What’s your name, please?Nancy: Nancy Leigh.Doris: Is “Lee” your last name?Nancy: No, it’s Leigh. L-E-I-G-H. But “Lee” would be easier to spell, wouldn’t it?3. Doris: I’m sorry.

I’m Betty Russell and I work in the International Students’ Office. I have some important information for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Then, you’ll need to pick up a library card so that you can borrow books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school. There’s no charge for student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card. Concerningthe medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.Task 2: Living on CampusM: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?W: Ye ah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy to make friends.What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?M: No, this is the first time.W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center a nd other facilities are right on campus.M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantages too, like being close to the shopping center. Y ou know, our university is so far from downtown.W: But the commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time.M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while. M: True.1.She thinks it’s easy to make friends.2.It’s convenient to use the library, the labs, the sports center and many other facilities.3.It’s near the shopping center.4.They would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then it would take a lot oftime to get home.5.It seems all the same every day.Task 3:Which comes first, day or night?There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course. He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview. Since the boy answered all the questions correctly, the interviewer decided to corner him. "Tell me your choice," said the interviewer to the boy. "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult. Which option would you prefer? Think before you make up your mind." The boy thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question." "Well, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer. "Tell me: Which comes first, day or night?" The boy was jolted first but he thought for a while and said, "It's the day, sir." "Why?" asked the interviewer. He was smiling. "Sorry, sir, but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!" Admission to the course was thus secured.V. Let’s Talk: School is really hecticMichael: Hi! I saw you yesterday with John. We room together. I’m Michael.Jane: Oh, hi, Mike. How are you doing?Michael: I’m okay, but school has been really hectic since I came. I haven’t even had a chance to breathe!Jane: I know. It’s especially crazy when you’re a freshman. Hey, what’s your major? Michael: Travel and tourism.Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?Michael: Uh… I really haven’t decided. I think I’d like to work for a travel agency in this area.What about you?Jane: Well, when I first started college, I majored in physics, but later I realized I might havea hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer science. Findinga job in the IT industry shouldn’t be as difficult.Michael: Have you got a part-time job to support yourself through school?Jane: Well, I’m on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.Michael: Wow, lucky you!Jane: Yeah. How about you? Are you paying for school yourself?Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at a travel agency.Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you do there? Michael: I’m a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city.Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then.Michael: Actually, they’re all Chinese tourists. That’s why I got the job!VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: University LifeUniversity life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first day, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed me and asked, “Are you a new student?” When he found out I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I love having Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess I’m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don’t get home until early the next day! My head hits the pillow and I don’t move until Friday afternoon.Task 2: Listening EffectivelyThough it is 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught. Listening ismore than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assignment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities well results in learning and, most of the time, good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers or clients, you may lose their business, and your job! In a personal setting, listening effectively deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say “You are important” wit hout ever speaking a word. When we fail to listen, not only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.Unit testPart IQuestioin 1M:Hello, there.

1-------W: I saw an ad on the Internet about online language studies. M: Me too. I saw an ad for, "Click Here for Language Learning."Q: What do the man and the woman have in common?M: You have to be 18 years old to enter some online language classes. W: Really? I had no idea that there was a minimum age required for some classes.Q: What did the woman NOT know about online language classes before?M: Unlike regular classes, online classes can be taken at your home. W: That's exactly why I decided to begin studying online!Q: Why did the woman decide to study online?W: I keep on making new friends as I study online.M: So do I! There are so many people online, and I want to meet them all!Q: What is one benefit of studying online?M: My online teacher asked the class for suggestions to make the class better.W: That's great! I always like it when a teacher does that.Q: What did the man's teacher want to do?M: I had no idea that online language learning could be so effective! W: It sure has helped me practice my language skills!Q: What is it about online language learning that surprised the man?M: My classmates and I help each other solve homework problems online. W: It sounds like you're using the Internet in a useful way.Q: What does the man do online?M: Online learning is ideal for anyone who doesn't have time to travel to school.W: Yes, but it also has its own challenges.Q: What does the woman have to say about online learning?M: Virtual classrooms are changing how students study!W: They sure are! And I, for one, am very excited about it.Q: According to the man, what is happening to students because of virtual classrooms?M: What advice did your professor give you?W: He said that taking an online class would help me learn.Q: What did the woman's professor suggest?Transcript:W: How's your new online class, Bill? Is it everything you had hoped for?M: It's everything and more, Susan. You should give it a try! W: Oh, really? What's the best thing about it?M: In an online class, you talk with others over the Internet. Since they are notright next to you, they don't bother you so much.W: That sounds great!I took a class with someone who would make me feel small whenever I made a mistake. He would tell me how stupid I was and intimidate me so that I never wanted to participate.M: Not a problem in the virtual classroom. How would you like to sign up?I think that you could start on the third of next month. W: I don't know, Bill. You know all those problems about having difficult people in the classroom?M: Yeah?W: We don't really have them anymore since you left.Transcript:The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum. I entered the forum early and sawstudents appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn't shown up. However, we began sharinginformation andtalking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. Therewere 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class."Hey," I wrote, "which one of you is the teacher?" The teacher madeherself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online cl ass. Also, she wantedto have a little fun with us. "Humor will be important in my class," she said.2-----------W: How about spending the evening chilling out with the folks?M: Come on, Mom. I'dreally like to get out with my friends. Q: What does the young man want to do?W: Honestly, I don't know what to say about our son's music.M: Leave him alone about it. After all, your mother didn't like your music either.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?W: I'm surprised to see you out and about so early in the morning.M: You know my mom. She doesn't like me sleeping in, even on weekends.Q: Why is the man out and about so early inthe morning?M: A little teenage rebellion is normal. Your son will get over it.W: I know. I'm just worried about him doing something that will ruin his life. Q: Why is the woman worried about her son?W: Get a piercing in my nose? No way! My parents would be angry!M: You're not giving them enough credit. I don't think they'd be upset at all.Q: Why wouldn't the woman get a piercing in her nose?W: What bug s you most about yourdaughter's eating habits?M: I can't stand the way she eats so quickly.Q: Why does the man have a problem with the way his daughter eats?M: What's wrong with our kids? They think they're entitled to everything we have!W: Well, I feel it's my fault for giving them too much.Q: What does the woman think about their kids' problems?W: Dad, I've got a date tonight with Mike. I'll be back late.M: Him again? I wish you wouldn't date aguy with a tattoo! Q: What does the father wish for his daughter?W: My mother wants me to go into banking, but I like writing. M: You can't let your mother choose your career for you.Q: According to the man, what should the woman's mother NOTdo?W: Dad, I'm a grown woman, and you can't make choice s for me. M: Ha! If you were a grown woman, you wouldn't watch cartoons all day! Q: Why does the girl's father NOT believe that she is a grown woman?M: You should get a sense of humor, Mom.W: I'm sorry, but I just don't think that breaking shop windows is funny.M: If it isn't funny, then I don't know what is. These shop windows only show things out of date and out of fashion. They're misleading. Anyway, it's fun to break old stuff.W: And that's what I'm saying. You don't know what's funny. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed movies and going out with my friends, not causing trouble or breaking things.M: This is just the big difference between your generation and mine. W: No, it isn't! I know teenagers of your age, and they don't have your bad attitude! And they certainly never break shop windows!M: Whatever, Mom. I've got to go now.W: Huh? Where do you think you're going?M: I don't know. Maybe I'll go out and break stuff.Transcript:"Educator methods", such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my "educator methods" failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her.3---------W: In order to have a meaningful life, you must be ready to give and sacrifice.M: I agree totally. And I try to remember this every day. Q: What will be possible if you give and sacrificeaccording to the woman?W: Do you think we should give aid to people in need?M: I think it's the least we should do for them.Q: What should be done for people in need, according to the man?M: Believe it or not, my baseball coach taught me a lot about being kind.W: That really isn't so unusual. After all, it isn't always parents who teach us. Q: Who taught the man to be kind?W: Why do you let your little sister cling to you all the time?M: Since our parents died, she needs me more. I can't push her away.Q: Why does the little sister need the man more?W: My mother never complained about hard work in front of the family.M: Wow, that's something to learn from!Q: What did the woman's mother never complain about? W: You've got to meet my father. He's handicapped and he has a lot to share.M: I'd like to. You just tell me when.Q: Why should the man meet the woman's father?M: I saw you talking to your mother at dusk.W: Yeah, even though she's busy she always finds time to talk to me. That's why I love her so much.Q: Why does the woman love her mother?W: Hey, I heard you spend your evenings at the home for the elderly.M: Some evenings. I'd like to go more, but I don't have time.Q: How does the man feel about going to the home for the elderly?W: You are the first person to extend help when I needed it.M: Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for. Q: Why does the man tell the woman NOT to worry?W: My mother never interrupted me while I told her my problems.M: Sometimes that's the best way to help someone.Q: What did the mother do to help the woman?Transcript:W: I heard a bang on my way to class this morning.M: Some guy brought a gun to school and tried to shoot someone.W: You're kidding! Is everyone OK?M: Yeah. The teacher managedto take the gun from him. W: Our history teacher?M: That's the one.W: He never stops amazing me. M: He was definitely the right person at the right time. After he hit the student and grabbed the gun, he talked to the boy about his problems. While I was on the phone with the police and the parents, he was holding the student. If I was not mistaken, I thought the student was crying.W: Did the teacher help the boy solve his problems?M: I don't think so. The student was clearly bothered by something pretty big. I don't think problems like that can be solved so quickly.But, when the police came to take him away, our teacher told him that he would see him again.Transcript:The friendship and sympathy of a special person changed my life, and I'd like to tell you about it. Looking at me now, you might not guess that I was not very popular when I started my university studies.I was thin and didn't look very handsome with my glasses. In fact, my classmates still laughed at me, just as they did in high school.One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past me and knocked the books out of my hands.I was feeling sad andlonely. But then, someone else approached me and helped me pick up my books. That day, I made my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved. I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how totalk to girls, and above all, how to be social.4----W: I'd really like to make a good impression in class.M: Well, so long as you pay attention, you shouldn't have a problem. Q: How can the woman make a good impression in class?M: I've had a good rest, and am ready to make a good impression on my boss.W: That's the attitude! You're going to be great!Q: What is the man ready to do?M: You've become so mature since I last saw you.W: Nah, it just seems that way because I'm wearing nice clothes. I'm really still like a child.Q: According to the woman, why does she seem different?M: Don't look so aggressive. Calm down and look relaxed.W: OK, I'll remember to smile during my meeting with my new boss.Q: What will the woman remember to do?W: My boss never notices me. I think I lack the skills to get a better job at my company.M: No. You just need to have more confidence in yourself.Q: What does the woman lack according to the man?W: I'm sure you'd be promoted if you wore better clothes.M: You might be right. But clothes are expensive.Q: What might help the man get promoted?M: My status will never improve if I can't make others believe in me. W: Improve the tone of your voice, and others might trust you more.Q: How can the man get others to trust him more?M: How did your interview go?W: Great! I stayed positive, like you said earlier, and I think I got the job!Q: What did the man tell the woman earlier?M: I took an instant likingto you.W: No way! I was so awful to you the first time we met!Q: Why does the woman NOT believe the man?W: It'd be easier for you to persuade people if you don't look so nervous. M: I know, but I really can't change the way I feel.Q: How could the man persuade people more easily?W: Stand up straight! M: What?W: Your head should be up, and your back should be straight! Looking people in the eyes is very important!M: I appreciate your help, but I'm only going to a job interview. W: I assume you want this job. Am I right?M: Of course I do.W: Then listen to me! You'll make a good impression if you show self-confidence. But don't look too rigid. You want to seem a bit relaxed.M: Anything else?W: Yeah. You should tell them a joke.M: A joke?W: Everyone likes a joke. Do you know any?M: I know one about a fight between a Frenchman and a German.W: No! Don't joke about countries, sex, or religions. You could upset someone.M: I don't think I can remember all of this. Maybe I should just stay home.W: Honey, don't worry. You'll be great! Just stand up straight!Transcript:There are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know.To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talk about the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company's special needs, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.I see smart, good-looking people every day, but the ones that leave me with the most remarkable impression are those who know about the company. Do this, and you'll be in good shape!5-------M: The battle against AIDS involves all of us, you know. W: Sure. I'm doing my part by teaching AIDS awareness-raising classes. Q: How is the woman doing her part in the battle against AIDS?W: Some doctors say that AIDS will be cured in ten years.M: Maybe. But even so, we shouldn't stop our battle against AIDS. Q: What do some doctors say?M: What can we do for the 8,000 people who die of AIDS every day? W: Let's write letters to the leaders in the federal government and ask them to support AIDS research.Q: What is the purpose of writing letters?W: Have you heard that our group is forming a network with other groups? M: Yes. We need more AIDS groups to join together so our efficiency will improve.Q: Why are the groups forming a network?M: Let's explore ways to fight AIDS that we haven't tried yet.W: OK. What do you think about writing a publication to educate the public?Q: What is the woman's idea for teaching people about AIDS?W: I'm confident we can stop AIDS by teaching people about it.M: Education will help. But AIDS won't be stopped until a cure is found. Q: When will AIDS be stopped according to the man?M: Some AIDS groups emphasize education and some emphasize research. W: Yeah, maybe you're like me, and you don't know which to join.Q: What is the woman having trouble with?W: If people were more giving, our group would have more resources in the battle against AIDS.M: You're right, but we can't force people to help.Q: What would happen if people gave more?M: I've been thinking about joining an AIDS organization after graduation.W: Don't wait that long! AIDS is a world crisis, so we must fight against it now!Q: Why must the man act now?W: I started educating people about AIDS when I discovered I was infected.M: Lots of people help for many different reasons. I'm glad you're here. Q: Why did the woman start educating people about AIDS?Transcript:W: I know many people who are active in the battle against AIDS. Take my uncle for example. He's trying to find a cure.M: That's great! Has he made any progress?W: Some. Right now he's working on a medicine to clean the AIDS virus out of the body.M: How is this medicine different from others?W: Some AIDS medicines can help a little. But the AIDS virus is so good at hiding that it remains. This new medicine will be able to find the virus and get rid of it.M: So why isn't this medicine being used now?W: Well, it's not ready yet. Doctors are concerned about the side effects, like a bad reaction to the use of other AIDS medicines.M: I'm very impressed with what your uncle has done. I'd like to do the same kind of work some day.W: That would be good. But until then, you could at least give money to support research.Transcript:A young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he's afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease.This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world's poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines.In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won't solve all of the problems.6-----M: Do you know what is meant by Consider Collar Colors Carefully? W: It means we should think about our beliefs about job status.Q: What does Consider Collar Colors Carefully mean?W: Since you became an executive at the firm, you never have time for the kids.M: I know. All the respect and money I get now isn't worth missing my children.Q: How does the man feel about being an executive?M: My aunt visits schools to convince girls to become plumbers.W: I'd be surprised if many girls listened to her. Most want to work in offices.Q: What would surprise the woman?M: Did you hear the big news? The vice-president died! And I might get his job!W: Are you sure you want it? The job was what gave him the heart attack! Q: Why should the man think more about taking the job according to the woman?W: I really admire people who work hard to build roads and clean the city.M: That's nice to hear. Many people don't respect laborers.Q: According to the man, what is nice to hear?W: You had options after college. Why did you choose to be a window washer?M: I think it's exciting to be high up, outside of tall buildings. Q: Why did the man choose his job?M: It took me 30 hours to write that proposal. I haven't slept, and I want to cry.W: It's finished now. And you can relax by playing some golf.Q: What might make the man relax according to the woman?M: The image of trash men being dirty is wrong! Many of them are very clean.W: I believe you're right. Still, I'm not sure I'd like to become one. Q: What do the two speakers agree on?W: Since you work in an office, you can wear nice clothes every day. M: To be frank, I'd rather wear a T-shirt than a suit.Q: What would the man like to dress for work?M: I'm getting tired of the rude comments we get as garbage men! W: Just ignore them. We know our work is important, and that's all that matters.Q: What should the man do according to the woman?Transcript:M: When we were kids, we didn't think much about social status. We played the part of doctors or plumbers and didn't really understand why one was better than the other.W: Right! We didn't consider collar colors carefully. Later, we learned to respect people like business executives, lawyers, and doctors more than others.M: Do you think we learned the right idea?W: Yeah, I do. Some people are more important than others for society.A plumber, for example, does important work. But he can be replaced easily. A doctor, on the other hand, does important work and it is difficult to replace him. We should, then, respect people like doctors more.M: What about plumbers? Shouldn't we respect them, too?W: Everyone who works hard should get respect, but it's not necessary to respect everyone the same. Of course, I'm friendly and nice to my plumber, but I don't think he's as valuable as some people.Transcript:There was a time when I was afraid to tell people I am a construction worker. Nowadays, I'm proud of it. In fact, I boast about it.My life changed one day when my daughter came home from school and told me that I had a better job than any of the parents of her classmates. At first, I was surprised. I knew many of her classmates had parents who were important business people. I reminded her that business people get more respect from society, often make more money and work in an office.She told me that I didn't understand what was important in life. Respect, money and offices aren't as important as time. Businessmen must work long hours, so they can't see their children as much. Building houses, I only work six hours a day. This gives me more free time to spend with her.7----W: So, did you buy guns for sport or for trouble?M: Neither! I bought a couple of pistols to protect my home.Q: Why did the man buy guns?M: What's the problem? Keeping a gun in my home for safety isn't a crime. W: In this country it is against the law. You'll have to give it to the police right away!Q: What is the problem with the man having a gun?M: My anxiety level always goes up when I see someone late at night. W: You wouldn't be so worried if you carried a gun, like I do.Q: Why does the woman NOT get worried?M: My daughter was arrested for having a pistol at school.W: I know. She told me that she brought it because she didn't feel safe. Q: What does the woman know?M: It's usually males who cause problems with guns. I don't know why. W: Men are just more violent by nature, I think. They cause many problems. Q: Why do males cause most problems with guns?W: I'm cautious when I'm out. I pay attention and stay out of trouble. M: If you continue to do so, you won't have to worry about needing a gun.Q: Why does the woman NOT need a gun according to the man?M: Did you see what the robbers looked like before they started shooting? W: They had on nylon masks, so I couldn't see. I was scared when they shot at me.Q: Why could the woman NOT tell what the robbers looked like?W: I heard that you shot your gun in the house yesterday. Did you see a robber?M: No. I fired it by mistake while polishing the handle. I should have been more careful.Q: Why did the man shoot his gun in the house?M: I became an advocate of tougher gun laws after my son was killed. W: I know you mean well, but I don't think you're doing what he'd want. Q: What does the woman doubt?M: Will you reveal the cause of gun violence at this meeting?W: No. Gun violence is not simple enough to understand in such a short time.Q: Why will the woman NOT tell people the cause of gun violence?Transcript:M: Before the robbery, cases of gun violence were only statistics to me, numbers that I would read in the newspaper. But now, things will never be the same.W: What do you remember?M: I remember everything that I would like to forget. Most of all, I remember the shots. Bang! The sound of the first bullet being fired rang in my ears. I turned and saw a victim collapse. She grabbed her chest. And then, in a moment, she was still.W: You just stood there?M: I was so scared; it was like I was frozen.W: Why did they do it?M: The robbers? They wanted money, of course. But I blame society for allowing people to have guns.W: I don't think I'd like it much if I was told I couldn't have a gun. Having a gun makes me feel safer.Transcript:Millions of people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence, and many of them think guns should be destroyed. I understand how they feel, but I don't share their opinion. Since I've owned guns my entire life, my thoughts on this issue are different.The reality of the situation is that guns don't kill people. People kill people. So we should think less about the problems of guns, and think more about the problems of people. We should think about joblessness and poor education, which are at the foundation of this issue. And we should act to reduce these problems by promoting better schools.Education shows us how to rise above violence, teaching us how to be responsible and how to support ourselves by our work. More people need to learn these important lessons, and then we can reduce gun violence in society.8-----W: Rack your brain for creativity and you will solve your problem. M: I hope you're right. But it doesn't seem like I'll ever be a great painter.Q: What is the man having trouble with?M: What are you doing just sitting there daydreaming? You've got work to do!W: Before I start anything, I like to rack my brain for creativity first. Q: What does the woman like to do?W: It's a miracle! How did you finally solve the math problem?M: The answer just came to me out of a dream.Q: How did the man solve the problem?M: You're a great inventor. How do you get your great ideas?W: They usually come to me suddenly when I'm well rested and relaxed. Q: When does the woman get her great ideas?W: Please, tell me how you get ideas for your novels.M: Ideas burst into my mind while I'm walking in the park. I don't know how.Q: When does the man get ideas for his novels?W: I just can't think of a good topic for my essay! I don't know what to do!M: Try running. Exercise always helps me clear my mind and think of ideas.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do to think of a good essay topic?W: When I turned 50, ideas just started flashing in my mind. It wasmysterious.M: I've heard stories like that. It's really not unusual.Q: What has the man heard before?W: I just came up with an idea for passing this test!M: Quick! Write it down! Ideas are fleeting! And it may be our only hope!Q: Why should the woman write the idea down?M: Countless great musicians and artists have created great works for the church.W: Do you think that religion gives people the ability to open their creativity?Q: What does the woman wonder?W: Years ago, it was easy for me to create new ideas. But now, I have none.M: Maybe you should see a psychologist who can help you.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?Transcript:M: You better start working! Our boss will come any moment!W: I've already seen her. And I'm doing what she told me to do.M: She told you to sit around and do nothing?W: No! She told me to rack my brain for creativity.M: What?W: To rack your brain for creativity means that you think hard for a creative answer to a problem. Before I start my work, I want to think of the best idea possible. When it flashes into my mind, I'll begin. M: Hey, that's what I was doing last week! But when she saw me doing it, she threatened to fire me!W: No. You weren't thinking of ideas. You were just sleeping. There's a big difference.M: Oh. What problems are you trying to solve now?W: Actually, our boss told me to think of a way to tell lazy employees that they'll lose their jobs if they don't work harder.Transcript:Do you think that creative ideas come easily, that they just flash into the mind without hard work? Hardly! Sure, creative ideas come all of a sudden. But the fact remains that those sudden thoughts most often come after a person has worked, studied, and tried several other solutions to whatever question he is trying to answer. Most often, even after he has come up with his creative idea, the person will have to。

新视野大学英语视(第二版)听说教程第一册P a s s a g e原文PassageUnit1: The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum. I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class. “Hey,” I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?” The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,” she said.Q1: What was the first requirement of the online class? AQ2: What was strange about the beginning of the online class? AQ3: How were the other students different than the speaker? CQ4: What did the speaker notice? DQ5: Why did the teacher NOT make herself known to the class at first? DUnit2:“Educator methods”, such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my “educator methods” failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because It really was fun. My main goal was to let her know thatI love her. Qs: 1. What did the speaker do to his daughter when his “educator methods” failed? D2. What did the speaker and his daughter do while having ice cream? B3. What happened at the bookstore? A4. How often did the speaker and his daughter decide to go out together? C5. What was the main purpose for the speaker’s outing with his daughter? AUnit3:The friendship and sympathy of a special person changed my life, and I’d like to tell you about it. Looking at me now, you might not guess that I was not very popular when I started my university studies. I was thin and didn’t look very handsome with my glasses. In fact, my classmates still laughed at me, just as they did in high school. One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past me and knocked the books out of my hands. I was feeling sad and lonely. But then, someone else approached me and helped me pick up my books. That day, I made my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved. I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how to talk to girls, and above all, how to be social.Q1: What changed the speaker’s life? BQ2: How was the life at the university similar to the speaker’s life in high school? CQ3: What happened when the speaker was leaving the science building? AQ4: What did the speaker help his friend with? CQ5: What did the speaker’s friend help him with? BUnit4:There are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know. To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talkabout the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company’s special needs, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.I see smart, good-looking people every day, but the ones that leave me with the most remarkable impression are those who know about the company. Do this, and you’ll be in good shape!Qs: 1. What does the speaker do for his company? C2. What should a person do before the interview? A3. Why should you learn about the company’s special needs? B4. Who does the speaker see every day? D5. What kind of people impress the speaker the most? DUnit5:A young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he’s afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease. This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world’s poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines. In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won’t solve all of the problems.Qs: 1. Why does the young man NOT want to take his medicine? A2. What is the result of NOT taking AIDS medicine? C3. Who goes to the world’s poorest places for the battle against AIDS? C4. What are people told to trust? D5. What must be done for AIDS to stop spreading? AUnit6:There was a time when I was afraid to tell people I am a construction worker. Nowadays, I’m proud of it. In fact, I boast about it. My life changed one day when my daughter came home from school and told me that I had a better job than any of the parents of her classmates. At first, I was surprised. I knew many of her classmates had parents who were important business people. I reminded her that business people get more respect from society, often make more money and work in an office . She told me that I didn’t understand what was important in life. Respect, money and office aren’t as important as time. Businessmen must work long hours, so they can’t see their children as much. Building houses, I only work six hours a day. This gives me more free time to spend with her. Qs: 1. What does the man boast about? B2. What did his daughter tell him about being a construction worker? D3. What did the man know about some of her classmates’ parents? C4. According to his daughter, what was most important is life? A5. What does the construction worker do when he is free? BUnit7:Millions of people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence, and many of them think guns should be destroyed.I understand how they feel, but I don’t share their opinion. Since I’ve owned guns my entire life, my thoughts on this issue are different. The reality of the situation is that guns don’t kill people. People kill people.

More people need to learn these important lessons, and then we can reduce gun violence in society.Qs: 1. What are millions of people afraid of? D2. What are the real gun problems according to the speaker? C3. What is at the foundation of gun violence according to the speaker? C4. How can we reduce problems behind the gun violence according to the speaker? A5. Which important lesson do we need to learn? CUnit8:Do you think that creative ideas come easily, that they just flash into the mind without hard work? Hardly! Sure, creative ideas come all of a sudden. But the fact remains that those sudden thoughts most often come after a person has worked, studies, and tries several other solutions to whatever question he is trying to answer. Most often, even after he ahs come up with his creative idea, the person will have to test it and then think more about it. Sometimes this can take decades.If you want to invent a creative idea of your own, you must be active! Learn as much as possible and try out many solutions.

Most often, what will a person do after having a creative idea? A4. What does the speaker say is necessary for having a creative idea? A5. When will the perfect, most creative answer occur to you? DUnit9:You might think that studying in school is something you should be doing on your own without assistance from others. In a way, you’re right. You are responsible for your own success and failure in school. This is why you must, by yourself, plan your time well and do your best to pass your exams. Still, there are people who can help you with your studies.For example, your professor can be of great help. She is not only at the school to supply you information in lectures, but to help in other ways too. No doubt, she even has office hours for students who have questions about the material given in class. By talking to her about your questions, you can improve your knowledge of whatever subject you’re studying. This information, in turn, will help you earn higher grades in your class.Qs:1. What does the speaker think about students working alone? A2. What is a student responsible for? B3. What must a student try his best to do? B4. When can you ask your professor questions according to the professor? A5. Why is asking questions useful?

Listening InTask 1: The Internet on CampusThe Internet, a worldwide information network, is used at universities mainly as an information supply source. Staff supply information via the Internet and students may access it or any other publicly available information. The Internet is also useful for students to communicate with staff. Teachers may present lecture materials in lecture halls, and at the same time, they can distribute the materials for students to access from any location at any time via their computer. Such materials are preesented mainly in the form of text, still pictures and hypertext links. Students find this valuable and relevant to their needs. If they must miss a lecture, students can still keep up to date. Staff users may put up notices of conferences, maintain professional contacts, and communicate and conduct discussions with their colleagues or students. Students, on the other hand, are taught haow to use the Internet as an individual productivity tool in several courses.1. A2. D3. A4. A5. CTask 2: Surfing the NetW: Hi Bryan. Hare you doing? You look tired.M：Oh, I’m a little burnt out. I’ve been surfing the Net for the last few hours.W: Were you doing schoolwork, or was it just for pleasure?M：Well, I wanted to get some information on South America for a project I have, but I found a really interesting chat site with people from there and started chatting.W: Well, did you get the information you needed?M：Yes, but then we spent lots of time chatting about other interests.W: I see. The Internet is a wonderful place. There is so much information available. I completely understand how you can get distracted. Sometimes I find myself looking for one piece of information, but by the time I am finished I have a lot more than I started off looking for.M：I know. One thing I really don’t like about it, though, is it takes so much longer to find things, because many sites are useless.W: Yes, there’s that, and also, I often find the same site over and over again in a search. That definitely wastes lots of my time.M：And, of course, there are sites that offer little to no relevant information on the topic you are searching for. In my search today, I found quite a few sites that were nothing more than old local news archives and event calendars.W: Well, I’m sure they were useful to someone at some time, but they should be removed when they’re no longer of use to anyone.M：I agree. With all the time I spnd on it, I still find it to be the best source of information available.And speaking of information, I really should read through what I got on the Internet and start working on my project.W: Okay. Good luck. It’s funny we had this chat, as I was just on my way home to surf the Net myself.M：Well, it was nice talking to you, and maybe I’ll meet you in a chat room later tonight.1.Surfing the Internet for the last few hours.2.Some information on South America for a project he had.3.Because there is so much information available.4.It takes so much longer to find things because many sites are useless.5.She thinks they were useful to someone at some time, but they sgould be removed when they’reno longer of use to anyone.Task 3: Internet AddictionOver the years, studies have shown that it’s possible to become addicted to the Internet. Actually, college students are most likely to have the addiction because of many factors. Difficulty in adapting to life away from home, and certain psychological problems like depression or social anxiety are among the main reasons. College students have lots free time to spend and many of them are supplied with free Internet access and a computer in their doorms. It’s really easy to get addicted. Walking through the computer labs, you are most likely to find students chatting or surfing on the Internet. There are not just some, but many students not really doing anything related to schoolwork. They are spending far too much time online, which may do harm to their schoolwork and other activities. As a result, some have been academically dismissed, and others are even in the danger zone for developing an addiction needs to be addressed now as a serious problem on college campuses.likely adapting psychological access dorms chatting related dismissed gamblingTask 4: A Brief Introductionhonored as our guest computer hacking protect books and articles misuse New Threats to Security wake your interestIV.

What do you think I should do?Nicole:If uou ask me, you just need to have your connection checked.Christopher: Maybe you’re right. But, to tell the truth, what I really need is to have my own computer.Nicole:Why? As far as I’m concerned, that’s not necessary when you’re living on campus.Model 2 In my opinionAshley: Hey Mike, what are you doing online?Michael: Well, I’m getting some ideas for my term paper.Ashley: Ideas? Well, I personally think we should think for ourselves.Michael:It’s easier said than done! Working with the Internet is much faster , you know.Ashley: But, in my opinion, that’s a form of plagiarism.Michael: Come on, Ashley. I never quote the passages; I just use their ideas.Model 3 As I See it, …Maria: I’ve got to do two assignments this week, but the Internet is not always a timer saver. Jessica: Searching on the Internet? Don't’t you think it’s hard to find the right information for your assignments?Maria:No, just the opposite. There’s too much information. I start looking for one thing, and see something else. Before I know it, I’m completely off topic.Jessica: Well, as I see it, you should focus on what you are doing and not get distracted.Maria:But, the point is that it’s very hard to stay on one topic when other topics keep flashing and jumping out at you!V. Let’s TalkAnne: John! You’re playing computer games again?John: Hi, darling. I’m just surfing the Net.Anne: Oh, my gosh! You’re becoming a Net-addict!John: Come on, Anne. I find the Internet very useful—I can find anything. Want me to search for the number of Net-addicts in America?Anne: John, you spend more time on the Net than with me. It’s kind of unhealthy!John: Unhealthy? Here, just feel my muscles. I like Atlas—I can lift the world with the Net. Anne: Stop joking, John. You spend hours closed up in your room, with just your computer for company, like a recluse. It is as if you lived in a computer!John: Not really.

You need to interact with people, play real games, and enjoy nature.Your virtual world is a form of… of… escapism.John: The real world could use some escaping form, don’t you think?Anne: You know, John, it is not just you; most young people—even children—spend so much time on the Net that it is not only affecting their eyesight but also their personalities. They arebecoming unsociable…John: Anyway, look at the positive side: the amount of useful information available on the Web is amazing.Anne: I know that. As long as the Internet is only a virtual girlfriend, I won’t have to worry about it.John:2,4,6,8Anne:1,3,5,7For ReferenceaA, say hello to B and ask what he is doing online.Hi,Brian.

Downloaded an essay? Are you crazy? We’re supposed to write papers by ourselves.B, try to justify your act.Sounds easy! But I don’t have the time. Besides, I’m not into literature, you know.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: The Origin of the InternetThe story of the Internet begins in the late 1950s. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. ThePentagon set up a research team in 1958 to create a computer network to operate during disasterslike a nuclear war. The resulting network linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It grewinto the World Wide Web or the Internet that became the network system of the Information Age. In1985, the National Science Foundation created a network which provided a free national service toany U.S. research and education institution. Later, large corporations began to build their ownnetworks. All those networks finally joined the Pentagon’s network to form the Internet. By the1990s, anyone with a computer, a modern, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. In thefuture, the Internet will probably grow more complex and become part of a larger network called the information highway. With that people could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many otheractivities online.Task2: The Internet—A Small TownThe Internet is a global network, but in many ways it’s like a small town with similar services to of fer. There are electronic post offices to send and receive e-mail, functioning somewhat more efficiently than the Post Office we know. There are libraries of information that stay open 24 hours a day with millions of books and documents to browse or search through on the World Wide Web or WWW. You can also enjoy real-time text-based communication, using written or printed material to communicate with others immediately and almost “face to face”. Local coffee shops are seen in the guise of chat room, with pe ople dropping by at all hours of the day and night to socialize. Online education and training is available just as it is in a “bricks and mortar” university or school. Online banking offers you all the services available at your local bank, without fearing to be mugged at an ATM. You can buy almost anything, listen to your local radio station or do your grocery shopping. Indeed, the Internet is your town in a box!Task3: If only life could be like a computer!To get your daily exercise, just click on “run”!If you need a break from life, click on “suspend”.Hit “any key” to continue life when ready.To “add/remove” someone in your life, click settings.To improve your appearance, just adjust the display settings.When you lose your car keys, click on “find”.You could click on “send” and the kids would go to bed immediately.To feel like a person, click on “refresh”.Click on “close” to shut up the noises.To undo a mistake, click on “back”.Is your furniture getting old? Click “update”.If you messed up y our life, you could press “Alt, Ctrl, Delete” and start all over!Speaking1. F2. T3.T4.F5.T。

新视野大学英语视（第二版）听说教程第一册Passage原文讲课稿新视野大学英语视(第二版)听说教程第一册P a s s a g e原文PassageUnit1: The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum. I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experiences and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class. “Hey,” I wrote, “which one of you is the t eacher?” The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,” she said.Q1: What was the first requirement of the online class? AQ2: What was strange about the beginning of the online class? AQ3: How were the other students different than the speaker? CQ4: What did the speaker notice? DQ5: Why did the teacher NOT make herself known to the class at first? DUnit2:“Educator methods”, such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that eventhough parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my “educator methods” failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because It really was fun. My main goal was to let her know thatI love her. Qs: 1. What did the speaker do to his daughter when his “educator methods” failed? D2. What did the speaker and his daughter do while having ice cream? B3. What happened at the bookstore? A4. How often did the speaker and his daughter decide to go out together? C5. What was the main purpose for the speaker’s outing with his daughter? AUnit3:The friendship and sympathy of a special person changed my life, and I’d like to tell you about it. Looking at me now, you might not guess that I was not very popular when I started my university studies. I was thin and didn’t look very handsome with my glasses. In fact, my classmates still laughed at me, just as they did in high school. One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past me and knocked the books out of my hands. I was feeling sad and lonely. But then, someone else approached me and helped me pick up my books. That day, Imade my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved. I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how to talk to girls, and above all, how to be social.Q1: What changed the speaker’s life? BQ2: How was the life at the university similar to the speaker’s life in high school? CQ3: What happened when the speaker was leaving the science building? AQ4: What did the speaker help his friend with? CQ5: What did the speaker’s friend help him with? BUnit4:There are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them. So, as an interviewer for my company, I expect people to be clean, well dressed, and show confidence when they see me. This is basic. But there is something else you must know. To leave a good impression in an interview, you must be able to talkabout the company. Before you see the interviewer, do some reading. Understand the company’s special needs, so you can tell your interviewer how you can fill those needs. And then, you can explain why you should get the job.I see smart, good-looking people every day, but the ones that leave me with the most remarkable impression are those who know about the company. Do this, and you’ll be in good shape!Qs: 1. What does the speaker do for his company? C2. What should a person do before the interview? A3. Why should you learn about the company’s special needs? B4. Who does the speaker see every day? D5. What kind of people impress the speaker the most? DUnit5:A young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comf ortable, because he’s afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease. This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world’s poorest places, where people have th e least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines. In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won’t solve all of the problems.Qs: 1. Why does the young man NOT want to take his medicine? A2. What is the result of NOT taking AIDS medicine? C3. Who goes to the world’s poorest places for the battle against AIDS? C4. What are people told to trust? D5. What must be done for AIDS to stop spreading? AUnit6:There was a time when I was afraid to tell people I am a construction worker. Nowa days, I’m proud of it. In fact, I boast about it. My life changed one day when my daughter came home from school and told me that I had a better job than any of the parents of her classmates. At first, I was surprised. I knew many of her classmates had parents who were important businesspeople. I reminded her that business people get more respect from society, often make more money and work in an office . She told me that I didn’t understand what was important in life. Respect, money and office aren’t as i mportant as time. Businessmen must work long hours, so they can’t see their children as much. Building houses, I only work six hours a day. This gives me more free time to spend with her. Qs: 1. What does the man boast about? B2. What did his daughter tell him about being a construction worker? D3. What did the man know about some of her classmates’ parents? C4. According to his daughter, what was most important is life? A5. What does the construction worker do when he is free? BUnit7:Millions of people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence, and many of them think guns should be destroyed.I understand how they feel, but I don’t share their opinion. Since I’ve owned guns my entire life, my thoughts on this issue are different. The reality of the situation is that guns don’t kill people. People kill people. So we should think less about the problems of guns, and think more about the problems of people. We should think about joblessness and poor education, which are at the foundation of this issue. And we should act to reduce these problems by promoting better schools. Education shows us how to rise above violence, teaching us how t be responsible and how support ourselves by our work. More people need to learn these important lessons, and then we can reduce gun violence in society.。
