What do you think education is for?
The purpose of education is to diffuse knowledge and civilize people, just as the writer of Another School Year---What For? Pointed out: “The business of the college is not only to train you but to put you in touch with what the best human minds have thought. If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for the fine arts, for that lesson of man’s development we call history---then you have no business being in college. You are on the way to being the mechanized savage, the push-button savage.”

""Thank you.Now let's look at your mock interview on videotape. ""I think it boils down（归结为）to preparation,presentation, and understanding what the interviewer is looking for "(Watching the videotape)"Another way of answering it is not telling about yourself ,but telling your relationship to the job."So,they don't care so much about your parents and that you want to live in Cambridge.They may need you to be able to be a troubleshooter.You use some examples in your life from being a troubleshooter.""One of the things that someone who is an assistant in a trade show is doing,is dealing with problems.You need to be sure that you stay,sort of ,on target with preventing,presenting yourself in the strongest possible way."This time I felt a lot more confident when I went in for the interview."I have developed strong communication skills.In college I worked on the school paper and I brought some writing samples to show you.""I also worked every summer at a bed-and-breakfast.""I worked a lot with our guests.I booked reservation over the phone,got them what theyneeded,and handled any complains.""Well,I feel like I did really well.We'll see. "Making a good first impression is the most important part of a job interview.Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefullyNot fidgeting（坐立不安，烦躁）and being confident are the most important things in a job interview.Writing a thank-you note is the most important thing you want to do after a job interview/And go in there with a firm handshake.Listening in"It's not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't"This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage（积累优势）,a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.It's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.Listening in 2P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric...um...you're from the States,tell me what are the typical working hours in the States?E:Er...traditionally people go to work at 9o'clock in the morning and they finish at about 5,so sort of a 9to 5.P:And,and Penny I...I know you're English but you work in Brazil,what are the hours in Brazil?Penny:Um varies slightly,sometimes you can start um on an early shift,say,8o'clock in the morning to 5 um or 9 until 6.But in Brazil often people will work longer hours than this.P:Right,right ok.And what kind of clothes do you wear?I mean do you dress up formally or in a relaxed way?E:It used to be that you would wear a jacket and tie to work for...for men but er nowadays an open shirt is ok.You don't necessarily have to wear a tie and sometimes on a Friday you can wear a pair of jeans to work.P:Oh,right the dress down Friday?E:The dress down Friday that's right.P:Does that still happen?E:Yes, yes sure it does.P:And how about in Brazil?Penny:Um, it's fairly casual,quite informal,um I mean you need to look neat and tidy obviously,but you,you have your own choice rely on whatyou would wear,there are no rules and regulations.It's important to look smart but comfortable.P:Right,yeah do you have meal breaks or is that...you just fit in meals when you can or...?E:Lunch,lunch is usually an hour sometimes a little shorter if you have to do a lot of work from your desk.P:Yeah,how about Brazil?Penny:That's the same, about an hour.P:And,and with overtime,I mean,if you...I mean you're obviously contracted to do a certain number of hours.What happens if you do more than the hours that you...that's in you...that are in your contract?E:I have to make a fairly um strict record of my hours so if I go beyond 5 o'clock on most days I put in for overtime.P:Right.E:And it's...the first hour is one of overtime and then there's I think 15minute periods after that.So I could work an hour and a quarter.P:And you'd be paid for the quarter hours?E:That's right,by the quarter hour.P:How about in Brazil?Penny:It's,it's a lot looser in Brazil actually.We we often end up doing overtime but unfortunately not paid.P: Fine.That's hard luck.And what about holidays,what about in the States?You don't have much holidays in the States do you?E:No.When you start at a company you get two weeks holiday or two weeks vacation as we say...P:YeahE:Um then it's usually not until you've been at the company for about five ears that they give you another week.So you get three weeks after you've been there for five years.P:And what about in Brazil?Penny:Um it's quite good actually-30days.P:Sounds very generous.Penny:Yeah I can pop back to...P:Is that 30 working days or 30 days in total?Penny:That's 30 working daysP:Wow,that'sPenny:Yes,yeah it's a good deal.P:What about retirement?I know it's a long way of there!When do you retire?E:Generally speaking it's at 65.P:And the same for women.E:Um it's I think a little sooner than that for women.Women I think 62or 63.P;Right ,good.And in Brazil is it similar?Penny:Similar to the States.It's um after 60 for women.65 for men,or if you've clocked up about 30 or 35 years of service then you can retire after that.P:Right and when...do you have a pay day?When is pay day?E:Um,well ,we gt paid twice a month,so we get paid at the beginning of the month and then we get paid in the middle of the month at the 15th give or take(大约).P:Yeah,and what about in Brazil?Penny:I think it all depends which company you're working for.For the one I am working for right now I get paid twice a month but when I began,with a different company that was once a month,so,it varies.P:And are there any company benefits that you have in the States?Do you have a company car or a pension?E:Yeah,we get a company car.We're able to...we lease a car in effect but it's a company car that we get for 18 months to two years and then we...we can move on to another model from that.There's a fairly good pension scheme,that's still working,and hospitalization as well.P:Oh,that's importantE:Yeah,a health plan through work is very important.P:Right.And what about in Brazil?Penny:Yeah,excellent benefits like that.Well I mean it does depend on the company and the status of your or your job but you might get a car,living accommodation,school for the children,they'll pay for your lunch,travel passes,gasoline,health insurance,all sorts of benefitsactually it's very good.P:Sounds very good,with the holiday and all those benefits it sounds a great place to work.Unit 2Outside viewConversation 1Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.Andy: OK, sure.Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books? Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet?Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.Andy: Have you read them?Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me.Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle（伦敦视角）?Andy: Not necessarily.Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?Joe: Absolutely.Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography（自传）of Charles Dickens which I'm reading.Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.Joe: OK, tell us more.Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.Andy: Sounds right up your street（拿手的）!Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it!Conversation 2Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this?Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves（使某人心烦意乱）.Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain. Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode（集，一集）.Andy: And was he a Londoner?Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old.Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels.Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator（社会评论员）as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century. It makes mewant to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave（突然想到的妙计，灵感）to suggest the new biography.Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping!Outside viewBritish people read a lot. They read books, newspapers and magazines. And of course they read text messages on their mobile phones. Sixty-five percent of British people list "reading for pleasure" as a major hobby. A quarter of the population reads more than 20 books each year. So where do these books come from? Well, there are bookshops where you can buy books. And there are lots of public libraries where you can borrow books for free. In this library you can borrow books, but you can also buy a cup of coffee, look at an art exhibition, sit in a quiet study area or connect to the Internet. Y ou can also now borrow CDs, videos or DVDs of films and television programmes. Some libraries even let you borrow computer games. There are often reference rooms where you can go to look something up or go to study. Many libraries have also got special rooms with books and photograghs about the historu of the area. Libraries are very important in schools and universities both for study and for reading for pleasure. The British Library is one of the world's greatest libraries. The queen opened its new building in 1998. It receives a copy of every book published in Britain, and adds three million new items every year.It's got books of course, but also sound recordings, music, maps, newspapers, and magazines. People predicted that radio, then television, then the Internet will kill reading, but it still a very popular activity.Listening in 1M：So how long has your book group been running?C：Well, let me see, it's over 20years now. I think it's actually one of the oldest books groups around, because it was only about 20years ago that they started to become fashionable in the UK.M：And how often do you have meetings?C：We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to（前奏，预备期）Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.M：And how many members do you have?C：We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can attend.M：And what happens during the meeting?C：Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start fairly late, around 8:30, and the host prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts.M：It sounds quite informal.C：It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it's fairly rare that no one likes the book, and it gets quire interesting when opinions about it are divided.M And what sort of books do you read?C：Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction than I might do otherwise. But we also read the classics, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and whereas I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly（惹人恼火地）dull. And we read non-fiction. quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like poetry, which I don't, but you know, we're tolerant each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.M：And how do you choose the books?C：Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.M：And that works OK?C：Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's respect. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!Listening in 2Well, thank you for your kind welcome, and for giving me the opportunity to give this brief tour of Literary England. I can't claim it's an authoritative tour, as I'm, not a professional literary specialist. However, I have two amateur passions: one is travel and the other is reading and English literature in particular. And this lecture is a description of different visits I have made to places in Britain and Ireland, chosen specifically for their close links with well-known writers of what we call the classics of English literature.Just to give you an overview of the lecture, I'm going to start in my home town of London, which is also the home of many well-known writers. But I think that the picture we have in our mind of London has been largely fashioned by the work of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. Dickensian London is illustrated most clearly by his book Oliver Twist, and Shakespeare's London brings to mind the plays written and performed here, such as Romeo and Juliet. We'll also have a look at the memorial of freat British writers, Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.Then off we go to Oxford, another city rich in its literary history. I'm, going to focus on the greatest of Oxford's literary alumni, JRR Tolkien, the professor of English who wrote Lord of the Rings, which is now famous throughout the world because of the recent series of films.Then we turn south towards the gentle countryside of Hampshire, home of Jane Austen, where her various novels, including Price and Prejudice are set. She also spent a period of her life in the magnificent Georgian city of Bath.Then we turn north to the hills of west Yorkshire where we find Bronte country, so called because it was the home of the three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. Perhaps the two best known novels are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyer, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, also made into successful films.Then up to the north-west, to the stunning land of mountains and lakes which is the Lake District, home of the Lakeland poets. Perhaps its most famous son is William Wordsworth, whose poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" has been learnt by generations of school children not just in Britain, but around the English-speaking world.So that's the basic route round Literary England, although I'll be thinking several detours to visit other famous writers whose work contributes to the glory which is English literature. Let's start…Unit3Outside viewLondon has always prided itself on being a little bit different when it comes to fashion. At the catwalk shows, designers showcase the hottest new trends for journalists and buyers from all over the world. But away from the glamour of designer collections, what do London girls actually wear? How do they create the affordable, personal style they are famous for? Hannah, who works for a fashion magazine, says London’s unique style is all about mixing and matching. One day can be punk. Next day you can be really girlie（少女般的）. It’s kind of choosing what you want in your wardrobe. Maybe taking an expensive piece but mixing it with something cheaper or second-hand. I think that is what London girls are really good at doing. Portobello Road, in the trendy Notting Hill area, is home to one of the most famous markets in London. Here, you name it and people wear it-anything from market stall bargains to to-die-for（令人渴望的）designer labels sold in trendy shops. But how do the capital’s women view their style? Eclectic. My style is certainly eclectic. It is from Tesco. It is the Catherine Kidston range from Tesco. Sam is matched her outfit today with a bag she bought in a supermarket. Angela is a fashion stylist. So tell me a little bit about your life. What are you wearing and what would you say your style is? My style tends to change week by week. Today I am wearing some jeans from Uniqlo.I’ve discovered Uniqlo jeans and bought about five pairs cos they fit really well. The boots are by Aldo .My T-shirt is from Tooshop. The jacket is a really old jacket that I bought in the States a few years ago. But um, yeah I mean it just…it does tend to change a lot. Over to New Bond Street, London’s designer shopping Mecca（胜地）and the style stakes have gone up a little. Some of the most famous and expensive shops in the world can be found here. Shops where you have to ask the price of that handbag…or pair of shoes…then you know you can not really afford it. Natalie, a student from the city, says being laid back is what gives London style its edge. I don’t know. Everyone says like. French is like so fashionable and stuff but I think we are quite trendy, we are a bit more casual, but I think we have got a good style going on and everything, a bit laid back, but everyone still looks cool. Seylia works in a jewelry shop. No shabby chic（流行式样，时尚）here. Cashmere scarf from Louboutin, because it is cold. Black coat from Prada and a Valentino bag, which is probably as colorful as it gets. Katie is a model and loves how people dress in London because everyone has their own individual style. I love London it is so unique.And like everyone’s got their own fashion. I love it here, because you can wear whatever and just fit in, it is great. I love London for that. Laura is a student and says she doesn’t really put any thought into what she is wearing. Fashion, I wouldn’t really call it fashion. It is just kind of chucked together, basically, what I am comfortable in. Camden is known for its grungy（脏的，乱糟糟）, daring and sometimes outrageous（极不寻常的）styles. Here fashion is whatever you want it to be. Teenagers don’t hold back much when it comes to choosing clothes. They just want to make personal statement .We are just crazy! We don’t hold back so much. It’s not all about being elegant or something like that. It’s more making a statement, some people. And we don’t care. Listening inPresenter: How often do you change your clothes during the day?Penny: Um I think it all depends on what I’m going to do. Um it might be as many as three times if…Presenter: Three times.Penny: Yes, if I was …if I was going to go to gym, for instance, having dropped the children off at school I’d be wearing an outfit for…just a。

Today I invite you to join me in an exploration of the causes of depression. There are many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain, called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear, it is known that antidepressant medications do relieve certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one's personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is frequently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one's early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth noting that those living with someone suffering from depression experience increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Keys: (1)families (2)chemicals (3)information (4) certain symptoms (5)self-esteem (6)thinking patterns (7)mood (8)divorce (9)physical abuse (10)financial difficulties (11)stress (12)anxietyTask 3 happiness indexAustralians were the happiest people in the world according to a survey undertaken by two market researchers. They conducteddoor-to-door surveys and interviews with nearly 30,000 people in 30 countries. They asked respondents how satisfied they were with their overall quality of life. Forty-six percent of Australians proclaimed to be "very happy" and expressed optimism about their future. Following them in the "very happy" group was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary got the wooden spoon, finishing bottom of the happiness chart. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were either "disappointed" or "very unhappy", followed by Russians at 30 percent.The research demonstrated that money and age were key determinants in how happy people are. Although the study did not indicate money could buy happiness, it did reveal a link between a lack of money and unhappiness. Less happy populations were found among lower-income groups or the unemployed.The study also suggested that on the whole, the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people. The age group with the lowest levels of happiness was 50-59. Only 16 percent of those in their 50s said they were very happy.The factors that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage. Material comforts such as cars, clothes and gadgets ranked comparatively low.Keys: B D A A Cl Let’s TalkWhen I first met my parents, I was really shy, and I was, and I was in my foster home and I ran upstairs, shy, and I was in my bedroom crying,and my mum came up and said, "Oh William, are you OK?" and I ignored my mum, 'cause I didn't know her and I was scared. So, then my foster mum came up and I came down and we had some fun time. It was nice when I first arrived. I thought, "Oh goody, two sisters, I can play with them." But now it's just, "Oh no, not them again!" I argue with one of my sisters about her rabbits, 'cause she doesn't let me touch them. Well she does, but...When I have a bit of a bad time with my sister, I go and speak with my mum and my dad. I feel most comfortable speaking to my dad about all my worries and stuff. I wish I had a brother in this family, but then it's just nice (being...) having two sisters, but I'd rather have a brother anyway. I mix with different people. I'm mostly friends with adults, 'cause I normally see adults more than children for some reason, I don't know why. It was scary going from my primary school to secondary school, but then that's just me growing up, and I've got to take the chances and take, just take what I've learned already and just move on and learn different things.Keys: (1) shy (2) crying (3)scared (4) came down (5) fun (6) nice (7) two sisters (8) argue (9) touch (10) bad time (11) speak (12) comfortable (13) brother (14) adults (15) children (16) secondary (17) growing up (18) learnl Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Big John is coming!A bar owner in the Old West just hired a timid bartender. The owner of the establishment was giving his new employee some instructions on running the place. He told the timid man, "If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, drop everything and run for the hills! He's the biggest, nastiest outlaw who's ever lived!"A few weeks passed uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand came running through town yelling, "Big John is coming to town! Run for your lives!"When the bartender left the bar to start running, he was knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. As he was pickinghimself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall. He was muscular, and was growling as he approached the bar.He stepped up to the door, ordered the poor bartender inside, and demanded, "I want a beer NOW!"And with one strike of his heavy fist, he split the bar in half. The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking. He took the beer, bit the top of the bottle off, and downed the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hid behind the bar, the big man got up to leave. "Do you want another beer?" the bartender asked in a trembling voice."Dang it, I don't have time!" the big man yelled. "I got to get out of town! Didn't you hear Big John is coming?"(S1) owner(S2) running(S3) drop(S4) run(S5) local(S6) yelling,(S7) lives(S8) As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall.(S9) The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking. (S10)I got to get out of town! Didn't you hear Big John is comingTask 2 Reason and emotionEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason, as is suggested by phrases such as "appeal to emotions rather than reason" and "don't let your emotions take over". Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with;but during an emotional state, they cannot control themselves. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is the contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest that there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed facts. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called "cold", and others involving the extreme of pure emotion not related to any logical argument, which is called "the heat of passion". The relation between logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, even one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no "pure" decision or thought; that is, no thought is based "purely" on intellectual logic or "purely" on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.Key : A B C C DTask 3 Every cloud has a silver liningPat:You look depressed.

I've always thought you looked very attractive without makeup—you know, sort of natural.Rebecca:Well, thanks, Susan, but most girls wear makeup these days and I want to compete.Susan:Maybe I can help.

How about eyeliner too?Susan:Yes, but you want a subtle color to bring out the green in your eyes...without looking like a clown!Rebecca:That's what I want... to make other girls into green-eyed monsters. How does this one look?Susan:Good choice. Now if we can add a bit of color to your cheeks, you will be the classiest of the class.Rebecca:Thanks! But you haven't said anything about lipstick. I'll need a tube of that, too.Susan:This color will perfectly complement to the rest of your makeup. You look elegant and classy.CAADB2.Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you'll find it interesting learning how to be fashionable without spending too much money.Sure, some famous stars always look stylish. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending lots of money on your wardrobe. Simply try the following suggestions on for size.First, make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, and summer dresses at the end of the season. You'll get major discounts as you stock up for the next year.If you want clothes to wear right now, go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they're perfect for buying things like T-shirts.There is yet another cheap way to buy stylish clothes. Many department stores have store brands, which offer current styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.To save money, an important principle is not to buy "outfits". With the exception of suits, interchangeable pieces are more affordable.Wear-with-anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of black trousers and a white dress shirt; you can wear them several times a week, paired with different accessories. Accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags make even the simplest outfit look polished.Finally, a great haircut always helps. When your hair looks fabulous, you look more stylish and fashionable.Correct answerthe enddiscountsT-shirtsbig-name brandsInterchangeable piecesblack trousersseveral timessimpleststylish and fashionable3.A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is based mainly, though not only,on the physical beauty of the contestants. But often it also includes personality, talent demonstration, and question responses as criteria of judgment.The origin of modern beauty pageants can be traced to the Miss America Pageant, which was first held in Atlantic City in 1921. This pageant eventually included preliminary eliminations, an evening gown competition, musical variety shows, and judging by the panel. Still, the contests were at first shunned by middle-class society. Pageants did not become respectable until World War II, when beauty queens were recruitedto sell bonds and to entertain the troops. The Miss America Pageant is the largest provider of college scholarships for women in the world.Many trade associations have multi-level beauty contests which select queens as ceremonial representatives. The queens may appear at official receptions to present awards, to represent the industry in festivals, to present consumer information to the public, or even to lobby for the industry. For example the South Carolina Watermelon Queen may do a tour of supermarkets to do tastings of different varieties of watermelons. With the increasing popularity of beauty contests, winners have become role models for many young girls. They aspire to become a beauty queen one day.However, there are also criticisms of beauty contests. Although some contests are not based purely on physical appearance, "unattractive" contestants are unlikely to win, no matter how talented, intelligent, kind-hearted and educated they are. In addition, since "beauty" in these pageants is usually represented by unusually thin women, some people question this concept of beauty. Worse still, if a pageant violates the religious or cultural practices of a country, it may cause protests and demonstrations.ABACDV let’s talkTask 1In the early part of the 20th century, few people paid attention to fashion. It was only the very wealthy who changed their clothing styles to what they thought were the latest fashions of the day. Fashion in the 1900s was designed to give women an hourglass or s-curved figure. This was achieved by using a tightly fitting corset, stiff underwear worn around their hips and waist to make the body look slimmer. Compared to the last century, women's dresses became lighter in construction and material. A popular style in this period was the lingerie dress, a very light white cotton dress with strips of open lace and net. In the 1900s women's hats began to grow larger. A trend in the early part of this decade was to wear them tilted slightly forward. In Europe, men's clothes had become more formal, but the opposite was true in the United States. There the popular style was brightly colored shirts with hard white collars worn under sporty jackets. In the 1900s men's hats continued to be very popular and were worn by both the rich and the poor. When a new type of hat was first introduced, there was often a period when people from different classeswore it. However, after some time usually members of only one class would wear it. In the early 20th century, top hats were typically worn by wealthy people especially at formal occasions, such as weddings and church services. Often they were accompanied by silk gloves and a cane. Poorer people, on the other hand, particularly younger workers, would usually wear cloth caps.wealthyclothing stylesfigureslimmerconstructionlightlargerformalbrightly coloredthe rich and the poorone classoccasionsPoorer peopleFurther listening > Task 1Stylist:Morning, sir. This chair, please. What can I do for you?Nick: A simple haircut—short on the back and sides.Stylist:Very good. I can, of course, do something more fashionable for only $60. Nick:Sixty dollars! That's highway robbery—twice what I ordinarily pay. Stylist:Perhaps, sir. But your haircuts haven't been in harmony with yourcharacter. Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick:I've never heard of such a thing.Stylist:I'm an expert at matching hairstyles to personalities, if I may say.Believe me, you're suffering a "disjunction".Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?Stylist:Your hair does not match you.Nick:This is utter nonsense. However, I'd like to hear how you'd solve this so-called problem.Stylist:Your character is artistic, imaginative. But your hair is dull. I can correct that imbalance in seconds.Nick:OK, let me see what you can do about the... uh... disjunction, as you call it.Stylist:We're going to use scissors to create peaks, which we'll keep in place with a liberal helping of gel... This tuft in the back we'll braid intoa pigtail. Now, it's the new you!Nick:I love it. It's just like me: imaginative and artistic. Now what are you doing? What's wrong?Stylist:Something's preventing your hairstyle from being a true fashion statement.Nick:For heaven's sake, tell me what's missing.Stylist:Streaks. By putting in a few yellow streaks in your hair, it will becomea work of art. Streaking will cost you more, but...Nick:Do it. Forget the cost. But, by the way, what is the total getting to be?How much am I paying to avoid the disjunction?Stylist:That's... $135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted. CAABATask 2John:There goes Camilla. She looks gorgeous today, doesn't she? Her skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom. Her lips are a perfect Cupid's bow. She must have dozens of admirers.Becky:I wonder what she looks like without all that makeup. She must put it on with a spoon. It's like a mask. I don't understand what men find so attractiveabout her.John:Do I detect a hint of jealousy?Becky:She has nothing for me to be jealous about.John:I'll bet you believe in those sayings like, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."Becky:True beauty comes from within. Natural materials should be enough to bring it out.John:But do you always stick to those rules? I remember seeing you in the kitchen with some green substance smeared all over your face.Becky:They were cucumbers. They're natural healers of the skin. Haven't you heard people say on TV that they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, and build strength and resilience?John:Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah! See,I can even recite that advertisement.Becky:You've learned a lot, haven't you?John:Since you can keep your skin so young-looking and maintain your figure so well, you might as well write a book on beauty secrets.Becky:Don't pull my leg. Anyway, you'd do well to try the cucumber treatment on yourself. Put some cucumber slices on your head. At least they'll keep that bald spot from shining so brightly.BABABTask 3Susan:Hi, Rebecca, are you all excited about the big trip?Rebecca:Hi, Susan. I sure am. Mix business and pleasure and travel on an expense account.Susan:It looks as if I'll have to pay extra for overweight luggage. How did you manage to fit everything into one suitcase?Rebecca:You need to pack smart. First, I chose two colors, and then built my wardrobe around them.Susan:But we will need clothes for dress, casual wear, and sometimes sort of in-between "dressy casual".Rebecca:That's all true enough, but I have a pair of black dress slacks, with blackshoes to match. If I wear that with my turquoise silk blouse and a matchingnecklace and earrings, I will look dressed up.Susan:Sure you will, but that is only one outfit.Rebecca:If I wear a T-shirt with the same slacks, I am more casual.Susan:And you really have two outfits, don't you?Rebecca:Well, not really, I have three. If I bring a pashmina, or a dress scarf,I can dress up the T-shirt into casual chic.Susan:Three outfits? But your suitcase doesn't look nearly that full!Rebecca:Yes, and if I add a skirt that works with the blouse and the T-shirt, it increases the number of my wardrobe combinations even more.Susan:And different accessories, necklaces and scarves, for example, will give you a different look again without adding much weight.Rebecca:Now my suitcase will be half empty, with lots of room for shopping.Answers：She chose two colors, then built her wardrobe around them.She has a pair of black dress slacks, with black shoes to match.

Michael Dell:Michael Dell serves as Chairman and CEO of Dell Computer Corporation. He is the longest tenured CEO in the whole computer industry. By using his innovative direct-to-consumer marketing approach and by pioneering the industry’s first service and support programs—the build-to-order revolution, Dell Computer Corporation has successfully eliminated the middle-man and established itself as one of the top vendors of personal computers worldwide.Frederick SmithFrederick Smith is Chairman, President and CEO of Federal Express Corporation, or FedEx, a global provider of transportation, e-commerce and supply chain management services. But when he first came up with the idea of overnight delivery service, nobody seemed to be interested in it. And now with its just-in-time delivery system, Smith has made FedEx a multi-billion dollar industry. FedEx used to provide mainly water and air delivery, but now it’s making a big push into the ground delivery business.B. Fred must stay competitive in the following aspects:1) the quality of service2) the breadth of the network3) the unique services needed4) the costPart 3 Michael Dell vs. Frederick Smith (2)A.Efficient information system can A great part of the economy will work on “supply chain” because1) take out all the unnecessary costs of transaction and processing and help find more applicable products or services;2) shrink the distance between the source of demand and the source of supply. 1) About 40% of businesses today are operated on a fast cycle basis, so you’ll have a world of choice;2) Almost everything can be presented to you on a computer and you cancustomize almost anything;3) You can have it delivered very rapidly.B. Question: What keeps you going and what have you left to accomplish? Michael:Motivation: The opportunity in the industry, in the business Ambitions1.

It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。

But, now, the center can make a different call and get him medical attention right there.The Day Care Provider contacts the Doctor at University of Rochester Medical Center to see if he can do a live visit via the Internet.Jonathan is one of nearly a thousand pre-school children in upstateRochester, New York who can have a live visit with a doctor without ever leaving their day care center. The Provider inserts the ear thermometer to take his temperature. Audio, video and medical images are sent over the Internet to a physician at the University of Rochester Medical Center.The Doctor inquires about the child's previous medical condition, "Has he had problems with ear infections in the past?" The Provider responds "Yes, he has had one in the past."Fayla Bermudez with her sick childThe child's mother, Fayla Bermudez, thinks the new service is great. In the past she says she would have had to go to the emergency room.A new study shows that each telemedicine visit saved parents four and a half hours of missed work. And for the children, health related absences were down 63-percent.One mother, Erika Haines, says, "They {the children} get seen, they get their medicine. They feel better and everybody is happy."Dr. Neil Herendeen, University of Rochester Medical CenterRochester doctor Neil Herendeen says telemedicine keeps people fromusing hospital emergency rooms for treatment, which saves insurance companies a great deal of money. "You can do a lot of telemedicine for the cost of one E.R. visit. And that's what got our local insurers on board."Dr. Charles ShubinBut pediatricians like Charles Shubin says the high-tech medical visits are no substitute for hands on care. "Ill children, I think, deserve better than a mechanical, electronic process of health care."The University of Rochester Medical Center doctors disagree, saying most of the time; remote visits are just as effective as face-to-face visits.The programs cost a lot to start up; the U.S. federal government has funded Rochester’s.

UNIT 1The Wedding of the CenturyIt was the royal wedding we remember best of all. Twenty-five yeas ago tomorrow. Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. CBS News correspondent Randall Pinkston looks back to a perfect day which didn’t turn out happily ever after.It was the wedding of the century, watched by over half-a-million people in Britain, and a worldwide audience of a staggering 750 million. The young bride, peering out smilingly from her glass coach, would become the most famous woman in the world, and change the monarchy forever. But that wa in the distant and tragic future. On this day in July, 1981, joy filled the land.This was a moment in history, that, you know, that Prince Charles is going to be king and this was his queen. She was so young, and so beautiful. And she had already sort of got a stranglehold on the hearts and minds of the people.British journalist Victoria Mather was one of the wedding guests that fabled day.“What do you remember most about that day?”“I remember most that it was just exactly like anybodyelse’s wedding. You know, the bride’s mom wore a flowery hat. You know, and there was the naughty little bridesmaid, the bridegroom looked nervous; and the bride fluffed her lines. I mean it was just so like anybody else’s wedding, it was just writ large.”Like the train of Diana’s wedding gown, which seemed to go on forever. Elizabeth Emanuel, with her then-husband David, designed the dress. Right after the wedding, they received a phone call.“It was Diana, and we, we couldn’t believe it, and she had phoned to thank us for making her wedding dress and saying she felt so beautiful in it.”UNIT 2American Workforce in TroubleIt is Labor Day, of course, a time to salute the American worker, but there is new information suggesting it's tougher than ever to be in the American workforce. A big new government report found that American paychecks are not keeping pace with inflation. So where are the good jobs? We asked ABC's Dan Harris to look for them.At the top of the class, and by that, we mean upper class -- doctors, medical professionals, ranging from surgeons toobstetricians to orthodontists -- make up 10 of the top 11 highest paid professions in the country. Chief excusive officers come in at No. 10, earning an average of $142000 a year.As for blue-collar workers, Forbes magazine reports that subway conductors and flight attendants make the most, on average more than $62000 a year. According to new census data, the gap between rich and poor Americans is now at an all-time high, with the top 1/5 of American households claiming more than half of all the nation's income. What's more, a new report released just this weekend, indicates about 30% of households have a net worth of less than $10000. The bottom line for Americans seeking to reach the same standard of living as their parents, avoid the plastic and save wherever possible.It's very difficult to save a lot, but a few dollars, and as that saving nest egg begins to build, you'll see it, you'll, you'll want to contribute more.Now all of this is not to say that you have to become a CEO to live in comfort. Economists note there is still room at the top for stargazers. Turns out astronomers make big bucks as some of the nation's highest paid professionals.UNIT 3To Win a Nobel Prize"So how do you win a Noble Prize?""You get lucky, yeah, well you work hard for a long time, you, you look very hard of what's coming up in front of you, the date that you see, and you are instructed by what you see there. And, and you need a bit of luck, too."The Australian scientist never thought he was on a path to the highest honor in science. Doherty first trained as a veterinarian, but found his calling in the mysterious field of infectious diseases."My nominee is Zinkernagel."He teamed up with another young professor Rolf Zinkernagel, and made an awardwinning discovery almost by accident."We were doing some experiments to look at a particular question and then, then we suddenly got this very unexpected result, realized that it was probably extremely significant straightaway."The pair had cracked the code of T cells which Doherty calls the "hit man" of the immune system, how they fight infected cells and leave healthy ones alone."Firstly, It was so, so unorthodox, and so against the accepted wisdom that people didn't really even grasp what wewere saying."Experiments by others confirmed the findings and expanded on them, leading to new vaccines and advances in the fight against cancer. Nobel came calling two decades later and it changed Doherty's life. There were endless accolades, even having his face on a postage stamp."Well, you get a fair amount of money when you win it, you get invited to very nice meetings and very nice places, but you quickly find that you can't handle all that and you tend to go only to the things where you think you're gonna learn something new, or you're gonna be doing something useful."UNIT 4Bill GatesBill Gates has made many contributions...ur...throughout the last 25 or 30 years, most of all, of course, the Windows Operating System, which more than 90% of all computers in the world use today. He was a very shrewd, ur, business person at a, at an early age, almost as a teenager in fact, and he was one of the few people who could see a hobbyist maker, that is, a bunch of nerds sort of playing with computers and chips in their basements and how that could become a potential business.And one of the interesting things that Microsoft under BillGates' leadership, was able to do, is in fact...ur...take on some of the biggest computer companies, basically IBM...ur...at... You know, at a very early stage when IBM wasn't quite sure if the microcomputer was a toy or a potential business tool and Gates had faith that it was a business tool, he could see ahead, he has always been a, a fairly strategic thinker and uh... That in turn... Let him in fact, you know, dominate the computer industry that IBM would still like to be able to do.Will Microsoft innovate? -- That's a question that I usually answer by saying, I'm a historian so I live in the past and there are lots of people who are, soft of more expert in predicting the future, so I think I'll just leave it, leave it at that.UNIT 5Burn Your Perfect Man ChicklistAre you turning men off ? It may not be how you look but it may be something that you are totally unaware of. Hi, I'm Marie Forleo, life coach and author. And today I want to talk to you about the perfect man checklist and why you ned to burn that , girl .Most women have something called the perfect man checklist . It's anidea in their head about what the perfect man looks like and unknowingly everytime they meet a new guy , they're kind of scanning round trying to see whether or not hefits that perfect man checklist .Well,here is what I recommend - burn the perfect man checklist . That's right, lady, set it to fire. Here is why. That perfect man checklist was put together when you were a much younger version of yourself. It's probably put together from people in you family, things that you learned in school, and it may not be appropriate to the beautiful and irresistible woman you are today.When you have a perfect man checklist, it's cutting you off from boatloads of men that are out there that can be single, available, but they may not fit your pictures. I know for me, I used to think that I used to have to be married to be some Italian, very strong, masculing-looking guy, and I happened to be from Jersey. So we have that look. You know what happened when I burned my perfect man checklist ?I absolutely met the man of my dreams. So ladies, go ahead and burn that perfect man checklist . You 're gonna be so surprised at whom you meet . You never know, it could be your Mr.Right. For more advice on dating and relationships, check out my new book. Make every man want you, or make yours want you more. How to be so damn irresistible, you will barely keep from dating yourself.UNIT 6BombingsAtlanta, Georgia, a terrorist bomb explodes in Centennial Olympic Park, killing one woman, and injuring hundreds. North Cardwell, New Jersey, an advertising executive is killed when he opens a mysterious package which explodes in his hands. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, a powerful blast destroys the federal building, claming 168 lives. In all three cases, it's a race against time, as an elite division of the FBI known as the Explosives Unit attempts to catch the mad bombers before they strike again.FBI's Explosives Unit is a part of the FBI laboratory. It does the forensic examination of bomb components, unexploded bombs They also do residue analysis of the explosives that are used in bombs.Explosives examiner. Donald Sachtleben, agreed to take us inside one of the nation's most secretive crime-fighting laboratones. Here, this team of highly trained technicians and forensic scientists carefully combs through evidence, searching for any clues that will help the FBI capture a bornber. In Atlanta, the search for answers begins at ground zero, the scene of the Olympic bombing where every step is fraught with danger.At any crime scene, you have to assume that there could be other devices there what we call secodary devices or booby traps. Um, we've seen that recently in some of the bombings aroundthe Atlanta and Birmingham areas .In Atlanta, agents are sifting through the rubble of an abortion clinic bombing when suddenly, a secondary device explodes. Miraculously, no one is killed. But seven people are injured, including several federal agents. But in the aftermath of Olymic bombing, investigators rely on surprisingly common technology to search for deadly booby traps.The most effetive tool that we have is the X-Ray. We can actually go up to a package and with remote technique, we can put the X-Ray down, X-Ray the pachage and see whether or not it's a hazard.UNIT 7When Did Life Begin ?It's an age-old question--when did life begin?A new CBS news poll shows most Americans wouldn't peer into the universe for their answer. They would open their Bible Fifty-one percent believe that God created humans in our present form and forty-eight percent of those polled believe God created humans within the least 10000 years, even though scientific tests on skull fragments found in Ethiopia indicate humans were walking the earth nearly 200000 years ago.The poll results underscore a long-runing divide in Americaover evolution, science and God's role, creationism. The US Supreme Court has barred the teaching of creationism in public schools, but now there is a new challenge, called "Intelligent Design" which suggests a creator has an active hand at the development of species. Steven Mayor is an advocate of Intelligent Design.And what we have found in the study of biology is, number one there are such purposeful messages inscribed in DNA. And secondly, the attempts to explain the origin of that information by reference to purely physical chemical undirected processes has utterly failed over quite a number of decades.Dover Pennsylvania school officials are on trial right now in federal court sued by parents who don't want Intelligent Design in the curriculum. Critics, even some theologians say Inteligent Design is Creationism by another name.Intelligent Design, to put it very simply is, to me, a modern reformulation of an old theological argument for the existence of God.The Dover Pennsylvania school trial is expected to end early next month. Whatever the outcome, some legal observers believe it has a potential to reach the US Supreme Court at a time of growing political influence for conservative Christians.John?UNIT 8BillionairesLuisa Kroll and Allison Fass led a team of 30 Forbes reporters who ranked the world’s wealthiest for this week’s billionaire’s issue."A billion just isn't what it used to be. There are now 793 billionaires. Three years ago, there were only 476."For the 12th straight year, Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the world's richest man with 50 billion dollars. Investor Warren Buffet trails in second with a meager of 42 billion." I think for a cover we have..." Newcomers include cover boy Kelvin Heir, a Canadian, who has built up a billion dollar online gambling empire. And KP Singh, who owns the real estare under many Indian companies that are outsourcing centers. India now has 23 billionaires.Almost half of the world's billionaires are right here in the US. 371 to be exact, and between them, locked in the bank vaults, are assets worth well over a trillion dollars."Martha Stewart fell off the list this year, but Donald Trump is still on it; he is No.278. "Is it easier to make a billion dollars now? There are more billionaires." "I think it is probably easiernow than ever before, yeah." "And why is that?" "Because there are more ways to do it.""So I thought I would try to design something better..."British vacuum inventor James Dyson has literally sucker up his fortune. India's Tulsi Tanti made his out of thin air, by building Asia's largest wind farm. "It's good to be on the list."Billionaire Ronald Lauder, heir to his mother's Estee Lauder's cosmetics fortune, and founder of New York's Neue gallery, says even for him, looking at the list can get depressing.

Pre-listening discussion: Say names of animals you know Insects: bees, wasps, ants, termites, flies, butterflies… Carnivores: tigers, lions, leopards, wolves… Other animals: apes, monkeys, …
来源于拉丁文caro，“flesh”。carnal肉欲的，好色的；carnalism寻欢作乐的纵欲主义，是贪图 肉体 的享受；carnivore中字根vore指“吃”所以carnivore指肉食动物。herbivore食草动物； folivore食叶动物。甚至连carnation康乃馨，大多也是粉红色，肉色的。至于大家熟悉的carnival 狂欢 节，现在又翻译为“嘉年华”（根据该词粤语读音直译），过去是指在天主教为期40天的大斋 戒来临前， 人们聚在一起狂啃肉的情景。从字面上理解，拉丁文carne vale相当于英语flesh，farewell，相当于中文 “别了，肉（所以现在让我赶紧吃几口）”。

A package of plans
Tapescript
The G20 have come up with a package of plans that add up to well over a trillion dollars to tackle the recession. One key component is an agreement to treble to seven hundred and fifty billion dollars the resources available to the International Monetary Fund for lending to countries in trouble. They also want a tenfold increase in what are called special drawing rights which is rather like an IMF currency and which strengthen the foreign exchange reserves of its member countries. The G20 also plans closer regulation of financial firms with curbs on executive pay and new oversight of large hedge funds. The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, described the summit as marking a new consensus on tackling global problems.

If you got anorexia, what would you do? (Open)
