国际交流英语视听说3原文及翻译Unit 1Analytical ListeningListening 1OK, so today we're going to continue on the topic of how children are socialized. We'll be looking at gender socialization-in other words, how, how children learn their gender roles. Gender is something that we learn-first from our parents, then from our peers, from school, and from the culture we live in.OK, let's start with our parents. Generally, our gender roles are pretty clear to us by the time we're around three years old. So how do we, how do we learn these roles so quickly? Well, one way is simply by what our parents say to us. Parents give female children a lot of compliments on how they look- -on their appearance, right? We say things like, "What a pretty girl!" or" That's a nice dress you're wearing." Girls might get compliments on other things, too, but they, they soon learn that being feminine has something to do with being attractive or pretty, right? Boys, in contrast, are complimented on what they do. We say things like, "Look how fast little Timmy can run!Good for you, Timmy!" So over time, boys learn that being, being masculine has something to do with their behavior and with being active.Our peers, when we're children girls and boys around the same age as we are also teach us about gender roles, and sometimes they're not very nice about this either. They make fun of children who aren't following the rules. Can you remember kids from your childhood who didn't follow the gender rules? Schools continue, schools continue the process of gender好的，今天我们将继续关于儿童如何社交的话题。

The city of Machu Picchu was built by the Incas high in the Andes Mountains in what is now Peru. The Inca civilization lasted from around A.D. 1100 to around A.D. 1500, when the Spanish arrived in South America. After the Incas were defeated by the Spanish, few people knew about Machu Picchu. Then in 1911, an American explorer named Hiram Bingham found the city. At that time, it was a very quiet place. Today, Machu Picchu is a popular destination for tourists. Some people worry that the visitors will damage the historical site. Other people say that tourism brings money into an area that very much needs it.

Unit7Traditional and Modern MedicineBook 3Student: Hi, Professor Sullivan? Professor: Hi, Patrick. Come on in.Student: Thanks. I wanted to ... to talk to you about this morning’slecture.Professor: Good. Have a seat. What would you like to know?Student: Well, in the lecture, you talked about some really promisingmedicinal plants, like chicory, and ... and some others, I think. And, um, ... also about those two anti-cancer drugs that are made from rosy periwinkle.Professor: Well, actually, they’re made from a synthetic chemical, ...but it’s the same chemical that’s in rosy periwinkle.To be continued >>>Listening 1Student: OK, so ... basically, what I’d like to know is ... why they’renot studying hundreds of plant species looking for the next great medications.Professor: That’s a good question, and the answer’s prettycomplicated. First of all, it costs a lot of money to develop any new drug, and then to do empirical studies on it and get government approval. It’s just a long, expensive process.Student: Sure, but isn’t it worth it if the new drug can save lives? Professor: Yes, but there’s more to it ... With traditional remedies,there are a lot of variables. Imagine that a drug company learns about a plant that’s supposed to inhibit the action of a virus—like the chicory plant, for example.To be continued >>>Listening 1Professor: They do experiments with the plant, and nothing happens.It turns out—afterwards—that they picked the wrong sub-species of the plant, or they picked the plant at the wrong time of day ... Really! The plant chemicals can actually be different in the morning than they are at night ... Or, or maybe the plants were old instead of young, or ... some other plant was growing nearby ...Student: Wow ... do those things really make a difference?Professor: They can. The crucial thing to remember is that scientistsneed to know exactly which chemical from the plant is active, and they need to put a standard amount of thatchemical in each tablet or injection, and they need to make sure it won’t kill anybody.To be continued >>>Listening 1Student: Can medicines actually kill people?Professor: It’s possible ... That’s why they have studies to find outwhat the medicines will do ... They might start with rats and mice, but eventually, they need to do large clinical trials with human beings.Student: That makes sense. And are those clinical trials expensive? Professor: Absolutely, and they take time, too.Student: Well, I guess I can understand the problem, then. It’s ashame though ... with plant species going extinct and all, I mean, one of those plants could ... might be the cure for some disease, and we’ll never know about it.Professor: You could be right.To be continued >>>Listening 1Student: Well, I need to get to the library. Thanks for taking the timeto talk to me.Professor: No problem at all ... Anytime. See you in class.Listening 1Teresa: Did I tell you my father is having a hip replacement nextweek?Aiden: No, what’s the matter with his hip?Teresa: He has a lot of pain in his hip—from arthritis. It must behereditary because everyone in my family gets arthritis when they get older.Aiden: Yeah, it’s very common—unfortunately, ... but isn’t hipreplacement a pretty radical surgery?Teresa: No, not really ... I mean, it’s major surgery, but it’s fairlysimple and it’s over in a few hours.Aiden: I see. So what does the surgery consist of? What do they haveto do?To be continued >>>Listening 2Teresa: Well, they remove part of the bone at the top of the leg, andthey put in a, a device—a metal device. It has a ball and ... a socket, just like a real hip joint.Aiden: Hmm ... And then how long is the recovery? Will, will yourdad be in a lot of pain?Teresa: He’ll be in a hospital for a few days, and then he needsphysical therapy for six weeks to make the leg muscles strong again. There will be some pain, but it shouldn’t be too severe. Aiden: That’s good.Teresa: Definitely, but even when something is wrong, my dad tendsto pretend that everything is fine ... If he is in pain, I’ll never know about it.To be continued >>>Listening 2Aiden: My father is the same way.Teresa: The extraordinary thing is ... after the surgery and therecovery, the hip will be as good as new. He’ll need to be careful, of course, but he’ll be able to take walks, or travel, or whatever.Aiden: That’s great. I hope it goes well for him. Teresa: Thanks.Listening 2Narrator: Have the sniffles? Feeling under the weather? Have an acheor a pain? Then generally, our first stop is the drugstore. But this luxury is only allowed to humans. It may not surprise you to learn that the rest of the species that inhabit the planet come up with some very interesting ways of self-medication. Deep in the English countryside, animal behaviorist Cindy Engel studies a new form of biology called zoopharmacognosy—or animal self-medication. Cindy’s dedicated the last few years of her life into compiling all of her research into a new book.To be continued >>>Cindy Engel, Animal Behaviorist: I often have people asking mewhether it’s just instinct , and … and the answer is, is, is no —you know, I mean the, the ability to seek out a well balanced diet is incredibly complicated, and they are adjusting it moment to moment . Narrator: Engel suggests there may be examples where humans,having studied animals’ self-medicating, have come across benefits ourselves in drugs or chemical uses. Cindy Engel: Early medicine was based on observing the behavior ofsick animals. It’s relatively recently that we’ve stoppedlooking. Chimpanzees have already shown six or seven new compounds previously unknown to science , many of which are incredibly important for human medicine.To be continued >>>Narrator: Engel’s book has received enormous interest in scientificcommunities across Europe and North America. She’sconcentrated on three main areas of animal self-medication. First are curative measures, whereby animals have theability to cure contracted ailments. Second are preventative measures, whereby animals take positive action to protect themselves from illness or parasites. And lastly areavoidance measures, where animals have the knowledge or insight to avoid toxic plants and select the right food to keep themselves on a healthy diet. Cows, for instance, have certain ways of improving their self-health.To be continued >>>Cindy Engel: Cattle have got a special type of stomach—they have toferment, the, the tough fibrous material in the grass. And fermentation requires a really carefully-balanced level of acidity, and clay will, being, being alkaline, will help balance acidity for the fermentation process. Narrator:And this is not an unconsidered part of the cow’s ecologyand behavior. Some species will travel long distances just to get to the right type of dirt.Cindy Engel: Wildebeests, in, in Africa, are probably the bestexample. They will migrate to the volcanic ash floor. It contains these essential minerals for lactation.To be continued >>>Narrator: Observing wild animals self-medicating is something that’svery rarely seen, but during Engel’s research she came across some groundbreaking video footage. Cindy Engel: This snow leopard was being treated for a bladderinfection . She lives in San Francisco Zoo, and she had to go on a course of antibiotics, and antibiotics can cause nausea, and all the while she was suffering from nausea, she was eating grass continuously. And of course, when the antibiotics stopped, so did the grass eating.To be continued >>>Narrator: So, in an attempt to combat the effects of this man-madeantibiotic, this wild animal has resorted to self-medication by way of a good dose of grass. Whether it is buffalo eating mud to combat parasites or primates using plants to eliminate stomach infections , animal self-medication, or zoopharmacognosy is an area of biology that’s sure to attract much more attention in years to come .Using plants as natural remedies for health problems is nothing new. In fact, almost two-thirds of the earth’s population still rely on the healing power of plants. For them, nothing else is affordable or available. Plant-based medicine has also captured the attention of many scientists, who are studying plants’ ability to restore health and fight diseases such as cancer.In India, where many people talk about their symptoms with a traditional healer instead of a medical doctor, Darshan Shankar has created the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions. He says that preserving the knowledge of these healers is as crucial as conserving the plants they use. “The world has realized it should be concerned about saving biodiversity. But cultural knowledge is just as important.”To be continued >>>Listening 1Nat Quansah, an ethnobotanist who lives in Madagascar, studies plants such as the rosy periwinkle. A synthetic version of the active chemical from that plant is now produced in laboratories and made into drugs that inhibit cancer growth. Quansah knows abouthundreds of other promising plant species that could be the basis for future medicines.Jim Duke, now retired from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, still teaches and writes about medicinal plants such as chicory, which contains chicoric acid—a chemical that may someday be used to fight a deadly virus. Duke says that empirical studies of medicinal plants are needed. “We can use science to test plants, tofind what works best. The issue is how to use science to get the best medicine, be it natural or synthetic.”Listening 1As a child in Mozambique’s Niassa Province, Feliciano dos Santos caught the polio virus from the dirty water in his tiny village. “When I was young,” he recalls. “I never believed I would grow up, get married, have children, drive a car, and live such a full life ... ”These days, Santos and his band Massukos use music to spread messages of sanitation and hygiene to some of the poorest, most remote villages in Mozambique. Their hit song, Wash Your Hands, is part of a public health campaign created by Santos’ non-governmental organization (NGO), Estamos. The project hassuccessfully convinced villagers to install thousands of sustainable EcoSan latrines, dramatically improving sanitation and reducing disease throughout the region.Listening 2To be continued >>>Santos’ NGO also works on programs to install pumps for clean water, conduct health studies, and combat a new cholera epidemic. Says Santos, “Clean water is a basic human right, yet so many don’t have it. I’m using my music to be the voice of people who have no voice.Listening 2Imagine visiting your doctor for an annual exam—only this time the checkup consists of a routine DNA test. Using information from the test, your doctor not only predicts the hereditary health problems you’re likely to have in the future without having to ask about your personal history, but also selects the best medications for you. Although people tend to think of genetic mapping as very expensive and time-consuming, scientists can do genotyping—assessing one specific part of the genetic information—rather than reading a person’s entire genome. Since genotyping can be done quickly and inexpensively, it’s an extraordinary tool for assessing a patient’s risk factors.Listening 3Imagine visiting your doctor for an annual exam—only this time the checkup consists of a routine DNA test.

B3U4L1 audioA leading US scientist has predicted that computers will be as intelligent as humans by 2029. Futurologist Dr Ray Kurzweil told the American Association for the Advancement of Science that in the near future, machine intelligence will overtake the power of the human brain. He said that within two decades computers will be able to think quicker than humans. Dr Kurzweil painted a picture of us having tiny robots called nanobots implanted in our brain to boost our intelligence and health. He told reporters that these microscopic nanobots would work with our brains to make us think faster and give us more powerful memories. Kurzweil explained that we are already “a human machine civilization” and that the upcoming technology “will be a further exte nsion of that.”Dr Kurzweil was one of 18 top intellectuals asked by the US National Academy of Engineering to identify our greatest technological challenges. Other experts included Google founder Larry Page and the human genome pioneer Dr Craig Venter. Kurzweil has a very impressive background in science and innovation. He was an innovator in various fields of computing, including the technology behind CDs. He also pioneered automatic speech recognition by machines. He predicts the pace of new inventions w ill increase greatly from now. saying: “… the next half century will see 32 times more technical progress than the past half century.” (46) This means scenes from science fiction movies will become more and more a part of our everyday lives.B3U4L2 audioThe scientists who launched the Human Genome Project believed in the power of genetic information to transform health care to allow earlier diagnosis of diseases than ever before and to fuel the creation of powerful new medicines.But it was also clear that genetic information could potentially be used in ways that are hurtful or unfair— for example denying health insurance because of an increased risk for developing a particular disease.Aware of the danger and hoping to ward it off, the founders of the Human Genome Project created a program to explore the ethical, legal, and social implications of new genetic knowledge. The goal was to anticipate problems that might arise and to prompt solutions.For example, in the future, doctors will likely be able to give each of us a “genetic report card” that arise But will we really want that information? How will it be used? Who will have access to our genetic information? arise.The challenge of addressing these issues is not reserved for scientists. We all have a stake in making sure that everyone will benefit from genetic research and no one is harmed.B3U4L2 home listeningWhat has science done for you lately? Plenty.

For those who really want to get away from it all, a new holiday destination has sprung up —Antarctica. However, this new hotspot, or freezing zone, might only be for those with the deepest pockets if a new policy gets under way. Tourism on Antarctica has been increasing dramatically in the past twenty years, from a few thousand people in 1985 to more than 40,000 in 2007. The growing numbers are having a negative effect on the pristine environment of the South Pole. To combat this, researchers from Holland’s Maastri cht University have come up with a possible solution: limit the number of tourists allowed to visit and auction the vacations to the highest bidders.Many environmental protection agencies agree that there is a need to protect the frozen wilderness from the damage created by modern tourism. Antarctica is the last unspoiled place on Earth. It has a very delicate ecosystem that could be easily upset by hordes of tourists landing in airplanes and using skimobiles. A difficulty exists because Antarctica is not a country and therefore has no government to pass laws or guidelines to control the number of visitors. The Maastricht University team’s proposal to auction off a fixed number of tourist places seems a workable solution. It would limit the number of visitors and therefore contain the amount of environmental damage, and the money would be used to protect Antarctica’s future. B3U6L2 audioTraveling to World Heritage sites is rewarding! It is about exploring unique environments, engaging with cultural splendours, experiencing a different way of life and building lasting memories. The following are some great travel tips that canenhance your trip and benefit the World Heritage sites you visit. Here are the tips:Before traveling, first find out as much as possible. The more you know about a World Heritage site before arriving, the more the site will come alive. Second, pack light. It is tempting to pack everything you think you might need, but remember to be smart about your necessities. Packaging items like the paper box of your film or the plastic wrapping of your new toothbrush simply consumes space in your bag and can create excess trash for the World Heritage site. Finally, explore transportation options. Traveling affects the environment. Wherever possible, try to minimize your pollution and impact on the environment by looking to alternative transportation and off-setting your carbon emissions.During your traveling, tread lightly and respect the natural environment. These destinations are World Heritage sites because of their exceptional natural or cultural splendour. While it is important to support local economies, certain tourist activities and souvenirs can damage a fragile World Heritage site. Say “no” to souvenirs that are a piece of the site itse lf and to tourist activities that may be harmful to a site’s longevity.B3U6L2 home listeningWith nearly 1 billion tourists crisscrossing the globe every year, it’s more important than ever for travelers to minimize their individual (36) ___________ on th e earth’s natural and cultural treasures.

Although gaming addiction is not yet officially recognized as a disorder by the American Medical Association, there is increasing evidence that people of all ages, especially teens and pre-teens, are facing very real, sometimes severe consequences associated with compulsive use of video and computer games.Video games are becoming increasingly complex, detailed and compelling to a growing international audience of players. With better graphics, more realistic characters and greater strategic challenges, it’s not surprising that some teens would rather play the latest video game than hang out with friends, play sports or even watch television.Of course, all gamers are not addicts – many teens can play video games a few hours a week, successfully balancing school activities, grades, friends and family obligations. But for some gaming has become an uncontrollable compulsion. Studies estimate that 10 percent to 15 percent of gamers exhibit signs that meet the World Health Organization’s criteria for addiction.. Just like gambling and other compulsive behaviors, teens can become so enthralled in the fantasy world of gaming that (46) they neglect their family, friends, work and school.B3U7L2 audioScriptInternet Addiction Disorder has long been recognized as a social problem.According to psychological counselor Li Jianling, if you have the following (36) symptoms, it is likely that Internet addiction has begun to infiltrate your life. Internet addicts lose track of time and spend less and less time on meals at home or at work. They are used to eating in front of a computer screen. Also, they deny spending too much time on the Net. They can’t help going online when already busy at work, and they sne ak online when family members aren’t at home, with a sense of (39) relief.It’s a commonly known fact that Internet addiction can have a devastating effect on peoples’ health and social lives. Adults may lose the most important years for their career development and students may waste too much of their (43) youth in front of a computer screen.But why is Internet addiction so prominent in China? Li Jianling explains that many youths are the only children in their families. They don’t have enough chances to associate with parents and relatives. Also, the lack of activities for adults can lead to Internet addiction. When people grow up,if they don’t spend time on sports or other positive interests, they often turn to theInternet to kill time.How do we deal with this problem? Li Jianling says (46) associating more with family, friends and nature can really help Internet addicts kick the habit.B3U7L2 home listeningResearch studies show that only 10–15% of gamers meet the criteria for addiction. Heavy game use is (36) ___________ by the American Medical Association as playing for more than two hours per day, yet (37) ___________ of the amount of time gamers spend playing video games (38) ___________ from 6 to 12 hours per week.

Questions
1. Look at the photo. How old do you think these gas pumps are?
Example Answer 3
I don’t think the pumps are very old. They’ve been outside, so the weather has worn away the paint. But the design is fairly modern, so they might be 30 or 40 years old.

Questions
3. How would your life be different if gasoline cost twice as much as it does now?
Example Answer 2
My life would not be very different because I usually walk or ride a bicycle. I also buy most of my food from local farmers, and higher gas prices wouldn’t affect them much. I don’t buy a lot of clothing, electronics, or other goods, so higher prices on those things wouldn’t affect me very much.

Questions
1. Look at the photo. How old do you think these gas pumps are?
Example Answer 2
I think the pumps are 50 or 60 years old. Gas pumps older than that had large glass containers on top. You pumped the gasoline into the container. Then gravity moved the gas down a hose and into your car’s gas tank.

Questions
3. How would your life be different if gasoline cost twice as much as it does now?
Example Answer 1
My life would be very different because my family has a car. My parents use it to go to work, to go shopping, and to go out at night. If gas cost twice as much, we would use the car less, and only for necessary trips. In addition, the price of many things would also go up, so we might not have enough money to buy all the things we buy now.
