姓名：……学号：……学院：….. 专业：….. 指导老师：……Unit 6Time traveler1. What was the guy doing when he suddenly found himself in a completely different world? What year is it in this different world?Answer: The guy was just about to give his wife a present for herbirthday ,and there were thunders and lightening. Then all of a sudden, he found himself in a completely different world.It is the year 2000 i n this different world.2. What are some of the cultural shocks he’s experienced in this world?Answer: He traveled from the year 1900 to the year 2000, so he experienced many cultural shocks when communicating with others.He felt confused about the ID card, the driver licence, the credit card, ATM card and something like that. He misunderstood the meaning of the restroom and the bathroom. Also he could not understand the meaning of a mall or food court. He couldn’t read the menu and thought a hotdog as a real dog. What’s more, he was curious about the cellphone because he had never seen it before.3. Some science fictions on time travel are mainly about cultural shocks. Can you conceive of a time traveler of our time going back to 1960’s or even earlier, or vice versa? What would be some of the cultural shocks the traveler would encounter? Make a list of them or conceive a conversation as the traveler first sets foot in the different world.Answer: Recently, many TV plays, based on a series of experiences of a time traveler, such as The Palace and Startling by Each Step, arouse a great upsurge in time traveling. In fact, I can’t conceive of a time traveler of our time going back to 1960’s or even earlier,but these TV plays really appeal to me. For example, the leading lady in Startling by Each Step, traveled from our time back to Qing dynasty.Of course, a time traveler will encouter many cultural shocks. When one travels in a completely different world, he will feel like a fish out of water. He may misunderstand what others said, and can’t communicate well with others.Also,he can’t adapt to the diets in the completely different world. All in all, a time traveler can't adapt to the habits and customs very quickly.Panel discussion: cultural shock or feeling of going back home?1. Tom went to Japan back in the 70’s, yet felt like being home, with no experiences of cultural shocks. Does Tom explain why? What do you think may be an explanation for this?Answer: No,Tom gave no explicit reasons about this .In my opinion, Tom was familiar with the culture of Japan, so he could adapt to it very quickly.2. What does Peter think is a shame for tourists? Why?Answer: It’s a shame that so many Americans go abroad to enjoy exotic vacations, because they stay in the resort and don’t really go out and venture out to experience the customs and traditions of the people who live there. In his opinion, the world is so big that we can learn so much about it. However, too many people just go there and lie by the swimming pool or whatever.3. What would you anticipate being in a different culture? Would it be a smooth transition or a difficult one? Does knowing the local language help? Would it make any difference if you were a visitor or someone intending for a much longer stay? What do you think could help to make the transition easier? (at least 200 words)Answer:When in a different culture, of course, we all except that the habits and customs are familiar to us so that we can adapt to it quickly. However, as far as I’m concerned, it would turn out to be a difficult transition. At the beginning, you may feel like a fish out of water and make every possible mistake. It’s important to learn some local dialect to help you communicate with the residents more smoothly. What’s more, it must be kept firmly in mind not to talk about the taboo subjects. Only in this way can you gradually adapt to the new culture.If you intend for a much longer stay, it should be a good choice to learn about the local culture ahead of schedule. For example, you must be aware of the sensitive topics in the local culture. However, if you are just a visitor, you can surf the internet to get some useful information for your journey, such as the rout and the weather. That’s enough!It couldn’t be better to make friends with some natives. It may make the transition easier because they can give you some practical proposals. With their help, you may feel like just being at home.。

Unit 6 Traveling and Sightseeing Thinking AheadStudents are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below:1. Do you like traveling? Where have you been before?Yes, I do. I have been to quite a lot of places, Mountain Tai, the Great Wall, Korea and Singapore, among which, Singapore impresses me the most for its combination of both a prosperous society and city of natural beauty. Believe me: you can never forget this country once you take a deep breath of fresh air there.2. How to make a reservation in the hotel?Firstly, you should make it clear when you want to check in, how long you are supposed to stay there. Then, you should tell what kind of room and how many rooms you want. The last but not the least is that, you must leave your name and maybe your contact number, which will surely help you a lot afterwards.3. What should you pay attention to when at table abroad?mind your manners at table;pay attention to your words and gestures;handle your knives and forks correctly;never talk with your mouth full;never make sounds when you’re eating or drinking something.Part I Video TimeIn this part, students will have 2 tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1,students will watch a video clip from The Beach and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video.TranscriptFirst Visit to BangkokMy name is Richard.So what else do you need to know?Stuff about my family or where I’m from?None of that matters.Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose.Looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting, and yes, I admit, something more dangerous.So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane, three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touched down in Bangkok.“Hey, you! How about you? You want to go to the waterfall? Come on! Floating market! 1,500! Cheap for you! Come on. Hey!”“Hey, you need somewhere to stay?”“No. I’ll be fine. I’ll find my own place. Thanks.”“What do you want, man?”…And this is it—Bangkok, good time city, gateway to Southeast Asia.Where dollars and Deutschmarks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars.“Good time. Boy? Girl? No problem.”…This is where the hungry come to feed.“You want to drink snake blood?”“Wait a minute. Did you say snake blood?”“Oh, yeah.”“No, thanks.”“What is wrong with snake blood?”“I just don’t like the idea.”“Or maybe you’re scared? Afraid of something new?”“No. I just don’t like the idea, that’s all.”“Ha ha! Like every tourist. You want it all be safe, just like America.”So never refuse an invitation.Never resist the unfamiliar.Never fail to be polite.“Gentlemen, that was excellent.”Never outstay your welcome.Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it.(From /u/40/114596200.pdf) Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Watching for Global UnderstandingStudents are asked to watch the video clip and answer the following questions.1) What did Richard do in the plane?He watched three dumb movies, had two plastic meals, and drank six bottles of beer.2) What suggestions did Richard give us?Never refuse an invitation.Never resist the unfamiliar.Never fail to be polite.Never outstay your welcome.Exercise 2 Watching for Specific InformationStudents are asked to watch the clip and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1) None of that matters.2) Good time city.3) This is where the hungry come to feed.4) Gentlemen, that was excellent.5) And if it hurts, it’s probably worth it.Task 2In task 2,students will watch a video clip about the sight spot—Sierra Madre and then do the exercises as required. Before watching, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the video.TranscriptSierra Madre TourismThe sheer beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is only one reason why many visitors come a long way to enjoy some quiet time in this part of the country known as the Copper Canyon.“Its natural beauty and panorama that it offers is unbelievable. If you just look at the beauty that you see here. It’s, it’s aw e-inspiring.”The views of the beautiful canyons are spectacular. A train ride through dozens of tunnels adds to the allure of the mountains. And the opportun ity to interact with the region’s Tarahumara Ind ians is another reason this isn’t an average mountain destination.“You have the Tarahumara Indians, inhabit in these mountains. And the Tarahumara Indians is one of the most unique native Americans that you still can see in its original state or the, in the original habits that they have kept for thousands of years.”But is this entire natural environment at risk as a result of an increase in tourism itself? Not according to an areal businessman, who believes in playing by the rules of nature for the benefit of the region.“It’s a, it’s a very complex thing, but we believe that is (the) only way to go. And for future generations, we have to start now by preserving what we have and letting older generations alsoenjoy what we’re doing right now. So, it’s a job and it’s a work that we’re gonna do forever.”Tourism officials say there is no reaso n to worry. They say there aren’t enough visitors in the Copper Canyon region to prompt cause for concern. But they are preparing for the future by researching and developing conservation plans.“Of course, we want to develop the area but we’re taking care of nature. It’s very important for us to protect nature. The Copper Canyon is very very important for tourism in the state of Chihuahua.”“We want to be more cautious. We created an organization called Sierra Madre Explorer that is dedicated, you know, to keep the, the, perhaps, to keep the destination as untouchable as we can. And so that’s a big effort we’re doing because we see a big responsibility to keep it very very clean and very eco-safe.”Regardless of the reason, mountain lovers are pleased that at least for now the precious landscape won’t be touched by the hand of economic progress.(From /index.php?showtopic=130873) Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Making a Sound JudgmentStudents are asked to watch the video and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).T 1) The beauty of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains is one reason why visitors come to enjoy this part of the country.F 2) Tourism officials want to develop the area without taking care of nature.T 3) They have already created an organization to protect the holiday destination.F 4) Nowadays the landscape is touched by the hand of economic progress.Exercise 2 Essay WritingIn the video we can obviously feel that people are worrying about whether tourism will do harm to the natural environment. In other words, they are concerning about the ecological crisis. Students are asked to write a composition entitled The Ecological Crisis on the Booming Tourism to express their opinions on this topic. They should write at least 200 words.SampleThe Ecological Crisis on the Booming TourismTraveling is among many people’s favorite recreations, which enables us not only to broaden our horizons, but also to shape our mind and spirits. However, just like a coin has two sides, tourism may bring about a serious problem—ecological crisis. The environment has been suffering with the boom of tourism. In order to attract tourists, many places have been turned intoresorts. Forests are gone, prairies are destroyed, rivers and lakes are polluted, and wild animals are dying out.These horrible scenes should give rise to our great attentions. We must protect our eco-environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery. In order to keep a balance between tourism and ecology, the concept of eco-tourism, which intends to bring people closer to nature with as little disturbance as possible, should be advocated. Funding environmental programs and limiting excessive exploitation of natural resources should be done by all levels of governments. What we need to do is simple: do not litter; strictly observe regulations at resorts, and use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible, only by which, can we hope to build a harmonious environment for traveling. At last, we should keep in mind that when we travel we should take away nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints.Part II Listening ActivitiesIn this part, students will have 3 listening tasks to accomplish.Task 1In task 1, students will listen to a dialogue about taking a reservation over the phone and then do the exercises as required.TranscriptTaking a Reservation over the PhoneLeo: Plaza Hotel, good morning. Leo speaking.Mona:Ah yes, I’d like to book two rooms for myself and my father. Could you tell me the cost ofa single room per night?Leo: Certainly. A single room is 120 dollars American, per night.Mona: Fine.Leo: And when would you like the rooms?Mona: From the 25th to the 28th of September.Leo: Arriving on the 25th of September and leaving on the 28th?

I recommend it.6) I will also bring your sourdough bread in just a moment.Additional ListeningIn this section, students will listen to a passage about the longest suspension bridge in the world and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, they are supposed to read the words, expressions and cultural notes related to the passage.TranscriptThe Longest Suspension Bridge in the WorldVerrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbor in 1524 and named it Angou lême. He described it as “a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the mids t of which flowed a great river”. Though V errazano is by no means considered to be a greatest explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, for on November 21st, 1964, the longest suspension bridge in the world was named after him.The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of 4,260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer. Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and e legant, fulfilling its designer’s dream to c reate “an enormous obje ct drawn as faintly as possible”.(From /Article/1321.shtml)Key to ExercisesExercise 1 Listening ComprehensionStudents are asked to listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.1) D2) A3) BExercise 2 Listening for DetailsStudents are asked to listen to the passage again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.1)Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbor in 1524 andnamed it Angoulême（安古拉姆）.2) The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea.3) Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet.4) Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire.Part III Oral PracticeIn this part, students will have 3 tasks to accomplish.Task 1 Group DiscussionStudents are asked to work in groups and tell each other three places where they would make their dream trips if they had the time and money. They should explain their reasons for their choice.SampleIf I had money and time, I would first go to Greece, next to Paris and then to Austria. I choose Greece as the first because ancient Greek civilization impresses me the most and I am looking forward to a visit to the Parthenon, which is the most important and characteristic monument of Greek civilization.My second choice is Paris which is a romantic city and the paradise for artists. Paris, the “City of Lights”, is best known for its world-renowned beauty and charm. The Louvre which is located on the right bank of the Seine River is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. Other places like the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles are all attractive places of interest.I choose Austria, the land of music, out of my love for classical music. Austria is the hometown of many world-famous classical musicians such as the Strauss family, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Franz Schubert whose music I have been enjoying for years.Hopefully, my dream will be fulfilled one day. As you can see, all these places are located in Europe and thus it won’t cost too much to visit and take too long before I can save enough money to cover the expenses.Task 2 Pair WorkIn partⅡtask 2, students have heard a dialogue about dining a broad. Imagine it’s the lunch time in a coffee shop. Students are asked to work in pairs and make a short dialogue between a customer and a waiter/waitress.Sample for the DialogueWaitress: Hello, may I take your order?Customer: Yes, I would like the tomato and cucumber salad, garlic bread, spaghetti and meatballs and iced tea with lemon please.Waitress: Do you want to upgrade that to a super value meal?Customer: No, thanks, but what is a special meal?Waitress: That is a set meal with little fat for people on a diet. Would you like one? Customer: No, thanks, this is enough.Waitress: Is this for here or to go?Customer: I eat in, oh, and can I get some apple pies?Waitress: Sorry, the pie machine is out of work. Your total is 6 bucks.Task 3 Role PlayStudents are asked to find two partners to play the roles of a local guide, Wang and two tourists, Jack and Mike. Jack and Mike have never been to the Great Wall before and are curious about almost everything. Wang introduces the Great Wall to them, and tries his/her best to answer their questions.Sample for the DialogueWang: We’re approaching Badaling and you will see the Great Wall in a short while.Jack: Wonderful! We’ve been waiting for it so long.Mike: W hat’s the length of the Great Wall?Wang: The Great Wall meanders from east to west for about 6,000 kilometers or 12,000 li. That’s why we call it in Chinese “Wan Li Chang Cheng”, w hich literally means “Ten Thousand Li Long Wall”.Jack: And it was built more than 2,000 years ago?Wang: Yes, construction of the Wall first began during the Warring States period about 2,500 years ago. Some kingdoms built huge walls hoping to protect their territories. When Qin Shihuang or the First Emperor unified China in 221BC, he decided to have the various sections of the walls linked up and also extended. From that we got the Great Wall.Jack: And that’s what we’re going to see, right?Wang: No, not really. The Qin Great Wall hasn’t got much left today. In the subsequent dynasties, the Great Wall was rebuilt many times. The last massive rebuilding of the Great wall was in Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall we shall see at Badaling was rebuilt then. Oh, here we are.Please remember the number of our bus. Should you go astray from the group as I knowsome younger members of our group would like to have a quick climb to the top, please re member to come here before 11 o’clock.Jack: What are those towers on the wall spaced at regular distances from one another?Wang: They are beacon fire towers. In ancient times, if attacked by enemies the guards would set off smoke in the day-time and bonfire at night to alarm troops stationed along the wall. Jack: I see Bob and Ma rk are already on the wall. Let’s quicken our steps.Wang: Please watch your step. It’s very steep here and the surface is a little slippery.Jack: I now understand why you told us to wear no high heeled shoes.Wang: Shall I give you a hand?Mike: No, no. I’m doing fine with the help of the banisters.Jack: Hold on. A few more steps will bring us to the top.Wang: Now, this is the furthest point we can go. Beyond here, the wall has not been restored yet.Why don’t we sit down and rest for a while before we turn back?Mike: This is such a lovely place! Green mountains roll over one another. Lush trees dot the slopes. A gentle breeze caresses us and the Great Wall winds its way like a giant serpent. Wang: I also want to tell you a well-known legend. In 221 B.C., in ShanXi Province there was a poor scholar. One day the soldiers came to his village and seized every man in sight, but the scholar managed to escape by hiding himself in a garden. He was discovered by a beautiful young girl named Meng Jiangnu who helped him. Soon they fell in love. But on their wedding d ay he was seized by the emperor’s soldiers and taken to the Great Wall to work.For months and months, Meng Jiangnu waited for her husband to return but there was no news of him. Finally she decided to go to the Great Wall to look for him. After a long and hard journey, she arrived at the beginning of the wall, at Shanhaiguan by the sea. After searching for him for many weeks, she finally gave up her hope. In great despair she knelt by the wall and wept for three days and three nights. The wall, weakened by her tears, collapsed around here and there, where great stones had once been, lay the dead body of her husband.Meng Jiangnu was heart-broken. She threw herself into the sea and drowned. If you get the chance to go to Shanhaiguan yo u’ll see a temple dedicated to her memory over-looking the sea.Jack: Well, Wang, you are not only knowledgeable about history, but also have the gift of the gab!(From /yingyu/55/n-90755.html) Time for FunOne-breath EnglishStudents will listen to the following recording and repeat the sentences after the tape.Step 1Use one breath to imitate the speakers’ pronunciation and intonation. Try to control your speed and make sure you have the right and clear pronunciation and intonation.Step 2Articulate it as clearly and quickly as possible.。

研究生英语综合教程UNIT6课文及翻译(含汉译英英译汉)
UNIT6What does it feel like to help dying patients through their final days? Experience it through the eyes of hospice nurse Jill Campbell, who does her job with grace, compassion, and gratitude.1.Outside, it's noisy on this busy block of row houses in Baltimore. But inside one tidy living room, all is quiet except for the sound of a woman's raspy breathing. The patient is huddled in an easy chair under a handmade pink-and-blue afghan, a knit cap on her head and booties on her feet. She has trouble staying warm these days. Her cancer has returned with a vengeance and she has only a few weeks to life.Hospice nurse Jill Campbell kneels down beside her patient, listens to her breathing, and then checks her blood pressure. Campbell has already hauled in oxygen tanks, showed family members how to work them, organized the medicine, and assessed how her patient has been eating and sleeping.2.But now is a moment to connect one-on-one. Campbell wraps her hands around the woman’s hands and rubs them together to warm them. She looks into her face. “are you feeling a little better?” she asks softly.3.Getting to know her patients and helping them through the toughest time of their lives is what Campbell, 43, appreciates most about being a hospice nurse. “I don’t know of another position where you can do more for people,” she says.4.Her patients have all been told that they have six months or less to live. Rather than continue with often-difficult or painful treatments that probably won’t extend their lives, they have decided to stop trying for a cure. Instead, with the help of hospice care, they’ll focus on comfort and on living whatever they have left of their lives to the fullest ---usually in their own home.5.Being able to die at home is a major part of the appeal of hospice, but patients and family members may not see it that way at first. “A lot of people still view hospice as giving up and letting the disease in,” says Campbell. That’s why the decision to call in hospice care can be an incredibly difficult one for a family to make. Once they do, though, most patients and their families soon understand the value of having a team of dedicated professionals---including social workers, health aides, chaplains, and nurses---work together to provide not only physical but also emotional and spiritual support. 帮助即将离世的患者度过最后的时光会是怎样的感受呢？让我们借助吉尔·坎贝尔的所见经历这一切吧。

Most people like alcohol all over the world. Drinking alcohol is a social activity for people. But alcohol can be dangerous if people drink too much. A little alcohol is good for health and mind, but too much alcohol can cause damage to our minds and bodies. I learned that people should drink a glass of water for every drink of alcohol they have. This will help prevent dehydration, and perhaps stop a hang-over. I also learned that if someone's blood alcohol concentration goes over the 4.5 point, he or she might stop breathing and die. I think alcohol is a good drink because usually everyone feels good, and they can enjoy talking. However, people must take responsibility for their actions and drink responsibly.Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences with the information you hear.1.

Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms o f making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t getto an in terview or at least people won’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Um, do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, er holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course you have to ask yourself if they’re like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job where in, in a situation where a job depends on, on them making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making, er, good, making contact with other colleagues, making, having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of, of um things that we might talk about inan interview of course are what, er what the person expects to get from a new job in a new country, and that I think is important because it shows the expectations that the person has — what they want from their job. Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. )Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as “conscientious”. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I’m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could ‘adapt quickly to change’. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I’m afraid I bec ame unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey:I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that we’re offering.Jane: Yes, that’s right.(Michael James is being interviewed now by the same two people. )Mrs. Grey: ...and according to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you ‘tend to be a little impatient at times’.Michael:Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow!Mr. Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I’d like to know is ...Mr. Toms:Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wanted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You’rea keen footballer, I understand.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael:Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them —and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman —I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert. And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。

Unit Six Globalization*************Part one Three Eras of Globalization************* Listening Script oneBasically what I am arguing there is that, there’ve been 3 great eras of globalization, I would argue. The first era, try to call globalization 1.0, lasted from while, I would say, 1492 until the early 1800s. Say, 1820 was the beginning of global arbitrage. The first era of globalization 1.0 really shrank the world from a size large to a size medium. That era of globalization was really spearheaded by countries globalizing. You went global through your country. Whether it’s Spain exploring the new world, Portugal East Asia, Britain colonizing India, it was countries going global for reasons of imperialism, power, natural resources. But the dynamic agent of globalization in that era was really the country. The second era of globalization, globalization 2.0, I would argue, was from early 1800s until the year 2000. It just ended. And that era of globalization shrank the world from size medium to size small. And that era of globalization, I would argue, was spearheaded by companies globalizing, multinationals globalizing for markets and for labor. And in that era of globalization, you went global through your company. The company was the dynamic agent of that era of globalization. What I am trying to argue in this book is while you were sleeping, we enter globalization 3.0, certainly while I was sleeping. It is shrinking the world from size small to size tiny and flattening the global economic playing field at the same time. Only what’s really new, unique and different about this era is that this era of globalization is not built around countries globalizing, and it’s not built around companies globalizing. What is new and unique about this era is the degree to which it is and will continue to be built around individuals globalizing, individuals and small groups. What is the new and unique thing about this era is the degree to which individuals and small groups can globalize themselves and increasingly must think of themselves globally and locate themselves globally. And pay attention, this era of globalization, I would argue, unlike globalization 1.0 and 2.0, is not gonna be built exclusively around a group of white western individuals who dominated the first 2 eras of globalization. It’s gonna be built around individuals and small groups of every color of the rainbow who will be able to plug and play. Listening Script twoScott London: The case, as it’s usually presented, is that the globalized economy is a good thing that will secure jobs, allow us to remain competitive, and promote democracy abroad.Isn’t there some truth to that?Jerry Mander: The people who are making that case are the people who are promoting globalization — corporations and banks and governments. They are saying that globalization can solve the world’s problems, that it’s going to give people something to eat and so on. They are redesigning an economy that they say works. But it doesn’t work.We’ve had globalization for quite a while, it’s just being accelerated right now. Wherever the rules of free trade and economic globalization are followed, you have economic and ecological disasters immediately thereafter. You’ve got the complete destruction of small, traditional farming in Africa and elsewhere; you’ve got the complete devastation of nature all around the world; you’ve got people shoved off their lands to make Way for giant damsand agri-business and so on, who then become part of the millions and millions of people roaming the land and going into cities looking for impossible-to-find jobs, all in competition with each other, and violent and angry. And then people are angry with them, because who needs more people around? So you’ve set into motion a global disarray and nonfunctionalism that would not have been achieved — certainly not at the same level and with the same speed — without this emphasis on global development.However poorly people lived in terms of material wealth in traditional societies, there was much that they retained. They retained a fair amount of local control. They retained some degree of traditional culture. Even in societies that had already been impacted, like India, you had a lot of cultural identity and a history of relationships to scale that were really different. It was an economy of small-scale institutions. That has been wiped out by economic globalization with the invasion of franchises and giant institutions that have taken over the land.London: I remember a full-page ad in the New York Times. A long list of Nobel laureates in economics and the various sciences expressed their support for the free-trade agreement.How is it that so many “experts” could speak out in favor of something that has such damaging effects?Mander: Look, the roots of globalization are in the concepts that are underneath it. The concepts of economic globalization are the absolute need for economic growth and the viability of the free market. Economic globalization is an acceleration of both of those conceptual frameworks. Those frameworks are not questioned in this society. In every newspaper report about the economy, in every presidential campaign, and in a high percentage of congressional speeches, people insist on the need for more economic growth.This idea is at the root of our classical economics. The fact that so-called experts, like five former presidents and five former secretaries of state, all got together in a press conference and said that free trade is a good thing was already known. They were the ones who helped create it. What was the big news about that? The fact that big economists and big corporations all think the global economy is a good thing is not news. Of course they think so, they are the ones who have been running it all along.***************Part Two Globalization and China************** Listening Script oneMr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to be here at this critical point in China’s remarkable development. Your topic, globalization and its far-reaching impacts, could not be more timely. It tops the international agenda in policymaking circles, it absorbs academics and scholars, it generates much interest in the media, and it fascinates people around the world as they debate the impact on their own lives.For China, this topic is anything but theoretical. It could not be more real. In the coming months and years, China must make decisions that will determine how well it integrates further into the global system. There is no longer a question of whether to integrate, but only of how best to do so.Globalization offers enormous benefits, in the form of higher productivity and living standards. But it also poses daunting challenges — navigating capital markets and ensuring that the benefits of the globalized economy are shared by all. In the end, China, like all nations, mustfind its own way, true to its culture and institutions. The IMF, along with the rest of the UN family, can help by providing a safer environment to do so. As UN Secretary General Kofi Annan recently said: “It is our job to ensure globalization provides benefits, not just for some, but for all; that peace and security hold, not only for a few, but for the many; that opportunities exist, not merely for the privileged, but for every human being everywhere.”China’s decision to further open up its economy should help to make domestic industry more efficient, spur the development of the legal and regulatory framework necessary for a market economy, and increase foreign direct investment. But it will also give rise to major short-term dislocations in the transition--possibly including higher unemployment and greater income disparities. It will certainly increase competitive pressures in a number of sectors (agriculture, automobiles, and certain capital-intensive producers, such as in telecommunications), all of which should work in the right direction for the longer term.For these reasons, it is essential that China continue to prepare its domestic enterprises and banking system for global competition. This will entail establishing a government social security system, strengthening the banking system, and further liberalizing interest rates. As the effects of increased competition feed through into efficiency and productivity gains, reversing the declines witnessed in recent years, the benefits will be seen in higher living standards for China’s people.Listening Script twoAnd I’m going to give you a very quick overview of some of the things that I’ve written in my new book called Integrating China into the Global Economy. The first question I try to re-answer in the book is “why did they bother?” The first diagram I think poses the question. They increased their share in the world trade more rapidly than the other countries in post WWII period. They’ve grown from not being a trader basically to the seventh largest trading country in the world. And all these outside the WTO and not subjected to any of the disciplines and the constraints that the WTO system imposes. So the second question I try to answer is “What was the motivation for making the commitments they did in WTO accession package. And basically my argument here is a familiar one. I think that the motivation is at least to a considerable degree internal, that they wanna to use WTO to push ahead their own domestic reforms to lock in a number of market opening moves that would introduce more competition in critical sectors on a very predictable and irrevocable, hopefully irrevocable schedule and I think, you know, the problems they still have are reflected in some of the structural challenges. The slowing growth was apparent through much of the 90s and apparently slower since the date for the year 2001 when they break down quarter by quarter in the largest stimulus programs they’ve been engaged in last three years trying to maintain the growth rate. But I was saying more than that... I would say the leadership is really committed to globalization. They see the (globalization as an inevitable trend. In the questionnaires, you know, “how do we position China to take the best advantage of it.” And I think we see there are a lot of commitments. And they can gain even more than what they have in the first diagram.************Part Three Globalization and Inequality************ Listening Script oneMy task is to talk about globalization and inequality in developing countries, withemphasis on Latin America. I have a simple point to make: globalization puts developing countries at risk of increasing income inequality. The increase in inequality in the United States over the last 25 years (during which the income of the poorest 20 percent of households has fallen in real terms by about 15 percent) has been blamed, rightly or wrongly, on changes in trade, technology and migration patterns associated with increasing economic integration with other countries. For developing countries, any risk of increasing inequality associated with active participation in the global economy is even greater, if only because of the greater inherent institutional weaknesses associated with being poor. Latin America has a special disadvantage: its historical legacy of already high inequality. Inequality that is already high complicates the task of effective conflict management, which Dani Rodrik has just reminded us is a critical input to managing open economies. In the past, for example, high inequality combined with the politics of redistribution led to periodic bouts of populism in Latin America—ineffective and counterproductive efforts to manage the conflicts provoked by the dangerous combination of high inequality and hard times.Let me start with two prefatory remarks. First, globalization — that is the trend of increasing integration of economies in terms not only of goods and services, but of ideas, information and technology — has tremendous potential benefits for developing countries. Nothing I say should suggest otherwise. The challenge is to realize the potential benefits without undertaking huge offsetting costs. Second, not all inequality is a bad thing. Some inequality represents the healthy outcome of differences across individuals in ambition, motivation and willingness to work. This constructive inequality provides incentives for mobility and rewards high productivity. Some would say constructive inequality is the hallmark of the equal opportunity society the U.S. symbolizes. Increases in this constructive inequality may simply reflect faster growth in income for the rich than the poor — but with all sharing in some growth. But of course it can also be true that inequality is destructive, when for example it reflects deep and persistent differences across individuals or groups in access to the assets that generate income — including not only land (which is extremely unequally distributed in Latin America) but, most important in today’s global information age, the asset of education. Obviously this destructive inequality undermines economic growth and efficiency, by reducing the incentives for individuals to work, to save, to innovate and to invest. And it often results in the perception if not the reality of injustice and unfairness — with the political risk in the short term of a backlash against the market reforms and market institutions that in the long term are the critical ingredients of shared and sustainable growth.I have three parts to my remarks: first, on inequality and market reforms; second, on inequality and the recent financial crisis; third, on what to do, or more grandly on policy implications.Listening Script twoThe question is, given the difficulties and problems that already stand particularly in developing world, has the way globalization being managed increased inequality and poverty? And I believe quite strongly that in some part of the world, not all, in some parts of the world, it has. So I began the discussion talking about how globalization had benefited East Asia and how East Asian countries had managed to grow very rapidly on the basis of globalization, but how they in the late 80s and early 90s, they were forced to have, for instance, capital market globalization and that exposed them to enormous amount of risk and then they had the crisis.That crisis increased poverty enormously, which was really quite striking that the progress, for instance, Indonesia had made in about 30 years reducing poverty, was undone in the space of about two years. So you can do, you know, it’s easier, general rule is, it’s easier to create poverty than to reduce it. And some of our institutions have done a fantastic job. Now they, there're two, I guess my time is running out. OK. There’re two examples that I can talk, there’re more but let me just give you two examples. The first is that some of the rules I referred to earlier expose countries to additional risks. Additional risk means higher volatility. And it’s the poor that disproportionally bear the cost of that higher volatility. The second point is that there’ve been an asymmetry, by the way, just to abide by George’s point. He pointed out academics do tend to talk longer and the natural unit of time is 15 minutes for us. So that, whereas George is used to making short presentations (to) people whose time was very valuable. That’s a difference between getting pay for talking vs. trying to get somebody to do what you want. So, anyway, so the second point is that the asymmetries in globalization have some inequality generating consequences. The asymmetries in trade and globalization have, we call, in terms of trade of facts, the main fact of which was that all we want was the champion of a great success. Whereas the poorest region in the world, the sub-Saharan Africa saw its income decline by 2%. It wasn’t just the United States got the lion’s share of the gains that you might have thought. Those gains were partly at the expense of the poorest region in the world. Similarly capital market globalization means that capital can go in and out very easily, as George pointed out. That means the capital gives the right to who’s applicable domestically. Because it’s more difficult to get capital. It’s asymmetry in domestically, in the rules of games, how you abide by the rules of governance, as a result of that again were to enhance inequality. In short, I think there’re enormous numbers of problems. I think globalization has enormous potential for reducing poverty as we’ve seen that it has. But the way that it has been managed has not done that. And the way that we address those problems is, I think, is to try to address the gap that has occurred between the way globalization has occurred at economic level and political globalization to make globalization more democratic and then more responsive.。
