今天我们开始播送[ 流行美语] 。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50 ，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和chill 。
M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。
M: Yeah, I'm really bummed that I have to get up so early! I'm also bummed out that Dr.
Johnson is teaching this class. I've heard she's really tough.
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
L: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是bummed ，或者是bummed out ，意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？
M: I'm really bummed that I have to get up so early! I'm also bummed out that Professor
Johnson is teaching this class.
L: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴，Johnson 博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受，对不对?
M: Ha ha. Very funny. But you are right, if I got turned down for a date I'd be bummed. I'm also bummed that summer vacation is over.
L: 嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到bummed
out 。
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let's go to the student center and relax after class.
L: 我当然知道Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。
M: Glad class is over! I'm ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven't had a chance
to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.
L: 什么？你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
L: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会chill out ，到底
是什么意思？
M: I said: "I haven't had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。
那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？
M: You normally go someplace calm and peaceful where you can relax. I like to chill out at the cafe with a book sometimes. And I know that you like to chill at the museum.
L: 打棒球不能说是chill out 。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。每个人还不一样，你
喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去chill out?
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
L: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去chill out 。
M: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry
that I have to go, I'm really bummed to have to leave you!
L: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。
M: Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends'. See you later!
L: 我今晚在朋友家肯定会玩得很高兴，Bye!
Michael 和李华在对话里用了两个常用语，一个是：bummed 或者是bummed out, 意思是不高兴，烦恼；另一个是：chill 或者是chill out, 意思是休息，放松，或者玩。
第 2 课：ditch 和to hit the spot
今天李华和Michael在对话里使用的两个常用语，一个是：to ditch，另一个是：to hit the spot 现在Michael 正在图书馆里做功课，李华来找他。
L: 嗨，Michael ，功课做得怎么样了？
M: I can't think. It's too noisy. Let's ditch this place.
L: 你没法动脑筋，因为这儿太闹。你还说什么来啦？Ditch this place ，什么意思呀？
M: Ditch! To ditch means to quickly leave a place you no longer want to be.
L: 噢，to ditch 就是你不想再呆在那个地方，想赶快离开。你的意思就是要马上离开图书馆。
不对啊，ditch 这个字不是可以解释为地上挖的沟吗？你说的ditch 是同一个字？M: Yes, it is. Same word, same spelling, but a different meaning.
L: 原来是同一个字，同样拼法，但意思不同。噢, Michael, 再举个例子给我听，好吗？
M: If we want to get away from someone you could say, "Let's ditch him," which means to leave someone behind.
L: 你的意思是to ditch 不仅可以指地方，还能指人。上次我们跟Mary 一起去看电影，看完电影我们俩没跟Mary 打招呼就走了，这就可以说：We ditched Mary ，对不对？M: That's correct.
L: 要是你干活干腻了，不想干了，那该说...
M: To ditch work.
L: 不想去开会。。。
M: To ditch the meeting. You can also say: to ditch the concert.
L: 我知道，那是不想去音乐会。要是和朋友约好了，可是又不想去了，那该怎么说呀？
M: To ditch my friend. Hey, can we ditch the library now! I am really tired and could use some coffee.
L: Ok, ok 。让我们离开这图书馆吧。你累了，想喝咖啡。走，去校园外的那个咖啡馆吧。
L: 好，咖啡馆到了。
M: Yep, here's the coffee shop. Li Hua, what do you want, my treat this time.
L: 你请我啊？那太好了。我要一杯咖啡就行了。
M: Sounds good. Two coffees please. Here's your coffee, Li Hua.
L: Thanks!
M: No problem. Oh, so hot! Be careful. Good coffee, really hits the spot. I feel more awake now.
L: 对，咖啡是不错，你已经觉得清醒点儿啦！我可不信咖啡的作用就那么快！对了，刚才你说: " It really hits the spot? To hit the spot 不是击中要害吗？你刚才说的好象不是这个
意思。你怎么老是说一些怪里怪气的话。
M: Hit the spot means to satisfy one's need. I really needed some coffee earlier so it really hit the spot.
L: 原来hit the spot 就是满足一个人的需要。你刚才很想喝咖啡，喝了就感到非常过隐，很痛快。Hit the spot 是哪三个字组成的？
M: Hit-the-spot. For example, if you are hungry and go eat you could say, "That food really hit the spot."
L: 中文里也有这个说法。肚子非常饿的时候去吃饭。吃饱了就感到心满意足。洗个热水澡真痛快，那该怎么说？
M: A hot bath would hit the spot.
L: 吃个汉堡包真过隐，该怎么说？
M: A burger would hit the spot. Let's go, I'm hungry.
L: 好家伙，喝了咖啡，又肚子饿了，要去吃汉堡包。这回我可不奉陪了，I have to ditch you now. 再见了！
M: Ok. Bye. 再见。
Michael 和李华在对话中用了to ditch 和to hit the spot. To ditch 表示要离开某个人，因为你不想跟他在一起了；或表示要马上离开一个不想再呆的地方。To hit the spot 是感到过隐，觉得很痛快。这次[ 流行美语] 就播讲到这里。下次节目再见

M: Hey, Li Hua, Come on in. How're you doing?
L: 我挺好。你怎么样？对了, 你下午想干什么？
M: Ah, I've got a meeting with the big guns this afternoon. They want to talk to me about continuing to work here after graduation.
L: 我听懂了你后面的一句话，他们要跟你谈关于毕业后回来工作的事。那真是太好了。可是，你刚才说今天下午要跟谁开会？
M: Yea, I 'm meeting with my bosses. Sometimes we call them the big guns of the office.
L: 噢，你要跟你的几个老板开会。你们把老板叫做the big guns!
M: It's an expression that can be used to describe powerful people.
L：噢，那是指权力很大的人，也就是大人物。那么，总统的顾问能称为big guns 吗？
M: Yes, a president's advisors are big guns. But it can also be used in sports. In soccer the stars of a team are the big guns.

M: OK, let me show you around the rest if the office.
L: 你要带我去看看这公司的大楼，那太好了。Let's go!
M: This is the conference room. We had a meeting here yesterday on our plan for a new building. The project leader quarterbacked the meeting.
L: 等等，你说这是会议室，你们昨天在这里开了一个会，讨论盖一栋新楼的计划。可是，你还说那项目主任是踢美式足球的，是quarterback ，四分卫，对不对？
M: No, no, no! Quarterback here is a verb, meaning to lead. The word quarterback is borrowed from American football, where the quarterback leads the team.
L: 噢，quarterback 在这里是动词，意思是领导。你说这里的quarterback 是从美式足球里借来用的，因为quarterback 在球队里是主力。你刚才是怎么说的？
M: The project leader quarterbacked the meeting.
L: 现在我听清楚了，你刚才说的是：项目领导人主持会议。
那么，to quarterback 还能用在别处吗？
M: To quarterback is business slang. If someone is responsible for a group working on a new project that individual is quarterbacking the team.
L: 知道了，to quarterback 是用在商业方面的。要是某人负责一个新项目，这个人就是在领导这个项目的小组。要是某人在一个法律事务所主持会议，那该怎么说呢？
M: Someone quarterbacked the meeting at the law firm.
L: 你们公司的一位重要领导主持会议，讨论公司的收入报告，这又该怎么说？
M: The company's big gun quarterbacked the meeting about their revenue report. Hey, I need to get back to work. I'll call you later .
L: 好吧，那就再见吧！希望你将来成为 a big gun.
M: Oh, yea, I'm sure soon I'll be quarterbacking every meeting and every project.
L: 你真的当真呐！还想主持所有会议，总管所有项目。得啦，再见吧！
Michael 和李华在对话中用了两个常用语，一个是：the big guns ，意思是大人物，对决策有重大影响的人；另一个是：to quarterback ，意思是主持会议，或总管项目。这次[ 流行美语]就播讲到这里。下次节目再见.

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.

1．Three university students in Santiago,Chile have developed a phant-powerd device to charge their mobile phones.The three engineering students got the idea for the device while sitting in their school’s courtyard.Their invention is a small biological circuit they call E-Kaia.It captures the energy plants produce during photosynthesis.Aphant uses only a small part of the energy produced by that process,The rest goes into the soil.E-Kaia collects that energy.The device plugs into the ground and then into a mobile phone.The E-Kaia solved two problems for the engineering studnts,They needed an idea for a class project.They also needed an outlet to plug in their phones.One of the student inventors,CamilaRupcich,says the device charges the energy released from the plant into low-level power to charge phones.The E-Kaia is able to fully recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.I’m Jonathan Evans. 2．University of Washington researchers say they used a laser to turn hot water into cool water. Five engineers from the university are the first in the 50-year history of the laser to refrigerate liquids under normal conditions with light beams. The group used a simple approach to the experiment. Lasers are known for producing hot temperatures. The University of Washington says they “essentially ran the laser phenomenon in reverse.” The discovery has a future in the computer and medical fields. Computer interiors could be cooled by lasers. In a medical laboratory, individual cells could be cooled to see how they react. “Few people have thought about how they could use this technology to solve problems because using lasers to refrigerate liquids hasn’t been possible before,” said researcher Peter Pauzauskie.The cool laser concept can also be used in manufacturing, telecommunications or national defense.The group has an interest in hearing from businesses or scientists who may have every day applications for the cool laser. The findings were published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I’m Marsha James. 3．The United States is marking the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. U.S. officials and many other Americans attended observances Friday to remember those killed and their loved ones. Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001 when hijackers used four passenger airplanes to carry out suicide attacks in the United States. In addition to the victims, the 19 hijackers also were killed. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his group claimed responsibility for the attacks. U.S. forces killed him in a surprise raid on his hiding place in Pakistan four years ago. Friday morning, President Barack Obama, his wife and White House workers observed a public moment of silence in Washington. They gathered on the White House grounds at 8:46. That was the exact time when a hijacked airplane struck the World Trade Center. In New York, families of the victims gathered for a ringing of bells and reading of the names of those killed in the terrorist attacks. Moments of silence were held at 8:46 and 9:03 in the morning, when a second hijacked plane also hit the World Trade Center. Near Washington, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other officials attended an observance at the Pentagon, the home of the Defense Department. They joined in remembering those killed when a hijacked airplane hit the Pentagon, killing 184 people. Earlier Friday, a large American flag was hung down the side of the Pentagon, where the passenger jet hit. There also was a moment of silence at 10:03 a.m. That was the time when a fourth hijacked plane crashed in western Pennsylvania. All 44 people on the plane were killed. Many Americans believe the hijackers had planned to attack a target in the nation’s

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。

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

By VOA 22 July, 2015 From VOA Learning English, this is the Education Report. International students and workers must take a standardized test of English to move into higher levels of education and employment. There are three popular tests that universities or employers can use. They are the Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL, the Test of English for International Communication, TOEIC, and the International English Language Testing System, IELTS. In most cases, the choice is clear. A student applying to a school learns which test the program requires. However, some programs or universities will accept scores from any of the international tests of English. Then, a student may choose which test to take. The TOEIC tests workplace communication The Educational Testing Service, ETS, in Princeton, New Jersey, develops and administers both the TOEFL and the TOEIC. It says the TOEIC measures the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment. A TOEFL preparation class The TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry asked ETS to develop a test for corporations to use. They wanted to know if non-native English speakers could carry out business in English. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting. Organizations sometimes use the TOEIC to measure progress in English training programs. They also use it to consider people for placement at the right level in language programs. ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC. The TOEFL tests English used in the classroom There are several versions of the TOEFL. Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions. Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS's institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.

By Dana Demange 2011-10-4 STEVE EMBER: I'm Steve Ember. BARBARA KLEIN: And I'm Barbara Klein with EXPLORATIONS in VOA Special English. At the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. you might see two cowboy boots. They are painted with a design of clouds and stars. They look like boots that you could wear on your feet. But they are really made out of carefully formed clay material. The artist William Wilhelmi made these ceramic pieces. How did he make these colorful boots? Today, we answer that question as we explore the world of clay art. (MUSIC) Smithsonian American Art Museum William Wilhelmi made "Cowboy Boots" in 1980. STEVE EMBER: Clay is one of the most universal materials known to humans. Throughout history and around the world, people have developed the art of forming clay to make ceramic objects, or pottery. Clay is m ade of water and earth. It is formed into different shapes. The n high levels of heat harden it to produce many kinds of ceramics. Different kinds of clay contain different minerals such as silicon or iron dioxide. The kinds of minerals in clay affect how soft or hard it is to work with. The mineral content of clay also affects the temperature level at which it hardens.
