We must acquire this skill for success and enjoyment throughout our lives. Just think how much time we spend every day listening. We listen to the radio, television programs, concerts, tapes and disks. We also listen to teachers, friends, our family members and other peopl e. The better we listen, the more we will succeed in our work and study.Listening is basically the und erstanding of words and the relationship between sentences. Bad listeners only listen to separate words and separate sentences. They try to und erstandevery word and every sentence. This is impossibl e even when we listen in our language. A good stud ent will constantly examine his listening habits so that he can find out his strengths and weakness. In this way he can improve his listening skills.Part DPassage 1Mr. and Mrs. Green were going abroad for their holidays. They had a d og call ed Blackie which they were very fond of, but they coul d not take him abroad with them, so they wanted to l ook for a good place to l eave him whil e they were away. First they asked their neighbor Mrs. White for help. Then they call ed their coll eague Mr. Black. But both of them said they would not be abl e to take Blackie. At last they found a d og care center, which l ooked after dogs whil e their owners were away. The coupl e took Blackie there just before they l eft for their holiday, and sadly said goodbye to him.At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought the center might be cl osed at that late hour, they decid ed to wait until the next day before going to get Blackie. So the next morning Mr. Green got into his car and drove off happily to coll ect him.When he reached home with the d og, he said to his wife, “Do you know, d ear, I d on’t think Blackie can h ave enjoyed his time at the center very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something.”Mrs. Green l ooked at the d og carefully and then answered, “You’re right, d ear. He was certainly trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his stay. He was only trying to tell you that you were bri nging the wrong d og home. This isn’t Blackie!”Q 26. What d o you know about Mr. Green?27. Where did Mr. Mrs. Green leave Blackie whil e they were on holiday?28. When did they come back from holiday?29. Why did the dog bark all the way home?Passage 2Barbara, a night duty nurse in the l ocal hospital, was driving home in stormy weather. The road was icy and she had to drive very carefully. Sudd enly she noticed that the car ahead of her had l ost control on a patch of ice. In a minute, the car moved wil dly, roll ed over and then crashed sideways into a telephone pol e.It was an emergency, Barbara realized at once. She stopped her car and threw open the d oor. Thank goodness she was a nurse—she might be abl e to help. Without d elay, she ran towards the crash site. It was worse than she’d feared. Two girls of high-school age were in the car. One, on the passenger seat, had been killed instantly. The driver, however, was still breathing. She was unconscious though. Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wo und in the teenager’s head whil e her nurse’s e ye took in the other injuries—a broken l eg, maybe two, along with probabl e internal bl eeding. But if help came soon the girl might remain alive.Meanwhil e, a truck had pull ed up and the driver was calling for help on his cell phone. Soon Barbara heard the ambulance coming. A few moments later, rescue workers arrived. “Good job,” one said as he examined the girl’s wounds. “You’ve probably saved her life.”Q 30. How were the weather and road conditions when the accid ent happened?31. What did Barbara d o to d eal with the emergency?32. What can we conclud e from the story?Passage 3Two years ago I entered university. I was not excited but d epressed.One reason was that the campus was not so large and so beautiful as I expected. Also I found many books in the library were out of date. Moreover, I was told that the job prospects of university graduates were not so promising.The other reason was that, although I was acquainted with a great number of new classmates, I feel uncomfortabl e communicating with them.Eventually I became silent. I sel d om entered conversations with others. I was in l ow spirits. I didn’t truly know myself. At the end of the first semester I surprisingly found I did a poor job in the exams of almost all subjects. It was really a great shock to me.Then I d ecid ed to pluck up my courage and change my thinking. Now I spend several hours a day in the library to obtain new knowl edge acquisition is very important to university stud ents. I keep informed of what is going on in the world. I’ve also l earned to help and care for others. I’m not lively and self-confid ent. I believe that my future is bright.Q 33. How did the speaker feel when she entered university?34. What was one of the reasons why the speaker didn’t like her university?35. What can you l earn about the speaker?。

Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather –It sure is cold today, i sn’t it?News – Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find itdifficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well,I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Exercise 1: 1. b c a 2.

Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in England want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to remember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smiling studentsremembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.The specialist don’t know why facial expressions he lp memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Exercise:1. If one can answer all the four questions, his memory is thought to be good. (I hear it.)2. The smiling student could remember more happy articles than the frowning students. (I hear it.)3. Education specialist from England haven’t found the best way to help people improve reading abilities. (I can not infer it.)4. The specialists are trying to explain the reason why facial expressions can help memory (I can infer it.)5. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person’s memory. (I can infer it.)6. In the second group five students who read the angry letter while smiling remembered less. (I can infer it.)。

Unit 1 Starting outInside viewConversation 1Porter Good afternoon.Janet Good afternoon.Porter New student?Janet Yes.Porter Welcome to Hertford College.Janet Thank you.Porter Can I have your family name, please?Janet Yes, it's Li.Porter Er, L-double E?Janet No, L-I.Porter And what's your first name, Ms Li?Janet Janet.Porter Janet Li... ah yes, there you are. Here are your keys.Janet Where's my room?Porter You're in Staircase 6 Room 5.Janet Who am I sharing with?Porter Nobody. You have your own room. Er...there's a Ms Santos in the room next to you.Janet Oh. My own room? In China we usually have several people in a dormitory.Porter Well, here you don't have to share with anyone.Janet Thank you Sir.Porter No need to call me sir, Ms Li. Everyone calls me Stewart.Janet Please call me Janet!Porter OK, Janet, um, can you just sign for your keys, please?Conversation 2Kate Hi, have you just arrived too?Janet Yes!Kate I guess we're neighbours. My name's Kate Santos.Janet I'm Janet Li. Where are you from?Kate From New York. How about you?Janet I'm from Anshan in China.Kate Is Janet your real name?Janet No, it's my English name. My Chinese name is Li Hui. Is Kate your full name?Kate No, it's short for Catherine.Janet So do I call you Catherine or Kate?Kate Everyone calls me Kate.Janet Nice to meet you.Kate OK, Janet. See you later.Janet Bye!Conversation 3Kate Hey! This is awesome! Look at the size of this dining hall.Janet Is this where we have all our meals?Kate I guess.Mark You just arrived?Girls Yes!Mark Me too. By the way, I'm Mark. Nice to meet you.Kate Hi, I'm Kate.Mark Hi Kate, I guess you're from the States.Kate Right! How can you tell? You're British, huh?Mark Yes, I'm from London. And you are ...?Janet I'm Li Hui. I'm from China. But you can call me Janet.Mark Hi Janet. Welcome to England. What are you reading?Janet English.Mark How about you, Kate?Kate My major is law. And you?Mark I'm studying PPE.Kate That's a special Oxford subject, isn't it?Outside viewJulie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College. Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College.Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions.Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight.Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice.Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations.Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University.Listening inPassage 1Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right? Professor That's right, yes.Interviewer Tell me how many universities are there? How many institutions?Professor In total there are eight institutions: There's Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.Interviewer Ah, OK. And what's the sporting ... I believe there's some link with sports.Professor There certainly is, yes. Originally the Ivy League referred to the sports teams from the universities which competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. Now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. But in the last50 years, Ivy League schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasn't possible to be bothworld-famous for research and also top class in sport.Interviewer And what about their academic importance? I gather they're academically very, very important, they're very well-known.Professor Absolutely at the top. They're near or at the top of the USA colleges and university rankings. And they're almost always in the top one per cent of the world's academic institutions for financial resources. Interviewer And what does it mean socially to go to an Ivy League university?Professor Certainly if you've been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end of the scale. The Ivy League institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white Anglo-Saxon, protestants. Not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.Interviewer And do you know ... why's it called the Ivy League, what's the origin of the name?Professor There are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly it's based on four universities, and IV, the letters IV, that's the Roman numeral for four. Another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. The term was created by a sports journalist, I think in the 1930s. Interviewer Right, OK. And which is the oldest university?Professor The oldest goes back to the 17th century, that's Harvard which was founded in 1636. And the youngest of the institutions is Cornell which was founded in 1865.Interviewer And which has the largest number of undergraduates?Professor Cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. The institution with the smallest number is Dartmouth College with a little over 4,000.Interviewer And what about the acceptance rate? Is it hard to get into?Professor That ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.Interviewer And any famous alumni? Famous old boys?Professor Hundreds! Hundreds of them. But I suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all over the world would certainly be George Bush who went to Yale, and John F Kennedy, President Kennedy, who was at Harvard.Interviewer Thank you.Passage2Andy Did you see the film on television last night?Jane No, I was out. What was it?Andy A Beautiful Mind. It's about John Forbes Nash, the mathematician who won the Nobel Prize.Jane I've heard about that film, yes. He's played by Russell Crowe, isn't he? I like Russell Crowe, he's great. Andy That's the one, yes.Jane What's it about?Andy Well, the story begins in the early years of Nash's life at Princeton University as a graduate student.Jane That's one of the Ivy League schools, isn't it?Andy Yes, it's all set in New England, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. It's lovely to look at.Anyway, Nash meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. Nash admits to Charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing he's looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.Jane So he's not interested in having fun?Andy Well, yes, but he's not very good with people or successful with women, that's all. But, you know, it's one of these bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.Jane No good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?Andy That's about right, yes. So when he finishes his studies at Princeton, he accepts a job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Five years later, he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.Jane Ah! At last, the love interest!Andy Yes, but wait a moment. Nash believes that he's been asked to work by William Parcher for the US Department of Defense on breaking Soviet codes. At one point he's chased by the Russians, and it's after this that he becomes mentally ill.Jane I think I've seen this in the trailer to the film.Andy So when he's put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the Soviets have captured him. He's given this painful treatment which affects his relationship with his wife. And his intellectual skills. So he stops taking the medicine.Jane It sounds quite hard to watch.Andy Well, it is, but it's well acted and directed, and so, you know, there's a-bit of distance between the audience and what's happening on film.Jane So what happens next?Andy Well, then his illness returns, so he and his wife decide to try and live with it. It all gets a bit complicated, because we're no longer sure if Charles, you know, his old friend, or even Parcher were real, or if they were just people that existed only in Nash's mind.Jane That sounds awful. He must have been so ill,Andy Actually, I'm kind of giving away the twist in the story. Anyway, later in his life, while he's using the library at Princeton again, he asks his rival Martin Hansen if he can start teaching again. And so the story ends when he goes on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics.Jane Well, it sounds like a great film.Andy Yes, you should see it sometime.Unit 3 Learning to thinkInside viewConversation 1Mark Hi, what're you doing?Janet Oh, nothing much ... Well, I'm just doing this quiz here in the newspaper.Mark Let's have a look then.Janet Here. It's called, "How much do you know about memory?" I've just done it. Do you want to have a go? Mark OK, might as well. I'm not busy.Janet Right. Look, I'll read the statements. Then you have to answer "true" or "false". Ready?Mark Yea.Janet OK. Physical exercise improves your memory. True or false?Mark True, I suppose. It sounds like the right answer.Janet You're right, exercise does improve your memory. Next statement: 30 per cent of people have a visual memory.Mark That sounds about right. True?Janet No, wrong, I'm afraid. In fact, 60 per cent of people have a visual memory.Mark Really? Actually, I've got a pretty good memory.Janet Have you? OK ... Next one ... When you're tired, it's more difficult to remember things.Mark That's true, obviously. I can't remember a thing when I'm tired.Janet Correct! If you do one activity for a long time, your memory will improve.Mark I'm not sure ... True?Janet Actually, it's false.Mark Oh!Janet Eating fruit and vegetables can improve your memory.Mark I read something in The Times about that. True.Janet True, it says here.Mark Oh, no! I've got a lecture. I'd forgotten. I'd better get going!Janet Oh, Mark! What a good memory you have!Conversation 2Kate You're looking a bit down, Janet. What's up?Janet Well... I'm finding studying at Oxford quite hard.Kate You're telling me! There's so much work!Janet It's not the amount of work - but everything's so different. In China, generally we have large classes, we don't have tutorials. And mostly, our teacher tells us what we should do. So I'm not used to asking questions or discussing things. I find it difficult.Kate You have to memorize a lot, don't you?Janet Yes, but I'm good at that.Kate You're lucky. There's so much to remember studying law! I have difficulty sometimes, I really do.Janet Yes, well, we've been trained to do that. But we don't have so much training in critical thinking.Kate What do you mean by critical thinking?Janet Let me think ... I think it's giving your opinion and then justifying it.Kate Yes, I suppose that's what our teachers have always encouraged us to do.Janet I am getting better at it, I suppose.Kate Hey! How about this? Let's pretend I'm your tutor. I'll make a statement. Your task is to examine it and then ask questions.Janet OK.Kate Everyone is capable of learning a second language. Go on, ask a question!Janet Why do you say that?Kate That's what the research tells us. Now ask another one.Janet Can you give an example of some research?Kate Um ... No! Look, I'm starving and I can't think at all when I'm hungry.Outside viewPart 1Teacher Good morning, class.Students Good morning.Teacher What we're going to do today is start off looking at mind maps or mind mapping. Now have any of you heard about mind maps before?Students Yes ... No ...Teacher Yes. Some of you have, some of you haven't. OK. Have any of you actually used mind maps in the past? Students No ...Teacher No? OK. Who can tell me what a mind map is?Student 1 It's a way of thinking.Teacher It is a way of thinking. Mind maps are diagrams which help us to generate ideas, and also to organize or structure our ideas related to a topic. What I'd like to do next is look at some of the uses or the reasons for using mind maps. What are some of the reasons for using mind maps?Student 2 To make a list?Teacher To make a list? Yes. We could say to brainstorm ideas. Everyone contributes then-ideas as many ideas as quickly as possible, from everyone in a shorter time, er, as, as we can manage. OK, brainstorming is one of the most important um, um, uses of mind maps. What might be another use or another reason for using mind maps?Student 3 It can help me take notes in the class.Teacher OK, for the note-taking, a very good reason. Mind maps help us to get an overview or a, a quick understanding about a subject. By using mind maps to collect the main ideas from what the teacher says, you can keep a, a very general understanding of a topic and understand connections quite easily and um, quickly.What are some other uses of mind maps?Student 4 Preparing for exams?Teacher OK. Preparing for exams. That's a, a very good reason. We might call this, er, revision. Before an exam,after having studied for many, many days or even weeks, you might want to capture the, the, the very general understanding about the subject. Are there any other uses that you can think of for mind mapping?Student 5 We can also use it for finding answers.Teacher For finding answers. That's, that's a very good, good answer. We could call this problem-solving. We can use mind maps to, to see other possible alternatives, or options to, to, to solve a problem. OK. Next, I'd like us to talk about some of the advantages or the benefits of using mind maps instead of just writing everything on a piece of paper. One of the most obvious advantages, as you can see, is that mind maps are very visual. They give us um, almost a picture, a, a different perspective in terms of a picture, or a diagram of understanding information or understanding connected ideas, which is very helpful for people who like to learn from a different way. Are there any other advantages that you can think of for mind mapping?Student 4 It lists the main points.Teacher They do. They do list the main points. We could call this um, a quick summary. As you can see, we have main ideas throughout our mind map, not long texts. And in this way, it helps us to grasp the, the key ideas and the key connections for mind maps or for our given subject. Are there any other advantages you can think of? Student 1 To think creatively.Teacher To think creatively. That's, that's a very good point. We could call this creative thinking. And what we mean here is basically thinking outside of the box or thinking laterally. Mind maps are illogical and by being illogical they encourage us to think creatively, you might say.Part2Teacher Next, I'd like us to think about aspects of design or constructing mind maps. So far we have completed three quarters of our mind map about mind maps. And then I'd just like you to have a look at this mind map and tell me what some of the most noticeable or striking features are that we can talk about.Student 2 There is a centre.Teacher There is a centre. There is what we call a central word, a central word or a phrase. It might also be a sentence or a question. You might have that in the centre of the board and your related thoughts spiraling or radiating out. What else do you notice about the design of this mind map?Student 1 There are only words, not sentences.Teacher Exactly. There are many what we call key words as they capture the main thought of, of an issue rather than a long sentence or, or a passage. This helps us to concentrate on the main issues and find connections between these issues as well. What other aspects of design do you notice here?Student 5 It looks like a tree.Teacher It does look like a tree because it has branches. By having branches, it shows how, um, thinking is radiating out or spiraling out from key ideas or central ideas to key words to sub-words and, and so forth. Are there any other aspects of design which you notice in this particular map?Student 2 You used a lot of colours.Teacher I did. I perhaps use too many colours. I have used different colour to show the different key words or different aspects of mind mapping. You might like to use different colours to highlight different sections of a mind map or key information. Or you may, you may choose to have it all in one colour. It's very much a personal choice, depending on how you like to, to think and, and plan your thinking. You might also like to use images or pictures related to some of the key words. Or you might even use symbols. We'll put a question mark because this again is a personal choice and how you like to design your mind maps. For example, I might choose to use a thought bubble as a symbol, highlighting or identifying my central phrase, mind maps. This could be a, a feature of my own mind maps. Whenever I design a mind map, I highlight my central thought using a speech bubble symbol.Listening inPassage 1Interviewer With us today is Martin Downes, a carpenter, who's 51. A year ago, Martin had a stroke. But he's been lucky enough to make a full recovery from it. Can you tell us how it all began, Martin?Martin I'm very happy to - not that I remember much at all. I was at a customer's house, building a cupboard, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital with people in white coats bending over me.Interviewer It must have been very frightening.Martin It was. But what was really frightening was that I couldn't speak. I couldn't say a word. And I couldn't understand much that people said to me.Interviewer How awful!Martin Yeah! I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't had my family. But they were there for me, they really were. I had something called aphasia, where the part of your brain gets damaged that affects your speech and language. But they started treatment for the condition almost immediately. This speech and language therapist came to see me every day for 12 weeks. They made me do all these exercises.Interviewer What kind of exercises?Martin I had to match words and pictures and say their names. You see, I'd also forgotten the names of a lot of things. She had this thing called a word board and I could point to words and phrases on it that I wanted to say.I had to repeat words up to 20 times - boy, it was hard, so hard.Interviewer Could you say anything to begin with?Martin I could say three words. "Hi", "Yes" and "No". That was all. And there were a lot of words I couldn't understand -1 had to learn their meanings all over again.Interviewer It must have been very frustrating.Martin It was, but I was determined to get better. I was in hospital for three and a half months. When I got home I got a special computer programme that I worked with every day. And slowly my language came back to me. It was a struggle, a big struggle. I had to learn to read and write again too.Interviewer Why do you think that you were able to recover completely? It's not that common, is it?Martin I was lucky. I was given the right drug at the right time. And I had 12 weeks of therapy, five days a week.That's very important, apparently.Interviewer And now that you're better how do you feel about your life?Martin What can I say? I'm just grateful to have my life back.Passage 2Interviewer In 1907 an Italian educator called Maria Montessori opened a school in Rome that taught young children using methods that were very different from traditional teaching. Today, the Montessori method, as it's known, is used in nursery schools in countries such as America, Canada, Britain and Germany. Recent research shows that children educated at a Montessori nursery do better later on at school than other children in all subjects. We asked two Montessori teachers, Claudia Rosella and Sarah Harrington, to explain what makes their nursery school different. Sarah...Sarah I think the first thing to say is that a Montessori classroom is very quiet, very clean. Everything stays in the same place. So the children are calm and quiet as a result.Interviewer So they're not encouraged to be noisy.Sarah No, definitely not...Interviewer Claudia?Claudia Yes, the classroom's very important. Another important principle is that children direct their own learning.They choose what they want to do.Interviewer So the teacher doesn't tell the child what to do?Sarah Not at all. While a child is doing an activity we observe them. Then we work with the child for a short time and then leave them to work on their own.Interviewer That sounds excellent. And what about your equipment? It's often made of wood, isn't it?Sarah Yes, and a piece of equipment is often designed for one activity only.Claudia Right. It's so that the child can see if they're getting something right or wrong.Interviewer So they don't need the teacher so much"?Sarah That's right. Another Montessori principle is the importance of physical activity. Children learn by doing, so when they're learning to read, for example, the letters are made of sandpaper so that children can feel the shape of the letter.Interviewer Do you think there are disadvantages with Montessori methods?Claudia Yes, there are. Maria Montessori didn't understand how important it is for children to use their imagination. If she was alive today, she would recognize that. But still, the fact is, her methods are very successful.Unit 4 Person to personInside viewConversation 1Kate Oh, I must make a quick call.Jacky Hello, Jacky Gordon speaking.Kate Hello, can I speak to Abbie, please?Jacky I'll see if she's in, can you hold on?Kate Sure.Jacky Hello?

She reads English, doesn't she?Kate Yes, how do you know her?Janet She has a tutorial just after me so we chat a bit. We get on really well.Kate Yes, everyone likes Abbie.

I've never heard of it.Kate Look, I've got a leaflet about it.Janet So...Kate It's a university helpline for students who are having problems.

I'm sorry not to have called you back. I've got a lot on at the moment. How's things?Kate Fine. I just wanted to let you know I won't be able to come to the next training session.Abbie Um ... It's quite an important session. Oh, can you hold on a moment. There's someone at the door.…Abbie Hi, I'm sorry, look, can I call you back later?Kate Sure. What time?Abbie Is three o'clock OK?Kate Three's fine.Abbie OK, I'll call you then. Speak soon.Kate Bye.Abbie Bye.…Kate Abbie's my Nightline trainer.Janet You're saying she's your Nightline trainer! But she's still a student.Kate Well, experienced students train new students, that's the way it works.Janet Oh, I see.Kate It's great! At the moment, she's training us in listening skills.Janet Listening skills? What do you mean, listening skills?Kate Um ... The ability to really listen to someone and make them feel you're listening. It's very important.Janet I've never thought about that before.Kate Yes, for example, one thing you can do is listen carefully and then repeat what someone says but maybe a little differently.Janet So what you're saying is, repeat what someone says but maybe not the exact same words?Kate Yes. You see, when you do that, you check you've understood and you show them you're really listening.Janet So they know you've really heard them.Kate Very good, Janet. I can see you've got it already! Hi,... how's it going?Outside viewVoice-over It's the most popular means of communication in the 21st century. Nobody writes letters any more, especially young people. They all use text messaging instead. Officially called SMS - short message service - text messaging is slow to enter, and you can only key in 160 characters. So why is it such a success? The first text message was sent in 1992, but texting only became commercially available in 1995. It has grown incredibly quickly since then. Just look at the graph. In 1999, the number of texts sent reached one billion.Over the next three years, it grew to 20 billion! So people have now sent billions of texts, and the number continues to rise. It isn't difficult to see why it quickly became part of youth culture.Emily I use it every day. I don't call a lot of people on it. I just use it for text messages because it's easy and quick to send things and arrange things by text.Heidi Mainly to friends. Sometimes it's useful to get information for work as well. You know, if people want to give you contact numbers or things like that, it's easier than phoning.Andy I've had my mobile phone for about three years. I mostly use it for just texting my mates and arranging sort of social meetings with them.Alice I like texting. I don't really talk much on it except just to make arrangements but texting's the biggest thing I do.Male I probably text message about ten, 15 times a day.Alice Usually, I don't know, about ten. Ten to 15. Fifteen maybe to 20.Voice-over It isn't just young people who use texting. Companies use it too - for advertising and promotion. For example, the Orange telephone network has run a text message promotional campaign since April 2004. People text a special number on a Wednesday and receive a discount voucher by text. They show this message to any one of 450 cinemas in Britain and get two tickets for the price of one. Why Wednesday? Wednesday has always been the worst day of the week for cinemas. Since the campaign started, cinema attendance has risen on Wednesdays by nearly ten per cent. And, of course, TV uses text message voting to decide lots of things. Texting has been one of the most successful inventions for years.Listening inPassage 1John Are you packed?Mike Yup. Everything's there.John Sure you've packed your mobile?。

I’m a freshman at Peking University a nd I’m majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I li ke listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several ye ars ago and I’m getting better at it. My fa vorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big pro blem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never see m to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcom e my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National U niversity of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the of ficial languages and you have to be fluent to English to get a good job.I’ve been studying English since high school. I’m good at reading because I li ke learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and art icles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it rally difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library wh ere I can read all kinds of new books.Part CExercise:How to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea,not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen againcarefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main ideaand the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ACommunicative Function1.closing2.opening3.closing4.opening5.opening6.openingListening Strategy1. a2. b3. b4. a5. b6. a7. b8. a9. b 10. bPart BTextExercise 1:1. 1) b 2) c 3) a2. dExercise 2:1. a. age b. money c. people's appearance2. a. ...say that again? I did not catch it./ b. ...speak more slowly, please?3. a....I really need to be going./ ...nice talking to you.How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness t o make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have cou rage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But o thers, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are so me good ways to open a conversation.Weather –I t sure is cold today, isn’t it?News –Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, th ough. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I did n’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite w ay. “Well, I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are freq uently used by people to end a conversation.Part CSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in Engla nd want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to r emember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five o f the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happ y article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smil ing students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while s miling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’r e right. The frowning students.The specialist don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are conti nuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Unit 3Part ACommunicative FunctionMaggie likes swimming but she does not care for skiing. She loves flying o n planes and traveling by train but she hates getting on buses because they are too crowded and dirty. she is not interested in playing the piano and she pr efers reading to playing computer games. She loves going to Chinese restaurant s and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes feel relaxed. She enjoys watching TV in the evening. She thinks a lot of ne ws programs but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.

A busy life2.Between 6 and 15 hours3.Reading. remain current4.revise and updateWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much mor e than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty t o eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which the y revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare not es than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experi ments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behin d closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow’s classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must fe el strongly about the importance of the college experience.Unit 4Part ACommunicative Function1.Yeah/ By the way/ Who?/ Don't you think so?/ Yes./ Quite well.2.Like what?/ Yeah/ Hmmm, let me think./ Well./ Come to think of it.

For example, you can talk about th e weather.A: You can’t be serious. The weather’s boring.B: It’s a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you s ay, “What do you do in such terrible weather?”A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good.

Have a good time a t the party.Note:Small talk means light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing.

The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped ther e before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was s hocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly sta ined. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediat ely to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and the two other an gry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bo ught some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very w orried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a second hand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hot el. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selli ng the defective goods right away.The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladie s’ purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.Unit 7Part ACommunicative Function1.O,2.O3.F4.F5.O6.F7.O8.O9.F 10.O 11.O 12.FListening Strategy(omitted)Part BTextExercise 1: 1.a 2.dExercise 2:Steve Wellsa university juniorB averagea lifeguard for two summersin an apartmenthard working and reliableseldom absent from work and always on timepay the rent of the apartmenta clerk in the mailroom2 to 6 am Monday through FridayMinimumWe Have an Opening NowMs. Campbell: Have a seat, Mr. Wells.

The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehou se where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands a nd shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he woul d be fired. The you ng man’s spirits began to drop.“I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for,” the m anager said sternly.“How much is the vase worth?” Fred asked.“$350”A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. “That’s wonderful!” he sho uted happily. “At last I have a steady job!”Part CExercise: 1.d 2.c 3.d 4.b 5.bMark HillMark Hill is a traffic police officer in Watford, near London. He works on so me of the busiest Motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to fou r accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:“We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. That’s the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.”“Most accidents happen because people drive too fast—especially when the ro ads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don’t follo w the rules. For example, I’ve seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking o n the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go i nto the fast lane on the right.”“Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.“I like my job. I have a varied working day—I never know what I’m going to do from one day to the next. And I meet all kinds of people.

I’m a freshman at Peking University a nd I’m majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I li ke listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several ye ars ago and I’m getting better at it. My fa vorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big pro blem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never see m to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcom e my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National U niversity of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the of ficial languages and you have to be fluent to English to get a good job.I’ve been studying English since high school. I’m good at reading because I li ke learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and art icles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it rally difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library wh ere I can read all kinds of new books.Part CExercise:How to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea,not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen againcarefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main ideaand the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ACommunicative Function1.closing2.opening3.closing4.opening5.opening6.openingListening Strategy1. a2. b3. b4. a5. b6. a7. b8. a9. b 10. bPart BTextExercise 1:1. 1) b 2) c 3) a2. dExercise 2:1. a. age b. money c. people's appearance2. a. ...say that again? I did not catch it./ b. ...speak more slowly, please?3. a....I really need to be going./ ...nice talking to you.How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness t o make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have cou rage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But o thers, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are so me good ways to open a conversation.Weather –I t sure is cold today, isn’t it?News –Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, th ough. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I did n’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite w ay. “Well, I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are freq uently used by people to end a conversation.Part CSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in Engla nd want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to r emember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five o f the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happ y article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smil ing students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while s miling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’r e right. The frowning students.The specialist don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are conti nuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Unit 3Part ACommunicative FunctionMaggie likes swimming but she does not care for skiing. She loves flying o n planes and traveling by train but she hates getting on buses because they are too crowded and dirty. she is not interested in playing the piano and she pr efers reading to playing computer games. She loves going to Chinese restaurant s and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes feel relaxed. She enjoys watching TV in the evening. She thinks a lot of ne ws programs but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.

A busy life2.Between 6 and 15 hours3.Reading. remain current4.revise and updateWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much mor e than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty t o eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which the y revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare not es than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experi ments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behin d closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow’s classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must fe el strongly about the importance of the college experience.Unit 4Part ACommunicative Function1.Yeah/ By the way/ Who?/ Don't you think so?/ Yes./ Quite well.2.Like what?/ Yeah/ Hmmm, let me think./ Well./ Come to think of it.

On a rainy day, you s ay, “What do you do in such terrible weather?”A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they li ked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that’s what small talk is about, is it? Well, I’ll give it a try. Thanks fo r the tips, Mike.B: You’re welcome. Have a good time a t the party.Note:Small talk means light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at eas e.Part CExercise: 1. F 2.T 3.

The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehou se where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands a nd shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he woul d be fired. The you ng man’s spirits began to drop.“I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for,” the m anager said sternly.“How much is the vase worth?” Fred asked.“$350”A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. “That’s wonderful!” he sho uted happily. “At last I have a steady job!”Part CExercise: 1.d 2.c 3.d 4.b 5.bMark HillMark Hill is a traffic police officer in Watford, near London. He works on so me of the busiest Motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts, and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to fou r accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:“We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. That’s the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.”“Most accidents happen because people drive too fast—especially when the ro ads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don’t follo w the rules. For example, I’ve seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking o n the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go i nto the fast lane on the right.”“Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.“I like my job. I have a varied working day—I never know what I’m going to do from one day to the next. And I meet all kinds of people. I don’t thin k there ‘s any other job that can give you that experience.”Unit 9Part ACommunicative Function1.Mrs. FaberOct. 20thThree nightsone double room130 dollars including breakfast2.Mr.Green8:00 tomorrow morningPudong AirportRoom 804, Park HotelListening Strategy1.March 122.May 23.25 days4.June 91.
