At the endof each passage, you will hear somequestions. Both the passage and thequestions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you mustchoose the best answer from the fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneThe gestures are used to emphasize an idea or emotion, especially while speaking. Gestures are of great help as people are in a lack of words while trying to express their thoughts, emotions and feelings. While one is talking, he or sheconsiders every sentence and word. Before one says some words, he thinks them over in order not to hurt someone or say something wrong. The vocabulary of a person is rather broad and contains millions of words that help us to express anything we want. According to the scientists, the average person uses about thirteen thousand of words in his everyday communication. One may say that thirteen thousand is a rather big number, but consider the fact that the average dictionary of a certain language contains about 600,000 words. That means we don't use even a half of the words in our language. So, it is common that sometimes we are in a lack of words to express something. As it happens, we start to express our feelings through different gestures. Gestures are the reflection of inner feelings we have but not able to express or try to hide. So, the gestures are a silent language. During our entire life we are wearing masks that help us to hide the feelings and thoughts. But, no matter what a skilful liar aperson is, no one is able to control his gestures. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.Gestures will help people _____to express their thoughts andfeelings.A．who cannot speak a foreignlanguageB．who are not well educatedC．who are not good speakersD．who are in a lack of words2.Before one says some words,_____.A．one makes sure they won't hurtpeopleB．one tries to use the simplestwordsC．one makes sure that the grammaris correctD．one uses gestures to tell whatis to be said3.On average, how many words doesone use in his dailycommunication?A．13,000.B．16,000.C30,000.D．60,000.4.Gestures are the reflections of_____.A．spoken languageB．daily problemsC．our moodsD．hidden feelings5.What can't be controlled nomatter how skillful one is?A．Manners.B．Behaviors.C．Gestures.D．Pronunciations.Passage TwoIt may be a question whether work is a cause of happiness. There is certainly much work which is troublesome, and too much work is always verypainful. But I think that even the most boring work is less painful to most people than no work at all. There are different kinds of work, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the worker. Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time, are at a loss to think of anything pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been more pleasant. What's more, always having to make a choice is very troublesome. For many common people, it is better to be told what to do at each hour of the day. Most of the rich people who have no work to do suffer a kind of boredom. At times they may find relief by hunting in Africa, or by flying round the world, but the number of such experiences is limited. So the clever rich peoplework as hard as if they were poor to kill the bad feelings.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.To most people, the most boringwork is _____ than no work at all.A．more painfulB．no more painfulC．as painful asD．less painful2.What is TRUE about most work thatmost people do?A．They are not very interesting.B．They cause unhappiness.C．They are troublesome.D．They are exciting.3.For most people, when they arefree to fill their own time, theywill probably _________.A．not know what is worth doingB．know how to kill the timeC．fill their time wellD．get lost in the streets4.Work has certain advantagesbecause _____.A．it keeps people healthyB．people can be told what to do atevery hour of the dayC．people find a reason to enjoytheir vacationsD．everyone should work5.What do the clever rich people doto kill the bad feelings ofboredom?A．They travel around the world.B．They seek adventures in Africa.C．They work hard.D．They watch others work.可跳过不做：（Directions: In this section, you will hear several sentences.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneAccording to a recent study, the modern lifestyle, which puts peopleunder constant stress, could damage major organs and lead to heartattacks and kidney diseases. For example, due to the stress of modernlife, uncontrolled high blood pressure among people in their 30s, 40sand 50s will lead to an increase in heart disease and stroke.Everyone has an inner space and an outer space. The inner space is hisbody, mind and emotions. The outer space refers to material riches,luxuries and comforts. Lifestyle disorders are caused due to poverty ininner space and richness in outer space. Nobody cares for changing theinner space while everybody wants to change the outer space. Thisimbalance between the inner and outer spaces brings about a change inmind, brain and consciousness for living in health, harmony andhappiness. But we should remember that lifestyle is achoice that comes from mind. Mind is confused by outer space. Peace isour essential nature. So we have to choose peace or reject it for the sakeof outer space. What is required is to change the mind. Noouter means can bring about change in inner space. Modern scientistsand researchers who are always looking for the material cause in theouter space will never find any solution even if they spend millions inresearch.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.The modern lifestyle could lead to ____ diseases.A.eyeB.lungC.liverD.heart2.What is included in one's "outer space"?A.Emotional needs.B.Spiritual needs.C.Material comforts.D.Freedom of mind.3.Lifestyle disorders are caused by _____ in outer space and ____ ininner space.A.poverty ... richnessB.richness ... povertyC.balance ... imbalanceD.imbalance ... balance4.The choice of lifestyle comes from _____.A.lifeB.mindC.environmentD.belief5.Modern scientists and researchers who are looking for the materialcause of the lifestyle problem _____.A.will solve the problem for the time beingB.don't understand the importance of inner spaceC.will never solve the problemD.will make the problem worsePassage TwoThe word DINK (D-I-N-K) stands for "Double Income, No Kids", meaning plenty of money for couples to live and no children to take care of. Despite a pleasant life, DINKs will never know the joy and pride of bringing up sons and daughters and seeing them develop into useful citizens. But what are the reasons for the DINKs?In the new economy, industry offers pay and benefits to attract talented women who compete with men in the marketplace. Many choose careers and work challenge instead of family. Before the sweeping Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers paid fathers a "family wage" so wives and children wouldn't have to work. But now the rights of individuals are more important than family requirements.As women make more money and men make less money, marriage and family size suffered. Young men earned too little for marriage and a family. Young women found independence and delayed marriage, or just didn't marry at all. Some settled for the DINK role. In the 1960s and 1970s, people were warned of coming world starvation because of population growth and inadequate food production. The result is population control programs in the First World."Women's Liberation" movement has freed women of their roles of wife, mother and homemaker. As a result, more and more women choose not to marry or not to have children. One of the family trends is to take the DINK role.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.DINK stands for _____.A.Double Investment, No KidsB.Double Income, No KidsC.Decent Investment, No KidsD.Decent Income, No Kids2.Talented women compete with men in the marketplace _____.A.for higher payB.for more benefitsC.in the new centuryD.in the new economy3.Before 1964, wives didn't have to work because of the _____.A.welfare programernment assistanceC.family wageD.corporate benefits4.What is TRUE about the warning of world starvation in the 1960s and1970s?A.It resulted in population control programs.B.Most people did not take it seriously.C.It was caused by environmental pollution.D.It led to many divorces in the United States.5.Women were freed of their roles of wife, mother and ____ in the"Women's Liberation".A.cookB.house cleanerC.homemakerD.bookkeeperDirections: In this section, you will hear several sentences. Listen carefully and then repeat.There are more and more househusbands every year.People are getting married very late these days.When they have children, the wife then stays at home to take care of thechildren.Children live with their parents until they get married.I really admire my sister’s style. She’s very independent.Directions: There is a short text shown on the computer screen (as is shown below). You are required to read the text aloud. Your voice will be recorded into the system. You'll have 1 minute for preparation and then you are required to begin reading when hearing the beginning signal sound and stop it when hearing the ending signal sound. Your reading should be limited within 1.5 minutes. Now you have 1 minute to prepare.My fashion sense and IQ have declined steadily over the years since Ifirst became a mom. Once I became a parent, I cared much more aboutwhat my children were wearing than what I should wear. Now that I'ma grandmother, I think I'm fashion-challenged. Today'sfashion trends are a little easier to live with than some of those in thepast. I see girls dressing more like girls than a few years ago. They arewearing more skirts and dresses. The low cut jeans don't seem to bequite as popular. Shorts are getting longer. There really are so manyoptions now. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it.Directions: Look at the comic picture as well as the words below. It tells about a family trend. What is it?

The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”( a funny student), the “ most likely to succeed” ( a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “ best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating.

For some people, this is a problem. They think we should slow down and enjoy life. The Slow Food movement was started to celebrateand support the local food traditions of the worlds. Its members don’t like fast food or instant foods because they think those foods are unhealthy.The Slow Food movement started in Europe, but now it is an international movement. There are more than 65,000 members in 45 countries. The Slow Food movement’s members think we need to slow down and appreciate delicious traditional foods. They also believe in protecting the environment. In addition, they believe in supporting local farmers and their products.Optional Listening 2Adam: I’m about 20 pounds overweight. I went on a diet. There’s only one problem: I just love buttery foods. Everyone says that I should eat less butter. It’s hard.Janet: I lived in Thailand for six months. It was really fun. I really like Thai food! It’s too spicy for some people, but not for me. I love the peppers. I came home a month ago. The food here tastes so bland--- I don’t like it anymore.Abby: My mother says that I have a “sweet tooth.” That means I like to eat sweet foods. Dessert is my favorite part of any meal.I like anything with chocolate in it!Minh: I’m training for a swimming competition. I have to eat healthy foods all the time. At first I didn’t like it, but now I do. I actually prefer healthy foods to sweet or buttery foods. And I feel better, too!Optional Listening 3Hot, hotter, hottest! Surprising facts about chile peppers.1. Chile peppers are one of the oldest food crops in the world. Farmers grew the first chile peppers more than 9,000 years ago.2. The first chile peppers probably grew in Bolivia. From there, the plant spread through South America and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus brought the first chile peppers to Europe.3. The heat in the chile comes from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin has no smell or flavor, but it mikes your mouth fee “hot.”4. Scientists believe that chile peppers are a very healthy food because they are rich in vitamins. Research shows that chiles do not damage the stomach, and Indian scientists discovered that eating chiles can help people lose weight.5. Indian food is well-known for using lots of chile peppers, but Thai food spicier. The average person in Thailand eats five grams of chile pepper everyday---the most in the world.6. The Aztec Indians of Mexico loved chile peppers so much that they gave them to their king as a gift.7. The hottest chile pepper in the world is the habanero. It is bright orange and grows in the Caribbean.8. There are chile sauce factories on every continent except Antarctica.Optional Listening 4In many countries of the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, the Okinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world.Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and town birth records from 1879. They didn’t expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy people living in Okinawa. The United States, for example, has 10 centenarians per 100,1000 people. In Okinawa there are 34 centenarians per 100,100 people!What is the Okinawans’ secret? First, they e at a healthy diet. They eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. They also eat fish often and drink a lot of water and green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthy habits as well. They don’t do hard exercise such as weightlifting or jogging--- instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking. Researchers say that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging. They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercised. They also enjoy massage.Keys:OL1: A.

Then she gave us a tour. That was really cool!Next we sat around a big table in a room. They gave each person three cards. One card said “Yes—All the way!” Another said, “It’s OK.” The third one said, “No way!” We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song we had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop, rock, heavy metal; and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me.Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? They’re really popular right now. Well, they have a new CD coming out. We saw six different CD covers. (I guess they are trying to choose one.) This time, we didn’t have car ds. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions, “Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?”We finished at 12:30. We will meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh yes, we also received a free CD for our tour.

It’ll be a good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally, this story ju st in. … We have a report that a local man, Nick Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10 p.m. He said the lights were bright and they moved across the sky. He stopped at a gas station and talked to a police officer about the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.M: Hmmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about mysterious lights … a lot of local people have seen the lights. It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist.. What do you think, Alexa?A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax! Optional Listening 2It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?” I asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in. I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?”I asked. “Oh yes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. Shedied five years ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”Optional Listening 3A. The Tunguska mysteryIt was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice., and rock with long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern.Encke’s Comet was near Earth in1908, and it’s possible thata part of it broke off and hit the earth.3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.Optional Listening 4Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that.Q. Can you describe them?A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear.Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so? A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs.I don’t think so.Q. What do the experts say?A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.KeysOL1: A. 从左至右：4-5-1-2-3 B. Nick Brown, police officer, local peopleOL 2:A. 1.

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home!Listening 4Making memoriesA popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days,” “Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,” “Baby’s first year.”2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters--- anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, Whe n, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Listening 5Yearbooks in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year---- a “book of memories” for the students.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the junio rs. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”( a funny student), the “ most likely to succeed” ( a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. St udents write notes to each other, such as, “We had a lot of fun,” or “ I’ll never forget you.” The y also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Unit 2, Book 2Listening 21Man: Where are you running to, Paula?Woman I have Connie’s wallet.

Listening 4 Travel Asia: Know before you go!Know before you go!In Bangladesh people greet their friends by shaking hands softly and then putting their hands over their heart. People in Bangladesh don’t use many gestures. Waving at people and winking are very rude. Don’t touch people on the head. Don’t point with your foot---Bangladeshi people think feet are very dirty.Indonesians greet people with a long handshake, and they bow at the same time. At a meeting, give every person your business card, but use your right hand----using your left hand is very rude in Indonesia.In Thailand, the traditional greeting is called wai----people put their hands together and bow. Men and women don’t often touch each other in public. Thai people don’t use their hand for gestures, but they love to smile a lot. They sometimes laugh when they feel nervous or embarrassed.People in the United Arab Emirates have some special gestures. When two men meet, they shake hands. Sometimes old men touch noses together. Women kiss their friends on the cheek. If a man meets a woman, he doesn’t shake hands with her. He just smiles. When you give your friend something, give it to him with your right hand. Don’t use your left hand. And don’t point at people with your finger. Use your hand to gesture towards them. Listening 5World greetingsIn Brazil men often shake hands when they meet for the first time. When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.In New Zealand, usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.In Japan when people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands. In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with both hands. This is polite. Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that the person is embarrassed.Unit 3,Listening 1 The Slow Food movementToday our lives are busier than they were 10 or 20 years ago. For some people, this is a problem. They think we should slow down and enjoy life.The Slow Food movement was started to celebrate and support the local food traditions of the world. Its members don’t like fast food or instant foods because they think those foods are unhealthy.The Slow Food movement started in Europe, but now it is an international movement. There are more than 65,000 members in 45 countries. The Slow Food movement’s members think we need to slow down and appreciate delicious traditional foods. They also believe in protecting the environment. In addition, they believe in supporting local farmers and their products. Listening 3 Who eats whatAdam: I’m about 20 pounds overweight. I went on a diet. There’s only one problem: I just love buttery foods. Everyone says that I should eat less butter. It’s hard.Janet: I lived in Thailand for six months. It was really fun. I really like Thai food! It’s too spicy for some people, but not for me. I love the peppe rs. I came home a month ago. The food here tastes so bland--- I don’t like it anymore.Abby: My mother says that I have a “sweet tooth.” That means I like to eat sweet foods. Dessert is my favorite part of any meal. I like anything with chocolate in it!Mi nh: I’m training for a swimming competition. I have to eat healthy foods all the time. At first I didn’t like it, but now I do. I actually prefer healthy foods to sweet or buttery foods. And I feel better, too!Listening 4Hot, hotter, hottest! Surprising facts about chili peppers.1. Chili peppers are one of the oldest food crops in the world. Farmers grew the first chili peppers more than 9,000 years ago.2. The first chili peppers probably grew in Bolivia. From there, the plant spread through South America and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus brought the first chili peppers to Europe.3. The heat in the chili comes from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin has no smell or flavor, but it makes your mouth feel “hot.”4. Scientists believe that chili peppers are a very healthy food because they are rich in vitamins. Research shows that chilis do not damage the stomach, and Indian scientists discovered that eating chilis can help people lose weight.5. Indian food is well-known for using lots of chili peppers, but Thai food spicier. The average person in Thailand eats five grams of chili pepper everyday---the most in the world.6. The Aztec Indians of Mexico loved chili peppers so much that they gave them to their king as a gift.7. The hottest chili pepper in the world is the habanero. It is bright orange and grows in the Caribbean.8. There are chili sauce factories on every continent except Antarctica. Listening 5 The healthiest people in the worldIn many countries of the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, the Okinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world. Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and town birth records from 1879. They didn’t expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy people living in Okinawa. The United States, for example, has 10 centenarians per 100, 1000 people. In Okinawa there are 34 centenarians per 100,100 people! What is the Okinawans’ secret? First, they eat a healthy diet. They eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. They also eat fish often and drink a lot of water and green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthy habits as well. They don’t do hard exercise such as weightlifting or jogging--- instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking. Researchers say that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging.They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercises. They also enjoy massage.Unit 4Listening 2 What’s your personal style?1.Interviewer (Int): Hi, what’s your name?Gio: Gio.Int: Hi, Gio, Where are you from?G: Milan, Italy.I: Welcome to New York, them!G: Thank you.I: Where are your clothes from?G: My brother.

It’s really boring, so I’m planning to dye my hair red. What do you think?2. I love my girlfriend, but she complains a lot about my clothes. She doesn’t want to go anywhere with me because I always wear old jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t care about looking like a fashion magazine. I just want to be comfortable! What’s your advice?B1.

What’s your advice?Expert’s opinion: I think you ought to have a serious talk with your girlfriend and explain how you feel. We all have our own style and taste. In my opinion, she thinks too much about appearances.Listening 5 TrendspottingToday I started my new part-time job as a trendspotter. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Well, guess what? It was a lot of fun! I’m telling all my friends, “You should think about becoming a trendspotter, too”On Saturday morning, we had to report to a recording studio by 10 a.m. The “Trends Coordinator,” Mandy, explained the schedule. Then she gave us a tour. That was really cool!Next we sat around a big table in a room. They gave each person three cards. One card said “Yes—All the way!” Another said, “It’s OK.” The third one said, “No way!” We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song we had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop, rock, heavy metal, and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me.Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? They’re really popular right now. Well, they have a new CD coming out. We saw six different CD covers. I guess they are trying to choose one. This time, we didn’t have cards. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions, “Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?”We finished at 12:30. We will meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh yes, we also received a free CD for our tour. This “job” doesn’t pay, but we get a free stuff!That’s all for now!Unit 5, Book 2Listening 2 Strange lightsMike: …So, we can look forward to warmer temperature s. It’ll be a good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally, this story just in. … We have a r eport that a local man, Nick Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10 p.m. He said the lights were bright and they moved across the sky. He stopped at a gas stationand talked to a police officer about the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.M: Hmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about mysterious lights … a lot of local people have seen the lights. It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist. What do you think, Alexa?A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax!Listening 3 A strange storyIt was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?” I asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in.I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?” I asked. “Ohyes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five years ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”Listening 4A. The Tunguska mysteryIt was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were knocked down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100, 00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice, and rock with long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke’s Comet was near Earth in 1908, and it’s pos sible that a part of it broke off and hit the earth.3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.Listening 5 The Marfa mystery lightsQ. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that.Q. Can you describe them?A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear.Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year wa s 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so.Q. What do the experts say?A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.Unit 6Listening 1Conversation 1Woman: Morning, Simon. Wow, you look tired.Man: Oh, I didn’t sleep very w ell last night. I had a weird dream. I was in a classroom at school, but I didn’t have any clothes on. No one looked at me, but I was really embarrassed.Conversation 2Woman: Jesse, Jesse, Wake up. You’re having a nightmare.Male child: Oh, what a terrible dream. I dreamed I was on a dark street. Suddenly, there was a large dog behind me. It ran toward me, but I couldn’t move.Woman: Don’t worry, Jesse. It was only a dream. Go back to sleep. Conversation 3Man1: Morning Tim.Man2: Morning. Hey, I had an amazing dream last night. I was on a beautiful boat. The sun was warm and the ocean was really blue. Ijumped into the water, and I began to swam with the fish. The thing is, I can’t swim. But in the dream, I could. It was pretty cool.Listening 2I had an amazing dream last night. I was standing outside of an strange big house. The house was painted pink, a very rare color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, either round or rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I was thinking there must be a big living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house. I was wondering whose house this was when I suddenly heard a voice from somewhere: “My lord, welcome home.” Wow, this was my dream house.I went inside and walked into my living room. It was spacious. There were sofas, a table, a big-screen TV, and a stereo system. It was pretty cool. All my best friends were there, too. But somehow they didn’t speak, didn’t smile, and didn’t even move. And then suddenl y they all disappeared. I was scared. What a terrible dream.I then went to the kitchen. It was also spacious. There were all kinds of kitchen equipment, including a gas stove, a refrigerator, and an oven. There also many electric appliances, such as a microwave oven, an electric mixer, and a food processor. I liked the food processor the most,which made life much easier. There was also a dining table in the middle of the room. The whole family was sitting around the table, waiting for the meal to be serve d. But the fridge was empty, and the gas stove didn’t work. And there was no electricity at all for the microwave oven and the the food processor. The hungry kids started to cry. I was in despair. And then suddenly I woke up.Listening 3Sleep and dreamsScientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are five stages, or parts, of sleep. Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep. If there is a noise or a bright light, you wake up very easily. In stage 2, your brain waves are very slow. In stage 3 and 4, you are in deep sleep. It’s very difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during these stages. Stage 5 is when you dream. Your eyes move a lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage of sleep is very important for your memory. After stage 5, you wake up a little, and then stage 1 starts again. We go through the five stages of sleep four or five times every night, so we have many dreams in one night.How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep 15 to 16 hours every day. Children and teenagers need 9 or10 hours of sleep, but older people only need 6 to 8 hours. If you sleep for only four hours one night, you may just feel tired the next day. But many nights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’t get enough sleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important for learning. It’s one reason why students should go to bed early.Listening 4The meaning of dreamsFor centuries, people have asked: why do we dream? What do our dreams mean? Today, science doesn’t have definite answers to these questions, but we do know some things about dreams. First, we all dream, often 4 to 5 times a night. Second, we don’t usually remember most of our dreams. And finally, when we dream, our brains are very active.Thousands of years ago, people began to study dreams. In many cultures, people believed dreams were messages from spirits or gods. Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a new idea: Dreams come from a person’s mind. Doctors stu died dreams to help sick or worried people.I n the past, some cultures used dreams to predict the future. They thought dreams could help a person choose a husband or wife, guess a baby’s birthday, or starts a business. IN some places, this practice is sti ll common.Today, scientists think dreams are about our thoughts and feelings. Our minds send us messages about our lives. Unfortunately, many messages are often strange or confusing. People wake up and think: What did that dream mean?So, how can you understand the messages in your dreams? Think about the events in the dream. What do they say about your life ? For example, one common dream is about flying. Sometimes this dream means you feel free or want freedom. Other times it means you feel afraid. What do your dreams tell you about your life?Unit7Listening 1Mark: I participated in the Nebuta Festival last August. It was a lot of fun! First, I went to a local shop to rent a haneto--- that’s the costume you wear. It’s easy …..anyone can do it and anyone can dance in the festival. The parade is loud and beautiful. People beat drums and dance around. The only bad part was when I injured my ankle from too much dancing! At night, After the parade, we watched some beautiful floats go down the river.。

Turning around, I discovered the sound was coming from a black mass in a corner. “What’s that?” My heart pounded heavily. I went up and saw a human being, alive but in a dreadful state. He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“No good deed is too small.” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.。
