It costs£115 per person for a week’s holiday. For this price you get good food— three meals a day—and you sleep in mountain farmhouses. You must also pay for your journey to Wales, of course. If you and your family like sport, fresh air, and a healthy life, this would be a good holiday for you.Perhaps you would rather relax and lie in the sun all day. Then why don’t you go to sunnySpain? How about the Costa del Sol? Happy Holidays can take you there quite cheaply. It costs £250 for ten nights in a luxury hotel. This price includes the cost of the journey from London to Spain— by air, of course.If you like fresh air, a healthy life and plenty of sun, too, you could go sailing in Greece. You don’t need to be a good sailor. You can learn while you are on holiday. During the holiday you live on the boat. You must buy your own food, but food in Greece is quite cheap. And the holiday is not very expensive: £325 per person for two weeks, including the cost of air travel to and from Greece.Task 5【答案】A.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) FB.1) c, 2) c, 3) b, 4) aC.family, 660, camping, 1499, first-class, swimming pool, night club【原文】Travel Agent: Good morning.

My wife and I, and the two children.Child: Mum, can I sit over there and read my comic?Mum: No, you can’t. You want to help us choose, don’t you?Travel Agent: We’ve just got four family trips left. Er... ranging from £660 for this camping holiday on the French Riviera to £1,499 for a week in Corfu— that’s a first classhotel with swimming-pool, night club, you know, everything included. So,youknow, something to suit all tastes and pockets.Child: Dad, is it OK ifI...?Dad: No, it isn’t. Well, I must say, that last one certainly doesn’t suit my pocket. Doyou think you could… tell us what you get for those prices?Travel Agent: Certainly. Well, of course, there’s the flight, and transport to and from the air- port…er...accommodation, of course. Otherwise, well, it varies a bit. InCopenhagenall your meals are included, you know, because it’s a guest house, and…er...thischalet in Sardinia, for example, is basically self-catering, butthere are certainactivities like parties and…excursions, and…er...they’re included in the price.Dad: That last one sounds very interesting.Mum: What do you mean “interesting”? Who’s going to do all the cooking an d cleaning?I must say, I rather like the sound of the guest house.Child: Mum, ...Mum: No!Travel Agent: Well, actually, madam, there are extra catering facilities provided for all our self-catering holidays, should you need them.Child: Dad, ...Dad: Look, do us all a favour and go and sit over there and read your comic, will you?Travel Agent: These are all-inclusive family budget prices—I assure you they represent a substantial reduction on our normal prices.

You know, I’ve heard Copenhagen is such a beautiful city...Dad: Well, I don’t know. This camping one’s obviously out—I mean, it says here thatthey’ve got a casino and cinema and all that, but it sounds too much like hardworkfor me. But what about Sardinia? You know, £975 isn’t too expensive.Mum: Mmm... probably nicer for the kids, too—you know, warmer, and beaches and all that. Yes, let’s take it.Travel Agent: You won’t regret it, madam, I can assure you. Now, I wonder ifyou’d mind justgiving me a few particulars...Mum: Jimmy, what are you doing over there?

There are too many insects.

This is the place I’ve been looking for—the island of my dreams! It’sbeautiful, and it has everything I need: food, fresh water, and peace. The lagoon is full of fish. Thereare coconut palms and wild bananas. There’s a nice little lake among th e hills. And no one lives onany of the islands around here.February 14thI’ve decided to stay here. I’m tired of traveling. I get seasick all the time. And I don’t really wantto get back to civilization. I want to get away from it all—to get back to nature. I want to live thesimple life—the kind of life that Bill’s forefathers used to live, without metal and machines andmoney. Ifthey could live like that, so can I. I’m sure I’m as clever as they were!February 17thIn a few minutes I’m going to go back to the boat. I’m going to fetch the things that Bill gave me.I’ll bring them back here. I’ll sail the boat out to sea. I’ll point it towards South America. Then I’lljump off and swim back here. If anyone finds the boat, they’ll think I fell into the water by accident.February 18thSo here I am—completely alone on my dream island. Now I’ll be able to do what I’ve alwayswanted to do: to get to know myself. Because I’ve never been really sure who I am. I’ve played toomany parts in my life—too many roles in films, and in real life, too. Now I have the chance todiscover the real Buck Westwood. All my life he’s been sleeping somewhere deep inside me—dreaming his “great dream”. Now it’s time to wake up, Buck. Be yourself at last!June 2ndThere was another storm today. It rained hard, and the wind blew away part of the roof. Everything in the house got wet. It’s not a very strong house. I’m not very good at building houses out oftrees and grass and leaves.There’s nothing to eat except coconuts and raw fish. I’m tired of coconuts, and I can’t cook thefish because the fire’s gone out. I wish I had some dry wood and some matches.June l0thI don’t feel very well. There isn’t enough clean water on this island, and there are too manyinsects. The house is full of ants and flies. They’re driving me mad! I wish I had something to killthem with!June 15thOh dear! I’ve only been on this island for a few months, but it feels like years already. There’snobody to talk to, and nothing to read. I wish I could get away from here. But how? I’ve been trying to build a boat, but I need some modern tools. I wish I had a good axe, a saw, a hammer and some nails.June 16thI must send a message for help. But how? That’s the problem! I wish I had a radio.Task 9【答案】A.1) c → e → a → b → d2) c → a → bB.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) F【原文】Hello! I’m very pleased that you have decided to join one of our next London weekends.

Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American's best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students' records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.In addition to the SAT I, some universities require high school students to take at least three SATⅡs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.KeyA.

All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on top of their regular classes.

I really feel that it was all worth it now. When people come to see it, they always say they love it, and that we’ve done a super job, and it’s good to hear that.Pate: I sometimes walk around and just touch various things— some of these books are very rare and they’re lovely to hold— here, feel this leather cover. I think a house should be all about the senses. I hear Mary working out in the morning on her exercise bar, or playing the piano.It really sounds like a home as well.Mary: I think I have two favourite rooms — the music room is here. We had the carpet specially made. Y ou can feel the thickness of it, even in shoes. It’s an informal sitting room, really. A lot of our favourite things are in this room. Sometimes, after a heavy day, I like to just sit here and look at the paintings, or play the piano, or listen to music. My other favourite is the breakfast roo m because it’s so bright and cheery, and in the summer we throw the windows open and I can hear the birds, or Pete playing with the dog.Pete: Someone asked me the other day if I could bear to do it all again.Interviewer: And what did you say?Pete: Well of course, it’s all worthwhile in the end. But to tell you the truth, I was almost sad when it was finished. Well, you know that, I wondered what I was going to do next. I loved designing the curtains for example. And I liked doing the wallpaper. And it was especially good because we were doing it for ourselves. I hated doing some of the mundane things, though.Mary: I think it’s a question of degree, really. I like some types of shopping. I love shopping for antiques, for example. And choosing furniture and fabrics. I like doing that. What I hate doing is ordinary day-to-day shopping. I love shopping for a dinner party, for example.Going into all the small specialty shops, the cheese shop, the fishmonger’s and so on. But I hate shopping for washing powder, for example. I don’t like ding the ordinary boring things.T ask 8【答案】A.Social and economic, America’s housing system1.1) smaller houses or apartments2) rental housing3) cooperatives2. the rising energy prices1) cities2) less to heat and light3) underground3. economic factors1) the cost of houses getting higher and higher2) higher interestB.1) It is a way of solving housing problem and helping keep the cost low. In the cooperative, everyone buys a share of an apartment building. If a low-earning requirement is met, the buys can get a low-interest loan from the government.2) During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.【原文】In recent years, there have been important social and economic changes in the United States. And, these changes have affected almost all of America’s housing system, from home building to home buying.First of all, American families are growing smaller. People today are having fewer children, or choosing not to have children at all. Many people are marrying later in life. And, about 40 percent of all American marriages end in divorce.All this means that many Americans now want smaller houses. And, a larger percentage are buying apartments.This has created a shortage of rental housing in many parts of the country. It has caused special difficulties for those who are old or poor, and do not have the money to buy a place of their own.Some people are solving this problem by forming cooperatives. In a cooperative, everyone in an apartment building joins together and buys a share of the building. If 20 percent of those living in the cooperative have low earnings, then the group can get a low-interest loan from the government. If people want to sell their share in the cooperative, they cannot receive more than they paid for it. This helps keep the cost of cooperatives low.Recent concern over the cost of energy also has brought changes in American housing. Some people are moving back to the cities, to save the cost of driving long distances to work. And, many Americans have begun to seek homes that cost less to heat and light. Some homes are being built underground. They cost almost nothing to heat, because the temperature of the earth changes very little as the seasons change.Other new houses get their energy from the sun. During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.Recently, the American economy has also had a major effect on American housing. Inflation has pushed the cost of homes higher and higher. And, interest rates have become very high. Buyers now must pay as much as 18 percent interest for housing loans.Americans with just moderate earnings now find it very difficult to make monthly payments on new home. In the last few months, even apartments have grown too costly for most people to buy.T ask 9【答案】A.1) Debate on Radio Time.2) Four guests are in the studio. James and Alice are from Sheffield; David and Louise are from a small village in Y orkshire.3) The topic is how living in town compares with living in the country.【原文】Mike: Hello everyone, and welcome to this month’s edition of Debate on Radio Time, the programme for students of English round the world. With me in the studio today I have four guests, James and Alice from Sheffield, and David and Louise from a small village in Y orkshire. How does living in a town compare with living in the country? What do they all think? Let’s start with you, James.James: Living in a town like Sheffield is wonderful. There is so much to do. My parents often go to the theatre or the cinema. I belong to a youth club and go to lots of discos. There’s a good swimming pool at the Sports Centre and a large library. Public transport is good, so it’s easy to get from one place to another. I live very near my school, so I can walk there, and it’s easy to visit my friends.Mike: So you’re very happy. What about you, Alice?Alice: Well, James is right in many ways. But I don’t like living in town. It’s very noisy with all the traffic, and rather dirty. I like going for long walks in the fresh air, but we’ve only got parks. I cycle to school to get some exercise but it’s rather dangerous, and car drivers shout at you. I don’t really like discos or cinemas. I like open fields and a peaceful life. Mike: So you’re a country girl at heart? Do you ag ree with her, David?David: Y es, I do. Y ou’re closer to nature in the country and it’s much quieter. Y ou can watch the plants and animals change with the seasons, and there’s more room to play out of doors.And people are more friendly. They seem to have more time, so they stop and talk to you.There’s less traffic too, so the air stays fresh.Mike: Do you agree with David, Louise?Louise: Not really. I think life in the country is very dull. It’s too quiet. And you can’t really play anywhere because the fields are full of crops and animals. There is less traffic, but people drive very fast on country roads, so they are quite dangerous. I don’t like animals. The nearest youth club is ten miles away. The worst thing is that I have to get up very early.Public transport is very bad in the country, so I have to catch a special school bus from the other end of the village. All my school friends live in different villages, and it’s difficult to see them out of school. Life’s much better in town.Mike: Well, w e don’t agree. Two for and two against. Well, where is it best to live? Can you think of any more points? Have a debate in your class and take a vote. Now it’s goodbye from James, Alice, David and Louise.All: Goodbye, everybody.Mike: Thank you for joining us and until next Radio Time. Goodbye from me.T ask 10【答案】Well, I think I’d prefer to live in a village because ... well, I think the people there are friendly and there is a lot of fresh air. I think life generally is healthier in a village and I like being close to nature. And it’s very important for my work as a writer to have peace and quiet.Well, I’d prefer to live in a city because there’s more going on. Er ... being an actress, I need to go to the cinema and the theatre and there’s far more entertainment in the city than there is in the country, Of course. I also like it because ... um ... people are more open-minded. Peopledon’t ... um ... mind what you do in the city. And for the shopping as well, I mean, I love going to the village shops, but the stores and shops in London can’t compare with anything.Y es, well, I prefer living in a village. It’s safer than a city and there’s less crime and of course there’s less traffic, so it’s much more pleasant. Then, it’s much cheaper than the city. There are…you know, rents are cheaper and so of course are house prices. It’s quiet, it’s…it’s peaceful. Y es, I much prefer living in a village.Y es you. Think of the children Roger. It seems to me that you’re so…so carried away with the idea…that you’re going to…the idea of buying a house at long last that…well…your personal likes and dislikes are…are making you anything but practical. Alex for example. He’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Y es, here we are. “Local primary school within walking distance” it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.T ask 11【答案】to, are, of, is, in, for, to, to, of, or, of, to【原文】Is it better to rent furniture or to buy your own home furnishings? Today, many young people are renting instead of buying, and furniture rental is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the United States. The reason for this trend is quite simple. People prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like instead of buying used or cheap furniture. Renting has another advantage too. It saves people the cost of moving their furniture to other parts of the country when they relocate.T ask 12【答案】For many years, owning a home has been an important part of the American dream. Since the end of World War II, that dream has come true for a growing number of Americans. Just before the war, less than half of all families in the United States owned their own homes. Toda, about 65 percent do.Americans also are living in newer homes than at any other time in American history. The average home today is about 23 years old.Many of these new houses are in suburban areas, just outside America’s cities. About 30 years ago, builders started putting up houses in these areas by the hundreds, and sold them as quickly as they could build them. Today, 35 percent of all Americans live in suburban housing areas that did no exist 30 years ago. The remaining 65 are divided about equally, between cities and small towns.。

Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it’s unusual for a person to be exclusively one “type” rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Part II A3GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / college general exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examination bachelor’s degree: 3/ 4 yearsmaster’s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and that’s usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state you’re in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Somekids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, that’s about eleven, and that’s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and they’ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called “freshmen”, in the second they’re called “sophomores”, in the third year we call them “juniors”and in the fourth year they’re called “seniors”. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until they’re about eleven, then they’ll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entrée into a university or it’s another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school. Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a community college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelor’s degree after three or four years of study. A master’s degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.B1 Idioms / vocabulary / French / spelling / pronunciationB2 1. F 2. T 3. FI – Interviewer P – ProfessorI: And now we have an interview with Professor J. T. Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English is becoming “big business” all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages – it’s essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptable – which is a good thing for a world language – but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French – like “buy” which is Anglo-Saxon and “purchase” which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige.I: Anglo-Saxon?P: That’s the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects – British, American and Canadian English.I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British?P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldn’t use the British term “lorry” for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r” spellings in words such as “honour” and “colour”.I: This has been very interesting. I’m afraid we’re out of time. It has been a pleasure talking to you.Part III University Life A1 I. Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday I’d like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, I’d like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.Let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an “average”student for ourpurposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.What kind of academic experiences will this so-called “average”student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.A2 II. Examinations / quizzesIII. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paperLet’s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generally speaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours.I have only a couple of hours left, and I’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.I hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.B2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ Working outside the classroomPassive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himselfHow would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don’t do in the classroom?He’s eager to experiment with every new thing that he learns, whether it be a structure of a function or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.He’s interested in the mistakes he makes, he’s not afraid to make them.He’s not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?He plays with language.I’ve done this chapter I know this, without trying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.He’s usually passive, he won’t speak up much in the classroom. He’ll rarely ask you why this …Just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn’t do anything more with it.… and in a test he’s the one person who’s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn’t too sure about that after all.And peep over at his neighbor’s paper.An alternative learning strategy.He invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. That’s the result of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.That characterizes the good or bad learner?He’ll do more off his own bat as well, he won’t rely entirely on the teacher.He’ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.Students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.Part IV University Campus A2. the History Department3. the Psychology Department4. the Library5. the Education Department6. the Philosophy Department7. the Geography Department8. the Sports Ground9. the Foreign Languages Department 10. the Chinese Department 11. the Physics Department 12. the Mathematics Department 13. the Chemistry Department 14. the Clinic 15. the Auditorium 16. the Administration BuildingLook at the map.

If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.I: And London?E: London, which was number two, won’t even be in the top ten.

Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in the developing countries?E: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous.

Calcutta in India which was No. 10 in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million- quadrupling its size in just 50 years. Bombay and Delhi too are expected to be in the top ten.I: What about Japan?E: Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950 and that’s where it’ll be at the beginning of the nextcentury, although its population will have trebled to about 18 million. Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.I: Now, if we could turn our attention to home, what about the trend of people moving out of the cities…Part IV skills /the main idea/what/recognize/central / important/direction/ purpose/inform/compare/answer/stated/a topic sentence/ first/ details/ difficult/ persuade/ end/ implied/ hinted at/a wholeUnit 3 Traveling from Place to Place PartⅠABA912/11:20/17 BA877/11:20/14 BA292/11:25/19 TW695/11:30/16 4 EA831/11:35/24 BA838/9 IB290/11:35/15 LH039/11:40/9 BA666/11:40/18 AI141/6 BA560/22 Last call for British airways flight BA912 for Tokyo.

A Way to Improve English Listening Quickly 3
Few days ago, I watched a video which was taken by certain member of Taiwan University for teaching students how to improve English listening skill. Some advice is given from the lecturer. The source of the information is the Writing Center website. Today, I try to watch English movie without Chinese translating subtitles. At the beginning, it is very difficult to understand what the actors are talking about. But gradually, I can figure out more and more words. I know that the method does work to improve my listening skill. Certainly! My English listening ability is not good enough. It is fun to learn things and I always believe that. Page 8 Passage 2 Now you’ll hear a passage, which is followed by four questions. Listen to it and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers. Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, when they meet a native speaker, they are still unable to speak English very well. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes. Many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves. Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy! They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed. 习题答案及参考译文
