But I remember correct, U-turn is not allowed at the place.B: Well, I didn‟t know this until the policeman told me.A: What? Don‟t you look at the road sign when you are driving?V Let’s TalkSpeeding Ticket，A policeman stops a driver and says to the driver,“Sir，you were speeding．Can I see your license，please?”The driver replies．“I don’t have one．”“You don‟t have one?”The driver answers．“I lost it for drunk driving．”The policeman is surprised．“I see．Will you show me your vehicle registration papers．please?”“I m sorry．I can‟t do that．”The policeman asks．“Why not?”“I stole this car．”The Officer says，“Stole it?”The driver answers，“Yes，and I killed the owner．”The 0fficer is shocked．“You did what?”“She‟s in the trunk if you want to see．”The officer is horrified and calls for backup．Within minutes，five police cars show up，surrounding the car．A police chief cautiously approaches the car，asking，“Sir，could you open the trunk of your car，please?”The driver opens the trunk，revealing nothing but all empty trunk．The chief says，“Is this your car，sir?”The driver says“Yes．”and hands over the registration papers．The 0fficer iS quite surprised．“0ne of my 0fficers says you don’t have a driving license．”The driver quickly produces his license．The chief examines it and finds nothing wrong．He looks puzzled．“Thank you，sir．One of my Officers told me you didn‟t have a 1icense，stole this car，and murdered the owner．”Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceA police 0fficer pulls over a driver and orders him to produce his driver‟s license because he was speeding．The driver claims that he has lost his license for drunk driving．The officer is surprised and asks him to show his vehicle registration papers．The driver then answers that he does not have those papers，for he stole the car and killed the owner, though nobody knows why he says so．The officer is so shocked that he cannot believe his ears，so he asks the driver to say it again．To confirm what he has said，the driver says the lady‟s body is in the trunk．By now the officeris horrified．so he calls the police station for support．When the police chief arrives，he orders the driver to open the trunk to find evidence of the crime．The driver opens it，but it is empty；and this shows that he is innocent．Unconvinced，the chief asks for his vehicle registration papers and license to see whether he is guilty~，,,The driver quickly hands over both to show that he is really innocent．The chief is now puzzled，saying that an 9mcer did report to him that the driver did not have a license，stole the car, and killed the owner．To this，the driver answers that he bets the officer must have said he was speeding as well．By saying so，the driver suggests that the officer，S accusation of his speeding must be false tooDiscussionPossible Answer for the Teacher‟s ReferenceEven if the driver cleverly shows that he is not guilty of stealing the car and killing the owner, this does not necessarily mean he did not speed．We must take all possibilities into consideration．To begin with，we should try to find out whether there is any evidence to show the driver was speeding．For example，we can check the records of the radar device or police video，or find human witnesses．Failing this，we may check whether the driver had any record of lying or cheating，or whether he had many previous traffic violations 0r a criminal record．If so，we can hardly trust his words．But this cannot yet provide conclusive evidence of his speeding．We might like to investigate whether the police officer has a record of lying or cheating since his statement contradicts the driver‟s．This is normally impossible，for a habitual liar would have been dismissed from the police force．In fact，a policeman is usually assumed to be honest unless proved otherwise in a court of law．If the driver is found guilty of speeding，he should be punished for that as well as for the lies he told about the theft and murderVI Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1:Emergency CallOperator: Hello. This is the emergency 911 operator.Taxi Driver: Help! Help! Please help me!Operator: Yes sir. Please calm down and explain exactly what is happening.Taxi Driver: Calm down! My car has broken down on the highway; I have a lady passenger, and she's going into labor.Operator: Now relax, sir.

What's your name, sir, and your passenger's?Taxi Driver: It's... it's Mike, and I have no idea about the woman. She's in no condition to tell me. How soon can someone get here?Operator: I've just sent an ambulance to your location. They should be there any second.Taxi Driver: Hey, is there anything I can do while we wait for the ambulance? Operator: Yes, uh, keep her calm and warm.Taxi Driver: Okay. Please hurry... Oh, they're too late. It's a boy!A taxi driver called the emergency 911operator, reporting that his car had broken down on the road, and a woman passenger was going into labo r. He further explained that he was in the southbound lane of No. 15 Expressway, about 15 miles from the tunnel, and his name was Mike. The operator said an ambulance had been sent and would arrive at any moment. While the operator asked the driver to keep the lady calm and warm, she gave birth to a boy before the ambulance arrived.Task 2:Have a drink!In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, a woman and a man are involved in a car accident. Both of their cars are damaged, but surprisingly neither of them is hurt.After they climb out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left. But fortunately we're not injured. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."The man replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely destroyed, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good luck."Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, takes a few large drinks, and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cork back in the bottle, and puts it away. The man asks, Aren‟t you having any?” The woman replies, ' Yes, but not until the police get here."1. Which of the following is true of the accident?A) Both cars are damaged, but neither of the drivers is hurt.2. Which of the following is true of what the woman says?C) God has arranged for the man and woman to become friends.3. What does the woman say about the bottle of wine?C) God wants the man and woman to drink it to celebrate.4. Why does the man drink the wine?B) He believes he's following God's will.5. What can we infer from the passage?D) The woman makes the man appear to have been driving while drunk.Task 3:Pa won’t like it.Max, a farm boy, accidentally overturned his wagon loaded with corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise."Hey, Max!" the farmer shouted. "Forget your troubles. Come in with us, then I'll help you get the wagon up.""That's mighty nice of you," Max answered, "but I don't think pa would like me to." "Come on," the farmer insisted."Well, okay," the boy finally agreed, and added, "but pa won't like it."After a hearty dinner, Max thanked his host. "I feel a lot better now, but I know pa is going to be really upset.""Don't be silly!" the neighbor said with a smile. "By the way, where is your pa?" "Under the wagon."1. T2. F3. F4. T5.

Unit 9Part OneAlice: Listen! The sound of that music! It...it's fascinating! Where...where is it from?Xiao Hong: Oh, I...I don't know actually.Henry: Over there! Shall we go take a closer look?Alice & Xiao Hong: OK.Xiao Hong: Oh, it's a kind of Chinese folk instrument called pipa.Alice: Wow, what a beautiful musical instrument!Xiao Hong: Sure.Henry: What's more, it makes such a marvelous sound!Xiao Hong: Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that. Actually, our folk instruments are quite unique. You know, the sound is beautiful and, as you see, it looks good. But, still, unfortunately, they are getting less popular these days.Alice: Really? That's incredible. You know, our Scottish bagpipes, which are some of the oldest instruments in the world, are still quite popular.Xiao Hong: Well, I'm afraid it's not the case in our country. Y ou know, I'm not exaggerating. Nowadays the vast majority of young people prefer western music to Chinese folk music, and they think Chinese folk music and classical instruments are old-fashioned.Henry: What a pity! Many people listen to bagpipes and they are heard on all kinds of different occasions. I wonder why Chinese folk instruments, as old as those bagpipes, are so little appreciated today.Xiao Hong: Well, I think historic reasons may partly account for it. You know, in ancient times, most of the Chinese folk instruments were used to please and entertain the nobles. You know, they were too expensive for ordinary people to own and play unless the poor played them in the street to earn a living.Alice: I know that some Chinese emperors loved music and had a good taste in it.Xiao Hong: Oh, yes, like Tang Xuanzong, but his ministers were firmly opposed to it. They believed that the emperor's attention might be distracted from ruling the country if he spent too much time on music. And they seemed to think of music as something trifling and unimportant. Henry: But things are quite different in our country. Our people are extremely interested in music, and are very proud of our traditions. We view music as part of our lives.Alice: Y eah, and our government spends a lot of money on music education. In the year 1999——2000 for example, the Department of Education spent 1.5 billion dollars on teaching music 1999so that lots of children had the chance to learn to play musical instruments.Xiao Hong: I do wish that more people would appreciate the exquisite melody of our folk instruments and be proud of our traditions.Henry: What's the difference between western music and Chinese music?Xiao Hong: Well, young people think that western music is more exciting and passionate. The rhythm is stronger, which makes them feel more excited. Well, on the other hand, the Chinese music is harmonious, soft, gentle, mild and calm. It helps make people feel peaceful, comfortable and relaxed.Alice: Y es, there are differences between Chinese music and...and western music, but one isn't really better than the other.Xiao Hong: No, no, no. Absolutely not. When I listen to Chinese music, the beautiful melodyalways reminds me of the beauty of nature, hills, streams, small bridges and the singing of birds. You know, the melody is like the music of the nightingale, the music of running water and etc. But western music is more upbeat and exciting. I get full of energy and I want to dance and sing with it. I like rock music better than folk music actually.Henry: Rock and roll has a long history in western countries. There are plenty of bands playing different kinds of rock and roll music, like heavy metal and punk.Xiao Hong: And most of our Chinese musical instruments are made of wood, bamboo or something like that, so the music sounds natural while yours nowadays are mostly made of metal and they seem to be much more complex.Alice: Right. Take our flutes for example. They have more holes and buttons, so they rely on very precise notes to produce music.Xiao Hong: What's more, western singers are usually good at dancing while they sing, but our singers are usually only good at singing.Henry: I suppose because of cultural differences, Chinese, like their music, are usually more reserved.Xiao Hong: There are still some people who prefer Chinese folk music. The pop music nowadaysis increasingly dominated by western music.Alice: I guess people are immediately attracted to western music, but Chinese music has the mysterious power to attract you without you realizing it.Xiao Hong: Y eah, Chinese traditional culture has made a deep impact on Chinese music. Y ou know, the music emphasizes people's feelings and is very emotional.Alice: I've heard that the structure of western music is more logical than that of Chinese music.Xiao Hong: I find that the lyrics are different too. Chinese people tend to express their emotions indirectly while western people are more direct and individualistic. They make full use of music and instruments to express their personal feelings, such as excitement, disappointment, love, sorrow and etc.Henry: Western music has absorbed many musical elements from African music. It places great importance on rhythm, such as heavy metal music, rock music, hip hop and so on.Alice: Yes, and, of course, we have a number of well-known composers these days.Henry: Mm, nowadays it seems that rock and pop music dominate the musical world. In many pieces of music, one instrument can be used in order to produce a distinct sense of perception.Xiao Hong: I guess, eventually, because of globalization, the differences between western music and Chinese music may become less noticeable. You know, in the future, the music may have a lot more in common than we have realized now.Alice: Oh, as far as pop music is concerned, what you say is probably true, but even though musicis a universal language, folk music shouldn't be changed.Xiao Hong: That's right. Don't you think it would be a good idea to buy some Chinese folk music CDs to take home with you?Alice & Henry: That's a good idea! Let's go to the CD shop.Exercise 21.C2.C3.C 4,W 5,W 6.C 7.C 8.C 9.C 10,W 11.W 12.W 13.C 14.W 15.W 16.C 17.W 18.WExercise 31.perfer old-fashioned2.as old as3.account for4.own play earn to living5.very proud of6.1.5 billion had the chance7.hillls small bridges singing of birds8.full of energy9.holes buttons precise notes 10.indirectly individualistic 11.places great importance12.a universal languagePartTwo Listening I(Bill, Howard, and Lisa are talking about background music.)Part IBill: What are you working on now?Howard: I've just finished a piece of background music.Lisa: Background music? Oh, like the music they're playing here now. Howard: Yes. You hear it everywhere, in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores... Bill: In banks, too. I noticed it while we were at the bank today.Lisa: Did you? I didn't.Howard: Y ou are not supposed to notice it. It's just there, in the background. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, and put you in the right mood.Lisa: I'm not sure I like that idea.Howard: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production by 4.5 percent.Bill: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.Howard: They don't though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."Lisa: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.Howard: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now, of course, the music is piped in by a machine, and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at 10 in the morning than at 8, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.Part IIBill: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?Howard: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was 22 minutes before that.Lisa: So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.Howard: Exactly. And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services. Lisa: I still think there's something about it that I don't quite like.Howard: I know what you mean, but lots of people wouldn't agree with you. The Xerox Corporation in Rochester, N. Y Corporation in Rochester, N. Y., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons ., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm.

They say it eases their minds.One doctor in Chicago says classical music is the only kind that does not interfere while he is operating. But in another Chicago operating room, the British rock group Pink Floyd can be heard. And in Washington, at least one doctor operates to the sound of the Beatles.Researchers from the State University of New Y ork at Buffalo did a study that seems to confirm that music helps reduce tension in doctors. They gave fifty male doctors difficult mathematical kinds of tests.The doctors did the test while listening to music they themselves had chosen. They did a similar test while listening to music that was chosen for them. They were tested a third time with no music at all. Each time, a machine measured their heart rate and blood pressure.The doctors worked most quickly and calmly when listening to the music they themselves had chosen. They did the worst with no music at all.What kinds of music did the doctors choose? Mostly classical. But some chose instrumental jazz pieces or Irish folk music.There probably is one piece of music that should never be played during an operation: Brahms' "Lullaby". You do not want your doctor to go to sleep while operating, do you? Exercise 11.eases their minds operations2.classical instrumental jazz folk music3.A reduce tension B. 50/fifty male doctors C. Mathematics D.1)quickly 2)calmly 3)chosen for them 4)No music 5)the worst E. sleepyExercise 21.T2.F3.T4.F5.FPart ThreePractice OneThe Beatles were probably the most important pop and rock group of all time. They were together for only eight years, but their influence has lasted much longer.The Beatles came from Liverpool, England. They started playing together in 1962, although Paul McCartney and John Lennon played together in another group. They started by playing rock'n' roll songs, but they quickly developed their own style. By 1963, they had become Britain's top rock group. A year later they toured the United States, where they attracted millions of fans.By the time the Beatles broke up in 1970, they had changed the nature of rock and pop music. They introduced new sounds and rhythms, and they experimented with different types of musical instruments. They recorded hundreds of songs and they sold millions and millions of records. They made many films and won many awards for their music.Today, the Beatles' songs are still very famous all over the world.Exercise 1B D A CExercise 21.their own style2.the nature3.sounds experimented4.songs records5.films awardsPractice Two(Dennis is interviewing Stephanie, a music teacher.)Dennis: Which do you think is the easiest instrument for people to learn to play?Stephanie: It's difficult to answer that question because learning to play an instrument is one thing, and learning to play it well is another. But I think the guitar is the easiest to learn. It's one of the easiest to carry, and that's important for a musician.Dennis: And the second?Stephanie: My second choice is probably the most popular instrument, and I think it's the most satisfying, too, because you can make more progress at the beginning. That's the piano.Dennis: So you think playing the piano's more difficult than playing the guitar.Stephanie: Yes, because, well, your left hand has to work as hard as your right and both hands have to make notes. With the guitar, you make the notes with the left hand, and the right just picksthe strings.Dennis: Is playing a woodwind or brass instrument very difficult? It looks quite easy.Stephanie: I think the clarinet and the trumpet are the easiest to learn. Finding the notes is quite easy and breathing isn't a serious problem. But I find all the wind instruments less satisfying for people to play, because you can't do much alone. You have to play with others.Dennis: And which do you think is the most difficult instrument to play?Stephanie: No doubt at all, the violin. And I think it's the most difficult because both hands have to work, but they have to do different jobs. I mean, the left hand makes the notes on the strings, andit's harder to find the notes than on the guitar because the strings are shorter. The right hand has to manage the bow, and bowing well is an art. Finally, the most difficult thing about it, I find, is holding the instrument under your chin. It's not a natural position to adopt.Exercise 11.(1)trumpet (2)piano (3)violin 2(2)piano (1)clarinetExercise 21.picks the strings2.as hard as3.makes the notes4.on the strings5.manages the bowExercise 31.learn2.carry3.popular4.satisfying5.progress6.easiest7.less satisfying8.most difficultPractice Three(Four people, Steve, Connie, Diane, and Martin, are giving their opinions about their favorite musicians before attending an international concert.)Steve: Oh, no doubt about it. My favorite's Bruce Springsteen. He's the best there is. I think he's more direct, he communicates better than the others. It's not that the others are bad, but he's better.In a way his kind of rock music's more old-fashioned than, er, Sting's, say, but for me it's moreexciting. And the messages in his songs are simpler. They're easier to understand than Sting's or Peter Gabriel's, so I can relate to them better.Connie: The singer I want to hear most is Peter Gabriel. He's not really one of my favorite singerssingers——I mean I don't think he's as exciting as Bruce Springsteen, for instance—but his latest songs, these African songs with African rhythms, well, they're more musical than pop songs usually are. And I think all the singers are sincere about the human rights movement, but he feels more deeply about it than the others.Diane: Oh, I think Sting and his band are the best. Sting's better now with his new band than during his time with the Police. He seems more natural and I think he enjoys playing more. And he's a much better songwriter now. The one I like most in the band is the sax-player, Branford Marsalis. He plays brilliantly, but the best thing about him is his sense of humor. He really makes me laugh!Martin: To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward most to hearing Youssou N'Dour. I like Peter Gabriel's African songs, but he's an Englishman, not an African, so it's not the same as the real thing. I mean, real African music is different from reggae and rock, because it's more rhythmic than reggae, but not as heavy as rock. The rhythms are very unusual, too, and more sophisticated than people think.Exercise 11.T 2,T 3,T 4.F 5.F 6.F 7.F 8.TExercise 2Musicians BruceSpringsteen Sting PeterGabrielBranfordMarsalisYoussouN’Dourbrilliant √ communicative √direct √exciting √musical √natural √Not so heavy √ humorous √rhythmic √ simpler √ sophisticated √ unusual √Practice FourIt has long been known that Cellist Yo-Yo Ma possesses astonishing musical talent. By age seven he had already played for Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals. Later he went to Juilliard and on to Harvard, where he studied international cultures. Soon he tasted stardom, giving concerts around the world.But he tells of a humbling experience while in Namibia, where he went to observe trance dances and musical rituals of the people. At the end of his stay he produced a cello and offered them a performance of his own. "They said, 'Stop. Don't play. We want to play for you, '" Ma remembers with a laugh. "I think I was too self-important to bring my cello. They didn't give adamn."His story is one of a star realizing that not everyone knows or cares who he is. "To be a good performer, you have to have a very strong ego," he says. "But to be a really good performer, you have to make sure that your ego is not the center. To play Beethoven, you have to figure out who he was, and how that's encoded in the music. And then you have to realize you are not Beethoven."Exercise 11.A2.B3.A4.C5.AExercise 21.T2.N3.T4.F5.TPart FourSection 1Some people called John Lennon the "thinking man's Beatle". He was serious and creative, and many young people of the 1960s and 1970s thought he spoke for them.Lennon was born on October 9,1940, in Liverpool, England. During his childhood he listened to the music of rock 'n' roll singers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. At 15, when he was in an art school, Lennon started his first band, the Quarrymen. The band included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best, a drummer.The Quarrymen later changed their name to the Silver Beatles and then the Beatles. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as drummer. Between 1958 and 1962 the group played in nightclubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, West Germany. Then the Beatles made a record called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and changed the history of rock 'n' roll.Many people think that Lennon was the most important singer and songwriter of the Beatles. In general, his songs are sensitive and intelligent, and they still influence today's popular musicians.On December 8, 1980, a confused young man shot John Lennon outside his apartment building in New York City. A few days later, thousands of people gathered in New York's Central Park to remember him. For them, and for many other people in the world, he was someone very special.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.F6.T7.T8.TSection IIRock began in the U.S.A. in the early 1950s. At that time, "rhythm and blues" music was very popular with black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast lyrics.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this new white R&B music, called "rock 'n' roll", had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock 'n' roll was very dangerous.Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. There are "heavy metal" which is extremely loud with hard rhythms, "reggae" from Jamaica that combines rock with jazz and Latin rhythms, "rap" that hasdeveloped on the streets of New York, "disco", a type of soft rock music for dancing, "Afro-rock" that combines rock with African rhythms, "Mex-rock", which combines rock with traditional Mexican melodies...and many, many more.1 2√ 3 4√ 5 6 7√ 8√ 9 10√ 11 12√Section IIIBig Big Worldby Emilia*I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do do feel that I do do will miss you muchMiss you muchI can see the first leaf fallingIt's all yellow and niceIt's so very cold outsideLike the way I'm feeling inside(Repeat the part marked with "*".)Outside it's now rainingAnd tears are falling from my eyesWhy did it have to happenWhy did it all have to end(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I have your arms around meWarm like fireBut when I open my eyes, you're gone(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do feel I will miss you muchMiss you much1.falling2.nice3.cold4.inside5.raining6.tears7.happen8.arms9.fire 10,gone。

新闻英语视听说(Unit 9) 听力文本与练习答案

Travel1Task One: Having a Fun Ski VacationNot as difficult as it may appear, skiing is an adventure for the millions upon millions. Not as easy as it looks, skiing demands careful preparation, conditioning and knowledge of technique.Beginners learn about terrain and ski equipment as primary training. Skis, boots, and helmetare enough for some. Experts say the most important thing for skiers is that they be comfortablewith their equipment.(Liu Jiao, skiing coach)“It’s helpful to get to know the structure of the skis. They are composed of surface, base and blade. The binding is essential. You should adjust the binding to fit perfectly. When you fall, the binding will release and prevent you from being injured by the skis.”One thing essential before hitting the slopes is exercise. This makes the body more flexibleand better able to cope with the strain of hurtling over rugged terrain.Mastering how to walk on skies and to brake are other essentials. Poles can prevent nastyslides but they are not really necessary.(Zhang Li, skiing coach)“Just holding the poles in your hands is ok. Don’t knot the belts around your wrists.Otherwise, it will hurt you when you fall over.”Braking demands bending the knees, and leaning slightly forward with the upper body. Theskis should remain at a distance of about 10 centimeters.(Zhang Li, skiing coach)“If you still can’t stop, you need to fall over on your side. Try to lower the center of gravitywhen you fall. And use the poles to help you get up. If it doesn’t work, you need to release the binding.”Skiing is quite demanding of energy. Make sure you get a good sleep the night before. If youare ready, let’s get started.Task Two: Traveling on Long-Distance BusesTraveling on long-distance buses is a popular alternative to the railways, even though priceshave gone up. (Wang Mangmang Reports)Relaxed and assured, passengers at this bus station will soon be on their way home. Without endless queues, buying a ticket is reasonably easy. And a ticket guarantees a seat.Zhang Haixia’s whole family is traveling home. They’ve always gone by bus on their annual journey. It costs eighty yuan per person to go to a neighboring province.(Bus passenger Zhang Haixia)“We’re so happy to go home. We take the bus because we don’t want to buy train tickets in2advance. It takes too much time.”Buses have their advantages, but with their increasing popularity and the rising cost of gas, fares have also gone up.Long-distance bus fares cannot by law increase by more than twenty percent during the holiday period. But passengers don’t seem to mind spending the extra.(Bus passenger Duan Shenglin)“I can still afford it.”(Reporter)“What if the price goes up again?”(Bus passenger Duan Shenglin)“I’m going home anyway, regardless of the price.”The peak of travel on the roads is expected to begin in a week’s time and post -holiday travel will hit around 11th and 12th, February as well as 22nd and 23rd.This is perhaps the least crowded transportation spot compared to train stations and airports. Passenger flow has not reached its peak, but people have already started heading home. After the Spring Festival, they will come back, starting another year of migrant life and looking forward to the next family reunion. Task Three: China Eastern Airlines Rejects Reports of Pilot StrikeIt turned out to be a gloomy week for China Eastern Airlines, as it was flooded with customer demands for compensation over delayed flights.This week, 14 China Eastern Airlines planes refused to land and returned to their departure points in southwestern Yunnan Province. On April 3rd, the airline announced that severe winds had forced the planes to return, rejecting some media reports of a pilot strike.(Zhang Jing, PR of China Eastern Airlines)“Due to the bad weather in Yunnan on March 31st, some of our flights had to return to departure airports.”The explanation isn’t satisfying some of the passengers affected by the delays, as many of them have decided to take the airline to court.(Passenger Zheng Wei)“We are preparing all the evidentiary support for a lawsuit. We need to protect our legal rights.”Some of the 14 flights were delayed for nearly 20 hours, and the airport terminals were crowded with anxious passengers waiting for their planes.(Passenger Zheng Wei)“China Eastern says the delay was caused by the bad weather. When I asked why other airlines’ flights were not affected, China Eastern said different airlines have different take -off standards.”Yunnan’s flight routes include many popular tourist destinations, and many carriers operate in the region. But China Eastern was the only airline affected. Industry insiders believe the returning flights were caused by something other than “weather conditions”.3(Zhang Qihuai, director & lawyer of China Aviation Law Committee)“Personally, I don’t think the Chinese Eastern Airline dispute was caused by a pilot strike. If pilots really went on strike, they shouldn’t even bother to take -off, then fly back. They could simply refuse to fly the plane. I b elieve the pilots were just making a point to their employer. It’s just a passive way to express their dissatisfaction.”Industry insiders say the root of the problem is a shortage of pilots in China. They also say the rights of pilots should be protected, but not through improper means which sacrifice the interests of passengers.Analysts are calling for China Eastern to compensate affected travelers as soon as possible, saying the problem was caused by an internal issue, and not the weather.The Lunar New Year is just a month away. And recent changes to China’s National Holiday system mean many more people are turning to the seven-day break over the Spring Festival, as their chance to get away and relax. Wang Jing tells us why travel agents are expecting booming sales.Travel agents in southern Guangdong Province are reporting a huge number of pre-bookings for travel during the Spring Festival. And they think sales are likely to be even hotter this year, despite a 10 percent hike in ticket and restaurant prices.(One Guangdong resident)“Now we don’t have a long May Day holiday, other holiday periods are also shorter, so I’m choosing to travel over this period.”Meanwhile in eastern Zhejiang Province, some of the more popular outbound travel packages are almost entirely sold out. One travel agent says just a few places are available for the end of the festival.(Jin Linyan, staff of Hangzhou International travel)“Tourists who want to go abroad during this period have to hur ry up. We have very tight air tickets, and the deadline for visa applications is also very close.”Several analysts say they expect a travel peak over this Spring Festival, with prices rising 10 to 20 percent. They’re recommending that those who want to ta ke pick another time to travel, because prices are likely to fall sharply after the upcoming holiday.练习答案Unit Nine TravelTask One1. 1) D 2) A 3) B 4) C 5) D2. 1) structure 2) surface 3) base 4) blade 5) binding6) When you fall, the binding will release and prevent you from being injured by the skis7) exercise 8) flexible 9) strain10) Mastering how to walk on skies and to brake are other essentials.4 Task Two1. 1) C 2) D 3) D 4) A 5) A Task Three1. 1) B 2) C 3) D 4) B 5) C2. 1) standards 2) destinations 3) operate 4) dispute 5) bother 6) passive7) dissatisfaction 8) the root of the problem is a shortage of pilots in China9) compensate 10) the problem was caused by an internal issue, and not the weather。

AOutside viewVoice-overEvery year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. V olunteers learn to solve problems,work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn’t afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad. This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks. They’re going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica’s highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.1. 17 to 252. 100 people3.

So what can I do for you?Speaker 2Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1I would agree with you there. Let’s have a look at your file. You’re reading English, you’re getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you’re on track for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you’d like to do?Speaker 2I’m very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I’m quite a good critic. Speaker 1That’s a good start. I’m guessing you’d like to be a literary editor?Speaker 2That’s right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn’t pay very well, unless you’re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just literature.For example, there’s educational publishing, professional publishing and there’s also specialist publishing, such as sports. Speaker 2I’m not very sporty.Speaker 1Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but …you get the idea.Speaker 2Yes, I do. So how do I start?Speaker 1First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they’ll offer you work experience. You won’t get paid, of course, but it’s good for your CV and you’ll learn something about the business.Speaker 2Right. How do I find out who to write to? Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There’s a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2Thank you.Speaker 1The other thing you might do is check the Internet –sometimes, the publishers’websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2I’ll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they’re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments –marketing, sales, and the production side. Don’t dismiss those. Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do. Speaker 1Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.1.The five pieces of advice he career adviser gives the student are 1,2,4,7 and 82.1. The woman is to take her second year exams.2. She wants to do literary editing.3. She is drawn to publishing, reads a lot of novels and is quite a good critic.4. He tells her it is a hard profession to get into and doesn’t pay very well.5. It is very good for her CV and the woman will learn something about the business.6. She can find it in the careers section of the library.7. She should consider marketing, sales and production.8. She maintains that she wants to do literary editing.Passage2HarrySo how was your first day of teaching, Lucy? LucyIt was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be.HarryWell done!LucyYes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.JessicaIt’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover wedon’t know anything.LucyHow long have you been teaching, Jessica? JessicaJust over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really –the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be so polite all the time.PatrickSo you’re teaching English because you want to travel?JessicaYes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.PatrickI feel the same. So what do you want to do next?JessicaMarketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then –I hope –get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the plan.PatrickSounds good.HarryWhat about you, Patrick? Where have you worked?PatrickI did three years in Italy –Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn, Harry. HarryWell, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.JessicaYou don’t see teaching English as a career? HarryWell, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.LucyWhich countries have you been to, Harry? HarryI did a year’s teaching in Brazil –Rio de Janeiro –such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.PatrickCool. And then?HarryTwo years in Mexico City …JessicaYou should be a travel writer.HarryI’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.LucyGreat!HarryWell, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?LucyUm - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that.

It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl’s family on this river bank.Janet ：Oh, that’s fascinating! I’ll put it into my diary.Kate ：Is that what you’re writing? I know you’ve been keeping a diary all the year. Janet It’s been a great year.

However, we’re going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world’s biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing “superjumbo”. The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with154 planes ordered by the world’s airlines, the big question was: “Will it fly at all?”On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.Topics mentioned are: 1, 3, 5, 6 and 82.1.France2. China3. Britain4.

CListening inPassage1PresenterCould technological advances be changing people’s identities –and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel. Greenfield suggests that advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I’m joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery at University College Hospital. Let’s begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains work?BrianWell, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other –billions of connections –and store information. We all have basically the same brain structure. It’s what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it. So to some extent, it’s the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind of people we are –and that’s what we call our identity.JaneAnd if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in their identity.PresenterWhy exactly?JaneBecause the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may be changing our sense of reality –what we see as real –and may even reduce it. And if this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behaviour.PresenterCan you give an example?JaneRisk-taking is a good example –we may start taking more risks.BrianBut she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.JaneThat’s true.BrianI agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behavedifferently –we need much more research before we can accept this.2.1. presenter2.

Aren’t they more trouble than they’re worth?Speaker 2I think that’s one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard!Speaker 1I thought you might say that.Speaker 2Of course we need computers. How can anyone say otherwise? They’ve revolutionized our lives. I mean, I don’t know where to begin, they’ve changed our lives so much. Look. To start with, computers mean we can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world almost instantly.Speaker 1That’s not quite true.Speaker2Well, you know what I mean. I can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes. If I want to conference with people there’s webcam –we can see each other on camera –do you really want me to go on? Speaker 1But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minutes? What does it actually achieve?Speaker 2It speeds things up. I don’t have to put the document in an envelope, stick a stamp on it and go to the post office, stand in a queue …knowing it will take another three days to get there –at least.Speaker 1But why the hurry?Speaker 2It’s good to get things done quickly. Speaker 1Why?Speaker 2Because you get more done that way. Speaker 1But is that really necessarily better? Life moves so fast these days, don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more? Speaker 2I think computers allow us to enjoy life more. Before we had computers if you wanted to research you had to go out and get a book. That took such a long time.Speaker 1So what? We just did things more slowly, that’s all. Are you saying we have more time now than we did? Everyone says that actually life is moving faster and faster. And what about all the problems that computers create? Speaker 2For example?Speaker 1Identity theft is a big one. You have to admit that identify theft has increased massively since we got the Internet.Speaker 2The Internet isn’t the only reason why identity theft has increased.Speaker 1You know as well as I do that it’s a bigreason …Speaker 2Yes, but …6.1. Do we really need computer?2. Of course we need computers- they’ve revolutionized our lives3.We can send a document from London to Sydney in five minutes; we can use webcam to conference with people who are far away.4. Life moves so fast these days. Don’t you think we should slow down a bit, enjoy life a bit more?7.1. I thought you might say that.2. That’s not quite true.3. But why is it so useful, to be able to send a document to Australia in five minute?4. But why the hurry?5.But is that really necessarily better?6. So what?7.

Unit 9 Holidays and Special DaysPart OneLinda: (with a moon cake in her mouth) Mm, this is good.Chris: Yeah... very interesting flavor. So this is a so-called moon cake? Yingying: Yeah, today is a special festival for all Chinese families. It is calledMid-Autumn Festival or Moon Festival. People will eat moon cakes during the festival with family members in the moonlight. It's just like your American Thanksgiving.Linda: Oh, I've heard a little about it... the beautiful story of Hou Yi and Chang Er. Chinese Students: You know the story?Chris: Sure, Linda and I are both very interested in Chinese culture, especially Chinese traditional festivals, like Spring Festival...Linda: It was an unforgettable experience when we were invited to Xiaoqiang's home for the Chinese New Year.Xiaoqiang: I noticed that Chris was especially fascinated by the lion and dragon dancing.Chris: And the fireworks, jiaozi, oh yes, and the red envelopes.Wenwen: Yeh. We Chinese have a lot of traditional festivals.Linda: Can you tell me about some of the others?Wenwen: Yeh. One of my favorite festivals falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. That's the Lantern Festival. During that event, many kinds of delicate and beautiful lanterns are exhibited and red lanterns can be seen everywhere. And every family eats yuanxiao, a kind of rice ball filled with bean paste, sugar or some other sweet things. That's a symbol of family reunion and happiness.Yingying: Also there's the Qingming Festival, which some people call "the Tomb Sweeping Day"...Chris: Tomb Sweeping?Yingying: Yeah! This day is devoted to honoring relatives who died. Thousands of Chinese visit the tombs of their loved ones. The Chinese have great respect for their ancestors.Linda: That sounds very nice.Xiaogang: Well, another important festival in China is the Dragon Boat Festival.Xiaoqiang: You mean duanwu jie?Xiaogang: Yes. It falls on the 5th day of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. People usually race dragon boats and eat zongzi on that day.Chris: I like zongzi very much. But why do people celebrate the holiday this way?Xiaogang: The fact is, these activities are traditional customs to honor the patriotic poet, Qu Yuan. He drowned himself on this day in 277 B.C. because his king did not take his advice and his state was conquered. Since then, each year on the 5th day of the 5th month people take boats and throw bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the water to feed the fish in order to save his body. Later the custom of racing boats and eating zongzi became part of the celebration.Linda: That's interesting, and you always have stories about them.Wenwen: (mysteriously) Any of you know the "Double Seventh Day" and the "Double Ninth Day"?Chris: Isn't the "Double Ninth Day" a day for old people's hill-climbing?Xiaogang: Yes. Since the word "Nine" sounds similar to the word "long time" in Chinese, this number represents "long life" in China. Well, as you can see, gradually this became "a day to honor senior citizens". But originally people would climb high mountains and honor their family members on this day.Linda: Oh, that's interesting! Then how about "Double Seventh Day"? I really have no idea about it.Wenwen: I guess you could call it our traditional Chinese Valentine's Day.Linda: Valentine's Day? Really?Wenwen: Yeah, an ancient Chinese legend tells the story about the cowherd and the weaving maid, who made the gods angry by their secret love and later the two were separated on two widely distant stars. And on that day, the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, each year, sympathetic magpies form a bridge between the stars and this allows the couple to meet again. And the day is celebrated by the exchange of cards, love letters, or flowers.Chris and Linda: (both) Oh!

Almost all families eat turkey and cranberry sauce for this meal, and have pumpkin pie for dessert. This feast is part of a very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving.In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is now Massachusetts. In England the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion. So they went to the New World in search of religious freedom.The Pilgrims' first winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and disease. But the Indians of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to hunt and to fish. When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to "God" and the Indians and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving.Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of the effort of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday.Exercise 11.B2.A3.A4.B5.CExercise 21.4th2.November3.reunion4.16215.English6.winter7.18638.LincolnListening IIISaint Valentine's DaySeveral different stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentine's Day. One legend dates as far back as the days of the Roman Empire. According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join. Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.A priest named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14.After his death, Valentine was made a saint, and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine's Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other messages on this day. Now Saint Valentine's Day is a time for people to give roses or chocolates and to send one another greetings.Exercise 11.A2.C3.B4.D5.CExercise 21.T2.F3.F4.F5.TPart ThreePractice OneThe origin of Halloween dates back at least 3,000 years to the Celtic celebration of Samhain (pronounced "sow-ain"). The festival began at sundown on October 31st andlasted until sundown on November 1st. It was similar to the modern New Year's celebration.On this magical night, glowing Jack-o-lanterns, carved from turnips or gourds, were set on porches and in windows to welcome deceased loved ones and protect against bad spirits. Burning lumps of coal were used inside as light, and later replaced by candles.Samhain meant "Summer's End". It was believed that the souls of the dead were closest to this world and it was the best time to contact them to say good-bye or ask for assistance. It was also a celebration of the harvest, and still is by those who practice nature-based religions.When European settlers arrived in America they found the native pumpkin to be larger, easier to carve and perfect for Jack-o-lanterns. Halloween didn't really become popular in the U.S. until the late 1800s and has been celebrated in many ways ever since.Exercise 11.A2.D3.C4.B5.DExercise 21,T 2,T 3,T 4T 5.FPractice TwoIf you try to catch a train on 24th December you may have difficulty in finding a seat. This is the day when many people are traveling home to be with their families on Christmas Day, 25th December. For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year.There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. Children leave a long sock or stocking at the end of their bed on Christmas Eve, 24th December, hoping that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents, fruit and nuts. They are usually not disappointed! At some time on Christmas Day the family will sit down to a big turkey dinner followed by Christmas pudding. They will probably pull a cracker with another member of the family. It will make a loud crack, and a colored hat, small toy and joke will fall out! Later in the afternoon they may watch the Queen on television as she delivers her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. If they have room for even more food, they may enjoy a piece of Christmas cake or eat a hot mince pie. The 26th December is also a public holiday, Boxing Day, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or watch football.Exercise 11 2 3√ 4√ 5√ 6 7 8√Exercise 21.24 th December/Dec.24 th2.the giving of presents3.stockings4.small toy joke5.afternoon6.26 th December/Dec.26 thPractice ThreeSonora got the idea for Father's Day more than eighty years ago. She was listening to a speech about Mother's Day and decided that fathers should be recognized, too. She especially wanted to honor her own father, who had raised six children alone. Sonora asked the clergy in Spokane to prepare speeches to honor fathers on the first Sunday in June, her own father's birthday. But they did not give the speeches until two weeks later.Fifteen years later, President Calvin Coolidge said Americans should honor their fathers on the third Sunday in June. In 1972, Father's Day became a national holiday in the United States. American families celebrate Father's Day by gathering for dinner or a picnic. They may do special things for Father on his special day: prepare his favorite foods or join him in a favorite activity. And everyone gives him cards and gifts.Each year, a private group called the National Father's Day Committee chooses an American man to receive its Father of the Year Award. The first award was given fifty years ago to General Douglas MacArthur, World War II Commander.General Norman Schwarzkopf, former commander of Allied Forces in the Persian Gulf, was among the winners. He said that being a father puts things in balance. After giving orders all day to thousands of people and having them obey, he said, there is something very healthy about coming home at night and not being able to get your children to clean their teeth!Exercise 11 2 3√ 4√ 5√ 6 7√ 8 9 10√Exercise 21.T2.F3.T4.T5.F6.T7.F8.F9.F 10.TPractice FourSpeaker 1: Christmas, for me, means family. I've got a son in San Francisco and a daughter in Houston. They come home for Christmas and we can see the grandchildren. Sure, we exchange a few presents, but that's not important. Getting together and seeing the kids is what makes Christmas a special time.Speaker 2: Christmas is a time for celebration. I love it—the parties, the good food, the presents. Everybody's happy. Christmas means you enjoy yourself. I love hearingChristmas carols and waking up in the morning when it's all dark and turning on the lights on the Christmas tree.Speaker 3: You know what Christmas means to me? Trouble, that's what! It's not a religious holiday anymore; it's a chance for the stores to make a lot of money. Everybody expects presents, the streets are crowded, and you know what I read? A lot of people get depressed at Christmas. That's right—if you don't have a lot of money or friends, Christmas means a whole lot of disappointment.Speaker 4: Christmas is Santa Claus and Christmas trees and presents. This year I asked for a bike. Do you think Santa can carry it down the chimney?Speaker 5: Christmas means happiness. I work really hard buying presents, sending Christmas cards, making cookies—trying to remember everything. But it's fun to see the looks on the kids' faces when they open their presents, and I like to go to church and sing Christmas carols. And when it snows, now that's really great you have a white Christmas.1.D2.E3.G4.B5.APart FourSection IInterviewer: Hello. I work for Sun Tour Holidays and I'm interviewing people about their last holiday. Would you mind answering a few questions for our survey? Interviewee: No, not at all.Interviewer: Thank you. First, could you tell me about your travel arrangements? Did you experience any difficulties in reaching your destination?Interviewee: Well. Our plane didn't take off on time. It was delayed five hours, so we didn't get to Cyprus until three in the morning and we were very tired when we got there. But there was a bus at the airport waiting to pick us up and it dropped us off at the hotel in time for breakfast, so that was all right.Interviewer: And how was the hotel?Interviewee: Well, we were a little disappointed with the room. It didn't have a balcony and it looked out onto some rather ugly, noisy streets, but the beach was just a stone's throw away—it only took us a couple of minutes to get there.Interviewer: And how important are holidays to you?Interviewee: Oh, we always look forward to going on holiday. We always make sure we get away at least once a year.1.take off2.five hours3.three4.tired5.ugly6.noisy7.bus8.pick us up9.breakfast 10.beachSection IIOnce there was an old woman who liked to bake cookies. She didn't have anyone to share them with, so she just gave them away to the children in the neighborhood. This went on for several years and the cookies became quite famous, especially at Christmas time. The parents began to like the cookies as much as the children did, and the old woman's kitchen became very busy, so the children came to help.Then one Christmas the old woman became ill. There were no cookies, and there was no money to pay the doctor. The children were very sad. Later they had a bright idea, that is, to bake cookies from the old woman's recipe. So the children started a cookie store. Soon they had a very good cookie business, with money to pay the doctor as well as to put in the bank.After the woman got well, she was asked to become the manager of the store, selling special cookies for all the holidays of the year. After the old woman died, the children, now grown up, kept the cookie business alive in her name. Maybe life is like a Christmas cookie. The more you share it with your friends, the more you're likely to enjoy it.Part A1.A2.A3.B4.B5.DPart B1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FSection IIISeveral holidays are unique to America. Columbus Day, which is celebrated on the second Monday in October to honor the discovery of North America; Fourth of July, which is Independence Day; Washington's Birthday, which is celebrated on the third Monday in February to honor the first president of the Republic; and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving originates from the days of the early New England colonists who were having difficulty surviving in the New Land. Without the help of the native American Indians, the settlers would have died. The Indians showed the colonists how to hunt wild turkeys and grow corn. In the fall, the Indians and colonists gathered for a feastto honor their friendship. Today, Americans follow the tradition by inviting friends and relatives for a turkey dinner on the fourth Thursday of November.Don't be surprised if you are invited to a Thanksgiving dinner or perhaps aFourth-of-July barbecue held in the back yard. You may be asked to a Chinese New Year celebration, or St. Patrick's Day party. The different ethnic and religious groups in the USA celebrate their own special festivities.1.T2.F3.T4.F5.F。
