Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that. Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride.

From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train rig ht away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome.

From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as f ar as Fremont, it costs a lot more. Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is? Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley? Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.Tom: Two sixty-five? That’s highway robbery for such a short distance! Denise: You think that’s expensive? Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that.Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth. Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take? Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right? Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one s top on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station.Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change tr ains. Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it?Denise: It’s 8:15.Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after8:04.Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch?Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house.Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train righ t away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46. Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll h ave no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring.Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming!

Unit 1Section Conversational SkillsDirections: Listen to a lecture on how to be a good conversationalist. Make notes to complete the outline below.Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about occupations, locations and relationships between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.l. W: Did you go to the lecture given byAlan Shepherd from NASA yesterday?M:Yes. And I was very interested in it. 1 hope that someday I can travel to the outer space myself.Q; Who is Alan Shepherd according to the conversation?2. M: I keep hearing the name Lucky Bumper. He sounds like a terrible person. Who ishe?W; He isn't a real person. There is a TV show called "All in the Family". Lucky Bumper is the father.Q: Who is Lucky Bumper?3. M: Don't worry about the meter ma'am. It's broken. I'll charge you a flat two dollars for the ride.W: If the traffic is this every day, it's worth twice as much.Q: What is the man's profession?4. W: I'm glad you could come today. The drain became stopped up yesterday afternoon.M: Don't worry. I'll have it open for you in no time.W: What is die man?5.W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m., please?M; I'll try, Mam, but on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at midnight.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?6. M: Before Sam built his house, he was living on a boat; and then in a tent.W: Don't forget that just before he moved in, he stayed at the hotel.Q: Where did Sam live first?7. M; Mrs. Smith, the heating in our apartment is broken again- It's freezing up here. W: I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Reed. I'll get someone to fix it right away.M: We pay our rent on time every month, but there is always something wrong with the apartment.W: I'm sorry you've been disturbed. I'll try to change new heaters for you this time. Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?8. M: Well, we need some temporary labor in our packing department. Just for a shorttime; but the job will be rather monotonous.Unit 2Section Q American EtiquetteDirections:Listen to a talk on American etiquette on certain social occasions. At the end of the talk, there will be three questions. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given for each question.In general, it's polite to say "Congratulations!" (with a lot of enthusiasm) whena person has accomplished something- Examples of these kinds of occasions include graduation, Job promotion, the birth of a child, and the purchase of a home. When congratulations are in order, it is sometimes also appropriate to give a gift, especially when invited to a birthday, graduation, wedding, or anniversary party.An invitation may say RSVP on the bottom, an abbreviation that refers to a French expression meaning "respond, please". If the invitation says, "RSVP regrets only," respond by mail or by phone only if you cannot come.Equal attention must be given to good manners on sad occasions. If a coworker, classmate, or neighbor experiences a death in the family, it is appropriate to express sympathy. In doing so, the words die or death should be avoided. It is best to simply say, "1 was so sorry to hear about your loss." It's also customary to send a sympathy card, but if you don't know the mourner's religion, be sure to select a card without religious symbols. Most customs regarding mourning relate to the family's religion and vary from one group to another, so don't send flowers or food unless you know it's appropriate.The simple words "I'm sorry" display good manners in a great many difficult social situations. "I'm sorry" has two main uses: (1) to express sympathy to someone who has had a bad experience; (2) to express regret for bothering someone or causing a problem. Other expressions of apology are "Excuse me" and "Pardon me". Use one of these expressions when you are trying to get out of a crowded elevator or stopping a stranger to ask directions.Question 1: According to the talk, on what occasions is it especially appropriate to give a gift?Question 2: When you receive an invitation which says RSVP, what are you expected to do?Question 3: Which of the following behaviors is appropriate for you when you hear your friend experiences a death?Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about offer and request between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.1. M: Would you care for a biscuit?W: Not just at the moment, thank you. I'd rather have another piece of cake if I may.Q: What does the woman want now?2. W: How annoying! I can't figure out a solution to this problem. Can you helpme?M: Well, I'm afraid I can't at the moment.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: What can I do for you, gentleman? Maybe you like this suit, because the colormatches your skin and it is the latest fashion.M: Yes, it's really a good suit and it's of good color. But I Just walk around and watch. Thank you just the same.Q: What did the man accept?4. W: Your garden is too dry, and it needs water. Let me give you a hand to waterthe flower first.M: The garden is dry and I'm drier, would you fetch me some water please?Q: What did the man offer?5. M: The room is too stuffy, let me turn on the ventilator for you and air the room. W: Yes, it's too smoky here and I can hardly breathe.Q: If the woman accepts the man's offer, what will the man do?6. M: What's the matter?W; I have heard some strange engine noise when I'm driving 30 miles per hour.M: Why don't you call the Car Talk program provided by the radio station? They can help you.Q: What is Car Talk about according to this conversation?7. W: The bus is so crowded, jammed like sardines. Oh, my God'M: But can I offer you my seat? I'm getting off here.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?8. W: Let me get you some soft drinks, what would you like to have, Coca-Cola orsoda?M: It makes no difference actually, but I'd like to have the latter if you don't mind.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?9. M: There will be a cold spell tomorrow. The news was too bad. It spoils all ourholiday plan.W: Just cheer up! We might as well do something to make it up by touring the downtown part,Q: What did the woman suggest?10. M: May I help you madam? The skirt matches your blouse all right.

(Telephone rings)Jim: Hello.Marty: Hi. It’s Marty. How are you? We missed you at the game today. Jim: Yeah. I’ve been in bed for a couple of days.Marty: Oh gee. What’s wrong?Jim: Oh, I’m just a little under the weather, I guess. My nose is topped up and I’ve just felt crummy.Marty: Yeah, everybody seems to have something that’s going around. Have you seen a doctor?Jim: No. I just got some non-prescription nasal spray at the drugstore and I’m drinking plenty of fluids. One more day of rest and I’m sure I’ll be ba ck to work. I had chills the first day and my stomach was upset, but now it’s really only my nose.Marty: Well that’s good. Listen, I won’t keep you any longer. I’m sure you’ll want to rest. Do you think you’ll be going to the game on Wednesday?Jim: Oh, I’m sure. I’ll be fine by then.Marty: Great. Well, take care. I’ll see you on Wednesday.Jim: Yeah. Thanks for calling.Marty: Bye.2. Doctor: O. K., Mike. You said it’s around your stomach. Please take off your shirt.Mike: O.K…. The rash is all over my right leg, too, Doctor.Doctor: I’ll look at that in just a minute. Have you been out in t he woods lately?Mike: Yes. I went for a hike in the country on Saturday.Doctor: Uh-huh; and when did you first notice the rash?Mike: On Monday. At first I thought it was very uncomfortable. I washed it with antiseptic soap, but that didn’t’ seem to help, and by Tuesday, it started to itch and burn.Doctor: Did you notice if you had a fever or not?Mike: I didn’t take my temperature, but aside from the itching, I feel fine. Doctor: And, any difficulty breathing?Mike: No.Doctor: Sore throat or runny nose?Mike: No.Doctor: O.K. I think you’re going to be fine. I’m going to prescribe some cream that will help with the rash.Mike: Thanks, doctor.Doctor: And make sure to thoroughly wash all clothing that you were wearing during your hike last Saturday.3.

Ooh…Ow…Oh! Where’s the Fizz-Away? It’s burning.Mindy: Oh, Lou. This can’t go on!Lou: Look, it was probably just the fried chicken at dinner.Mindy: Here, take this. Now, I’m not taking no for an answer. You’re going to the doctor tomorrow and that’s final! Fried chicken! How come I don’t have any pain?
