They’re Chanel, so they’re quite expensive. And that’s today. The other week though, I bought a Mimco handbag which was also fairly expensive but I think it’s very nice.ListeningScriptsWelcome to Money Matters, presented by Jimmy Stevens. Today we’re going to talk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is? It’s a food which you don’t eat.It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s chewinggum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” The iPod arrived on the market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they want to invest in it? No, they didn’t. So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”. The idea of the game is to buy streets where you can build houses and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say they’ve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people haveplayed it. The game is truly international: It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages.ViewingScriptsP = Presenter; SB = Sergey BrinP: It’s the fastest growing company in history, used by 400 million people a month. The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary moneymaking machine and finds out how it’s changed the lives of countless millions of people w ho now inhabit “the World According to Google”. And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey’s university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you’re trying to find out about, say, “Stonehenge”,here’s what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They’re from companies who have picked“Stonehenge” as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for “Stonehenge” might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks. I’m just looking.S: OK, just let me know if you need anything.W: Thanks.Conversation 2S = Shop assistant; M = ManS: Hi there. Are you looking for anything in particular?M: Yeah, do you sell those things that soldiers wear? Er, er … it’s like a jacket.S: Um, a type of jacket?M: Er, yeah, a light green jacket with lots of pockets.S: Ah, you mean a flak jacket?M: Er, yes.S: They’re just on your left.M: Ah, yes. Thank you. Can I try this on?S: Of course.M: Where’s the fitting room?S: Just over there.M: Er, thanks.Conversation 3M = Man; S = Shop assistantM: Excuse me. Do you have one of these in a larger size? It doesn’t fit.S: Is that the Large? I’ll just go and check for you. I’m sorry. This is all we’ve got in stock at the moment. There are some other T-shirts over there on the other side. There might be some Extra Large sizes there.Conversation 4W = Woman; S = Shop assistantW: Hello. I was wondering if you’ve got any of that stuff you use for cleaning swimming pools.S: Um … yeah, we usually s ell a liquid cleaner.You pour it into the pool. There’s one here.W: Can I have a look?S: Yep.W: How much is it?S: Er, this one’s ￡28.99 for a liter bottle.Conversation 5S = Shop assistant; M = Man; W = WomanS: Hi. Are you paying by cash or credit card?M: Credit card.S: Can you enter your PIN, please? Thanks. Here’s your card.M: Thanks.S: Thank you. Who’s next, please?W: Do you take Mastercard?S: Yes, that’s fine. Um, can you just sign here, please?Group discussionScriptsA: Personally, I think these footballers earn too much money. They’re 20 years old and they’re already millionaires. I think it’s crazy.B: I agree. They earn enough money in one week to buy a house, a car – anything. Now if you look at, say, fire fighters, who risk their lives …A: Fire fighters don’t earn enough.B: They don’t earn enough.A: What about doctors? Certainly in Britain they work very hard.B: They work too hard. One of my friends is a doctor and he sometimes does 18 hour shifts.A: Ha, that’s crazy.B: Eighteen hours without a break. Again, they’re saving people’s lives.A: Teachers, too. I think they should get much bigger salaries. They also work really long hours.B: Yeah, although they do get good holidays.A: Yeah. That’s true.B: Actually, I think they get too many holidays. There’s Christmas and half term and Easter and the summer. What is it in the summer – about six weeks?A: Yeah, but I think teachers need it ’cause of all the stress.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: According to this policy, you can get more welfare money if you have children. W: Sure, I could. But having children would also cost a lot of money, so I doubt the welfare benefits will encourage people to give birth. Besides, I’m happier by myself.Q: What does the woman think about the policy?Conversation 2W: In a marriage, do you think one person should handle money, or both?M: I think it’s easier for one person to deal with money. Take my parents for example. My dad had some pocket money and the rest of his salary went into the bank for my mom to pay the bills with. It never failed once.Q: According to the man, how should a family deal with money?Conversation 3M: My sister is having trouble with her boyfriend. He wants her to sign an agreement on money problems before they get married.W: I can see why. Well, I wouldn’t have married you if you had asked me to sign such an agreement. My parents would have gone mad.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?Conversation 4W: How can you afford such nice things on your salary? Something must be going on here.M: OK, I’ll be honest with you, but you can’t tell anyone else. I’ve been burning the midnight oil for another company. They pay me very good money.Q: What can we learn about the man?Conversation 5M: I’d like to buy a new car, but this model is too expensive.W: How about loaning some money from your uncle? It’s better than borrowingmoney from the bank because you will have to pay higher interest to the bank.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?Long conversationScriptsM: That’s a beautiful new coat, Jessica. Is that real leather?W: Yes, it is! I found it in a sale last week for only $180. I just couldn’t resist!M: $180?! How can you afford that kind of purchase as a college student? Back when I was beginning college, it was a struggle to afford tuition, books and food!W: No problem! My student loan just came in for this term, so I have plenty of money to spend! I took all of my friends out for dinner la st night, and tonight we’re going out to a concert! We got great tickets for $75! You should come with us, Mike! M: Thanks for the invitation … Um. I’ll have to pass. I need to prepare for my class. Jessica … $75! You’d better learn to be more careful with your money. What will you do if you run out of money before the end of the term?W: I’ll just call my mom! She loves to send me money. She saved up for college for me from when I was young. She said I should really enjoy my college life! So, I am! M: OK, well, I’ve got to go. Jessica, I may be an old family friend of over 15 years, but here at the university, I’m the graduate teaching assistant in your freshman biology class. So, don’t forget to study for the exam this Thursday!W: OK! Bye!Passage 1ScriptsNo one wants to work on a major holiday like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But many small businesses choose to remain open during holidays to compete with the big stores and not miss out on money-making opportunities. While most workers would prefer to celebrate such events with family or friends, business owners can make small but meaningful, gestures to show their appreciation to employees.Daniel Rubin, a human resource expert, said, “While many smaller companies can’t afford to give their holiday workers good extra benefits, there are other ways to keep employees’ spirits up. For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a home-cooked meal or a handwritten thank-you ca rd.”Rubin also said smaller companies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The company manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the company.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact. And he can give the workers some choice in when they come to work, or let them have a day off on another date.Having a small celebration at the work place, or even playing a few holiday games during the workday can help employees to get into the holiday spirit. “Let them do something fun that relates to the holiday and this will keep their spirits high,”Rubin said. “Remember, what counts most is taking the time, not necessarily spending money, and that is something every single company should do.”Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to Rubin, what can small companies do to thank holiday workers?Q3: What can small business owners do to help holiday workers get into the holiday spirit?Q4: Who are supposed to benefit most from this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersAccording to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1) evidence that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2) enhance happiness.The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3) interviewed 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was 4) rated based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions the students held. The researchers also 5) took into account the students’ family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students received from their peers 6) forecast their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.Similar results 7) emerged in another study with a larger group of students.In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools. They found the MBA students’ social well-being 8) was related to changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students’ well-being after graduation than the money they made.One of the reasons why money doesn’t buy happiness is that people quickly 9) adapt themselves to the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10) original level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.。

新视野大学英语第三版第一册UNIT8课文翻译UNIT8TESTA友情中的性别差异：矛盾还是不矛盾1想到我的好朋友们，我就会用看电影的眼光看待他们。
对男性和女性的拍摄手法是完全不同的。
我对女性朋友的“电影式”记忆是开放的、亲密无间的。
我们交谈着，像磁铁般互相吸引着。
她们直视我的眼睛，她们善解人意，她们用心倾听。
相比较而言，我对男性朋友的记忆是完全不同的另一部影片。
那是一部动作片或者冒险片！对话不多。
习惯性的行动，或者说一系列的动作，弥补了对话及坦诚倾诉方面的不足。
2我回想起我儿时最早的朋友唐纳德。
那时候我还住在欧洲，我家房子附近有一辆战后遗弃的德国旧卡车。
没有轮子，没有挡风玻璃，没有车门。
但是方向盘还完好无损。
我和唐纳德一直开着这辆卡车——也就是我们的“飞机”——“飞往”美国。
即使到现在，我还记得我们每天飞行的那个套路。
我们飞过欧洲，飞越大西洋，去执行救援任务。
那时候的我们单纯，形影不离，有着最好的朋友之间才有的那种高度安全感。
自然，对于我们彼此间显而易见的感情，我们从未吐露过一个字，一切尽付诸行动。
3每天，当我们飞翔在大西洋上空时，总是不可避免地会出现那精彩的时刻：“发动机故障！”我总会对着麦克风大叫，“我们必须跳出去。
”“啊－啊－啊－啊－啊－！”唐纳德发出像发动机出现故障时的声音。
他看了我一眼，说：“我不会游泳啊!”“别怕！我会把你拉上岸的。
”我总是勇敢地回答。
于是，说完这些后，我们两人都从卡车里扑到满是尘土的街道上。
我在尘土中游泳。
唐纳德淹没在尘土中，一边咳嗽，一边大叫：“有鲨鱼！”但我总是会把他救上来。
第二天，我们交换角色，那精心策划的一幕又重复上演。
“我不会游泳啊！”我会喊道，而唐纳德就会来救我。
我俩数百次地把对方从必死的境地中救出，直到最终有一天我家真的要去美国了。
我和唐纳德在火车站呆呆地站着，准备道别。
我们不知道该说些什么，这次我们谁也救不了谁。
于是，当火车驶离时，我俩只是默默地流泪。
新视野第一册读写教程课文第八单元中英文对照
Unit 8Section A Birth of Bright IdeasNo satisfactory way exists to explain how to form a good idea. Y ou think about a problem until you're tired, forget it, maybe sleep on it, and then flash! When you aren't thinking about it, suddenly the answer arrives as a gift from the gods.Of course, all ideas don't occur like that but so many do, particularly the most important ones. They burst into the mind, glowing with the heat of creation. How they do it is a mystery but they must come from somewhere. Let's assume they come from the "unconscious." This is reasonable, for psychologists use this term to describe mental processes which are unknown to the individual. Creative thought depends on what was unknown becoming known.All of us have experienced this sudden arrival of a new idea, but it is easiest to examine it in the great creative personalities, many of whom experienced it in an intensified form and have written it down in their life stories and letters. One can draw examples from genius in any field, from religion, philosophy, and literature to art and music, even in mathematics, science, and technical invention, although these are often thought to depend only on logic and experiment. All truly creative activities depend in some degree on these signals from the unconscious, and the more highly insightful the person, the sharper and more dramatic the signals become.Take the example of Richard Wagner composing the opening to ";Rhinegold". Wagner had been occupied with the idea of the "Ring" for several years, and for many months had been struggling to begin composing. On September 4, 1853, he reached Spezia sick, went to a hotel, could not sleep for noise without and fever within, took a long walk the next day, and in the afternoon flung himself on a couch intending to sleep. Then at last the miracle happened for which his unconscious mind had been seeking for so long. Falling into a sleeplike condition, he suddenly felt as though he were sinking in a mighty flood of water, and the rush and roar soon took musical shape within his brain. He recognized that the orchestral opening to the "Rhinegold", which he must have carried about within him yet had never been able to put it into form, had at last taken its shape within him. In this example, the conscious mind at the moment of creation knew nothing of the actual processes by which the solution was found.As a contrast, we may consider a famous story: the discovery by Henri Poincare, the great French mathematician, of a new mathematical method called the Fuchsian functions. Here we see the conscious mind, in a person of highest ability, actually watching the unconscious at work. For weeks, he sat at his table every day and spent an hour or two trying a great number of combinations but he arrived at no result. One night he drank some black coffee, contrary to his usual habit, and was unable to sleep. Many ideas kept surging in his head; he could almost feel them pushing against one another, until two of them combined to form a stable combination. When morning came, he had established the existence of one class of Fuchsian functions. He had only to prove the results, which took only a few hours. Here, we see the conscious mind observing the new combinations being formed in the unconscious, while the Wagner story shows the sudden explosion of a new concept into consciousness.A third type of creative experience is exemplified by the dreams which came toDescartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path. Descartes had unsuccessfully searched for certainty, first in the world of books, and then in the world of men. Then in a dream on November 10, 1619, he made the significant discovery that he could only find certainty in his own thoughts, cogito ergo sum ("I think; therefore, I exist"). This dream filled him with intense religious enthusiasm.Wagner's, Poincare's, and Descartes' experiences are representative of countless others in every field of culture. The unconscious is certainly the source of instinctive activity. But in creative thought the unconscious is responsible for the production of new organized forms from relatively disorganized elements.Unit8-A奇思妙想是如何形成的，现在还没有令人满意的解释。

Discussion — What do you value Text Reading Extr. & App. Par. Writing Further Dev. most in friendship?
Friendship is one of life’s greatest treasures. What I value most in friendship is that no matter what happens, if you lose contact and reconnect, or if there are a lot of changes going on in your individual lives, the relationship stays the same. You can always count on that person, and you enjoy one another’s company. He or she will always stand by you, and defend you. This is probably the most reciprocated of all the friendship ideals: watch their back and they all watch yours.

friends. Male creatures are comparatively more independent and carefree. But women tend to rely on their friends emotionally. They are sensitive and sentimental. So whenever I get together with my guy friends, we enjoy taking part in activities, and doing things together, such as climbing mountains, working out a special idea and carrying it out. On the contrast, I share my deepest feelings with my female friends, and give each other emotional support. We rely on each other and help each other when it is necessary.
