Always buy goods from well-known and trustworthy companies. Deal with companies which offer customer service, a complaints procedure and have a refund policy.Talk to merchant. E-mail and wait for reponses. Take down the addresses and phone numbers of those companies and make sure they are real by calling them up before buying any products and services.Ensure secure connection. Since buyers must submit personal information like number and expiry date of the card there are fears over security. Deal with sites that apply strict safety measures that require shoppers to give specific data known only to card holders before making the transaction.Be extra careful at a cybercafe or other public connection.Part II Net shopping under fireThere is an urgent need for e-commerce rules to boost confidence in buying online. Consumers International, a federation of 245 consumer organizations —including the UK's Consumers Association —said its survey showed that there were still obatacles to shopping online with complete trust.The study, funded by the European Union, involved buying more than 150 items from 17 countries. Each consumer organization taking part tried to find one site in its own country and one abroad to buy a selection of items. These included a dictionary, a doll, jeans, a hairdryer, computer software and hardware, chocolates and champagne.The key findings were:Eight of the items ordered took more than a month to reach their destination and at least 11 (eight percent) never arrived.Many sites did not give clear information about delivery charges.Only 13% of the sites promised that they would not sell customers' personal information on to a third party.Only 53% of the companies had a policy on returning goods.Only 65% of the sites provided confirmation of the order and only 13% told customers when their goods had been dispatched.In two cases,customers are still waiting for their money back more than four months after returning their goods.Louis Sylvan, vice-president of Consumers International, said, "This study shows that, although buying items over the Internet can benefit the consumer by offering convenience and choice, there are still many obstacles that need to be overcome before consumers can shop in cyberspace with complete trust."Chris Philips, Marketing Manager at a London based e-commerce security company commented, "This study confirms the difficulties of establishing consumers' trust in the Internet as a shopping experience. With statistics like these and Visa claiming 47% of disputes and fraud cases were Internet-related, it is little wonder that Internet commerce is not producing the profits predicted two or three years ago. Trust takes time to build, and the Internet will not mature as a retail channel until trusted brands, like the banks for example, start to offer ways of supporting trust relationships with guarantees payment and service."In September, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development will hold a meeting to discuss a set of international guidelines for electronic commerce.Part III Banking at homeMany people dislike walking to the bank, standing in long lines, and running out of checks. They are dissatisfied with their bank's limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night, and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home, any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks are preparing "online branches," or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically, and even e-mail questions to the bank.Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep —people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology as they move into the twenty-first century.Online banking may not be appropriate for everyone. For instance, many people do not have computers at home. Other people prefer to go to the bank and handle their accounts the traditional way. Even though online banking may never completely replace a walk-in bank, it is a service that many customers are going to want to use.Part IV More about the topic: Secret of Good Customer ServiceIn Britain they ask you, "Are you being served?" Whilst in America they tell you to "Have a nice day." But what is the secret of good customer service? From Harrods in London and Saks New York, we're going to find out the dos and don'ts of selling protocol.The reason that Harrods has been so successful over a hundred and fifty years is two fold. First of all they've offered their customers the products they want to buy in a pleasant environment. But secondly and more importantly, the level of customer service that they've given their customers, before sale, during sale and after sale, has been second to none. I think it's fair to say that if you compare the British with our cousins elsewhere in the world that we are actually quite a reserved lot. To a certain extent there are a lot of shrinking violets in this country who would rather just do their own thing. They'd rather wander around and browse and if they do need any help eventually, ask for it. So I think the way that we approach our own U.K. based customers is actually slightly different to the way we know we need to approach. For example, an American customer, or indeed a Japanese customer, or a Middle Eastern customer, who all have different ways of doing things. Well in serving different, I guess, nationalities, you do take very different approaches. With Europeans, for example, you do kind of let them take a look at everything. See what's being on offer and then ask them if they need any help. I think they'd probably much more prefer to come to you, rather than you so much to go to them. The American customer very much expects you to go to them, approach them, show them alternatives. Well I think maybe the more European or British customer can be almost turned off by that if someone is seen to be too aggressive, maybe too anxious to make a sale.It's most important that the first contact, the first initial meeting with the customer is a good and successful one because on that basis, the customer will make up their mind what they want to do next.I quite like the English sales assistants because they definitely have better thing to do than talk to you, which I like. It's very terrifying when you go to America. "Can I help you?" they're like licking you. You're just like, "No, I'm fine. I just want to look." That puts me off. I love the English sales assistant.So where have you experienced the very best in customer service?Umm, probably America. In terms of best as in, they give you so much attention it's almost embarrassing. They treat you, you know, the "have a nice day" thing. They' want to help you. They want you to buy, 'cause they often work on a commission basis. That's if you like best. But I prefer the ... like, being ignored.Tamara:I think England's still way behind in terms of, like America for example. I can call in Americafrom London and they'll track the item down. It's not like, "Sorry madam we don't have that in your size." I just got the Gucci boots, which mine had actually broken. And in England they said, "Sorry" you know, that's it. So this woman in Los Angeles tracked them down and, in fact got them for me. That's because they work on commission. And the sooner we learn that, the better the service will get.So what do the Americans have to say? They may speak with a different accent. But is the sales pitch a foreign language to the rest of the world?I think part of the reason Americans are known as experts is that we tend to focus a lot more in the human side of selling, not the mechanical side, which is the register and knowing about the product. We really want to know about your lifestyle. We want to know about your family. We want to know about your income. We want to know about your occasions in your life. And that's very different outside of the United States. Our consumer actually is comfortable with forming a partnership with a sales associate and giving up that information, very personal information, very personal information. I think that best part about Saks sales associate training that we actually develop customers, five different types of customers and we videotape them and put them up in front of every new sales associate and say, "This is our customers." They're very different. Each one of them is a top customer at Saks but they shop in a very different way. A lot of stores in this industry really measure selling effectiveness by sales and quite frankly that's not what Saks is about. I think the way you measure good quality staff is by repeat business. Obviously if you have someone on your selling floor that has a clientele, that is the measure of a good sales associate. Part V Do you know…?"Everybody loves a bargain, "this is a common American saying. A bargain is something you buy for less than its true vale. It is something you might not buy if it costs more.One person's useless ugly object can be another person's bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a "for sale" sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you think are extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked $10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusertts. He paid $125 for what everyone thought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachusetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jardere learnt the war club was valued at about $150 000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1. Which of the following is a common American saying?2. What can be sold at a yard sale?3. Why do people go to a yard sale?4. When was the old wooden club stolen?5. What was the real value of the club?6. Why was the club at a great value?Unit 2 Hotel or B&BPart I Getting readyB.

Can you explain this to me?C:Yes, of course. First of all we have the Castle Inn …here …it's the cheapest. It will cost you only ￡12 for a single room and ￡15 for a double. The price includes continental breakfast. If you want a full English breakfast you'll have to pay extra …T:What is this "English breakfast"?C:Oh, you know, hot food: fried egg, fried bacon, porridge … w hereas the continental breakfast is coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey — nothing cooked, you see.T:I think I would prefer the continental breakfast.C:Well, yes, that's included. And then we have the Dalton Hotel, more expensive, but very nice, a bathroom attached to every room. The Dalton charges ￡30 for a single room and ￡60 for a double. But there is no charge for children under 12 who stay in the same room as their parents.T:I won't have my children with me. But maybe my husband will come a little later …C:Well, the Park Hotel is very reasonably priced. ￡16 per person. Every room has a bath. There's a special rate of ￡25 which includes dinner, bed and breakfast —what we call half board. Or you can have full board, that's the room plus all meals for ￡29 per person per night.T:We would only want breakfast.C:I see. Mm …you could try the fourth hotel here, the Phoenix. It will cost you ￡28 for a double room with bath. Breakfast is ￡5 per person.T:Yes. But what about the extra money, what do you call it in English, the service...C:All these rates include a service charge of 10%. They also include VAT - that's Value Added Tax.T:If we come later in the year will it be cheaper?C:Yes. These are the rates for June to September. You would pay less at other times of the year.T:I'll talk about it with my husband. Thank you for explaining everything to me.C:You're very welcome.Part II A touch of homeBev Rose is a very good hostess. She tells the guests in her home there are sodas in the refrigerator, snacks in the kitchen, and videos next to the TV.But Rose's guests aren't out-of-town family or friends. Her guests are from all over the world. Rose's house is like a small hotel. It is called a bed and breakfast or B&B for short. The name of Rose's B&B is Suits Us.Rose and her husband have joined a growing number of people who are operating B&Bs in their homes. B&Bs offer the charm, comfort, and hospitality that is often missing in big hotels. That's why there are many people who would rather stay at a B&B than a hotel when they travel.There are about 15 000 B&Bs across the U.S. Each year they welcome millions of visitors. And the number is increasing. "I think guests are looking for the personal touch," said Pat Hardy,the director of the American Bed and Breakfast Association. "In a B&B, you don't have a room number. The owner knows who you are and helps you enjoy your trip," Hardy said. Travelers often want more than just a place to sleep. They like B&Bs because the owner takes a personal interest in them.Rose said one of the best things about owning a B&B is meeting all the different people. She loves watching the guests meet each other for the first time at breakfast. "It's really fun to stand in the kitchen and talk with my guests. Even though most of them have just met for the first time, the conversations at the breakfast table are really interesting and lively."Many B&Bs are older homes with interesting histories. Suits Us was built in 1883. The rooms are filled with antiques and 19th-century decorations. The Roses rent three of the upstairs bedrooms to guests. Every room at Suits Us has its own personality. The Roses have named several of the rooms for previous guests. For example, one of the rooms is named the Woodrow Wilson Room because the former U.S. President stayed there. Another room is called the Annie Oakley Room because the famous cowgirl was once a guest there.Bed and breakfasts aren't for everyone. Some people aren't comfortable staying in someone else's home. And other people don't care for the personal interaction. But for a quiet, romantic place to stay, many people are checking into bed and breakfasts instead of hotels. Once people have stayed in a B&B, they often find it hard to go back to hotels.Part III Renting a carA:Good afternoon. U-Drive-It rentals. May I help you?C:Hi, yeah. I'm interested in, uh, renting a car for the weekend, and I'm wondering if you have a special weekend rate?A:Yes, we do. [Mm-hmm.] Uh … what sort of car were you i nterested in?C:Well, we're a family of three and we have camping equipment. Now, I'm used to driving a small car, but I might need something a little larger because of the family and, uh … all the equipment that we have. A:Well, um … I could suggest a compact car for/to you. [Mm-hmm.] Some of our compacts have … have large trunks, [OK.] or, uh … Oh, better yet, why not a small station wagon? [Oh, good.] Um … all our cars are current models and, uh, have automatic transmission.C:Oh, well, I'm used to driving a standard, but I guess there's no problem with automatic transmission.A:No, no. If you can drive a standard you can drive an automatic. [Mh-hmm.] Uh, now, listen, when were you … uh … interested in … in renting this?C:Uh, well, we'll be leaving on a Friday, that's the … let's see, that's Friday, July 7th, and then returning on the Monday. That would be the tenth.A:Mm-hmm. Well, let's see … uh … we have … uh … Oh! We have a Pinto station wagon for those dates. [Mm-hmm. Good.] Um … yeah, I think … I think that's your best bet.C:OK. Uh … well, then when would we have to pick up the car and when would we have to return the car to get that special weekend rate?A:Well, for the weekend rate you have to pick up the car after four o'clock on Friday afternoon [Uh-huh.] and then return it by ten o'clock on Monday morning.C:After four on Friday and returning by ten o'clock on Monday morning. [Mm-hmm.] OK. What … uh … uh, what would be the price for that?A:OK, now, our … our regular rate is seventy-nine ninety-five. [Ooh!] but the special weekend rate w… you can get that for fifty-nine ninety-five. [Oh, Great.] Um … now the first threehundred miles are free, [Mm-hmm…] after that it's twelve cents per mile.C:Oh, so it's twelve cents a mile extra after the first three hundred miles?A:That's right.C:OK. Uh … do you have any … um … rentals with unlimited mileage?A:Well, we do, but you can't get that special weekend rate.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, then does the fifty-nine ninety-five - that was the rate, right? [Mm-hmm.] —does that include insurance?A:No … um … the insurance is ten dollars more, but I really recommend it.C:Yeah.A:OK, now there's a … there's a sales tax of eight percent, [Mm-hmm…] and … um … you have to return the car with a full tank of gas. [Uh-huh.] Also, we require a deposit of a hundred dollars.C:Oh boy. It sure adds up!A:Well, our rates are still the lowest in town.C:Uh-huh. OK. Well, I tell you what. I'd like to think about it, if that's right, and then I'll call you back…uh…A:Sure, that's fine. Uh, listen, when you … when you do call back, ask for Doug. That's me.C:OK. Well, thanks a lot. Doug. Goodbye.A:Take care.Part IV More about the topic: What Type of Room Do You Want?S: If the terms are favorable, we could come to an arrangement for regular accommodation. Now, I wanted to discuss the types of room with you, and rates for their use.M:Certainly. The rates I’ll quote to you first of all are what we call "rack rates" , that is the normal rates quoted to the public. But obviously we would discuss a discount rate for you. Now, as regards the rooms, they are all of a very high standard. All our rooms have central heating. Most of them are with bathroom, and they all have a washbasin and a toilet.S:That sounds fine. Can you tell me about your single rooms?M:Yes. Our single rooms are very comfortable, and the rates are very reasonable. I think you'd find them suitable for visiting staff of all grades. The rack rate is ￡40 a night.S: ￡40 a night …M:Yes. Or for real economy, let's suppose you have a sales conference. You could double up your sales staff and put them into twin rooms. That would work out very cheaply. The normal rate is ￡55 per twin or double room per night.S: Well, we might consider that possibility. But we also have some quite important visitors sometimes. Have you any really special accommodation we can offer them?M: Well, suppose you have visiting managerial staff. For something more luxurious, we can offer our Delphos Suite. It's delightful, and convenient for entertaining private guests. It has its own private terrace where guests can sit outside and enjoy the view over the lake …S: That sou nds most attractive …M: The normal rate is ￡150 per night …S: ￡150.M: … but for total luxury, the finest accommodation of any hotel in this area, I can recommend our Bella Vista Penthouse. From the balcony, there's a magnificent view over the whole countryside.S: Oh, lovely.M: It has a bedroom connecting to a large sitting room, with a separate study, a bathroom, and a fully-fitted kitchen. It combines total luxury with total privacy. For example, if your Company Director and his wife wanted to stay for a few days it would be ideal.S: And the rate?M: The normal rate would be ￡220 a night.Part V Do you know…?Five U.S. hotels were voted among the world's top ten, with the Halekulani in Honolulu ranking first, a survey of Gourmet magazine readers released last Friday said.Coming in second was the Oriental, in Bangkok, Thailand, followed by Villa d'Este, Cernobbio, Italy; The Regent Hong Kong, and Hotel Ritz, Paris.The Greenbriar, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia ranked No. 8. The 10th-ranked hotel was the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, in Charlestown, Nevis, West Indies.More than 150 hotels, resorts and inns in 27 countries and regions were ranked in general and specific categories that rated such things as dining, bars, pools, workout centers and romantic atmosphere. This is the third year that Gourmet, which has more than 5 million readers, has conducted the survey.Another U.S. hotel, the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, topped the list for restaurant dining, beating out the Connaught in London, Italy's Villa d'Este and Bangkok's the Oriental. The Four Seasons in Philadelphia was No. 5.In the specific category of best business hotels, the Regent Hong Kong ranked first as it has for the past three years. In other categories, Paris' Hotel Ritz with its Roman thermal baths was voted to have the best pools and The Green- briar in West Virginia was found to have the best workout center, golf and tennis.Unit 3 “Planting” MoneyPart I Getting readyC.

新发展大学英语《听力教程4》参考答案
各位老师：学生反映在网络教学平台胡“大学英语资源”下载到的《听力教程4》答案为老版本，现在这里有新版本的答案，请参考如下：Unit One Urban Life or Rural LifeⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 2There are positive effects and negative effects of living in the suburbs.●Positive effects:1. The air might be cleaner.2. There are more trees and less traffic congestion.3. You’ll probably have a garden.●Negative effects:1. Most people drive more and walk less.2. You’ll have little time for cooking and thus rely heavily on junk food.■ ScriptIn the suburbs the air might be cleaner, as there are more trees and less traffic congestion. Better still you’ll probably have a garden, which most inner-city dwellers don’t. Gardening is a healthy activity for you, and your children have the chance to play outside every day. This is a lot better for them than playing computer games all day because there is nowhere to go.The disadvantages of living in the suburbs are the flip side of the city advantages. Most people living in the suburbs end up driving more and walking less, as nothing is particularly close. This leads to weight gain and general lack of fitness. Those medium sized journeys that suburb dwellers need to do could be done on a bicycle, although this is not always practical or even possible.A less obvious effect of having to commute is little time for cooking. If a considerable portion of your time is spent getting to and from work, it is tempting to rely heavily on junk food, ready meals and takeaways. None of these is very healthy and too many can lead to obesity and the associated health problems.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C2. B3. C4. C5. A6. C7. A8. C9. D 10.

What time will the woman come to have a look at the apartment?Task 3 Understanding PassagesPassage OneListening for general comprehension1. Two2. B; AListening for specific information1. B2. D3. C4. D5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionSam and Mabel Brown wish they lived on a farm. If they had a farm, they could raise animals and produce their own food. It is hard work, but Mr. and Mrs. Brown would enjoy the peace and quiet of living in the country. And they could spend more time with their children. Linda could have her own horse, and Jimmy could go hunting and fishing with his father. On the other hand, if the Browns left the city, Jimmy and Linda would miss their friends. The Browns almost bought a farm several months ago, but it wasn’t what they expected. Nowadays, it’s hard to find a good piece of farmland at a reasonable price.Elmer and Sarah Barton have lived on a farm all their lives, and it hasn’t been easy. In 1998 their house burned down. That year they had lost most of their corn and wheat crops because of bad weather. Sarah Barton thinks it would be better if they moved to the city. Elmer could get a job working in his brother’s supermarket, and she could open a bakery. She makes wonderful cakes and pies. If Elmer and Sarah moved to the city, they would make new friends and go out more often. But they would probably miss their farm. After all, it’s the only life they have ever known.Listening for specific information1. What is Sam and Mabel’s wish?2. What would Jimmy do if the Browns realized their dream?3. What happened to Elmer and Sarah Barton in 1998?4. What do we know about Elmer and Sarah Barton according to the passage?5. What is the purpose of using the stories of two families in the passage?Passage TwoListening for general comprehension1. A C D H2. B E F GListening for specific information1. A2. C3. B4. C5. B■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionAmerican houses usually have private kitchens, a living room and sometimes separate areas for eating and watching television. A house usually has its own mailbox, a yard with plants or perhaps a lawn, and a place to store garbage out of sight.An apartment is usually one living space within a building. Several apartments can be in the same building, with a shared yard and parking spaces. A town house is a two-floor apartment. The kitchen, living room and dining room are usually on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second floor.Most Americans are happy to talk about their homes. And if they’ve done anything special in their home, they’ll let you know what it was, and maybe tell you what it cost. Most Americans live in cities, but nearly as many live in the suburbs. Suburban America has shopping centers called malls. Most of the houses in the suburbs are one or two storeys tall, with private yards and gardens and garages. There are few tall buildings in th e suburbs. Cities have neighborhoods, “warehouse” stores, and public transportation is usually pretty good. Private houses might only have a back yard, and if there is a garage it probably is small. Cities have a lot of apartment buildings and some tall bu ildings may seem to “scrape the sky”, so they are called “skyscraper s”.Listening for specific information1. What does an American house usually have according to the passage?2. What are the characteristics of a town house?3. What is most Americans’ attitude towards talking about their homes?4. What do we know about the houses in the suburbs according to the passage?5. According to the passage, what do we know about the tall buildings in the cities?Passage ThreeListening for general comprehension1. opportunities2. lifestylesListening for specific information1. C2. B3. B4. D5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionNowadays, more and more people, especially the young people, decide to live in large cities. The main factor is that cities offer many opportunities. First of all, young people can attend the best universities there and get good education which increases their chances to find employment in good companies. Besides, large modern cities provide limitless sources of entertainment. Young people can socialize in cafes, pubs, clubs or discos. Moreover, they can enjoy shopping in large shopping centers or department stores. All of these charms and attractions of the city are appealing to young people, however, when they start their own families they usually start missing peacefulness of country life. As they become older, people are tired with the stressful city life and often decide to move outside the city.Obviously, living in the country has many advantages. First of all, countryside is not polluted, therefore, you can breathe fresh air. Besides, there is hardly any road traffic, thus you can enjoy silence. You can also relax and go for a nice walk in the forest or in the meadows. What is more important, people can grow their own fruit and vegetables which are healthier than those you can buy in the greengrocer’s in the city.All things considered, it is obvious that the two lifestyles have their advantages and disadvantages. Some people find cities more exciting and appealing than the countryside but others prefer the beauty and peace of the countryside. The choice where to live depends on every person’s character and preferences.Listening for specific information1. What can young people get from the best universities in the cities?2. According to the passage, where can young people socialize?3. When do people begin missing peacefulness of country life according to the passage?4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT mentioned asan advantage of living in the countryside?5. How do people decide where to live according to the passage?Task 4 Compound Dictation1. changed2. estimate3. experts4. quality5. released6.settlements7. permanent 8.surrounding9. The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups10.the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life11. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious ■ ScriptFifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent estimate from the United Nations.City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this processof urbanization. A new report from the Worldwatch Institute says it is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the environment. The environmental research group in Washington released its 2007State of the World report last week.Of the three billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about one billion live in unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing. The report says that more than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries.The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups. For example, it says Freetown, Sierra Leone, has established farming within the city limits to meet much of its growing food demands. In Colombia, engineers have created a bus system in Bogota that the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life.Olav Kjorven heads the Environment and Energy Group at the United Nations Development Program. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious.But he says governments also need to consider why people are moving out of rural areas. Climate change, drought, floods there are many reasons forcing people to leave, he says.Ⅳ. Listening Skills for Long Conversations (Ⅰ)19. D 20. C 21. B 22. C■ ScriptW: Good evening, and welcome to this week’s Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established a bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours?M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the woman doing?20. What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?21. Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?22. What do we learn about the people working in the shop?Ⅴ.

Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 21. commit; rosy2. negative; failed3. considerate; criticize■ ScriptIn a proactive-love situation, you commit to keeping the fires of love burning, not expecting them to burn of their own accord. You know it will not be easy. But because you care, you are ready to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes. You believe in your partner, and you believe in love. You know that love is not the rosy feeling, which comes and goes without notice. It is a commitment, through thick and thin, independent of your feelings. Rather than wait to receive love, you give it first. And in selfless sowing you reap a harvest bigger than your seed.However, if reactive love is your style, your negative seeds will grow in every relationship you have, possibly causing a cycle of failed relationships.Regarding relationships, we could restate this law thus: Your relationship isthe harvest of the seeds YOU have sown. Therefore, to change your relationship, you must start by changing YOU, not your partner! If you want it better, become a better person. Be more considerate. Be more tolerant. Listen more. Criticize less. Give only what you would like to receive.Ⅱ. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C2. C3. D4. B5. C6. D7. D8. C9. C 10. B■ Script1. W: For years, I’ve tried to teach you that the most important thing in life is love, not money.M: I don’t think I’ve ever listened to you or Dad much. I only cared about what my friends thought.Q: What’s the relationship between the man and woman?2. W: Hey! I’ve heard that you’ve built your own house in your spare time. Is thatright?M: I’m still working on it. Every day I do a little bit more. It’s a way to show I love my family.Q: How does the man feel about his activity outside of work?3. W: Bill, are you still planning to buy that nice red sports car you looked at last week?M: I’m afraid that’s impossible because I haven’t been able to come up with the cash, and someone else has already made a down payment on it.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?4. M: Do you have your Christmas shopping done yet?W: Almost. I got a watch for my husband, but can’t seem to find anything for my Dad. He would probably like a book or a case for his coin collection.Q: What did the woman buy her husband for Christmas?5. M: Mary, why isn’t the trainer named Jane teaching here this term?W: She can’t. She was fi red.Q: What reason was given for Jane’s not teaching?6. W: Do you have an address where I can write to you?M: No, I’ll be hiking in the mountains most of the time.

D■ ScriptW: What kind of qualities do you look for in your friends?M: I like people who are open and friendly. Those people are usually more active and fun to be with. I like spending time with my friends. We go to bars together or play sports together.W: I don’t like to make friends with people who aren’t honest. Honesty is very important to me.M: I think it is important to most people. The problem is that you can only find out if someone is honest by getting to know them.W: You can find out from their friends.M: If you know any of their friends. You can’t rely on your friends to introduce people to you all the time. You have to go out and make the first move sometimes.I also like funny people.W: Oh, I don’t. They don’t seem to take anything seriously. You never know when they are joking and when they are being serious.M: Sometimes it can be hard to tell, but if you know the person fairly well, you can usually see from their expressions what they are really thinking.W: It seems that we generally like different kinds of people. How is it that we are such good friends?M: Maybe people don’t like to have friends that are all the same. Most people likea little variety in their lives—including a variety of characteristics in theirfriends.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What kind of friends does the man like?2. Why are the man and the woman good friends?3. What kind of friends does the woman dislike?4. Why do most people like to make friends with someone different from themselves?5. Which of the following statements is true?Task 3 Understanding PassagesPassage OneListening for general comprehension1. This passage is mainly about how to love yourself2. Three waysListening for specific information1. C2. A3. D4. B5. C■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionMost of us long for relationships in which we are loved and accepted just the way we are. However, we can have such relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselves—and, strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all.Do you love yourself? There’s only one way to find out—by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. If you’re really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work.Here are three ways for gaining greater personal insight for deeper love. Firstly, listen closely to your thoughts. Your thoughts will determine your actions. A journal or a notebook can help record various insights you gain as you go about your life. It will help you know what’s in your heart. Secondly, be honest with yourself. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself. Thirdly, take quiet time to listen to your inner voice. Sometimes you may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. The key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. It’s hard to find quiet ti me during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.Listening for specific information1. Which of the following is the hardest relationship of all?2. What will determine your actions according to the passage?3. What can make a difference in your life?4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?5. Which of the following is the key to having love with no limits?Passage TwoListening for general comprehensionThis passage is about showing our brotherly loveListening for specific information1. B2. D3. B4. D5. D■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionMost of us participate in some activities and organizations and give our time and money to help others. We are showing our brotherly love for others, but it is not quite the same as giving the love in person. Ways that we can share brotherly love in person are varied. When I see young people holding the door for an elderly person, or someone helping a lady put her groceries in the car, or even a scout who helps a woman cross the street, I realize that they are taking their time to share brotherly love personally. Many people collect food and clothing for the poor. Otherpeople participate in some programs where Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are provided for those in need, as well as Christmas presents for the less fortunate.This famous quotation “Though we can give without loving, it is almost impossible to love without giving.” was said by a French philosopher. When we do good deeds that help our fellow man, we are showing love. We are often told to “love our neighbors”. We should neither feel indifferent to those who need help nor let our egos stand in the way of helping them. There are many occasions when we can sympathize with those less fortunate and we are capable of giving them our generosity. Philadelphia is known as the city of brotherly love but every town that has people who care and help those less fortunate is also “cities of brotherly love”. Listening for specific information1. According to the passage, which is NOT the way to share brotherly love in person?2. Which of the following program of showing brotherly love is NOT mentioned in thepassage?3. Which of the following is NOT true about the quotation “Though we can give withoutloving, it is almost impossible to love without giving.”?4. Which of the following deeds should be forbidden according to the passage?5. Which city is known as the city of brotherly love?Passage ThreeListening for general comprehension1. This passage is mainly about the influence of parents’ love to children’s development2. The importance of mothers’ love seems to drop out altogether in some of the analyses Listening for specific information1. A2. B3. D4. D5. D■ ScriptListening for general comprehensionA father’s love—or the lack of it—contributes as much to the development of a child’s personality and behavior as the love of a mother, according to researchers. In some respects, they add, a father’s love is even more influential.Probably the most important and most surprising finding of all is that the importance of mothers’ love seems to drop out altogether in some of the analyses.The researchers reviewed almost 100 U.S. and European studies investigating the effects of parenting on the psychology and behavior of children as they grew older. The earliest study was conducted in 1949, and the most recent was completed in 2001.They report that the degree of acceptance or rejection a child receives—and perceives—from his or her father appears to affect his or her development as deeply as the presence or absence of a mother’s love.They note that the withholding of love by either the mother or the father is equally connected to a child’s lack of self-esteem, emotional instability, withdrawal, depression and anxiety. And the risk of developing problems with aggression, drug and alcohol abuse was equally related to a child’s rejection or acceptance by either parent.The investigators also found that having the love and nurturing of either parent has an equally positive effect on a child’s happiness, well-being and social and academic success from early childhood through young adulthood.Listening for specific information1. According to the researchers, whose love is even more influential in some respects?2. How many U.S. and European studies have investigated the effects of parenting onthe psychology and behavior of children?3. When was the earliest study on the effect of parenting conducted?4. If a child is rejected by either parent, which of the following problems is NOTmentioned in this passage?5. In which aspect can love from either parent have equally positive effect onchildren?Task 4 Compound Dictation1. golden2. meaning3. sense4. Owing5. pressures6. supposed7. humanity8. grasp9. campus love is just to find a partner to get rid of loneliness and boredom and enjoy happiness10. Therefore, “love passionately today, break up tomorrow” is understandable11. we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfectperson perfectly■ ScriptCollege years are considered to be the golden time for love. But I wonder whether college students know the true meaning of love. Many students don’t, they believe that happiness is just a sense of loving and being loved.Each love course can be unique as each person is unique. Owing to different family backgrounds and pressures, everyone has his own history and future, and personal character. And love is supposed to find our weakness, deficiencies and the true colors of humanity, to grow mature by learning, to grasp the true meaning of life, and to learn to free ourselves and requite others’ love in the process of courting.However, the majority of college students believe that campus love is just to find a partner to get rid of loneliness and boredom and enjoy happiness. Yes, if both of the two are of mature mentality and strong willingness to love, love can be raised to a higher level─to enjoy happiness. Yet, many college students do not treasure the happiness from love, instead, they are favor of nit-picking their boyfriend or girlfriend and demanding more and more things. Therefore, “love passionately today, break up tomorrow” is und erstandable. In my eyes, these students totally misunderstand the true meaning of love. After all, we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Love is to cultivate ourselves. It is only when we have seen through and perfected ourselves that our love is worthy.Ⅳ. Listening Skills for Long Conversations (Ⅱ)。
