You did seem a bit nervous, though.Phil: Yeah, I know … your Argentinian friends always stand so close! I kept feeling uncomfortable and wanting to move away. But I didn’t, because Ididn’t want to seem rude…Gloria:Oh, you shouldn’t worry too much about that. They know you are British;they wouldn’t have been offended!Phil: I hope not! So, … do you feel uneasy when we spend time with my close friends?Gloria: Well, I actually do feel a bit strange … you Brits keep so much distance even from your best friends!Phil: I suppose it must seem a bit … er, I don’t know… “cold” to you? Gloria: Well, a little maybe. You know how, uh … what do you call it, hm …“touchy-feely” we Argentinians are!Phil:I think British people and Argentinians just have very different ideas about personal space.Gloria:Definitely! But why do we have such a difference?Phil:Maybe it has something to do with the weather? People from hotter countries do seem to express their emotions more openly and be morephysical, while people from colder countries are generally more private anddistant …Gloria: It makes sense to me! I would probably act like that too if I had to live in cold places all the time!While you listen2 1.1. T2. F3.F4. T5. TL ISTENING 2ScriptsHello and welcome to “Andy’s Advice”. As a professional problem-solver, one of the most common requests that I receive from listeners is asking for help in repairing relationships with close friends or family after major arguments. So today, I’d like to share some key strategies to help people avoid getting into this situation in the first place.My first piece of advice is “keep it civilized”. When you find the temperature rising in a conversation, remember not to raise your voice or be rude. You want the argument to seem like a friendly conversation from the outside.Secondly, “think before you speak”. You should remember that words are powerful, and not easily forgotten. So, don’t say things you mig ht regret. Also, always avoid saying things like “You never listen!” or “Y ou always do this!” These kinds of things are rarely true, and just make people even angrier!The last piece of advice could actually replace all of the others ‒“Listen!” To resolv e a conflict, you need to know how the other person feels. Always give other people respect and show that you care about what they have to say. And it’s not enough to just pretend to listen. Really take in what the other person says. You never know, you might even realize that you were in the wrong.While you listen22. 3. 5.31. Raise your voice or be rude.2.

It was morning, and I was having coffee in a bar in Naples. Awell-dressed man of about 80 walked in and ordered “a coffee and a suspended coffee”. A few minutes later, a couple came in and ordered, “Four coffees, please. Two for us and two suspended.” I couldn’t understand what was happening. But a moment later, a man dressed in dirty old clothes came in and asked, “Do you have any suspended coffees?”I suddenly understood. People were paying for an extra coffee so that those who couldn’t afford a cup of coffee could have one for free.I learned later that this tradition had begun in Naples, but it has now spread all over the world. In some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also suspended snacks, sandwiches, and even whole meals!In today’s fast-paced society, people seem to have less and less time to care for each other. Social behaviors like suspended coffee help solve this problem, as well as making it easier for people to express their natural generosity and kindness to others.By the way, before I left the bar, I paid for a couple of suspended coffees myself! While you listen2 1.31. C2. D3. A4. BV IEWINGBefore you watch1. non-verbal2.posture3. gestures4. moodSriptsAlice works at a local department store.She spends most of her day interacting with customers and co-workers.There’s a lot of talking involved but there’s also another form of non-verbal communication that’s being used just as often: body language.Body language is the process of communicating through non-verbal signals. It includes things like our posture, facial expressions, gestures and more.The meanings of these all vary from culture to culture, but we instinctively read body language and interpret it as some expression of moods, feelings or intentions.So, in Alice’s case, even before she speaks, she may be communicating all kinds of things to customers. For example, if her arms are crossed and she’s avoiding eye contact, customers may not find her to be very approachable.However, Alice could be in a friendly mood even though her body language suggests otherwise, and this isn’t necessarily a conscious choice that she’s made. This could just be how she habitually presents herself. But if Alice is aware of these habits, she can work on improving her body language.Changing your habits can be difficult, but if you take time to pause and check in with yourself, you can start to notice them and adjust things to become a better non-verbal communicator. This awareness can also be applied to reading others’ body language.Let’s say Alice notices that her co-worker is unusually quiet as his body is turned away from her and is slouched over. She may pick up that he’s upset or that there’s an unspoken issue at hand. Depending on Alice’s relationship with him, she may want to give him some space, or ask if anything’s wrong.Being aware of the various aspects of body language can make all the difference in how people perceive you, and how you perceive them. Be aware of how you present yourself; you can say a lot without speaking.While you watch21 3 431. D2. A3. DL ISTENING 2V OICE OF C HINAScriptsThe age-old scene of Chinese people fighting to pay the bill in restaurants may soon become a thing of the past, according to a recent survey.In a survey about dining habits, 65% of Chinese people under 30 said that they almost always split the bill when they eat out with friends. With people over 40, that number drops to only 25%!This change has something to do with the increasing popularity of mobile phone payment apps. These apps allow customers to “go Dutch” by s imply scanning a QR code or sending a hongbao on their phones. This way, even large parties can easily split the bill, and won’t feel awkward trying to work out who owes what.The idea of splitting the bill is new to many older Chinese people. Many of them believe that paying the bill is a sign of honor and respect. Many also say they find it uncomfortable to split the bill, and worry about losing face.However, with young people the trend is getting more and more popular. By splitting the bill, they don’t have to worry about spending big money every time they eat out with friends.While you listen21. B2. B3.

What is it?Tarika: It’s my boss’ birthday on Sunday and I don’t know what to get her.Since you’re South Korean, like her, I thought you could help.Han: I’m happy to help. But if I were you, I would probably consider her personal preferences first.Tarika: Oh, I agree with that. However, I still want to avoid breaking any traditional gift-giving rules …Han: Well, you should try to avoid unlucky numbers. For example, inKorean, the number “four” sounds like “death”!Tarika: Oh, right. In India, the number 13 is unlucky … So, do you think chocolates or flowers are a good idea?Han: Absolutely. Gifts like that are simple but classy. However, I think it’s even better if it can be connected to your own culture in some way. Tarika: That’s a good idea. I c ould buy her some traditional Indian sweets. Han: I’m sure she’d love that! Remember, colors can be quite important, too.In South Korea, we never wrap presents in white or black.Tarika: OK, are there any colors they prefer?Han: Yes, blue is a popular color in South Korea.Tarika: Indian sweets wrapped in blue, then!Answers1. B2. A3. CP ASSAGE 1ScriptsThis weekend, Zhang Wei, a Chinese American living in San Francisco, is meeting his two best friends for the first time: Leila, a South African geography teacher, and Colin, a Chilean office worker. The three friends “met” in an online group about their favorite actor: Bruce Lee. They are in San Francisco this weekend for a Bruce Lee Convention.Leila became a fan after catching a Bruce Lee movie on late-night TV. Within weeks, she had seen all of his movies, but no one around her shared her passion.Colin was a weak child, whose parents signed him up for a kung fu training school. There, his teachers introduced him to Bruce Lee. Colin says that Bruce Lee changed his life, inspiring him to become fitter and healthier. However, just like Leila in the city where he lives now, he hasn’t found anyone else who shares his passion.Although the online fan group has many members, Colin, Leila and Zhang Wei were definitely the most dedicated. Almost every day, they go online to chat, post Bruce Lee movie clips, or test each other on the smallest of details from his movies. After two years of being close friends online, they decided to meet at the Bruce Lee Convention.Answers1. A2. D3. AP ASSAGE 2ScriptsGood afternoon, Ms. Watson. Good afternoon, classmates.For my talk today, I am presenting the results of my recent survey about the social rules of instant messaging apps.I asked 100 students what annoyed them the most when using these apps. Here are my findings.Seventy eight of the 100 respondents reported that the thing that annoys them most about using instant messaging apps is receiving voice messages while working, in the classroom or on public transport. Many people commented that they think voice messages sent in the middle of a text conversation are inconsiderate.According to our results, another thing to avoid doing is calling people for a video or audio chat without giving them notice: More than two-thirds of respondents mentioned that these were almost always unwelcome. One respondent commented, “I usually assume something bad has happened when someone calls, so when I find out that it’s just for a chat, I usually feel annoyed.”Among the other things that a majority of respondents found annoying are: being added into groups without being asked first; and being sent too many links.So, do your best to avoid doing these things that I have mentioned when using instant messaging apps, and you can become a polite digital communicator!Answers1. C2. D3. BP ASSAGE 3ScriptsLove is something that everyone treasures. But have you ever thought about how best to express your love to others, in ways they can truly understand and appreciate? In his new book, Gary Chapman describes what he calls the five “love languages” that we can learn to “speak”.1)The first is “words of affirmation”, which means giving praise and positivecomments.2)The second is “quality time”, which means spending time with the people youlove and keeping them company.3)The third is “giving gifts”. Whether big or small, all gifts are valuable signs oflove and appreciation.4)The fourth is “acts of service” – offering support to the people you love andhelping them solve problems.5)The last is “physical touch”, which means expressing your love and affectionthrough hugs and kisses, etc.According to Chapman, most of us enjoy being shown love in all five languages. But it is often the case that we like one or two of them over the others. What is more, theselanguages can be used not only to express romantic love, but also love between family and friends.Answers1. His new book.2. Quality time.3. Acts of service.4. Physical touch.5. Family and friends.。

*Where do I begin to tell the story of how great love can be,The sweet love story that is older than the sea,The simple truth about the love she brings to me?Where do I start?With her first hello, she gave a meaning to this empty world of mine.There'll never be another love another time.She came into my life and made the living fine.She fills my heart, she fills my heart,With very special things, with angel's songs, with wild imaginings.She fills my soul with so much love,That anywhere I go, I'm never lonelyWith her along, who could be lonely?I reach for her hand, it's always there.(Repeat the part marked with "*".)How long does it last?Can love be measured by the hours in a day?I have no answers now but this much I can say.I know I need her till the stars all burn away,And she'll be there, and she'll be there.B2U1_NCE_VLS_ListenSpeak_Listen2Traditionally the heart is the part of the body where emotions come from. If you are a warm-hearted person, for example, you are kind and thoughtful towards others. If you have a heart of gold, you are a very generous person. But if you are heartless, you are cruel and unfeeling.Of all the emotions, it is love that is the most associated with the heart. In love songs, all over the world, love almost always goes together with the heart. As the song from Titanic says, "You are here in my heart and my heart will go on and on. Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime, and never let go till we're gone."Perhaps the role of the heart in love comes from what happens to it when you feel really attracted to someone. The strong feelings of attraction make your breathing speed up and your heart beat faster.B2U1_NCE_VLS_ListenSpeak_Listen3In past generations, the challenge of dating was different. Men and women wanted a partner who could fulfill their basic needs for security and survival. Women looked for a strong man who would be a good bread-winner; men searched for a nurturing woman to make a home. This practice that worked for thousands of years has suddenly changed.The new challenge of dating is to find a partner who not only will be supportive of our physical needs for survival and security but will support our emotional and spiritual needs. Today we want more from our relationships. Millions of men and women around the world are searching for a soul mate to experience lasting love, happiness, and romance.It is no longer enough to just find someone who is willing to marry us, and we want partners who will love us more as they get to know us: We want to live happily ever after. To find and recognize partners who can fulfill our new needs for increased closeness, good communication, and a great love life, we need to update our dating skills.A Mother's LoveYou can see it in her eyes—in her gaze and in her sighs.It is a mother's love.You can feel it in her touch—in her tender hugs and such.It is a mother's love.You can hear it in her words—in her praises and bywords.It is a mother's love.She cares. She understands.She lends an ear and holds our hands.She gives us a mother's love.B2U1_NCE_VLS_MoreListen_Practice2My son's primary school celebrates Valentine's Day in a wonderful way. Each day throughout the month of February, the school honors each student in informal ceremonies. At the ceremony, classmates, teachers and parents get together to deliver compliments to that particular child. They believe that a child's emotional and social skills should be developed alongside their intellectual skills. Learning to acknowledge qualities and strengths in others—and receiving that acknowledgment gracefully—is a very important learning lesson.I know I compliment my son frequently, and certainly try to make sure he knows he is loved. But I realize that I have never actually pointed out, one by one, specific qualities that make him unique and so special to me. And how infrequently we really point out what is special in others. Sure, we say "I love you" or "thanks" regularly, but when do we take the opportunity to really and truly examine what makes a person special? What is unique and different about them?This year, the time was scheduled for my son to receive more than 40 compliments from his peers, teachers, parents, and himself. Each child had their day at the center of the circle, their friends coming up one by one to give a gift of powerful words. This year, my son heard that his thoughtfulness was appreciated, his ideas important, his expressions inspiring. He was also expected to write and deliver a compliment to each of his classmates.B2U1_NCE_VLS_MoreListen_Practice3In the end, I had to ask my husband to read my Valentine compliment to our son. I was simply crying too hard to get the words out. Witnessing the tenderness of school-age children saying what they thought was special about my little boy proved too much for me. But I was not alone. When I warned my son I might get emotional, he said, "That's OK. Lots of parents cry." He was right.This is what my husband read to our son on my behalf:Dear Cole:Your love of language and information has always amazed me. I love learning from you and with you. I admire how new words are so easily incorporated into your vocabulary. I think you are fresh and eager and loving.I admire that relationships are important to you. I like to listen to the connections you make with past experiences. I think you are good at remembering.I love how you are proud of yourself when you try something new. I feel proud, too.I like how your whole body tells a story, and your expressions make me feel good. I am proud of your willingness to express your fears and appreciate the reminder that you will grow at the pace that suits you best. I love your jokes and your fondness for telling them over and over—so I will laugh. I think you are fun to be with.I love that you are my son.I am really grateful to this school for creating a learning environment. These exercises benefit the parents as well as the kids. That, to me, is a Valentine worth giving.B2U1_NCE_VLS_MoreListen_Practice4I grew up in a family with six sisters. In my lifetime I have seen all of them abused by various men in their lives. Even my mother has the scars from two unsuccessful marriages.When I was a teenager, my mother shared some insights into all of their failed relationships. She explained that they really weren't expecting to be treated as queens, but they did desire two things from the men in their lives: to be told frequently that they are loved and to be shown often that they are special. It was at that point that I decided I would be the sort of husband my mom and sisters had dreamed of but never had.When I was dating my wife-to-be I remembered those two points my mother shared with me years earlier. I admit that I struggled trying to be able to express my love in words and in action. For most men, it isn't natural for us to be romantics. But then again, it isn't natural for us to be millionaires or sports superstars. It does take effort, practice and diligence. But the rewards are there.Now we've been married for nine years. I really, truly, deeply love my wife and let her know it every day by what I say and what I do. Our friends and family members all admire us and want to know our secret.B2U1_NCE_VLS_Quiz_Test1Life was very different in the 1950s than it is today. Divorce was not common. Husbands went out to work to support the whole family. Most women didn't work and depended on their husbands' incomes for living. Children didn't come home after school to an empty house as many do today. Families did more things together. One of the favorite family pastimes was a drive in the country. Gas was cheap. People had big cars, and the whole family could ride comfortably. Before TV became popular, people talked to each other more. Children didn't have as many toys, and they played more games together. On Saturdays the neighborhood theaters had special movies for children. The shows cost only 25 cents.People stayed at one job for most of their lives. They didn't change jobs every year like they do today. They also lived in the same house for a long time. They didn't move as much.Services were better in the 1950s. Doctors often came to a sick person's house, especially if you were "sick in bed". Milkmen delivered fresh dairy products daily to homes. There were no self-service gas stations, and attendants used to wash your car windows and check your oil free of charge.B2U1_NCE_VLS_Quiz_Test2Hisham and I will have been married for twenty years this February. Everybody said it would not work. He is Jordanian, Muslim, and I am Italian, Catholic. We met in Florida twenty-two years ago. What we had in common was nothing except youth. He could barely speak the English language, and I thought Arabs were from India. Within a year I found out where Jordan was exactly and he could say "I love you" in broken English.When we got married people actually placed bets at our small wedding in my family's dining room. They thought our relationship would not last a year. Hisham did not tell his parents he was married for almost five years. He felt that if he failed at school his family would blame the marriage. Of course everybody, from Arabs to Americans, thought he married me to get a green card. I knew hedidn't.I lived in his country for six years after graduation and had a son there. Through Hisham's eyes I saw the beauty of his culture and religion and the simple ways of his people. Being from New York and living in Amman, Jordan, I still had my Christmas tree each year, my Easter eggs and even a Halloween pumpkin in the window. I also took some of their ways—cooking, methods of mothering, socializing—and it enhanced my own character in the long run.Throughout the years, I was not the Italian girl from New York, not the American married to the Arab; I was a beautiful blended person with two children and a man who loves me.B2U1_NCE_VLS_Quiz_Test3A man had two large pots for carrying water. One pot had a crack in it, while the other was perfect. At the end of the long walk from the stream to his house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For two years the man had been delivering only one and a half pots full of water everyday to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of itself. And the cracked pot felt ashamed and miserable because it was able to do only half of the work. After two years of failure, it spoke to the man one day."I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because of this crack in my side," the pot said. The man felt sorry for it and said, "As we return to the house, I want you to look at the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the cracked pot saw the sun warming the beautiful flowers on the side of the path. But it still felt bad because half of the water had run away, and again it apologized.Then the man said to the pot, "Did you see that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about you and planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the house. Without you, the house would not look so beautiful."B2U1_NCE_VLS_videoEpisode 1:Kevin: Hey, girl, come on. Good to see you.Heather: How are you?Kevin: What happened today?...Kevin: That's fine. So what do you want to order? You like the pepperoni, yeah? ... (to the waitress) OK. So two Greek islands, one egg torte and one chilled juice and milk. Thank you.Heather: Do you realize that we've been together for two months now? Who would have thought that when we happened to sit next to each other in Asian history class it would lead to this!Kevin: Yeah, and this is a real change for me.Heather: Oh? You didn't date anyone steadily in high school?Kevin: No, I didn't. I was too busy with sports. My high school was so small that any of us who liked to play and wanted to could be on almost all of the teams. I played football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring.Heather: But you're not playing football this fall.Kevin: No, I'm going to try out for baseball in the spring. That's what I like the best. So, when a very interesting and intelligent girl happened to sit next to me in Asian History, I decided it was time to date some if she was interested too. (He smiles broadly.) Heather: I'm glad you did. (She returns a smile.)Kevin: Did you date much in high school?Heather: Yes, I did. In fact, I had a steady boyfriend for almost two years.Kevin: What happened to him?Heather: During our senior year we both decided that since we were going to attend college in different parts of the country we should stop dating. I guess we realized that we were really quite different from each other. He wanted to get away from home, so he's in a large university out East. I wanted a small college near home, so here I am.Kevin: Lucky me! So were your parents happy with your steady boyfriend?Heather: They liked him OK, but I know they thought we spent too much time together. I think they were happy when we broke up. They really didn't say much though. They usually trust my judgment.Kevin: Had you dated much before that?Heather: A little, for school parties, movies etc., nothing serious. I usually spent more time with the girl friends. My parents didn't think I should date until I was sixteen.Kevin: Yes, I think some kids do start dating too young these days. My sister, she is fourteen and thinks she has a boyfriend. My parents tell her she's really too young to date, but they think it's OK if she goes out in a group where he's included.Heather: I guess you were around guys most of the time with all of your sports activities, but you seem comfortable being with me. Kevin: Well, I did date occasionally, but I didn't find anyone really interesting until now. (He smiles meaningfully.) Besides, I usually have to spend most of my money keeping my old car running.Heather: Would it help if we go Dutch tonight?Kevin: No, after all I invited you. Besides, I had a really good job at the gasoline station near my home last summer and was able to save up quite a bit for nights like this. So, it's my treat!Heather: OK. That's nice of you.Kevin: After we eat, are you willing to drive around the lake with me and just talk some more? Or would you rather go to a movie? Heather: It's a beautiful night so let's go for a drive. I don't think we'd like the movies that are on anyway. They're all just too silly. Kevin: Fine with me. Oh, here comes the pizza, so let's eat. (to the waitress) Thank you. Thank you.Episode 2:Xiao Mei: You are late. You've never been late before. What happened to you today?Da Ming: Oh, Xiao Mei. It's so nice to see you. I can tell you that I would not be here at all if I hadn't jumped down from thesecond-floor window.Xiao Mei: You jumped from the window? Tell me exactly what happened? Did you hurt yourself?Da Ming: No, I am fine, I am fine. Mum shut me up in the room. She wants me to meet her friend's daughter, the girl I mentioned to you before. She is coming and I'm supposed to see her. Mum probably thinks I am still in my room.Xiao Mei: Your mum wants you to make friends with her, then marry her, doesn't she?Da Ming: Yes, I'm afraid so, but I'm interested only in you. I think about you all the time. I will never agree to meet any other girl. I would rather die than leave you.Xiao Mei: I love you too, Da Ming. I can't imagine what my life will be like without you.Da Ming: But I don't have a cent. My family is poor and I'm penniless. I have nothing with me except for a poem I wrote for you. Xiao Mei: You wrote a poem for me? How sweet!Da Ming: Would you like me to read it to you?Xiao Mei: Of course. Please.Da Ming: It's called: "Love Is..."Listen:Love is the greatest feeling;Love is like a play;Love is what I feel for youEach and every day;Love is like a smile;Love is like a song;Love is a great emotionThat keeps us going strong.I love you with my heart,My body and my soul.I love the way I keep loving,Like a love I can't control.So remember when your eyes meet mine,I love you with all my heart,And I have poured my entire soul into you,Right from the very start.Do you like it, Xiao Mei?Xiao Mei: Yes, I like it very much. I don't need anything else as long as you keep writing poems for me.Da Ming: I will write you poems as long as I live.Xiao Mei: Now we have nothing but each other...Da Ming: But we have love. Isn't that enough?Xiao Mei: As long as we have love we'll manage somehow.。

The normal practice in America is to eat the salad before the main course. A wonderful American invention is the salad bar. In restaurants that have these salad bars the waiter does not bring your salad. You go to the salad bar and help yourself, usually to as much as you want. This is normally done after you have ordered your meal; you eat the salad while the main course is being cooked.Part Two Video ReviewDave: Here you go. A half-caf, halfdecaf, low-fat latte. Enjoy!

✧Activity 1:Guided Tour Around China
Group work:
Ana has invited Chris for their next trip — an exciting tour around China. They plan to fly to Beijing first, but where would you think they would travel next? And the next…?
Now would every group act as a travel agency, trying to persuade them to come to your place first?
Or, can you work together to make a plan for their trip of traveling around China?
You only have 10 minutes for the guided tour around China, so you have to give a short, but nice introduction to your best scenic spots and specialties.
Good luck!
