新视野大学英语第三版3视听说教程长对话听力脚本材料及翻译1单元W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing.谢谢你和我见面，珀尔医生。

我需要你放弃你的课，文学和写作。

M: It\'s only the second week of class, Stacey, why are you giving up so quickly We\'ve only written one essay so far, and you won\'t get your grade back until next Wednesday!男：这只是上课的第二个星期，斯泰西，你为什么这么快就放弃了？到目前为止，我们只写了一篇文章，直到下星期三你才会恢复你的分数.！W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don\'t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class!我知道，先生。

但作为三分之一年工程专业的学生，我不想在写作课上成绩不好而降低我的平均分数.！M: OK ... What\'s worrying you男：好的…什么让你担心？W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a writing course ... I don\'t know. I\'ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all – a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements. 女：我花了两个星期读了很高的期望，然后花了我10个小时写了这篇长达三页的文章.。

5557新标准大学英语视听说教程第三册听力材料文本Unit 1Listening inPassage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things havehad a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much moreopen-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and itchanged the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up formy beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and,well…just the generosity of ordinary people. Itraveled a lot around Asia and you know, I foundthat in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodiaand Laos, people share whatever little they have,and they possess a real joy for life. It’s probablymade me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves andthe world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in andI found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming yourpersonality?○Sp eaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in ahouse together. Each week some one was voted offby the audience. I got down to the final three! Isuppose being on the show and seeing how theother contestants behaved made me realize howselfish and spiteful some people can be just to getwhat they want. I also realized it’s best to just beyourself in life. If you pretend to be someonedifferent people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a verygreat impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d justarrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday.When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter fora group of volunteer doctors. It was an incrediblydifficult time but you know, even in the middle ofsuch a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amountof genuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at ManchesterUniversity. She gives advice to school students onchoosing the right subject to study at university. Joan,welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changingdecision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself〞what do you mean? Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits〔特质〕and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s importantto look into this carefully. I recommend you check notonly which academic subjects will help you get into aparticular area of work, but also look carefully at whatuniversities offer. Each university has its strengths so tryto choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Findout what links the department has to related industries andleading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James!How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thin ks it’s better to go to a highly respecteduniversity, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that hasmore of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see yourfuture. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates arepicked from the top universities around the world to jointhe leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyerthen this is the route that might be for you. But if you arelooking for a more mainstream 〔主流〕career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…andlook at which universities have the best levels of graduaterecruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for. James: I s ee! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…UNIT3Listening in conversation 1Lily: So what was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea? Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be going to see Nanta. Lily：What on earth is Nanta?Hugh：It's this amazing live show-part theater-part dance-part music.Lily: Sounds really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant? Hugh: I think it's the energy of the performers. Also it has a unique concept. It's a mixture of traditional Koreanmusic, percussion and drums, into a western styleperformanceLily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever been performed in the West?Hugh: Yeah, it's been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30 countries since the show began in 1997.It's a non-verbalperformance so there are no language barriers. That'swhat's made it an international success.Lily: What else makes it so special then?Hugh: Well...the other thing is that all the action takes place in the kitchen. You see these four chefs preparing the foodfor a wedding reception. The performers use knives,dustbin lids and various other kitchen utensils to create ahypnotic soundtrack. The food literally flies everywhere!It's hilarious.Lily: That sounds quite funny I must admit. Is there an actual story though?Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs have to prepare the meal by 6 o'clock and they also have to give themanager's nephew cooking lessons too, which adds tothe fun. There’s loads of audience participation anddespite there being no language involved you getcompletely engrossed. It's really quite wacky!Lily: And what about the audience? I suppose they start throwing food around…?Hugh: Not quite! But they are totally involved in what's going on-everyone loves it. It's a really great family show. Infact it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. Jim, myfriend, says he takes all his visitors. He's seen it abouteight times and still loves it.Lily: I bet it's popular with tourists then.Hugh: Well apparently over a million foreign tourists in (South)Korea have seen the show and it's had a run onBroadway too. It first got popular after they appeared atthe Edinburgh Festival. Now they are planning to tourmore cities in Asia where (South) Korean popular cultureis becoming incredibly trendy.Lily：By the way what does“Nanta〞mean?Hugh：It means random drumming in Korean. The English name for the show is Cookin’, which gives you a clearer ideaof what it's all about.Lily：You've got me interested now. I'll have to check it out on the internet.Listening inConversation 2Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist art tour guide.Kathy-can you tell us what trends you've noticed inrecent years?Kathy: Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is a huge increase in visitors to galleries-and a growinginterest in modern art in general.Interviewer: What do you think the reason is for that?Kathy: Well, there are several reasons, I think. The most important ones are firstly, that some newcontemporary art galleries have opened which havehad a lot of publicity, and secondly the youngergeneration feel more comfortable with modern artso the kind of people visiting galleries is changing.Finally, the new generation of galleries havebecome destinations in themselves...they tend to behoused in amazing buildings.Interviewer: So which are the most popular new galleries? Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in London has had over 30 million visitors since it opened in 2000.The annualaverage is now over 4.5 million. The Museum ofModern Art, or MoMA in New York is an oldergallery, it was founded in 1929 but has beenrecently reno vated and expanded. This work wasfinished in 2006 and it had over 2.5 million visitorsin the first year after reopening. Another verysuccessful new gallery is the Guggenheim in Bilbaoin Spain. It opened in 1997 and now gets about amillion visitors a year.Interviewer: Those are pretty impressive figures. Maybe the fact that the Tate Modern is free to visit might havesomething to do with it?Kathy: It's true that entrance to the permanent collection is free but the numbers of people visiting thetemporary exhibition are also high-and the entrancefee is usually about ten pounds.Interviewer: Do you have to pay to get into the other galleries you mentioned?Kathy: Oh yes. You do. Admission to MoMA is 20 US dollars and the Guggenheim in Bilbao costs eighteuros.Interviewer: Do people mind paying, do you think?Kathy: No, I don't think they do mind. Most people feel the fees are reasonabl e considering the outstandingcollections of priceless works of art that they get tosee.Interviewer: You mentioned that the buildings that art galleries are in can be an attraction themselves these days... Kathy: Well, yes, the Guggenheim has literally revitalized the whole city and put Bilbao on the tourist map.It's got a futuristic, curvy metallic structure andpeople love it. The Tate Modern has helpedredevelop an old industrial area beside the RiverThames. The gallery itself is actually inside a huge ,old, brick power station. And MoMA is interestingas it's in downtown New York.Interviewer: And who visits these galleries? What's the profile of the average art lover?Kathy: Well, in the past museums and galleries were seen as appealing to the older generation. But in fact, 48percent of visitors to the Tate Modern are under35...UNIT5Listening in 1Today we’ll focus on two aspects of group behaviour.Firstly,how groups develop,and secondly,the roles individuals play within a group.It’s widely acknowledged that the performance of effective groups is often greater than the sum of the individuals in the group.This is due to what we call synergy-in other words,the extra energy and effevtiveness that people create when they work together.Early research in this field carried out in the 1930s by Elton Mayo discovered something that he called the “Hawthorne effect〞.The idea is that when individual know they are part of a study,their productivity automatically increases regardless of other factors,such as how much time or money they are given,for example.The research suggests that things like personal identity,s elf-esteem and the social context in which a group is working are really very important factors in improving the performance of individuals.If we move on to look at the nature of groups more closely,we find that groups have natural phasese that can help us understand their effectiveness.You have probably all had experience of working with other people in a group that,at firsl,wasn,t very productive.This phenomenon was studied by Tuckman in the 1960s,and he created a model to describe the stages of a group.The first stage is known as〞Forming〞which is when individual members get to know each other.This is followed by〞Storming〞when individual start to share their ideas and creative energy.The third phase is〞Norming〞where a group identity begins to form.The final stage is〞Performing〞when individuals within the group work together.And it is at this stage that the group achieves results.Understanding these phases can help us ensure that members of a group work together to overcome early loner.The〞Resource investigator〞is the group member who is always curious and explores new ideas and the〞Monitorevaluator〞is calm and serous and makes good,balanced decisions.The〞Team worker〞in contrast is a socially orientated and sensitive member of the team who is able to encourage a team spirit.And the〞Comleter-finisher〞is a conscientious perfectionist who follows through on the details and ties up and loose ends.To be effective,a team needs to have a variety of members who can fulfill all these different roles.Listening in 2Today I'm reporting from Phuket in Southern Thailand.Parts of the island were devastated by the tsunami in 2004,and over 250 people lost their lives here. I've come back to see how one community has recovered.Here in the village of The Chat Chai,the rebuilding of the destroyed homes has been led by the international organazition Habitat for Humanity.About a year after the tsunami occurred,volunteers began building 36 new homes for local families.One villager,Somwang,is certainly very happy with the results.He used to live in a small hut on his two square metre plot of land near the sea.The local community wanted him to have a bigger home and despite the small size of his plot of land,t hey built him a three-storey house,which is now the tallest in the village. A happy ending to such a horrific tragedy.The rebuilding here has also had a positive effect on the local economy,because the earth bricks that were used to build the homes were produced in Khao Lak,another tsunami hit island——all part of a post-tsunami livelihood development project.Talking to people here,I've discovered that the project not only provided them with much needed shelter,but also the process has helped rebuild a spirit of community amongst them.A host of foreign as well as local volunteers joined together to work in rebuilding the villagers' homes and lives,and even an American TV celebrity volunteered.The project has also been visited by former US president Jimmy Carter,who is an active supporter of Habitat for Humanity.He and his wife offer one week of their time every year to volunteer on construction projects around the world.It's certainly encouraging to see the strength of the human spirit and generosity of people who help others in times of need. Habitat for Humanity is continuing their work in the south of Thailand,helping poor local families and communities to improve their lives.Their "Save&Bulid" scheme encourages families to save 30 per cent of the cost of building or rebuilding their home.The charity then lends the family the rest of the money they need,and helps in the building of their new home.It's then paid for in monthly repayments of under ＄30,which supports those who want to build a better life for themselves.This is Marianne Harper reporting from Southern Thailand...Uint 9Listening inPart 1OK,so a little test .Coca-Cola...Nike...ferrari.Think!What image did you get as I said these very famous brandnames?Wait a moment.There’s no real need to answer,is there,because we know,more or less,don’t we?Coca-Cola—that delicious fizzy drink,ice cold,on a summer’s day. Nike, running shoes for strong,beautiful bodies.Ferrari—an attractive,powerful car for attractive,powerful people.The fact, the names, the brand names say it all.what’s in a brandname?Ideally,everything!Everything the manufacturer wants you to think of when you hear the name.that’s certainly what both customers’exeprience and research tells us.it’s the reasons why manufacturers attach such importance to choosing the right name for their products.Let’s have a look at some of the qualities a good brand name should have.Firstly ,it should be simple and easy to remember.Imagine if Coca-Cola had been namd “Cocafantaslicola〞.It’s just too long!Or,take other name—starbucks,the name of a famous coffee shop.now,that’s an easy name to remember,starbucks.Second point,the brand name should bedifferent,unique,something you can’t confuse with anything else.Like Coca-Cola.Or—let’s take a nother famous brand name—Microsoft.It combines two words,micro,meaning very small,and the word soft.Two words that together make a unique name—Microsoft.Thirdly,if the word is a real word,it should be strong,positive associations.Take the name Alfa Romeo,Alfa is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and has the association of the best or the stronges t.Romeo is the name of the most romantic lovers of all in a famous Shakespeare play.AlfaRomeo—strong,romantic.The words have great association,don’t they?Forth point,the sound of the name is very important.take Ferrari.The word has a long vowel sound—“aaari〞—that makes it sound luxurious.So Ferrari must be a luxuriouscar.How about Coca-Cola?It’s got a sharp,fizzy sound,just like the drink.So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that. Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie〞is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-I met someone who called their baby 〞Elsie〞-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare. Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t want her to have to〞. So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Eastern n ame and means “loved one〞in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there.And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi〞,which means “loved one〞Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they? Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t? Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did! Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha!

Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me?

Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believe that the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

It made me much moreopen-minded. I met so many different types ofpeople there with weird and wonderful ideas and itchanged the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person. Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for mybeliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…justthe generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lotaround Asia and you know, I found that in some ofthe poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and theypossess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me aless selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and theworld?Speaker 2: Definitely.

Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I supposebeing on the show and seeing how the othercontestants behaved made me realize how selfish andspiteful some people can be just to get what theywant. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself inlife. If you pretend to be someone different peoplewill eventually see through the lies.Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life? Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a verygreat impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d justarrived in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday.When I heard the news I knew I had to help-youcouldn’t not. I ended up acting as an interpreter fora group of volunteer doctors. It was an incrediblydifficult time but you know, even in the middle ofsuch a horrific tragedy there is still a huge amount ofgenuine human kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing!

Joan, welcome to the show. Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changingdecision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean? Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits（特质）and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at?Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others ina team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds ofquestions will help you discover more about yourself.Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s importantto look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particulararea of work, but also look carefully at what universitiesoffer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose onethat is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companiesin it.Tony: Good point.

So—all these things are what you should be looking for when choosing a brand name—somethingsimple,memorable,unique,with positive association and a great sound.whew!It’s not easy,is it,to choose a name that does all those things?But the very best brand names do exactly that.Part 2Interviewer: Clare, tell me about the names in your family. You say some of them have quite an interesting history.Clare: Yes, they do. Well, ok, I’ll begin with my own name. My maiden name was Habibis, but I’m married and my name’s Clare Thompson.Interviewer: Thompson.Clare: Yes. I don’t know much about the names or my husband’s side of the family, so I’ll talk about my own instead…OK, so…my full name’s Clare Elsie Thompson. “Elsie” is my middle name , which used to be a very old-fashioned name. in fact, it’s just come back into fashion-Imet someone who called their baby ”Elsie”-but when I was younger it was the kind of name that made people laugh and I hated it.. Anyway, my parents wanted to name me after my grandmother, whose name was Elsie Clare, so their first idea was to call me Elsie Clare.Interviewer: Elsie Clare!Clare: Yes, but when they told my grandmother, she was horrified, and said, “you can’t do that to the child, I’ve had to put up with Elsie all my life, I don’t want her to have to” . So they called me Clare Elsie instead.Interviewer: Sounds better!Clare: Yes…My father’s surname is Habibis . My mum’s English but he was Greek, so that was the name I grew up with. But Habibis isn’t a Greek name. It’s a Middle Eastern n ame and means “loved one” in Arabic.Interviewer: Really?Clare: Yes, and the reason for the surname, we discovered, is that my great-grandfather on my father’s side lived in Lebanon—there was a well-established Greek community there. And my great-grandfather was a very sociable, friendly kind of person and everyone liked him a lot so they gave him the name, “Habibi”,which means “loved one”Interviewer: Ah, that’s lovely!Clare: Yes, I do like that story. But my father had a great first name too. He was called Homer, after the Ancient Greek poet. Interviewer: The English would see that as a very unusual name, but I suppose the Greeks wouldn’t, would they?Clare: No, I don’t think so. But one of his brothers was called Mitton.Interviewer: Mitton , the 17th century English poe t?Clare: Yes. And you wouldn’t think that a Greek family would call their son after an English poet, would you? But they did!Unit 10Inside viewConversation 1Andy: So today, we're meant to be meeting a woman who does walking tours aroundmysterious London.Janet: What's that about?Joe: Aha! That's what we're going to find out. Apparently, she takes visitors round the mysterious sights of London. Anyway, ask her yourself!Janet: Why me?Andy: We were going to ask you, Janet, if you like to do the interview？Janet: Me? But I don't know anything about London!Andy: Which makes you a perfect person to ask some real questions.Janet: I don't believe it.Joe: And if you're any good, we'll upload your interview next week. Janet: I'm not sure what to say .It's great but are you absolutely sure you think I'm OK for this?Joe: Too late, here she comes. Hi, this is Janet……Janet: Emma, tell us about some of the legendary characters in London.Emma: Well, legendary characters might be complete myths or they may have actually existed. For example, most people believethat the famous detective Sherlock Holmes must have existed. But in fact, we know he can't have existed.Janet: And what about Guy Fawkes?Emma: Yes, Guy Fawkes did actually exist and he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But we celebrate him every year on Guy Fawkes Night every 5th of November, and in fact, he's considered to be one of the most popular people in British history!Janet: And I've heard something about Dick Whittington and his cat?。

What commercial?Nick:I told you about that, didn’t I? They wanted me to be in a c ommercial.Video 2 transcript (1’48’’)Talia:Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial.

And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick:Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie:Uh, yeah, that’s right.

Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsementTalia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took overfrom there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him.Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable!

I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say somyself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had tobe edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care ofthat.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this.Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure!

Nick: That depends.Tony: Depends on what?Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview. Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.Amy: Of course he does.Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job.Ni ck: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the interview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.Unit 12Script 1Announcer on TV: Glitter… the perfect toothpaste for the perfect smile.Jackie on TV: Remember, all that glitters is not gold.Nick: Patty, could you turn the volume down a little?Patty: Oh, sure, Nick. It seems like yesterday when you were asking me to turn up the volume.Nick: Huh?Patty: You member! The day when you recognizedJackie Bishop on TV.Nick: Oh, yeah, that! In a way it does seem like just yesterday. But a lot has happened since then.Patty: Oh, I know. Like, now you can see Jackie Bishop on TV all the time!Nick: Yup, in that ridiculous toothpaste commercial. Well, I guess things have worked out for her.Patty: Seems so. And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right?

That reporter who broke the story.What’s her name again? Talia something?Nick: Talia Santos. Yeah, I heard she’s been working really hard. I haven’t had a chance to see her much lately.

Anyway, she said they want you to start right away.Talia: True. But Nick, I…Nick: Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.Talia: OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?Nick: What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.Talia: Good. Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...

I really enjoy, sort of, the team aspect of sport. Er, particularly I think I’d like to get into hockey.W1: I’d quite like to learn how to play tennis properly.

Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see.

It was dried food and they added water to it.I: Right.W: But I don’t think food pills wil l replace normal food.I: Right. Why’s that? For health reasons or social reasons?W: Well, cooking and eating together is an important part of family life and it always will be. You sit down together at a table and you eat and talk. It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pills?W: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about …W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an example?W: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that ta stes different for different people …W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade”or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it work?W: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different areas of science …ViewingScriptsB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.

Sometimes it’s difficult to find time to exercise, but I play football after work on a Monday, and I play tennis at the weekend, and I feel so much better. If I don’t play one week, I feel terrible. So, yes, doing sport makes you feel really good. You feel much better, and more relaxed.A: How much exercise do you do in a week?C: In a week, well I probably do about two or three hours of exercise, maybe more.

Yeah, four hours, that’s OK.A: Do you have a sporting hero?D: Oh yes, Pelé. He’s a hero, not just for me, but probably for all Brazilians. I think he is one of the greatest football players ever. He was such a good athlete, and he had so much talent. He was “King of Football”, and scored more goals for Brazil than anyone else. And he was born very poor. You know he didn’t have money for a football so he used to practice kicking a grapefruit, or a sock stuffed with paper.A: How much do you walk a day?E: Oh my goodness. Well, I suppose. I don’t walk very much actually. I … um … I drive, the car everywhere. That’s terrible, isn’t it? Um.

Passage 1ScriptsHappiness increases when we experience more positive emotions throughout the day.Fredrickson, a leader in the field of psychology, identifies 10 positive emotions, including joy, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, love and so on. How often we experience these positive emotions compared to negative emotions in a day affects not only our mood, but also our physical health. She has discovered that those who have a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative emotions on a daily basis are happier and healthier.Sadly, most people, even those who consider themselves positive people, are way below that ratio. The good news is you can learn to increase your ratio of being positive, which leads to greater happiness, health and success.Research shows that by increasing positive emotions, we become more creative, perform better at tasks, and have better relationships. The most exciting finding is that we now have proof that self-generated positive emotions can improve our physical health.Nevertheless, we don’t want to get rid of all negative feelings. Negative emotions are proper and helpful sometimes. It’s appropriate to feel sadabout the loss of a loved one. Anger often pushes us into action to improve a situation or correct a mistake. However, if you find yourself waiting impatiently when the driver in front of you doesn’t instantly notice the light turns green, or if you find yourself scolding your kids for laughing too loud while you are on the phone, youare having negative feelings in your daily life too often. Then you should step back and analyze those feelings, and turn them around.Q1: What is the ratio of positive to negative emotions that can make a person happier?Q2: What is the most exciting finding about increasing positive emotions?Q3: What does the speaker say about negative feelings?Q4: What is the main idea of the passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are many factors that affect a person’s sleep.

Eating an apple a day is better for you than eating a kilo of spinach one day a week.I: I see. So what you’re saying is …I: There’s been a lot of talk about food pills.W: Yes.I: Are they healthier than other types of food Could they be the food of the futureW: Well, in the past astronauts ate a type of food pill when they were in space. It was dried food and they added water to it.W: But I don’t think food pills will replac e normal food.I: Right.

It’s a very old tradition, and eating pills isn’tthe same.I: Hmm, so we won’t eat only food pillsW: Food pills might become more popular, but no, we won’t eat only food pills in the future.I: Well, that’s interesting because I was reading about …W: In the future we may have special food that can change its flavor.I: Can you give an exampleW: For example, imagine you like chocolate ice cream, but your friend likes strawberry. You eat the same ice cream but it will taste different for both of you.I: The same food that tastes different for different people …W: You’ll think it’s chocolate ice cream and your friend will say it’s strawberry. It might happen with drinks, too. You take a bottle of liquid out of the fridge. You press the button which says “coffee” or “lemonade” or “hot chocolate”. You put the bottle in the microwave and the liquid becomes the drink that you choose.I: So it starts off as the same food or drink, but then we change its flavor by pushing a button. W: That’s right. Just by pushing a button.I: So how does it workW: Well, this is possible because of nanotechnology. The technology might not replace normal drinks and food, but it may become common in the future.I: And nanotechnology is something that’s used in different areas of science …ViewingB = Ronnie Barker;C = Ronnie CorbettB: I say, that was, that was really jolly good that was.
