Listening InTask 1: Is your memory in good shape?M: Tell me your secret. Y ou're suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of- the-class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that linked studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: A w, that stuff's old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I'm talking about principles like "Mental Visualization", creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M" OK, that does sound different. Is "Association" a principle--you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you're familiar with?W: Right on! "Consolidation" is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate---or absorb--the new material into what I've already learned.M: You're moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I'm going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That's not the way. Follow the principle of "Distributed Practice". Shorter study sessions distributed over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you've got a good memory. But what about me? I've got a memory like a sieve.W: You're too modest. There's nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise.And don't forget it.Key: While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like "Mental Visualization", that is, creating a picture in one's mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of "Association", which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of "Consolidation", or reviewing one's notes after class and absorbing the new material into what one has already learned. When the man promises to study six-teen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of "Distributed Practice", which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: Y ou forgot my toast!An 80-year-old couple was having problems rememberingthings, so they decided to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to t~elp them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, "Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?"Before the old man left, she added, "Why don't you write that down so you won't forget?""Nonsense," said the husband, "I can remember a dish of ice cream !""Well," said the wife, "I'd also like some strawberries on it. Y ou'd better write that down because I know your memory is failing.""Don't be silly," replied the husband. "There're only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!"With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, "Hey, you forgot the toast!"F 1. The couple went to their doctor to have a complete physical checkup.T 2. At first the wife asked the husband to get her only ice cream.F 3. The husband refused to write a note, for he believed he could remember the toast.F 4. Finally, the husband brought the wife both ice cream and strawberries.F 5. The wife blamed the husband for forgetting to bring her ice cream and strawberries.For Reference1. He thought he could remember two things--a dish of ice cream and some strawberries.2. She took one look at the plate, glanced up at him, and blamed him for forgetting her toast.Task 3: Memory-Improving TechniquesThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced here.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer; if you work with sales, learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that it continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don't try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don't allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating on that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person's name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his name. Questions:1. What seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one's memory?A) Learning different things.2. What seems to be the best way to focus your attention?C) Concentrating only on what is important.3. How can you concentrate on a pen?D) Y ou can focus on its features.4. How can you relax yourself according to the passage?B) You can stop breathing in for a short time, and then breathe out slowly.5. What is the main idea of the passage?D) Memory-developing skills.For ReferenceStimulating one's memory, paying attention (or focusing/concentrating one's attention), relaxing, and making associations.IV.

I don't want to forget my own name.Amy: I don't think so. Perhaps it's just temporary forgetfulness. You'll be all right after a good sleep. Bill: I hope so. But as this is happening so often recently, I think I must go to seea doctor and get some pills.Amy: It's not as serious as that. Anyway, I wish you had a good memory for happy events, and a bad one for unhappy things.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hey, my trip to Beijing was fantastic.B: Tell me what interested you most.[The door bell rings and A answers it....A comes back.]A: Well, where was I?B: You were talking about your tour in Beijing.A: Oh, yeah.B: I bet you had a great time.A: Yes, I particularly enjoyed visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, though the admission fees were a bit too high for me.B: What were the fees?A: Let me see....Sorry, I can't remember any more.B: What's wrong with your memory?A: I hope it's not Alzheimer's disease.

But as this happens so often recently, I think I have to go to see a doctor.B: I don't think it's so serious. Anyway, a bad memory helps you to forget your troubles.V. Let’s TalkHow to improve your MemoryStudent: Professor, thank you for granting me this interview.I'm Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficulty memorizing things. Since you're an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how to improve our memory? Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that's largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I'm not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with otherimages. For example, if you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say,carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot,and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I'd visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there's another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys. Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys -- their feel, the sounds they make. Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed them in a drawer or the cold touch of the keys in your jacket where you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It's time for my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Key:Ways ofImprovingOne’s MemoryExamplesCreating images To remember theitems to buy at thegrocery store such ascarrots, eggs,bananas, and milkImages that may help:1. a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrotand banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with the sound and touch that mayhelp:1. The sound of the keys might remind you ofhaving placed them in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind youof them in your jacket.VI . Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: The role Memory Plays in Our LifeSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scientists areincreasingly interested in research on how to improve memory. Here are some factors they believe to be important in expanding memory capacity. To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential for your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesized vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Rosewell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a good memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has received. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one's ability to concentrate. Also, one's ability to store information would be affected.Keys:1. What is the passage mainly about?A) Factors related to memory development.2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?B) They contain vitamins.3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?D) Older people.4. What problem can a lack of water cause?D) All of the above.5. Why is sleep important to memory?C) Sleep helps the brain to revise and store information.Task 2: Where did the professor go?This is a true story, which happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they had invited a retired professor to supper. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after about 40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he had been doing in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task 3: How to Remember NamesYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, "This is Don Smith". About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that "this guy" will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can't think of his name although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remindyou to store the name in your "memory bank" each time you hear someone's name, and within a short time the "repeating" process can be discontinued.When you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about his or her appearance, position, or actions that "ties in" with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name on the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the "picture" in your mind's eye as you look at the name; or when you see the name, visualize the "picture" you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.For Reference1. Maybe we can't think of the name.2. We can repeat the name back to the person.3. We can repeat the name. In addition, we can visualize something different, unusual, or ridiculous about his or her appearance, position, or actions that "ties in" with his or her name.4. The descriptive information on one side of the card and the name on the other side.5. We can look at it repeatedly, see the "picture" in our mind's eye as we look at the name; or when we see the name, visualize the "picture" we have assigned to the name.News Report: A Dolphin ExhibitionA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man's most intelligent friend, the dolphin. The "Dolphins on Parade" exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorated dolphin paintings made of wood and other materials.The dolphins were shown at area businesses and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S.$750 to cover the artists' fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is a real dolphin, at the Dolphin Research Center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting, holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I’m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‘re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that’s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I’m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I’d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there’s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It’s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned. VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one’s ability to concentrate. Also, one’ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, “This is Don Smith”.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that “this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can’t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your “memory bank”each time you hear someone’s name, and within a short time the “repeating” process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that “ties in “with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the “picture” in your mind’s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the “picture” you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man’s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The “Dolphins on Parade” exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists’ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。

UNIT ONE THE EXPENSIVE FANTASY OF LORDWILLIAMSUNDERSTANDING SHORT CONVERSATIONS1. M: Did you read today's newspaper? "Lord Williams" was arrested two days ago. W: Why? I heard he poured a lot of cash into a beautiful mountain village and gave jobs to many people.M: You could never have possibly guessed the truth. He stole funds from Scotland Yard, and the fund was supposed to be used to pay spies and conduct secret activities against the Irish Republican Army.Q: What is the conversation about?2. M: Did you attend yesterday's lecture?W: Yes.M: The lecture was supposed to start at 9:00 ,'~ m., but the professor was an hour late.W: He would have arrived on time, but an accident jammed the main road for one and a half hours.Q: What does the woman mean?3. W: Robert, what a surprise! It's nice to see you again!M: Hello, Susan! My gosh! How long has it been? Wasn't it several months ago, the last time we saw each other?W: I think you're right. You know, we bought a cottage in a mountain village.We've been transforming it from a mess into a good place to spend our holiday. M: Sounds good!Q: What can be learned from the conversation?4. M: Did you hear that they are going to build a first-class hotel here, withfurnished rooms, wood-paneled stairs and an outstanding restaurant?W: Oh, no. It's going to ruin the neighborhood. They will have to tear down all those nice old houses.Q: What is the woman's reaction to the new hotel?5. W: How's your job going?M: Great! I'm enjoying it a lot. At first I was chosen to manage the construction work. And now I'm in charge of running the business. The only problem we have is that it's hard to obtain all the bank loans we need.Q: What is the problem the man has in his job?6. M: Did you hear the latest about David? He is going to move to Seattle.W: To Seattle? That's a long way from here! What in the world made him decide to move there?M: He inherited a large sum of money from a rich uncle there.Q: How does the woman feel?7. M: I know the foundation has given the community $10,000 to improve itsenvironment.W: The money will bring the community back to life. $10,000! They gave twice that amount, I bet.Q: How does the woman feel about the money?8. W: I can hardly believe it! Such a soft-spoken, well-dressed middle-aged man firedthree shots into a crowded birthday party, killing one man.M: To be more exact, he killed one man and wounded two other people.W: Has he already been sentenced?M: Yeah, he was arrested soon after the police arrived. He has been brought into court and sentenced to thirty years in prison.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?9. W: I'm taking my daughter out for her birthday tonight -- you know, to thatoutstanding restaurant.M: You can't go like that. You'd better change.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?10. M: What's your opinion of the village? You've spent your holidays twice there.W: It captured my heart when I first saw it.M: Is it a special village?W: Yes, there are fine stone cottages, a central area of green grass and a fantastic view of rolling fields and pine forests.M: If only I had some free time.Q: What does the man mean?11. M: More and more people are paying attention to the problem of computer crime.Have you heard about it?W: Of course. A month ago one of my colleagues was arrested because she transferred funds at our bank to accounts she had set up in other banks.M: How did they find out?W: Her bank deposits were so large that they were noticed by the bank's management.The bank notified the police.Q: What are the man and woman talking about?12. M: How do you like our boss?W: I find him a very charming man, very friendly, considerate -- not at all proud.M: I certainly can't disagree with you on that.Q: What does the man think of the boss?13. W: To his terrible embarrassment, there were many people around at the time. M: You're right. He was really embarrassed. He still turns red when anyone mentions what happened. The best thing to do is not to talk about it when he is around.Q: What does the man think they should do?14. M: How did you enjoy your trip to China?W: It was a wonderful trip. We went to Beijing to see the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and Beijing' s Siheyuan.M: But I heard they have tom down a lot of such houses because people in the city need better housing.W: Yeah, I think no one goes anywhere in the world to see apartment houses. How canBeijing be Beijing without Hutongs?Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: What made you steal so much money? Did you need so much?M: First, I discovered this huge amount of money. Then I went from the need to pay off a few debts to what can only be described as greed.W: You just couldn't hold back your greed for money?M: Yeah, there is no way to justify it.Q: What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?16. W: Good evening. Can I help you?M: Oh, good evening. Yes, please. I'd like to have some information about nice places where I can have a drink.W: Well, you could go to the pub not far from the hotel. It's a fine place to have a glass of Scotch whisky.M: Oh, that's a good idea.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?17. W: Harry, I heard you bought an estate with a fine brick house and a run-downhotel.M: Yes, indeed.

(B)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONSConversation1 (Dr. Scott and Thomas Hunt talk about a man called Martin.)M 1: Dr. Scott, I have had some problems since my father died and left me all his money. Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardensfor many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him$100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father'sroom when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brotherin New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us tomarry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leaveall his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father's second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundredthousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legalbecause it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father'smoney to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000.M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true!

How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5. Why did Dr. Scott say the story was clearly not true?Conversation 2M: Excuse me, madam.W: Yes?M: Would you mind letting me take a look in your bag?W: I beg your pardon?M: I'd like to look into your bag, if you don't mind.W: Well I'm afraid I certainly do mind, if it's all the same to you. Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker. And... and I use them for finding my way in the dark and...and for finding the keyhole late at night. And... and I happen to collect lighters.M: I bet you do, madam. Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come along with me.W: How dare you! I... Questions 6 to 10 are based on the conversation you have just heard.6. What does the man do?7.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with themoney? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B) Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D) Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.
