李华和Larry在看世界杯足球赛，美国队和阿尔及利亚队。我们要学两个常用语：on the edge of your seat和down to the wire.
LH: Larry，今天这场比赛可很重要！美国要是赢了，就进16强，要是输了就得回家了。
L: I know! Who do you think will win? The U.S. or Algeria?
LH: 这可说不好。
L: I agree, it's hard to predict who will win. All I know is that I'm going to be on the edge of my seat the whole game.
LH: 什么？你要坐在椅子边儿上看比赛？这样坐着你一会儿就得累。
L: Actually, when you are really excited or nervous about something, you can say that you are on the edge of your seat.
LH: 哦，on the edge of your seat不是真的坐在椅子的边儿上，而是形容紧张的样子。你是说，这场比赛让你感到特别紧张、兴奋，简直坐也不是站也不是。
L: Right! Or for another example, my friend Eddie loved the new Jack Nicholson suspense movie. He said it kept him on the edge of his seat for two hours.
LH: 对！悬疑电影总是让人的心提在嗓子眼，紧张得不行！哎，Larry, 你不是说你在网上买了一件美国队的球衣么？寄来了没有？
L: I've been waiting on the edge of my seat all week for it to come, but it hasn't arrived yet. I hope it didn't get lost in the mail.
LH: 别急，没准今天球衣就到了。你看别的世界杯比赛了吗？
L: Yeah a few, but for me, none can keep me on the edge of my seat like a U.S. match does.
LH: 这倒是！不过，足球比赛太紧张了！要不我们还是看“美国偶像”吧，轻松一下。
L: No way! I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat whenever they announce the winner of American Idol.
LH: 你怎么看什么都这么激动！对了，我还真没看出来，你也是美国偶像的粉丝啊！
L: Well you never know when you might learn something surprising about me, Lihua.
LH: 哈哈，那以后和你说话时我该紧张了，I'll be on the edge of my seat when I talk to you!
******
美国对阿尔及利亚的比赛结束了，Larry和李华在谈论这场比赛。
LH: 真够悬的！双方一直是0比0，我还以为美国队要被淘汰了呢！谁知美国队居然在最后三分种里进了个球，这下就挺进16强啦！
L: I know! That was so amazing! If I watch a few more games like that, I'm going to have a heart attack!
LH: 心脏病？不至于吧！不过，这场比赛最后几分钟确实挺刺激的。
L: You're right. That game really came down to the wire.
LH: Down to the wire? 这是什么意思？
L: When something comes down to the wire, that means there isn't much time left.
LH: 哦，down to the wire就是指到了最后关头。你是说这场比赛在快结束的时候居然难分胜负。
L: Right. Here's another example. My big report for work is due tomorrow and I still have a lot of work to do, so it's really coming down to the wire today.
LH: 你是说，明天有报告要交，可你还没怎么写呢，所以今天是你完成报告的最后关头了！哎？既然要写报告，干嘛还看世界杯？
L: I'll just say that I know what's important in life. Say, how is your summer job search going?
LH: 还在找呢。我已经快没钱了，如果再找不到工作，我连房租也交不出来了。
L: Gosh, it sounds like it's really coming down to the wire. Have you had any success?
LH: 倒是有一份工作，我已经进入最后一轮面试了，公司说今天下午打电话通知我结果。
L: Wow, it sounds like it's coming down to the wire. You must really be on the edge of your seat.
LH: 是啊，已经快5点了，还没来电话，我都要急死了！
今天李华学了两个常用语。一个是on the edge of your seat, 表示紧张兴奋。另一是down to the wire, 意思是到最后关头。
流行美语第351课
李华和Larry正在一起看世界杯美国对斯洛文尼亚的比赛。今天我们要学两个常用语：push over和blow it.
LH: Larry, 美国队的第二场比赛就要开始了，我真等不及啦！
L: Yeah, I'm really excited too! Hopefully the U.S. will have good luck again today playing Slovenia.
LH: 对！美国队上次和英格兰踢的时候就是因为运气好捞到了一个进球！不过，斯洛文尼亚不是什么强队，美国队这次不靠运气，靠实力，踢赢也不成问题吧？
L: I don't know ... Slovenia is playing very well. They're not going to be a push-over.
LH: 啊？什么是a push-over?
L: A push-over is someone who is very easy to take advantage of.
LH: 哦，a push-over就是容易控制、好欺负的人。你的意思是，斯洛文尼亚可不是那么容易对付的，是不是？
L: Exactly! Here's another example. Even though Joe always turned in his homework late, he never got in trouble because his teacher was a real
push-over.
LH: 嗯, Joe的老师好欺负，所以他不交作业也没事。
L: Exactly. So Lihua, how did you get out of work today to watch the World Cup?
LH: 因为我老板喜欢我啊，只要我央求一下，她什么都答应我！
L: Hmm ... she sounds like a real push-over. I wish my boss always gave me everything I asked for.
LH: 下次我教你讨上司喜欢的秘诀！对了，看完比赛我还要去公司，你开车送我吧。
L: Well I'm pretty busy this afternoon. Can you take the bus?
LH: 那可不行，大热天的我还得等车，不干不干！
L: Eh ... alright, I'll give you a ride. You know that I'm such a push-over. But why didn't you ride your bike today?
LH: 别提了，我的车坏了！我把它拿到修车厂，结果他们开出的修理费简直是天文数字！我可不上当，扭头就走了！
L: Well, I can see you're definitely not a push-over, Lihua.
LH: 那可不！如果别人想占你便宜，你就得自我保护！好了，不说了，比赛要开始了！
L: Great, let's watch!
******
比赛结束了，Larry和李华还是回味无穷。
LH: 这比赛真是峰回路转！美国开始的时候0比2落后，结果居然又追回两球，打成平局了！
L: Yeah, but the U.S. should have won!
LH: 就是，最后一个球，美国队明明进了，裁判却吹犯规，误判误判！
L: I know, I can't believe that the referee blew that call.
LH: The referee blew the call? 什么意思？
L: Actually, when you make a really big mistake, you can say that you blew it.
LH: 啊，blow something就是说犯大错误，把事情搞砸。所以你是说，裁判把美国队的进球判成无效，是很严重的误判。
L: Right! Here is another example. Joe wanted to impress Carol on their first date. But he really blew it because she was a vegetarian and he took her to a steak restaurant.
LH: 啊？带吃素的人去牛排店，这不是满错了么！对了，Larry, 美国队下一场踢阿尔及利亚，你说胜算有几成？
L: Well, most people think that the U.S. is a better team. We should win as long as we don't make a big mistake and blow it.
LH: 太好了！比赛星期三，咱们一起看！
L: Well I would really like to ... but I have a big presentation on Thursday that I will need to prepare for, and I really don't want to blow it.
LH: Larry, 世界杯比做报告重要多了！还是跟我看比赛吧！
L: Well Lihua, my boss isn't a push-over. If I do a bad job, he will get really mad at me.
LH: 你老板不好惹？那就算了吧......要不这样，我看比赛，你在家准备报告，如果比赛有什么精彩内容，我就打电话告诉你！
L: Hmmm ... that's a great idea! But you better not blow it and get so excited that you forget to call me.
LH: 这我可不敢保证！
今天李华学了两个常用语。一个是push-over, 表示好欺负，好说话的人。另一是blow it, 意思是犯大错，把事情搞砸。

From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture(农业的）Report. Climate change has caused a rise in sea levels. This has increased the amount of salt in fresh water used on coastal farms. As a result farmers are increasingly unable to use fields close to the sea. Scientists call this process "salinization（盐渍化）." The term（术语）comes from the word "saline" （生理盐水）-- which means a mixture of salt and water. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says salinization is reducing the world's irrigated lands by 1 to 2 percent every year. Irrigation is the process of supplying land with fresh water from other areas. As saline water cannot be used for irrigation, a farm in Netherlands has managed to grow healthy and tasty vegetables in soil irrigated with salt water. But a farmer in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables.

英语四级复习计划
英语四级复习计划 英语四级复习计划 很多同学可能心中对新学期有了很多期待，除了扎实巩固专业课，英语四级考试可能也是新的目标。那么，如何合理利用复习时间，准备12月份的英语四级考试呢?首先我们要了解英语四级考试的题型，然后对症下药，各个击破! 作文跟词汇和语法都有很大关系，词汇决定了你作文内容的丰富程度，而语法决定了你作文的正确程度。平常可以有计划地每天背一些单词，日积月累词汇量就会增大很多。而语法除了有意识地看看语法书外，更重要的在于去运用，在阅读中分析句子的语法结构，并有意识地模仿。 当然，作文光说不练是不够的，可以从词汇、句型、段落、篇章布局四个角度，依据不同的文章体裁，分别准备。借鉴和模板可以，但不能依靠这些，否则作文就容易落入俗套，引起阅卷老师反感。多尝试自己去写，比如给自己规定每周一篇作文，把这一周学到的单词、句型结合起来，真正做到学以致用，到时候考试的时候这些内容就可以信手拈来。 听力的提高的是靠平时的练习，所以，在考前两三个月就要每天坚持听力练习，磨练自己的耳朵(去淘淘听力材料)。其实听力和口语也有很大关系，如果自己发音不准，口语不好，就不太容易听懂听力里面的说话形式，很可能听错、听不懂。所以平时
也可以多练习口语，熟悉不同的发音。建议平时精听和泛听相结合，分三阶段进行练习。 阶段一：9月-10月利用bbc、慢速美音和标准美音素材进行反复听写练习，熟悉各类语音、语调、语速，基础较为薄弱的同学可以从慢速voa开始。刚开始听的时候很容易被各类人名、地名或新闻事件专有名词所阻挠，这个时候一定要坚持下去，要相信努力就会有收获。 阶段二：11月继续进行bbc、voa听力练习的同时可以听一些流行美语、走遍美国、地道英语之类的听力节目，因为这些材料中对话部分是对生活情景的最佳分类，是积累听力考试对话场景词汇的最佳素材，而一些短小文章性的素材则有助于篇章对话与听写的提高。 阶段三：11月-12月这一个月是考前冲刺的关键时期，所以真题的演练必不可少。这一阶段可收集历年真题，按照由远到近的顺序，每周做两套真题听力。每次听力分三轮，第一轮：将没有听清楚和明白的地方标注出来。第二轮：第一轮中标注的地方仔细听，直到听懂，修改第一轮的答案。然后对照标准答案，错误地方的认真分析，标注。第三轮：边听边写下内容，可以先尝试短对话，再写写长对话，写完后对照原文，查漏补缺。另外，真题也是十分丰富的复习资料，可以重点背诵真体力常出现的核心词汇和常见场景。

VOA慢速英语阅读稿
No.1 This is the VOA Special English Education Report. A program in the eastern United States invites young people into a prison to try to scare them away from prison. The goal is to teach them to avoid bad choices and bad influences that could put them behind bars for life. Students can take a tour of the prison, in school groups or by themselves. At the end, the young people sit down for a discussion with some of the inmates. The program is called Prisoners Against Teen Tragedy, or PATT. It takes place at the Maryland Correctional Institution-Hagerstown, a medium-security prison for men. Sal Mauriello is a case specialist there. SAL MAURIELLO: "We have a group of eleven inmates who are in the PATT program. They tell the youth what they went through as a child, what their crimes consist of. They try to teach them about peer pressure. They try to teach them about bad choices." The Prisoners Against Teen Tragedy program also includes an essay-writing contest. Tomi Dare is a seventeen-year-old student at Hagerstown Community College. She saw an announcement for the contest on her college website. To enter, students had to write about peer pressure and why they do not do drugs. The prize: five hundred dollars for school. In her essay, Ms. Dare wrote about her own experience growing up as an African-American girl interested in sports. T OMI DARE: "Drugs and alcohol not only slow a person down, it doesn't make you feel like you are a winner. It doesn't make you feel like you are the best. As an athlete, I'm 6-2 [188 centimeters], so I feel that I should be above peer pressure because I'm bigger than everybody that I’m around. "So I was talking about that and I was talking about how I consider myself a queen. And if I’m royalty, I need to not put substances in my body. Drugs and alcohol are not what a queen should be taking." The scholarship is presented by the Prisoners Against Teen Tragedy program. Prison spokesman Mark Vernarelli says most teens who visit come to understand what even one bad decision can mean. MARK VERNARELLI: "A lot of men and women serving life in prison in the state of Maryland didn't pull a trigger or plunge a knife into anybody. They were accessories to a crime. They
