Unit 9Part OneAlice: Listen! The sound of that music! It...it's fascinating! Where...where is it from?Xiao Hong: Oh, I...I don't know actually.Henry: Over there! Shall we go take a closer look?Alice & Xiao Hong: OK.Xiao Hong: Oh, it's a kind of Chinese folk instrument called pipa.Alice: Wow, what a beautiful musical instrument!Xiao Hong: Sure.Henry: What's more, it makes such a marvelous sound!Xiao Hong: Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that. Actually, our folk instruments are quite unique. You know, the sound is beautiful and, as you see, it looks good. But, still, unfortunately, they are getting less popular these days.Alice: Really? That's incredible. You know, our Scottish bagpipes, which are some of the oldest instruments in the world, are still quite popular.Xiao Hong: Well, I'm afraid it's not the case in our country. Y ou know, I'm not exaggerating. Nowadays the vast majority of young people prefer western music to Chinese folk music, and they think Chinese folk music and classical instruments are old-fashioned.Henry: What a pity! Many people listen to bagpipes and they are heard on all kinds of different occasions. I wonder why Chinese folk instruments, as old as those bagpipes, are so little appreciated today.Xiao Hong: Well, I think historic reasons may partly account for it. You know, in ancient times, most of the Chinese folk instruments were used to please and entertain the nobles. You know, they were too expensive for ordinary people to own and play unless the poor played them in the street to earn a living.Alice: I know that some Chinese emperors loved music and had a good taste in it.Xiao Hong: Oh, yes, like Tang Xuanzong, but his ministers were firmly opposed to it. They believed that the emperor's attention might be distracted from ruling the country if he spent too much time on music. And they seemed to think of music as something trifling and unimportant. Henry: But things are quite different in our country. Our people are extremely interested in music, and are very proud of our traditions. We view music as part of our lives.Alice: Y eah, and our government spends a lot of money on music education. In the year 1999——2000 for example, the Department of Education spent 1.5 billion dollars on teaching music 1999so that lots of children had the chance to learn to play musical instruments.Xiao Hong: I do wish that more people would appreciate the exquisite melody of our folk instruments and be proud of our traditions.Henry: What's the difference between western music and Chinese music?Xiao Hong: Well, young people think that western music is more exciting and passionate. The rhythm is stronger, which makes them feel more excited. Well, on the other hand, the Chinese music is harmonious, soft, gentle, mild and calm. It helps make people feel peaceful, comfortable and relaxed.Alice: Y es, there are differences between Chinese music and...and western music, but one isn't really better than the other.Xiao Hong: No, no, no. Absolutely not. When I listen to Chinese music, the beautiful melodyalways reminds me of the beauty of nature, hills, streams, small bridges and the singing of birds. You know, the melody is like the music of the nightingale, the music of running water and etc. But western music is more upbeat and exciting. I get full of energy and I want to dance and sing with it. I like rock music better than folk music actually.Henry: Rock and roll has a long history in western countries. There are plenty of bands playing different kinds of rock and roll music, like heavy metal and punk.Xiao Hong: And most of our Chinese musical instruments are made of wood, bamboo or something like that, so the music sounds natural while yours nowadays are mostly made of metal and they seem to be much more complex.Alice: Right. Take our flutes for example. They have more holes and buttons, so they rely on very precise notes to produce music.Xiao Hong: What's more, western singers are usually good at dancing while they sing, but our singers are usually only good at singing.Henry: I suppose because of cultural differences, Chinese, like their music, are usually more reserved.Xiao Hong: There are still some people who prefer Chinese folk music. The pop music nowadaysis increasingly dominated by western music.Alice: I guess people are immediately attracted to western music, but Chinese music has the mysterious power to attract you without you realizing it.Xiao Hong: Y eah, Chinese traditional culture has made a deep impact on Chinese music. Y ou know, the music emphasizes people's feelings and is very emotional.Alice: I've heard that the structure of western music is more logical than that of Chinese music.Xiao Hong: I find that the lyrics are different too. Chinese people tend to express their emotions indirectly while western people are more direct and individualistic. They make full use of music and instruments to express their personal feelings, such as excitement, disappointment, love, sorrow and etc.Henry: Western music has absorbed many musical elements from African music. It places great importance on rhythm, such as heavy metal music, rock music, hip hop and so on.Alice: Yes, and, of course, we have a number of well-known composers these days.Henry: Mm, nowadays it seems that rock and pop music dominate the musical world. In many pieces of music, one instrument can be used in order to produce a distinct sense of perception.Xiao Hong: I guess, eventually, because of globalization, the differences between western music and Chinese music may become less noticeable. You know, in the future, the music may have a lot more in common than we have realized now.Alice: Oh, as far as pop music is concerned, what you say is probably true, but even though musicis a universal language, folk music shouldn't be changed.Xiao Hong: That's right. Don't you think it would be a good idea to buy some Chinese folk music CDs to take home with you?Alice & Henry: That's a good idea! Let's go to the CD shop.Exercise 21.C2.C3.C 4,W 5,W 6.C 7.C 8.C 9.C 10,W 11.W 12.W 13.C 14.W 15.W 16.C 17.W 18.WExercise 31.perfer old-fashioned2.as old as3.account for4.own play earn to living5.very proud of6.1.5 billion had the chance7.hillls small bridges singing of birds8.full of energy9.holes buttons precise notes 10.indirectly individualistic 11.places great importance12.a universal languagePartTwo Listening I(Bill, Howard, and Lisa are talking about background music.)Part IBill: What are you working on now?Howard: I've just finished a piece of background music.Lisa: Background music? Oh, like the music they're playing here now. Howard: Yes. You hear it everywhere, in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores... Bill: In banks, too. I noticed it while we were at the bank today.Lisa: Did you? I didn't.Howard: Y ou are not supposed to notice it. It's just there, in the background. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, and put you in the right mood.Lisa: I'm not sure I like that idea.Howard: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production by 4.5 percent.Bill: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.Howard: They don't though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."Lisa: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.Howard: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now, of course, the music is piped in by a machine, and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at 10 in the morning than at 8, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.Part IIBill: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?Howard: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was 22 minutes before that.Lisa: So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.Howard: Exactly. And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services. Lisa: I still think there's something about it that I don't quite like.Howard: I know what you mean, but lots of people wouldn't agree with you. The Xerox Corporation in Rochester, N. Y Corporation in Rochester, N. Y., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons ., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It's even supposed to have an effect on plants.Exercise 11.restaurants airports supermarkets 12,attitudes in the right mood the people around him happy work better 3.World War II happy calm a machine kinds of music different times faster slowerExercise 21.T2.F3.F4.T5.T6.F7.T8.FListening IIMore and more doctors are operating to music. They say it eases their minds.One doctor in Chicago says classical music is the only kind that does not interfere while he is operating. But in another Chicago operating room, the British rock group Pink Floyd can be heard. And in Washington, at least one doctor operates to the sound of the Beatles.Researchers from the State University of New Y ork at Buffalo did a study that seems to confirm that music helps reduce tension in doctors. They gave fifty male doctors difficult mathematical kinds of tests.The doctors did the test while listening to music they themselves had chosen. They did a similar test while listening to music that was chosen for them. They were tested a third time with no music at all. Each time, a machine measured their heart rate and blood pressure.The doctors worked most quickly and calmly when listening to the music they themselves had chosen. They did the worst with no music at all.What kinds of music did the doctors choose? Mostly classical. But some chose instrumental jazz pieces or Irish folk music.There probably is one piece of music that should never be played during an operation: Brahms' "Lullaby". You do not want your doctor to go to sleep while operating, do you? Exercise 11.eases their minds operations2.classical instrumental jazz folk music3.A reduce tension B. 50/fifty male doctors C. Mathematics D.1)quickly 2)calmly 3)chosen for them 4)No music 5)the worst E. sleepyExercise 21.T2.F3.T4.F5.FPart ThreePractice OneThe Beatles were probably the most important pop and rock group of all time. They were together for only eight years, but their influence has lasted much longer.The Beatles came from Liverpool, England. They started playing together in 1962, although Paul McCartney and John Lennon played together in another group. They started by playing rock'n' roll songs, but they quickly developed their own style. By 1963, they had become Britain's top rock group. A year later they toured the United States, where they attracted millions of fans.By the time the Beatles broke up in 1970, they had changed the nature of rock and pop music. They introduced new sounds and rhythms, and they experimented with different types of musical instruments. They recorded hundreds of songs and they sold millions and millions of records. They made many films and won many awards for their music.Today, the Beatles' songs are still very famous all over the world.Exercise 1B D A CExercise 21.their own style2.the nature3.sounds experimented4.songs records5.films awardsPractice Two(Dennis is interviewing Stephanie, a music teacher.)Dennis: Which do you think is the easiest instrument for people to learn to play?Stephanie: It's difficult to answer that question because learning to play an instrument is one thing, and learning to play it well is another. But I think the guitar is the easiest to learn. It's one of the easiest to carry, and that's important for a musician.Dennis: And the second?Stephanie: My second choice is probably the most popular instrument, and I think it's the most satisfying, too, because you can make more progress at the beginning. That's the piano.Dennis: So you think playing the piano's more difficult than playing the guitar.Stephanie: Yes, because, well, your left hand has to work as hard as your right and both hands have to make notes. With the guitar, you make the notes with the left hand, and the right just picksthe strings.Dennis: Is playing a woodwind or brass instrument very difficult? It looks quite easy.Stephanie: I think the clarinet and the trumpet are the easiest to learn. Finding the notes is quite easy and breathing isn't a serious problem. But I find all the wind instruments less satisfying for people to play, because you can't do much alone. You have to play with others.Dennis: And which do you think is the most difficult instrument to play?Stephanie: No doubt at all, the violin. And I think it's the most difficult because both hands have to work, but they have to do different jobs. I mean, the left hand makes the notes on the strings, andit's harder to find the notes than on the guitar because the strings are shorter. The right hand has to manage the bow, and bowing well is an art. Finally, the most difficult thing about it, I find, is holding the instrument under your chin. It's not a natural position to adopt.Exercise 11.(1)trumpet (2)piano (3)violin 2(2)piano (1)clarinetExercise 21.picks the strings2.as hard as3.makes the notes4.on the strings5.manages the bowExercise 31.learn2.carry3.popular4.satisfying5.progress6.easiest7.less satisfying8.most difficultPractice Three(Four people, Steve, Connie, Diane, and Martin, are giving their opinions about their favorite musicians before attending an international concert.)Steve: Oh, no doubt about it. My favorite's Bruce Springsteen. He's the best there is. I think he's more direct, he communicates better than the others. It's not that the others are bad, but he's better.In a way his kind of rock music's more old-fashioned than, er, Sting's, say, but for me it's moreexciting. And the messages in his songs are simpler. They're easier to understand than Sting's or Peter Gabriel's, so I can relate to them better.Connie: The singer I want to hear most is Peter Gabriel. He's not really one of my favorite singerssingers——I mean I don't think he's as exciting as Bruce Springsteen, for instance—but his latest songs, these African songs with African rhythms, well, they're more musical than pop songs usually are. And I think all the singers are sincere about the human rights movement, but he feels more deeply about it than the others.Diane: Oh, I think Sting and his band are the best. Sting's better now with his new band than during his time with the Police. He seems more natural and I think he enjoys playing more. And he's a much better songwriter now. The one I like most in the band is the sax-player, Branford Marsalis. He plays brilliantly, but the best thing about him is his sense of humor. He really makes me laugh!Martin: To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward most to hearing Youssou N'Dour. I like Peter Gabriel's African songs, but he's an Englishman, not an African, so it's not the same as the real thing. I mean, real African music is different from reggae and rock, because it's more rhythmic than reggae, but not as heavy as rock. The rhythms are very unusual, too, and more sophisticated than people think.Exercise 11.T 2,T 3,T 4.F 5.F 6.F 7.F 8.TExercise 2Musicians BruceSpringsteen Sting PeterGabrielBranfordMarsalisYoussouN’Dourbrilliant √ communicative √direct √exciting √musical √natural √Not so heavy √ humorous √rhythmic √ simpler √ sophisticated √ unusual √Practice FourIt has long been known that Cellist Yo-Yo Ma possesses astonishing musical talent. By age seven he had already played for Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals. Later he went to Juilliard and on to Harvard, where he studied international cultures. Soon he tasted stardom, giving concerts around the world.But he tells of a humbling experience while in Namibia, where he went to observe trance dances and musical rituals of the people. At the end of his stay he produced a cello and offered them a performance of his own. "They said, 'Stop. Don't play. We want to play for you, '" Ma remembers with a laugh. "I think I was too self-important to bring my cello. They didn't give adamn."His story is one of a star realizing that not everyone knows or cares who he is. "To be a good performer, you have to have a very strong ego," he says. "But to be a really good performer, you have to make sure that your ego is not the center. To play Beethoven, you have to figure out who he was, and how that's encoded in the music. And then you have to realize you are not Beethoven."Exercise 11.A2.B3.A4.C5.AExercise 21.T2.N3.T4.F5.TPart FourSection 1Some people called John Lennon the "thinking man's Beatle". He was serious and creative, and many young people of the 1960s and 1970s thought he spoke for them.Lennon was born on October 9,1940, in Liverpool, England. During his childhood he listened to the music of rock 'n' roll singers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. At 15, when he was in an art school, Lennon started his first band, the Quarrymen. The band included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best, a drummer.The Quarrymen later changed their name to the Silver Beatles and then the Beatles. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as drummer. Between 1958 and 1962 the group played in nightclubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, West Germany. Then the Beatles made a record called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and changed the history of rock 'n' roll.Many people think that Lennon was the most important singer and songwriter of the Beatles. In general, his songs are sensitive and intelligent, and they still influence today's popular musicians.On December 8, 1980, a confused young man shot John Lennon outside his apartment building in New York City. A few days later, thousands of people gathered in New York's Central Park to remember him. For them, and for many other people in the world, he was someone very special.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.F6.T7.T8.TSection IIRock began in the U.S.A. in the early 1950s. At that time, "rhythm and blues" music was very popular with black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast lyrics.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this new white R&B music, called "rock 'n' roll", had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock 'n' roll was very dangerous.Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. There are "heavy metal" which is extremely loud with hard rhythms, "reggae" from Jamaica that combines rock with jazz and Latin rhythms, "rap" that hasdeveloped on the streets of New York, "disco", a type of soft rock music for dancing, "Afro-rock" that combines rock with African rhythms, "Mex-rock", which combines rock with traditional Mexican melodies...and many, many more.1 2√ 3 4√ 5 6 7√ 8√ 9 10√ 11 12√Section IIIBig Big Worldby Emilia*I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do do feel that I do do will miss you muchMiss you muchI can see the first leaf fallingIt's all yellow and niceIt's so very cold outsideLike the way I'm feeling inside(Repeat the part marked with "*".)Outside it's now rainingAnd tears are falling from my eyesWhy did it have to happenWhy did it all have to end(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I have your arms around meWarm like fireBut when I open my eyes, you're gone(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do feel I will miss you muchMiss you much1.falling2.nice3.cold4.inside5.raining6.tears7.happen8.arms9.fire 10,gone。

Unit 9Section OnePart 1 Spot DictationAs the bulge of the baby boom pushes into (1) middle age - the 30-to-50-year-olds are now the (2) largest age group in this country - our outlook on getting older is (3) changing. In fact, experts are finding today that getting older is getting better, in very (4) real ways.Most people in their middle years are at the (5) peak of their working lives. This is the time of (6) competence when people get a great deal of (7) satisfaction and security out of realizing they have something to (8) offer others.As you get older, you're more (9) secure in your relationships. The longer you've been married, the more likely it is that you are going to (10) stay married.It takes a long time to become a (11) person. The older you get, the more (12) unique you become. You become (13) clearer about what you think, what you like and don't like. You know who you are.One of the things we fear about growing older is increasing (14) isolation. If you let it, your world can (15) shrink. But if you make the effort, (16) midlife can be a time of more personal relationships. If you (17) nourish your relationships, by the time you've reached midlife you have a rich network -lifelong friends, (18) acquaintances, colleagues, an extended family.While older people are free to spend their time the way they want, they also know they have (19) less of it. That makes them more aware of how precious timeis and more (20) discriminating about how they use it.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with what you hear. (Refer to Tapescript)Unlike air travel, which is regulated internationally, rail travel is in many cases controlled nationally. The degree of safety of rail travel is therefore highly variable from country to country, depending on the degree of regulation and the quality of regulation in the country concerned. In Britain and the United States rail passenger deaths work out at an average of less than 10 rail passenger deaths per year. Unfortunately, the rail passenger deaths per year statistics in the less developed parts of the world are considerably higher than the rail passenger deaths per year statistics are in the western world.In the UK over the last 25 years, there has been an average of one train accident for every million miles run. Because individual trains carry such a large number of passengers compared with the number of passengers carried in cars, buses and planes, this actually means that the degree of risk is, comparatively, one which is almost non-existent.By far the greatest cause of railway accidents is human error, either in controlling or responding to signals. Recent improvements in the numbers ofaccidents are in large measure due to the introduction of automatic and computerized signalling equipment. Radio communication systems between drivers and control centres have also proved influential in reducing accidents. With the continuing development of radio communication systems and automatic signalling systems we can look forward to further reductions in what are already impressively low accident rates.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1)This passage is about rail travel safety.2)The key words are highly variable. degree and quality of regulation: Britainand the United States. less than 10 rail passenger deaths per year: less developed parts. higher: UK. last 25 years. one train accident for every million miles run: cause. human error: automatic. computerized signaling.radio communication systems. reduce accidents.Section Two Listening Comprehension ~Part 1DialogueAdolescenceInterviewer: So, you say Eric's what you'd consider pretty strict but prettyfair?

T 3. F 4. T 5. T 6.F 7. T 8. TPart 2 PassageA Brief History of Banking1)Situated usually at a table or in a small shop in the commercial district, thebankers aided travelers who came to the town by exchanging foreign coins for local money.2)It wasn't long before the idea of attracting deposits and securing temporaryloans from wealthy customers became an important source of bank funding.3)The banking industry gradually spread outward from the classicalcivilizations of Greece and Rome into northern and western Europe.4)The early banks in Europe were places for safekeeping of valuable items aspeople came to fear loss of their assets due to war, theft, or expropriation by government.5)As the 19th century began, the development of large, professionally managedbanking firms was centered in a few leading commercial centers, especially New York.When did the first banks appear? The first bankers lived more than 2,000 years ago. They were money changers, situated usually at a table or in a small shop in the commercial district, aiding travelers who came to the town by exchanging foreign coins for local money or discounting commercial notes for a fee in order to supply merchants with working capital.The first bankers probably used their own capital to fund their activities, but it wasn't long before the idea of attracting deposits and securing temporary loans from wealthy customers became an important source of bank funding. Loans were then made to merchants, shippers, and landowners, at rates ofinterest as low as 6 percent per annum to as high as 48 percent a month for the riskiest ventures ! Most of the early banks of any size were Greek in origin.The banking industry gradually spread outward from the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome into northern and western Europe. Banking encountered religious opposition during the Middle Ages, primarily because loans made to the poor often carried high interest rates. However, as the Renaissance began in Europe, the bulk of bank loans and deposits involved relatively wealthy customers, which helped to reduce religious opposition to banking practices.The development of new overland trade routes and improvements in navigation in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries gradually shifted the center of world commerce from the Mediterranean region toward Europe and the British Isles, where banking became a leading industry. The Industrial Revolution demanded a well-developed financial system. In particular, the adoption of mass production methods required a corresponding expansion in global trade to absorb industrial output, requiring new methods for making payments and credit available. Banks that could deliver on these needs grew rapidly.The early banks in Europe were places for safekeeping of valuable items (such as gold and silver bullion) as people came to fear loss of their assets due to war, theft, or expropriation by government. In England during the reigns of. Henry VIII and Charles I, government efforts to seize private holdings of gold and silver resulted in people depositing their valuables in goldsmiths' shops, who,in turn, would issue tokens* or certificates, indicating that the customer had made a deposit at these businesses. Soon, goldsmith tokens or certificates began to circulate as money because they were more convenient and less risky to carry around. The goldsmiths also offered certification of value services - what we today might call property appraisals*. Customers would bring in valuables to have an expert certify that these items were indeed real and not fakes - a service many banks still provide their customers.When colonies were established in North and South America, Old World banking practices were transferred to the New World. As the 19th century began, state governments in the United States began chartering* banking companies. The development of large, professionally managed banking firms was centered in a few leading commercial centers, especially New York. The federal government became a major force in US banking during Civil War.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionA bank is, actually, a business organization, usually a limited company, which trades mainly in money, receiving and holding deposits and paying sums out of them by order of the customer, lending money at interest, discounting bills of exchange, moving from one place to another, acting as customer's agent in buying and selling securities, serving as trustee or executor, and performing various extra services for customers, e.g. arranging travel and insurance and advising on tax and investment.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirection: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

The loss to the world's second largest ice sheet - more than 50 cubic kilometers per year - is enough to raise global sea level by 0.13 millimeters. NASA scientist Bill Krabill says the data indicates a process of change that does not immediately threaten coastal regions."The more important thing is to consider it as a signal of global climate change and to monitor it in case it starts to accelerate."Eighty-five percent of Greenland is covered by ice and is more accessible for scientific study than Antarctica, which is under the world's largest ice sheet."Greenland, the way it's positioned - much more north south, and the southern tip of Greenland protrudes* into the more temperate* latitudes* - it may react much quicker to global climate change than Antarctica does."Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the rapid thinning of the ice sheet on Greenland.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.F 2.F3. T 4. T 5. TCooling AntarcticaA new study says Antarctica, the southernmost continent, has cooled measurably in recent years. The findings are a departure from global trends that show significant warming during the last century.University of Chicago Professor Pete~ Doran monitors the pulse* of Antarctica. He and other researchers have plotted* climate trends in the region. They are working with data from weather stations in Antarctica's Dry Valleys, a perpetually snow-free, mountainous zone, and from stations across the continent.Their records show a decrease by 0.7 degrees Celsius per decade in the Dry Valleys since 1986 and a similar cooling trend across the continent since 1978.Doran said, "Antarctica is somewhat isolated because there is a big ocean current* that constantly circles around the continent and actually sort of isolates it, and that's what makes it cold. And, that may be a factor in why we are seeingAntarctica cooling is that slight disconnect from the rest of the globe, and it's not behaving in the same way."Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the result of a new study which suggests Antarctic cooling.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and answer the following questions.1. A new study says Antarctica, the southernmost continent, has cooled measurably in recent years.2. Professor Peter Doran and other researchers have plotted climate trends in the region.3. Antarctica's Dry Valleys is a perpetually snow-free, mountainous zone.4. The records show a decrease by 0.7 degrees Celsius per decade in the Dry Valleys since 1986 and a similar cooling trend across the continent since 1978.5. There is a big ocean current that constantly circles around the continent, so Antarctica is somewhat isolated from the rest of the globe, and does not behave in the same way.News Item 3Climate ChangeTAPESCRIPT AND KEYThe UN study predicts global temperatures will increase by nearly sixdegrees Celsius during this century. It says this will lead to increased flooding, drought, a rise in sea levels, and other climatic effects.The study says all regions of the world will suffer adverse* effects of climate change. The panel's co-chairman, James McCarthy, says some plant and mammals will be irreversibly* damaged; others will become extinct.Mr McCarthy says millions of people will be made homeless in low-lying countries such as Bangladesh because of sea level rise. Some islands will disappear completely. Economic losses will be incalculableIn addition, the report says crop and water loss will lead to more famine* in dry areas of the world, such as Africa.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summaryThis news item is about a study report on the dangers of global warming.

The predictions are contained in an article appearing in the current issue of the journal Science.Writing in Science, Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and Sarah Raper, of the University of East Anglia in England, described the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel * on Climate Change.The IPCC is a United Nations group made up of hundreds of climatologists* and geologists* from around the- world. It concluded that, if greenhouse gases - such as carbon dioxide and methane* - are allowed to continue to migrate intothe earth's upper atmosphere unchecked, temperatures near the ground could rise between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.However, what policymakers want to know according to Mr Wigley is the likelihood, or probability that temperatures will be at the low end of that range or exceed the range. So, he and a colleague Sarah Raper developed a formula for figuring out how large the temperature increase might be."One of the things we did was that we tried to work out what one would call the fifty-percent confidence interval *. The temperature range that corresponds to fifty-percent probability for warming lies within that range. But the fifty-percent confidence interval is roughly 2.4 to 3.8 degrees Celsius. And what that means is there's a 25 percent probability, or one chance in four, that, by 2100, the warming - the global warming - will exceed 3.8 degrees Celsius." Atmospheric scientist Tom Wigley says he used a computer model that refined the global warming range. The investigators plugged* in several different variables* that might occur throughout the century, such as the emissions of different greenhouse gases, to come up with the narrower range.But another study published in the journal Science challenged the IPCC's prediction that temperature will rise between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees Celsius by 2100. John Reilly is with the global climate change program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Mr Reilly says the IPCC range contains no uncertainty analysis."It makes a difference whether you think there's a 60-percent chance it'sgoing to rain today or a 30-percent chance it's going to rain today."Mr Reilly says mathematicians at MIT have made some calculations of their own, and come up with a different global warming range.MIT's John Reilly estimates the average rise in global temperatures will be 2.5 degrees Celsius if nothing is done by the end of the century.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about different predictions of global warming range by 2100. Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and answer the following questions.1)IPCC stands for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UnitedNations group made up of hundreds of climatologists and geologists from around the world.2)The IPCC concluded that, if greenhouse gases - such as carbon dioxide andmethane - are allowed to continue to migrate into the earth's upper atmosphere unchecked, temperatures near the ground could rise between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.3)What policymakers want to know according to Mr Wigley is the likelihood, orprobability that temperatures will be at the low end of that range or exceed the range.4)They conclude that by 2100, the global warming will exceed 3.8 degreesCelsius.5)MIT's John Reilly and his colleagues estimate the average rise in globaltemperatures will be 2.5 degrees Celsius if nothing is done by the end of the century.International Financial Markets1)Policymakers try to stimulate growth through either expansionary monetaryor fiscal policy.2)With the increase in size and mobility of capital internationally, a substantialamount of national debts may be to foreigners, denominated in foreigncurrencies.3)Once the supply of international reserves is threatened, the country'scentral bank may be forced to step aside, allowing the currency todepreciate.4)The domestic economy may weaken severely following the currency crisis, ifother countries have pursued similar macroeconomic strategies, or facesimilar macroeconomic conditions.5)International financial markets impose a powerful disciplining force, muchthe same as stock market investors reward and penalize companies for good and bad performance.An important aspect in the transformation of international financialmarkets comes from the speed, severity*, and scope of market reactions. Policymakers who try to stimulate growth through either expansionary monetary or fiscal* policy must face an external constraint imposed by a pegged* exchange rate or a limit on how much can be borrowed from foreigners. Throughout most of the post-World War II period, imbalances resulting from differences in national economic policies or macroeconomic* performance were slow to develop. Capital mobility was limited, and there was less opportunity for capital flight. At some point, the overstretched country would devalue by 10 percent, 20 percent, or so and the cycle would start again - with no great headlines, no great drop in national income, and no knock-on* effects to neighboring countries.Over the last 10 years, the nature of international financial adjustment has changed. With the increase in size and mobility of capital internationally, a substantial amount of national debts may be to foreigners, denominated in foreign currencies, and in practice these debts are often short-term. As long as foreigners feel confident about the macroeconomic performance of a country, existing short-term debts are rolled over and new capital flows may follow thus furthering the expansion.However, any event that shakes confidence (a corporate failure, a bank failure, a commodity price drop, a political speech, or a scandal) could halt the flow of capital and jeopardize* the rollover* of debt on existing terms. A scenario of this sort triggers* a demand for international reserves, which arein limited supply at the central bank. Once the supply of international reserves is threatened, the country's central bank may be forced to step aside, allowing the currency to depreciate without any assurance of where the next stable anchor will be. We can call this a currency crisis. Because bank debts are in foreign currencies, the devaluation worsens bank balance sheets and banks may be forced to stop lending or call in existing loans to raise cash. Domestic banks are likely to fail if these steps are unsuccessful. Thus, the domestic economy may weaken severely following the currency crisis. If other countries have pursued similar macroeconomic strategies, or face similar macroeconomic conditions, these events underscore the impact that a vast pool of capital may have when it is mobile across borders and denominated in a foreign currency.International financial markets impose a powerful disciplining force - rewarding good policies and outcomes, and penalizing* poor policies and outcomes - much the same as stock market investors reward and penalize companies for good and bad performance. This new international investment climate raises important questions for the pricing of foreign securities and for investors and macroeconomic policies.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionThe most conspicuous function of money is that it can be used as a means of making payment forgoods and services.

graduaters I've worked with over the years were confused about their career options.They just didn't know about all the fields or kinds of jobs that they could investigate.Dave,for example,had his heart set on working for Nike.He loved sports and had played college baseball.Nike was his place-he just knes it.Problem was Nike didn't know it.Dave was an English major and wasn't sure what job he could do for them.When afamily friend arranged for ameeting with an accountant that worked at Nike,Dave hoped the man would find him ajob at the company.But Dave didn't tell the man the type of job he could do,didn't ask questions about Nike'scommunications department,nor did he inquire about who else he should talk to at the company.The result：Nothing happened after that meeting.It wasn't the Nik eemployee's job to fugure out what career Dave could do,it was Dave's.Not having aclear idea of the type of jobs he can do is acratical error.I began to work with Dave shortly after the Niek meeting,focusing him on his stronger skills-writing,editing,and computer skills.Dave began working temporary jobs and started networking with thealumor.Through networking,he learned about aposrion at apublishing company.He landed ajob as editorial asistant at acompany that published comic books and was coming out with anew baseball vedeo game.Dave found aterrific job once he directed his skills to what he could do for an employer instead of what an employer could do for him.c,d,a,c 1a liberal arts college graduate 2English at college3college baseball 4writing,editing,computer 7networking with
