But as scientists studied different populations, loneliness kept emerging as a risk factor. In one study, Californian researchers followed 4700 residents of Alameda County for 10 years, starting in 1965 At first, the participants reported their key sources of companionship and estimated the time they devoted to each other. During the study, the people who reported the least social contact died at nearly three times the rate of those reporting the most. The source of companionship didn't matter, but time spent with others was critical.Since then, researchers have studied men, women, soldiers and students from countries all over the world. And the same pattern keeps emerging . Women who say they fell isolate go on to die of cancer at several times the expected rate. College students who report "strained and cold" relationships with their parents suffer extraordinary rates of hypertension and heart disease decades later, Heart-attach survivors who happened to live by themselves die at twice the rate of those live with othersFor those of us who are still healthy the lesson should be obvious, It’s clear that reaching out to other can have our body strong. It's equally clear that we're growing more isolated. In 1900sOnly 5 percent of U.S. consisted of the person living alone. The proportion reached 13 percent in 1960s, and it stands at 25 percent today.----------------------6The woman believes someone has been stealing from the company.The man has stolen from his employerTo bribe the customs peopleThe woman has stolen somethingRich criminals go freeThe man doesn't know if it's good for the police to carryA mistake made concerning a shootingAdditional instructions270 millionEmployer and employeeA bribeBecause he pays her so little for her workShe is crazyThe man will not say anything about the theftEmployer and employeeReason for different treatment of criminalsPunishment is based upon violence of the crimeBlue-collar crime requires violenceA mugger who uses a knifeIt is reasonable and fairA method for solving the problem of government corruptionBy handing over bribe moneyCorrupt officials can't save themselves completelyThe plan starts to workNew acts passed by the governmentOlympic corruptionAn unhappy workerTo investigate the messLooking into the charges of corruptionCities have bribed officials in the pastEver since Philippine President Joseph Estrada was accused in October of accepting huge bribes, opposition pressure on him to resign has increased rapidly. On November 13, the House of Representatives voted to impeach him and declared he would face trial in the Senate.The bribery scandal broke at a press conference on October 9. At the press conference, Governor Luis Singapore of Ilocos Sur Province accused Estrada of illegally taking US $8 million in bribes from a gambling operation and getting US $2.7 million in tobacco taxes from that province. The Philipine House of Representatives reacted quickly. On October 1841 members put forward an act of impeachment against the President, listing many accusations of corruption, bribery, and using his office for personal gainThe House of Representatives formally started impeachment procedures on October 23. Meanwhile, the opposition has pushed for him to resign. On October 12, current vice-President Gloria M.Arroyo resigned as secretary of social welfare and urged the president to resign. Since then, the Sectary of Trade and Industry, the director-general of Grain Administration, and five economic advices to the President have resigned , And more than 40 members of the congress of Estrada's own party have announced that they would withdraw from the party, including the chairmen of Senate and the House of Representatives, and the chairmen of some committees in the House of Representatives . With such important members of the government and congress having transferred their allegiance, the opposition has been emboldened to organized large-scale mass rallies to ask the President to step down.Unit 7Genetics isn't most important to math skillsThe woman thinks racism is badThe ancestry of native AustraliansTheir genetic researchSimilar peoples fight against each otherThe speakers don't agree about the role of geneticsThe man thinks Molly's success is based on both genetics and effortSome people are more suited to a place than othersHusband and wifeA classroomDifferences between populationsThe person's genesThe father is wrong in his beliefsThe woman doesn't think genes makes one group better than anotherTeacher and studentA biotechnology companyGTG has interests in multiple countries around the world75.8%$1.5MRaised costs for researchThe truth we now know about gamesGenes are difficult to figure outA portion of DNA99.9%peopleNew developments in medical careThe full benefits of the genetic map have not yet been achievedBiotechnology companiesDiscrimination against peopleRich peopleAt present, it is believed that genes account for at least half of out general thinking ability. Looking for better genes for their children has become the major concern of many would-be parents. They hope they can have a choice of the baby's sex, its likely height, weight, hair, eye color, and intelligence Four months ago, an unnamed couple placed "wanted" advertisements in several students' newspapers run by high-fee, famous colleges where they might be able to find the genes they wanted for their children"Intelligent, athletic egg-donor needed for loving family," their advertisement read, "You must be at least 178 centimeters, strongly built, and possess no major family medical issues," And the reward? It was $50000The couple has disclosed that 300 women responded. And more than a hundred reached the stage of consideration : 20 from Yale, 30 from Harvard. 40 from Princeton, and 15 from StanfordWhat drew most attention was not the courage of the couple who advertised in these famous college newspapers, and not the principle of "eggs for sale", but the sum American egg donors expect to be paid. Until then, the going rate was about $3000 to $5000, plus all the costs of medical treatment and insurance. Their action raised " high-quality" donor eggs into a different price bracket, as high as $50000. This amount would meet almost half the cost of fees fo r the students’ four-year college course.

Authorities worried that the film director Zhang Yimou didin’t have the experience to handle such a project. Only after several mo nths did officials grant permission.Though Puccini had never visited China , he based his opera about a cruel princess in a fairy tale. The story was meant to unfold in the Forbidden City, against a Chinese background.The Beijing production was not traditional. Zhang introduced elements of Peking Opera to his version of Turandot, which was first staged in Florence last spring and then in Beijing. Last July Zhang Yimou told journalists ,”The Italian and Chinese cultures are just like two separate mountains, and my work is like a tunnel through which I can travel freely between the two.” Critics performers and audience alike were especially excited about the new introduction to the story.The story of Turandot , though against the Chinese background , is based on a European fairy story: A disguised prince seeks the hand of the proud and cruel Princess Turandot , who kills all suitors who cannot answer her turee riddles. Though the succeeds, the prince promises to sacrifice himself if Turandot can learn his name.Some Chinese critics have complained that the princess has none of the grace of a true Chinese lady.Nevertheless, it couold be said that Turandot was “coming home”, It was staged in front of an ancient temple adjacent to the Forbidden City.unit 10：EQHer employees can't make good use of their high IQThe man's EQ score is highThe man they are talking about got a low score on the IQ testTests of emotional abilitiesA problem the man hadThe man's EQ levelHer son has the abilities he needs to be successfulA classroomMother and sonA comparison of their intelligenceHe think his IQ is higherThe man's concept of intelligenceThe woman thinks her EQ is higherBrother and sisterNew understanding brought to us by twro researchersBecause it is held in high esteem by others in our societyEQ is more important than IQ in predicting successThere is a part of personality that was previously unconsideredThe capacity to comprehend emotionsThe man is having a job interviewHe studied English literatureAfter working for Fuji BankThe man has a job alreatyIn an officeHow to ger more from employeesThe difference between what can be done and what is doneThis passage is directed at managersTo be responsible for their workWorkers to produce good workWe've been driving home the theme that one rarely gets second chances.

英语口语总结（新视野大学英语4第二版）
英语口语总结（新视野大学英语4第二版）Unit1Some artists seeks for fame , but t hey don’t realized that chasing fame often leads to self destruction. However, it’s difficult for us to resist the temptation that fame brings us. Some gain fame quickly by developing a unique style with the help of agents. However, with the pressure to keep audience’s lasting enthusiasm, they lost their freedom to express themselves freely. And the example of Oscar Wilde exactly proved the view. There is a point that the greatest winners are those who initially failed in the conquest of fame, because they won freedom instead. With the example of Thomas Wolfe and Pestalozzi , we know that failure is the beginning of success. In a word, try to be happy in your lifetime instead of trying hard to achieve success.Unit2Chaplin is a great comedian not only for his motherland but also for the world. The character of “the tramp”made him famous, though the Tramp was considered a little crude at first. and his clothes gave him an appearance more like an Italian waiter than anything else. He resisted making a talking movie until 1936 when he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Chaplin achieved great success because he has the talent to explore and use his physical senses to invent his art. However, the collision between the need to be loved and the fear of being betrayed resulted in disaster in his emotional life which was shown in his movies. Eventually, life gave Chaplin the stable happiness, that is, his marriage with Oona O’Neil.Unit5While loneliness is very common in the U.S., few people want to admit it because it is considered as a sort of social disease. It is seen as admirable for American heroes to go alone into the wild areas and for poets and philosophers to seek out solitude. Some poets and philosophers, like William, Milton and Thoreau, enjoy inspiration from solitude. When an individual is solitary out of choice, the experience is less enjoyable. It is our basic need to talk to someone not only about the big things but also about the little daily things. As a consequence, lonely people will talk about the little things to themselves, the dog and, most embarrassingly , to total stranger s. Therefore, it’s important for ordinary people to stay rational, make themselves comfortable and find some grace and pleasure in their home.Unit6Bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries. Bribery indeed have become a fact of commercial life. We divide these payments into three broad categories. The first category consists of substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure major contracts. The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some projects. The third category involves payments made into countries where it is traditional to pay people to help with the passage of a business deal. There are some ways to prohibit bribery. ICC favors a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. Unfortunately, opinions differ among the members of ICC concerning how to enforce the code. Anyway, today’s businessman will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience.Unit10If a business does not adapt to changes in the businessenvironment, then it will fail. Recently it has been argued that smart but inflexible employees don’t necessarily have the abilities to adapt to this ever-changing environment. It would appear that flexibility and emotional intelligence rather than IQ is a more accurate measure of intelligence. It is also a more accurate predictor ofsuccess . This is an important point for businesses to understand because customers don’t really care about how highly intelligent a businessman is, they will take their business to wherever they are understood and respected . A business that staffed with people with a high Emotional Intelligence who have the ability to understand and relate well to others will succeed. All in all, EQ is the ticket for business success.。

In In In you you opinion, is this good or harmful? They have low wages and the development of the company in the future is poor.Above all,They think they are so young that they have many chances.It has some advantagesand a gre They can have higher wages,Widen their field of visionWiden their field of vision and a greater probability of successThe disadvantages are that they must establish theirCommunications again and make the employers lose their confidence77777777777The stock market has its advantages. When a company is listedon the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promoteits development. When many promising companies offer their shares tothe public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make falsefinancial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why? It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put their money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chineseseldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .Soperhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the banks . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in banks for guaranteed returns.。

What can we do to control our anger?1、Being looked down upon, be treated unfairly2、We may fly into rage when we were betrayed.3、The ads fooled you into buying low-quality goods . We were made fun of.

Is there any connection between depression and bad luck? Can depression be overcome?Depression is an extremely complex disease.Depression runs in family. If you have a family history of depression, you are more likely to get depression yourself.Those who suffer a serious illness and experience a stressful life event tend to feel depressed. Parents divorce, separate, and death can lead to depression. events like moving or changing schools.Not getting along well with the friends, colleagues and partners may cause depression.Those who have low self-esteem and a negative outlook are at higher risk of becoming depressed. People who feel that they have no control over negative events are very likely to become depressed.There seems to be a relationship between depression and bad luck. If your spirits are down and you show it, people might refrain from talking to you. Many good opportunities may slip away as a result. And you might b e left wondering why your luck doesn’t change Whatever its cause, depression is not just a state of mind.

Are you happy when others are happy?I will be happy when I am doing the kind of things I like to do , such as attending Mr. shi ‘s class , playing ball games , reading books , playing chess , playing computer games or so .With a positive mind you find pleasure almost in everything, like the saying goes attitudes determine your feelings.The greatest pleasures seem to come from hard-won achievements. For example, if after a lot of hard work, you passed an important examination, finished a big project, or got a promotion, you would feel incredibly happy.That depends. As to my friends, my family members or people I like, when they were happy I would certainly be happy.But what if you and your friends all take the same exam, they past ,but only you failed, they were very happy as if laughing at you ,will you still be happy?Yes I will, but may not be as happy as I passed too. Because I know it is common feeling to be happy, so I will not blame them to be so. But if my enemies were happy, I probably would not be happy. Then what is your opinion?Human happiness is not limited to one’s good fortune or success. If y ou help someone in need, you’ll probably feel wonderful. This accounts for the success of Project Hope, through which people volunteer time and donate money to help people in need.No 4: Is there any relationship between reason and emotion? Which plays a bigger role in our lives?Both reason and emotion are important in our lives. Although they are obviously different from each other, they complement each other just the same. Think about it, it is difficult to isolate reason from emotion .When one is arguing; one is combining logic with feelings. When a speaker is advocating a principle, the feeling he puts into his voice reinforces his argument. When scientists conduct researches, they may choose an area that is interesting to them. Darwin studied science because he had been fascinated by plants and animals since his childhood. However, in some areas either reason or emotion may play a bigger role. Science students may need more logic than emotion to conduct experiments, while art students tend to rely more on their emotion for creativity. Within a family, people usually cherish the emotional ties between family members. Emotion could be more important than reason when falling in love or trusting a member of one's family, whereas reason plays an important role when deciding how to educate a child. Together or separate, reason and emotion play critically important roles in our lives.Unit 2No 5:Why do some people want to improve their appearance? In what ways can people improve their appearance?1、A love of beauty is part of human nature. People like to see beautiful scenery, flowers, and animals. It is not strange that they also want to look at good-looking humans and improve the way they look themselves. So people try what they can to seek beauty.2、despite the saying that do not judge a person by his appearance , people still tend to like beauties, so in order to be popular among friends and get more friends , people also try to look good.3、and With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion. Some occupations attach great importance to appearance. Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident. With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.Of course good appearance belongs to one’s fortune, you would like to show your fortune to others ,but would you like to demonstrate your weakness? That is why a person with a poor looking would not like to show up in public ,because they lack of confidence.1、keep a good diet.2、and I have also heard that taking exercises will also benefit one’s skin.Yes, besides a good habbit, making up is also a good way.Some people are still unsatisfied with all these ways , they take further actions , plastic surgery at a great risk. have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrink les and crow’s feet. Some even inject botox to remove wrinkles. More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.Wow! You have so much knowledge about plastic surgery.No 6:What is your attitude to plastic surgery What disadvantages are there in plastic surgery?We should not attempt to change our physical appearance by cosmetic means. Such changes may bring unexpected disasters in the future. Some beautifying methods, if not properly applied, have dangerous side effects. People who receive botox injections to remove wrinkles may eventually ruin their skin. Some surgical operations that are intended to make single-fold eyelids double fold actually make them multi-folded -- not what the patient had in mind.Unit3No 7:Discuss some natural disasters and their damages to human beings; can weovercome natural disasters?The other day, a terrible earthquake hit Japan and caused a lot of damages, leaving the hit areas with ruins, it is so terrible。
