Can you think of any others Vegetables are good for people and for some animals such as pigs and rabbits.Farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh are called truck farms. Truck farms are usually close to big cities. Each day hundreds of loads of fresh vegetables are brought to stores on the farmers' trucks. Without the truck farmers people in cities would not eat well. And without city people who eat fresh vegetables; the truck farmers would have no work.There are many kinds of fruit.

Some of these are Christmas tree farms. Others are large forests where trees are grown for their wood. The wood is used for buildings; furniture and firewood. Some tree farms grow only nut trees.Task 2答案1 The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars.2 The agencies called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.原文Two United Nations agencies are expressing concern about the safety of some pesticides used to kill insects. They report that about thirty percent of all pesticides sold in developing countries fail to meet widely accepted rules for quality. They say these products are a serious threat to human health and the environment.The UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World HealthOrganization gave the warning.In developing countries; pesticides are used mainly for agriculture. Pesticides kill insects and other organisms that threaten crops. Pesticides also are used for public health. They control insects that spread disease; such as mosquitoes that spread malaria.The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars. They say the estimated market value of pesticides worldwide was thirty-two thousand million dollars.Officials say poor quality pesticides often contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals often are banned or restricted in some countries.Possible causes of low quality in pesticides include production problems and failure to use the right chemicals. Officials say the active chemicals in many pesticides are stronger than those permitted by many governments. They also say poor quality pesticides may contain poisonous substances or substances that are not pure.Officials say the quality of pesticide containers and product information on the containers are other concerns. They say information on the containers often fails to explain the active chemicals and how to use the product safely.The WHO says products listing false information have been sold for years in some areas. The agencies say the problem of poor quality pesticides is widespread in parts of Africa south of the Sahara Desert. They called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.Officials say the agencies' rules are especially important for developing countries. They say developing countries often lack systems for testing pesticides.Task 3答案A.1 c 2 d 3 bB.That’s because they’re making an investment all the time; but are still not sure whether or not they can make profits.原文Interviewer: Cattle raising and beef in the US is big business; isn't itBob Beck: Yes; it's the largest business—cattle business.Interviewer: It must be a very profitable business then.Bob Beck: Uh; not necessarily.Interviewer: It's not necessarily a profitable businessBob Beck: At times; it's not profitable.

《现代大学英语听力1》Unit 1习题答案及原文
Task 1Okay, Okay, let’s begin. Hello,everyone. My name is Susan Hudson, and I’ll be your teacher for this class, International Communication.Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in room 405 during the last two months of the class.Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well.Task 2Librarian: Can I help you?Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven’t been able to find it.Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?Student:Yes, uh… I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is. Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It’s down the hall and to the right.Student: I’m sorry, I still don’t understand what you mean by on reserve.Librarian: You see, your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.Student: So, will I be able to find this book?Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.Librarian: Will there be anything else?Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!Task 3Hello and welcome to the university library. This taped tour will introduce you to our library facilities and operating hours.First of all, the library’s collection of books, reference materials, and other resources are found on levels 1 to 4 of this building. Level 1 houses our humanities and map collections.On level 2, you will find our circulation desk, current periodicals and journals, and our copy facilities. Our science and engineering sections can be found on level 3. You can also find back issues of periodicals and journals older than six months on this level. Finally, group study rooms, our microfilm collection and the multimedia center are located on level 4.Undergraduate students can check out up to 5 books for 2 weeks. Graduate students can check out 15 books for 2 months. Books can be renewed up to 2 times. There is a 50-cents-a-day late fee for overdue books up to a maximum of $15. Periodicals and reference books cannot be checked out.The library is open weekdays, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 8:30 pm. The library is closed on Sundays.Task 4Randall: Hi Faith. Do you have a minute?Faith: Sure. What’s up?Randall: Well, I just wanted to go over the schedule for Wednesday’s orientation meeting to make sure everything is ready.Faith: Okay. Here’s a copy of the tentative schedule. [OK.] Now, the registration starts at 8:30 and goes until 9:15. [All right.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at 9:30.Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until 10:30, but now we have someone from the international center coming to speak to the students on extra-curricular activities, so how about ending the meeting around 11?Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from 11:15 until noon [OK.], followed by 20-minute break before lunch. [OK] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a 45-minute tour starting at 1:30. [Oh.OK] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.Randall: Great. Now, how about the oral interviews?Faith: Well, we’re planning to start them at 2:15.Randall:Uh, well, teachers are going to be up to their ears in preparations, and they’ll be hard pressed to start then.Faith: OK, let’s get things rolling around 2:45.Randall: OK, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk?Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a haystack. [Oh, it’s not that bad.] Here, use mine.Randall:OK. And we’ll need 150 copies of this programme guide by then.Faith: Hey. That’s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don’t have to worry about them? Randall: OK. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.Faith: OK. So the interviews will go from 2:45 until, let’s say, 4:30.[OK.] I hope we can wrap things up by 5.Randall: Great. I think the bottom line is to keep things running smoothly throughout the day.Faith: I agree. I’ll pass this schedule by the director for a final look.Task 5Receptionist: Good morning.

现代大学英语听力听力原文及题目答案U n i t 公司内部档案编码：[OPPTR-OPPT28-OPPTL98-OPPNN08]I had two months until my new job began. It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start. I spent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges. I read boring rule books. I drove to the rinks where the skaters trained, and made notes about our conversations. I even took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.Unit 6Task 1【答案】A.[d]—[b]—[a]—[e]—[c]B.a【原文】Laura usually leaves the offices of Quest Productions at about 5 o'clock, but last Monday she left at 5:30. She wanted to get home by 6:30 and she ran to the bus stop but she couldn't get on a bus. There were too many people and not enough buses. Laura was desperate to get home so she decided to go by tube.In the station she went to one of the automatic ticket machines but she didn't have enough change, so she had to join the queue at the ticket window. She bought her ticket and ranto the escalator. Laura went to the platform and waited for the tube. It arrived and the crowd moved forward.Laura was pushed into the train. It was almost full but she was given a seat by a man with a moustache. Laura thanked him and sat down. She started to read her newspaper. In the tunnel the train stopped suddenly and Laura was thrown to the floor together with the man with the moustache. Somebody screamed. The lights went out. It was quarter past 6 on a cold, wet December evening.Task 2【答案】A.1) a 2) b 3) d 4) cB.1) T 2) T 3) FC.wondered; television plays; exciting; every cigarette lighter; tape recorder; held in a certain way; the touch of a gold ring against the hand of; reveal; How wrong they were【原文】X was a secret agent. He had rented a furnished room in a provincial town not far from the public park and had been theretwo weeks. He was standing at the window looking out at thedull beds of geraniums, the park gates and the cold, uninviting statue of Queen Victoria that stood across the street from him, It was raining hard and the few people who passed by looked wet and miserable. X was miserable, too. How, he wondered, could anybody think there was anything interesting about the life of a secret agent He knew it was because people had seen so many television plays about glamorous spies that they thought the life of a secret agent was exciting. They were convinced that every cigarette lighter concealed a secret tape recorder; that a fountain pen held in a certain way would open a locked door, that the touch of a gold ring against the hand of an enemy would make him reveal all his secrets. How wrong they were! He looked round his room. The wallpaper was in the worst possible taste, the pictures horrible, the carpet worn, dirty and faded; and he was cold. This was the third Monday he had come to the window to look out. He prayed it would be the last.As if in answer to his prayer, a certain meeting he had been sent to investigate was about to take place. He took out his camera. Just beneath the statue two women had stopped to speak. He knew one of them, and it was she who pointed in hisdirection. The other woman looked up towards him and in thatbrief moment he photographed her.Task 3【答案】A.B.1) a 2) b 3) c 4) b 5) d【原文】Harry: Well, Robert, have you made up your mind yet what you want to do when you leave collegeNora: Oh Harry. Surely he's a bit young to decide on his career. He hasn't even got to college yet.Harry: Not at all, Nora. It's wisest to decide in good time.Look at me, for example. I really wanted to be a sailor,but now I spend my days sitting at a desk in an office.Yes, it's silly to train for the wrong job. And after all, Robert will be going to college soon.Nora: Now if I were a man I'd be a farmer. To see the crops growing--that's my idea of a good life.Harry: Yes, and to see the money rolling in is more important still.Robert: Well, that's not the way I look at it, Dad. It's thejob I care about, not the money.Harry: Maybe not; but you'll learn to care about the money too, when you've got a family to keep.Nora: And of course Peter — well, he's keen to be a racing driver, or else an explorer.Robert: Oh, Peter's not old enough to make up his mind about such things.Harry: You haven't answered my question yet, Robert. Whatwould you like to doNora: Are you sure you don't want to be a farmer, Robert Or a market gardenerRobert: No, I'm sorry Mum, but I don't want to at all. I'd rather be a civil engineer. I want to build roads andbridges.Harry: Not ships Isn't it better to be a shipbuilding engineer Robert: Look here, is it my career we're planning, or yoursHarry: All fight, all right, there's no need to lose your temper. But you'd better win that scholarship first.Task 4【答案】I. correspondents; columnistA. may not need eitherB. to go to places where events take place and write stories about themII. first; bigger; better; who will soon leave to work for other peopleIII. working hours; free time; work long hours to begin with 【原文】Here are some of the things a young man or woman should not do when he first asks an editor for a job:He should not tell the editor that he wants to be a foreign correspondent or a columnist. Very probably the editor does not need either. He wants a reporter who will go to such places as government offices and police stations and write a true story of what is happening there. Being a foreign correspondent or a columnist will come later.A young person should not tell tile editor that newspaper work is only the first step on the way to bigger and better jobs, such as those in government. The editor must take a lot of time and trouble teaching someone to be a good newspapermanor woman. He does not like the idea of teaching people who are soon going to leave him to work for someone else.A young journalist should accept the working hours andfree time the editor gives him. As a new journalist, it is very probable that he will work longer hours than others and work on weekends. The editor did the same when he was a young newspaperman with no experience. He expects a journalist to understand how things are on a newspaper.Task 5【答案】A.1) acd 2) abeB.1) she is the wrong sex 2) she wears the wrong clothes【原文】SYLVIA: We've got a new manager in our department.LARRY: Oh You hoped to get that job, didn't youSYLVIA: Yes, I did.LARRY: I'm sorry.

He also likes the way elderly teacher are.【原文】Interviewer: Do you prefer what you're doing to teaching John Smith: Yes, one of the things I found a bit frustrating about teaching was that it was rather,very intangible than um, especially if you're teaching in England and most of the students know quite a lot of English before they arrive. They learn a lot of English outside the classroom, in pubs or coffee shops or other places, with thefamilies they're living with. It's very difficult to pin down how much they learn from your actual lesson, whereas in marketing um, again there are lots of areas that are gray rather than black or white, but there are quite a few other areas where one can see quite clearly the results of one's efforts.Interviewer: What did you do after you quit your job in advertisingSecond Man: In fact, I became a journalist and I worked as a freelance. I didn't have a full-time job with anynewspaper. I just had to contribute things as theycame along and 1 wrote for magazines, and I didquite a lot of broadcasting for the VOA. Well, thiswas in a way the opposite of advertising because Ienjoyed it a lot but I found it very hard to earnenough money to live on.Interviewer: And then you decided to be a teacherSecond Man: Well, and so I thought. Well, I must do something which produces an income that I can be sure of.While I was working as a journalist I had done anarticle for a magazine about the English languageteaching world and m fact I had come to the schoolwhere I now teach as a journalist and interviewed alot of the people. And I thought it seemed a verynice place and I thought that the classes I visitedhad a very, very nice feeling about them, and so Ithought, well, I'll see if they'll have me.Interviewer: Why do you prefer teaching to advertisingSecond Man: Well, partly because in teaching you work regular hours. It I advertising you just had to stay at theoffice until the work was finished [I see.] and itcould be three o'clock in the morning. [Oh, dean]Also you were very often made to work at weekends.Often some job would come up that was very importantand they said it had to be finished — it had to gointo the newspapers next week.Interviewer: So there was a lot mom pressure.Second Man: There was a lot more pressure in advertising. Also, the people I worked with when I was first inadvertising were young hopeful people like myself.By the end I was working with a lot of old peoplewho quite honestly were awful. And I kept looking atthem and saying, "Am I going to be like that" And Ithought if I am I'd better get out, whereas theEnglish language teachers I saw, who were olderpeople I thought, well, they seemed quite nice. AndI wouldn't mind being like that myself.Task 8【答案】The interview with Michale:The interview with Chris:【原文】Matthew: Michael, do you go out to workMichael:Not regularly, no. I... I used to; I used to have a job in a publishing company, but Idecided it wasn't really what I wanted to do and that whatI wanted to do wouldn't earn me much money, so I gave upworking and luckily I had a private income from my familyto support me and now I do the things I want to do. Someof them get paid like lecturing and teaching, and othersdon't.Matthew: What are the advantages of not having to go to work from nine till fiveMichael: Ah... there' re two advantages really. One is that if you feel tired you don't have to get up, and the other isthat you can spend your time doing things you want to dorather than being forced to do the same thing all the time.Matthew: But surely that's in a sense very self-indulgent and very lucky because most of us have to go out and earn our livings. Do you feel justified in having this privileged positionMichael: Yes, because I think I use it well. I do things whichI think are useful to people and the community and which Ienjoy doing.Matthew: Chris, what do you think the value of work isChris: Well, I think in our present-day society, for most people, work has very little value at all. Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do things which are either totally futile andtotally useless or have very little justificationwhatsoever, and for most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive, to pay forsomewhere to live, to pay to feed our children.Matthew: But surely people wouldn't know what to do if they didn't have to go to workChris: Well, again this raises the sort of two main aspects of work. Should we think of 'work only as a sort of bread-winning process, and this is very much the role it has in current society, or should we take a much widerperspective on work and think of all the possible sort of activities that human beings could be doing during the dayI think the sort of distinction currently is between say,someone who works in a car factory and who produces cars which are just adding to pollution, to over-consumption of vital resources, who is doing something which is veryharmful, both to our environment and to, probably society, to contrast his work with someone perhaps like a doctor, who I think in any society could be justified as doing a very valuable job and one which incidentally is satisfying to the person who is doing it.Matthew: What do you do Is your job just a breadwinning process or do you get some satisfaction out of doing it Chris: Well, in the job I do find that most of thesatisfaction is a mental one; it's coming to grips withthe problems of my subject and with the problems ofteaching in the University. Clearly this is the type ofsatisfaction that most people doing what we call inEngland "white-collar" jobs. This is quite different from the sort of craftsman, who is either working that hishands or with his skills on a machine, or from peopleperhaps who are using artistic skills, which are of aquite different character. Certainly it's becoming aphenomena that people who do "white-collar jobs during theday, who work with their minds to some extent, people whowork on computers, people who are office clerks, bankemployees, these people have fairly soul-destroying jobswhich nevertheless don't involve much physical effort,that they tend to come home and do "do-it-yourself"activities at home. They make cupboard, paint their houses, repair their cars, which somehow provide the sort ofphysical job satisfaction that they're denied in theirworking day.Task 9【答案】A.B.1) No major change. For some→“less paperwork”Some:→less working hoursOthers:→earn more money.2) Most adults→would go on working.Esp. young adults (18 to 24)→9 out of 10 would go on working 【原文】Are most workers today feeling bored and dissatisfied with their jobs It is often claimed that they are. Yet a study conducted by Parade magazine more than 20 years ago showed that people at that time felt the opposite.Parade asked questions of a representative sampling of adult Americans from coast to coast. The sampling included different sexes, age groups, and occupations.The interviewees were asked to make a choice from one of the following three to describe their feelings towards their work.A. Like their jobs.B. Dislike their jobs.C. Like their jobs in part,Results showed that 91 percent of the male interviewees and 84 percent of the females chose A, while only 5 percent men and 12 percent women interviewed chose B. The rest said thatthey liked their jobs in part and they comprised a very tow percentage.In all the three age groups — from 18 to 24, from 25 to 29 and 30 to 39 — those who liked theirjobs made up the majority. 70 percent, 88 percent and 92 percent respectively choose A. Those choosing B accounted for 20 percent, 9 percent and 8 percent of different age groups. And the rest, 6 percent, 3 percent and 0 percent respectively claimed that they only liked their jobs in part.The difference in responses among people with different occupations is small. Among the white-collar employees, those choosing A, B and C are 87 percent, 8 percent and 4 percent of the total. And for the blue-collar employees, 91 percent, 5 percent and 3 percent choose A, B and C respectively.It is interesting to note that there are few differences in attitude between men and women, professionals and factory workers. In each group, the largest number reported that they liked their jobs.Next, Parade asked, "If there were one thing you could change about your job, what would it be" It was expected that many would wish to make their jobs less boring, but very few gave this reply. No major changes were reported. Some wishedfor "less paperwork"; many would shorten their working hours,but others would like more hours in order to earn more money.No serious complaints were made.Most people have to work in order to live. But what would happen if someone had enough money to stop working Parade asked, "If you inherited a million dollars, would you go on working —either at your present job or something you liked better--or would you quit work" The answers showed that most adults would prefer to work, even if they didn't have to. This is true especially of the younger adults aged 18-24. Of these, nine out often said they would go on working, even if they suddenly became millionaires.Task 10【答案】A.B.1) F 2) TC.1) b 2) aD.1.

This is Catherine Hunt, and I'm her mother.Officer: How do you do, Mrs. Hunt Hello, Catherine.Cathy: Hello. Pleased to meet you.Officer: And you'd like some advice about choosing a career- Mother: Yes, she would. Wouldn't you, CatherineCathy: Yes, please.Officer: Well, just let me ask a few questions to begin with. How old are you, CatherineMother: She's nineteen. Well, she's almost nineteen.Officer: And what qualifications have you gotMother: Well, qualifications from school, of course. Very goodresults she got. And she got certificates for ballet and for playing the piano.Officer: Is that what you're interested in, Catherine, dancing and musicCathy: Well...Mother: Ever since she was a little girl, she's been very keen on music and dancing. She ought tobe a music teacher or something. She's quite willing totrain for a few more years to get the right job, aren'tyou, CatherineCathy: Well, if it's a good idea.Mother: There you are, you see. She's a good girl really, a bit lazy and disorganized sometimes,but she's very bright. I'm sure the careers officerwill have lots of jobs for you.Officer: Well, I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. There are many young people these days who can'tfind the job they want.Mother: I told you, Catherine. I told you, you shouldn't wear that dress. You have to look smart toget a job these days.Officer: I think she looks very nice. Mrs. Hunt, will you come into the other office for a momentand look at some of the information we have there. I'msure you'd like to see how we can help young people. Mother: Yes, I'd love to. Mind you, I think Catherine would bea nice teacher. She could work with young children. She'dlike that. Or she could be a vet. She's always lookingafter sick animals.Officer: I'm afraid there's a lot of competition. You need very good results to be a vet. This way, Mrs. Hunt. Just wait a minute, Catherine.(The mother exits.)Officer: There are just one or two more things, Catherine. Cathy: Do call me Cathy.Officer: OK, Cathy. Are you really interested in being a vet Cathy: Not really. Anyway, I'm not bright enough. I'm reasonably intelligent, but I'm not brilliant. I'm afraid my mother is a bit over-optimistic.Officer: Yes, I guessed that. She's a bit overpowering, isn't she, your mumCathy: A bit. But she's very kind.Officer: I'm sure she is. So, you're interested in ballet and music, are youCathy: Not really. My mother sent me to lessons when I was six, so I'm quite good, I suppose. But I don't think I want to do that for the rest of my life, especially music. It's so lonely.Officer: What do you enjoy doingCathy: Well, I like playing tennis, and swimming. Oh, I went to France with the school choir last year. I really enjoyedthat. And I like talking to people. But I suppose you mean real interests — things that would help me to get a job Officer: No. I'm more interested in what you really want to do.You like talking to people, do youCathy: Oh yes, I really enjoy meeting new people.Officer: Do you think you would enjoy teachingCathy: No, no, I don't really. I was never very interested in school work, and I'd like to do something different.Anyway, there's a teacher training college very near us.It would be just like going to school again.Officer: So you don't want to go on trainingCathy: Oh, I wouldn't mind at all, not for something useful. I wondered about being a hairdresser — you meet lots ofpeople, and you learn to do something properly—but Idon't know. It doesn't seem very worthwhile.Officer: What about nursingCathy: Nursing In a hospital Oh, I couldn't do that, I'm not good enough.Officer: Yes, you are. You've got good qualifications in English and Maths. But it is very hard work.Cathy: Oh, I don't mind that.Officer: And it's not very pleasant sometimes.Cathy: That doesn't worry me either. Mum's right. I do look after sick animals. I looked after our dog when it was run over by a car. My mother was sick, but I didn't mind. Iwas too worried about the dog. Do you really think I could be a nurseOfficer: I think you could be a very good nurse. You'd have to leave home, of course.Cathy: I rather think I should enjoy that.Officer: Well, don't decide all at once. Here's someinformation about one or two other things which might suit you. Have a look through it before you make up your mind.Task 11【原文】I began my career during college, reporting on news stories at a Toronto radio station. The station’s program manager was also a professor who taught one of my classes. I convinced him that she needed a youth reporter because that year was International Youth Year. After graduation, I took a job as a television news reporter and later, news anchor. But sports reporting was something different, so I decided to try it. Figure skating was my first assignment.I had two months until my new job began. It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start. I spent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges. I read boring rule books. I drove to the rinks where the skaters trained, and made notes about our conversations. I even took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.。

He called his old job “boring trips to Manchester to sell vast quantities of PVC”.2) He thought that there was far more job satisfaction, and believed that he wasmaking money, rather than making money for other people.3) He’s about to diversify into commercial distribution of imported and domesticallyproduced wine and wines he’s producing himself.Task 11I could hear the guard blowing his whistle, so I ran on to the platform and up to the train.

The compartmentwas full, but I was the only one standing. The people in the carriage turned their eyes away as they noticed me looking at them. All except one, a beautiful woman sitting in the corner. I saw her watching me in the mirror. Automatically, I adjusted my tie. She had seen me running for the train: maybe this was my lucky day after all.

I’m a freshman at Peking University a nd I’m majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I li ke listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several ye ars ago and I’m getting better at it. My fa vorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big pro blem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never see m to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcom e my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I’m a library science major at the National U niversity of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the of ficial languages and you have to be fluent to English to get a good job.I’ve been studying English since high school. I’m good at reading because I li ke learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and art icles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it rally difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library wh ere I can read all kinds of new books.Part CExercise:How to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea,not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen againcarefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main ideaand the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ACommunicative Function1.closing2.opening3.closing4.opening5.opening6.openingListening Strategy1. a2. b3. b4. a5. b6. a7. b8. a9. b 10. bPart BTextExercise 1:1. 1) b 2) c 3) a2. dExercise 2:1. a. age b. money c. people's appearance2. a. ...say that again? I did not catch it./ b. ...speak more slowly, please?3. a....I really need to be going./ ...nice talking to you.How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness t o make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have cou rage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But o thers, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are so me good ways to open a conversation.Weather –I t sure is cold today, isn’t it?News –Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, th ough. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I did n’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite w ay. “Well, I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are freq uently used by people to end a conversation.Part CSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in Engla nd want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to r emember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five o f the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happ y article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smil ing students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while s miling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’r e right. The frowning students.The specialist don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are conti nuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Unit 3Part ACommunicative FunctionMaggie likes swimming but she does not care for skiing. She loves flying o n planes and traveling by train but she hates getting on buses because they are too crowded and dirty. she is not interested in playing the piano and she pr efers reading to playing computer games.

A busy life2.Between 6 and 15 hours3.Reading. remain current4.revise and updateWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much mor e than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty t o eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which the y revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare not es than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experi ments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behin d closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow’s classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must fe el strongly about the importance of the college experience.Unit 4Part ACommunicative Function1.Yeah/ By the way/ Who?/ Don't you think so?/ Yes./ Quite well.2.Like what?/ Yeah/ Hmmm, let me think./ Well./ Come to think of it.

Have a good time a t the party.Note:Small talk means light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at eas e.Part CExercise: 1. F 2.T 3.

The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped ther e before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was s hocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly sta ined. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediat ely to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and the two other an gry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bo ught some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very w orried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a second hand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hot el. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selli ng the defective goods right away.The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladie s’ purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.Unit 7Part ACommunicative Function1.O,2.O3.F4.F5.O6.F7.O8.O9.F 10.O 11.O 12.FListening Strategy(omitted)Part BTextExercise 1: 1.a 2.dExercise 2:Steve Wellsa university juniorB averagea lifeguard for two summersin an apartmenthard working and reliableseldom absent from work and always on timepay the rent of the apartmenta clerk in the mailroom2 to 6 am Monday through FridayMinimumWe Have an Opening NowMs. Campbell: Have a seat, Mr. Wells.

The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He’d had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehou se where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred’s job was to unpack the merchandise newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing.One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps and he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred’s hands a nd shattered into a thousand pieces.Fred was called immediately to the manager’s office, and he was sure he woul d be fired. The you ng man’s spirits began to drop.“I’ll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for,” the m anager said sternly.“How much is the vase worth?” Fred asked.“$350”A wide grin spread across the young man’s face. “That’s wonderful!” he sho uted happily. “At last I have a steady job!”Part CExercise: 1.d 2.c 3.d 4.b 5.bMark HillMark Hill is a traffic police officer in Watford, near London.

On average they have to deal with three to fou r accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:“We deal with anyone in the accident who is injured. That’s the first thing. Then we have to clear the road and get the traffic moving again.”“Most accidents happen because people drive too fast—especially when the ro ads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers don’t follo w the rules. For example, I’ve seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking o n the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you want to overtake, you have to go i nto the fast lane on the right.”“Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.“I like my job. I have a varied working day—I never know what I’m going to do from one day to the next.

Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American's best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students' records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.In addition to the SAT I, some universities require high school students to take at least three SATⅡs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.KeyA.

The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math, science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam.
