I’m planning our trip to New York.I’d prefer to come in September, but your father wants to come during the holidays.Now you tell him…M: Wait a minute, I can’t stand sending messages. Can you hold on a second? I’m going to try to connect you two… Hello? Is everybody here?F: Yeah, I’m here… Oh… this is what I call a family reunion!M:Yeah!W: Shh! Do you mind?

Oh, I hope I get that good someday.R: You will, if you stick with it.C: How long have you been playing the guitar?R: I’ve been playing since I was a teenager, but I’ve only really been studying it seriously for about a year. How long did you say you’ve been playing the flute? C: Like I said, I took lessons when I was a kid, but I hated it. I started playing about two months ago and I’m really enjoying it this time. But like I told you---- I’m not very good yet.R: Well, have you been practicing? “Practice makes perfect.”C: I practice sometimes, but I have trouble doing it at home. Tara and Sun-hee have both studying a lot lately, and they keep telling me they need peace and quiet. So there’s nowhere for me to practice.R: Well, don’t worry. That’s what we’re going to do today, and remember---- you canalways come and play here.C: Thanks.R: Ready to try one?C: Sure!R: Ah… let’s see… How about this one?C: Uh… that looks a little difficult.R: OK. Let’s see… Have you ever played this one?C: Uh… nope, I’ve never played it… and probably never will. It looks a little tough. R: Hmm, Do you know this one?C: That one?R: Yeah.C: Yeah, I know it, but can I play it? Hey! I do have one I’ve been practicing lately. R: This one? OK. I haven’t played it in years. It was one of my favorites.C: Ah…R: Shall we?C: A one, a two, a three…Unit 8 Looking for Mr. RightS: Tara, are you still reading the personal ads?T: Yep.S: You know those ads will never help you find a relationship.T: Yes, they will! I’ve already been on three dates.S: Yeah. And you’re still looking…T: Well, it’s just that I haven’t found the right person yet.S: I don’t get it. You’ve been on three unsuccessful dates, and you still think it’s a good idea. Why?T: Well, for one thing, I wouldn’t say all my dates have been completely unsuccessful. I may not have met “Mr. Right” yet, but I’ve still had fun.S: Yeah, but you can have fun anywhere. You don’t need to go searching through a news paper for “Mr. Right.”T: Sun-hee, it can happen! My friend Karen just got engaged to a man she met through the personals, and she dated lots of men before she met him.S: And that means…T: Never give up. Ooh! Here’s one: “Romantic, handsome, well-built male looking for attractive female for casual dating.”S: He’s probably a total Romeo…“Romantic”…“casual dating”… there’s no way he’s sincere.T: Stop it! Hey, here’s one: “A re you attracted to intelligence? Do you enjoy a good personality? Are good looks important, but looks aren’t everything?”S: Hmm…“good personality…“looks aren’t everything”… sounds like he might not be too cute.T: Why do you say that? You’ve never even met him?S: Well, first of all, he’s writing about his “good personality” and “intelligence.” And second of all, he’s saying that looks shouldn’t be important for the person he dates,which probably means he’s not that attractive.T: You are so fussy! No wonder you haven’t tried dating through the personal yet.S: If you must know, I did answer a personal ad… once.T: Yeah? What happened?S: We went out for dinner, and all he did was talk about himself---- and his old girlfriend! Oh, it was awful!T: OK, that does sound terrible, but they’re not all bad.S: Hmm…maybe you’re right. Let’s see, what else do you have here?... Here’s one: “Intelligent female seeks interesting Sunday afternoon activity other than sitting at home reading silly personal. Really in Brad Pitt. Feels like seeing his new movie…”T: All right. Let’s go.版权所有严禁传播。

Write T for true or F for false. Creating spacesJin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard, "Of course, I came here for the academics,” she says. But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk around sometimes just to relax."Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. “I never get bored. The park is so big. I can always find a different pat h with a new view.”Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. “The footpaths allow you to get a wonderful view. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your face.”What do these three places--Stanford University, Central Park, and Niagara Falls State Park--all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822--1903) has been called the "father oflandscape architecture."In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some community leaders became worried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Olmsted and his partner, Cavert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. In the late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. Members of the movement wanted to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. Despite opposition and pressures from business to industrialize the area, Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area. Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara FallsState Park, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Frederick Law Olmsted say to all this?Track 3-2-OL-8C. Listen again.

My children are five and eleven now. But I still remember when they were young.Ellie: What can I do?Lee: Well, remember that it will pass. … It won’t last forever. Try to be patient.Audio Track 3-3-3/ Audio Track 3-3-4Mandy: My homework assignment is too hard.Mom: What is it?Mandy: I’m doing an oral report on an accomplished woman. I chose Sadako Ogata. I have to present it to the class tomorrow.Mom: Do you know the material?Mandy: I think so.Mom: OK, let’s practice. I’ll ask you some question s.Mandy: OK.Mom: All right then, just why is Sadako Ogata well known?Mandy: She worked for the United Nations as the High Commissioner on Refugees.

When I’m 23, I may come home to look for a job. Most probably in a bank or an accounting firm. After working for 4 to 5 years, I may have some savings to start a family. At the age of 30, I’d like to be a father. If everything goes smoothly,I’ll retire at the age of 50 and travel around the world.Audio Track 3-3-6Hi Jackie,I’m so excited about visiting you! Here are the details. My plane arrives on Friday at 2 p.m. When I get to the airport, I’ll take a taxi, so I’ll arrive at your house at about 3:00. That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had their twentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping with life’s st ressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful. Stressful events in our lives are called “stressors.” Some of them are minor, such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious, such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life’s most stressful event.You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress.

Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said that Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。

Then we can use it again on our next vacation.Audio Track 3-1-8/Audio Track 3-1-9Tips for better packingAre you planning to travel for a weekend or several months, around the country or overseas? Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1. Pre-trip planning: • Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Review it about a week before your trip. • Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. • Don’t pack the night before you travel. You will forget things when you’re in a hurry.2. Tagging luggage: • Before packing, put name tags on valuable items like cameras and cell phones. • Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-ons, has a luggage tag on it. • If you know your hote l’s address and phone number, put it on your luggage tags.3. Saving space: • Pack small items (socks, belts, etc.) inside your shoes. It uses the empty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. • Pack your clothes in plastic bags. • If you are travel ing with a friend, plan your packing together. Share your alarm clock, toothpaste, or first aid kit.4. Your carry-on bag: • The most important items for your trip (passport, plane tickets, traveler’s checks, credit cards, keys, etc.) should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. • Keep your carryon bag small and light. Put bulky, heavy items in your check-in luggage. • Use soft bags, such as backpacks or shoulder bags, for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat, or into small overhead compartments.5. Other ideas: • Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. • Remember to pack a few rubber bands, safety pins and plastic bags. They can be very useful. • Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit. You can eat them if you don’t have time for a meal. Sharing food is a great way to meet other travelers.Audio Track 3-1-10/Audio Track 3-1-11/Audio Track 3-1-12Going solo is the way to go!How do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family?Have you ever imagined “going solo”? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased. You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that’s not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedule.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the timeto learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to “vacation college” at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It’s hard but satisfying work. You can “play scientist” for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options. There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining —there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don’t you consider goin g solo?Bon voyage!Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 3-1-131. I’m going to miss my flight. I have to hurry.2. Everyone has to sit down before this plane can take off.Audio Track 3-1-14/Audio Track 3-1-15Esther: We have to leave in thirty minutes. Have you finished packing?Mina: Yes, I have …Esther: You look worried. What’s wrong?Mina: I can’t remember where I put my passport.Esther: Oh, no!Mina: It’s here somewhere.Esther: When did you last have it?Mina: About ten minutes ago. Let me thi nk … Oh, there it is. I put it on the dresser.Esther: What a relief!Audio Track 3-1-16A: OK, that’s everything. We really should leave for the airport. Let’s get going.B: Oh, no! I forgot to change money.A: Don’t worry. We still have two hours befor e the flight. We can do it at the airport.B: What a relief! Let’s go.Audio Track 3-1-17We’ve decided to take these six items: the tent, some bottled water, the lighter, a map, a compass and a cell phone. The reasons are as follows.One. We’ll take the tent for shelter. We all agree a tent is ideal for camping in the forest.Two. We’ll also take some bottled water as we cannot be sure if the water in the forest is safe to drink.Three. We think it is very useful to bring a lighter. We can make a fire for barbecuing food and to keep us warm.Four. We all think a map is a must. We will need it to plan our route in and out of the forest. Five. We think it best to take a compass as it will help us navigate which way we are walking. We don’t want to get lost.Last and most important of all, we agree we’d better take a cell phone. We would use it to call someone if we encountered an emergency —it’s better to be safe than sorry.Video CourseVideo Track 3-1-1Dave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend. Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Video Track 3-1-2Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the US for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn’t speak a word of English. I had t o use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life. This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it’s very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn’t really know where we were going to go. We didn’t really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, “Let’s go there” and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving … I think … she was serving food … and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance …and her hand landed on the guy’s head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were onhis forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you’re not allowed to laugh …Video Track 3-1-3Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

While Sun-hee was talking to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara had some trouble preparing for the trip. First, Tara couldn’t find her bag and then Claudia didn’t know where her ticket was. Things got worse when Claudia couldn’t find her money and cell phone. But Sun-hee helped them out. She seemed to be totally relaxed because she had already finished getting ready. Sun-hee told Mike about all the errands she had done earlier that day. She had confirmed her flight, got traveler’s checks, changed her voicemail message, and paid the bills. Finally, Tara and Claudia were ready to go and Sun-hee checked to be sure they had everything. However, after they left, Sun-hee soon came running back in. Why? She had forgotten to take her ticket and passport!。

There are many side effects of getting a tattoo. For one thing, using unclean needles that are not sterilized properly for tattoos may lead to contracting diseases, such as HIV. Tattoos also look very unprofessional. If a student walks into an interview with a tattoo on his or her neck, it may lower their chances of getting the job. Some people may even think tattoos are disgusting. Tattoos may also be particularly unattractive and ugly-looking on females.Besides, tattoos are permanent and are not easy to get rid of. When they get old, the tattoos look like a mess.So no matter what reasons there might be for getting a tattoo, young people must always remember the consequences and risks. They shouldn’t get one unless they really want t o keep it ontheir body forever and are willing to live with the consequences.Audio Track 3-8-9/ Audio Track 3-8-10(Speaker 1: Rachel Levine)I’m Rachel Levine. I’m a psychologist.In my view, the Internet has caused problems in dating. Some people think the Internet will help them find love a lot faster. But even if you have a great relationship online, you stillhave to meet face to face. And then the relationship often doesn’t work.(Speaker 2: Carman Torres)I’m Carman Torres. I’m 26 years old.I think high-tech dating doesn’t work, because you can’treally judge things like looks, personality, and sincerity online. On the computer a person can tell you all of theirgreat qualities, and leave out the bad points. So you can waste a lot of time meet ing guys that you really don’t get along with.(Speaker 3: Tina Gunderson)I’m Tina Gunderson. I’m 29 years old.I know Internet dating is really popular, but I’ve never tried it. I think the best way to meet a boyfriend is at your job.You can get to know a person very well in a relaxed way, withno pressure, because you’re not dating. You can learn abouthis personality because you spend a lot of time together. Youwill find out about his family, his interests, and his sense of humor. Best of all, you can ask other people’s opinion of him, and get advice from your friends. You can’t get all this online.Audio Track 3-8-11/ Audio Track 3-8-12Interviewer: Do you want to go on a date Are you still singleSo are these people! We ask them two questions: The first question is “How did you recently try to meet someone” The second question is “How would you like to meet someone” After you have listened to their responses, you may realize something: Meeting someone special can be a challenge anywhere! Now, Deepak, tell me how did you recently try to meet someone？Deepak: Well, I went to a “speed dating” event in London. There is a long table. Boys sit on one side and girls sit onthe other. You talk to the person sitting across from you.After three minutes a bell rings, and you move on the nextperson. You check off the names of the people you like. It was fun, but three minutes is too short! I didn’t make any matches. Interviewer: And how would you like to meet someone？Deepak: I’d like to have someone introduce me to a nice girl.I don’t like casual dating. Maybe I’m too traditional, but that’s how I am.Interviewer: OK, now let’s turn to Nina. Nina, how did you recently try to meet someone？Nina: Well, I grew up in a small town before I moved to the big city. Back home, there was a guy I was attracted to, but Inever talked to him. Recently, I’ve tried to meet men here,but I’m still too shy.Interviewer: And how would you like to meet someone？Nina: I think it’s more relaxing to go out in a big group. I want to meet someone when I’m out with a group of friends.That feels more natural and not so stressful.Interviewer: Good. Kaleo, what’s your experience of meeting someone special？Kaleo: I met a woman at work. I asked her out, but it caused problems. I need to find a new place for meeting women. Interviewer: Then how would you like to meet someone？Kaleo: I think looks are important, but I want to meet someone with common interests. I love waterskiing and surfing. Myfriend says that Internet dating is fun. You can read all about the other person before you contact her. That might work for me. Interviewer: Wish you good luck. Now, Fumiko, tell us how didyou recently try to meet someone？Fumiko: I went to a kind of “matchmaking party.” There arethe same number o f boys and girls at the party. It’s not very romantic. And when I attended, the drinks were very expensive! Interviewer: Really, then how would you like to meet someone？Fumiko: I’d like to meet someone by myself in a romantic way. Imagine this: There is a huge rainstorm. A handsome stranger shares his umbrella with you. You and he fall in love. I knowit sounds crazy, but that’s my fantasy.Audio Track 3-8-131. Joan interviewed Debra, Marla, Brad, and Yasmin.2. The winner will receive a diamond ring, a new sports car,and $50,000.3.

I’ve already waited for two years. Now I’m ready!Tyler: I don’t think you should get one.Chris: Why notTyler: Well, for one thing, it’s going to hurt.Chris: I know. That’s what everyone says.Tyler: For another, tattoos aren’t easy to remove. What happens if you change your mindChris: You sound like my mom. She’s not very happy about my decision either.Audio Track 3-8-15A: Do you think college students should get tattoosB: No, I don’t think so because tattoos are permanent, you can’t remove them easily. More import antly, I think some tattoos look really ugly.A: Do you think college students should wear makeupB: Yes, I think there is no harm in sometimes wearing makeup. Besides, it helps me feel confident and hides my spots!Audio Track 3-8-16A: Are you dating right nowB: Me No, not at the moment.A: Come on. Tell me the truth. What about that tall boy I always see you withB: You mean Tony We’re just in the same study group. That’s all. He’s not my type.A: Oh really What’s your typeB: Well, he should be intelligent, and have a good sense of humor. What about youA: Well … I haven’t thought about this seriously. But I’m attracted to smart guys, too. Good looks are not important to me. But he should be honest and romantic.Video CourseVideo Track 3-8-1Calum: I’m really looking for a girl who’s … um … very interesting and funny. I think that personality is very important, and I like elegant and romantic girls.Jennifer: I’m really attracted to tall, handsome men. But also it’s very important that they’re intelligent, witty, and have a good sense of humor.Nick: I think a woman is beautiful when she’s smart, and funny, and also very caring.Dan: I think that a woman is beautiful if she has long hair, if she’s very natural, if she’s confident and str ong and tall. Alejandra: I’m attracted to men who are handsome, intelligent, honest, trustworthy, and who make me laugh.Martin: She … um … has to be able to communicate … has to be able to listen, she has to be able to respond to my needs. I’m looking for this type of person but I still haven’t found her. Video Track 3-8-2Dan: I think that a woman is beautiful if she has long hair,if she’s very natural,if she’s confident and strong and tall. Video Track 3-8-3Gian: It seems like I’ve tried all dif ferent ways of meeting people. I’ve tried speed dating. I’ve tried online dating.I’ve also tried doing some things through lunch dates. Ultimately, though, I think the best way to meet someone isjust when you’re being natural with your friends, out havin g fun.Miyuki: I know one person who actually had a good time through online dating … found a boyfriend. And … but I also know a bunch of other people who get very strange e-mails.Dan: I’ve been on several blind dates, most of which were unsuccessful.Ale jandra: I went to a singles’ event once and it was terrible, so I decided never to go to one again!Video Track 3-8-4Sun-hee: Tara, are you still reading the personal adsTara: Yep.Sun-hee: You know those ads will never help you find a relationship.Tara: Yes, they will! I’ve already been on three dates.Sun-hee: Yeah. And you’re still looking …Tara: Well, it’s just that I haven’t found the right person yet.Sun-hee: I don’t get it. You’ve been on three unsuccessful dates, and you still think it’s a good idea. WhyTara: Well, for one thing, I wouldn’t say all my dates have been completely unsuccessful. I may not have met “Mr. Right” yet, but I’ve still had fun.Sun-hee: Yeah, but you can have fun anywhere. You don’t need to go searching through a news paper for “Mr. Right.”Tara: Sun-hee, it can happen! My friend Karen just got engaged to a man she met through the personals, and she dated lots of men before she met him.Sun-hee: And that means …Tara: Never give up! (looks at paper) Ooh! Here’s one: “Romantic, handsome, well-built male looking for attractive female for casual dating.”Sun-hee: He’s probably a total Romeo … “Romantic” … “casual dating” … there’s no way he’s sincere.Tara: Stop it. Hey, here’s one: “Are you attracted to intelligence Do you enjoy a good personality Are good looks important, but looks aren’t everything”Sun-hee: Hmm … “good personality” … “looks aren’t everything” … sounds like he might not be too cute.Tara: Why do you say that You’ve never even met him.Sun-hee: Well, fi rst of all, he’s writing about his “good personality” and “intelligence.” And second of all, he’ssaying that looks shouldn’t be important for the person he dates, which probably means he’s not that attractive.Tara: You are so fussy! No wonder you haven’t tried dating through the personals yet.Sun-hee: If you must know, I did answer a personal ad … once. Tara: Yeah What happenedSun-hee: We went out for dinner, and all he did was talk about himself — and his old girlfriend! Oh, it was awful!Tara: OK, tha t does sound terrible, but they’re not all bad. Sun-hee: Hmm … maybe you’re right. Let’s see, what else do you have here … Here’s one: “Intelligent female seeks interesting Sunday afternoon activity other than sitting at home reading silly personals. Really into Brad Pitt. Feels like seeing his new movie …”Tara: All right. Let’s go.Video Track 3-8-5Sun-hee: Tara, are you still reading the personal adsTara: Yep.Sun-hee: You know those ads will never help you find a relationship.Tara: Yes, they will!

One day he just fell on the floor and lost consciousness.A: What happened then?B: We felt very anxious. So one of us hurried to tell our teacher, and the rest of us waited beside him.A: Was it serious?B: Thankfully, it wasn’t. He recovered before our teacher arrived.A: How lucky!B: Yeah, he really was. He told us that he had been playing online games all night an d he hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why he felt lightheaded and fainted.Audio Track 3-4-2/Audio Track 3-4-3/Audio Track 3-4-4Female newscaster (F), Male newscaster (M), Woman (W)F: Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn’t it?M: Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They’re calling it the “holiday cruise disease.”F: It sounds scary. What caused it?M: The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate.F: OK, give us the details.M: All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded.They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience.W: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really terrible!F: What’s the situation now?M: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday —after only two and a half days at sea —and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They’re exhausted —many haven’t slep t for 48 hours —but they’re doing fine.F: That’s good news.

The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn’t want to refund the full amo unt.F: What’s going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story, though, and I’ll have more details for you tomorrow.Audio Track 3-4-5/Audio Track 3-4-6/Audio Track 3-4-7Mom: Have you finished packing?Bill: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time. I don’t want to forget any of the pieces. Mom: Is that your first aid kit?Bill: Yep.Mom: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin.

An overnight camping trip.I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!Mom: All right, then. I was just trying to be helpful. …I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Audio Track 3-4-8Susan: What’s wrong?Anne: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.Susan: Do you have a cold?Anne: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred — he has the flu.Susan: I’m sorry to hear that.Anne: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Audio Track 3-4-9I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was hard to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinkingcoffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early!A lot of people drink coffee just because they feel tired.Audio Track 3-4-10/Audio Track 3-4-11Get in the habit!We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.These habits are:1. eating breakfast every day2. avoiding snacks between meals3. keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4. exercising regularly5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6. not smoking7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret’s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can’t. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she’s embarrassed by it.“I’ve never been a tidy person,” she says. “My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.”Today it’s so easy to get information … and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it’s too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can’t think clearly. “I can’t sleep at night because I worry,” says Bahman, a college senior. “It’s terrible.”Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. “I’m always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,” says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in “deskfast” (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, maysuffer from hurry sickness!We’ve all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you’re working. Steven works as a project manager. “I can finish my work in about four hours, but I’m afraid to say anything about it. I don’t want to be assigned too much work!” In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even become depressed. Chances are you’ve experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be “pain in the neck,” because that’s what people with this condition experience. Holding the p hone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long massage is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Audio Track 3-4-14Ed is about to faint.Stop him from falling.Ask him to sit down.Loosen his collar.Ann has already fainted.Lay her on her back.Raise her legs.Check her body for injuries.Speaking and CommunicationAudio Track 3-4-15Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad.

Have you tried it yourself?B: Absolutely. It really works.A: I don’t know ... I’m scared of needles.B: Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt and it’s very safe. You know, it has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medical practice.C: If you’re afraid of needles, perhaps you should try hypnotism.A: Is it effective in curing headaches?C: Sure it is. It has been used to treat nervous energy and pain. The biggest advantage is that no medicine is required because it uses your mind to bring you peace of mind. It will definitely do you good.A: But I’m not sure if I could be hypnotized.C: Relax. I’ll recommend you a very nice hypnotist.D: If you find it difficult to be hypnotized, you should try yoga.A: But it’s physic ally challenging.D: That’s true but yoga emphasizes control of breathing and it’s a very good way to exercise. Daily exercises are said to help ease aches and pains.Video Track 3-4-1Alejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year.

Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal itabout a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip.Don’t pack the night before you travel. You’ll forget things when you’re in a hurry.2.T agging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like camerasand cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotel’s address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags.3.Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses theempty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If you’re traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit.4.Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets,traveler’s checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easilyunder the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack afew rub of bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal.Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Track 3-1-OL-7 Track 3-1-OL-8Travel TodayGoing solo is the way to go!By D. ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Global ViewpointsP13 ADave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of m}'r traveling experience was w hen I came to the . for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to T anzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In T anzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead.

While Sun-hee is talking to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara have some trouble preparing for the trip. First,T ara can’t find her bag and then Claudia doesn’t know where her ticket is. But Sun-hee is tatally relaxed because she has already finished getting ready. Sun-hee tells Mike about all the errands she had to do earlier that day. She had to confirm her flight, get travel’s checks, change her voice-mail message, and pay the bills. Finally, T ara and Claudia are ready to go and Sun-hee checks to be sure they have everything. However, after they leave, Sun-hee soon comes running back in. Why? She forgot to take her ticket and passport!Unit 4, Lesson ATrack 3-4-1 Track 3-4-2(F): Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn't it?(M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They're calling it the "holiday cruise disease." It sounds scary. What caused it? The doctors aren't exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate. OK, give us the details. All right, here's the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 . with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded. They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience. Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn't eat anything. It was really terrible! What's the situation now? Well, the ship had to return home on Monday---- after only two and a half days at sea---- and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They're exhausted---- many haven't slept for 48 hours---- but they're doing fine.F: That's good news. It's too bad they couldn't enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn't want to refund the full amount.F: What's going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I'II keep following the story, though, and I'II have more details for you tomorrow.Track 3-4-3Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can't stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recently?Chad: Let's see…I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit you. Please sit up here. Let's take your temperature.Track 3-4-41. When I was younger and I had a sore throat my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it works.2. I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Track 3-4-OL-1 Track 3-4-OL-2M: Are you finished packing?B: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time, I don’t want to forget any of the pieces.M: Is that your first aid kit?B: Yep.M: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin, where’s everything else?B: Like what?M: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste for example.B: Huh…I’ll put it in, don’t worry.M: And where is your allergy medicine?

It’s only an overnight camping trip.M: OK. All right then. Oh, what about mouthwash? After you brush you teeth, you’re going to want to…B: Mom! I’m not preparing for a date! I’m going on a camping trip, an overnight camping trip! I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!M: All right then. I was just trying to be helpful. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Track 3-4-OL-3A: What’s wrong?B: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.A: Do you have a cold?B: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred, he has the flu.A: I’m sorry to hear that.B: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Track 3-4-OL-4I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was had to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early! A lot of people drink coffee just because the feel tired.Track 3-4-OL-5 Track 3-4-OL-6Get in the habitWe all know that good habits bring in good health. But we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California, LA interviews seven thousand people about their health habits. Then they follow these people to see how long they lived. The scientist discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life. These habits are：1. Eating breakfast everyday. 2. Avoiding snacks between . Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too . Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or . Not . Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week and be patient, it takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Track 3-4-OL-7 Track 3-4-OL-8Surprising syndromes of modem lifeR4argaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid." Today it's so easy to get information--and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. I;or some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible." Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing. Get headaches a lot. T aking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness! We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have topretend that you're working. Steven works as a project manager. "I can finish my work in about four hours, but I'm afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!" In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed. Chances are you're experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be "pain in the neck," because that's what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long message is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Unit 4, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsP65 AAlejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and I've got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don't want to get out of bed. So I stay home. I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick----and I mean really sick---- the first thing I do is run to the machine cabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I'm not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I'm really OK, and it's just a matter of time.Malinda: When I xx-as younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste cancure burns---bee stings---uh-- bites-- it's... amazing. "I got a bee sting---- ah, put toothpasteon it." "I got burnt---- ah, put toothpaste on it." "I have cancer---- ah, put toothpaste on it."Kumiko: I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Catherine: My father's been recently very interested in acupuncture. He's been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he's been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I'm a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.City LivingIt must be a miracle!T ara: (opening the door to find T akeshi and Mike) Hi--hi.T akeshi: Hi.T ara: Thank goodness you're here!

I’m not hungry.”Then the phone rings. It’s the president’s secretary. She tells T ara to tell Sun-hee that tonight’s meeting has been canceled. When Sun-hee gets the news, she starts to feel much better and says,”it must be a miracle or something.”But her friends know it’s not a miracle. She was just really nervous about the meeting!Unit 7．Lesson ATrack 3-7-1 Track 3-7-2Conversation 1Host: Hello, Spencer. How are you?Spencer: Fine, thank you. I'm excited to be here.Host: Great!

At the age of 30, I’d like to be a father. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll retire at the age of 50 and travel around the world.Audio Track 3-3-6Hi Jackie,I’m so excited about visiting you! Here are the details. My plane arrives on Friday at 2 p.m. When I get to the airport, I’ll take a taxi, so I’ll arrive at yo ur house at about 3:00. That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had theirtwentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping w ith life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.
