Could you give me some tips?Diana: The pr oblem with you is that you’ve skipped too many classes. Now, let m e give you a few tips. First of all, you need to define the stock exchange. It’s an organization of brokers and investment bankers. In Europe it is often called a bourse.George: Could you tell me more about it? Like, how does it work?Diana: It provides facilities for the trading of company stocks, mainly the location and the record-keeping devices.George: Can I go and trade there?Diana: It depends. You have to be a member of the exchange before you can buy and sell shares there. They call it having “a seat” on the exchange.George: Something they use the term “stock market”.Diana: Well, the trading of stock on stock exchanges is called the stock market. George: How can a company be listed on the stock exchange?Diana: It has to meet certain requirements. To be listed on the New York Stock Exchange last year, for example, a company had to have issued at least a million shares of stock worth＄16 and had to have had more than ＄2.5 million net income.George: Wow, that’s a huge sum! Small companies haven’t got a chance. Diana: Big companies have more influence on the stock prices after all.

Wow! “That’s it,” I said to myself. “It’s time I make a decision. I’m going to short that stock.” I thought to myself, “This stock is overvalued. It can’t remain at the present level for long. This means money in the bank.”So I phoned my broker.“I wa nt to place a trade. I want to short 1,500 shares of ABC.“I’m sorry, Mr. Junkie,” he said, “I can’t process that for you. Your account is cash account. You need a margin account to short a stock. I can send you the application form or you nearestfinancia l institution to fill out the forms.”The minute I got of the phone, I heard out the door because time is money. I ranto the financial institution to fill out the form and sent it to the broker by express mail service. Next morning I called him.“Hello, it’s Mr. Junkie. Did you get my application?“Yes.”“Great, I would like to short ABC then.”“One minute please…I’m sorry, Mr. Junkie, but you now need a shorter’s account.”“What! You mean the margin account isn’t enough?”“No, you also need a shorter’s a ccount. Any financial institution nearby has the forms.”Off I ran again. I completed the form and had a taxi deliver to my broker. In the afternoon I called again.“Hello, it’s Mr. Junkie. I want to short 1,500 shares of ABC at ＄155.”A few moments later he answered, “Mr. Junkie, I am sorry, but I don’t think that is possible.”“Why not?”“Well, the last trade went through at ＄99.”F 1. The broker did not believe ABC stock could remain at ＄155 for long.T 2.

To short a stock, one needs both a margin account and a shorter’s account.F 5. Mr. Junkie asked a taxi driver the forms for a margin account to the broker.Task 3: Who am I if I own stocks?ScriptWhen a person buys stocks in a company, that person becomes a shareholder in that company. Stockholder is another name for shareholder. A shareholder can also be called an investor of the company. When that company makes money, which can also be called earned income or profit, the value of the company’s stock often increases. That’s because more people may become interested in investing in the company. Sometimes, shareholders receive a dividend, which is part of the company’s earned incomes, in the form of a cash payment.Some people try to make money by buying and selling stocks. Stock prices can move up and down. Shareholders may make money or lose money by selling stocks that they own, depending on whether the price has gone up or down since they bought their shares. A company’s stock price may be affected by market or economic conditions. For example, let’s say that BCD Enterprises is a software company that has introduced a new video game into the market. If that game is a hit, sales of the video game could boost the company’s earnings. Bec ause of the potential for BCD Enterprises to grow, its stock may be viewed as an attractive investment and its stock price may go up as more people buy its shares. On the other hand, let’s say the video game that BCD Enterprises introduced is a flop. Or, it could be a good time, but BCD introduced it at a time when people are spending less on leisure products, and hardly anyone is buying the game. So it’s reported that BCD is losing money because of this new product. Then the stock price for BCD Enterprises may go down if a number of shareholders decide to sell their shares.1. What is the passage mainly concerned with?C) The influence of shareholders’ buying and selling o n a company.2. Which of the following is NOT the same as a shareholder?B) A person selling shares on behalf of others.3. What may affect a company’s stock price?D) All of the above.4. According to the passage, which of the following is true ifa compa ny’s product is good?A) The company’s stock price may go up.5. Why does the speaker mention BCD Enterprises?D) BCD is used as an example to illustrate the stock market principlesSpeaking OutMODEL 1 The stock market is driven by fear and greed.Chris: Nora!Nora: Hey Chris. Why the big grin? You look like the cat that swallowed the canary.Chris: Even better. An uncle I hardly knew passes away and left an inheritance of ＄100,000. So now I’m thinking of making some investments.Nora: Good idea, thouh it would be more fun if we spent it together. What sort of investment do you have in mind?Chris: The stock market is looking attractive. It’s been a bear market for several years now, and I think stock prices are pretty depressed.Nora: The decling market has investors depressed,too.Chris: But all things work in cycles. A bear market will eventually be followed by a bull market.Nora: That’s sure. I’ve been reading that investors are coming back to themarket, and that will drive up the value of stocks.Chris: I believe the market is picking up.Nora: But there’s still a risk. Wars, weather problems—all these impact incestors’ confidence.Chris: I know what you mean. The stock market is driven by fear snd greed. When investors are cinfident od making of a fortune, they buy—that’s greed at work.Nora: But along comes something to shake their confidence…Chris: Like a rise in interest rates, for example, and bingo, they become afraid that they might lose their shares, so they pull out of the market.Now Your TurnA: I’ve saved a lot of money over the past years, and now I’d like to invest it fo r a profit.B: What sort of investment do you have in mind?A: The stock market is looking attractive. It’s been a bear market for several years now, and I think stock prices are pretty depressed.B: The falling market has discouraged many investors.A: But all things work in cycles. A bear market will eventually be followed by a bull market.B: That’s true. When the market does touch its bottom, it’ll rebound.A: I hope the investors will soon come back to the market and drive it up. B: But there’re stil l risks. Wars, weather problems—all these affect buyers’ confidence.We’re not sure if the market has reached its bottom.A: The bear market has lasted over four years; I think it’s time for it to pick up.B: It’s really hard to say. The Japanese stock mar ket has had a bear run of about ten years.A: Really?B: And when NASDAQ fell from 5,000 points to 3,000 points, some people believe it was a golden opportunity to enter the market. Then the market plunged.A: So the stock market is really risky. I may lose money.B: And maybe even your shirts.A: Well, perhaps I’d better put my money on the bank.The stock has to be launched.Helen: You know, this has been a privately owned company since we first opened last year and, to be honest with you, I’m inclined in keeping in that way. Bill: But the market is changing rapidly, and we need to think long term and take proactive measure; otherwise, we’ll find ourselves behind the competition. Helen: That’s a good point; perhaps I should be more open—minded about this. Bill: Don’t you think you’re a little short of funds at the moment?Helen: That’s true.Bill: You simply can’t afford to upgrade your facilities without considerab le outside investment. The bank won't lend you the money.Helen: I haven’t tried it.Bill: Even if it did, the interest rate for that much capital would be more we could afford. I’m convinced, the only way to generate the funds we need is to go public.Helen: What should I do then?Bill: A consultant will be coming in next week to explain the registration procedure for an IPO.Helen: That’s great because I want to have a thoroughunderstanding of what this entails before any decisions are made.Bill: The important point is that you have to demonstrate you’re financially qualified to be listed on t he stock market.Now Your TurnA: Mr. Smith, though your company has grown fast few years, the market is changing the rapidly. So you need to think the long term and take proactive measures; otherwise, you’ll find it behind the competition.B: You’re quite right, but can you be more specific about what we must do? A: Don’t you think your company is a bit short of funds to expand production at the moment.B: That’s right.A: You simply can’t afford to upgrade your facilities without large external investments.B: Perhaps I have to borrow money from the bank.A: It won’t lend you so much money.B: I haven’t tried it.A: Even if you got a loan, the interest rate for large sum would be more than you can afford. I’m convinced, the only way to gather funds you need is to go to public.B: What should I do then?A: Let me explain the requirements for an IPO.B: I’m all ears. I want to have a thorough understanding of what this entailsbefore I make further decisions.A: The important point is that you have to demonstrate that you are financially qualified to be launched on the stock market. You must show you have a capital of 50 million yuan.B: Our company does have that amount of money. Are there other requirements?A: You have to prove that the company has been making a profit in the past three years. It’s also essential that there are no false financial reports.B: Ok, no problem. I’ll try to go through the Registration procedure to get our company listed.MODEL 3 Nothing is certain n the stock marketSusan: Hey, Chris, have you read the paper today?Chris: No. why? What’s up?Susan: The store market has dropped again.Chris: Oh, no! Not again! How many points did it lose this time?Susan: One hundred.Chris: Let’s see…that’s a drop of three percent. Well, there goes the money I was going to use to buy a new car.Susan: Before you get upset, I think you should look at the stock listings for today.Chris: What for?Susan: Well, some stocks actually gained, especially telecom stocks.Chris: Let me see that pa per. You’re right! My stock went up five percent overnight! That’s great!Susan: For now, anyway. It may plunge tomorrow.Chris: you’re right. I’m going to call my broker cash in my stocks. I’m not taking any more changes with my savings.Susan: You’re wisher than most people I know. Sometimes it’s better to play it safe.Now Your TurnA: Hey, Jack, I hear you become a millionaire by investing in the stock market. But I always lose money in the market. Can you give me a few tips?B: First o f all, let’s look at the stock listing in today’s newspaper.A: Wow, the stock market dropped again.B: What stock did you buy?A: BCD.B: How many points did it lose this time?A: More than a hundred.B: Let’s see…That’s a drop of nearly five percent.A: Oh, there goes a lot of my money. I’m thinking about pulling out of the market.B: Before you get upset, I’d like to give you some advice.A: What’s that?B: Well, the market is cycli cal. Through you’re losing money now, your stock may gain in future. Personally, I believe your stock is a good one. You’d better keep it until it goes up one day.A: So I can’t make money in a short time?B: Let’s look at XYZ stock. It’s now a junk stock,but it’s been low for a long time. It may climb up at any moment.A: So, I’ll buy it and wait for it to go up.B: And cash in your stock when it reaches a point that is high enough to give youa profit. My basic principle is to buy at the bottom and sell at the peak.A: I see. I’ll buy low and sell high. But what if XYZ plunge s again after I buy it? B: You have to take changes. There’s always risk in the stock market.Let’s TalkGregory: I’ve been thinking about getting into the stock market, but I don’t know where to start. What do you knowabout buying stocks?Sylvia: Well, I have a few investments, so I know a little about it. Now it is probably a good time to invest. The market is low; prices are probably pretty good.Gregory: So you mean it’s high time to enter the market? What kind of stock do you suggest?Sylvia: I won’t recommend any specific stock. You have to make the decision on your own. If you want to make money quickly, you could try speculating. Gregory: What do you mean by speculating?Sylvia: You buy stocks that go up quickly for a fast profit.Gregory: Isn’t tha t risky? Stocks that go up fast also tend to go down fast. Sylvia: You just have to guess how high they’ll go, and then sell when you think they are about to come down. If you guess right, you can make lots of money in the blink of an eye.Gregory: But I hear that many people guess wrong. When they think the market is already very low, they start to buy. Then the market continues to drop. Sylvia: In that case you will lose your shirt. But to make money, you have to take changes.Gregory: Hmm, I’m not much of a gambler.Sylvia: So you probably want to stick to blue chip stocks for a guaranteereturn on your investment.Gregory: That sounds right up my alley.Gregory is thinking about getting into the stock market and wants to know how to buy stocks.Sylvia say the market is low, so prices are probably pretty good.Gregory sees it is high time to enter the market.Sylvia Suggest speculating, which means buying stocks that go up quickly and then selling quickly for a fast profit.Gregory finds it risky because stocks that go up fast also tend to go down fast. Sylvia says that he has to guess how high they will go and then sells when he thinks they’re about to come down.Gregory hears that many people guess wrong. When they start to buy, the market continues to drop.Sylvia says that, to make money, he has to take changes.Gregory admits that he is not much of a gambler.Sylvia suggests that he stick to the blue chip stocks for a guaranteed return on his investment.DiscussionA: I’m renting an apartment. If you go on like this, I’ll never have an apartment of my own. So I’m thinking buying an apartment, but I don’t know whether it’s good time to invest in property.B: Soon it’ll be high time to buy houses. There’s been good news for buyers lately.A: What’s it?B: in the light of the speculative investment in real estate, the government has recently issued a number of rules. For example, those who sell newly—bought apartment have to pay a tax. So probably fewer people are willing to speculate in the real estate market, and the housing prices will drop.A: I have to wait and see. I would be glad even if the prices just remain stable. Any other good news?B: Some people propose bypassing the real estate developers. They want to pool their funds to build their own apartment buildings. In this way they can cut the costs by a bigmargin.A: Sounds interesting, though I’m not sure if it’s practical. About when do you think I should buy an apartment?B: Pretty soon. I guess the prices will fall soon.A: I want to know exactly when. Shall I buy it next week or next month?B: You just have to guess how low the prices will go, and then buy at the right time.A: It’s a bit risky because I may guess wrong. After I buy an apartment, the price may plunge again.B: You have to take changes and make the decision on your own.A: Hmm, I’m not much of a gambler. Perhaps I’ll wait and see and continue to live in the rented apartment.B: There’s also risk in this. It’s not altogether impossible that housing prices will move up a little bit. If that’s the case, you’ll have to pay even more in the future. A: My God, there are risks everywhere! So you’ve told me next to nothi ng.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: what do you know about NASDAQ?As the world’s largest electronic, NASDAQ i s not limited to one trading location.Rather, trading is executed through NASDAQ’s complex computer and telecommunication network, which sends real—time quote and trade data to more than 1.3 million users in 83 countries. Without size and location limitat ions, NASDAQ’s open market structure allows a virtually unlimited number of participants to trade in a company’s stock.Today, NASDAQ lists the securities of nearly 4,100 of the world’s leading companies, and each year it continues to helphundreds of companies go public. Trading on NASDAQ is not limited to any fixed number of participants. This allows a large number of firms with widely different business models and trading technologies to connect to the NASDAQ network and compete on an equal basis. Rather than forcing investors to go through a single financial firms called makers. More than 500 market making firms trade on NASDAQ, acting ad distributors for NASDAQ-listed securities. Those market makers are unique in that they invest own capital in NASDAQ-listed securities, and then turn around and distribute the stock as needed. They are required at all times to post their bid and ask prices in the NASDAQ network where they can be viewed by all participants. By being willing to buy or sell stock using their own funds, the market makers strengthen NASDAQ’s market, ensuing that there are always buyers and sellers for NASDAQ-listed securities and enabling trades to be filled quickly and efficiently.1. How many participants does NASDAQ allow to trade in one com pany’s stock?D) An unlimited number.2. What does NASDAQ’s computer and telecommunications network do?C) It immediately sends quote and trade information to over1.3 million users.3. According to the passage, which of the following is true of NASDAQ?A) It has launched more than 4,000 companies.4. What role do the market makers play?B) They buy and sell NASDAQ stocks to help strengthen the market.5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The operation of NASDAQ.Task 2: Stockbroker as LiquidatorIn the midst of the shaky market of last week, many brokers got calls from their clients requesting they sell their shares. One broker told such a story:One of my clients called me on Thursday. He was anxious and out of breath, and spoke with great urgency.He said to me, “Jone, sell it all. Sell everything, fast, right away.”I tried to explain to him that the market was cyclical, and that in the long term stocks would return to normal.He said, “John, let me tell you a secret. You know I’ve been married for sixty years now, and I’ve been your client for five.”“Yes, go on.” I said encouragingly.“Well, my wife Lucie has a s ort of phobia about the market. When we got married, I promised her that I would follow in her parents’ footsteps an d never venture into the stock market and always leave all our money under the mattress. Her great grandparents once lost everything in a great crash, and ever since then her family found investing in the market similar to crime.”“Wow, Howard, I didn’t kno w that. I guess you want the money because themarket is going down.”“No, John, I want the money because she ordered a new mattress, and i t is being delivered in two days.”Task 3: A Stock Market CrashA stock market crash is a dramatic loss of shares of corporations. Crashes often follow speculative stock market bubbles such as the dot-com boom.After the most famous crash in 1929, known as the BlackThursday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 50%, there came the Great Depression. The following years saw the Dow drop a total of over 85%.There was also a crash on Monday, October 19, 1987, known in financial circles as the Black Monday, when the Dow lost 22%of its value in a single day, bringing to an end a five-year bull run. The pattern was repeated across the world.The stock market downturn of 2002 was part of a larger bear market that took the NASDAQ 75%from its highs and broader indices down 30%.Stock market crashes are driven by panic as much as by economics factors. They often follow stock market bubbles. So long as the prospect of further daily drops in the value stocks continues, those who invest in equities will be discouraged. If few people are willing to make further investments, a bear market is expected to persist.News ReportWorsening Bank AssetsMany of the traditional quantitative indicators suggest that bank asset quality isdeteriorating, and that supervisors therefore need to be more sentitive to problems at individual banks, both currently and in the months ahead.Some of the credits that were made in earlier periods of optimism—especially syndicated loans—are now under pressure and scrutiny. The softening economy and all special circumstances have especially affected borrowers in the retail, manufacturing, health care and telecommunication industries. California utilities, as you know, have also been under particular pressure. All of these, and no doubt other problem areas that arenot now of foreseeable, require that both bank management and supervisors remain particularly alert to development.We are fortunate enough that our banking system entered this period of weak economic performance in a strong position. After rebuilding capital and liquidity in the early 1990s, followed by several years of post-World War II record profits and very strong loan growth, our banks now have prudent capital and reserve positions.In addition, asset quality was quite good by historical standards before the deterioration began.Building on banking practices, we are in the process of improving both lending and supervisory policies that we trust will foster better risk management; but these policies could also reduce the pro-cyclical pattern of easing and tightening of bank lending and accordingly increase bank shareholder values and economic stability. It is an easy road, Mr. Chairman, but it seems that we are well along it.。

Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true!Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Who was Martin?2. According to Martin, who did Thomas' father leave his money to?3. What did Thomas and his father argue about?4. How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5.

Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows,external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency? W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

Think on its various characteristics:its material,its function,its color,and so on. Don’t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself.It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So,try holding your breath for ten seconds,and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example,if youcannot remember a person’s name,you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What’s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one’s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes:1A2.C3.D4.B5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1I t slipped my mind!Amy:I sent out the invitations to the dinner party.Bill:That’s good.Now what should we do?Amy:We’ve got to plan the menu.Bill:Oh,that’s right.Do you have anything in mind?Amy:I think I’m going to make the chicken salad we had at the Christmas party.Remember I sled the chef for the recipe?Bill:Yeah,but did you forget that Linda doesn’t eat chicken?Amy:Linda?Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite Linda!It just slipped my mind.She’ll be mad at me.Bill:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.It’s not too late yet.I’ll make a phone call.Don’t worry.Amy:Thanks!You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!Bill:Looks like you are,sweetheartNow Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA:I’m going to throw a party,and I’ve sent out the invitations to my friends and relatives.B:That’s good.But don’t forget to invite everyone you should invite.A:I think I’ve invited everyone.Do you have anybody in mind?B:Did you invite John?He’s lost his job after recent quarrel with his boss.A:Oh,my gosh!I forgot to invite him!He’ll be sad,thinking we look down on him.He just slipped my mind.B:Well,everyone forgets something sometimes.Don’t worry.It’s not too late.Makea phone call right away.A:Did I forget anybody else that I should incite?B:There’s yet another person you should invite—Julia.She’s just moved to the city and feels lonely.A:Oh,good heavens,I forgot all about her.She’s our new friend.You see,I’m getting forgetful.I think I’m getting old!B:Looks like you are,buddy.You’d better start writing things down if they’re important.can’’t think of it off the top of my head.

Professor:There you go.The more you apply the ideas,the easier it gets.Besides creating pictures,there’s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association.Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax,and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel,the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student:Oh my gosh!I have to run.It’s time my English class.I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom.Many thanks,Professor.Professor:Not at all,and good luck with your memory.Ways of Improving OneOne’’sMemoryExamplesCreating images To remember the items tobuy sat the grocery storesuch as carrots,eggs,bananas,and milkImages that you may help:1.a giant carrot and abanana hanging from it2.a giant milk cartonpouring milk over thecarrot and banana3.an egg-shaped UFOflying across the skyEstablishing associations To find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1.The sound of the keysmight remind you ofy\having placed then ina drawer.2.The cold touch of thekeys might remind youof them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview,the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview,creating images helps remember things.If your shopping list includes eggs,you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest.If you get interested in something,you can remember it better.B:Yeah.And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups,you can remember them better.For instance,if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy.If,however,you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln,those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt,and those after,then the task will be less difficult.A:It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly,you tend to forget it quickly.If you stuffy it slowly,you can remember it better.B:Another technique is intensive practice or repeating.As a saying goes,practice makes perfect.If you repeat something again and again,you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard.When we get tired,our learning efficiency declines.We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1:The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life,scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory,Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with,you must take special care in your daily life.Food for example,is very important.Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly.They are found in bread,cereal,vegetables and fruits.Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory,but others have doubts about this,arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work.Another essential factor is water.It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons.According to Dr.Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory;it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties.Sleep also plays a significant role.To be able to have a goof memory,we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest.While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses,and starts to revise and store the information one has ck of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one’s ability to concentrate.Also,one’ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys:1.A2.B3.D4.D5.CTask2:Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story,while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks,tea or dinner.On this particular spring night,they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening,it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there,they offered to put him up for the night.They pointed out that by staying overnight,he did not need to go to out in the bad weather.He agreed on the soundness of that idea,thanked his hosts profusely,and the matter seemed to be settled.But while they were washing the dishes after supper,the forgetful professor disappeared.No one could find him anywhere.Eventually,after40minutes,the front door bell rang.There was the professor,soaked to the skin.When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain,he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight,he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3:How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop,and the voice on the other end of the line tells you,“This is Don Smith”.About5minutes later you tell your wife that“this guy”will be out to fix the TV in the morning.You can’t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it.To do this,you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person.This action will remind you to store the name in your“memory bank”each time you hear someone’s name,and within a short time the“repeating”process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person,use the same procedure,and in addition,visualize something different,unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance,position,or actions that“ties in“with his or her ter,you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side.Look at it repeatedly, see the“picture”in your mind’s eye as you look at the name;or when you see he name,visualize the“picture”you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking,and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man’s mostfriend,the dolphin.The“Dolphins on Parade”exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials.The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach.Sponsors paid U.S.$750to cover the artists’fee and the cost of materials.There were more than100dolphin themes,including a beer-belly dolphin.They showed the work of local artists,as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist,Pandora.Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin,art the Dolphin Research center,in Marathon,Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe[Florida]Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center.The paintings were to be auctioned off in March,with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II.Basic Listening Practice3.ScriptW:Have you chosen your elective for next semester yet?Are you taking French writing again?M:Yes I am,but it’s compulsory for us next semester.So I think I’m gong to do marketing as an elective instead.Q:Which class will the man choose as his elective?4.ScriptM:Did you go to that businesses lecture on Friday?I missed it and need to copy your notes.W:I’d say you could borrow my notes,but Sarah’s got them.Be careful not to miss Professor Brown’s seminar;he takes attendance in that.Q:What is the woman telling the man?3.ScriptW:Wow,Steven!In the library!What brings you here?M:I’m enjoying the view.All the girls in fashion design are here are preparing for an exam on Monday.Q:Why is the man in the library?4.ScriptW:How’s your group doing with this statistics presentation?Mine’s terrible.M:Yeah,mine too.David and Mike are OK,but Steven doesn’t pull his weight and Suzie’s never around.I don’t see how we can pass unless Steven and Suzie realize that this is their last chance.Q:What is the true of Steven and Suzie?5.ScriptW:You took an MBA at Harvard Business School,didn’t you?What’s it like?M:It’s expensive,about U.S.$40,000a year,plus the costs of food and housing.But the teaching is first class.The professors have a lot of practical experience.Theyuse the case system of teaching;that is,you study how actual businesses grew or failed.Q:Why is he MBA teaching in Harvard Business School first class,according to the conversation?Keys:1.C2.D3.B4.D5.AIII.Listening InTask1:On the First DayScriptHarrison:I’m Harrison.Good to meet you.So you’ve bought the books for this biology class.Jenny:Sure,I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison:ually no one does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop. Jenny:What’s that?Harrison:Changing from class to class to find out which one is best.Hey,where are you from?Jenny:Poland.Have you has this teacher before?I’ve heard he is really good. Harrison:He’s good if you’re a hand-worker.He expects a lot.Jenny:Oh,I guess that’s good.I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class.Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison:You’re welcome.…Professor:All right.See you guys next week.Student:See you.Jenny:Harrison,wait up!Harrison:So what do you think about the professor’s lecture?Jenny:I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison:That’s all right.A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny:Hey,would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison:No problem.We don’t have class until Wednesday.Here you go.Jenny:Thanks.I just want to make sure I’m prepared for the seminar. Harrison:Yeah,participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class,Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it’s still add-drop,which means students are changing from class to class.Jenny knows the professor is really good.But Harrison warns her that the professor is good,only if students are hand-workers,for he expects a lot.After class,Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head,and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading. When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes,he says“on problem”,for they don’t have class until Wednesday.Finally,Harrison says participation in the discussio n at the seminar is an important part of the education there.Task2:Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student.He likes to have fun.But having fun was expensive,so he was rapidly running out of money.There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi,Mom.I certainly miss you and Dad.I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course.We have to buy two new textbooks.I’m going to need$100.”“I understand,”said his mother,“I’ll send you the money right away.You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago.Shall I mail that at the same time?”“Oh,yeah.Thanks,”Robert said.Robert’s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks,and mailed it to Robert that very day.When she returned from the post office,her husband was waiting for her.“Well,how much did you give the boy this time?”asked Dad.“I send two checks:one for$100and the other for$1,100,”answered Mom.“You’re outing your mind,”yelled Dad,“That’s$1,100.He’ll just spend that in a couple of weeks.He’s never going to learn the value of money that way.”“Don’t worry,honey,”Mom said,“I taped the$100check to the cover of his book, but I put the$1,000one between the pages in Charper13!”Keys:TFFFTTask3:How to Get Straight A’sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence.Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First,they know how to set priorities.Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on,phone calls go unanswered,TV shows unwatched,snacks ignored.Study is business,and business comes before recreation.Also,good students can study anywhere and everywhere.Claudia Hill,an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day.Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term.Thenhe posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom.He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth.Eventually,he scored high on the final examination.Moreover,top students schedule their time well.Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference.Some work late at night when the house is quiet.Others awake early.Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds.All agreed,however,on the need for consistency.A student says,“Whatever I was doing,I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.”Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A’s,the secret of good reading is to be “an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author’s message”.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting tostudy?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by“an active reader”?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes:1B2.C3.D4.A5.DIV.Speaking OutMODEL1Y ou ou’’re just going to have study hardNora:Only our first day back at school,and already I feel like I’ve learned a lot. Chris:Only our first day back at school,and I already feel like I’m up to my ears in homework.Nora:You’re going to if you want to keep your grades up. Chris:Tell me about it!I already have two reports,two books reports,a composition, an oral report,and a research project—all due before midterms.Nora:We could work together.Maybe some of my organized study habit would rub off on you.Chris:Better yet,maybe you could do my homework for me.Nora:Forget it!That would be cheating.Chris:All right,all right.I have yet to write a term paper.Can you recommend any articles and books?You’d better find me the exact pages where I can find whatI want.Nora:You could borrow ideas from references,but if you quote without giving the sources,you’re plagiarizing.Chris:The quiz next week will be a headache.If you don’t help me,I’ll have to。

You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journalthat studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about princi pleslike ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notesright after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new materialinto what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swearthis weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principleof ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind ofwhat is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principleof ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notesafter class and absorbing the new material into what one hasalready learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, thedoctor told them that theywere physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to theol d man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖ “Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖“Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖“Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer,learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learnto play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. Theseadded activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, youcan take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think onits various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mindwhile you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then releaseit slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory.For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you canthink about a special feature of his face and then link it withhis mane.1. What‘s seems to be an especially important way tostimulate one‘s memory?2. What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3. How can you concentrate on a pen?4.

Let‘s TalkScriptStudent: Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultly memorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could you give us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers thingsbetter if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up several items at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you can create a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, a banana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana. Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student: Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky.Professor: There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful.Student: What is it?Professor: Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with those keys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student: How will that help?Professor: You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then in a drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them.Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks, Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.Ways of Impro ving One‘s Memory ExamplesCreating imagesTo remember the items to buy sat the grocery store such as carrots, eggs, bananas, and milk Images that you may help:1.a giant carrot and a banana hanging from it2. a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana3. an egg-shaped UFO flying across the skyEstablishing associationsTo find your lost keys Associations with sound touch that may help:1. The sound of the keys might remind you of y\having placed then in a drawer.2. The cold touch of the keys might remind you of them in your jacket.DiscussionSAMPLEA: As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B: And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A: Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If,however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget it quickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A: But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essentialfactor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems,especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep alsoplays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, wemust allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise andstore the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Why are foods important in promoting memory according tothe passage?3. To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4. What problem can a lack of water cause?5. Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple whooften entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. Onthis particular spring night, they have invited a retiredprofessor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain,and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while theywere washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong inthe rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory,right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖ each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, andin addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―tiesin ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptive information on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye asyou look at the name; or when you see he name, visualizethe ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover theartists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.Uint2II. Basic Listening Practice1.

Listening InTask1: On the First DayScriptHarrison: I‘m Harrison. Good to meet you. So you‘ve bought the books for this biology class. Jenny: Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop.Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which oneis best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right.

Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here.Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much on the first day because it‘sstill add-drop, which means students are changing from class to class. Jenny knows the professor is really good. But Harrison warns her that the professor is good, only if students are hand-workers, for he expects a lot.After class, Jenny admits that half of what the professor said went over her head, and Harrison assures her that a lot of what the professor said is explained in the reading.When Jenny asks to borrow Harrison notes, he says ―on problem‖, for they don‘t have class until Wednesday. Finally, Harrison says participation in the discussion at the seminar is an importantpart of the education there.Task 2: Money for CollegeScriptRobert is a university student. He likes to have fun. But having fun was expensive, so he was rapidly running out of money. There was nothing to do to try to call his mother for help.“Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course. We have to buy two new textbooks. I‘m going to need $100.‖“I understand,‖ said his mother, ―I‘ll send you the money right away. You left your calculus book here when you were home two weeks ago. Shall I mail that at the same time?‖“Oh, yeah. Thanks,‖ Robert said.Robert‘s mother made up a parcel with the calculus book and two checks, and mailed it to Robert that very day. When she returned from the post office, her husband was waiting for her. “Well, how much did you give the boy this time?‖ asked Dad.“I send two checks: one for $100 and the other for $1, 100,‖ answered Mom.“You‘re outing your mind,‖ yelled Dad, ―That‘s $1,100. He‘ll just spend that in a couple of weeks. He‘s never going to learn the value of money that way.‖“Don‘t worry, honey,‖ Mom said, ―I taped the $100 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one between the pages in Charper13!‖Keys: TFFFTTask3: How to Get Straight A‘sScriptIt is interesting to note how straight A students achieve academic excellence. Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency.A student says, ―Whateve r I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an ac tive reader-one whocontinually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?2. What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?3. What is the good thing all top students agree on?4. What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?5. What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3. D 4.A 5.DIV.

On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart to earn more money. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job, money is the top priority.8. Do you think one’s character is important in finding ajob? Why or why not?I think it is . although many employers lay emphasis on candidates’educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates’ character is equallyimportant for a successful career . In contemporary society, many projects are so large that that require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person’s effort, therefore, a good team player is often welcomed . professionally skilled people may not be able to accomplish a large project if they are easily angered and cannot get along with thieir colleagues .If you want to assume a leading position, you should be fim on important issues while allowing your subordinates plenty of freedom. In fact is becoming increasingly common for companies to test candidates’EQ(wmotional quotient)before they decide to hire them.9. Do you want to e a boss who is starting a company or an employee with a high salary?Different peoele may have different choices. Some people may put a regular job above good pay for a variety of reasons .employees usually know what they are supposed to do and have a fairly stabel life with a high-paying job, they and their familes can live a comfortable life. When they have accumulated enough money , they can start a business when conditions are favorable. On the other hand, many people want to set up a business of their own right now. Indeed, launching a company involves a lot of effort. What is worse, there is risk, but they like challenges. By trying to establish a company. Not only may they make lots of monty , they can also debelop their abilities to overcome difficulties.10. What kind of boss would you like to work for: one who is inefficient but kind, or one who is is efficient but very strict with employees ?Many people, if not most, prefer to work for a kind, good-natured boss. Under such a boss, they feel secure and happy. The boss won’t scold employees simply because they have made a small mistake. He will also be generous. It is true that sometimes because of his lack of ability, his company may not reap huge profits, and employees can hardly get a raise. But happiness is surely more important than money.However some people, inculding me, will choose to work for a boss who is capable but very strict with his subodinates. If the boss is capable, he will lead the company to one new height after another. When the company thrives, all employees will benefit . even if the boss may give an employee a severe dressing-down for something he or she did , the employee can learn a lesson fron the event . under such a boss , employees can gain valuable experience, which may serve as a good foundation for them to start a business of their own in the future.。

You tried to pay last turn, but your credit card failed; so I ended up paying! It‘s definitely your turn.Q: What is true according to the conversation?2.ScriptM: I‘m having real trouble reviewing for this French exam. I just can‘t memorize all the vocabulary.W: Me too. I hate having to learn things by heart.I guess we just have to keep reading the texts over and over.Q: What does the woman prefer?3. ScriptW: Oh look! There‘s that guy we saw last week, playing football in the park! He looked great in his kit, remember?M: Him? I don‘t remember him. I‘ve got a terrible memory for faces. I have a hard time even recording people I‘ve been introduced to.Q: According to the conversation, what is the man‘s problem?4. ScriptM: Why is there a big sign on the back of your door that says ―keys‖?W: It‘s to remind me to take my keys when I go out because I‘m always locking myself out by accident! It doesn‘t help enough. Now I just forget to read the sign. Q: Why is there a sign on the back of the door?5. ScriptM: That history exam was really hard. The essay question was terrible!W: I know, I wish I were like David. He has a photographic memory, you know. How useful that would be!Q: What is true of David?Keys: 1.C 2.D 3. A 4.B 5.CIII. Listening InScriptM: Tell me your secret. Y ou‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W:Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: A w, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: Y ou‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖.Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve got a memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is likea muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. Y ou‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖ replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remember a person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Let’s TalkScriptStudent:Professor, thank you for graining me this interview. I‘m Susan, a reporter from the Student Union magazine. Many students have difficultlymemorizing things. Since you‗re an outstanding psychologist, could yougive us some tips on how top improve our memory?Professor: Well, some people have better memories than others, but that‘s largely because they are better at creating mental images.Student: If I‘m not good at creating images, what can I do?Professor: Practice helps. And the mind remembers things better if they are connected with other images. For example, I you have to pick up severalitems at the grocery store, say, carrots, egg, bananas, and milk, you cancreate a picture in your mind of a giant carrot, and hanging from it, abanana.Student: Then I could have a giant milk carton pouring milk over the carrot and banana.Professor: Certainly. Then what would you do with the egg?Student:Hmmm. I‘d visualize an egg-shaped UFO flying across the sky. Professor:There you go. The more you apply the ideas, the easier it gets. Besides creating pictures, there‘s another technique that is very useful. Student:What is it?Professor:Establishing an association. Suppose you are looking for lost keys.Relax, and let your mind look for all the images connected with thosekeys--their feel, the sounds they make.Student:How will that help?Professor:You might remember the sound the keys made when you placed then ina drawer or cold touch of the keys in your jacket were you left them. Student: Oh my gosh! I have to run. It‘s time my English class. I see an image of my teacher staring at my empty seat in the classroom. Many thanks,Professor.Professor: Not at all, and good luck with your memory.DiscussionSAMPLEA:As we just heard from the interview, the technique of associating certainly important in promoting memory.B:And according to the interview, creating images helps remember things. If your shopping list includes eggs, you might visualize an egg or an egg-shaped UFO flying across.A:Another important factor in improving memory can be of interest. If you get interested in something, you can remember it better.B: Yeah. And if you recognize facts into meaningful groups, you can remember them better. For instance, if you want to memorize all the names of American presidents, it is not easy. If, however, you arrange them chronologically into three periods: those before Abraham Lincoln, those between Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt, and those after, then the task will be less difficult.A: It is common sense that if you glance at something quickly, you tend to forget itquickly. If you stuffy it slowly, you can remember it better.B: Another technique is intensive practice or repeating. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. If you repeat something again and again, you will eventually learn it by heart.A:But we should not work too hard. When we get tired, our learning efficiency declines. We need breaks so the mind can rest and absorb what has been learned.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptSince memory plays a significant role in our life, scrientists are increasingly interested in research on how to improver memory, Here are some factors they believe to be important to expanding memory capacity.To begin with, you must take special care in your daily life. Food for example, is very important. Some vitamins are essential foe your memory to work properly. They are found in bread, cereal, vegetables and fruits. Some experts say that synthesizes vitamins improve memory, but others have doubts about this, arguing that the studies have not confirmed they do work. Another essential factor is water. It helps to maintain the memory systems, especially in older persons. According to Dr. Roswell, lack of water in the body has an immediate and strong effect on memory; it can cause confusion and other thought difficulties. Sleep also plays a significant role. To be able to have a goof memory, we must allow the brain to have plenty of rest. While sleeping, the brain no longer controls the senses, and starts to revise and store the information one has receives. Lack of sleep would make one feel exhausted and would weaken one‘s ability to concentrate. Also, one‘ ability to store information would be affected.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Why are foods important in promoting memory according to the passage?3.To whom is water especially important in maintaining the memory system?4.What problem can a lack of water cause?5.Why is sleep important to memory?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.D 5.CTask 2: Where did the professor go?ScriptThis is a true story, while happened to friends of ours in a small town in South Africa. They were a hospitable couple who often entertained their neighbors for drinks, tea or dinner. On this particular spring night, they have invited a retired professor to super. During the evening, it began to pour with rain, and the heavens really opened. Because he had walked there, they offered to put him up for the night. They pointed out that by staying overnight, he did not need to go to out in the bad weather. He agreed on the soundness of that idea, thanked his hosts profusely, and the matter seemed to be settled. But while they were washing the dishes after supper, the forgetful professor disappeared. No one could find him anywhere. Eventually, after40 minutes, the front door bell rang. There was the professor, soaked to the skin. When he was asked what on earth he has been dong in the rain, he replied that because he was going to stay there overnight, he had gone home to get his pajamas and toothbrush.Task3: How to Remember NamesScriptYou just called the TV repair shop, and the voice on the other end of the line tells you, ―This is Don Smith‖.About 5 minutes later you tell your wife that ―this guy‖will be out to fix the TV in the morning. You can‘t think of his mane although you know he mentioned it on the phone.This happens all the time to just about any of us unless we have learned to concentrate and implant a name in our memory, right at the time we hear it. To do this, you must make a habit of repeating the name back to the person. This action will remind you to store the name in your ―memory bank‖each time you hear someone‘s name, and within a short time the ―repeating‖ process can be discontinuedWhen you meet someone in person, use the same procedure, and in addition, visualize something different, unusual or ridiculous about hid or her appearance, position, or actions that ―ties in ―with his or her name. Later, you may write the descriptiveinformation on one side of a card and the name in the other side. Look at it repeatedly, see the ―picture‖ in your mind‘s eye as you look at the name; or when you see he name, visualize the ―picture‖ you have assigned to the name.Getting this system to work will require changes in your thinking, and it may take several days or several weeks to become proficient.News ReportA Dolphin ExhibitionScriptA recent art exhibition in Florida honored the animal often seen as man‘s most intelligent friend, the dolphin.The ―Dolphins on Parade‖ exhibition in the Florida Keys featured life-sized decorates dolphin paintings made of wood and the cost of materials. The dolphins were shown at area business and along the beach. Sponsors paid U.S. $750 to cover the artists‘ fee and the cost of materials.There were more than 100 dolphin themes, including a beer-belly dolphin. They showed the work of local artists, as well as the beach atmosphere the Keys are famous for.Probably the most unique was special because of its artist, Pandora. Pandora the dolphin painter is area dolphin, art the Dolphin Research center, in Marathon, Florida. The playful artist streaks colors across a dolphin painting holding a brush in its mouth.The exhibition was held by the Monroe [Florida] Council of the Arts as part of a plan to make the Keys an international arts center. The paintings were to be auctioned off in March, with the money earned going to community art programs.。
