Audio Track 3-5-1
A: You’re majoring in international business law, is that correct?
B: That’s correct.
A: And what made you choose this university?
B: Well, I want to be a lawyer and this university has one of the most respected law departments in the country. It was an easy choice. What about you?
A: My major is international business. I researched several universities but decided on this one because it has strong links with many multinational businesses. I hope that will help when I graduate and start looking for jobs.
B: How did you find the application process?
A: Well, I had to take an entrance examination, of course. Then, I submitted an application form along with my official high school transcripts and a letter of recommendation.
B: And did you get accepted immediately?
A: No, I had to attend an interview. I remember I was very nervous.
B: It was exactly the same for me. But we must have interviewed well as we’re here now. Listening Activity 1: Audio Track 3-5-2/Audio Track 3-5-3
C=Counselor, K=Kai
C: Hello, Kai. Have a seat.
K: Hi, Ms. Danielson.
C: How’s it going? Are you excited about graduating?
K: I guess so. But there’s so much to do between now and then.
C: Well, let’s talk about that … Let me check your file here. So, what’s new? Have you researched any colleges or universities?
K: Well, I researched three … like you told me to.
C: Good, good. Which ones?
K: Let’s see … California State University, Harvard University, and City College.
C: And?
K: Well, I applied to two: Harvard and City College. Cal State is just too far away.
C: Sounds like you’ve been thinking about this seriously. That’s good.
K: Yep.
C: Any news yet?
K: Well, I got accepted to City College. I haven’t heard anything from Harvard. I probably won’t get accepted there.
C: Why do you say that?
K: You know … it’s so competitive. I don’t think my grades are good enough.
C: Well, let’s wait and see.
K: I’ll probably go to City College. My brother went there. I visited the campus and I like it.

Lucia: And finally today, we have a report about graduating seniors. Jason Kim is standing by. …Jason, are you there?
Jason: Hi, Lucia.
Lucia: The Metro Times newspaper asked college seniors, “What are you going to do after you graduate?”
Jason: That’s right, Lucia. The students gave some surprising answers, too.
Lucia: For example …?
Jason: Well, more than 50 percent of the students say that they aren’t going to start a new job right away.
Lucia: Well, what are their future plans?
Jason: Let’s ask some of them. … Excuse me.
Mizuki: Yes?
Jason: I’m Jason Kim from XCA-TV. Your name, please?
Mizuki: Mizuki.
Jason: And what are you studying?
Mizuki: Art.
Jason: OK, Mizuki, what are you going to do after you graduate?
Mizuki: I don’t know. I’ll probably just chill out for a while.
Jason: Chill out?
Mizuki: You know, relax.
Jason: OK, Mizuki. Thanks for your comments. … Hello, I’m Jason Kim and we’re doing a live report. What’s your name and major?
Ro bert: My name is Robert and I’m studying law.
Jason: What are you going to do after you graduate?
Robert: I don’t know … maybe I’ll take a long trip.
Jason: What about a job?
Robert: Work? Maybe one of these days. But first I’d like to take a trip.
Jason: Thank you, Robert, and good luck. Well, that’s all for now. This has been Jason Kim, with my report on college seniors. Now, back to you, Lucia …
Listening Activity 3: Audio Track 3-5-6
1. Hi, I’m Eduardo. I got accepted to college recently. Since the s chool is just in my neighborhood, I’m going to live at home. I will not apply for a scholarship because it is too hard to get it. I think I’ll be able to support myself by working part-time. In my view, money is very
important though it is not everything.
So most probably I’ll study business. I hope I can make it big after graduation.
2. I’m Jill. I’m going to join a sorority. I want to make more friends of the same sex. I think that women should be united and should always help each other. I’m going to d o volunteer work in my spare time to help those elderly ladies in the community with their errands. I’m not going to a large university since I can’t afford it.
3. I’m Max and this is Sara. We love each other. We’re not going to live in student housing. We plan to live in a medium-size apartment not far away from the university. We’re going to study together and work part-time.
Audio Track 3-5-7
I’m Mary and I’m twenty. I’m studying Lifelong Education at the University of Tokyo. I think it’s important f or everyone to keep learning all their lives. That’s why I chose to major in Lifelong Education. Personally, I’m planning to further my education in an American university after graduation. So right now, I’m taking an English class. I want to improve my English. I’m working part-time at a video store because I need to save money for my studies abroad.
I have a boyfriend and he wants to go and study in the United States too. We have similar interests and personalities. I’m going to get married and live in a house by the ocean. Sooner or later, I’ll have my own children. I will most probably stay at home to be a full-time mother before my children are sixteen years old. To witness their growth would be the most valuable thing in my life.

New graduates talk about the future
After the City College graduation ceremony yesterday, we talked to three students about their plans and their dreams.
Here is what Jameela Brown had to say about her future:
I worked so hard for four years. I need a break now! I majored in biology and chemistry, and I had
a summer jo
b in a day care center. I’m going to take a year off before I start medical school. My plan is to travel and do volunteer work in West Africa. I’ll be a doctor someday but I’m not sure what kind of doctor I’ll be.
Jennie Min talked about her plans:
I studied business, and it was easy for me to find a job. Next month I’ll move to New York to start work at Giant Corporation. But I don’t really want to spend my whole life working for a company.
I hope I can start my own business. Maybe something with food. I love cooking! In college, I cooked dinner for my roommates every night.
Shane Peterson told us about his big dream:
Wow! Four years really went fast. I c an’t believe it’s graduation day! My major was computer science, but I spent all my free time playing music. I played guitar in two different bands. I also play electronic music, using computers. I have job interviews with three software companies next
wee k. I’m not worried about getting a job, but I really want to play music, too. That’s my biggest dream.
Listening Activity 5: Audio Track 3-5-10/Audio Track 3-5-11
Interviewer: We now have a winner! Stephanie Lee from Vancouver, Canada answered our ques tions and won the top prize: She will be our youth travel reporter in Europe! She’s going to travel for three months and write about her experiences for our website. Do you have any international travel experience?
Stephanie: Yes, I do. Two years ago, I spent the summer in Hong Kong, China. I stayed with my grandmother and worked in the family business. I also visited Africa last year.
Interviewer: What do your travel experiences tell us about you?
Stephanie: I stayed in Hong Kong for about two months. I think that shows I can stay away from home for a long time. I don’t get homesick at all. In Africa, I went to Tanzania. The highlight was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s the highest mountain in Africa. The climb was very hard. Two people turned back before they reached the top. I made it all the way! Once I start something, I never give up.
Interviewer: This job gives you a digital camera and pays your travel expenses. It doesn’t pay a salary. How will you get your spending money?
Stephanie: I had a part-time job in a restaurant. I had worked there for two years. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money, so I won’t have to worry about money for my trip to Europe. Interviewer: Why should we choose you?
Stephanie: Because I love to travel! I’m a hard worker a nd will have no trouble filing reports on time — and I have a lot of energy!

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Unit 6 Traveling and Sightseeing Thinking Ahead Students are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below: 1. Do you like traveling? Where have you been before? Yes, I do. I have been to quite a lot of places, Mountain Tai, the Great Wall, Korea and Singapore, among which, Singapore impresses me the most for its combination of both a prosperous society and city of natural beauty. Believe me: you can never forget this country once you take a deep breath of fresh air there. 2. How to make a reservation in the hotel? Firstly, you should make it clear when you want to check in, how long you are supposed to stay there. Then, you should tell what kind of room and how many rooms you want. The last but not the least is that, you must leave your name and maybe your contact number, which will surely help you a lot afterwards. 3. What should you pay attention to when at table abroad? mind your manners at table; pay attention to your words and gestures; handle your knives and forks correctly; never talk with your mouth full; never make sounds when you’re eating or drinking something. Part I Video Time In this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish. Task 1 In task 1,students will watch a video clip from The Beach and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video. Transcript First Visit to Bangkok My name is Richard.

新视野大学英语视听说教程1原文及答案Unit6
II. Listening Skills Listening to People Talk About Health 1.M: I haven’t been to see my doctor for a very long time. I’m worried that he’ll be angry with me for not having a physical examination for so long. W: Which is more important, the doctor’s feelings or your health? You’d better go if you want to make sure everything is all right with you. It seems that the man worries more about the doctor’s feelings than his own health. 2.W: Oh, I’ve got a cold. I’m not used to the cold weather, and it often gets the best of me. What I need now is some good medicine. M: The best medicine is to keep healthy. I promise you that if you get involved with some sort of physical exercise, you’ll get sick a lot less. Why don’t you try joining a gym? The woman catches cold easily and believes in taking some good medicine, but the man thinks physical exercise is more important. 3.W: Exams are coming up soon. I’ve been so busy with schoolwork that I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping. M: School is important, but so is your health. Maybe you should talk to a doctor. Doctors see people all the time for this very problem. They can help you. The woman has been so busy with schoolwork that she has had difficulty sleeping. The man believes that health is important that she should see a doctor. 4. M: Do you mind if I have a cigarette before we eat? W: Well, actually, I do. If you don’t mind, could you smoke outside? If you want to poison your body and shorten your life, that’s your business. But as for me, I want to live long and healthy. The woman asks the man to smoke outside because she wants to live long and healthy. She believes second-hand smoke causes cancer too. 5. W: Robert, when we last talked, you promised there would be less television and junk food, and more exercise in your life. But now you’re becoming quite overweight. M: I know it’s bad, but I really like watching TV. After all we should enjoy ourselves while we are young. W: But you’re risking your health watching TV so much. M: Oh, yes: heart trouble, high blood pressure. But I’d rather die than give up TV. The man once promised he would watch TV less, eat less junk food and have more exercise. But he believes it is more important to enjoy himself, although the woman says he’s risking his health watching TV so much. III. Listening In Task 1: Diets If you’re a young lady in your twenties, you may be either on a diet or wondering which diet to follow. Indeed, people are so concerned with their appearance that the word “diet”has lost its original meaning. It now has the same meaning as “weight loss diet”. There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure. Them came Twiggy, a British supermodel most famous in the 1960s, and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig. Because of this trend, many diets have become popular. It is not uncommon to meet young girls who look weak enough to be blown away in the wind, yet they are still talking about diets! However, extreme diets can lead to health problems. Many such dieters may end up with very serious disorders. Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite; Karen Carpenter, a popular singer of the 1970s, died of the less of appetite. You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at he risk of your health and life. Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good. 1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 5.C Task 2: Culture Shock (D=Doctor; S=Student) D: Hello, I’m Dr. Black. How’re you feeling? S: I’m not feeling well, doctor.

Unit One Tr a ck 4-1-O L-l A. Jay and Elise are talking about an accident. Listen and check the correct picture. Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show! Elise: What is it? Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit.

T r a c k4-1-O L-4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. T r a c k4-1-O L-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.
