Super violent, super fast game.Greg: Hello, this is “Tech Trek,” and I’m your host, Greg McFee. Today we’re going to review three new video games that everyone’s talking about. First, there’s “The Butcher.” The player is an undercover cop who used to be a butcher. Imagine that. Super violent, super fast game.Jeff: My pleasure, Greg.Greg: So, Jeff. “The Butcher.” A lot of people are talking about your game, and most of them are saying it might be too violent.Jeff: Well, it is violent. I mean, it’s about a cop, who was once a butcher, who hunts down criminals. A lot of people think that video games like “The Butcher” actuallycause violence, that they’re a bad influenceon children.Jeff: Yeah, I hear that a lot. But I don’t know.To me, video games are just entertainment.I think people can tell the differencebetween a video game and real life.Greg: Even kids?Jeff: Even kids. I don’t think anyone isgoing to play “The Butcher” and then goout and make criminals into hamburger.You’re not going to become more violent ifyou play “The Butcher.”Greg: Maybe so, but …Jeff: In fact, I was reading the newspaper,and there are some scientists who thinkthat playing violent video games canactually make you less violent.Greg: Hmm. That’s interesting.Jeff: Yeah, they say that if you get all youranger and frustration out in a video game,you’ll be a lot more relaxed in your regularlife.Greg: So if you were a really angry person,it might be a good idea to play “TheButcher,” right? You could hack upcriminals for an hour, and then go on withthe rest of your day in a peaceful, happymood.Jeff: Exactly. Playing a video game might bebetter than meditating or seeing apsychiatrist, or anything like that.Greg: Anyway, thanks for joining us on“Tech Trek,” Jeff.Jeff: Any time.Unit 9:Listening TaskDialogue 1:A: Hi, little sister.

I wasin the Alaska Range climbing MountForaker with a couple of friends. Near theend of our trip, a storm moved in. Themountain just went crazy! It wasunbelievable. The rocks and snow startedfalling, and we were knocked 800 feet downthe side of the mountain. I don’t know whathappened after that because I passed out.Six hours later, I woke up. My shoulder wasbroken, and I was separated from myfriends and was just in a kind of daze. Ittook me three days to get to the bottom ofthe mountain. I had to keep my eyes openand just ignore the pain. But I finally made itto safety.2.Once, I really thought it was all over for me.It was a Sunday morning, May eighteenth tobe exact. I was camping with Marty, a friend,and we were about fifteen miles north of Mt.St. Helens, and we were packing up our tentwhen boom, when it erupted. Within minutes, nearly every tree around us had been ripped out of the ground. I was blown into a deep hole left by one of the trees.I pulled myself out of the hole, but then ice chunks started falling from the sky! Marty had been hurt pretty badly by a falling tree, so I had to get help. I made him a little shelter and then walked the rest of the day to find help. It was really painful because I was knee-deep in ashes almost the whole way. That night, an emergency helicopter finally saw me. I was never so thankful in my life.3.I’ll never forget the big earthquake in Turkey. It was the middle of the night, and I was sleeping, when I felt a sharp jolt. I sat up in bed like a bolt of lightning. The next thing I knew, I had fallen through the floor into a hole and things were hitting my head and body. It wasn’t long before I realized that the building had collapsed, on top of me.Real World ListeningI opened my eyes and looked down. Black filthy water covered the lower half of mybody. I couldn’t even see my legs. My arms,bare, scratched, bleeding, and aching, werewrapped around a palm tree. I was holdingon, leaning against the trunk. Black,oil-slicked, muddied water choked withdebris was everywhere. I looked up. Ilooked up. The sky was blue, clear,untroubled. The sun was shining. Wherewas I? Where was Simon? What hadhappened? I remembered.Simon and I were in the bungalow when arush of water rose up so suddenly therewas not even a second to think, a rush ofwater that came from all directions, hurtlingus out into the furious current. For one splitsecond, before the water separated us, Isaw Simon’s face. “Petra!” he sc reamed.“Petra! What’s happening?” I couldn’tanswer. I didn’t know. Then I lost sight ofhim. Seconds later, I saw him again,whirling in the tumbling waters. He was afew yards ahead of me. Behind him arooftop was sticking out of the water.“Catch the roof! Catch the roof!” I shouted.Then he was gone. I don’t know whether heheard me or not.I prayed that he would catch hold. I wassure he would. He was a strong swimmer.He had to be OK. It was impossible to tell inwhich direction the waters were streaming.I needed to grab onto something or beswept away. I saw another rooftop. Ireached out my arms, and sending outevery bit of energy I had, I grabbed theedges and held on. Instantly, my legs weresucked underneath, and everythingaccumulated by the raging water, the woodand metal objects, all the trash, beganslamming against my hips and legs.For the first time, I thought of dying.Miraculously, the pressure of the waterbegan to lessen. I pulled myself up onto theroof. My clothes had been torn from mybody. I was naked. Then, as quickly as thefirst, another tremendous wave rose up andpoured over the rooftop. I lost my grip andwas drawn down beneath the water. I hungon, screaming with pain and fear. I would becrushed into nothing. Frantically, I flailedmy arms, trying to get out from under thethick layer of filth between me and thesurface.Desperately, I fought to get some air until I had no breath left. I stopped fighting, stopped struggling, and began swallowing the inky water. A great feeling of peacefulness came over me. I surrendered to the calmness. Whatever was meant to be, whatever God will decide, it’s OK. At that moment, without any effort on my part, I was thrust through the barrier of debris to the surface. I threw my head back and gasped for air. Above me was the blue, blue sky. I was never so happy in my life to see the sky.。
