Ted Hello. My name is Ted, and I'm from the United States
of America. Today, I'm going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ - which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, "IQ. What's your IQ? Take an IQ test." But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very
me down.
Kate: I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love Unit 2-Outside view
speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable Sebastien
I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to
take ... I think I'd taken like two or three IQ tests before the age often, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ1 scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring lout... It's basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel. think they're equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there's a better mixture of the two I link. There's a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.

UNIT4A: Hi, Dr. Banghart.B: Yes.A: I'm really not feeling well at all, and the medicine you gave me isn't doing any good at all.B: Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Remind me again of what your, your first symptoms were? A: Well, I have ... My chest hurts, and my throat is sore. And I kind of have a stuffy nose, and a little bit of an earache.B: I see, I see. Is it hard to breathe?A: It's not really hard to breathe, but it ... Whenever I breathe, I cough.B: You cough. Is there any pain associated with your breathing?A: Only in my chest, it hurts a little bit, yes.B: It does, it does. All right, well, I want you to continue to take the medication that I gave you. A: OK. Well, I've taken it for three days and it doesn't seem to be doing any good at all.B: Well, I understand. The literature suggests that four to seven days it may take to really do this if it's what we think it is.A: OK, OK, I see.B: So be sure to keep taking that medication. Uh, I'm thinking that you could also ... Do you have a humidifier in your house?A: Yes, I do.B: OK, because we want to make sure that the air isn't too dry in your house.A: OK, now it's a warm air humidifier. Is that all right?B: That would be the best. That's actually very good. That's very good. And that might give you some comfort until the medication really starts working. OK?A: OK, great. Thank you so much.B: And if it, if it still is bad in another day or two, better, better make an appointment and come in, and we will take some closer look.A: Great, I will do that.B: OK.A: Thank you very much.B: I'm sorry you are not feeling better but I'm sure you will soon.A: Thank you. OK. Bye.B: Bye.Unit5A: Well, it's really great to see you!B: I was just going to say it is so great to be here! I can't believe I finally got here!A: How do you like it? Do you like the area?B: It's wonderful. I love your house. (A: Thank you!) It's just... I can't believe how long it took me to actually get here.A: I know.B: But, I'm here now. And what I was thinking. I know you've got to go run some errands. Iwanted to just drive around a little bit, see what your neighborhood's like, (A: Great! Great!) Maybe I can cook the dinner tonight, 'cause... that's all.A: That's so maze. You want me to tell where some shopping is?B: Great, yeah!A: OK, there is a real close store, if you just go out of the neighborhood here, and then make a left, on Elmwood.B: As I wind around, that's the road I turned off to get here, OK?A: Yes, yes. You take all the way in and you will run into a big grocery store, and a mall, so you can go clothes shopping, too.B: Well.A: And if you really want some like specialty things, like some good breads, from the mall, you'll make a right, (B: OK) and that's Saginaw. You go down Saginaw, and on your left, will be a bakery.B: Oh, perfect.A: Has lots of good bread and cakes and all sorts of delicious things.B: I was thinking maybe salmon, you know, a big salad and some good bread, and there (A: That sounds wonderful) you go. Maybe pick up a little ... Something sweet for dessert.A: Yes, yeah, thank you. That would be really nice. So I have to run, OK?B: OK.A: So thank you so much.B: I will see you, I don't know what, an hour?A: Probably an hour and a half. OK?B: OK!Unit6A: Hello.B: Hi, I missed you at the party the other day.A: Oh, hey, I am sorry I couldn't make it; you know how I was sick all last weekend.B: Oh, total bummer.A: How was it?B: It was great. I was so surprised. I can't believe they'd do that for me. It was so great.A: Yeah, I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you had a happy birthday.B: Oh, I had a great birthday. It was really fun. Yeah, I got a karaoke machine!A: Oh, wow, that's great!B: So the rest of the party kind of ended up revolving around the karaoke machine, and a little bit too much alcohol, and you know, it was a good time.A: Oh, that sounds fun. So, who all was there?B: Well, let's see, Angie came, and Dave and Tom came, and Amy came all the way from Arizona. A: Wow, it must have been great to see her again.B: I haven't seen her in so long. It was wonderful.A: Wow, that sounds like a really fun party. I'm sorry I missed it. Yeah, I wish you'd been there. Well, I'll come to the next one. OK, I am sure there will be another one. Well, I'll talk to you later.B: OK, see you later.A: Bye.B: Bye.UNIT7A: I'm a little embarrassed, but um, so you know, I'm on my own for the first time, and my mom always did my grocery shopping for me, and I got some like major food shopping to do... any advice?B: Oh, you haven't really been shopping before on your own, hu ... OK, well, I can give you a few pointers I think. Um, you want to the big grocery store, right? And, um, what you'll need to do, before you go shopping, it's important to make a list. It's a mistake I make sometimes, is you don't make a list before you go and then you come back, and you didn't get everything you needed. So you want to make sure that you make your list, as far as what cooking you want to do, and other things you need and things like that. And then, try to organize the list in terms of parts of the store, so that you can, you know, do your shopping more efficiently, as you move around the store, you know, so you don't have to go back and forth across the store.A: The less walking the better.B: Exactly, exactly, and that way it's quicker and everything like that, so. That'll be good. Um, you want to make sure that you do some comparison when you're pricing. Compare prices and make sure that you're getting the best product for the value, so look at, you know, how much you're getting, and the quality and the price, and uh, you know the products that are similar are all there right next to each other, so it's easy for you to compare and make sure you're getting the best value for your money. And, um, I would get the cheapest brands usually, because usually ...A: Don't they taste worse or anything?B: No, not usually. They taste about the same, and uh, you're really just paying more for, you know, the packaging and things like that, so ...A: That's true.B: Um, so, yeah, and then afterwards you just bring it up, you, you know, they'll bring it up for you, and bag it for you, and then you just take your bags and bring it home.A: OK.B: So, and just make sure you put the cold things in the refrigerator right away, or else they'll spoil, so ...A: Right! Thank you.B: Well, good luck with that.A: Very helpful, thank you.UNIT8A: Hey, Abby, how is it going?B: Pretty good, how are you?A: Oh, I'm OK, I'm OK. I just called cause I need some advice. I just hung up the phone with mydad. And we kind of had an argument.B: What was it about?A: Well, I needed to borrow some more money from him. You know how it is, being a college student - always need more money.B: I understand.A: Yeah, but he doesn't like the way I spend my money. He thinks I've been pretty irresponsible. And so we kind of got into an argument about that. I'm feeling kind of bad. And I was wondering if you had any advice, or maybe what I should do.B: Well, I'm wondering how the conversation ended, it sort of ended badly, or you guys fighting when you hung up the phone?A: Yeah, yeah, it ended pretty badly, yeah.B: Well, you know, I would call him back. I think the more you talk, the better, the better it can get. You know, you are an adult, you live your own life, and I think how you spend your money is probably valid, and you just try to convince him of that.A: Hmm, it seems like a good idea. But, he's pretty, he's pretty set his way, I think he, I don't know if he'd really listen to that, or change his mind, I don't know if that would work.B: Can you go without the money?A: Hmm, I don't know, I really need it. I was hoping to, you know, go up to the city this weekend and have a good time, and I'm really just too broke to do that.B: Well, you may just have to give that up for one weekend to kind of stand up for yourself. Kind of win the fight.A: Yeah, maybe it's worth it. I guess maybe I have to adjust my life style a little bit.B: Maybe I can treat you to movie.A: Oh, that would be great. Maybe that'd make me feel better. So you think I should probably call him back?B: Yeah, call him back, just talk it over. It's always better have things settled.A: You know, I think you're right. That's what I will do. Well, thanks a lot, Abby.B: No problem.A: I'll see you later.B: Bye.A: Bye.UNIT9A: OK, I am going to tell you the worst travel experience I ever had.B: OK.A: OK. I am flying from the Bahamas to Florida, and we're in a little plane, that's got like ten seats in it. So, already I'm scared because I hate little planes. And we're flying toward Miami, and I look out the window, if I could look out of the window, because the plane is going like this, and bouncing up and down, and up and down, and we are being thrown back and forth. And I look out the window, and there is a tornado hitting the Miami airport. The one we're supposed to be flying into. So we circled around the ocean, and tried... Circled around the ocean again, we circled around the ocean again; I thought we were going to land in the ocean. So we ended up having toland in Fort Lauderdale, which is a long ways from Miami, and my plane was supposed to ... my connection is supposed to be in Miami. So we ended up having to spend the night in Fort Lauderdale, and my sister in law is praying and crying on the plane, I am holding Jeff's hand so tightly, that I think we are going to die, and he says, "don't worry, be calm, look at how calm the pilot is, he is so calm." We land the plane, I go up to the pilot and I say, were we OK, was everything safe? And he said, "I have never been so scared in my entire life." OK. Try to top that. B: No, I haven't got a chance.UNIT10A: Hello dad.B: Yes.A: Hi, how's it going?B: Oh, all right, how are you?A: I am pretty well, pretty well. I just wanted to call... You know how I was looking for an apartment.B: Yeah.A: Yeah. I just... I saw an ad in the paper that sounded good, I wanted to let you know about it. B: Well, I'd like to hear about it.A: Well, it's a two-bedroom, two-bedroom apartment, and it's on Lake Lansing, right on the lake. So that sounds nice. And it's got a lot of amenities, it's got air conditioning, washer and drier, dishwasher, so that's good ...B: And what's the rent?A: It's only 665 a month.B: Six hundred sixty five dollars a month, for rent right on Lake Lansing, that sounds really nice ... does that include utilities?A: I'm not sure, I'll have to call and ask about that, but I think either way it sounds like a good deal.B: Mmm.A: Another thing that is nice is it actually has a boat dock.B: A boat dock? Well, that sounds like fun, are you going to get a boat?A: Yeah, I think I might get a small boat, maybe go out on the lake with my friends or something. B: Well, that sounds good.A: Yeah. I think it sounds nice.B: Well, how about ... are you going to need any help with the security deposit?A: Actually, that's another great thing about it. It says no security deposit with approved credit. So, and my credit's pretty good, so I think I should be able to do it without that.B: Oh, that's real good.A: So, yeah, I just wanted to let you know about that. Looks like ... Looks like my search for an apartment has come to an end.B: Well, that's good to hear. Well, thanks for calling and telling me about it.A: Sure, I'll keep you posted. Talk to you later.B: OK.

And so I've been living here for about a year.A: Oh, OK, great, so you are from around here originally?B: Yeah. Born and raised in Lansing.A: Oh, OK, great, wow. So, do you think you gonna live here for a while longer or do you think you're going to move somewhere else?B: Probably, for another year or so, so I can save some money, while I am going to school.A: Sure, sure.B: But ideally, ideally, ideally, I would like to live in New York City.A: Oh, wow.B: Yeah.A: Big city.B: I would love to live there, like right downtown, in an apartment, just so I could step outside and be in the city.A: Wow, that sounds great, be really close to everything, huh?B: I would love to, yes.A: So, you think in a few years you think you are going to try to move out there?B: In a few years, that's the plan, yeah.A: Wow, that sounds great.B: Look, I'll have to save up a lot of money, because, you know, that's expensive, very expensive to live there.A: It is expensive, in New York City, it's true.B: But you know, hopefully I could you know, pursue the theatre, and just...I live the dream.A: Sure, that sounds great, that sounds great. Well, I hope you make it.B: Thanks. I'll try.UNIT12A: So, Rick, what is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?B: Hmm, now you might ... This might not seem so weird, but I once tried escargot.A: Hum. How were the snails?B: Well, they weren't as bad as I thought they'd be, but I don't know if I'd try them again.A: Yeah, I don't think I could do the snail thing.B: Uh uh.A: Do you usually like foods that are from, you know, other countries, foreign foods?B: Sure. I like to try different things; I like to try foods from Asia, and Europe, interesting things that I haven't tried before.A: I really like Middle Eastern cuisine.B: Oh, yeah, I think that's the best, yeah, absolutely.A: I am not a big meat eater, and they have a lot of really good like lentils and vegetable things. B: Sure, a lot of good vegetarian foods. Yeah, yeah, that's good stuff, that's good stuff. Would you say that's your favorite, do you think?A: I think Chinese food might be my favorite.B: Mm, yeah, Chinese food is pretty great.UNIT13A: So, I hear you're looking for a new job.B: Yeah, I just graduated, and so, I've got my certificate in massage therapy, and I'm looking for a job.A: Looking for a job as a massage therapist?B: Yeah, I was thinking maybe something in a spa, because it's a really nice relaxing environment. A: Yeah, that sounds like a good kind of environment to work in. How much do you think you'd be getting paid?B: I'm not sure, I think depending on how high class this spa is or how nice it is, I could probably get 30 dollars an hour, maybe more.A: Oh, wow, it's not too bad, yeah. You'd do pretty well that way.B: Give an hour massage, get 30 dollars.A: Mmm, that sounds great, that sounds great. So, are there any spas around here, or do you think you'd have to move? Have to relocate.B: Well, there's a really nice one called the "Yellow Strawberry" and it's downtown, and that might be really nice. Honestly, if I had to ... If I had to drive a long way, I don't think I'd ever go to work. So I am not willing to commute, so I would really like to find something around here.A: I see. So if you couldn't find something around here, and you don't want to commute, would you be willing to relocate, you think?B: Yeah, yeah, I would be willing to move, I am pretty open right now, so I could move.A: That sounds good. Well, I hope you find something. I'm sure ... I'm sure that they are looking for people, so good luck.B: Thank you.。

Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers 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. Volunteers 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.Unit 8-Listening inNews reportA survey of more than 14,000 UK residents has revealed that being an author is the most desired job in Britain. Sixty per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is ￡11,000, which is less than the minimum incom e. Librarians make between ￡19,500 and ￡29,500 annually, depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news reportPassage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all goingSpeaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1 It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for youSpeaker2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's havea look atyour file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades,you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on trackfor a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea whatyou'd like to doSpeaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot ofnovels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be aliterary editorSpeaker 2 That's right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hardprofession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than justliterature. For example, there's educational publishing,professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing,such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thingbut... you get the idea.Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1 First 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 2 Right. 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 2 Thank you.Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2 I'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 theproduction side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful.But it'sliterary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how youget on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, 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.Jessica It's extraordinary, isn't it We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a teaching English course and discover we don't know anything.Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica Jessica Just 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. Patrick So you're teaching English because you want to travel Jessica Yes, that's part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it's a good career.Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do nextJessica Marketing, I think. I'm going to do a year here, then -1 hope - get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that's the plan.Patrick Sounds good.Harry What about you, Patrick Where have you worked Patrick I 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.Harry Well, I'm not like you and Jessica. I'm just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.Jessica You don't see teaching English as a career Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry Harry I 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.Patrick Cool. And thenHarry Two years in Mexico City ...Jessica You should be a travel writer.Harry I'm too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.Lucy Great!Harry Well, we're all giving our reasons forteaching English, so what's yours, LucyLucy Um -I think I'm going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it's great to be in Italy. I mean Venice, what more can you ask。

The people were beautiful. Everything was beautiful. It changed my life.Cindy: But I’ve always heard that Thai was impossible to learn. Dave: Maybe for some people but not for me. I mean it is totally different from English. The writing system is different, they use different tones, everything is different, but I really want to learn it. I want to understand more when I go back.Cindy: I wish I felt that way about learning French. Maybe I should study another language.Dave: No, Cindy, it’s not the language. You’ve just got to get into it.Unit 5 Nationalities “All around the world”Steve: I can’t believe these people. I can’t believe what they do. Trish: Calm down, Steve. What are you talking about?

And I was sick all the time, so my parents took me to a doctor. And, well, the doctor at first did n’t want to treat me because —Jean: What: Why?Chandra: Well, because I was a girl.Jean: Huh? Because you were a girl?Chandra: Yeah, well, that’s the way it was. Anyway, so my parents took me to this witch doctor, and I —Jean: A witch doctor?Chandra: Yeah, well, I guess you could call her a — I don’t know, a spiritual healer. She was an old woman in our village. And she tooka look at me and she said I needed silver.Jean: Silver?Chandra: Yeah. She said I needed silver so that I could get better.

Unit2Ⅰ。

Lead-in1.This is a difficult question, for most of us enjoy both. But if you press me with this question, I should say that personally Iprefer watching a DVD at home. It is true that watching a movie at a theater has a number of advantages. For example, the sound effects are much better. When you hear guns firing in a theater, you feel as if you were on a real battlefield.Moreover, the presence of an audience can create a good atmosphere. When you watch a comedy on TV by yourself, you may be amused by the funny words and actions, but you are unlikely to laugh out loud. In a theater, on the other hand, you may laugh heartily when the whole audience bursts into wild laughter. In spite of those pluses for the theater, I have to say that I prefer to stay home and watch the same movie on DVD. In this way I feel more relaxed. I don't have to sit on a chair.Instead, I can lie on a sofa. I can drink tea or coffee while watching the movie. I can also press the PAUSE button, go to the kitchen or toilet, and then come back to continue the movie. More importantly, if I don't understand a section of the movie,I can replay it. Obviously, the advantages of viewing at home outweigh the advantages of viewing it at a theater.2.Different people have different choices, each with their own reasons. Generally, older people prefer old, classic movies,while young people choose contemporary movies, though we can find many exceptions to that pattern. It is reasonable for older people to favor the traditional movies of their time. When they see such movies, their memories of the past will be activated. It is not uncommon for us to observe that when elderly people see things in a movie that they personally experienced, they get excited and even shed tears. Some doctors say this sort of memory stimulation can have healing effects and slow down memory loss. While I understand that older people have good reasons to choose old movies, I prefer movies on contemporary themes. New movies are superior in many respects. First of all, the technology has improved, and therefore we can enjoy better scenes. Second, the directors, actors and actresses have all improved their skills. When you look at Chinese movies of the 1950s, you may find some actors and actresses talk or act somewhat artificially. Third, contemporary movies are often closer to our daily lives, and after seeing them, we can understand our society better. In other words, new movies have better educational value. Of course, the advantages of modern movies are not limited only to those I've just named. But they are reasons enough for me to make my choice.3.Occasionally I do enjoy seeing a foreign movie. It can take my mind off to a distant land. The outlandish setting oftenexcites me, and the different values tend to give me much food for thought. However, my lack of background information often requires me to make too many inferences, and sometimes I cannot understand certain parts of the movie. In such cases I may feel less entertained. By comparison, I feel more at home with Chinese movies. I can easily associate the scene and lines with the historical background. I can readily understand witty conversation and implied meanings. Sometimes I can even predict what is going to happen from the speaker's tone or gesture. Still, it is true that Chinese movies cannot yet compete with Western movies in filming technology. I do hope the next generation of Chinese movies will make further improvement.4.Certainly I want to see the movie first. A movie is meant chiefly to entertain, while a book may have a stronger educationalfunction in addition to its entertainment function. If one reads the book first, one will know the outcome of the movie in advance. With hardly any suspense, the movie will lose much of its appeal in spite of its colorful scenes. On the other hand, if we see the movie first, we can still appreciate the corresponding book. The book is usually longer than the adapted movie, and therefore you can still find a lot of new stuff. What's more, while reading a book, you can stop from time to time to think about the deeper meaning. So you see, after seeing the movie, you can still enjoy the book.Ⅲ.Listening InTask2:A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, "This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At theopening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line in praise of the rose: 'Ah, the sweet smell of my love.'" The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, "Ah, the sweet smell of my love." The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! "Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!" he cried. "You've ruined my play! You've ruined me!" The actor was puzzled, "What happened? Did I forget my line?" "No!" shouted the director. "You forgot the rose!"Task3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year that I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend "Monsoon Wedding". It's an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It's great!Among dramas, I like "Adaptation". It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow.I hope to see it again on DVD with captions."The Pianist" is set in the Second World War. It's about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes."Rabbit-Proof Fence" is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it's based on real events. It is about three native girls, who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They ran away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.Ⅴ.Let’s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense to surprise in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what would happen when the characters finally learn the truth.Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock's passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, "And what do you produce?" "Gooseflesh." replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, or walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he'd sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.Ⅵ.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Only One LinePeter had always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he'd only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, "Listen, I hear the guns roar!" Peter practiced and practiced, "Listen, I hear the guns roar!" On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, "Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!" Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"Task3:The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret. The secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J. K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for now Harry's secret is safe with her!。
