Peoplehave healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, the Okinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world.Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and townbirth records from 1879. They didn ’ t expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy peopleliving in Okinawa. The United States, for example, has 10 centenarians per 100,1000 people. In Okinawa there are 34 centenarians per 100,100 people!What is the Okinawans ’ secret? First, they eat a healthy diet. They eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. They also eat fish often and drink a lot of waterand green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthyhabits as well. They don’ dot hard exercise such as weightlifting or jogging--- instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking. Researcherssay that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging.They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercises. They also enjoy massage.Unit 4Listening 2 What’s your personal style?1.Interviewer (Int): Hi, what your name?’sGio: Gio.Int: Hi, Gio, Where are you from?G: Milan, Italy.I:Welcome to New York, them!G:Thank you.I:Where are your clothes from?G:My brother.

People fell to the ground, and all thetrees for 2000 square kilometers were knocked down. People heard theexplosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are stilltrying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around inspace and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some ofthem weigh as much as 100, 00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it wouldcause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice, and rock with long tails.They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke near’ s Comet wasEarth in 1908, and it ’s possible that a part of it broke off and hit the earth.3.An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into theground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4.An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so theyaimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5.A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistakeduring an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried tobuild a “supergun ”that usedtricityelec.Maybe it was a test of his gunand it didn ’ t work correctly.Listening 5 The Marfa mystery lightsQ.

No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that.Q. Can you describe them?A. That ’ s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear.Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?A. No. I don ’ tman.A first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago.’t The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didnhave cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A.There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights werestars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes thelights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning islightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ ghost heylightsthink ghosts”.T do it.That ’ s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don ’ t think so Q. What do the experts say?A. They can ’ t figure it out. Some engineers even came fromJapan onetime. They studied the lights, but couldn ’ t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren ’ t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.Unit 6Listening 1Conversation 1Woman: Morning, Simon.

Ijumped into the water, and I began to swam with the fish. The thing is, Ican ’ t swim. But in the dream, I could. It was pretty cool.Listening 2I had an amazing dream last night. I was standing outside of an strangebig house. The house was painted pink, a very rare color for a house. It had alot of big windows, either round or rectangular. The house had large squarepillars and twisted columns. I was thinking there must be a big living room,several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house. I waswondering whose house this was when I suddenlyheard a voice from somewhere: “ Mylord, welcome home. ”Wow, this wasmy dream house.I went inside and walked into my living room. It was spacious. There weresofas, a table, a big-screen TV, and a stereo system. It was prettycool. All my best friends were there, too. But somehow they didn ’didn ’smile,t and didn ’event move. And then suddenly they all disappeared. I was scared. What a terrible dream.I then went to the kitchen. It was also spacious. There were all kinds ofkitchen equipment, including a gas stove, a refrigerator, and an oven. Therealso many electric appliances, such as a microwave oven, an electric mixer, and a food processor. I liked the food processor the most,which made life much easier. There was also a dining table in the middle of the room. The whole family was sitting around the table, waiting for themeal to be served. But the fridge was empty, and the gas stove didn work. And there was no electricity at all for the microwave oven and the the food processor. The hungry kids started to cry. I was in despair. And then suddenly I woke up.Listening 3Sleep and dreamsScientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are five stages, or parts, of sleep. Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep. If there is a noise or a bright light, you wake up very easily. In stage 2, your brain waves are very slow. In stage 3 and 4, you are in deep sleep.It ’verys difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during these stages. Stage 5 is when you dream. Your eyes move a lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage of sleep is very important for your memory. After stage 5, you wake up a little, and then stage 1 starts again. We go through the five stages of sleep four or five times every night, so we have many dreams in one night.How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep 15 to 16 hours every day. Children and teenagers need 9 or10 hours of sleep, but older people only need 6 to 8 hours. If you sleep foronly four hours one night, you may just feel tired the next day. But manynights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’get enoughsleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important forlearning. It ’ s one reason why students should go to bed early.Listening 4The meaning of dreamsFor centuries, people have asked: why do we dream? What do our dreams mean? Today, science doesn ’ t have definite answers to these questions, but wedo know some things about dreams. First, we all dream, often 4 to5 times a night. Second, we don ’ t usually remember most ofs.our dream And finally, when we dream, our brains are very active.Thousands of years ago, people began to study dreams. In many cultures,people believed dreams were messagesfrom spirits or gods. Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a new idea: Dreams come from a person ’ s mind. Doctors studied dreams to help sick or worried people.I n the past, some cultures used dreams to predict the future. They thought dreams could help a person choose a husband or wife, guess ababy ’ s birthday, or starts a business. INomes places, this practice is still common.Today, scientists think dreams are about our thoughts and feelings. Our minds send us messages about our lives. Unfortunately, many messages are often strange or confusing. People wake up and think: What did that dream mean?So, how can you understand the messages in your dreams? Think about the events in the dream. What do they say about your life ? For example, one common dream is about flying. Sometimes this dream means you feel free or want freedom. Other times it means you feel afraid. What do your dreams tell you about your life?。

This growing need for energy causes us to burn more and more fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels such as coal puts carbon into the air. Carbon dioxide, or CO2, and other gases reduce the amount of heat that goes out into space. When less heat goes out into space, it means that more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere. When more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere, the average temperature increases, making it warmer.To be continued >>>Listening 1A significantly higher average temperature leads to climate change and changes to the weather. Climate change can have a negative impact on people’s lives. For example, climate change can make it difficult to grow food in some places. People are starting to conserve energy by making changes that cause them to use less fuel. For example, people are buying smaller cars. Smaller cars are more efficient because they use less gas and oil.Listening 2Yoho National Park, British Columbia, CanadaListening 2A | Read the statements.

There are many small andpractical ways you can conserve energy and help protect theenvironment. Here are some helpful tips.Cut back on driving by taking public transportation or walkingmore often. You will save a lot of gas if you drive to work two orthree days a week instead of five! Shop at local stores close toyour home.To be continued >>>Listening 2You will drive less, so you can spend less money on gas and more money on food. Turn off lights and electronics whenyou aren’t using them so you don’t waste electricity. Replace your old appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers with new, efficient models. Old appliances consume more energy than new ones. Keep track of the electricity and gas you use and how you use it. Write down the different activities you do that use gas or electricity and how often you do them in an energy journal.To be continued >>>Listening 2Use your energy journal to help you set a lower target for your energy use each month. For example, if your energy bill is $100 one month, try lowering your bill to $80, or by 20 percent the next month. Try to reduce the amount of energy you use by making gradual changes to your lifestyle. You will see that making small changes each month can have a big impact on the amount of energy you use—and help protect our beautiful planet!Listening 3 Dictation.Listen to some ideas about energy saving and write down what you hear.

Most cattle were in Texas, but the railroadwas more than 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) away. Cowboysmoved the cattle there in big cattle drives. Experts estimate that in a cattle drive, only 10 cowboys could take more than 3,000 cattle to a railroad town. Cowboys typically worked for about four months, and received all their pay at the end. Then they spent it very quickly in the town. The average cowboy was only 24 years old. Working alone with their cattle, cowboys developed some very interesting customs. For example, at night, some cowboys would sing to the cattle to keep them quiet. Some traditional American songs came from these singing cowboys.

Why have the PlayPump locations become a center of social activity?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The PlayPump locations have become a center of social activity because children can play there and adults can gather while they collect the water.Listening 2In rural Africa, clean water is a luxury. Many small villages in Africa don’t have access to clean water. Most people don’t have plumbing in their homes. Instead, they often must walk longdistances to wells and haul heavy containers of water back.Traditionally, people must walk eight kilometers to get water, and carry very heavy containers that weigh about 40 pounds (18 kilograms).A new invention called the PlayPump is changing life in manyvillages. It uses a children’s toy called a merry-go-round toprovide clean water. As the merrygo-round spins, it pumps cleanwater up from deep underground and stores it in a huge tank.People are welcome to come and help themselves to the water.To be continued >>>Listening 2Patricia Molope, 17, explains that before her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to afar-off well. “Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy, and we wouldhave to go without bathing in order to save our water. It was too far to walk there. But now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better.”The exhausting chore of carrying water traditionally falls to womenand girls. Hauling water for miles—and hours—each day is such abig job, it sometimes prevents girls from being able to attend school. Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy—and even boys join in. The pumps have become a center of social activity where kids and adults gather to visit while collecting water.。

We did a bunch of tourist stuff---sightseeing, shopping and food. Um, we went to see the Forbidden City that is the palace museum. It is really splendid. It was the grand and deluxe halls that caught our eyes. And, I also enjoyed the beauty of the Great Wall. It seems more impressive than pictures in magazines and brochures. Then, we went over to the Hutongs and the courtyards. I supposed a peaceful and blissful life if I lived in the courtyards.B: What about restaurants and shops?A: Well, we went to Wangfujing Dajie, the most well-known modern commercial street.

By the way, what did you do on your vacation?B: I didn’t do somewhere else. I stayed at home. (A: oh, come on!)But I was fine. I cleaned the house, did the laundry, listening to light music. and, I hung out in rooms and spaces I didn’t normally use. Also, I got through that giant pile of magazines and watched some interesting movies.A: Well, sounds great.Topic2: keep fitA: Hi, doctor. I am kind of not myself these days. How do I do?B: Well, take it easy. Let me see. What are your problems this time?A: Um, I have a headache first. I’ve been having it for a week or so.B: A headache, yeah?A: Right. And I had a little bit of sore throat. A little upset stomach, too. Actually, I feel tired easily these days and sometimes it hard to concentrate.B: How many hours do you sleep every?A: Well, it’s hard to say. Maybe five hours or fewer. I’m quite busy, you know, so it is luxury for me to have enough sleep.B: Apparently, you really, really need a good break. Just now you said you can’t concentrate well, right? That is the typical symptom of your poor health condition.A: But, but……B: Do you really want to be energetic and achieve success in your career? (A: yeah, doctor.) Just take my advice, ok? There are several ways to keep health. First, you should keep a balanced diet. That is to say, you should cut down on red meet, but eat more vegetables and fruits. Second, you must give up unhealthy habits. You should sleep earlier to give your body a good rest. And never skip breakfast no matter how busy you are.

Bye, doctor.B: Bye.Topic3 what’s importantA: Well, I’m kind of eager to settle down in a big city, find a well-paid job and start a new life. But I’m not sure about that. So I was wondering what place you will choose to live in, after your graduation.B: Ok, this is a big decision to pick a place to live in and a wrong decision may make you frustrated. We all know what areas seem like the most glamorous to live, but you really need to think deeply about where suits you best.A: Considering it’s hard to find a job right now, would it be better to choose a big city?B: Yeah, some cities have tons of jobs and plenty of activities, but you can’t afford. Besides, there are some nice country areas that are fairly affordable.A: Well, I will definitely give this some consideration. By the way, what do you think are the most important factors when you choose a place?B: Um, I’ll give more importance to some features like location and safety. In my choice location for living should be in a clean, calm neighborhood, with easy access to shopping center, medical center, schools and libraries.A: I totally agree with you. It is really inconvenient when I need to go miles to visit a doctor or to get my grocery.B: Exactly. And, you need to be checking into the crime rate of that area. Just because even if you live in nice suburban, it doesn’t mean you’re in a safe place.A: That’s the case.Topic4 escape lonelinessA: I’m a little embarrassed. Um, I just moved to a new town, you know. And I noticed how quiet and anti-social I am. It is for the first time that I’m alone and feel out of place. Could you give some advice to make me feel more comfortable?B: Well, take it easy. Many people maybe feel isolated and disconnected too, in that situation. Just like you. I can give you some pointers I think. Above all, you need to be active. If you just sit back and wait for others to do it for you---it won’t happen.A: I’ll try. What else?B: You should practice your kindness. To take up voluntary work will be helpful. Also, you can join a club. If so, you may get new hobbies or find people interested in the same thing.A: Does that mean I can feel ease if I go to parties, groups or something?B: Not really. In fact, it’s common that one is surrounded by people, but still feels lonely. Remember this, there may be fast-food, but there are no fast friendships! Just try to talk to people. A: I got. Thank you.B: good luck.Topic5 a terrible tripA: So how was your trip?B: It was really, really bad.A: It was bad? But I thought you went to Beijing.B: We did, and I thought it was going to be so much fun. But it just turned out terrible! I think it maybe the worst travel experience I ever had.A: What happened?B: Well, at the beginning, the flight delayed, so we had to wait and wait, for almost 2 hours. We got no seats cause the airport was so crowed.A: What bad luck!B: Yeah. We went with a group, you know. They were so rude----they spit, threw litter around and drew on the wall.A: That’s extremely rude.B: But that was not the worst. Actually, the tour guide resigned to us was irresponsible. He just gave us a simple and incomplete introduction to the attractions. And he didn’t seem sympathetic to our need for bathroom breaks. Worse still, the hotel service was poor. We wanted noting more than a hot shower after a whole day’s walk, but we had no hot water. So we had to shower in frigid cold water for 3 days!A: Sounds terrible. But the signs in the lobby of a hotel with five stars did not mean its international rating.B: Oh, I know. And the food was all sort of mixed together. I thought we would go to some famous restaurants, but we didn’t. We even didn’t have free time. No shopping!A: I’m sorry. I hate when you don’t have some freedom on a trip.B: It cost so much money, too. In a word, it was terrible.A: Bummer.B: Yep.Topic6 looking for an apartmentA: I’ve been looking for an apartment.B: Welcome to rent master. How many rooms do you have in mind?A: I’d like to rent a 2-bedroom one.B: Where is the apartment do you prefer?A: Downtown or near a shopping mall, both fine.B: We now have some apartments for monthly rents under one thousand, or between one thousand and fifteen hundred, or above fifteen hundred. Which price are you going to afford?A: Under fifteen hundred.B: Sure, wait a minute please. Here, we find one. A 2-bedroom apartment, furnished, on the sunset street, near the shopping mall, fourteen hundred a month.A: Fine, thank you. May I take a look at the room?B: I’ll show you around. This is a great location, and there is a bus station nearby.A: That’s convenient.B: The apartment is on the fourth floor of a walk-up. No elevator.A: Sure, no problem.B: Look! It’s got hardwood floors. This is the dining room, and its right is the kitchen. As you see, it so a full-size kitchen, equipped with all the convenients. This is the larger bedroom and the next is the smaller one. The larger one has a private bath.A: Good. Are utilities included in the rent?B: Yes, they are included.A: Do I have to any rent in advance?B: No, you don’t. But there is no down payment.A: Ok.

However he could not find anything wrong with her. So he sent her to the local hospital for some tests. The hospital, of course, sent the results of the tests directly to Mrs. Black's doctor. The next morning, he telephoned her to give her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble.Mrs. Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a meeting.When she got back home two hours later, she found her husband waiting for her. He had a big basket full of packages beside him, and when he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear. I have done all your shopping for you.""Done all my shopping?" she asked in surprise. "But how did you know what I wanted?""Well, when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone," answered her husband, "so I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down."Of course, Mrs. Black had to tell him that he had bought all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat!Listening I I1 1. British English --- American English 2. sound, words and expressions, --grammar 3. confusing --- different --- understandable--- each2. British EnglishI don’t know.What do you say?jumpertrouserschipschemist’s shopring them upHave you got an extra pen?Script:American and British people both speak English, of course, but sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say all the letters in each word. For example, Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know", or they may say "Whaddya say?" instead of "What do you say?"Sound is not the only difference between British and American English. The two languages have different words and expressions for some things. For example, some words for clothing are different. Americans use the word "sweater", but the British say "jumper". Americans wear "vests" over their shirts, but British people wear "vests" under their shirts. Americans talk about "pants" or "slacks", but the British talk about "trousers". The British chips are American French fries. A British chemist is an American drugstore. In Britain, if you are going to telephone friends, you "ring them up". In America, you "give them a call".There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb "do" with the verb "have". They might say, "Do you have an extra pen?" The British often ask the question a different way. They might say, "Have you got an extra pen?"These differences can be confusing when you are learning English. But when the same language is used in different places, it is understandable that it changes in each place.Listening III11-6 T F F F F T21) small 2) pie 3) pine 4) big 5) small 6) pint 7) half 8) German9) warm 10) brown 11) English 12) a packet of 13) in the evening14) fried potatoes 15) crispsScript:Nick: Hi, Dieter. OK?Dieter: Oh, hi, Nick. Yes, I'm fine, except that I had a big problem ordering my drink.I didn't think my English was so bad!Nick: Your English is very good! What kind of problem?Dieter: Well, look at this beer I've got here—this warm, brown, English beer—it wasn't what I wanted!Nick: Why, what did you ask for?Dieter: Well, I just asked for a small beer. Then the barman asked what type of beer and said lots of names that I didn't understand—and something about a pie or a pine. I didn't understand anything!Nick: Oh, no! He probably said a pint! In English you don't ask for a big or a small beer. You ask for either a pint or a half. A pint's the big one.Dieter: So this one I've got here is a half?Nick: Yes, that's a half of bitter. Bitter's the name for that type of beer.Dieter: Ah, that's what he said—bitter! Well, it's very different from the beer we drink in Germany, I must say.Nick: Yes, I know. They call the German type of beer lager. So you have to ask for a half of lager, or a pint of lager.Dieter: OK. I understand that now. My another problem was chips. I asked for a packet of chips, and the barman said something strange—that they don't have chips in the evening, only at lunchtime. What did he mean?Nick: Yes, they have fish and chips, but I think you meant crisps. In England, chips are fried potatoes, you know, French fries. The ones you buy in a packet are crisps. Dieter: Well, in the end I didn't get anything to eat. So you see, I did everything wrong!Listening IV11-5 F T T F T2Examples: 1. MEN 2. HIS 3.

It really makes me angry! When talking about the settling of the western part of the U.S., it says, "MEN by the thousands headed west." Then on the very same page it says, "The average citizen in the United States is proud of HIS heritage."Mr. Jones: What's wrong with that? It's true. I don't understand why you are angry. Mrs. Jones: Why? Because women are left out!Mr. Jones: Everyone knows when the author says "men" or "his" in those sentences that the author means to include women.Mrs. Jones: I think you are wrong. When young people read these sentences, they simply do not form a mental image which includes females.Mr. Jones: Mm. Do you have other examples?Mrs. Jones: Yes I do! This book mentions "MAN-made improvements that have raised America's standard of living". A child will not think that females as well as males have made contributions when reading this.Mr. Jones: I still don't think it's very important.Mrs. Jones: Of course you don't! You're a man. But don't you want our daughter and other little girls to have the idea that they can be important citizens in their country, just as other women have been in the past?Mr. Jones: Well, I guess you're right.

That's why I called you.Julia: Where should we meet?Michael: Mm, how about in front of Wanghu Hotel? (Some people are talking loudly in Julia's home.) That's not far from your home.Julia: Which hotel? I didn't hear you clearly.Michael: Wanghu Hotel.Julia: OK! What time?Michael: Mm, how about 12:30, tomorrow afternoon?Julia: OK, see you then.Michael: OK. OK, see you then.(In front of Wanghu Hotel, Michael is waiting. But Julia is waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel.)Michael: (He Looks at his watch, talking to himself.) It's 1:35 now! What's wrong with her?Julia: (She Looks at everywhere, hoping to see Michael, then talking to herself.) He's always late!Michael: (He Looks at his watch again, talking to himself.) Maybe she doesn't want to see me again?Julia: (She Looks at her watch, talking to herself.) It's almost 1:45 now! Where is he? Can it be that he is waiting at Wanghu Hotel? (Julia quickly rushes to Wanghu Hotel. There she sees Michael, who stands there waiting anxiously.)(In front of Wanghu Hotel.)Michael: Hi, Julia. You are so late. How come?Julia: I'm late?! I'm not late! I was waiting somewhere else! Believe it or not, I was waiting in front of Huanhu Hotel!Michael: Oh, my goodness! I've been waiting here for one hour. How come you went to Huanhu Hotel? I told you to come to Wanghu Hotel.Julia: But it sounded like Huanhu Hotel to me! You should've pronounced it more clearly.Michael: I'm sorry, but...but it never occurred to me you would have confused the two.Julia: I wish I'd realized that sooner, so that I wouldn't have waited there for so long. You know what? When you called yesterday, my mom had a group of friends over. They were so noisy that I could hardly hear you.Michael: That's why. Then how did you figure out that it might be here—Wanghu Hotel?Julia: Did it ever occur to you that we might be waiting at two different hotels? Michael: I guess not. I thought you were delayed by traffic or something.Julia: No! You don't think. Whenever we meet, we always have one problem or another.Michael: But last Saturday was all right. We had no trouble whatsoever seeing each other.Julia: It's always me who is waiting for you.Michael: That's not true! Wasn't I waiting for you today? And do you still remember the day when we went boating? I waited for you for about half an hour!Julia: If you don't want to wait for me, then wait for someone else.Michael: Julia, it's not that. You know what I mean.Julia: You just don't love me anymore.Michael: Of course I do. That's why I'm here. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have waited here for an hour.Julia: But you never say "I love you" any more.Michael: Do you think I have to repeat the same three words all the time? Actions speak louder than words.Julia: But if you don't say it, how do I know?Michael: Come on, Julia. Don't be childish. Are we speaking the same language? It seems to me you always get me wrong.Julia: Well, if...if I hadn't realized what had happened we would still be waiting at two different places right now!Michael: Are you saying I'm stupid? Then why did you fall in love with me, then? Julia: Because I am even more stupid than you are! (Both laugh.)Michael: Now, let's forget it. Why don't we go for a walk in the park?Julia: Sure!

In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job which shows the differences between men's and women's ways of talking. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Listening III1-5 F T F F TScript:Walking down the street, a dog saw an ad in an office window. "Help wanted.

"I can't hire a dog for this job," the office manager said. But when the dog pointed to the line that read "An equal-opportunity employer", the office manager sighed and asked, "Can you type?" Silently, the dog walked over to a typewriter and typed a letter without a mistake. "Can you operate a computer?" the manager inquired. The dog then sat down at a computer, wrote a program and ran it perfectly."Look, I still can't hire a dog for this position," said the office manager. "You have fine skills, but I need someone who's bilingual.

He speaks Spanish and a little bit of English.Ramon lives in the United States now, in Little Rock, Arkansas, with the Hutchinsons. They are not his real family. His real family is back in Bolivia. They cannot come to America because they have jobs and duties in their country and aren't able to leave. However, they do want their son to have an American education and be fluent in English.He misses his family and wishes to see them. It seems that no one understands his true feelings. It is difficult to listen to English all the time and then to express his thoughts in English. His American family is very nice to him and helps him in every way. In return, Ramon does little things to help the family. For instance, he takes the dog for a walk every morning and every evening.When he comes back from the morning walk, he tells Mrs. Hutchinson about the weather. This tells her how to dress her four-year-old son. On Tuesday, Mrs. Hutchinson asks, "How is the weather today?"Ramon answers, "It rain.""No, Ramon, in English we say, 'It's raining.'"On Wednesday, it rains again."It's raining today," reports Ramon.On Thursday, it snows. On Friday, the sun finally shines. Ramon is very happy that he doesn't have to wear boots or carry an umbrella. He comes into the house with a big smile on his face."How's the weather today?" asks Mrs. Hutchinson."Oh, today I am very happy," replies Ramon. "There is no weather."。

Professor: All right, today we’re going to continue our discussion on ethics. We’ll discuss the question, “Should the Inuit people of North America be allowed to hunt seals?” It’s an important question, and in recent years, the European Union made it illegal to trade seal products. So in Europe, you can’t buy or sell seal skins, or seal oil, or anything made from seals. Now, you probably don’t wear seal-skin clothing or use a lot of seal oil, right? And the law is popular with most people in Europe. Why? Because they see pictures of cute baby seals, and then they see pictures of the seal hunt. People kill the seals with a gun, or in the more old-fashioned way, by hitting them on the head.

I only saw six shows but I wanted to go to see the Empire State building and I wanted to go see ...F2: And eat?F1: And eat? Of course.F2: I didn't have time to eat.F1: Of course... And shop?F2: And shop.F1: Lots of shopping which was really, really fun. I spent way too much money. F2: Did you? But you got that cute red jacket.F1: Yes.F2: I love that jacket.F1: Yes, I know. Thanks. But we have to go back.F2: Where did you get that jacket? At the GAP?F1: I got that, no, yeah, I did get that at GAP. You're right. You're right.F2: I was thinking you did.F1: But you know what, we took a Taxi ride on the way in? I don't know if I ever told you this. And we almost crashed the taxi. It was snowing so hard, that thetaxi just skidded into the guard rail. And he didn't act like it was any big deal. F2: Probably wasn't.F1: It was really scary.F2: Well, when we came ‘cause you know we were there like, I don't know, eight hours earlier than you? And we had to run for the plane to get there.F1: To get there?F2: And I, of course, had to go to the bathroom when I ask the lady, the ticket place, I said, do I have, I need to go. She said, "you don't have time!" They were ready to close the door, we barely made it.F1: They have bathroom on airplanes.F2: I know, but you know, that's sort of...F1: But so we've got to back, OK?F2: We do.F1: Absolutely!F2: I'm ready, and you've got place for us to stay.F1: Yes I do.F1: That would be great. That'll be great. And shows to see ...unit3A: So, I just got this and I don't know where to begin. Could you give me a few pointers?B: I'd be happy to. Why don't you hold it and just do as I say and I think that'll ... You'll be able to figure it out pretty quickly.A: OK.B: First of all, that little button on the top right, is the power switch. You press it and it comes up.A: Look at that.B: All right? The next thing you want to look at is that bottom part on the screen where all the icons are.A: I see.B: All right? And you see there's a house icon?A: Uh huh.B: That takes you home.A: OK.B: And so if you tap it with stylus, there you get to see all the programs that are on there.A: I see.B: And then you can see one that has the numerical symbols ...or the arithmetic symbols, excuse me ... Tap that, you get a calculator.A: OK, great.B: And then the screen just looks like a calculator, and you can use it as you would any other calculator.A: OK. I see.B: Got the idea?A: I understand.B: Now, you'll notice at the very bottom the case there are a bunch of switches that you can press.A: Uh huh.B: And those take you to the applications that you will use most frequently. A: OK, great.B: So the left most one has a sort of picture of calendar - that takes you to your calendar.A: I see.B: OK. And then the one with a picture of a phone takes you to your telephone list.A: OK, great.B: Your address list. And then there is one with ... That looks like little check boxes? That takes you to your To-Do-List.A: OK, I see.B: And then right most button is where you take notes.A: Oh, great. Well, that really gets me started that I'll be ... Have to start putting my phone numbers and to-do-list in here and get it filled up.B: OK. I think you'll enjoy it once you learn how to use it.A: Thanks for the tips.B: You're welcome.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.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.F1: OK. Let's go.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 my dad. 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 upand 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 to land 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...

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 withapproved 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.

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 tocommute, 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.
