Part 1Listening 1Ex1: C A D C BEx2: 1) approaching 2) left 3) toilet 4) locked 5) Tickets please 6) pushed 7) stampedScripts:Two Belgians and two Dutchmen traveled regularly to work on the same train. After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!", they pushed one ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again.The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own.The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty.As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!" One ticket appeared under the door.Questions:1. Where did the story take place2. What did the two Dutchmen want to know from the two Belgians3. How did the Dutchmen feel about the Belgians' behavior4. What did the Belgian do when asked if he had a ticket5. Who finally managed to travel free of chargeListening 2Ex1: 1 department store 2. attend college 3. difficult 4. physical education 5. terrifiedEx2: FTTFTScripts:My name is Atsuko Saeki. I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone.One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, "Come on, you can do that."You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel. I was so happy that I almost cried. I managed to hit the ball and I think I thanked the young man, but I'm not sure.I have never forgotten his kind words of encouragement. He probably doesn't even remember what he said to me or how much his kindness meant to me. Whenever things aren't going well, I think of those simple words of encouragement: Come on, you can do that.We often forget that our words can have a powerful impact on other people. Even a simple word—good or bad—can have a lasting effect.Listening 3Ex1: 1 80 2. Caps, sweaters and scarves 3. The elderly lady’s daughter-in-law 4. Because she was blind. 5. 19.6. China7. One8. TorontoEx2: 1. 60 2. making up 3. various parts 4. printed 5. Never before 6. personal letter 7. bless youScripts:The first part:Dear Miss Austen,I was so happy to receive your letter. It means so much to me. I never expected such a detailed response. I am eighty years old and I am blind. There is little I can do except knit and that is why I knit so many caps, sweaters and scarves. Of course, I can't write, so my daughter-in-law is writing this letter for me.I know a little bit about the work you are doing. At the age of nineteen I married a man who was going to work as a missionary to China. For 40 years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China. We had two sons, only one of whom is still alive. After 40 years, my husband's health began to fail. We moved back to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York. When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law.The second part:What I most wanted to say is this. For 60 years I have been making up missionary packages of clothing, food, medicine, or books. I have sent them to various parts of the world. Sometimes I have received a printed slip of acknowledgement, sometimes nothing. Never before in all these years have I had a personal letter describing the village and telling me who are wearing the clothing and what they said. I never thought that in my lifetime I would receive a letter like that. May God bless you.Listening 4Ex1: 1 misunderstanding, 2 lump, 3 5/five, 4 cancer, 5 fineEx2: T F F T T FScripts:Interviewer: You experienced a misunderstanding when you worked in Singapore, didn't youCarol: Mmm, yes—quite a few, actually.Interviewer: Can you tell us about one, then.Carol: Um, well, I had this red lump on my left leg. One night the pain was really bad and I became scared. So the next day I went to the hospital and they cut out the lump and stitched me up. Then I heard the doctor say to his assistant, "Get it to the lab for tests right away." I was told to return in five days to have my stitches out and get my result. However, for some reason, I got the days mixed up and missed my appointment! It was a day late! Interviewer: Go on...Carol: I phoned up the hospital and the receptionist said the doctor wasn't in, but she'd put me through to his assistant. Oh, my heart was pounding by this time and my mouth was all dry.Interviewer: With stressCarol: Yes. I was really nervous. Anyhow, the assistant said "OK" and told me to hold on while she got my card.When she returned to the phone she said, "I think you'd better come in and talk to the doctor in person." Oh, I was so shocked.Interviewer: Oh dear!Carol: "Why" I asked. "Is there anything wrong" There was a long pause. "Well," she said. "The doctor will tell you about the treatment." So...there's me thinking: Oh my God, this is it. I've got cancer. I felt sick quite literally "So when can I talk to the doctor" I asked. His assistant said she'd get him to call me later that morning. Interviewer: Oh, no, poor you! What did you doCarol: Oh, I went to work. But I couldn't concentrate or work straight. Every time the phone rang, I nearly passed out. I kept ringing the hospital, but the doctor was late. Eventually, he rang me up. Oh, I was really shaking. He said, "Ms Smith" I said, "Yes" "Oh, everything's fine," he said. "No further treatment is necessary." What I made him say it three times. I said, "So why didn't your assistant tell me that It would have saved me all this worry!" "I don't know," he said. He did apologize, though.Interviewer: How scary!Carol: Yeah. A couple of days later I got a letter from the hospital with the results of the tests. It said that I'd had some kind of "tumor". I looked it up in a medical dictionary and it explained that it was a benign kind of tumor. I think the assistant must have seen the word "tumor" and immediately thought it meant cancer. That was a day I'll never forget.Further ListeningListening 1A D ABC BScripts:A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.Questions:1. Where did the story take place2. What happened to two of the frogs3. What did the other frogs say to the two frogs4. What happened to the two frogs in the end5. What made one of the frogs ignore the other frogs' adviceListening 2D B C B C BOne day Mr. Shull was talking about the power of positive thinking and the power of words. Michael, one of the audience, raised his hand and said, “It’s not because I say good fortune, good fortune, good fortune that I feel better. Nor will saying bad luck, bad luck, bad luck make me feel worse. They’re only words and words by themselves have no power.”Shull replied, “Shut up, you fool! You don’t understand a thing about this.” Michael was stunned, his face becamered and he was about to reply, “You, son of bitch!’Then Mr. Shull raised his hand, “Please excuse me. I didn’t mean to upset you. Please accept my most sincere apologies.” Michael calmed down. Some people in the hall murmured; others shuffled their feet.Then Mr. Shull resumed, “There’s the reply to the question you asked me. A few words made you very angry. The other words calmed you down. Now do you understand the power of words”Listening 3All of us would like our friends to know our 1) moods and our needs instinctively. That rarely happens and never happens 2) regularly. No one will ever be able to 3) meet your needs if they don't know what your needs are. It is true that you take 4) risks when you let your needs be known. You may be turned down and 5) hurt. However, when you are expecting your friends to read your mind and 6) satisfy your needs without your input, you are going to be 7) disappointed and hurt without your friends ever knowing why.This is a common misconception of friendships and even marriages. When asked if he had told his wife he wanted her to ride bicycles with him, one husband said, "Of course I didn't tell her. After all these years of marriage, she 8) should know!" The sad thing is she will probably never know 9) unless he tells her. So, tell your friends what you want and what you need. Otherwise you will be 10) stuck in a relationships that can never grow to be "best friends".Listening 4TTFTFTTFTFScripts:My friend used to commute to work daily on a train. After getting off the train, he always walked the short distance to his office building. Every morning, he passed an old man who was always at then same spot with a cup in hand, hoping to get a bit of change from passers-by. For most people, this person was someone to be ignored as if he didn’t exist. But my friend would always say good morning to him and bid him have a good day. The stranger would smile back, say good morning and remain until all the commuters had gone on their way.Occasionally, my friend would drop a dollar or two in his cup on his way as he said hello. This behavior went on for several years until one day, his last day on the job before retirement. My friend stopped for a few moments to talk with this man. He told the man that he would no longer be passing by because this was his last day on the job. The man took his hand and shook it warmly saying that he had always looked forward to seeing my friend pass his way, not because he dropped a few dollars in his cup. He said he would miss my friend because he was one of the few people out of thousands who ever said hello when passing him by. And he was the only one who ever bid him have a good day. The man also said that his warm words always brightened his day and helped him to continue on despite being ignored by thousands of others who saw him daily.。

Unit2 The Power of WordsThe Power of a Note1.On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier(Ohio) Leader Enterprise, I didn'tget a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning2.When I opened it, I read: "A nice piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the goodwork. "It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words couldn't have been more inspiring. l kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don's note and feel confident againter, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quickencouraging word to people in all walks of life. "When I make others feel good about themselves, he told me, I feel good too.4.Not surprisingly, he had a body of friends as big as nearby Lake Erie. When he diedlast year at 75, the paper was flooded with calls and letters from people who had been recipients of his spirit-lifting words5.Over the years, Ive tried to copy the example of Don and other friends who careenough to write uplifting comments, because I think they are on to something important. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth and reassurance. We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise have been known to turn around a day, even a life.6.Why, then, are there so few upbeat note writers? My guess is that many who shyaway from the practice are too self-conscious. They’re afraid they’ll be misunderstood, sound sentimental or insincere. Also, writing takes time; it’s far easier to pick up the phone.7.The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they don’t last. A note attachesmore importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured8.Even though note writing may take longer, some pretty busy people do it,including George Bush. Some say he owes much of his success in politics to his ever-ready pen. How? Throughout his career he has followed up virtually every contact with a cordial response-a compliment, a line of praise or a nod of thanks.His notes go not only to friends and associates, but to casual acquaintances and total strangers-like the surprised person who got a warm pat on the back for lending Bush an umbrella.9.Even top corporate managers, who have mostly affected styles of leadership thatcan be characterized only as tough, cold and aloof, have begun to learn the lesson, and earn the benefits, of writing notes that lift people up. Former Ford chairman Donald Peterson who is largely credited for turning the company round in the 19bos, made it a practice to write positive messages to associates every day. "I’d just scribble them on a memo pad or the corner of a letter and pass them along, "he says.” The most important ten minutes of your day are those you spend doing something to boost the people who work for you.10.Too often, he observed, people we genuinely like have no idea how we feel aboutobserved, "people we genuinely like have no idea how we feel about them. Too often we think, I haven't said anything critical; why do I have to say something positive? We forget that human beings need positive reinforcement-in fact, we thrive on it!”11.What does it take to write letters that lift spirits and warm hearts? Only awillingness to express our appreciation. The most successful practitioners include what I call the four “S’s” of note writing.12.1) They are sincere. No one wants false praise.13.2) They are usually short. If you can't say what you want to say in three sentences,you're probably straining14.3) They are specific. Complimenting a business colleague by telling him "goodspeech" is too vague; "great story about Warren Buffet s investment strategy" is precise.15.4) They are spontaneous. This gives them the freshness and enthusiasm that willlinger in the reader's mind long afterward.16.It's difficult to be spontaneous when you have to hunt for letter-writing materials,so I keep paper, envelopes and stamps close at hand, even when I travel. Fancy stationery isn't necessary; it's the thought that counts.17.So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, yourlibrarian, a relative, your mayor, your mate, a teacher, your doctor? You don’t need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, or a birthday or holiday. For the last 25 years, for example, I’ve prepared an annual Christmas letter for long-distance friends, and I often add a handwritten word of thanks or congratulations. Acknowledging some success or good fortune that has happened during the year seems particularly appropriate considering the spirit of the Christmas season18.Be generous with your praise. Superlatives like "greatest, ""smartest, ""prettiestmake us all feel good. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.19.Today I got a warm, complimentary letter from my old boss and mentor, NormanVincent Peale. His little note to me was full of uplifting phrases, and it sent me to my typewriter to compose a few overdue letters of my own. I don't know if they will make anybody else's day, but they made mine.
