Unit4Lead-in1.Both sides spend piles of money to produce cool ads, but in fact they will only cancel out each other's effort.Neither side will gain. Eventually, the large sums spent on advertising will be passed on to consumers. Sounds bad, doesn't it? But we have no alternative. If we allow ads for one product but forbid ads for another, this means unfair competition. As a result, one product will turn out to be successful, while the other is sure to havea poor market. Should we ban ads altogether? This seems fair to all manufacturers. But consumers will nothave enough information about products to make a choice. Worse still, they may not even know a new product has been turned out, let alone buy it. Perhaps we had better accept ads, but we can impose restrictions on them to protect consumers' interests. For example, an ad should not include an untruthful statement or exaggeration.Also, advertisers should not claim that their products are superior to others. Restrictions like these may partly compensate for the shortcomings of advertisements.2.It is certainly necessary for us to look at ads, for they provide valuable information on the function, quality andprice of a product. However, we should beware of ads that do not tell the truth. Comparing ads for similar products, we may become better informed and judge them more accurately. In addition to advertisements, we can depend on other consumers for information. A consumer has no personal interest in a product and therefore is likely to be more objective than the advertiser. Finally, our common sense can play a role in our choice of a commodity. To summarize, we can turn to various sources for help before we decide on an advertised product.3.Advertisements have negative social effects as well as economic effects. First, the posters and billboards canblock scenic views and ruin the environment. Second, people who cannot afford the advertised product may develop a sense of inferiority. Third, as often as not, ads encourage unnecessary buying. Fourth, ads usually portray young and beautiful people. Thus older, plain-looking people may feel as if they do not belong to the contemporary world. If you think carefully, you may find more disadvantages to advertising.4.On the whole, I do not think it is a good idea to imitate a movie star's clothes. Students should focus on theirstudies. In the case of students from disadvantaged families, they have no reason to add to the financial burden on their parents. A fashionable dress costs too much for their parents. If a student has done his work well and has plenty of money, then I have no objection to his wearing a film star's fashionable clothes. Wearing such clothes, some people may feel content and then concentrate on more useful pursuits.Listening InThe Influence of AdvertisingRichard: Dad, I need a pair of new shoes for an important basketball game. My old ones look kind of funny. Father: Funny! We just bought those last spring. There's a lot of life left in them.Richard: But look at this ad with Yao Ming. He says these shoes give him extra spring.Father: Yao Ming is so tall that he doesn't need extra spring. Anyway, he makes more money than I do. And they probably give him millions of dollars to wear those shoes.Richard: But if you bought me the shoes, I'd wear them for nothing. And I'd have that extra spring. Father: Do you think Yao Ming reached the top just because of the shoes he wears? Or was it something else? Richard: You mean like hard work, dedication, that sort of thing?Father: Exactly. Just focus on your studies and forget the shoes.I'll get a camera.One day just before closing time, John rushed into a TV store to buy a color TV set with the money he had savedfor three months. The friendly shop assistant was waiting for the day's last and 100th customer to reach his sales target for his bonus, so he warmly greeted John and showed him the various models on display. He asked John to see how sharp and colorful the image on the screen was. At that moment, a new commercial came onto the screen, introducing a popular brand of camera as well as some beautiful pictures it had taken. The camera and the pictures attracted John. He suddenly changed his mind and told the shop assistant: "Thank you for the TV commercial. Now I have to hurry to the camera store to get that camera."Don't even think about it!"Don't even think about it!" is a phrase commonly used in the United States when a person emphatically denies or refuses something.In 1995, Shaquille O'Neal, a popular basketball player, made a Pepsi commercial in which this phrase was used. The commercial begins with Shaq playing basketball, and a little kid is watching him. Then the boy cries out the name of this basketball star. Shaq turns to see the kid with a Pepsi in his hand. He walks over to the boy and says "Hey, can I have it?" He bends over, supposing that his admirer will give him the Pepsi. But then the kid says, "Don't even think about it!" This commercial was rather popular, and it had been shown on TV for about three years.The commercial seems to have a more dramatic effect than that produced by the Coca-Cola company in the 1970s. In the Coke ad a young boy meets football star "Mean" Joe Green as he is leaving the field after a game. The boy gives his hero a bottle of Coke, and in exchange for the drink, the football player throws his towel to the boy, who excitedly catches the souvenir.The phrase "Don't even think about it!" is used on many other occasions. Visitors to New York City are often amused to see a road sign with these words: "Don't even think about parking here." This road sign means that people are strictly prohibited from parking there.Ⅴ.Let’s talkJob Ad for a Friendly EmployeeA firm advertising for a "friendly" employee has been asked to change its wording because it discriminates against unfriendly people.Travelco, a travel agency, put in a request for a "friendly employee" to provide food for its staff. But the Job Center in Bristol told managing director Harry Smith that he would have to remove the word "friendly" before the advertisement could be accepted.Mr. Smith said he could not believe the decision and thought it was "ridiculous". He said: "We were told we could not use that particular word because it was discriminatory against people who looked unfriendly. We thought it was ridiculous. It's only too natural for us to specify what kind of people we want." He added, "The people at the center have since said they thought they had been a little over the top."The center had made it a rule that certain words were not allowed in ads and the words "motivated" and "enthusiastic" had been banned in the past.An official of the center said: "We do have guidelines of not using personality characteristics in advertisements to ensure that there is no discrimination in the process."She added: "We should leave the dispute to the local judges. They'll make the final decision. It's possible that a member of our staff has been over-enthusiastic in cutting out words in ads."Ⅵ.Further Listening and SpeakingTask1:Banning Cigarette AdsNancy: Hey, Robert, what do you think about cigarette ads?Robert: They're disgusting. Many countries have banned tobacco ads completely.Nancy: I heard in the States advertisers are not allowed to show young people smoking cigarettes, neither are ads targeted at youth allowed.Robert: But advertisers keep finding ways around the law. Some years ago one cigarette ad showed a deer smoking, but it was dressed in a university sweater. Obviously the ad is trying to attract young people. Nancy: In order to increase sales, they have to make smoking appealing to young people. Make them think it's cool.Robert: Right. Cigarette manufacturers need to keep bringing in new customers. The old ones are dying of lung cancer.Nancy: Good point. Our Student Union should do some publicity against smoking on campus.Robert: I couldn't agree more.Task2:A Radio CommercialAre you looking for appliances or furniture to give new life to your home?Look no further! Here at Frontier Furniture, we have everything you need to give your home a new look and feel.Stereos, video machines, refrigerators, dining tables, washers and dryers. You name it; we have it!

So, come on in, and let us make your dream home a reality.Task3:An Introduction to AdvertisingAdvertising has become increasingly specialized in modern times. In today's business world, supply usually outnumbers demand. There is great competition among different manufacturers of the same kind of product to attract customers to their product. They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturers advertise in the newspapers and on posters. They sometimes pay for songs about their products in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organize competitions, with prizes for the winners. They often advertise on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television, they have advertisements put into programs that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. Sometimes they even spend more on ads than on the products themselves. We buy a particular product because we think it is the best. We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.。
上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 4
中级口译听力教程第三版2AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Unit four. Part one. How children learn social behaviors.2. Exercises. 1. This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors. Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk.W: Hi, welcome. Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure. There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children. But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home. I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling. First then, let’s discuss rewards. A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior. An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV. Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well. For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked.2. Now listen to the second part of the talk. Provide the missing information in the spaces given below.The opposite of the reward is a punishment. Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized. All of us have probably been punished in our lives. For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test. Both rewards and punishments are controversial. Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often. Let’s take this situation. A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage. Listen to situation A. The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie. Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe. They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility. Situation B would go something like this. David please take out the trash now. And David says OK dad. Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical. Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved. For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them. But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything. And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse. According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse. Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families.Part 2. Statements. 3. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear.1.

Listen to the following conversation about Simon’s family. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Hello, Simon. I’d like to talk to you about your family.M: Well, probably the most important influence in my life was my family. Not just my mother and father, but my extended family. I grew up very close to them. I had never really sawpeople out besides my family. And we lived together in a 3 generation house.W: Three generations in one house? That’s am azing!M: I remember feeling when I was in the car, and we were going some place with my parents and grand-parents. I used to feel sorry for all the other children on the street, because they weren’t going anywhere with their own families. So I was very h appy.W: Weren’t there ever any problems with you all live in the same house?M: Well, there was a time when I was in college. And you see my father always wanted his children with him. He was actually more protective of us than my mother was. And I remember I had a big project to do for school. And they were going away for the weekend, and I had decided that I wasn’t going to go because I needed to do my work. And this caused a terrible problem. And I did end up going because my father was so upset. So I think of course as I got older I started to realize that I had to live my own life. But it wasn’t that easy. W: How many children were there?M: Well, I was the oldest of three boys. And of course we used to dance and roller-skate in the basement and pl ay together, I didn’t play with children on my block very much.W: It sounds like you had a really good up-bringing.M: Well, I had very positive feelings about my family. And the most positive feeling is love. What I learned from different people in my family and perhaps some of my best traits, my father was a very generous person, and I learned that you should care about other people. Questions:1) Which of the following statements is true about Simon’s family?2) According Simon what was the problem with his family?3) How many children were there in Simon’s family?4) Simon says he has very positive feelings about his family. What is the most positive feeling according to him?2. Growing up in the single parent house hold. This is a conversation about a single parent family. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Michael, I know you grew up in a single parent house hold. Can you tell me about your family?M: OK. My mother and father migrated to the US from Mexico when I was 5 years old, and my sister was 3. But then my mother left my father, so it was just my mother, my sister and myself. And my mother was a garnered worker. You know, sewing. But that industry is seasonal. So when there was work she worked a lot, then she would find people to take care of us until she got home. When we were a little older we pretty much took care of ourselves. W: Did you play with other kids in the neighborhood much?M: Oh, yeah, there was a good stretch when I was in junior high school and played out in the street a lot. After school I would be out and just play stick ball, marbles, yoyo, just ran around the neighborhood.W: What kind of lessons do you think you learn from your mother?M: Well, I guess there were 2 things. The first thing I remember is being taught to pretty much take care of myself. You know, picking up after yourself around the house. And I remember her teaching me cooking, cleaning, and ironing, and I remember running errands because in dinner time there was always something she had forgotten to get.W: You said you learned 2 lessons.M: I guess the other lesson was just, you know, how important it is to get an education. I remember she wanted us to learn Spanish, so she bought a blackboard and started teaching us in the house.W: Well, Michael, over the past generation or so, family structures has changed a lot. How important do you think these changes are?M: Well, I don’t really know if it has changed that much. Sure, there has been an increasing single par ent households. But I don’t know if the family has really changed. But I do think is important is having a person in the family who does what has to be done to show you the right way, so that you get an education, moral instruction, religious outlook, some positive influences in you life, and anger in your life. So, for example, school was very influential in my life. There were enough good teachers to really point me in the right direction. It’s not just what you get in the home, but other positive influences as well.Questions:1) Who compose Michael’s family when his parents separated?2) What was his mother’s job at that time?3) Michael says he learned 2 lessons from his mother, what was the first lesson?4) What was the second lesson he learned from his mother?5) Which of the following statements is true about Michael’s life?3. Is there any advice you could give parents? This is a conversation about adolescence. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Peter, they say that adolescence is the time when people begin to get most pressure from their peers. Do you think that’s true?M: What I have seen is that adolescence is the time when the pressure begins to shift from the family and the school to friends. I think it begins about 11, but comes into full bloom at about 13, 14.W: What actually happens then?M: Well, the first thing you see is that adolescence begins to make fashion statements. And certainly those ideas don’t come from you. You can tell at a glance that they don’t come from you, like wearing baggy pants that look like it falling down, and piercing their ears. My younger son began to ask if he could dye his hair blue.W: And what did you say?M: We said when he was a little older, he could make that decision, with the hope that that fad would have passed out of style.W: OK, but where would you draw the line? I mean you let him wear baggy pants, but would you let him dye his hair?M: I think in the end I would, but not without a fight.W: So what other things happen?M: Well, as the kids get older you start to lose them, because they are always talking on the phone or talking on line or doing other things. Even when they are home they are in their room most of the time talking on the phone and not just talking on the phone, they might be talking to one person on the phone and to other people on line. And the only thing you know for sure is they are not talking to you.W: Do you think this is all normal behavior? I mean should you be trying to monitor it?M: I think both. It’s healthy to develop your own values, your own tastes. But I also think thatparents should be monitoring it. When it’s a question of fashion, that’s OK. Where you draw the line is when they are doing something dangerous or illegal, drugs, smoking, drinking. W: Is there any advice you could give parents?M: Well, one thing is to think back to your own experiences as a teenager. I must say I find myself repeating the same annoying language my father used with me. I have to try to remember not to do that.W: So how you talked to your kids is important.M: Yes, and it’s hard to watch your kids doing things you don’t want them to do. For example, my kids are into video games. And I can’t find any value whatsoever in these games. But I think you don’t have to like everything your kids do, as long as it’s not dangerous or illegal. Questions:1) What are they talking about in the short conversation?2) According to the conversation adolescence likes to do several things. Which of the following is not one of these things?3) Apart from arguments with their kids, what other things happen to parents as their children get older?4) What is the parents’ right attitude towards such behavior of their kids?5) What advice does the man give to parents at the end of the conversation?Part four.

It doesn’t matter whether your company is a large one or a small one. What does matter is having a business plan to make the idea a reality. A plan is essential for any business. It is like a map for your business as to where you’re going to go. And a business plan is the very best way to get started because when you do a business plan you go from “A” to “Z” in figuring out every aspect: how much money you need; how many people you’ll need; whether you’ll need people. It gives you a way of prediction where the business may go so you can position yourself to respond intelligently and use the least amount of money. So a business plan is even more critical for those budding entrepreneurs that don’t have much money, for it can help to use the limited resources in the very best way.Part 5 Do you know … ?80 100oldest largest fastest growing 1919 school hours organized operated forming Localdeveloped shares materials producedprofits owned business operate1974 classrooms programs 5 18 2 700 000 85 0005 11 Volunteer main rules organized made sold economymoney industry trade families communities12 14 business expert Project economic theories supply demand corporations world trade12 14 Economics leaving completingcontinuing game jobs education money get earn need want high school。
