He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy‟s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing n concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for V ienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. 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 Mozart? D2. How long has Mozart‟s fame lasted? A3.

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to Y ou”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to Y ou” 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 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 Department 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 Y ou”.Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to Y ou”had altogether replaced the sisters‟original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1.teacher at a kindergarten2.Good Morning to All3.Happy Birthday to Y ou4.Happy Birthday to Y ou Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher‟s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to Y ou” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters‟ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to Y ou”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters‟ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.VI.

In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together. We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups? Singing is not a very in thing, so I don‟t sing very well.1. F2. F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank Y ou for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesT ony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can Y ou Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Y eah, it is, but what‟s the big deal?T ony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That‟s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you.T ony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her.

I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Y eah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. 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. Y ou hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on 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 actor walked 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! “Ahhhhhh! Y ou damned fool!”he cried. “Y ou‟ve ruined my play! Y ou‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “Y ou forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: 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 sad situations 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 who 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. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV.

Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It‟s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie.So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I‟m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: Y ou‟re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Y es. What‟s on your mind?A: I‟ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure.

She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-artspecial effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: Y ou‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well…I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It‟s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it‟s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.B: Y ou‟re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It‟s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Y eah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was that strong.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: Y eah, I liked him too. He‟s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Y eah, I liked her too. She‟s adorable!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 was 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, pr 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, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 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‟s 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 BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHA T THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t W ANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry‟s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I‟d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It‟s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There‟re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What‟s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent.

When you get to the part where I‟m expected to promise to …love, respect and obey her,‟…giving up all others,‟ and …be true to her forever,‟ I‟d be happy if you‟d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom‟s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Y es, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FTask 3: Long Distance FriendshipsAmerican 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 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 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。

Lead-in (15 minutes)Ask Ss to work in pairs discussing the following questions and then share their answers with the whole class.1. Do you think marriages based on love are more successful than arranged marriages? Useful expressions: witness, tragic events, arise, go to extremes, survive, go out on dates, divorce rate, drawbacks, in conformity with, etc.2. Do you think a girl should marry someone who is much older or younger than she is? Useful expressions: incompatible, physically, spiritually, differ, a wide age gap, perfect matches, socially acceptable, prejudice, follow nature, spouse, etc.3. Do you think a girl should share the expenses or let the boy pay the bill?Possible answer: In the past, the normal pattern was that men worked, while women did not. Thus, it was natural for men to pay. Things have changed. After the fou nding of the People’s Republic of China, many females, if not all, went out to work. The women’s liberation movement in the United States in the 1960s also achieved a certain level of equality between men and women. So, it is natural that some girls no longer want men to pick up the check. Instead, they prefer to share or “go Dutch” to show that they are equal to males.4. What do you know about wedding ceremonies in China?Possible answer: Wedding ceremonies vary from family to family, but a typical Chinese wedding is an elaborate affair. Many Chinese believe that marriage is a major event in life, and theychoose to spend a lot of money to celebrate it. Usually, the couple invites a large number of guests, who are seated at ten or more dining tables. The bride and the groom toast each other and the guests cheer. In the past the food itself was the main part of the wedding ceremony and some hungry guests made pigs of themselves. But with economic development, people’s living standards have improved a great deal. Food is no longer so important. Now the essential element is a happy atmosphere. The parents of the couple may give speeches to express thanks to each other for bringing up such a nice couple. Also, they wish the couple would love each other for life. The groom and the bride may also thank their parents. After the feast, guests may visit the couple’s new apartment, where they tend to make a lot of noise to increase the jubilant atmosphere.Ⅳ.Listening (30 minutes)1. Listening skills (ident ify ing people’s professions)1) Ask Ss to listen to the dialogs carefully and choose the best answer to each questions they hear.Key: ①B②C③D5④A5⑤A2) Write down some other professions and ask the students to tell the equivalence in Chinese.2. Listening In (Tasks 1-3)Task 1: Don’t be a chicken!1) Explain the words and the culture related to dialog.2) Ask Ss to listen to the dialog and then fill in the blanks with the information they hear. Key: ①go out ②flaming red③hasa crush on ④a chicken ⑤likes = 6 \* G B3 ⑥the guts = 7 \* GB3⑦turn him down = 8 \* GB3 ⑧know = 9 \* GB3 ⑨keeping everything to himself= 10 \* GB3 ⑩how to tell herTask 2: Wedding Vows1) Explain the words and the culture.2) Ask Ss to listen to the passage and then mark the statements T or F.Key for reference: ①F ②F ③T ④T ⑤F3) Listen to the passage again and answer the question.Possible answer: Because the bride made him an offer much better than 100 dollars.Task 3: An American Wedding1) Explain the words and the culture.2) Ask Ss to listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each questions they hear. Key: ①A②B③C④D3) Listen to the passage again and arrange the following events in the order they happened.Key: ①③= 7 \* GB3 ⑦= 5 \* GB3 ⑤④②= 6 \* GB3 ⑥Ⅴ. Speaking (45 minutes)1. Speaking Out: Comforting people; Expressing worries; conceding a point(Models1-3)1) Explain the words and the culture.2) Ask Ss to listen to the model dialogs one by one and pay attention to the underlined parts. (The models present some expressions used for Comforting people, expressing worries and conceding a point. The underlined parts are either such functional expressions or the expressions that help to form the framework of the models.)3) For the part “Now Your Turn” after each model, divide the class into pairs to do the exercises and then ask them to role-play the dialogs. Walk around the class and give help as needed. Encourage Ss to use their names to act out their parts.Teaching tips:1) When students listen to the dialog for the first time, they may have difficulty understanding the words missing from the blanks. In this case, they can refer to the first phrase of sentence in each box of useful expressions. They may or may not fill in the blanks.2) When the dialog is played the second time, students repeat it one sentence at a time, thus becoming more confident with the expressions. It will be more challenging if students repeat the sentences with some expressions missing, but this may help them remember the expressions better. Then they can role-play the dialog in pairs.3) Here are more tips on using this type of mechanical exercise:You can write down the missing words on the blackboard or the screen in a multimedia room. Then have the students go through these steps.①They listen to the dia log and repeat it sentence by sentence.②You erase part of the underlined expressions, and students repeat after the recording.③You erase all underlined expressions, and students, without listening to the tape, read out the whole dialog by supplying the missing words on their own.④After they are familiar with the underlined expressions, they can look at the boxes of alternative expressions.= 5 \* GB3 ⑤They can work in pairs to role-play the dialog, using expressions they have learned. As for other parts of the dialog, they can use or change them as they like.(4) The speaking exercises in this book have been organized along this line: from controlledexercises to semi-controlled exercises, and finally to free discussion. Although this arrangement sounds reasonable theoretically, many Chinese university students prefer to air their views freely rather than follow mechanical drills. If this is the case with your students, you might as well start with the following questions and give your students the opportunity to talk freely. Then introduce them to the sample dialogs, which contain many idiomatic expressions.2. Let’s Talk1) Ask Ss to listen to the passage and complete the table with the information they hear.2) Listen to the passage again and try to retell the main ideas, referring to the above table. Possible retelling for the teacher’s reference:Dating is popular in America, and it is necessary for us to note the various forms of dating. Casual dating often starts even in the early teens. Late teens may develop a steady relationship called steady dating. It is interesting to see that younger Americans often have more than one partner. They may go to a dance with one partner, to a football match with another, and to a party with a third. Another form of dating is called double dating, which means two couples go out together. In the case of group dating, large groups of young men and girls go out together. When young people go out together for a long time, it indicates their intention to get married. Adults also date each other. They may ski together or dine together. Generally speaking, the American dating system is quite casual. Those who hardly know each other may go out together. Strangely, they may even have a “blind date”. In other words, those who ha ve never met before go out on dates.3) Divide the class into groups and discuss “Is the American casual dating system suitable for Chinese young people?” Walk around the class and give help as needed.Suggested points for discussion:l Examples in the passage show the American dating system is quite casual.l Is the American dating system completely or partially suitable for Chinese young people? Or is it completely unsuitable?l What may young and old people in China think about the American causal dating?l Will the American dating system become suitable for Chinese young people in the future?4) Ask volunteer groups to present their discussion in front of the class.Ⅵ.Assignment: Further Listening and Speaking (P43-45)Unit 4 Beware of ads!Ⅰ.

Let’s Talk1) Ask Ss to listen to the passage and retell its main contents.2) DiscussionIn many western countries, laws and regulations prohibit employment discrimination basing on race, age, gender or disability. But well-educated young people complain it is difficult to get a job in the government or big companies unless you are a 70-year-old black woman in a wheelchair. In China we can se e many job ads seeking only young people under 35 or younger. What’s your opinion of the situation in China?Suggested points for discussion:- Describe job ads in China. Give examples if you can.- What are the possible reasons for such ads?- Is it necessary to conform to the international standards?- Suggest possible anti-discriminatory rules, e.g. some jobsare open to young people only, while others open to both old and young.Unit 5 Does your best friend have four legs?Ⅰ. Teaching Plan (2 periods)1st period: Lead-in; Listening (Pair discussions about pets; Listening practice)2nd period: Speaking (Oral English practice)Ⅱ. Teaching ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. identify special quantities;2. give short responses; praising; making recommendations;3. understand and talk about pets;4. conduct a series of listening and speaking activities related to the theme of the unit.Ⅲ. Lead-in (15 minutes)Ask Ss to work in pairs discussing the following questions and then share their answers with the whole class.1. Why do people have pets?Useful expressions: company, security, in fashion, love, pity2. Which do you think are better pets, dogs or cats? Why?Possible answer: Most people prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are. Also, dogs are more intelligent than cats. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master.How ever, I wouldn’t go as far as to claim that cats are worthless. Thanks to their soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, they are often ladies’ favorites.3. Is it cruel to keep pets inside an apartment all daya? Explain why?Possible answer: It’s ha rd to arrive at a conclusion on thisquestion. It is obvious that if a pet like a cat is kept in the apartment without much chance of going out, it looks sad and inactive.。

M: What effect has the booming economy had on interest rates for loans?W: The interest rates have skyrocketed!Q: What does the woman mean?III. Listening InTask 1:Put the cat out!A couple was going out for the evening to celebrate the wife’s birthday. While they were getting ready, the husband put the cat out. The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of their home, the cat ran back into the house. Not wanting their cat to have free run of the house while they were out, the husband went back upstairs to chase the cat out. The wife, not waiting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver, “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.” A few minutes later, the husband got into the car, and said, “Sorry it took it so long. The stupid old thing was hiding under the bed, and I had to poke her with a stick to get her to come out!”Task 2:Dogs have lived with human beings for at least 14,000 years. They are intelligent and friendly, and can serve people in many ways.Dogs are sometimes referred to as（被指为；被认为是；把……当作）"man's best friend" because they are usually playful, friendly and they can listen to and understand humans. Since they appear to enjoy a relationship with humans, dogs are often kept as pets.Dogs can perform important activities for humans. For example, there are guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs and guide dogs for the blind. There are also dogs that are trained to smell for diseases in the human body, or to find bombs or illegal drugs. These dogs, called "sniffer dogs", sometimes assist the police at airports or in other areas. Dogs have even been sent by Russians into outer space, a few years before the first human being. Dogs are intelligent. They can learn by imitating human behavior. In one study, puppies were presented with abox and shown that when the trainer pressed a lever, a ball would roll out of it for them to play with. The pups were then allowed to interact with the box. Most of the puppies finally touched the lever to get the ball. It is probably due to their high IQ that dogs can understand instructions and communicate with humans successfully.Task 3:Around the world, habitats are being destroyed at an alarming rate, putting many wildlife species in danger of extinction. Threatened and endangered animals and plants are found in many places throughout the globe—you may even find some in your own backyard. To protect endangered animals and plants, think both globally and locally. There are many things you can do to contribute to their protection. To begin with, you can find out what animals living near you are on the endangered species list. Spend some time learning about these animals and their habitats.You can also contribute to nature reserves and other wilderness areas. Habitat preservation is one of the best ways to help protect endangered animals. Donate money or volunteer your time helping the nature reserve preserve habitat. Or, do both.Another thing you can do is buy environmentally friendly products. Choose non-toxic cleaners that won't pollute streams, rivers or oceans. Avoid any companies that, when manufacturing products, endanger animals. Buy foods and goods that are made from materials that do not harm endangered animals or their habitats. For example, look for organic chocolate, coffee or cotton clothing that is grown without cutting down rainforests. Moreover, you can help create or restore habitats for endangered animals. You can volunteer to help with projects worldwide designed to re-establish habitat. In your own backyard, for example, plant a butterfly garden.Individual effort is not enough. You need to join a local, national or global conservation organization. Through these organizations, you can perhaps "adopt" an animal or plant a tree. The options are endless. All you need to do is a little exploring.IV. Speaking OutModel 1 The dog will be company for her.John: Se-Jin, come shopping with me. I’m buying a present for my mother.Se-Jin: What are you getting her?John: I’ve got just the perfect idea. A dog.Se-Jin: A dog? Would she like that?John: She’ll love it. My dad works long hours each day, and I think with me away at school, she is a bit lonely. And I’ll just get a small one, a Pekinese.Se-Jin: Good idea! The dog will be company for her.Model 2 Where to walk dogs?Bob: There’s some talk of a businessman building a dog park in Shanghai.Laura: Really, what on earth for?Bob: Apparently there is a law against having dogs on the streets.Laura: Does it mean that the dogs have to stay inside apartments at all times?Bob: It sounds pretty cruel, doesn’t it? Maybe the park is a good idea.Laura: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs on the streets.Bob: But in many large cities where dogs can be walked, the streets are a mess. I heard Paris is the worst.Laura:Couldn’t people just clean up after their dogs?Bob:Would they?Model 3 What does having a few fish do for you?Philip: Wow! I see you’ve bought an aquarium. Nice!Peter: You should get one too. I highly recommend it.Philip: Why? What does having a few fish do for you?Peter: I find it relaxing just to sit down and watch tropical fish at the end of a tiring day.Philip: I can understand. I like to take it easy after work , too.Peter: There’s more than that. They’re really fascinating. They give you hours of entertainment, believe me. Philip: Perhaps I should give it a try.Peter: OK, I can lend you a couple of good reference books.Philip: Great! Any other tips on getting started?V. Let’s TalkAn Intelligent DogA black dog walked into a butcher’s shop with a five-dollar bill in his mouth. He spent several minutes looking at the meat on display. He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb chops and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher, thinking the dog wouldn’t know the difference, picked out the worst chops. The dog barked angrily and continued to bark until the butcher selected the finest chops. After the butcher took the money from the dog’s mouth, the dog picked up the chops and left the shop.The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He closed up shop and followed the dog to see where it went. The dog entered an apartment house, climbed to the third floor, and began to scratch on the door. With that, the door opened and an angry man started yelling at the dog. As he did so, the butcher stepped forward to ask the man to stop. “What are you doing?” That’s the smartest animal I’ve ever seen! Surely it doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment.” The butcher then went on to explain how the dog had bought the best lamb chops in the shop. The man looked at the butcher from the corner of his eye and said, “I don’t think he’s so intelligent. You see, this is third time this week he’s forgotten his key.”VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: A Birthday PresentMary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday gift?David: Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.Mary: What did she call it?David: She’s calling it “Brian”, after a friend of hers.Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners.David: I’ve heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him before he would have an attack.Mary: Really? I wonder how they can do that1David: It ahs something to do with the dog’s sense of smell. It’s very keen.Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chicken?Task 2: A Sudden Change in the Parrot’s AttitudeA young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird's mouth was rude. John tried every method to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird scream and kick. Then suddenly there was silence. Not a sound for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior."John was greatly surprised at the bird's change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask why you put the chickens there and what they did wrong?"Task 3: Dogs aren’t allowed here!Manager: I'm sorry, miss, but dogs aren't allowed in this theater.Mary: But I have a ticket for him.Manager: I'm very sorry, but animals aren't permitted.Mary: You don't understand. This is a special case. My dog is so well-trained and so intelligent that he's almost human.Manager: I see that you have an exceptional animal, but...Mary: I promise you that if there is any problem, we'll leave the theater immediately. I promise you that this dog isn't like any other dog you've ever seen.Manager: Well... All right. I'll let you go in, since the theater is almost empty tonight. But your dog will have to behave himself, or you will have to leave.Mary: Thank you very much.A Funeral for a Dead FishNancy: Westerners often take pets as their friends, even their family members.
