21世纪大学英语视听说教程Book 4 unit 1 Part D 听力原文21世纪大学英语视听说教程Book 4 Unit 1 Part D 听力原文Section A1. W: Since when do you read the Sunday Times?M: Since I discovered its big help-wanted section.Q: What can we assume about the man?2. W: This coat I bought l ast week is too big for me. I’d like to exchange it for a smaller one. M: Let me see. The smaller one is only9.95, and this one is 12. Q: Approximately how much money does the shop assistant owe the woman?3. M: It would be nice if these last few days of the vacation were sunny and warm.W: But it’s not what they forecast, is it?Q: What does the woman imply about the weather?4. W: How is Susan’s lab experiment coming along?M: I’m not sure, why don’t we go and have a look?Q: What does the man mean?5. W: You didn’t seem terribly enthusiastic about the football game.M: You must be joking. If I had shouted any louder, I’d have lostmy voice.Q: What did the man think of the football game?6. W: Teddy, how are you finding life on campus this year? M: Much the same as last.Q: What does Teddy mean?7. W: You know, the Browns have invested all their money in stocks. M: They may think that’s a wise move, but that’s the last thing I’d do.Q: What’s the man’s opinion about the Browns investment?8. M: Hello, this is Mike Johnson at the bank. Is Peter there?

What did you learn about them?M: That they glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in thesame place forever.W: Right. Have you ever tried removing one of those things? It would be easier to chip the rockaway than to get the barnacle off.M: Exactly! And that’s why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacle’s glue is made of.It’s considered one o f the strongest adhesives in nature.W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces, too. M: Precisely. And because it’s a natural protein, it probably wouldn’t be harmful to people likeso many synthetic glues in use today.W: Think of all the ways doctors and dentists could use such glue. Mending broken bones, fastening false teeth.M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly what the glue is made ofso that people can make use of it.9.

So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married sixmonths ago, and like many young people these days, they arestruggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a two-week course for 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-timejob at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for 420. “I was deeply upset about it.Now I’ve finished a car repair course, and I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the US aredoing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.16. Why did John Ross decide to build their furniture instead of buying it?17. According to Jim, who should be able to fix his car?18. For those who don’t have time to take a course, how can they learn to become “do-it-yourselfers”?Passage 2Most of us spend high school dissecting frogs and feeling awkward at the occasional dance, but a small group of students in Spain got to dosomething far cooler with their educational time: they sent a digital camera into space. A teacher and four students from IES La Bisbal School inCatalonia, Spain bought a 60 balloon and fixed an 80 digital camera to it, then sent it up into the sky to capture some high-altitude pictures.The team only wanted to see if they could get their homemade weather balloon to fly to 30,000 feet, which is the altitude that most commercial aircraft fly at. But the balloon just keptclimbing until it was 20 miles above the Earth, at the very edge of space. Tracking the balloon’s progress using meteorological sensors and Google Earth, the team kept track of atmospheric conditions and snapped a handful of amazing pictures.The four students and their teacher completed the experiment in February 2009. The teambuilt the electronic sensor components themselves, then placed them, along with the camera, into a protective housing before releasing therig into the sky.The balloon rose to an altitude of over 100,000 feet before falling back to the ground. The team traveled over 10 km to find the balloon and equipment. They were amazed to find that the equipment was stillemitting a signal, despite being exposed to some extremely harsh conditions.19. What did four students in Spain do with their educational time?20. What’s the altitude that most commercial aircraft fly at?21. When did the team complete the experiment?22. After traveling 10 km to find the balloon and equipment, whatwas the team amazed to find?Passage 3Despite controversy, direct-to-consumer genetic tests are becoming more popular. This kind of genetic tests is more like a do-it-yourself diagnosis. It is becoming almost as easy as taking a home pregnancy test. People can use their credit card to order a set of tools on the Internet, use a brush to remove a few cheek cells, return the tools and receive a report via e-mail. DTC tests costfrom a few hundred to a few thousand US dollars, and are availablefor more than 800 conditions ranging from breast to cancer.The US population may be particularly ready for DTC testing becauseit has a do-it-yourself ethic and is accustomed to paying out of pocket for healthcare services. Companies that offer genetic tests are enthusiastic about the prospects of widespread DTC testing. They argue that genetic testing is no different from non-DNA tests. But not everyone is thrilled about the ease with which consumers can takegenetic tests. Some people worried DTC genetic testing poses dangers to the public. Patients may experience psychological harm since they might not understand what the results mean to them.The lack of regulation in the Internet may also result in a factthat the Web gives you information that could be very misleading andpotentially harmful to you. However, many people are comfortable with the lack of regulation as long as a doctor can help them. So what does the future hold for DTC genetic testing? We cannot expect widespread do-it-yourself screening for genetic disease in the years ahead. But we can predict a growth in DTC genetic testing for certain diseases and fully expect that this kind of technology is going to be with us.23. What do we know about direct-to-consumer genetic testing?24. What is one of the reasons that some people worry about the DTC genetic testing? 25. How is the future of DTC genetic testing?Section C26. available27. unique28. Specializing in29.

Unit 1Optional listening•building down•Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?•Erika: I think it's overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in the metropolitan area and they will say the same thing. Even the suburb is getting crowded.•Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn't any land left for building, right?•Erika: Yes, that's true, but you have to think creatively. You can't give up so easily.•Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest? •Erika: What I am saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels, and even apartment building. There 's plenty of space. •Interviewer: Isn't it expensive?•Erika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don't have to pay robots a salary.•Interviewer: Isn't building down more dangerous than otherkind of construction?•Erika: Actually, I think it's safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I am just suggesting we invest ina variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper.•Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?•Erika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there's a new idea, it can cause controversy. But building underground is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: It can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we'd be crazy not to consider the idea----it 's the wave of the future.video：City living I love skyscrapers•Takeshi: Man, look at that. In New York there's always something being built. And everything goes up so quickly…you never know what's going to be around next week.•Roberto: Yeah, but on the other hand, sometimes I wonder about overcrowding. Maybe they need to start building down more.•Takeshi: Building down?•Roberto: Yeah, it's when you build underground instead of above ground.•Takeshi: Nah, that's too much like living in a cave. I love skyscrapers. They are most incredible feats of engineering. •Roberto: True. And some of the first ones were built right here in New York City.•Takeshi: That's right. You know, I wonder what New York looked like before all these buildings popped up. •Roberto: I don't know, but I'd like to see this one when it's finished.•Takeshi: Yeah, I'll bet it'll be something fantastic.•Robe rto: Maybe…what do you think it's going to look like?•Takeshi: I don't know…but you know what? I'm going to remember what it looked like.•Roberto: What are you talking about? And why are you taking pictures? there's nothing there?•Takeshi: OK. You know how some people get famous because they have pictures of movie stars or performers before they make it big?•Roberto: Yeah?•Takeshi: Well, some buildings and architectural structures get to be famous too, like the Eiffel Tower or the Empire StateBuilding…right?•Roberto: Yeah, and…? there's nothing here.•Takeshi: Right. But there will be. Someday this very spot may become really well-known---like maybe it 'll be some incredible hotel that the rich and famous stay at. And I 'll be the only one with pictures of it before it was built. Cool, huh?•Roberto: Uh…you are too much. Hey, let 's ask this guy what your famous building 's going to be. Excuse me, can you tell us what this is going to be when it 's finished? Maybe a fancy hotel or something？•Construction worker: Fancy hotel? No, this isn 't going to be a hotel. It's going to be a parking garage.•Roberto: A parking garage. Uh…huh. Thanks.Takeshi: Well…maybe…someone rich and famous will park here.Unit 2•Optional listening Local girl rescued•She may have a broken leg, but she can't be happier. Morgan bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.•Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school.It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive the gymnasium for her physical education class.•Suddenly there was a loud noise.•“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom.After that, I don 't remember anything,”said Morgan.•The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She couldn't escape. •“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg.I couldn't move it. I was starting to get cold.”•Fortunately help was nearby. A new program using rescue robot was tried for the first time.•“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. “but in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It went extremely well.”•The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan's exact position.•“We sent robot first because it may not be safe for humans,”said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn't hurt a robot.”•Although it didn't happened in Morgan's case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped. •Rescue robots go into rough dangerous places.

It develops and produces wooden artware which it sells in one of its five city stores. Even without advertisement, the products are very popular and the stores are always busy. Customers often come directly to the stores to make purchases.*Talk 2I’m the Product Marketing Manager of our compan y. We are working on a marketing plan at the moment. Before any contracts are signed, there are a lot of things we have to take into careful consideration. We should know, for instance, the needs and preferences of consumers, the best distribution channel, the governing rules and regulations concerning the distribution of products, and the price at which products can be sold.**Talk 3My employer is a world-leading information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. The company supplies networking and telecommunications equipment to 45 of the world’s 50 largest telecom operators. In such a competitive market, the company has to innovate to stay ahead. That’s why it invests heavily in research and development, the department I work in. I’m a s enior analyst in the R&D division.Audio Track 4-5-2/Audio Track 4-5-3He may have been your typical teenager in most ways. Buthe was different in one particular way: he started his own magazine. At the age of 15 he managed the magazine called Student. It was written for and about young people in school. He was very busy, but it was a satisfying job.His next business venture was completely different. He and some friends started a mail order record company. It was also the same year, 1970, when his music discount store was opened in England. It made a lot of money.In the early 1990s, he sold his successful music business and used the money for another business idea: an airline company. And so, Virgin Airways Ltd. was born. To compete with other airlines, his company offered good prices to customers. Today Virgin is known for its excellent service. Richard Branson now runs the Virgin Group, Ltd. He employs 50,000 people and in many different fields, such as book publishing, financial services, modeling, and even bridal services! Not bad for a teenager from the UK who dreamed of editing his own magazine!Audio Track 4-5-4/Audio Track 4-5-5Host: Welcome back to “You Snooze, You Lose!” the best game show on television! This is our final round. Let me re mind you of the rules. We will show an object for a couple of seconds. It’s your job to guess what it is. Michael? Linda? Are you ready to play?Michael & Linda: Yes!!Host: OK, then, let’s play ”You Snooze, You Lose!” Show us item number one.Host: Yes, Michael?Michael: I know what they are. They’re called “cams” and they’re used in mountain climbing. Host: That’s right for one point! They’re used to hold climbing ropes. All right then,here’s our second object. Yes, Linda?Linda: Is it some kind of tool?Host: Can you be more specific?Linda: I don’t know ... a tool used to fix some kind of machine?Host: No, I’m sorry. It’s a nose and ear hair trimmer. Next … item number three. Do you have any idea? Time is up. Since no one guessed, I’ll tell you the answer. T hose are called Hopi ear candles. Linda: You stick them in your ears?Host: That’s right. They are used to clean out your ears. They also help to relax you. Let’s move on to item number four. Here it is.Michael: That’s obvious. It’s a corkscrew. You use i t to open bottles.Host: Yes, that’s correct! It’s a mini-travel corkscrew. You can pack it in your suitcase. Oh, no! You know what that means! We’re out of time. Michael, with two correct answers, you are today’s winner! Congratulations! And before we lea ve, let me show the remaining objects. Item number five is an egg slicer. Item number six is a tongue scraper —make sure to use it so that you don’t have bad breath! That’s all the time we have for today. See you next time on “You Snooze, You Los e!” Goodb ye everybody!Audio Track 4-5-6/Audio Track 4-5-7Microsoft CorporationMicrosoft Corporation is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, its best selling flagship products are the Microsoft Windows operatingsystem and the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft ships products to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975. In the mid-1980s, it rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS. Since 1985, Microsoft has released an upgrading line of Windows operating systems featuring a friendly user interface. The latest one, Windows 7, was released in October 2009 and has sold 600 million copies to date. A more powerful one, Windows 8, is to be released in late 2012. It is reported that this product can deliver a fast and fluid experience, along with a new user interface that responds equally well to touch as it does to keyboard and mouse.As one commentator notes, Microsoft’s original mission was “a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software,” and now it is a goal near fulfillment. Microsoft also makes profits in other markets such as computer hardware products and home entertainment products.Audio Track 4-5-8/Audio Track 4-5-9A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trai ns, on T-shirts and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products? A group in Canada says “No.” In 1991, they started an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiestday of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of the Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for fa mily and close friends.However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many peoplefeel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.Of course, Buy Nothing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: Shop less, live more!”Audio Track 4-5-10/Audio Track 4-5-11Ad or no ad?Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word-of-mouthadvertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created. Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product. Word-of-mouth adverti sing has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:Be prepared to ta lk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.? Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 4-5-12Noun: He gave me a beautiful present.Verb: Tomorrow I will present my ideas to the board of directors.Audio Track 4-5-131. a.

You will listen to a passage which protests against advertising and shopping. Then fill in the blanks with words from the passage.A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shits and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?A group in Canada says “No”. In 1991, they started an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of the Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for family and close friends.However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many people feel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.Of course, Buy Nothing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: shop less, live more!”P95 Audio Track 4-5-10 &Track 4-5-11B. Listen to the talk about advertising, “Ad or no ad?” complete the statements.Ad or no ad?Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “Not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings tosupport a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word- of-mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product.” It can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-m outh advertising has other a dvantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:·Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. Y ou never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.·Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.·Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.Compound Dictation:A different kind of holiday: Shop less, live more!Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shits and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?

Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios; this continual noise is doing harm to our ears.

Children ruin their eyes with endless hours of watching not only the programs for children but those for grown ups as well. And worse, hidden microphones find out about our private lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us.Enough is enough!

He attended the public schools of Bangor and. although he was the son of a poor European immigrant; he found a way to go to college・In 1939 he won a scholarship to the University of Maine, where he spent almost the next four years studying.

There's one very strange thing about him, though・He's very capable and he can do some very difficult things. The funny thing is that he can't do some of the very simple things in life.For instance, he can drive a car, but he can't ride a bicycle. He learns languages easily, too. He knows Russian, Portuguese, German, Italian and Chinese. He can speak, read and write Russian and Portuguese. He can speak Gemian, but he can f t read it. He can read Chinese, but he can't speak them. Imagine that! It's very difficult to learn to read and write Chinese, but he can't speak a word. Isn r t that strange?Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard・11.What is my good friend John Jordan like?. A12.What languages can John speak, read and write? C13.Which of the following is the main idea of the story ? APassage 2Last week, wc described how to save fish for future use by cleaning and salting them・ Today,we will discuss the next steps in keeping fish drying and smoking. Fish taste better if they dry out of the bright sunlight. Put your drying table under a tree for best results. Turn your fish over every other day. Small fish will dry in about three days if the air is dry. Large fish will take a week or ten days to dry. To smoke the fish, you must first remove as much of the saltwater as possible. The smoking can be done in a large round metal container. Build a small fire in the container. Wood from fruit trees makes good fuel for your fire. You should smoke the fish for five days or longer 讦you plan to keep them for a long rime. Remove the fish after you finish smoking them・ Let them cool. Then wrap them in clean papc匚Questions 14 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard・14.What did they talk about last week? B15・ Which method is the best one of drying fish? CSection CWc do not know when man first began to use salt, but wc do know that it has been used in many different ways ihroughout history. History records show, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish・Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, for instance, if a person was caught stealing salt, he should be put in prison. History recorded that about ten thousand people were put in prison during that century for stealing salt! About 150 years ago, if someone took more than his share of salt, he would be punished and his ear would be cut off!16.throughout 17. ate 1& considered 19. thousand 20. share（七）Section A1 ・ M: Which way do we go?W: I don9t know・ Let5s ask someone・Q: What9re they going to do?

新世纪视听说教程〔听力课本〕〔第三版〕Book4-Unit1听力原文整理者：电气杨红叶，王雪Audio Track 4-1-2 第四页Blake: What are you working on, Mary?Mary: I’m finishing my paper. It’s due tomorrow, Blake.Blake: What’s the topic?Mary: It’s about Greenland.Blake: Greenland. Hmmm…that’s part of Canada, right?Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake.Blake: Well, isn’t it near Canada?Mary: Yes, It’s off the coast of northeast Canada, but it’s part of Denmark.Blake: Oh, I didn’t know that. Well, what’s your paper about exactly?Mary: In my paper, I answer the question. “Is Greenland really green?〞In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and tree?Blake: Is it?Mary: What do you think?Blake: Let’s see…Greenland is in the Arctic Circle-way up north. It’s cold… so “Is Greenland really green?〞I’d answer probably not.〞Mary: You’d be correct. It’s too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen.The summer are short, so only the surface thaws.Blake: That sounds tough.Mary: It’s hard for the construction industry. It’s not easy to build in Greenland. Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there?Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They’re great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes seewhales swimming in the harbors.Blake: That sounds cool! Ok, so if it’s not really a “green〞place, why was it named “Greenland〞?Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They give it an attractive name.Audio Track 4-1-4 第5页Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!Elise: What is it?Jay: It’s called “The Titanic of the sky.’’It’s about the Hindenburg. a great engineering feat.Elise: The Hindenburg…Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934.Thirty-five people died.Elise: Oh, yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing.Jay: Right. It’s so funny looking, don’t you think? It doesn’t look anything like the airplanes we have today.Elise: That’s true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous.Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg “man’s greatest achievement in flight.〞They thought it was safe, I guess.Elise: Who rode in it anyway?Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a “flying hotel.〞Elise: It sounds pretty great.Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That’s why people rode it. They wanted to get to there destination faster.Elise: Why didn’t they just take a jet plane?Jay: Elise1 you know they didn’t have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the US by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy.Elise: Well, maybe I’ll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I’ll learn something…Audio Track 4-1-9 第7页My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meter high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country.Audio Track 4-1-10 第7页Modern buildings: we love them, we hate them.The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: there simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M.Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor’s entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake.Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of it’s culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into thecity center.Audio Track 4-1-12 第8页Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?Erika: I think it’s overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing. There’s no space. Even the suburbsare getting crowded.Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn’t any land left for building, right? Erika: Yes, that’s true, but you have to think creatively. You can’t give up so easily.Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest?Erika: What I’m saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots, malls, hotels and even apartment buildings.There’s plenty of space.Interviewer: Isn’t it expensive?Erika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive.However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. Itinvolves using robots. You don’t have to pay robots a salary. Interviewer: Isn’t it “building down〞more dangerous than other kinds of construction?Erika: Actually, I think it’s safer than building skyscrapers, for example.Remember, we already do it. We have subways, and undergroundshopping malls. I’m just suggesting we invest in a variety of biggerprojects and that we dig deeper.Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?Erika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there’s a new idea, it can cause controversy. But “building down〞is not some kind ofimpractical idea, it makes sense. There is so much space underground: itcan accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the newtechnology we have, we’d be crazy not to consider the idea –it’s thewave of the future.Audio Track 4-1-16 P10Bart: So what exactly did you do over the summer?Gustav: We worked as volunteers at Glacier National Park.Bart: I’ve never been there. What’s it like?Carolina: It’s beautiful. There are mountains and lakes…and, of course, glaciers! Bart: How was the job?Gustav: We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind of hard.Carolina: That’s true, but it was exciting, too! We actually saw bears!Bart: Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should apply. I’ll need a jobnext summer.Carolina: Sorry, Bart, but you can’t apply to that program. It’s a special program for international students.Video Track 4-1-1 P15Alejandra: One of the most beautiful natural wonders. I’ve seen the glaciers in the south of Argentian.Nick: The Matterhorn, which is a mountain in Switzerland, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. My dad and I climbed about halfway ,and once we got there it started snowing so we had to turn back. Catherine：I climbed up to Everest (i.e. Qomolangma) Base Camp. All of a sudden, you look up and there’s this huge mountain that everyone’s talked about,that everyone’s photographed, and you’ve seen what it’s like in picturesbut you’ve never seen it in person.Kumiko: Mt. Fuji is really beautiful from far away. When you climb it, it’s just rocks and dirt…but it’s really beautiful from far away.Natalie: I went to Niagara Falls for a family reunion. It was one of the most memorable times of my life because I got to around people who Ilove—my family. And it was also one of the most beautiful sites that I’veever seen.Video Track 4-1-3 P16Kevin: The most impressive man-made wonder that I have seen is the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall took several thousands of people to build,it stretches many, many miles throughout China, and it was made in aperiod where we didn’t have all the technological advancements…likecranes and lifts.Gian: Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an amazing feat of engineering! It gives you achance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bayand it’s just a wonderful chance to see the city.Woo sung: I saw the Hoover Dam once and I didn’t like it very much. It was in the middle of the desert and it’s just very hot, and there wasn’t much activitygoing on…and it’s just a big concrete structure.Video Track 4-1-5 P20Takeshi: Man, look at that! In New York there’s always something being built. And everything goes up so quickly…you never know what’s going to bearound next week.Roberto: Yeah, but on the other hand, sometimes I wonder about overcrowding.Maybe they need to start building down more.Takeshi: Building down?Roberto: Yeah, it’s when you build underground instead of aboveground. Takeshi: Nah, that’s too much like living in a cave. I love the skyscrapers! They are the most incredible feats of engineering!Roberto: True. And some of the first ones were built right here in New York City. Takeshi: That’s right! You know, I wonder what New York looked liked before all these buildings popped up.Roberto: I don’t know but I’d like to see this one when it’s finished.Takeshi: Yeah. I’ll bet it’ll be something fantastic!Roberto: Maybe…what do you think it’s going to look like?Takeshi: I don’t know…but you know what? I’m going to remember what it looked like.Roberto: What are you talking about? And why are you taking pictures? There’s nothing there.Takeshi: OK. You know some people get famous because they have pictures of movie stars or performers before they make it big?Roberto: Yeah?Takeshi: Well, some buildings and architectural structures get to be famous too, like the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building…right?Roberto: Yeah, and…? There’s nothing here!Takeshi: Right! But there will be. Someday this very spot may become really well-know—like maybe it’ll be some incredible hotel that the rich andfamous stay at. And I’ll be the only one with pictures of it before it wasbuilt. Cool, huh?Roberto: Uh…you are too much. Hey, let’s ask this guy what your “famous〞building’s going to be. 〔to passing construction worker〕Excuse us, canyou tell us what this is gonging to be when it’s finished? Maybe a fancyhotel or something?Construction Worker: Fancy hotel? 〔laughs 〕No, this isn’t going to be a parking garage.Roberto: A parking garage. Uh … huh. Thanks.Takeshi: Well…maybe…someone rich and famous will park here.Audio Track 4-1-21 P23Takeshi and Roberto walked by a construction site and started talking about all the buildings that were being built in New York. Takeshi thentalked about how much he admired the skyscrapers. Suddenly, Takeshistarted taking pictures of the site, but Roberto couldn’t understand whysomething famous might be there someday, like a fancy hotel where therich and famous would stay, and he wanted to be the only one with thepictures of it before it was built. But later, Takeshi felt very embarrassedwhen Roberto asked one of the construction workers what was beingbuilt on the site—and Takeshi learned it was to be a parking garage!。

随着价格和建筑成本的不断上升，“自食其力”（DIY）趋势持续增长，我们需要为我们的客厅准备家具，“约翰·罗斯说，”我们只是没有足够的GH钱购买它。
所以我们决定试着做几张桌椅。
约翰六个月前结婚了，现在和许多年轻人一样，他们正努力在生活费用很高的时候回家。
Rosses在一所夜校上了280美元的为期两周的课程。
现在他们把所有的家具都修好了，修理房子周围的Jim Hatfield有三个男孩，他的妻子死了。
他在家里有一份全职工作，还有一家制鞋厂。
上个月，他收到了S420的一张汽车修理单，“我对此很苦恼。
现在我已经完成了一个汽车修理课程，我应该能自己修车。
约翰和吉姆并不是不寻常的人。
美国的大多数家庭都在尽其所能来省钱，这样他们就可以与高昂的生活费用抗争。
如果你想成为一个“自己动手”的人，你可以去上DIY课程。
对于那些没有时间参加课程的人来说，有一些书告诉你，你可以自己做事情。
我们中的一些人花了高中的时间去解剖青蛙，在偶尔的舞蹈中感到尴尬，但是西班牙的一小部分学生在教育时间方面做得更酷了：他们把数码相机送到了太空，一个老师和四个来自Catal莱斯拉比巴斯学校的学生。
西班牙航空公司购买了一个价值60美元的气球，并安装了一个80美元的数码相机，然后把它送上天空，拍摄一些高空照片。
这个小组只想看看他们是否能让他们自制的气象气球飞到大多数商用飞机飞行的高度。
但是到了30000英尺，气球一直爬升到离地球20英里远的地方，在太空的边缘。
利用气象传感器和谷歌地球追踪气球
的进展，团队追踪了大气状况，并捕捉了一些令人惊奇的照片。
四名学生和他们的老师在2009年2月完成了实验。
该小组自己建造了电子传感器部件，然后将它们连同摄像机一起放进一个保护性的外壳中，然后将钻机释放到天空中，气球上升到100英尺以上的高度，然后掉落地面。
该团队飞行超过10公里寻找气球和设备。
他们惊奇地发现，尽管暴露在极端恶劣的环境中，设备仍在发出信号。
尽管存在争议，直接面向消费者的基因检测正变得越来越流行。
这种基因测试更像是自己动手做的诊断。
它变得几乎一样容易作为一个家庭怀孕测试。
人们可以使用他们的信用卡在网上订购一套工具，用刷子去除一些脸颊细胞，返回工具并通过电子邮件接收报告。
DTC测试成本从几百美元到几千美元，可用于从乳腺到癌症的超过800个条件。

人口可能是特别准备DTC测试，因为它有一个自己动手的伦理，习惯于支付口袋里的医疗服务。
提供基因测试的公司热衷于广泛的DTC测试的前景。
他们认为基因测试与非DNA测试没有什么不同。
但并不是每个人都为消费者能够接受基因测试而感到兴奋。
有些人担心DTC基因检测对公众构成危险。
患者可能会经历心理伤害，因为他们可能不理解结果意味着什么，那么在互联网上缺乏监管也可能导致这样一个事实，即网络给你的信息可能是非常误导和潜在的危害你。
然而，只要医生能帮助他们，许多人对缺乏监管感到满意。
那么DTC基因测试的未来是什么呢？我们不能指望在未来几年里对基因疾病进行广泛的自我筛查。
但我们可以预测某些疾病的DTC基因检测的增长，并完全期待这种技术将与我们同在。
