Unit 3
Can Time Move backward?
Part Ⅰ Getting ready
If you read a clock, you can know the time of day. But no one knows what time itself is. We cannot see it; we cannot touch it; we cannot hear it. We know it only by the way we mark its passing. Despite of all our success in measuring the smallest parts of time, time itself is still one of the great mysteries of the universe.

英语听力教程(第2册)Unit3听力原文
Unit 3 听力原文Part IBSam: I won?t be able to do the exam tomorrow. I just don?t feel that I?m ready.Counselor: You say that you don?t feel ready for tomorrow?s exam ... what do you feel like right now?Sam: Well, I?m angry with myself because I?m going to have to quit the exam and, well, I guess I?m anxious. Yes, I feel very anxious.Counselor: When you think about this anxiety, what image do you have of yourself?Sam: Well, I see myself trying to explain to my Dad why I didn?t make the grade on this course ... and I see him getting angry ... and, well, I start to feel I?ve let him down again.Counselor: You don?t feel ready for your exam, you feel anxious and you don?t want to let your Dad down again. Tell me about the last time you let your Dad down.Sam: Oh, well, it was a year ago ... He?d entered me for a chess competition and I got knocked out in the first match ... he was angry because he?d told all his friends how good I was.Counselor: What did you tell him ... as an explanation when you lost the chess game?Sam: I told him that I wasn?t ready to play in that league.Counselor: And now you are preparing to tell him that you?re not ready to sit this examination? Sam: Yes, I suppose I am.Counselor: O.K. Sam, so what you are saying to me is that you feel reluctant to take the exam tomorrow because you do not like the thought of having to explain a poor grade or a failure toyour father. Is that right, Sam?Sam: Yes. That?s exactly it.C1. A: When I read in English, I always want to understand every single word and so I spend a lotof time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time I?ve looked up the word in my dictionary, I?ve forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. That?s my trouble really — I rely too much on my dictionary.B: Well, why don?t you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? You?ll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean.2. A: I have to read a lot of books and articles in English for my work —I?m a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when I?m reading and so sometimes I find that I?m almost copying out the whole article because I can?t decide what the really important points are.B: It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea ofwhat it?s about. I think it?s difficult to read something for the first time and take notes as well.3. A: I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but there?s one thing I find very difficult in English. I?m never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times I?ve read something I thought was serious and later I?ve found out it was supposed to be funny.B: I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one day perhaps we?ll understand the British sense of humor.4. A: I have to read a lot in English in my studies and this is causing me problems. I read too slowly in English. Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understandwhat I?m reading?B: Well, there are special courses in speed reading, I think. But you could probably help yourself if you set yourself a time limit and try to read as much as you can within the time. I?ve done that and it?s helped me a lot.Par tⅡ(Part I)Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had for French when I was at school ... er ... er ... Many years ago - more years than I care to remember, I?m afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in myfirst year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teacher till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages — French and German — at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I don?t count Latin, because I never managed to speak any Latin at all. Er, well, this ... this teacher didn?t make it easy ... he didn?t make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot.When I think back, I ... don?t really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard — I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing — er, and he wasn?t very friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didn?t really try to make the classes interesting —I mean, no ... no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes ... but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hour?s conversation class every week. But, you know, because of that man — some people might say in spite of him ... no, that wouldn?t be fair, no — but quite a lot of us began to like France and the French a lot, and, er, to visit France in the summer holidays to see it for ourselves.(Part II)Yes, I think with him I learned that when you learn a foreign language ... it?s, it ... well, it?s like opening a door or a ｗｉｎｄｏｗinto a foreign country. And that?s good for you, I think, because you begin to see that the way they do things and think in your country is, um, isn?t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.It?s funny, I still have a very clear picture of that teacher. He was English but he didn?t look English somehow, ,cos he had very, very black hair and very dark eyes, and he wore glasses with black frames, but you could see his eyes very well, and everyone in the class always had the feeling that he was looking at them. And he had very thick, bushy eyebrows that made him look very, er, very serious.Yes, I remember he was very musical —played the piano very well and sang. Now, he was quite a good rugby and tennis player. Great family man, too. He had three children and a very interesting wife. I suppose he must have been in his thirties when I knew him ...PartⅢChildren of a Decadekeep in touch with：保持联系soak：浸泡come to：到达;共计;突然想起put sb. off：使人离开、气馁bring tears to：使落泪emblazon：颂扬，盛饰decade：十年teddy：妇女连衫衬裤chap：小伙子，小家伙，家伙Lake District：湖区porridge：粥;麦片粥;稀饭incident：事件，事变goody-goody：会巴结的人hymn：赞美诗;圣歌homesick：思乡病favorite：中意的worst：最坏的marvelous：非凡的;神乎其神shy：害羞的stupid：笨Presenter: In this edition of our series “Children of a Decade” I?ll be talking to Jack Thompson, who was born in 1940, and to Shirley Sutton, who was born in 1930. First of all, Jack, thanks for joining us. Perhaps ...Jack: Not at all.Presenter: Perhaps you?d tell us about your memories of your first holiday away from home?Jack: Oh ... yes ... um ... at age ten I think it was, yes, I went to stay with an aunt at the seaside. Well, it wasn?t a very happy experience. I felt very homesick at first.Presenter: Mmm. And what about your first day at school, can you remember that?Jack: Yes, I can. Er ... er ... I was five years old and I wanted to take all my toys with me but ...er ... they wouldn?t let me. In the end it was agreed that I could take my teddy ... er ... but only on the first day.Presenter: Oh, I see. Your school days, were they happy ones?Jack: Well ... er ... I didn?t have a very good time at school — I wasn?t very bright, you see. And the teachers didn?t seem to like me, but ... er ... I made a lot of friends and some of them I stillkeep in touch with. One of them I married.Presenter: Oh, that?s wonderful. Well, did you have a favorite teacher?Jack: Miss Robinson ... or was it ... no, it was Miss Robson. My first teacher, that?s right yeah ...very kind. Marvelous storyteller.Presenter: And who was your worst teacher?Jack: Mr. Goodman, that?s right. We used to call him “Goody”. Yeah, he pulled your ear if you made a mistake or talked in class. Yeah, my left ear is still bigger, look.Presenter: Ha ha. Perhaps you can tell us about your last day at school?Jack: My last day, oh yeah, that?s emblazoned on my mind. Oh, I wanted to get my own back you see on old Mr. Goodman — the chap we used to call ... er ... “Goody”— so I put this bucket of water over the classroom door but it fell on him and he got soaked, you see. Ha ha. I?ve never seen anyone so angry. Oh, it was a good one, that.Presenter: Thank you very much, Jack. And now Shirley.Shirley: Yes.Presenter: Now, can you tell me about your first holiday away from home?Shirley: Oh yes ... er ... yes ... er ... at the age of eight it was. We went on holiday to the Lake District. We stayed at a little guest house, just me and my parents. Er ... I remember we had ... er ... honey for breakfast with ... er ... the toast and ... oh ... and porridge — I hated it.Presenter: That sounds lovely? Oh, porridge, you hated it?Shirley: Ha ha.Presenter: Well, what about your first day at school?Shirley: Well, I ... I ... I don?t remember any special incidents ... er .... Oh, I was very frightened and shy at first ... er ... I ... I know that, I can remember, but I soon came to enjoy school. Presenter: So your school days, were they happy?Shirley: Oh yes, I loved school! Oh, I was sorry when half-term came and... and when the holidays came. Oh, perhaps this was because I was a bit of a goody-goody.Presenter: And what about your teachers? Did you have a favorite?Shirley: I did, yes. I remember her well, she was called Miss Brown and she was our history teacher. Oh, she really made history come to life, she really did.Presenter: Were there any bad moments? Did you have a worst teacher?Shirley: Aye, I did and I can remember her name too. Her name was Mrs. Sharpe and she taught math. Oh, she had no patience. I wasn?t all that good at math and she always said to me, “You stupid girl!” It put me off math for life.Presenter: Oh, what a shame.Shirley: I know.Presenter: Perhaps you could tell me about your last day at school?Shirley: Oh yes, well, I?m afraid I cried. We sang our favorite hymn at the end of the term and I cried. It brought the tears to my eyes.Presenter: Oh, and it?s bringing a tear to my eye now. Thank you very much.Shirley: Thank you.Presenter: And thank you too, Jack Thompson, thank you very much. Next week we?ll be hearing from two people who were born in 1920 and 1910. So from me, Libby Freeman, good-bye.PartⅣSchool reportschool report：学生成绩报告单safety：安全quality：质量empowered：授权;准许;使能够involvement：投入，介入guarantee：保障superior：（级别、地位）较高的;（在质量等方面）较好的;（数量）较多的;上...concentrate：集中comment：评论intelligent：聪明的;[计]智能的give up on sb：放弃biology：生物学;生物well above：好于guide back：保证geography：地理（学）oral：口头go to pieces：零散average：平均positive：积极come bottom：打底attitude：态度look on the bright side：看好的一面hockey：曲棍球Mrs. Daniels: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey?s parents? Mr. Thompson: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels?Mrs. Daniels: Yes, that?s right. Now, just let me find my notes. As you know I don?t actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin. Is there anything you want to ask me?Mr. Thompson: Well, yes, to be honest we?re a bit worried about her last report -- she doesn?t seem to be doing as well as she was.Mrs. Daniels: Well now, let?s see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she?s finding the work more difficult now that they?re getting near to the exams. Mrs. Thompson: I was never any good at math.Mrs. Daniels: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn?t concentrating very hard in biology lessons. Mrs. Thompson: Oh, but she really likes biology and she?s so good at drawing.Mrs. Daniels: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking toher friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn?t giving in her homework. Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn?t had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.Mr. Thompson: Yes, we don?t know what to do about it. She doesn?t seem to be interested in school any more.Mrs. Daniels: I don?t think we should give up on her. Tracey?s a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons. Mrs. Thompson: Yes, that?s part of Tracey?s trouble. She talks too much.Mrs. Daniels: Well, nevertheless, oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back toa more positive attitude to school work, she?ll do very well.Mr. Thompson: Well I hope so. I?m very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.Mrs. Daniels: Well it?s not because she can?t do French — she just prefers to chat in English! At least she?s doing well in sport. She?s in the hockey team and you know we haven?t lost a single match this year!Mr. Thompson: Well, it?s nice to know she does something well.Mrs. Daniels: Oh, come now, Mr. Thompson, let?s look on the bright side.Part V Memory test: Study HabitsMan: Do you find that you get a lot of students asking you for advice about revision techniques? Woman: Well, yes, I mean, they do, but, when they?ve got quite big exams coming up, (yeah), you know I really find it quite a problem because (pause) (laugh) well, I don?t have to revise myself very often these days, and ... but when I ... when I was at university, erm I mean, well, it just seems to be a matter of what suits one person doesn?t suit another. (Oh yeah) I mean, because,well, the girl I shared a house with at university. Now she worked, erm, she used to get up amazingly late, and, er, she didn?t really start work until, er, in the evening I think, an?, then she liked to have rock music on really loud an? she used to, you know, play records really loud right through until sort of very late at night, you know, into the small hours (Oh God!) and I was, sort of, well I was just the opposite and er, well, the only way I could ever get any work done was to make myself wake up incredibly early and well, then work a bit and have some breakfast and, then, well, you know, I?d sort of potter about a bit and then I?d go and do my shopping and things, well that?d be about getting on towards midday, but then in the afternoon I?d have a rest and when I woke up I?d think about eating and I suppose I?d call that my supper, and but, er, I mean she was, I mean, it was her lunch or even her brunch that she was having at that time.Man: Yeah, yeah, I suppose I?m a bit like you really. I like to get up fairly early, say around seven, might have a cup of coffee, and... before I started get myself totally organized so that I knew ... exactly what I was doing, get it all organized, and then work solidly, well maybe do six hours revision without stopping and that was the only way I could do it.Woman: Yes, yes, and would you say to yourself, you know, er, “well, I?m gonna do six hours today and I?m not gonna, go, I?m not gonna have any fun until I?ve done six hours,”?Man: Yeah, it was very much like that, erm, an unpleasant thing that you had to regulate.Woman: Mmm. I mean, well, I just hate revising anyway, I mean, you know I hate that sort of thing, I mean, and in fact, I did very little solid, sensible work, and, er ... what I?d do is, because I was doing literature, I used to re-read the novels, you know, on the course, and I?d have ... erm ... classical music on the radio, because well I used to find that I used to get very bored if there was just nothing, you know nothing at all in the background.Man: Yes, I think of the people who do revise, there are two sorts, there are those who ... work almost by topic, they select a topic, and plough through it regardless, and then, there are, there are those who set themselves a time limit of an amount to be done rather than working through a specific topic regardless of the limit ... of time ... as I say ...。

I guess you must’ve become an actress, like you always wanted.•Karen: Thanks, but you’re not going to believe this.•Charisse: What?•Karen: Well, I moved away to Hollywood and did the usual waitress thing for a while. •Charisse: Yeah?•Karen: Eventually, I got a small part in a horror movie, and that’s when I discovered my true calling.•Charisse: What’s that? Playing zombies?•Karen: Nope. I’ve become a movie makeup artist!•Charisse: No way!That’s so amazing! But what made you give up acting?•Karen: I guess I just prefer working behind the scenes. But enough about me. How are you and Craig?•Charisse: Craig? Oh, him. You know, we broke up about a year after you left town. •Karen: Oh, I’m sorry. It just seemed like you two were so eager to get married and start a family.•Charisse: Funny how that ended up. I was too busy with school and then my job, and we just sort of drifted apart.•Karen: Huh!So what’ve you been doing all this time, Charisse?•Charisse: Well, a few years ago I got a great job with an advertising agency. And guess what?•Karen: What?•Charisse: They’ve just promoted me. I’m an account executive now!•Karen: Wow, pretty impressive.Unit Two:Listening tasks:1. A: Oh, my gosh.

What did he do this time?•A: He gave me a poem.•B: A poem?•A: I mean, it’s beautiful!It’s romantic and it’s full of imagery. I just couldn’t believe it came from him.•B: You got that right. I didn’t even think he could read.•A: I just found out he plays two musical instruments and speaks French fluently!•B: Hmm. Well, maybe there’s more to Brett than meets the eye!2. A: Hey, Jeff, I didn’t know you took dance lessons.•B: What? How did you know that?•A: Your girlfriend showed me some pictures of you dancing.•B: Man, I told her not to show those to people!•A: Aw, come on. Actually, I think it’s pretty cool. I wish there was something I felt that passionate about.•B: Really? You know, I love to dance, but I don’t tell my friends about it. Dancing is a private thing for me. It’s just something I do for myself.3. A: Hey, Kayla. Can I borrow your notes from today’s math class?•B: Yeah, sure. Just make sure to give them back to me before my band plays tonight. I need time to study.•A: Did you say your “band”?•B: Yeah. I’m in a band called Rock Hard. I play the drums.•A: You’re kidding! You play the drums for a rock band? I never would’ve guessed.•B: Why? ’Cause I’m a straight A student?•A: Yeah. I mean, you’re the one everyone comes to for math help. I just assumed you were a …•B: A nerd?•A: Well, I don’t know about that.•B: Don’t worry. I’m not offended. I am a nerd. But who says nerds can’t play the drums?Real World Listening:•C: TJ, my man!How’s it goin’?•TJ: Hey, Cesar. What’s up, dude?•C: Oh, not much. But you, man. You’re all over the place.

But good weird.•TJ: Yeah. And you won’t even believe what the latest is.•C: What?•TJ: Nike wants me to do a commercial. They’ve been calling my agent. Nike, man.•C: Wow! I don’t believe that. That’s crazy, man. You’ve got it made.•TJ: Yeah, sorta.•C: What’s wrong?•TJ: Well, you know the fame and fortune are great, but sometimes I just want to have my old life back again.•C: Why? With the way things are going for you?•TJ: No, but it’s my family and my friends, like you. They think I’m too good for them now. They think I don’t have time for the stuff we used to do, like go to movies and just hang out.•C: Wow, man. That’s rough. But you know, your life is kinda different now.•TJ: Sure, I mean, people recognize me and stuff, but I’m still the same person I was before I went pro. I just wish everyone would understand that.•C: Don’t you like all the attention you’re getting?•TJ: I dunno, man. The truth is, it’s kind of embarrassing. I guess I’m shy or something.•C: You? No way, TJ. I thought you lived for the crowds.•TJ: Nah, it’s the sport I love. I can live without the spectators.•C: So what are you gonna do, man?•TJ: Just keep doing what I’m doing.

You think you’re the only people who are trying to juggle careers and family?•B: No, no. I’m sure we’re not. Just, it’s kind of a personal thing.2. A: So, Jerry, have you thought about where you’re going to live after you graduate in June?•B: Uh, yeah. I think I’m going to move back in with my folks, save a little money, you know.•A: Your folks? You gotta be kidding!Don’t you think it’s time to leave the nest?•B: Um, yeah, I guess. But it’s not like it’s gonna be forever.

He’s perfect for you.•B: That’s OK. I’m not really into blind dates.•A: Don’t be ridiculous! You’re gonna love him!•B: You know, I’m not sure I really want to be dating anyone right now.Real World Listening:•Part 1. Andrea talks to Jackie.•Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”What’s your problem?•Jackie: Hi, I’m Jackie, from Toronto.•Andrea: Jackie, what’s your problem?•Jackie: My parents are driving me crazy! I’m in college, and my parents make me come home before midnight. Plus …•Andrea: Just a second, Jackie. Slow down. You’re in college, you’re living at home, your parents want you home at midnight. What’s wrong with that?•Jackie: Well, it’s not only that. They always want to know who I’m going out with, and if I’ve done my homework. How can I get them to leave me alone?•Andrea: Jackie, grow up already. If you live at home, you should follow their rules, or move out of their house. Clear enough?•Part 2. Andrea talks to Beatrice.•Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”•Beatrice: This is Beatrice from Atlanta.•Andrea: OK, Beatrice. What’s your problem?•Beatrice: I need some advice about dieting. Every time I go on a diet, I lose a few pounds, but it only lasts a little while.•Andrea: Uh huh. Go on.•Beatrice: Once I start eating normally again, I always gain the weight back.•Andrea: Do you exercise regularly?•Beatrice: No.•Andrea: There’s your problem. You can’t lose weight without exercise. Talk to your doctor about an exercise plan, and stick to it.•Part 3. Andrea talks to Pete.•Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”•Pete: This is Pete, from Denver.•Andrea: What’s your problem?•Pete: Could I ask you something?•Andrea: That’s what I’m here for.•Pete: Well, my car has been making funny noises lately. Like this—fffft fffft fffft fffft—but only when it’s moving. When it’s idle, it makes sounds sort of like, vvvttt, vvvtttt, vvvttt.•Andrea: Look, Pete.•Pete: I really don’t know what to do.•Andrea: Look, Pete, I give advice about people, not cars. You need to call a mechanic.Unit Four:Listening tasks:1. My sister is a really strict vegan. It’s not for religious or health reasons. It’s just she’s just a little nuts. Every time she comes over for a family dinner we have to make a special dish just for her. And if, like, the fork we’ve used to serve some meat even touches her plate for a split second, she freaks out and has to get another plate. Recently, she started this new thing where she can’t even eat any vegetables that are cooked. They have to be raw. And she put her cat on a vegan diet, too. The poor thing only eats vegetables. Every time I go over to her place, the cat looks at me with these sad eyes, like, “Meat … please?”2. My cousin Pat is a professional clown. He goes by the name Patty Cakes. He gets hired to do special events like kids’birthday parties. The thing about Pat is that he just can’t stop being a clown even when he’s not working. He’ll show up at his friend’s house and start making balloon hats for everyone. And then there’s his pet duck, Phoebe. Pat uses Phoebe in his clown act, but sometimes he doesn’t have time to take her home after work, so he just brings her along wherever he’s going. It’s just so strange to see Pat walk in somewhere with Phoebe following behind him wearing a diaper.3. My Aunt Samantha collects dolls. She’s a real fanatic. Most people have hobbies, you know,like sports or music or movies, but Aunt Samantha spends all her money on dolls. She has one room in her apartment completely devoted to Barbie dolls. I mean, the whole room is wall-to-wall Barbies!She’s got over a thousand of them lined up on shelves from floor to ceiling. The dolls are all in perfect condition. She stores them in their boxes and never takes them out. It’s kind of scary, actually. When you walk into that room, you just feel surrounded by them. It’s like they’re all watching you or something.4. My brother Andrew is really into TV and movies and, um ... How can I put this nicely? He can get pretty extreme about it. He’s always pretending to be a character from a movie or TV show. Now, when he was twelve or thirteen, he used to watch the TV show Star Trek all the time, and he’d go around talking exactly like Mr. Spock. Like if I’d say, “Andrew, get out of my room. I’m studying. You’re so irritating.”And he’d say, “Irritating? Ah, yes, one of your earthling emotions.”Stuff like that, a line right out of Star Trek. Now, sometimes, it’s funny. Like now he’s doing Harry Potter voices. But we worry about him a lot. I mean, does he even know who he is? He’s always acting like someone else.Real world listening:•Lydia: OK, Greg, I got the wedding invitations back from the printers. Let’s do this!•Greg: OK, I’m ready.•Lydia: Got your list?•Greg: Yeah, I just have a short list, though. Just my parents, and my brother Tim, and his wife, and my sister Tanya, and Jamie, my friend from college, and that’s about it. I can’t think of anyone else that I really want to invite.•Lydia: Greg, that’s like, what, ten people? Are you joking? This is our wedding.•Greg: Well, I guess we could invite my mom’s cousin Abigail. She lives nearby, but I don’t know her very well, and she’s kind of crazy. She has, like, fifteen cats.•Lydia: Greg, if she’s family, you should invite her.•Greg: I guess.•Lydia: So, including your mom’s cousin Abigail, you’ve now got a grand total of eleven guests. That just isn’t enough to fill up a reception room.•Greg: Well, how many people are you inviting?•Lydia: Um, let’s see. Here’s my list. I’ve got my brother and his wife.•Greg: Right.•Lydia: And her parents and relatives.•Greg: You’re inviting your sister-in-law’s relatives, too?•Lydia: Greg, this is a family event. Can’t leave anyone out.•Greg: Can’t leave anyone out?•Lydia: And then there’s my mother’s two brothers and their families.•Greg: They’ll come all the way from San Francisco for this?•Lydia: Oh, absolutely. And then my aunt Chia-Lin.•Greg: I thought she lived in Shanghai.•Lydia: She does, but she’ll come for the wedding.•Greg: Really?•Lydia: She wouldn’t miss it for the world, and besides, my mother would never forgiveher if she didn’t come to my wedding.•Greg: Ah.•Lydia: And then my father will want to invite all his close friends from work.•Greg: Wait a sec. Your father’s friends from work are coming? How many is that?•Lydia: Oh, Greg, he’s in the restaurant business. He’s got so many friends. There must be like, one, two, three, eight people who work in the restaurant alone, and then the suppliers, and all of his regular big customers.Maybe eighty or ninety. Something like that.•Greg: Eighty people!•Lydia: There’s no way he wouldn’t invite all of them to his daughter’s wedding. It’d be an insult!•Greg: But I thought we were just inviting family and close friends.•Lydia: Believe me, my father’s business associates are like family.•Greg: Wow! How many people are on that list there?•Lydia: Oh, just a few. This is just like three or four hundred people. I’m trying to keep it small.•Greg: Gosh, Lydia, where are we going to have this wedding, in Yankee Stadium?Unit Five:Listening tasks:1. A: Honey, I’ve been thinking.•B: Huh?•A: I’ve been thinking. I think I’d like to go back to work.•B: Really? Why?•A: Well, the kids are growing up. Jenny is off to university, and Ted is going to be in high school next year.•B: Uh huh, yeah, right?•A: Well, I just don’t think I need to be a stay-at-home mom anymore.•B: But, but who’s going to make dinner and do the laundry, and who’s going to clean the house?•A: I don’t know, honey, but we’ll figure it out. I’ve been weighing the pros and cons, and now it just seems like the best time to make a change.2. A: Hey, how’s it going, Frank?•B: Oh, not too sure.•A: Oh, what’s the problem?•B: It’s not really a problem. It’s kind of a good thing, I guess.•A: You guess?•B: Well, I applied for a job with a really good engineering firm a couple of months ago, and I talked to the boss yesterday.•A: Yeah?•B: And they want to hire me.•A: That’s great news.•B: Well, sort of. But the downside is the job’s in Texas. I would have to move. And they want me to start in six weeks.•A: Ooh, Texas. That’s really far away. What are you leaning toward?•B: At this point, I’m seriously considering accepting the offer. But I have until next week to let them know.3. A: Hey, Jamie, you look stressed out. What’s wrong?•B: Oh, I have to choose my major this month, and I’m still undecided.•A: I thought you were majoring in theater. Didn’t you say you wanted to be the next Angelina Jolie?•B: Yeah, but I changed my mind last semester and started taking more psychology classes.•A: Well, why don’t you do that? You could be the next Sigmund Freud, the female version.•B: I would, but I don’t know. I’m taking a really great physics class this semester. I totally love it.•A: Then why not do physics?•B: So I could be the next Albert Einstein, right? I don’t know about that, either. I kinda want to take some French classes. Yeah, that sounds good! Maybe I should major in French. Although, if I take French, then I can’t really take the physics. And I mean, theater still is really fun.4. A: What do you think about getting a puppy, Rick?•B: A puppy? Why would we do that?•A: Well, I was at the supermarket today, and there was this guy with a box of Labrador puppies out front, and they were so cute.•B: Yeah, of course they’re cute. Puppies are always cute. But they’re messy, too. •A: I know, but you should have seen them. Their little tails and their little faces.•B: The problem with a puppy is that it eventually becomes a dog, a big dog. What’s a big dog gonna do in our little apartment?•A: We’ll take it for walks. It’ll be great. C’mon.•B: I don’t know. I’ll think about it. Why don’t we get a cat instead?•Real World Listening :•Our topic today is decision making. We make decisions every day, right? Maybe about simple, personal things like which train to take to work or should you get a puppy as a pet, and also more complex things like what to major in at college or whether to take a job offer in a new city. We’re going to look at four dimensions of the decision-making process, OK? Approach, information, risk, and decisiveness.•The first dimension is approach, or the way that you view the decision-making process.There are two types of decision makers here: originators and adapters. Adapters tend to think in terms of the minimum change necessary to produce the results they want. They stick with ideas that have worked in the past. Originators, on the other hand, tend to produce decisions that are less similar to past ideas. They make decisions that seem unique and creative.•The second dimension is information. What kind of information do you need to make a decision? Are you a concrete information processor or an abstract information processor?Concrete information processors need complete and detailed information before making a decision. They prefer to work with clear, absolute, and exact facts and values. Abstractinformation processors, on the other hand, focus on the big picture and general information before they make their decision.•The third dimension is risk. What kind of risk taker are you when you make a big decision? How do you deal with struggles and challenges when you face a tough decision?Two types of risk takers here: conciliators and challengers. Conciliators prefer to be cautious and avoid risks. They avoid taking actions that might involve losing too much.The other type is the challenger. And a challenger will take a more extreme and risky choice in order to get a greater gain, even if the situation has a good chance of turning out badly.•The fourth dimension is decisiveness—how fast you make the decision, and how quickly you take steps towards implementing your decision. For this dimension, the two types of decision makers are called organized and flexible. Organized decision makers are quick to choose—bang, come on, make a decision—and also quick to act upon their decisions: OK, let’s do it!They commit their energy and time sooner than others. Flexible decision makers, on the other hand, are slow to choose and also slow to act upon their decisions.•They tend to change plans frequently, and they also procrastinate or postpone their plans unless they become absolutely necessary.•So that’s the theory: four dimensions of decision making. Where do you stand in each dimension? There’s no right or wrong way to make a decision, but by understanding our own decision making styles, we can make more effective, well-informed, and conscious decisions.。

Part Ⅰ Getting ready
If you read a clock, you can know the time of day. But no one knows what time itself is. We cannot see it; we cannot touch it; we cannot hear it. We know it only by the way we mark its passing. Despite of all our success in measuring the smallest parts of time, time itself is still one of the great mysteries of the universe.
7. kill time: spend time doing nothing in particular in order that it seems pass more quickly
8. get on: become old
9. standard time: the time which is officially used in a country or a part of a country
We can use a clock or a watch to mark the passing of time. But what time is it now? Clocks in different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time.
