation: "Excuse me, do you have a minute?" "Can I ask you a favor?" For closing a conversation, you can say: "Nice talking to you. Bye bye!"Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●I often speak English to / with my friends.●To tell the truth, I seldom speak English.●I make mistakes whenever I open my mouth to speak English.●Mistakes are probably unavoidable when we try to speak a foreign language.●No mistakes, no progress.●I'm afraid of making mistakes because I don't want to lose face, so sometimes I just giveup.●I think the best way to improve our oral English is to speak as much as possible.●We learn to speak by speaking.●Practice makes perfect.●Reading more and listening more helps to improving oral English.●No input, no output.●Topics like the weather, places, trips, hobbies, films, books...tend to be safe.●Personal questions should be avoided, I think.Listening TasksA Passage How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsWord Bankappropriate a. suitable, proper 恰当的，合适的smoothly ad. easily, without difficulty 顺利地，无困难地half the battle the thing that counts most in successfully carrying through a difficult task成功的重要条件ScriptHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistakes of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do yousay?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather—It sure is cold today, isn’t it?News—-Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a c onversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Language and Culture NotesBackground information Language is closely related to culture. There are cultural differences between China and the English-speaking countries. In Chinese, questions like “Have you had your breakfast?” or “where are you going?” are often used to greet a person or to initiate a conversation. However, to native speakers of English, the question about the meal would suggest an invitation and therefore may cause misunderstanding. Similarly, the question “Where are you going?” in English is normally a request for information and only used by someone in authority or between very close friends. Therefore, in conversations with native speakers of English, we have to guard against inappropriate topics. In the West, directly asking adults, especially women, their age is generally regarded as impolite. “How much do you earn?” is also an embarrassing question, Income is considered as an extremely personal and private affair, and even within a family, one may not know the exact salary of another family member. Asking native speakers of English directly how much they paid for something is also regarded as an invasion of their privacy. If you really want to get information about the above-mentioned matters, you should use indirect ways. For example, instead of “How much did it cost?” you can say “Is it very expensive?” This gives your partner a choice of reply. In addition, do not give them advice, such as “Put on more clothes” and “Drink plenty of water”. Such remarks seem to them to be rather too parental. In a word, we have to make our English not only grammatically correct but also socially acceptable. In other words, we should be developing a cross-cultural perspective in learning English.There are also similarities in the two cultures, despite the differences. Appropriate topic can be jobs, hobbies, housing, holidays and outings, films, TV programs, and other forms of entertainment.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and then do the following.1. Rearrange the order of the following sentences according to the passage you hear.a. Use some strategies to carry on the conversation.b. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, which are unavoidable.c. Choose an appropriate topic to start a conversation.Key: 1) b 2) c 3) a2. Which of the following does the speaker intend to convey to the listeners?a. Courage and a willingness will definitely result in errors.b. Starting a conversation is more difficult than closing it.c. Choose an appropriate topic and the conversation will be a success.d. Mistakes are unavoidable when you learn to speak a foreign language.Exercise 2: Listening for detailsListen to the recording once again and complete the answers to the following questions.1. What are inappropriate topics to open an English conversation according to the passage?a. ageb. moneyc. people's appearance2. If your partner speaks too fast for you to follow, what can you say?a. Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it.b. Could you speak more slowly, please?3. How do you close a conversation politely?a. Well, I really need to be going.b. It was nice talking to you.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording. Practise the conversations with your partner, playing the role of A or B. Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.A Passage Smile When You Read ThisListen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Correct the ones that are false.1. The smiling students could remember more of the happy article than the frowning students.(T)2.The smiling students could also remember more of the angry article than the frowningstudents.(F)(The frowning students remembered the angry article better.)3. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person’s memory.(T)4. Nowadays the specialists understand why facial expressions can help to improve memory.(F)(The specialists still don’t know why facial expressions help memory.)ScriptSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good.Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.The specialists don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DTest Your Listening A PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What cond ition does the expression “beside oneself” describe today?a. It describes something that really is not possible.b. It describes the possibility of having two of the same person appear together.c. It describes someone who is completely helpless because of anger.d. It describes someone who is extremely excited because of anger or joy.2. What is meant by the expression “flip your lid”?a. You may do something strange in extreme excitement.b. You are beside yourself with happiness.c. You lose self-control due to happiness or anger.d. You turn over the lid of your cooking pot to let the heat out.3. What does the passage mainly discuss?a. Expressions used to describe someone in great joy.b. Origins of some expressions describing someone in great anger.c. Meanings and effectiveness of some common expressions.d. People's excitement and related expressions.Script:Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is to be "beside oneself". You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement.The dictionary tells us that "beside" means "next to", or "at the side of". So the expression "beside oneself" describes something that really is not possible.Today, you might hear a husband say, "When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy." Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job.When you are full of joy or are extremely excited about something, you may do something else that is strange. You may "flip your lid". A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you "flip your lid", you become so excited that you lose your self-control.。

So you’d wait until everyone is served before youeat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “Oh well, it’s time for us, we should get going.”And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food duringTV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top”by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a newchildren’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3Inside viewActivity 2Mark’s answers:1 T2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory?2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!

Let’s TalkJohn:2,4,6,8Anne:1,3,5,7VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: The Origin of the InternetThe story of the Internet begins in the late 1950s. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. The Pentagon set up a research team in 1958 to create a computer network to operate during disasterslike a nuclear war. The resulting network linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It grew into the World Wide Web or the Internet that became the network system of the Information Age. In1985, the National Science Foundation created anetwork which provided a free national service toany U.S. research and education institution. Later, large corporations began to build their ownnetworks. All those networks finally joined the Pentagon’s network to form the Internet. By the 1990s, anyone with a computer, a modern, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. In thefuture, the Internet will probably grow more complex and become part of a larger network called theinformation highway. With that people could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many other activities online.Task2: The Internet—A Small TownThe Internet is a global network, but in many ways it’s like a small town with similar services to offer. There are electronic post offices to send and receive e-mail, functioning somewhat more efficiently than the Post Office we know. Thereare libraries of information that stay open 24 hours a day with millions of books and documents to browse or search through on the World Wide Web or WWW. You can also enjoy real-time text-based communication, using written or printed material to communicate with others immediately and almost “face to face”. Local coffee shops are seen in the guise of chat room, with people dropping by at all hours of the day and night to socialize. Online education and training is available just as it is in a “bricks and mortar” university or school. Online banking offers you all the services available at your local bank, without fearing to be mugged at an ATM. You can buy almost anything, listen to your local radio station or do your grocery shopping. Indeed, the Internet is your town in a box!Task3: If only life could be like a computer!To get your daily exercise, just click on “run”!If you need a break from life, click on “suspend”.
