Since the company was composed entirely of men over 65, there was doubt that they would be of any assistance.But the farmer called the company anyway because the fire proved to be more than the small town fire department could handle, and there was no other help available2. The truck drove straight toward the fire and, instead of stopping in front of the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames.3. After an hour of intense fighting, they had extinguished the fire.4. He presented the volunteer fire company with a check for $10,000.5. The captain said, "The first thing we're going to do is to get the brakes fixed on that stupid fire truck."

Could you tell us the secrets of your successful career? Baxter: Just as the golden rule of real estate is "location, location, location", the golden rule of work is "relationships, relationships, relationships". Unfortunately, many workers focus so hard on the job at hand that they never develop useful relationships with people in other parts of their organization. Worse, when they do interact with colleagues in other departments, they may not treat them with respect.Lillian: Could you give me more details?Baxter: Let's take Wendy as an example. She switched jobsseveral months ago in the company. In her first position, as a marketing manager, she frequently found herself in conflict with the financial department over her staff's expenses. Her argument for more funds usually ended in vain. Then in her new job as training administrator, she wanted to launch an on-the-job training project. She needed the financial department to support her request for a budget. How did she convince them this time? Although the financial department's offices were located in another city, Wendy decided to visited them in their offices and try to establish closer relationships. She believed she must first of all understand their mission and their own training needs. Then she found an ally in the company's chief financial officer, who saw how her group could help develop his staff. Thus the two forged a long-term alliance, which led to a training program so successful that it has since been picked up by the company's offices inGermanyandJapan. Winning allies throughout your organization has an additional benefit. These days, it's far too risky to expect your work to speak for itself. Having allies who speak well of you increases your reputation with the top management.Unit 4 let’s tallk 1Ayesha: In the newsroom you have about 16 reporters. The news reporters sit in one part of the room, and you have features on the other side of the room. I'm just going to see Kev, he's my news editor and he's gonna do a brief, basically brief me on a story that's happening later on. When I walk into my newsroom I don't know what to expect. You start at eight but you don't know how long that's gonna go on for. Hello. Kevin: Hi Ayesha. So we're really looking for a featurey sort of piece for tomorrow's paper.Ayesha: FrenchayHospital, which is one of our hospitals inBristol. They're celebrating their 10 years of this head injury unit, and we've been invited up. We're gonna obviously cover and take pictures, and I'm gonna get to speak to people. So he was really giving me guidelines.Kevin: You know when you're doing your interviews, speak to people in some detail about, you know, how they were injured in the first place, but then the treatment they've gone through. OK?Ayesha: Yeah. Excellent! Thank you!Well, I've just started writing up for my next, and just basically from the day. I've got to get something through, I think, by about four. Sometimes I come back and I've got so much going on in my hands. So I'm just trying to, sort of, just work it through. Deadlines are very stressful. But you have to meet them because it's important; it's part of what newspaper journalism is all about. You get used to it by getting the guidance, managing your time, but it's still scary. OK. It's all done. OK. This is theBristolfinal. If I have a look at page 14, there we are, and that's my story. Exciting!Unit 4 VI 3They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say goodbye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. The message read, "Blame your predecessor." So, the new CEO held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.The message read, "Reorganize." The new CEO did it, and the company quickly rebounded.The message said, "Prepare three envelopes." It implied that it was time for Carl to leave and give three similar envelopes to the next CEO.Unit 4 viewing and speaking task 1You don't come into journalism for the money. When you start, you're sort of earning, I think, about 150 to 180 pounds a week, which really isn't very much to live on. But then as you move up, you get more, so you're looking to get14,000 ayear, 15,000,16,000 ayear. And you know you're working really long hours, and it's hard work.OK thanks, bye.Waiting for phone calls and waiting for people to get back to you is really frustrating. Like today I had other things to keep me going and I was doing other things, but you know I've gotthis thing over my head because I know I've got to get this quote and I've got to keep chasing it and then while you're working on other stories whether they're bigger or smaller ones you know. It's very frustrating because you just want to get this done and out of the way, but it just doesn't happen.Journalism is just a, is a great career to go into because (there's) so much you can do. So you can stay in newspapers, you can go into radio, television—there's just so much out there, and I guess at the stage where I am—sort of just starting out, just really looking at what there is and what I will enjoy doing more.In 10 years I think I'd like to be an editor of a section of a national paper either here or abroad, 20 years, launching my own paper.Journalism is just fantastic because you don't know what's happening on a day-to-day basis. You meet so many different people and it just puts you in such a privileged position. And I just love it. I just think it's great.Unit 4TestP1D D A D DP2expensive ,declined ,averaged ,compared ,agency ,floor ,acc ommodation.But the biggest climber of all was Dublin,with the Irish capital jump nineplaces to the tenth among the world’s most expensive office location.Globally,most office locations continued to register declines in occupancycostslastyear,reflectstheweakanduncertainglobaleconomyenvironment.In Euro terms,London is some 17 perce cheaper than last year,but in dolterms it is virtually unchanged.P3D C A D BP4A B D C A D D C C DUnit 5Lead in > Task 1There are no definite answers for the question.

The university‟s Career Office asked me to give a talk on the topic of how to prepare for job interviews. This is probably the most important aspect in securing a job. Here are some tips I believe to be useful.First, do some research are. Once you have this information, make a list of what skills or knowledge you have that would be valuable to them. You cannot sell yourself to them if you don‟t know what it is you are selling.The next thing to consider is your physical appearance. You have to dress right for job interviews. Don‟t wear anything too flashy; being neat and clean is more important than wearing the latest fashion. The aim is to look professional without overdoing it. Also, it is important that you feel comfortable. If you are not comfortable with a tie, it might be best not to wear one, unless the job requires you to dress this way. The last thing you want is to be worried about your appearance during the interview. It will only make you nervous, and you will quickly lose confidence.Mover over, you have to work out what you need to take with you: A copy of your CV, originals and copies of your qualification paper, copies of reference, samples of your work, if applicable, and anything else that they may want to see. Again, make sure everything is well organized and neatly presented. Don‟t take a pile of paperwork that you have to sift through for ten minutes to find something. That will give them the impression that you are disorganized. If you are well prepared, you‟re likely to have good luck.DiscussionSAMPLEA:After listening to the career officer‟s talk, I‟ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you‟re not punctual, they‟ll suspect that you‟ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you‟re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is impo rtant to look confident without being too pushy. It‟s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you‟ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we‟re seeking.A:How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They‟re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they‟ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I‟m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we‟ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you‟re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you‟ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you‟re a good team player.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you…d better get it right firs time. Here‟re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don‟t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package”yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.According to the passage, why should you emphasize the most important pointabout yourself?3.Where does the speaker advise putting the important information in your jobdescription?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?5. Which of the following makes a good title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BTask 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewScriptWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It‟s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it‟s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involvestwo factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it‟s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won‟t be the end of the world if you don‟t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it‟s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It‟s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn‟t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don‟t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you‟d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it‟s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.Task3: An Interview That Upsets the BossScriptJohn was in a terrible accident at work and lost both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a fairly large compensation and decided to invest the money in a small but growing telecom business. After weeks of negotiations, he bought the company. Then he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him.So he set up three job interviewers. The first guy was great. He knew everything the company needed and was very interesting. At the end of the interview, John asked him, ”Do you notice anything different about me?”And the gentleman answered, “Why yes, I couldn‟t help notice you have no ears.” John got very upset and threw him out.The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. He asked her the same question, “Do you notice anything usually about me?” and the she replied, “Well, you have no ears.” Again John got furious and tossed her out.The third and the last interview was the best of all three. It was with a very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart and handsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the firs two put together. John was anxious to employ him, but asked him the same question, “Do you notice anything different about me?”And to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses.”John was amazed, and said, “What an incredibly observant young man! How in the world did you know that?”The young man laughed and replied, “Well, it‟s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”For Reference1.He lost both of his ears.2.Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after hebought it.3.Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4.He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5.He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersScriptThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pairs?The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier‟s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the evening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor the Oscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come. The Irish actor Richard Harris, who was given an award for lifetime achievement, gave a humorous thank-you speech that was the high point of the evening.Another internationally known actor, Jean Reno, also gave an enthusiastic thank-you speech. The French actor received an award for European achievement in world cinema, for his international firm career.Other VIPs from around Europe also attended.

Taste the sweets and bitters of family lifeI.Lead inTask 1:Extended family;DINK family;Nuclear family;Single parent familyII. Basic Listening PracticeKeys: 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DIII. Listening InTask 1:Nuclear family living patternsScript:A nuclear family is typical in highly-industrialized societies.Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type.Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they find jobs and acquire an apartment or home of their own.In the early mid-20th century, the father was typically the sole wage-earner, and the mother was the children's principal caregiver.Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift, that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon.In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need.Increasingly, companies are getting involved in the arrangement of day care. Governments are providing assistance to parents that require day care as well.Keys:(1)typical(2)known(3)Generally(4)find(5)apartment(6)sole(7)principal(8)Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States(9)adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families(10)companies are getting involved in the arrangement of day careTask 2:Fatherhood in AustraliaCan it be true that Australian men spend more time during the week brushing their teeth than they do alone with their children?A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with their children.Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend three hours a week purely looking after their children—a much greater disparity than in other countries like America, Denmark, Italy, and France, where couples divide the childcare more evenly.These findings will probably infuriate those who want to shake off the perhaps unfair image of Australia as a land of old-fashioned male chauvinism.According to the study, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but shy away from the boring housework. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sporting events, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school.In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman's job and a man's hobby. Many people believe that the last 20 years have seen the arrival of the so-called "new man"—the man who is willing to share the housework and childcare.The new man has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids' school plays, and he skips a drink at the bar after work so that he can get home in time to read bedtime story to their kids. This study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia.Indeed, a poll conducted in the U.K. for the think tank the Fatherhood Institute in January indicates that almost 70 percent of British women think that men are as good at raising children as women.That's something for Australian men to ponder while they brush their teeth!

One day he asked me to consider dating.The first time he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria.As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about how my son would actually respond to her.At first, John's affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several months, he warmed up to her.Seeing the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted. So the two of us blended smoothly into the three of us.Thinking back, I believe my remarriage was the right choice.Some single parents are still hesitating about remarriage.

And then, um, I'll say to her, "Stay in your room till you feel better.When you feel better, you come and talk to me about it."Um, so she'll stay in her room for a few minutes and then she'll come back down and she's all, "I'm sorry mum."And then if I've upset Sarah Lucy, I'll apologize if I think I'm in the wrong. And then we'll have a discussion or a debate about it.There's certain aspects about Sarah Lucy's behavior, um, it's learned behavior because children live what they learn, and so there're some traits that she's got and I think, "Oh they're beautiful, they're lovely, I love them." And there're other ones and I think, "Oh they're not so good."For example, her strutting off and slamming the door.But, um, confession: She gets it off me.She gets it off mum. Um, and she'll say to me, "You haven't got a lot of patience."and she's telling the truth. And so I have to say to her, "What do you think I could do to make that better?"And then she'll sit me down and she'll say, "You have to listen more, you have to learn to listen."So, I try. I do. When we have this conversation, I do listen more, and I do try. Don't always get it right, but I do try.When I'm feeling angry, um, if the other children are around, when one of them sees me upset, they don't like to see me upset, so one of them will come to me and say, "Is it time for some medicine?" And their medicine is they give me a big cuddle.

Listening InTask 2: How to select elective courses?ScriptConsider these tips on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best.Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a littlenarrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding 10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know how to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?What did the runner do to score high on the exam?What is the thing all top students agree on?What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems with our educational systemScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students’ abilities and interest in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could have had if they ha d learned in abroader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think beingwell-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students I believe to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they,you know, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others’. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that’s pre tty sad. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education.Task 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the unive rsity’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harva rd’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.What is main idea of the passage?How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?What was the relationship between Harvard University and religion during its early years?Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey’s fundraising program?What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DUint 3Culture makes me what I amII.

It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Cross-cultural ips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U. S., The U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China--the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is alao very important with the Americans and the British. But while it's important to be on time for business meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a special event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can't change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with the Russians it's important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don't be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions!Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!Questions and keyWhat is true of the Americans and the British in terms of punctuality?In which country do people have "dress down Fridays"?What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?How can you do business well with the Russians?What is the speaker's attitude toward the four nationalities?Keys: 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.CFurther Listening and SpeakingTask 1: PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do they do?According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for an appointment is fixed?How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships and schedules?According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let an opportunity pass by?5.

Listening InTask1: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Task 3:Views on filial piety see changeScriptWith fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety.

One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affectionfor Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now that y ou’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.Uint 6Here are tips for finding a job.II.

Listening InTask 2: Are you ready for a phone interview?ScriptNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewingout-of-town candidates.While you are job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recuriter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In thisway, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and poitely. You should use the inerviewer's titile (Mr or Ms and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you do. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Fianlly, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions and keyWhich of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?What does the speaker say about your resume?According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on the phone?1.

Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise,well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to“re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package” yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?According to the passage, why should you emphasize the most important point about yourself?Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to the passage?How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5.

The university enrollment has been on the increase and some institutions of higher learning do not have enough teachers and teaching facilities, thus affecting the educational quality.Task3:Let's group work!VI.Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1:Problems with our educational systemHi,everybody.My topic today is"Problems with our educational system".I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,which focus only on academic performance and neglect students'abilities and interest in other areas.I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic,and,as a result,many kids have lost their interest in cators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.I think being well-rounded isn't really possible.And as a consequence,some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if they,you know,haven't scored well on the math section,even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'.And they're very aware of their social position,you know.I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.They're just acting in a way they are expected.Often their grades go from bad to worse.And that's pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education.Keys:(1)standardized tests(2)abilities and interest(3)interest(4)pressure(5)well-rounded(6)get into good colleges(7)the rest of the school(8)from bad to worseTask2:The final examScriptAt a university,there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes,midterms,labs,etc.that each had an"A"so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there.They had a great time and didn't make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it.They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam,but,unfortunately,they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare. As a result,they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day.The guys were relieved and elated.The next day,the professor placed them in separate rooms,handed each of them a paper,and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem,worth five points.It was a simple question on a chemical reaction."Cool,"they all thought at the same time,each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth95points:"Which of the tires was flat?"Keys:(1)course(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare(9)placed them in separate rooms,handed each of them a paper(10)On the second page was a question worthTask3:Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of higher learning in the United States.Founded16years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth,the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than21,000students,including undergraduates and students in10graduate and professional schools.Over14,000people work at Harvard,including more than2,100faculty members.Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years,Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities,but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy.Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey,Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education.It was an82.5-million-dollar program for the university.The program increased faculty salaries,broadened student aid,created new professorships,and expanded Harvard's physical facilities.NeiI L.Rudenstine took office as Harvard's26th president in1991.As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university's schools and faculties,Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard's main intellectual priorities.He also stressed the importance of the university's excellence in undergraduate education,the significance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.Keys:1.B2.A3.C4.D5.DViewing and speaking:Task1:University budget cutsScriptHost:Well,David Lammy,the University Minister,joins me from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,mmy.How do these cuts...tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education?Interviewee:Well,I think it's important to remind viewers that we will spend well over12billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than everbefore in our history.But what is important is that when they get to university,is that they have good facilities,good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and,for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant.And you know40percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants.So we have to plan...Host:But there's going to be less money next year.That's the bottom line, isn't it?Interviewee:Er,we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant.That's51million out of a total budget of over five billion.Look,I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they're,you know,it's a lot more than one percent that they're,they're feeling.So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that.Host:And briefly,what about these two-year degrees?This is a reduction in standards,isn't it?Interviewee:Well,we,we,we...It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic18-to21-year-oldundergraduates.We want mature students.We want more parttime students and over the last few years we've been growing the number of foundation degree, two-year degrees that ensure that transition into high university and high level skills.That's what we want to support and that's what we're indicating in the grant letter that we've sent to universities over the last few days.

Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels,eventually killing fish and other animals.Third,oil pollution.If oil enters a slow-moving river,it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface,preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth,warm water.Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers.A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.Keys:1.D2.A3.B4.C5.DTask3:Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task,China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by40to45percent in the next10years.Zhang Guobao,Director of the National Energy Administration,said, "The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment,and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies,including hydroelectric,nuclear,wind,and solar power."Government authorities have closed small,coal-fired plants with a total capacity of60.06million kilowatts in the past four years.This year's target of closing10million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August."We have promised to the international community that15percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by2020,"Director Zhang said.At present,non-fossil energy accounts for only7.8percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption.Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year,exceeding the United States whichinvested US$18.6billion.Thus,China has become the world leader in generating clean energy.Five years earlier,China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5billion.However,China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily.The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society.For instance,more than400,000people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development,affect people's income,and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D2.D3.A4.B5.CIV.Speaking OutMODEL1MODEL2MODEL3V.Let?ˉs TalkTask1:Disappointment over climate negotiationsKeys:1)doesn't really actually commit anyone to doing anything,2)the atmosphere simple can't take the kind of emissions we've been seeing in the business-as-usual scenario and there's no real commitment to change that.3)There's no real commitment to put serious money on the table4)It's not backed by action,5)It does not constitute a...a deal.6)It's a hollow shell7)it lacks anything on emissions cuts8)There's no guarantee that there will be new money,that the money will be real,that there's actually a commitment to get there,or that it will be channeled in new ways,Task2:What's your answer?Two speakers hold a negative attitude toward the world climate conference.Task3:Let's group work!Developed countries should bear more responsibilities.First,they caused most of the world pollution in their industrialization process.Second,they are already economically advanced,with more funds to deal with pollution problems.On the other hand,developing countries caused less pollution in the past, and now they need rapid development.Therefore,an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in1997 stipulated common but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing nations,which means that both should be responsible for environmental protection and cut carbon dioxide emissions,but theformer must take more responsibility.Recently,however,some wealthy countries have insisted that developing countries like China should shoulder more responsibilities.VI.Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1:The environment and the developmentScript:Li:Hi,Professor Wang.I'm Li Lin,a correspondent for the university newspaper.The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and economic development.What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time?Wang:There are many environmental problems:air pollution,water pollution,desertification,overfishing,destruction of natural habitats,acid rain,overconsumption of wild animals and plants,etc.But lying at the center of all those problems,as I see it,is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in1992,growing number of people and governments have adopted the new idea of"sustainable development".This means today's economic growth should not wipe outthe resources and options for future generations.Planning and development should ensure not only economic growth,but also social advancement and environmental health.In other words,some economic behavior must be restricted or controlled.Instilling principles of sustainable development into government planning,resource management and economic policy is the most important step China can take to solve its environmental problems.China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment.For instance,following the huge floods of1998,the government banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in order to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.Still,the basic contradiction between the environment and development persists.Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balance between economic growth and the environment.Keys:(1)water pollution(2)overconsumption(3)economic growth(4)resources(5)social advancement(6)restricted(7)government planning(8)economic policy(9)remarkable steps(10)balanceTask2:Thick cloud of pollution covering southern AsiaScriptA United Nations study says a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia threatens the lives of millions of people.Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early death.The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels.It has affected many countries in southern Asia.The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires,the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles,industries,and power stations.Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves has made the problem worse.Many poor people burn fuels like wood and animal waste in such stoves. Scientists say the cloud of pollution appears to cool the land and oceans by blocking sunlight.They say it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by as much as15percent.At the same time,heat inside the cloud warms the lower parts of theatmosphere.Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall.This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health. Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next 30years as the population of Asia increases to an estimated5,000million people.Keys:1.D2.B3.A4.C5.CTask3:Mountain regions face a number of dangersScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment,according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible,environmental and social pressures on the world's remotest regions increase.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world's people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they were like60years ago.This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect98percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy.The mountains of Europe,parts of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time,many mountain regions are losing people.Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal,people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Keys:(1)negative(2)report(3)warming(4)pressures(5)mountainous(6)barely(7)make way for(8)expect98percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by2055(9)The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountainareas(10)Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year Viewing and speaking:Task1:Santa's home town in dangerScriptWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming,one which many people will pay attention to:There are signs that Santa's home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures.The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle,which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus,has had its warmest winter in 40years.As a result,there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen,no snowballs,and possibly not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.More important for local residents,it may mean fewer tourists,as well. Santa's wintry home town normally attracts thousands of visitors each year,and millions of dollars.Anne Pelttari-Bergman,the town's tourist director,worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal.She explains:"Snow is really important for us,of course,for Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism,and also for our winter tourism because winter isour best season.It is really important for us."Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is an one-time thing.Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas.Keys:(1)signs(2)warmer temperatures(3)warmest(4)snow(5)attracts(6)trouble(7)normal(8)season(9)one-time(10)whiteTask2:Talk after viewingScriptThe image of Santa Claus flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide,and Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols.But if the weather at Santa's home town were to become so warm that there was no more snow at Christmas,Santa Claus would lose his charm.So snow is really important for Santa Claus,for his home town's Christmas tourism,and its winter tourism as winter is the best season in Santa's home town.Unit2testPart IKeys:1.C2.C3.B4.C5.DPart II(1)chemicals(2)atmosphere(3)particles(4)trapped(5)lasts(6)human-based(7)progressed(8)Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere(9)Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings(10)Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems Part III1.A2.C3.D4.C5.BPart IV1.B2.C3.D4.C5.C6.A7.D8.D9.B10.CUint3Culture makes me what I amTask1:On the first dayCollectivism Individualism Individualism CollectivismII.Basic Listening PracticeKeys:1.B2.A3.D4.B5.AIII.Listening InTask1:Competition in AmericaKeys:1.C2.A3.C4.B5.DTask2:How to select elective courses?Keys:(1)roots(2)what(3)moral(4)diligence(5)sin(6)teachings(7)centuries(8)If it's worth doing at all,it's worth doing well(9)In English a new word has been created to describe people who workcompulsively(10)Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productiveTask3:Cross-cultural tips on doing businessKeys:1.D2.A3.D4.A5.CIV.Speaking OutMODEL1MODEL2MODEL3V.Let?ˉs TalkTask1:International Slavery MuseumKeys:1.(1)transatlantic slave trade(2)unknown lands(3)dignity or payment2.(1)rich(2)cotton and sugar3.(1)all over the world(2)family history(3)changed4.200th anniversary5.(1)banned(2)taking part in(3)slavery(4)freedTask2:What's your answer?VI.Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1:Problems with our educational systemScript:To Americans,punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time.Being more than10minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay.Of course,the less formal the situation,the less important it is to be exactly on time.At informal get-togethers,for example,people often arrive as much as30 minutes past the appointed time.But they usually don't try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event,they often set the time days or weeks in advance.Once the time is fixed,it takes almost an emergency to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit,they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just"drop in"unannounced.Also,people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed.The time may vary,but most people think twice about calling after10:00 p.m.To outsiders,Americans seem tied to the clock.People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules.In these societies,people don't try to control time,but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures,for example,view time as a cycle.The rhythm of nature—from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon—shapes their view of events.If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by,they are not very worried,knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the。

Listening InTask 2: How to select elective courses?ScriptConsider these tips on elective courses and you 'll choose those that will serve you best.Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives.Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.1 extra training2 chemistry3 accounting4 many fields of study5 better potential6 business degree7 challenging8 how to learn9 better understanding 10 narrow-mindedTask3: How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know how to read, Accord ing to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s, the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?What did the runner do to score high on the exam?What is the thing all top students agree on?What does the speaker mean by “an active reader”?What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Problems with our educational systemScriptHi, everybody. My topic today is “Problems with Our Educational System”.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students’ abilities and interest in other areas. I think there’re a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven’t had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational systems. I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result, many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence. They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible. And as a consequence some students I believe to be intelligent can’t get into good colleges if they, you know, haven’t scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower then others’. And they’ve very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. They’re just acting in a way that they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And tha t’s pretty sad. I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent, but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education.Task 2: The Final ExamScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, that each had “A” so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time and didn’t make it back to school until early Monday morning.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The guys were relieved and elated. The next day, the professor placed them in separate room, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. “Cool,” they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, “This is going to be easy.” Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: “Which of the tires was flat?”Task3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of highest learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrim at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. Over 14, 000 people work at Harvard, including more than2,100 faculty members. Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England, the university never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education. It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships, and expanded Harvard’s physical facilities.Neil L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard’s 26th president in 1991. As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the unive rsity’s school and faculties, Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard’s main intellectual priorities. He also stressed the important of the university’s excellence in undergraduate education, the significance of keeping Harva rd’s doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.What is main idea of the passage?How many teachers did Harvard have at the very beginning?What was the relationship between Harvard University and religion during its early years?Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an achievement of President Pusey’s fundraising program?What did President Rudenstine do?Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.DUint 3Culture makes me what I amII.

Women deserve the same pay as men for the same work.M: Yeah. In the United States, women earn only 70 percent of what men do for the same job. It’s a situation that has to be changed.Q: What does the man say about women?3. ScriptQ: What do we learn about Dell from the conversation?4.

It is called their “work ethic”. Its (S1) roots were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) what is now the northeastern state of Massachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) moral duty to work at every task to please God by their(S4) diligence, honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) sin to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) teachings, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) centuries believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8) Even as children they were taught, “If it’s worth doing at all, it’s worth doing well.”There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally. (S10) Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are extremely productive. The American culture values achievement, efficiency, and production, and a workaholic upholds these values.Task 3: Cross-cultural ips on doing businessScriptCountries from around the globe, such as Germany, the U. S., The U.K., and Russia, conduct a lot of business in China--the biggest market in the world. Here are some tips to help you deal more successfully with people from those nations.Firstly, you must be punctual with the Germans. Being even five minutes late makes a poor impression. Being punctual is alao very important with the Americans and the British. But while it's important to be on time for business meetings, nobody expects you to be punctual for a special event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't be surprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!Remember that with the Germans, once a deal has been agreed upon, you can't change it! With the Americans, money is more important than relationships, whereas with the Russians it's important to get to know your contacts well. Also, don't be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everyone participating and giving opinions!Remember these tips and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!Questions and keyWhat is true of the Americans and the British in terms of punctuality?In which country do people have "dress down Fridays"?What can you infer about the Russians from their conversation?How can you do business well with the Russians?What is the speaker's attitude toward the four nationalities?Keys: 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.CFurther Listening and SpeakingTask 1: PunctualityScriptTo Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on tome. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: “Do you love life? Then do now waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.”According to the passage, when people are late in America, what do they do?According to the passage, what do Americans do after the time for an appointment is fixed?How do people in some Eastern countries view relationships and schedules?According to the passage, why aren’t some Eastern people worried if they let an opportunity pass by?5.

Listening InTask1: Nuclear Family Living PatternsScriptA nuclear family is typical in high-industrialized societies. Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type. Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they acquire their own jobs and move into their own apartment or home.In the early mid-20th century, the family typically was the sole wage earner, and the mother was the children’s principle care giver. Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States. Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift; that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in later afternoon. In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works.Task 3:Views on filial piety see changeScriptWith fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety. Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conductd by the City University of Hong Kong.As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families.Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds. He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love. When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes. Others said that they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychologiacal health of their parents.According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously. Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care.Researcher Wong questioned the wisdon of adopting the new concept of government welware. He said, "A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent. How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?"He further pointed out that even when a socail security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give.Questions and keyAccording to most of the respondents, who should take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly?Which of the following is a way for most respondents to show respectht and love for their old parents?Which of the following types of people have more loving care for their old parents?According to Researcher Wong, why is a welfare society not realistic in Hong Kong?What it the passage maily abou?1.

It's obvious to me that your daughter is having problems with the visits. I would suggest having a frank conversation with your daughter to see what she feels the problems are. If she says it is all these problems as you have stated above, I would try to talk to yout ex about her problems. I'll try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at school.If he is not responsive, then I'll take your daughter for counseling to help her.You can't make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should speng quality time with her and allow her to vent her feelings on you, and let her know you are always there for her no matter what happens. Try to keep her self-esteem high. When a child fails a grade, they will feel bad.

B2. C3. A4. D5. CTask3: A man who remarriedScriptIf you want me to tell you why I remarried, that’s my story.Remarried is the last thing I’d consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failure. More importantly, I wondered how remarrying would affect my 10-year-old son. My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands, with sadness on our faces. Since my parents have married and divorce eight times altogether, I hope my son would not have to go through the same pain I had experienced. As a result, my primary focus after divorce was my relationship with my son John, not finding a wife.As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating. The first timer he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria. As our relationship developed over the following year, Iwas concerned about my son would actually respond to her. At first, John’s affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several times, he warmed up to her. Seeing that the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted, so our family of two smoothly became a family of three. Thinking back, I believe my remarrying was the right choice.Some single-parents are still besitant about remarrying. Now tha t you’ve heard my story, I hope you won’t hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers.Uint 6Here are tips for finding a job.II.
