Unit 8 MysteriesPART II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLESSON A Scary MonstersLISTENINGScriptReinhold Messner is a famous mountain climber from Austria. He was the first person to climb the highest 14 mountains on Earth. For years, Messner heard stories about the Yeti, but he didn’t believe them. Then he had a scary experience.He was alone on a hike in the Himalayas. It was early evening. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound and he saw something—maybe an animal. It moved very fast.He walked more, and then he heard the strange sound again. Nearby, he saw ... something. It walked on two legs, like a person. It had short legs, but at the same time, it was over two meters tall. It also had very long arms. And it had hair on all of its body.Messner looked at this half person, half animal. And it looked at him. And then the thing walked away—very quickly into the mountains. And it was gone.Today, there are no apes in the Himalayas, but in the past, there were. Around three hundred thousand years ago, a type of giant ape lived in the Himalayas.It was three meters (ten feet) tall and weighed more than five hundred kilograms (one thousand pounds). Some scientists think it walked on two legs, like humans.Maybe the Yeti and this ancient (very old) animal are similar.1.stories about关于……的故事2.be on a hike徒步旅行3.walk on two legs两条腿走路4.be gone消失CONVERSATIONScriptA: Do you think Yetis are real?B: Maybe.A: Really?B: Yeah. Maybe they’re a kind of ape. How about you? Do you believe in them?A: No. There’s no proof these things are real.1. no proof没有证据LESSON B THE WOW! SIGNALListening 1ScriptThe Wow! Signal: Did aliens try to contact us?Jerry Ehman was a scientist. In 1977, he worked at Ohio State University in the U.S. At the school, there was a large radio telescope called “Big Ear.” It listened for signals from space, and it made a report each day.Ehman read the report every day. Each time, the sky was quiet. Then, on August 15, something interesting happened.At 10:16 p.m., Big Ear got a very powerful signal from space. How powerful? Think of it this way: imagine listening to soft music on the radio, and then suddenly it becomes very loud. The signal was unusual because it was very “loud.”Also, it lasted for almost a minute and a half. Ehman was very surprised. On the report, he wrote the word “Wow!”The signal came from outside our solar system, say scientists. Where exactly? We don’t know. Was it a message from another planet? Maybe, but even now, scientists are not sure. We only got the signal one time. Scientists continue to study the skies, but for now, the Wow! signal is still a mystery.st for持续了……时间Listening 2ScriptOn a summer’s night in July of nineteen forty-seven, something strange happened in the town of Roswell, New Mexico. People saw objects flying in the sky and then they heard a loud crash.Near Roswell, the army found pieces of a flying machine on the ground, but it wasn’t a plane.A few days later, the army made a surprising announcement: They said the machine was a UFO—maybe one from space.But then, a few hours later, the army made another announcement: They said their first message wasn’t correct. The object wasn’t a UFO from another planet. It was a weather balloon.Today, the army still says the object was a weather balloon. But some people say they saw strange bodies near the crash site in 1947. They were dead, but they weren’t human. And now, a man named Chas e Brandon says the army’s story is not true. Brandon worked for the government for many years. In 2012, he talked about Roswell. He said the flying machine that crashed wasn’t from Earth. He also said there were aliens. The events at Roswell definitely happened, says Brandon, but the government doesn’t want people to know about it.1.Roswell 罗斯威尔市(新墨西哥州东南部城市)LISTENING SKILLS （无注解）Script1.

This is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.5. Dogs are friendly but they need to be fed and taken out for a walk every day.6. Grandma wants to find out what happened to her dog’s treats.PART III VIDEO WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS?ScriptNarrator:A giant asteroid—15 kilometers wide—is moving toward Earth very fast.Over 65 million years ago, this asteroid crashed into the Earth near Chicxulub, Mexico. It made a very large crater.The asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, scientists think. It also caused almost seventy percent of all life on Earth to die out.It changed our planet forever. But how did this happen?Was it the debris from the crash? Or the heat from the explosion? Or was it something else?To answer this question, scientists want to recreate the crash from 65 million years ago.In the United States, a team of scientists puts a bomb in the ground.The team moves to a safe place. And they wait…Scientists:“Standby for count…5, 4, 3, 2, 1”“Oh man, awesome. Oh, beautiful ejecta falling—Ooh, that’s a crater. Good job, guys—outstanding.”Narrator:Now, scientists can study the explosion. They watch high speed cameras. And they learn a lot.What do the scientists see?One of the first things is the large white circle. This is a shockwave, and it is moving very fast.It’s a very powerful wall of air. And it can kill almost anything.65 million years ago, as the wave moved, it probably killed anything within 150 kilometers in the first 10 seconds.Now, scientists go and look at the crater. The crater is big, but the real crater in Mexico is much larger. It’s 180 kilometers wide!In this experiment, debris from the explosion rains down for more than 10 seconds. 65 million years ago, a huge amount of debris went into the air. Some of the pieces of debris were the size of buildings.The power of the asteroid is hard to imagine. But now, scientists understand it a little better.1.crash into 撞击；与……相撞2.die out绝种；灭亡3.high speed cameras高速摄像机。

Then, answer this question: How different is their language and their culture? The study learned that the most diverse place in the United States was Queens, New York.Almost fifty percent of the people in Queens are from another country. They come from 100 different nations, and they speak almost 150 different languages!No group is the majority here. Other neighborhoods might have more immigrants.

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum(论坛). I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up1. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experience and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.“Hey,”I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,”she said.1.

Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.M: All right, everyone. Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions?W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But it’s a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.W: Do you think that I use too few words?M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. So your active vocabulary in yournative language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?M: Now that’s a very good question.W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using“too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.”? Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.1. Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary? D2. What is “active vocabulary”according to the professor? D3. What do many English learners want to do? A4. What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language? B5. What does the professor want to tell Winnie? DTask 2Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting1 what you want.The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics(歌词) and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, you can expand2 your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.1. What is the biggest problem that many English learners have? B2. Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all? B3. What is the best way to learn English according to the speaker? D4. What is the best way to learn English through music? A5. How can you benefit from watching English movies? C注释：1. stop sb. from doingkeep sb. from doing 阻止某人做某事prevent sb. from doing2. expand: vt. 使膨胀，使扩充，扩大，发展extend: vt. 伸长，延伸，扩大，扩展extent: n. 广度，宽度，长度，范围，程度Unit 2Warming UpHaving problems with your parents? Because society has been changing so rapidly during the last few years, the gap between the generations has become larger. So it can be difficult for children and their parents to relate1. Parents often find the ideas and ways of their children offensive（冒犯的，无礼的）. And children, often teenagers, tend to be rebellious and act badly.More than at any other time, Chilling Out with the Folks（和父母轻松相处）, a set of self-help recordings that bring the generations together, is necessary. Chilling Out with the Folks will help you develop the patience and tolerance（容忍，宽容） necessary to bridge（弥合起来） any generational divide（分歧）. Honestly, it will change your life! Listen to these recordings today, and begin your trip down the road to peace and perfection!注释：1. it is﹢a.﹢for sb.to do sth.对某人来说做某事是…的eg. It is difficult for me to finish the task this afternoon. 对我来说今天下午完成任务是不可能的It is impossible for the man to betray(背叛) his country. 对那个人来说背叛祖国是不可能的Understanding Short ConversationsNow you will hear ten short conversations. A question will follow each conversation. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the fourpossible choices.1. W: How about spending the evening chilling out with the folks?M: Come on, Mom. I’d really like to get out with my friends.Q: What does the young man want to do? C2. W: Honestly, I don’t know what to say about our son’s music.M: Leave him alone about it. After all, your mother didn’t like your music either1.Q: What should the woman do according to the man? C3. W: I’m surprised to see you out and about so early in the morning.M: You know my mom. She doesn’t like me sleeping in（睡懒觉）, even on weekends.Q: Why is the man out and about so early in the morning?D4. M: A little teenage rebellion is normal. Your son will get over it.W: I know. I’m just worried about him doing something that will ruinhis life.Q: Why is the woman worried about her son? B5. W: Get a piercing in my nose? No way! My parents would be angry!M: You’re not giving them enough credit. I don’t think they’d be upset at all.Q: Why wouldn’t the woman get a piercing in her nose? B6. W: What bugs you most about your daughter’s eating habits?M: I can’t stand the way she eats so quickly.Q: Why does the man have a problem with the way his daughter eats? D7. M: What’s wrong with out kids? They think they’re entitled to2 everything we have!W: Well, I feel it’s my fault for giving them too much.Q: What does the woman think about their kids’ problems?B8. W: Dad, I’ve got a date tonight with Mike. I’ll be back late.M: Him again? I wish you wouldn’t date a guy with a tattoo!Q: What does the father wish for his daughter? C9. W: My mother wants me to go into banking, but I like writing.M: You can’t let your mother choose your career for you.Q: According to the man, what should the woman’s mother NOT do? D10.

How about a few facts to start with? Australia is the largest “island” in the world. There are over 27,000 kilometres of coastline. It’s the world’s smallest continent, but the sixth largest country. Its population is only 20 million, so there’s a lot of space. This is Perth on t he west coast. It’s famous for its black swans. If you come here, you’ll definitely want to go sailing. This is Uluru, or Ayers Rock.This amazing rock formation is in the traditional lands of the original inhabitants of Australia -the Aborigines.Their rock paintings have been preserved here for centuries. If you want sun, sea and sand, Queensland is the place to be. This is where you can find the famous Great Barrier Reef. It’s the world’s largest natural feature and is 2,300 kilometres long. Sydney is Au stralia’s biggest city with over four million people -nearly a quarter of the entire population. The Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are famous landmarks. If you like surfing, you’ll have to visit the world-famous Bondi Beach. The smallest state is the Australian Capital Territory around the city of Canberra, which is the capital of Australia. And finally, this is Melbourne -a lively city in the southeast. I did promise pictures of koalas and kangaroos. Are these OK?Listening inPassage 1Part 1Matt So how was your visit to the USA? How did you get on?Caroline Well, it was great. A bit difficult at the start, but it got better.Matt So what happened?Caroline Well, I started my trip in New York, but the trouble was I forgot to ring my friend Dave before I left London and ask him to meet me. Then, just as the plane was landing at New York airport, this French businessman sitting next to me called Serge, gave me a warning, “You shouldn’t arrive in New York alone.” This made me a bit worried, but I was going tocall Dave as soon as I arrived, so I hoped I’d be OK. But when we got off the plane, I was feeling a bit nervous. As soon as I walked out into the arrivals hall this crowd of peoplesurrounded me. And when Serge disappeared, I did feel lonely and rather foolish.Matt I can see why.Caroline And when I saw a smiling group of new arrivals, you know, tourists from England, I wanted to join them. Just as I was starting to panic, someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Serge. I was so relieved.Matt Thank heavens for strange men!Caroline Exactly! But when I called Dave from Serge’s office, he was out. It was late by now so I had to find a hotel. Serge told his driver to take me to a hotel in the Bronx. As soon as I got out of the car, two policemen in a police car stopped me and asked what I was doing in the district as it was dangerous at night. And at the reception desk, when I explained that I was on my own, they didn’t want to give me a room.Matt So what did you do?Caroline Well, I had to wait at reception until the school in Albany, where I was going to work, sent an email. When the hotel knew what I was doing in the States, I got a room.Part 2Caroline Well, in the end I got in touch with Dave and spent the next few nights with his family.But it was cold, and a freezing cold wind was blowing all the time.Matt But it all went better for you after that?Caroline Well, yes, until one morning I decided to go for a walk. I was really enjoying the fresh air, when I realized that I was lost. Then I found a street, which looked like the one the flat was on ... but then I found another one, and another one.Matt Oh no! You must have been very frightened!Caroline Well, I was. I couldn’t remember the address of the flat. It was freezing cold, minus 12 degrees. I was standing by the side of the road, praying that Dave would. send out a search party when suddenly a car stopped, and the driver said, “Taxi?” I was so relieved. Within a couple of minutes I was drinking tea with Dave and the driver back home. His name was Kevin and he was on his way to work. He wasn’t a taxi driver at all.Matt Was he a friend of Dave’s?Caroline No, just someone who was going to work when he saw someone looking lost, I think.They can be very friendly, the Americans.Part3Caroline I then took the train to Albany. No one was waiting for me at the station, although the school where I was working was going to send someone. I later learnt that the person didn’t recognize me because I was wearing a thick coat and a warm hat. So I took a taxi to the school, where I met one of the other teachers, Rebecca. She invited me to stay with her. She lived in a flat near the school, which she was sharing with three other people. I didn’t have much money, because I hadn’t been paid yet, and I wasn’t living on the school campus, so I tried to find some cheap food in the evenings. There was an old man selling hot dogs on a street corner. By the end of the first week, he greeted me and had a hot dog and coffee ready for me. Ah, it was an amazing experience.Passage 2There was this man, and he’s riding his bike along the road, heading towards the border between Mexico and the United States. So he comes up to the border, and this guard stops him. And he points to two sacks the man has on his shoulders.“What’s in the bags?” says the guard.“Sand,” says the man on the bike.So the guard says, “Sand? Get them off your shoulders. We’ll take a look.”So the man on the bike did as he was told, emptied the sacks, and poured the sand on the ground.“Sure enough, it’s nothing but sand,” says the guard, and the man on the bike loads the sand back into the sacks, puts them on his shoulders and goes across the border.Anyway, two weeks later, the man on the bike turns up at the border again, on his bike with two sacks on his shoulders.So the guard says, “What’s in the sacks?” The man takes them off his shoulders, pours the sand onto the ground, puts the sand back in the sacks, puts the sacks on his shoulders, gets back on his bike and goes across the border.This goes on every week for six months, man on the bike, guard at the border, sacks on the man’s shoulders, sand on the ground, sand back in the sacks, man across the border ... until one day the man on the bike with the sand bags doesn’t turn up.A few days later, the guard happens to meet the man on the bike downtown. “Say friend, you sure made us crazy,” says the guard. “We knew you were smuggling something across the border.I won’t say a word - but what is it you were smuggling?”The man on the bike say s, “Bicycles!”Passage 3Speaker 1I don’t know if I’ve told you, but apparently this is a true story. There’s this small airline somewhere in New Zealand, I think, and it uses planes that carry about seven or eightpassengers. So you sit just behind the pilot and get a really good view.Speaker 2 Yeah, I get the picture.Speaker 1 Anyway, the passengers are told to board the plane, and they climb in, you know, not much room. And they sit there waiting. A few minutes later the last passenger, a really cool-looking guy, turns up and takes his seat, and they all wait for the pilot to arrive and take off. And they wait. And they wait some more. And they’re still waiting, not long, you know, a few minutes, but just enough to make them wonder where the pilot is. Then the cool-looking guy at the back starts looking at his watch, and saying, “Well, where’s the pilot? We’re going to be late.” And they wait a bit longer, and the guy says, “I’ve got some people to meet, and I don’t want to miss my appointment.” And they wait some more, and the pilot still doesn’t turn up. So this guy says, “Right, I’m not going to wait any longer, if we don’t have a pilot, I’m going to take off and fly this plane myself.Speaker 2 What?Speaker 1 Exactly, and everyone is going ... duh? W hat’s happening? And this guy gets into the pilot seat, turns on the engine, starts heading for the runway ... and takes off.Speaker 2 I don’t believe it!Speaker 1 Yeah, well nor did the passengers. But the funny thing is ...Speaker 2 What?Speaker 1Apparently, the cool-looking guy really is the pilot. He plays the same trick on passengers fairly often because he gets bored with doing the same flight every day.。

Today we’re going to talk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is? It’s a food which you don’t eat.It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s chewinggum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” The iPod arrived on the market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they want to invest in it? No, they didn’t. So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”. The idea of the game is to buy streets where you can build houses and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say they’ve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people haveplayed it. The game is truly international: It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages.ViewingScriptsP = Presenter; SB = Sergey BrinP: It’s the fastest growing company in history, used by 400 million people a month. The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary moneymaking machine and finds out how it’s changed the lives of countless millions of people w ho now inhabit “the World According to Google”. And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey’s university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you’re trying to find out about, say, “Stonehenge”,here’s what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They’re from companies who have picked“Stonehenge” as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for “Stonehenge” might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks. I’m just looking.S: OK, just let me know if you need anything.W: Thanks.Conversation 2S = Shop assistant; M = ManS: Hi there.

Who’s next, please?W: Do you take Mastercard?S: Yes, that’s fine. Um, can you just sign here, please?Group discussionScriptsA: Personally, I think these footballers earn too much money. They’re 20 years old and they’re already millionaires. I think it’s crazy.B: I agree. They earn enough money in one week to buy a house, a car – anything. Now if you look at, say, fire fighters, who risk their lives …A: Fire fighters don’t earn enough.B: They don’t earn enough.A: What about doctors? Certainly in Britain they work very hard.B: They work too hard. One of my friends is a doctor and he sometimes does 18 hour shifts.A: Ha, that’s crazy.B: Eighteen hours without a break. Again, they’re saving people’s lives.A: Teachers, too. I think they should get much bigger salaries. They also work really long hours.B: Yeah, although they do get good holidays.A: Yeah. That’s true.B: Actually, I think they get too many holidays. There’s Christmas and half term and Easter and the summer. What is it in the summer – about six weeks?A: Yeah, but I think teachers need it ’cause of all the stress.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: According to this policy, you can get more welfare money if you have children. W: Sure, I could. But having children would also cost a lot of money, so I doubt the welfare benefits will encourage people to give birth. Besides, I’m happier by myself.Q: What does the woman think about the policy?Conversation 2W: In a marriage, do you think one person should handle money, or both?M: I think it’s easier for one person to deal with money. Take my parents for example. My dad had some pocket money and the rest of his salary went into the bank for my mom to pay the bills with. It never failed once.Q: According to the man, how should a family deal with money?Conversation 3M: My sister is having trouble with her boyfriend. He wants her to sign an agreement on money problems before they get married.W: I can see why. Well, I wouldn’t have married you if you had asked me to sign such an agreement. My parents would have gone mad.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?Conversation 4W: How can you afford such nice things on your salary? Something must be going on here.M: OK, I’ll be honest with you, but you can’t tell anyone else. I’ve been burning the midnight oil for another company. They pay me very good money.Q: What can we learn about the man?Conversation 5M: I’d like to buy a new car, but this model is too expensive.W: How about loaning some money from your uncle? It’s better than borrowingmoney from the bank because you will have to pay higher interest to the bank.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?Long conversationScriptsM: That’s a beautiful new coat, Jessica. Is that real leather?W: Yes, it is! I found it in a sale last week for only $180. I just couldn’t resist!M: $180?! How can you afford that kind of purchase as a college student? Back when I was beginning college, it was a struggle to afford tuition, books and food!W: No problem! My student loan just came in for this term, so I have plenty of money to spend! I took all of my friends out for dinner la st night, and tonight we’re going out to a concert! We got great tickets for $75! You should come with us, Mike! M: Thanks for the invitation … Um. I’ll have to pass. I need to prepare for my class. Jessica … $75! You’d better learn to be more careful with your money. What will you do if you run out of money before the end of the term?W: I’ll just call my mom! She loves to send me money. She saved up for college for me from when I was young. She said I should really enjoy my college life! So, I am! M: OK, well, I’ve got to go. Jessica, I may be an old family friend of over 15 years, but here at the university, I’m the graduate teaching assistant in your freshman biology class. So, don’t forget to study for the exam this Thursday!W: OK! Bye!Passage 1ScriptsNo one wants to work on a major holiday like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But many small businesses choose to remain open during holidays to compete with the big stores and not miss out on money-making opportunities. While most workers would prefer to celebrate such events with family or friends, business owners can make small but meaningful, gestures to show their appreciation to employees.Daniel Rubin, a human resource expert, said, “While many smaller companies can’t afford to give their holiday workers good extra benefits, there are other ways to keep employees’ spirits up. For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a home-cooked meal or a handwritten thank-you ca rd.”Rubin also said smaller companies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The company manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the company.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact. And he can give the workers some choice in when they come to work, or let them have a day off on another date.Having a small celebration at the work place, or even playing a few holiday games during the workday can help employees to get into the holiday spirit. “Let them do something fun that relates to the holiday and this will keep their spirits high,”Rubin said. “Remember, what counts most is taking the time, not necessarily spending money, and that is something every single company should do.”Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to Rubin, what can small companies do to thank holiday workers?Q3: What can small business owners do to help holiday workers get into the holiday spirit?Q4: Who are supposed to benefit most from this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersAccording to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1) evidence that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2) enhance happiness.The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3) interviewed 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was 4) rated based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions the students held. The researchers also 5) took into account the students’ family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students received from their peers 6) forecast their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.Similar results 7) emerged in another study with a larger group of students.In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools. They found the MBA students’ social well-being 8) was related to changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students’ well-being after graduation than the money they made.One of the reasons why money doesn’t buy happiness is that people quickly 9) adapt themselves to the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10) original level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.。

I like eBay because you can find, er, older things or very rare items.W3: Second-hand stores. I like vintage stores and markets, and those sorts of places.

W6: I usually shop in high street stores or vintage shops, because in vintage shops, you can find rare things that nobody else has.W7: Because I live in Cape Town, I do most of my shopping in Cape Town, South Africa. But I come to Europe quite often during summer time, so I do my shopping in England, in London or in Italy.Part 3F: Have you bought anything recently?W1: I have actually. Er, I bought a dress and I bought a telephone.M1: Yes, I bought a book – to read on the train.W2: I bought myself a new coat.M5: A pair of trainers that I’m wearing at the moment I bought yesterday.

And I bought a pair of shoes as well that I had my eye on for a while.M2: Yes, I’ve bought some very cheap trousers in the sales, um, which I’m very pleased about.

They’re Chanel, so they’re quite expensive. And that’s today. The other week though, I bought a Mimco handbag which was also fairly expensive but I think it’s very nice.ListeningScriptsWelcome to Money Matters, presented by Jimmy Stevens. Today we’re going to talk about four of the best money-making ideas in history. What do you think this is? It’s a food which you don’t eat.It’s a sweet which is made of rubber. It’s chewinggum! Chewing gum was originally made from chicle, a plant from Central and South America, but now many gum companies use rubber. No one knows who first used chewing gum, but it was in 1891 that Wrigley Company started making and selling it. Many people say it helps them to concentrate, and the US army gives gum to its soldiers for this reason. Today the industry is worth nearly 20 billion dollars a year. On to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. It’s small and light. It plays and stores music. A company called Apple invented it, but Vinnie Chieco was the man that gave the iPod its name. He saw the machine and thought of a line from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” The iPod arrived on the market in 2001. In 2007, from January to March, Apple earned 1.8 billion pounds from iPod sales. Our final big moneymaker is all about making money. In 1934 Charles Darrow showed a game to a company called Parker Brothers. Did they want to invest in it? No, they didn’t. So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”. The idea of the game is to buy streets where you can build houses and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say they’ve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people haveplayed it. The game is truly international: It’s sold in 103 countries and in 37 languages.ViewingScriptsP = Presenter; SB = Sergey BrinP: It’s the fastest growing company in history, used by 400 million people a month. The Internet search engine Google has turned its founders from students to multibillionaires. Tonight, The Money Program does its own research on this extraordinary moneymaking machine and finds out how it’s changed the lives of countless millions of people who now inhabit “the World According to Google”. And these are the guys who made it all possible. Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still in their early 30s, and each worth an estimated 6 billion pounds. Theirs is a dramatic tale which began 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergey’s university. Sergey was acting as a tour guide for some prospective students and Larry was in the group. Larry and Sergey developed a piece of software which they believed could revolutionize searching the Internet. Larry and Sergey always believed their system was a winner. Lunchtime hockey in the car park was all part of how Google was gonna be different.SB: It’s a revolution, and you know, like the Industrial Revolution.P: Inside, the office was a playground of lava lamps and bouncy balls. Sergey himselfcreated the Google logo, with its childlike colors, to remind users that Google wanted to be a force for good. In 2000, Larry and Sergey hit the jackpot and turned the corner from successful search engine to successful business. Their secret? A special system of advertising. So how does it work? Well, if you’re trying to find out about, say, “Stonehenge”,here’s what you get. These are ordinary search results and over here is a list of ads. They’re from companies who have picked “Stonehenge” as a key word which triggers their ad to appear. They are businesses who all think someone searching for “Stonehenge” might also be interested in them. And that was how a humble student project became the fastest growing and one of the most profitable companies ever.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsConversation 1S = Shop assistant; W = WomanS: Can I help you?W: No, thanks.

Who’s next, please?W: Do you take Mastercard?S: Yes, that’s fine. Um, can you just sign here, please?Group discussionScriptsA: Personally, I think these footballers earn too much money. They’re 20 years old and they’re already millionaires. I think it’s crazy.B: I agree. They earn enough money in one week to buy a house, a car – anything. Now if you look at, say, fire fighters, who risk their lives …A: Fire fighters don’t earn enough.B: They don’t earn enough.A: What about doctors? Certainly in Britain they work very hard.B: They work too hard. One of my friends is a doctor and he sometimes does 18 hour shifts.A: Ha, that’s crazy.B: Eighteen hours without a break. Again, they’re saving people’s lives.A: Teachers, too. I think they should get much bigger salaries. They also work really long hours.B: Yeah, although they do get good holidays.A: Yeah. That’s true.B: Actually, I think they get too many holidays. There’s Christmas and half term and Easter and the summer. What is it in the summer – about six weeks?A: Yeah, but I think teachers need it ’cause of all the stress.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: According to this policy, you can get more welfare money if you have children. W: Sure, I could. But having children would also cost a lot of money, so I doubt the welfare benefits will encourage people to give birth. Besides, I’m happier by myself.Q: What does the woman think about the policy?Conversation 2W: In a marriage, do you think one person should handle money, or both?M: I think it’s easier for one person to deal with money. Take my parents for example. My dad had some pocket money and the rest of his salary went into the bank for my mom to pay the bills with. It never failed once.Q: According to the man, how should a family deal with money?Conversation 3M: My sister is having trouble with her boyfriend. He wants her to sign an agreement on money problems before they get married.W: I can see why. Well, I wouldn’t have married you if you had asked me to sign such an agreement. My parents would have gone mad.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?Conversation 4W: How can you afford such nice things on your salary? Something must be going on here.M: OK, I’ll be honest with you, but you can’t tell anyone else. I’ve been burning the midnight oil for another company. They pay me very good money.Q: What can we learn about the man?Conversation 5M: I’d like to buy a new car, but this model is too expensive.W: How about loaning some money from your uncle? It’s better than borrowingmoney from the bank because you will have to pay higher interest to the bank.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?Long conversationScriptsM: That’s a beautiful new co at, Jessica. Is that real leather?W: Yes, it is! I found it in a sale last week for only $180. I just couldn’t resist!M: $180?! How can you afford that kind of purchase as a college student? Back when I was beginning college, it was a struggle to afford tuition, books and food!W: No problem! My student loan just came in for this term, so I have plenty of money to spend! I took all of my friends out for dinner last night, and tonight we’re going out to a concert! We got great tickets for $75! You should come with us, Mike! M: Thanks for the invitation … Um. I’ll have to pass. I need to prepare for my class. Jessica … $75! You’d better learn to be more careful with your money. What will you do if you run out of money before the end of the term?W: I’ll just call my mom! She loves to send me money. She saved up for college for me from when I was young. She said I should really enjoy my college life! So, I am! M: OK, well, I’ve got to go. Jessica, I may be an old family friend of over 15 years, but here at the university, I’m the graduate teaching assistant in your freshman biology class. So, don’t forget to study for the exam this Thursday!W: OK! Bye!Passage 1ScriptsNo one wants to work on a major holiday like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But many small businesses choose to remain open during holidays to compete with the big stores and not miss out on money-making opportunities. While most workers would prefer to celebrate such events with family or friends, business owners can make small but meaningful, gestures to show their appreciation to employees.Daniel Rubin, a human resource expert, said, “While many smaller companies can’t afford to give their holiday workers good extra benefits, there are other ways to keep employees’ spirits up. For example, it is important to give employees a small token around the holidays, even if it’s just a $10 or $20 gift card, or a home-cooked meal or a handwritten thank-you card.”Rubin also said smaller companies in particular have the ability to thank their workers face to face. The company manager could say “We appreciate this, and it means a lot to the company.” That is free but will really go a long way with employees. The manager can also talk with workers about how working on holidays will impact their family life and how to reduce this impact. And he can give the workers some choice in when they come to work, or let them have a day off on another date.Having a small celebration at the work place, or even playing a few holiday games during the workday can help employees to get into the holiday spirit. “Let them do something fun that relates to the holiday and this will keep their spiritshigh,” Rubin said. “Remember, what counts most is taking the time, not necessarily spending money, and that is something every sing le company should do.”Q1: What is this passage mainly about?Q2: According to Rubin, what can small companies do to thank holiday workers?Q3: What can small business owners do to help holiday workers get into the holiday spirit?Q4: Who are supposed to benefit most from this passage?Passage 2Scripts and answersAccording to a new study, happiness in life has more to do with respect and influence than wealth. Researchers say that they got interested in this idea because there is abundant 1) evidence that higher income or wealth does not contribute to happiness much at all. At the same time, many theories suggest that higher status should 2) enhance happiness.The researchers put their idea to the test in a set of studies. First, they 3) interviewed 80 college students. The amount of respect the students received from their peers was 4) rated based on peer evaluation, self-reports and the number of leadership positions the students held. The researchers also 5) took into account the students’ family income and asked them about their social well-being. They found the admiration the students received from their peers 6) forecast their social well-being. However, their wealth or income did not.Similar results 7) emerged in another study with a larger group of students.In a final study, the researchers followed graduate students in business schools. They found the MBA students’ social well-being 8) was related to changes in the respect they felt from their peers before and after graduation. They noted that respect had more to do with the students’ well-being after graduation than the money they made.One of the reasons why money doesn’t buy happiness is that people quickly 9) adapt themselves to the new level of income or wealth. Lottery winners, for example, are initially happy but then return to their 10) original level of happiness quickly. What can last is the feeling of being respected, having influence and being socially connected.。
