That is why scientists are so interested in findingwater in our solar system. Now, the American space agency has confirmed that there is water ice on the planet Mars.The discovery is a major step in the search for the conditions for life on the red planet. The discovery was madewith the help of an American spacecraft, the Phoenix Mars Lander. The spacecraft landed on the extreme north of Mars on May 25.On June 15, it dug a hole about seven centimeters deep in theMartian soil. The hole contained small particles of a light-colored substance. Scientists wondered whether the substance was frozen carbon dioxide, salt or water ice.Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the following summary.The news item is about the experiment carried out on Mars bya spacecraft.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and answer thefollowing questions.1.The American space agency has confirmed that there is waterice on the planet Mars.2.The discovery was made with the help of an Americanspacecraft.3.The Phoenix Mars Lander.4.It is a major step in the search for the conditions for lifeon Mars.5.The spacecraft landed on the extreme north of Mars on May25.6.It dug a hole about seven centimeters deep in the Martiansoil.7.The hole contained small particles of a light-coloredsubstance.8.Scientists wondered whether the substance was frozen carbondioxide, salt or water ice.News Item 2An American study has suggested that melting ice in theArctic Sea is threatening permanently frozen soil. The studyfound that rates of warming in northern Alaska, Canada andRussia could increase when the sea ice melts quickly. Duringsuch periods, the increase could be more than three times greater than the average twenty-first century warming ratespredicted in earlier studies.The new study is the work of scientists from the NationalCenter for Atmospheric Research and the National Snow and IceData Center. The findings were reported last month in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union.Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the followingsummary.The news item is about melting ice in the Arctic Sea that is threatening permanently frozen soil.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and answer the following questions.1.It has suggested that melting ice in the Arctic Sea isthreatening permanently frozen soil.2.In northern Alaska, Canada and Russia.3.The increase could be more than three times greater than theaverage twenty-first century.st month.5.In Geophysical Research Letters.6.The American Geophysical Union.News Item 3TAPESCRIPTSpace scientists have been searching nearby stars for planets with great success. The United States space agencysays that 264 exoplanets have been discovered so far. But,until now, few of the planetary systems found orbiting otherstars have been like our own s olar system. That has all changed with the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting a star calledFifty-Five Cancri in the constellation Cancer.The star is forty-one light years away from Earth. It isalso very similar to our own sun.Last month, astronomers announced the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting Fifty-Five Cancri. What makes the discovery extraordinary is that the new exoplanet orbits in what astronomers call a "habitable zone." This means t emperatures on the planet may b e warm e nough for liquid water to exist either on its surface or on one of its moons.Exercise A: Listen to the news i tem and complete the following summary.The news item is about the discovery of a fifth planet orbitinga star called Fifty-Five Cancri.Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and complete thefollowing passage.Last month, astronomers announced the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting Fifty-Five Cancri.

Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age t might be more prudent to have someone with her,so she went to (etch the porter from his basement. By this timeher legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down a nd accepted a cup of very strong tea, while he telephoned the police.They went through the rooms, being careful to touch nothing, as they did not want to hinder* the police in their search for fingerprints. It seemed a s though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over. At least sorting out the things she should have discarded* years ago was being made easier lot her. Then a police inspector arrived with a constable and she told them of her discovery of the ransacked flat. Theinspector began to look for fingerprints, while the constablechecked that the front door locks had not been forced, thereby proving that the burglars had either used skeleton keys orentered over the balcony. There was no trace of fingerprints,but the inspector found a dirty red bundle that contained jewellery which the old lady said was not hers. So their entry into this flat was apparently not tile burglars first job that day.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.I.A 2. C 3. C 4. A 5.

One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport.Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1.This passage is about the early history of flying.2.The key words are designs, an Italian artist, fifteenth century, eighteenthcentury, fly, float, balloons, hot-air balloon, April 1783, airships, September 1852, aeroplane.Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueBuying a CarB: Yes, I'm interested in buying a car.A: Have you anything in mind?B: Not really.A: What price are you thinking of?B: Not more than ￡13,500.A: Let's see now ...

The starts were all made from a point on the level sand about 200 feet west of our camp, which is located a quarter of a mile north of the Kill Devil sand hill, in Dare County, North Carolina.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity* of 27 miles an hour at 10 a.m., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer* at the Kitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.The flights were directly against the wind. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.After a run of about 40 feet along a monorail* track, which held the machine 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the ground, it rose from the track and under the direction of the operator climbed upward on an inclined course till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached, after which the course was kept as near horizontal as the wind gusts and the limited skill of the operator would permit.Into the teeth of a December gale（逆风）the "Flyer" made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.It had previously been decided that for reasons of personal safety these first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible. The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering* in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms. Consequently the first flight was short.The succeeding flights rapidly increased in length，and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 seconds was made, in which time the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and a distance of 852 feet over the ground.The landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the aviator. After passing over a little hummock* of sand, in attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder* too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected. The reverse movement of the rudder was a fraction of a second(转瞬间，顷刻) too late to prevent the machine from touching the ground and thus ending the flight.As winter was already well set in, we should have postponed the trials to a more favorable season, but we were determinedto know whether the machine possessed sufficient power to fly, sufficient strength to withstand the shocks of landings and sufficient capacity of control to make flight safe in boisterous* winds, as well as in calm air.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionOrville Wright (1871-1948), American aeronautical engineer, famous for his role in the first controlled, powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine and for his participation in the design of the aircraft's control system. Wright worked closely with his brother, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), American aeronautical engineer, in designing and flying the Wright airplane.During the years 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1903, the two brothers developed the firsteffective airplane. At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first successful flight of a piloted, heavier-than-air, self-propelled craft, called the Flyer. The third Flyer, which the Wrights constructed in 1905, was the world's first fully practical airplane. It could bank, turn, circle, make figure eights, and remain in the air for as long as the fuel lasted, up to half an hour on occasion.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1.On the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10:30 a.m. and noon, fourflights were made, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright.2.Under the direction of the operator it climbed upward on an inclined coursetill a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached.3.Into the teeth of a December gale the "Flyer" made its way forward with aspeed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.4.The height chosen was sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty a wind and withno previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms.5 .In attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected.Exercise C Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1.Four flights were made on the morning of December 17, 1903, two by OrvilleWright and two by Wilbur Wright.2.The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity of 27 miles an hour at 10a.m., and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer at theKitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.3.Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alonewith no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.4.The machine ran about 40 feet along a monorail track before it rose from thetrack.5.These first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible for reasonsof personal safety.6.The machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air in 59 secondsat the fourth trial.7.The early landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of theaviator.8.As winter was already well set in, it was not a favorable season for the trials. Exercise D After-listening Discussion Directions: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1.Because they wanted to know whether the machine possessed sufficient powerto fly, sufficient strength to withstand the shocks of landings and sufficientcapacity of control to make flight safe in boisterous winds as well as in calm air.2.(Open)Section Three NewsNews Item 1World Basketball ChampionshipThe semifinal round of the World Basketball Championship tournament is later today (Saturday) in the mid-western (US) state of Indiana.Argentina is the only undefeated team at the tournament.

To get here, the Maryland Terrapins had to beat three teams with great basketball traditions: Kentucky, Connecticut and Kansas.Now they face another, Indiana. While Maryland was one of the four top seeds in this 65-team tournament, the Indiana Hoosiers* were a fifth seed, and virtually no one expected them to reach the title game*. But they knocked off defending champion Duke in the third round, and in the semifinals they upset Oklahoma.Maryland coach Gary Williams knows it will take a solid effort to win. "Any team that's gotten to where Indiana has gotten, you don't look at their record. You look at how they're playing now, how they play. Any time a team plays team defense like they do, they have a chance to beat anybody. That's what concerns me the most, their ability to play together as a unit, because a lot of times you can play with anybody when you play that close together like they do."Indiana has 27 wins and 11 defeats this season. The last time a team won the national championship with as many as 11 losses was Kansas in 1988. Maryland has a school record of 31 wins against only 4 losses.

He would keep his dirigible tied to a gas lamp post in front of his Parisapartment and during the day he'd fly to go shopping or to visit friends.2. Since his was the first public flight in the world, he was hailed as theinventor of the airplane all over Europe.3.

His flight did meet the criteria: He took off unassisted, publicly flew apredetermined length and then landed safely.5. By the time the Brazilian got around to(开始考虑做) his maiden flightthe Wright brothers had already flown numerous times, including oneflight in which they flew 39 kilometers.Ask anyone in Brazil who invented the airplane, and they will say Alberto Santos-Dumont, a bon vivant as well-known for his aerial prowess as he was for his dandyish* dress and place in the high-society life of Belle Epoque Paris.As Paul Hoffman recounts in his biography Wings of Madness, the eccentric* Brazilian was the only person in his day to own a flying machine."He would keep his dirigible* tied to a gas lamp post in front of his Paris apartment at the Champs Elysees, and every night he would fly to Maxim's for dinner. During the day he'd fly to go shopping or to visit friends," Hoffman said.It was on November 12, 1906, when Santos-Dumont flew a kite-like contraption* with boxy wings called the 14-Bis some 220 meters on the outskirts of Paris. Since his was the first public flight in the world, he was hailed as the inventor of the airplane all over Europe.It was only later that Orville and Wilbur Wright proved they had beaten Santos-Dumont at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, three years earlier.But to bring up the Wright brothers with a Brazilian is bound to elicit* an avalanche of arguments as to why their flight didn't count."It's one of the biggest frauds* in history," scoffs Wagner Diogo, a taxi driver in Rio de Janeiro."No one saw it, and they used a catapult* to launch the airplane."The debate centers on the definition of flight.Henrique Lins de Barros, a Brazilian physicist and Santos-Dumont expert, argues that the Wright brothers' flight did not fulfill the conditions that had been set up at the time to distinguish a true flight from a prolonged hop.Santos-Dumont's flight did meet the criteria: He took off unassisted, publicly flew a predetermined length and then landed safely."If we understand what the criteria were at the end of the 19th century,the Wright brothers simply did not fill any of the prerequisites," said Lins de Barros.Brazilians claim that the Wrights launched their Flyer in 1903 with acatapult or at an incline, disqualifying it from being a true airplane.Even Santos-Dumont experts like Lins de Barros concede* this is wrong. He says that the steady winds at Kitty Hawk were crucial for the Flyer's takeoff, disqualifying the flight because it probably could not lift off on its own.Peter Jakab, chairman of the aeronautics division at the US National Air and Space Museum in / Washington, says such claims are preposterous*.By the time Santos-Dumont got around to his maiden flight the Wright brothers had already flown numerous times, including one flight in which they flew 39 kilometers.Even in France the Wrights are considered to have flown beforeSantos-Dumont, says Claude Carlier, director of the French Center for the History of Aeronautics and Space.By rounding the Eiffel Tower in a motorized dirigible in .1901,Santos-Dumont helped prove that air travel could be controlled.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionAlberto Santos-Dumont was a wealthy Brazilian aviation pioneer who came to Paris, France, at the age of 18 to live and study. He attempted his first balloon ascent in 1897 and had his first successful ascent in 1898. He began to construct dirigible airships powered with gasoline-powered engines in 1898 and built and flew fourteen of the small dirigibles. In 1901, he flew his hydrogen-filled airship from St. Cloud, around the Eiffel Tower, and back to St. Cloud. It was the first such flight and won him the Deutsch Prize and a prize from the Brazilian government. In 1902, he attempted to cross the Mediterranean in an airship but crashed into the sea. In 1909, he produced his "Demoiselle" or "Grasshopper" monoplane, the precursor to the modern light plane.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Script 1: tips on how to establish business relations onlineThe internet has changed the way we do business. Today with a few simple clicks, you can make contact with customers or suppliers from the other side of the world when engaging in international trade, you’re likely to be dealing with people from all sorts of different cultures. It is in your best interest to build up good relationships so that your partners and customers can grow together with your business relationship. Here are some tips on how to establish business relationship online.Tip 1, establish trust and credibility.When making your first contact, bear in mind whoever is at the other side of the line does not know you as a person. Instead of just bargaining with your demands and requests, take the time to introduce yourself properly. This step is necessary for settling a foundation for a good business relationship. It’s always easier to work with someone who you know as a person than to work with a faceless individual sitting on the computer at the other end of the world.Tip 2, mind you r net etiquette.There’s such thing as good manners on the internet. Since most of the time communications take place with the written task, it is important to remember not to convey the wrong messages. You don’t want to come across as an unreasonable person. For example, if you c apitalize all your words, your email may come across as impatient and even rude. Use nonverbal cues like smiley faces or be clear with your communications to avoid misunderstanding.Tip 3, ask, don’t demand.Demanding always spoils relationships. When there is an issue. Ask if it can be corrected in a nice and polite manner. You’re more likely to receive positive response if you ask nicely. If you demand in a forceful man ner whoever is on the other side would tend to behave in a similar manner. In the end, such actions are just harmful to business relationships.Tip 4, get in touch regularly.Even if it is just a simple email with a couple of sentences, be sure to get in touch every week or so. People drift apart due to a lack of communications so don’t let it happen to you, especially if you know you have really good partners and customers in your portfolio. Spend more time developing these accounts that you’ll think will grow your business. Eventually, the time y ou’ve invested in d eveloping those relationships will pay off handsomely.Tip 5, be personal.The internet is essentially a one-to-one communication tool. For instance, an email or an instant chat session tends to be personal. You’ll be communicating with just one person at a time so be a real and genuine person. There is no need to talk business all the time. Once in a while, drop a personal note or message to find out how your customers are doing. When you do so, you stay close your customers. If they are in need of help, just lend a helping hand, you’ll owe yourself a loyal friend. Your contacts will eventually help boost your international trade business to a greater height.Script 2 Mr Johnson’s conversation⏹Hello! My name’s Peter Johnson from the United States.⏹#How do you do, Mr Johnson? My name’s Chen Jian.⏹Pleased to meet you, Mrs Chen. /// Before my trip to China, I sent you a letter seekingbusiness cooperation.

Jenny may have a different idea towards pet treatment from Harry.B. Some pet-owners may overdo the treatment when their pets are ill.C. Harry is an expert on brain science of humans and dogs.D. Magnetic Resonance Scanner can be used in analyzing dog emotions.Script:Jenny: Hello, Harry, you look pale. What’s wrong?Harry: Hi, Jenny. It’s just Fido, my beloved dog. He’s been acting kind of lazy these days. Ever since we moved, he’s just been like this.Jenny: Oh my! Do you take him for a walk everyday?Harry: I used to, but now he doesn’t even want to play fetch. He loved that so much before.Jenny: If I were you, I’d take him to the vet. Probably he’s ill.Harry: Well, I did so yesterday. The vet says the reason he’s been so down is that he’s depressed, and he recommends we put him on medication.Jenny: Are you sure you want to take his suggestion?Harry: Y eah, I think so. We’re hoping that the medication will cheer Fido up. If it doesn’t, maybe we’ll consider upping his dosage until he seems back to normal.Jenny: Oh, no! I don’t know whether it’s good or not… I have a friend who put her dog on antidepressants, but I don’t think it’s fair to make an animal take drugs when he has no say.Harry: I agree sometimes pet-owners might go overboard, but they just want their pets to be happy and healthy. Oh, if only my Fido becomes his normal playful self again!Jenny: But is it ridiculous to spend so much money on an animal when there are people going hungry everywhere?Harry: I’ll tell you what.

I t’s unbelievable!Harry: Y es. They have now confirmed what many dog owners already knew. Dogs can understand our feelings! Researchers say that the finding is not just important to dogs and the people who love them, but it establishes a new type of comparative brain science and expands the possibilities for research. Jenny: Wow, seems that you know a lot about scientific research!Harry: Well, for Fido, I have made myself become an expert!Exercise 1 Global UnderstandingListen to the text for the first time, focus on the global idea of it and complete the summary.Psychology is the scientific study of the behavior of individuals and of their mental processes. Some of the personal factors are known as dispositional factors, while external things are known as situational factors. Modern psychology began in 1879 when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first experimental psychology laboratory in Germany. In 1890, William James published Principles of Psychology.Exercise 2 Listening and Note-takingListen to the first part of the text and take necessary notes with symbols and abbreviations with the prompts of the following words.Psychology —sci entific study of indiv idual behav ior & and ment al proc esses Psychologists — use their res earch to pred ict & and (ctrl) control behav ior Dispositional factors —Genet ic makeup, pers onality traits, att itudes, ment al state Situational factors —sens ory stimul ation, rew ards, act ions of other people Exercise 3 In-depth ListeningScript:What makes us similar to other people and yet so uniquely different? Why do we think, feel and behave as we do? Are we molded more by heredity or shaped by experience? How can the same brain that gives us the capacity for creativity, rationality and love also become the crucible for mental illness?Psychology is formally defined as the scientific study of the behavior of individuals and of their mental processes. Psychologists then try to use their research to predict and in some cases control behavior. Ideally, out of their basic research will come solutions for the practical problems that plague individuals and society.Whatever type of behavior psychologists look at, whether it’s laughing, crying, making war, or making love, or anything else, they try to make sense of it by relating the observed behavior to certain aspects of the individual involved and the situation in which the behavior occurred. For example, my genetic makeup, personality traits, attitudes and mental state are some of the personal factors involved in my behavior. They’re known as dispositional factors. They’re internal, characteristics and potentials inside me, while external things such as sensory stimulation, rewards or the actions of other people are known as situational factors. They come from the outside, from the environment in which my behavior takes place.Modern psychology began in 1879 when Wilhelm Wundt founded the first experimental psychology laboratory in Germany. Wundt trained many young researchers who carried on the tradition of measuring reactions to experimental tasks such as reaction times to sensory stimuli, attention, judgment and word associations. The first American psychological laboratory like Wundt’s was founded at the Johns Hopkins University in 1883 by G. Stanley Hall. Hall, the first president of the American Psychological Association, introduced Sigmund Freud to the American public by translating Freud’s General Introduction to Psychoanalysis. But 1890 may stand as the most significant date in psychology’s youth. That’s when William James published what many consider to be the most important psychological text of all time, Principles of Psychology. James was a professor of psychology at Harvard University, where he also studied medicine and taught physiology. James was interested in all the ways in which people interact with and adapt to their environment, and so he found a place in psychology for human consciousness, emotions, the self, personal values and religion. But the Wundtian psychologists like G. Stanley Hall rejected James’ideas as unscientific and soft. They argued that psychology should be patterned after the model of the physical sciences, so they focused their study on topics like sensation and perception--on psychophysics, measuring mental reactions to physical stimuli. Later they added investigations of how animals acquire conditioned responses and how humans memorize new information. These differences among psychologists in whatshould be studied and how one should go about it are still with us a century later. Text B LiespottingExercise 1 Global UnderstandingListen to the text for the first time, focus on the global idea and then choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. Which of the following is NOT a sign to show that Bill Clinton was a liar?A. He used a non-contracted denial.B. He used “that woman” to refer to Miss Lewinsky.C. He tried unconsciously to distance himself from his subject.D. He peppered his account with a little too much detail.2. What can you learn from the text?A. Only trained liespotters can detect lies.B. A fake smile will betray a liar.C. Liars don’t dare to look people in the eyes.D. Liars rehearse their words and gestures.Exercise 2 Listening for detailsListen to one part of the text and decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (NG).1. Attitude is the most important indicator in detecting lies. (NG)2. A person’s enthusiasm may indicate his dishonesty. (F)3. An honest person will keep silent since he believes in his innocence. (F)4. An honest person is eager to help you get to the truth. (T)5. An honest person will not be infuriated during the interview. (F)Exercise 3 Compound DictationListen and complete the summary below with the missing words from the text. People deceptive may be withdrawn, look down, (1) lower their voice, (2) pause, or herky-jerky. They are going to (3) pepper their story with too much (4) detail and in strict (5) chronological order. A trained interrogator will ask them to tell the story (6) backwards, and then track the deceptive tells. People rehearse their (7) words, but not their (8) gestures.Script:Trained liespotters get to the truth 90 percent of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54 percent accurate. Why is it so easy to learn? Well, there are good liars and there are bad liars. There are no real original liars. We all make the same mistakes. We all use the same techniques. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to show you two patterns of deception. And then we’re going to look at the hot spots and see if we can find them ourselves. We’re going to start with a speech.Bill Clinton: I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.Pamela Meyer: Okay, what were the telltale signs? Well first we heard what’s known as a non-contracted denial. Studies show that people who are over-determined in their denial will resort to formal rather than informal language. We also heard distancing language: “that woman”. We know that liars will unconsciously distance themselves from their subject using language as their tool. Now if Bill Clinton had said, “Well, to tell you the truth ...”or Richard Nixon’s favorite, “In all candor ...” he would have been a dead giveaway for any lies potter than knows that qualifying language, as it’s called, qualifying language like that,further discredits the subject. Now if he had repeated the question in its entirety, or if he had peppered his account with a little too much detail -- and we’re all really glad he didn’t do that -- he would have further discredited himself. Freud had it right. Freud said, look, there’s much more to it than speech: “No mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips.” And we all do it no matter how powerful you are. We all chatter with our fingertips. I’m going to show you Dominique Strauss-Kahn with Obama who’s chattering with his fingertips.Now this brings us to our next pattern, which is body language. With body language, here’s what you’ve got to do.You’ve really got to just throw your assumptions out the door. Let the science temper your knowledge a little bit. Because we think liars fidget all the time. Wel l guess what, they’re known to freeze their upper bodies when they’re lying. We think liars won’t look you in the eyes. Well guess what, they look you in the eyes a little too much just to compensate for that myth. We think warmth and smiles convey honesty, sincerity. But a trained lie spotter can spot a fake smile a mile away. Can you all spot the fake smile here? You can consciously contract the muscles in your cheeks. But the real smile’s in the eyes, the crow’s feet of the eyes. They cannot be consciously contracted, especially if you overdid the Botox. Don’t overdo the Botox; nobody will think you’re honest.Now we’re going to look at the hot spots.Can you tell what’s happening in a conversation? Can you start to find the hot spots to see the discrepancies between someone’s words and someone’s actions? Now I know it seems really obvious, but when you’re having a conversation with someone that you suspect of deception, attitude is by far the most overlooked but telling of indicators.An honest person is going to be cooperative. They’re going to show they’re on your side. They’re going to be enthusiastic.They’re going to be willing and helpful to getting you to the truth. They’re going to be willing to brainstorm, name suspects, provide details. They’re going to say, “Hey, maybe it was those guys in payroll that forged those checks.”They’re going to be infuriated if they sense they’re wrongly accused throughout the entire course of the interview, not just in flashes; they’ll be infuriated throughout the e ntire course of the interview. And if you ask someone honest what should happen to whomever did forge those checks, anhonest person is much more likely to recommend strict rather than lenient punishment.Now let’s say you’re having that exact same convers ation with someone deceptive. That person may be withdrawn, look down, lower their voice, pause, be kind of herky-jerky. Ask a deceptive person to tell their story, they’re going to pepper it with way too much detail in all kinds of irrelevant places. And then they’re going to tell their story in strict chronological order. And what a trained interrogator does is they come in and in very subtle ways over the course of several hours, they will ask that person to tell that story backwards, and then they’ll wa tch them squirm, and track which questions produce the highest volume of deceptive tells. Why do they do that? Well we all do the same thing. We rehearse our words, but we rarely rehearse our gestures. We say “yes”, we shake our heads “no”. We tell very convincing stories, we slightly shrug our shoulders. We commit terrible crimes, and we smile at the delight in getting away with it. Now that smile is known in the trade as “duping delight”. Part IV HomeworkA Listening TaskListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with what you hear.Some colors that people see late at night could cause (1) signs of the condition mental health experts call clinical depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in (2) low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.Doctors use the words clinical depression to describe a (3) severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and (4) thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators (5) designed an experiment that exposed hamsters to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they (6) sleep during the day and are (7) active at night. The animals were separated into 4 groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their nighttime period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much (8) sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the (9) more depressed animals drank the (10) least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in (11) blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is these animals didn’t show any sleep disruptions at all but they did have mucked up circadian clock genes and they did show depressive phenotypes whereas if they were in the (12) dim red light, but they did not.” Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive cells in the retina, have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send (13) signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the (14) natural sleep-wake cycle. He says there is a lot of blue in white light, thisexplains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness. Mr. Nelson has suggestions for people who work late at night, or those who like to stay up late. “My (15) recommendation is if you are just living a typical mostly active (life) during the day, mostly inactive at night, you want to limit the (16) exposure to TVs which are quite (17) bluish in the light they give off and computer screens and things like that. Y ou can get filtered glasses, you can get filters on your computer screen and on your eReaders and that sort of thing to put it more in the (18) reddish light.” The report on the effects of light on emotions was published in The Journal of Neuroscience.。

They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. What are these categories of food? They are 1? Green vegetables of all kinds, such as string beans, peas, lettuces, and cabbages; 2) other vegetables, including beets, onions, carrots, tomatoes and so on; 3) fruits, such as apples, peaches and bananas; 4) meat of all kinds, fish, and eggs; 5) milk and food made from milk, such as butter, cheese and ice cream; and 6) bread or cereal. Rice is also in this class of food.People in different countries and different areas of the world eat different kinds of things. They also cook their food in different ways and have their dinner at different times. Scientists say that none of these differences are really important. It doesn’t matter whether food is eaten raw ofr cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t mattter if a person eats dinner at four o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing, they say, is that every day a person should eat something from each of thes kinds of food.There are two problems, then, in feeding the ever-increadsing number of people on earth. The first is to find some way to feed the world population so that on one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywehere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be srong and healthy.Key to Exercise 11.What have scientist learned a great deal about? a2.Which of the following do the scientists advise us to do? c3.What problems need to be solved to feed the world’s ever-increadsing population? b4.What can you infer from the passage? bKey to Exercise 21.vegetables (a d f g)2.Other vegetables (k l m)3.Fruits (I o s)4.Meat, fish, eggs (b c e)5.Dairy (h j q r)6.Bread, cereal, rice (n p t)Passage 2Americans’ Favorite Food – the HuamburgerAmericans consume some 38 billion hambrugers a year. And they account for nealy 60 percent of all sandwiches sold over the counter, replacing the hot dog as the nation’s most popular food items.Hamburgers are popular because they are great tasting and basic, yet can be adapted to suit various tastes.Americans consume about 25 percent of their meals away from home, and about half of that in fast food restaurants. So it’s no wonder that nearly five billion hamburgers and cheeseburgers are served in cmmercial restaurants.No one can claim the exact date the first hamburger was made, but America’s favorite sandwich got its name in the 18the century from German immigrants from the city of Hamburg who brought their popular broiled chopped steak to the United States.What makes today’s hamburger perfect is debatable but it doesn’t really matter. Variety in hamburgers has become the norm. Though some restaurants specialize in basic burgers, others pride themselves on making every substance counts.But whether it’s a secret sauce or bacon oronion rings that draws people to hamburgers, Americans have many ways of creating a sandwich to suit individual tastes from the basic to the exotic.Many people literaly crave the taste of a hambruger. Some people say that they can eat a good burger every day of the week. In fact, fast food chains are now refocusing their efforts on the hamburger in its many varieties as a business strategy. They are looking for a taste that people don’t get tired of, even as food trends come and go.Key to Exercise 11.What used to be American pe ople’s most popular food items? b2.How popular are fast food restaurants among Americans? d3.What, according to the passage, makes today’s hamburgers perfect in the United States? d4.What seems to be the secret that draws American peopple to hamburgers?

No. 6 : conversationScript: (S: student; C: school custodian)S: Excuse me. I’m having a bit of an issue. I hope you can help me.C: Sure, what seems to be the problem?S: It’s the water in my dorm. You see, this morning, all of a sudden, the water started coming out brown. It looks like there’s dirt in it. I turned on the shower and --it’s a good thing I looked before I actually got in it – the water was as brown as mud I thought it was just a problem with the shower, so I turned on the faucet to brush my teeth and, guess what? Brown water in the sink too. And the worst part is that I may have … umm, drink some of that water. I got up in the middle of the night for a drin k of water, and I didn’t even look at it. I just drank some in the dark. So, I’m worried about getting sick. The faucet and the shower both need to be fixed.C: First of all, let me assure you that there is nothing to worry about. The whole city woke up to brown water today. It has been all over the news, and the reports I listened to on the radio said that, believe it or not, the brown water is safe to drink. The water has been analyzed for harmful bacteria, and none was found. The mayor was even on the radio this morning assuring citizens that the brown water does not pose at a health risk.S: Really? Well, that’s a relief. Not that I will drink it. It doesn’t look like something I want to quench my thirst with … or shower with. It is pretty disgusting. So, why is the water brown all over the city?C: In short, we are using too much water. When the weather gets hot, people drink more water and take more showers. They fill up swimming pools for their children and squirt each other with hoses to cool off. You know, in the heat water consumption goes way up. So, um, as a result, rust and other sediment gets stirred up in the water pipes and comes out of your faucet.S: Rust? Yeah, well, that makes sense, I guess. The pipes are made of iron … and iron can rust as it ages. So, when will this be fixed?C: Nobody is sure. The City is working on the pipes.S: In the meantime, am I supposed to drink rusty water?C: As I told you, the city has announced that the water is safe for drinking and bathing, but personally, I wouldn’t suggest drinking it. If I were you, here is what I would do. Fill up a container with water and let it stand for a while. The sediment will settle to the bottom of the container. Then you can pour off the clear water at the top of the container for drinking.S: Really? How does that work?C: The sediment is made up of little particles that are heavier than the water, do they actually settle to the bottom of the container.S: Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on showering?C: I’m sorry to say t hat you may have to resort to resort to using a hand towel for a while, dipping it in clean water ... doing that rather than showering.S: what an inconvenience … and knowing this city’s government, it will take an eternity to remedy.C: One more thing. Yo u shouldn’t try to wash your clothes in the rusty water because rust can stain clothing. Especially, um, white clothing. Some say that you can use the rusty water if you also use a rust stain remover, but I think it makes more sense to wait until the water is clear again before washing clothes.S: thank you for your advice. I will try what you told me since I’m really thirsty now.No. 7 ConversationScript: (S: student; A: computer lab assistant)S: Excuse me. Could you come over to my computer for a moment?A: Sure. Is there a problem?S: Yes. I, um.I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t seem to access Facebook. Whenever I type in the address, I get a message that the site cannot be displayed. Here, I can show you. A: Actually, there’s no need. You can’t access Facebook in any of the computer labs on campus. S: Way … why not?A: Well, there are only so many computers. If you’ve ever had to wait in line for one the day before a big project is due, you’re well aware of that. Last year, the university made the decision to block certain sites to help ensure computers would be used mainly for academic purposes.S: SO, Facebook isn’t the only site that is blocked?A: Far from it! You’ll find that you can’t access any social networking sites. That, um, includes Twitter, MySpace … anything like that. Oh, and sites that sell term papers and YouTube are on the banned list too. You also can’t get onto any of the free movie and music sites. We had a lot of students in here downloading songs onto computers to transfer them to MP3 players, and we had problems with viruses because of it.S: Well, it seems reasonable to stop people from using sites that can deliver viruses. But, blocking all of those sites? Are there any sites I can assess?A: Oh, yes. Most sites that students would commonly use for educational purposes are available, of course. Any sites that end in .edu will come up with no problem, and you have unlimited access to our online database of journal articles.S: well, that’s great, but it d oesn’t help me much with the paper I’m working on.A: What do you mean?S: For my ethics class …I’m doing a paper on privacy issues related to the internet. I came here to look over the privacy policies for a number of sites, but Facebook especially.A: Ah …well, that’s a different story. The policy isn’t entirely set in stone. If students have a legitimate reason to access a blocked site …such as, um, the one you just mentioned, the computer staff can unblock it.S: Okay, great! Would you like to sit here for a moment?A: I’m afraid it’s a bit complicated than that. There’s a short form you need to fill out.S: Go on …A: It’s quite straightforward, actually. You just need to provide your name, your student number, the site you want to access, a brief description of the reason why you need to access the blocked site, and the course you are doing research for.S: Sounds simple enough. So, once I do that, how long will it take before I can access Facebook? A: It’s just a matter of one of our computer techs logging into your account and adding it to your list of permitted sites. It should only take 10 minutes tops once you fill out the form.S: And then, I’ll be able to access Facebook whenever I come in here?A: No … Just for the next week. That usually gives students enough time to find what they need. If you need more time, you’ll need to complete another from.S: I’ll go fill out the paper now. I do appreciate your help, but I have to say this all seems prettyunfair and needlessly complex. I did pay a hefty fee to access the computer lab at the beginning of the semester, and it seems like I should be able to use my own judgment about the sites I choose to access.A: I hear you there. I’m a big YouTube fan myself, but there ’s not much I can do. Let ’s go get you that form so you can get your research done.No.8No.9。
