For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you and you say," I wish I could help you but I'm short of cash fight now." In fact, you are not short of cash, but because your friend always forgets to pay you back and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, especially when telling a "white lie" that doesn't hurt people. When a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other research shows that men are more likely to tell more serious lies. They tend to make promises and then they forget them. This is the kind of lie businessmen are particularly good at. They hope to make more money from these lies in some way.It has been found that when people lie, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. It seems as if they were saying to themselves "I wish I were somewhere else now." It has also been observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.I, Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. Why don't you lend your friend money according to the passage? ( C )2. In which way are women better liars than men? ( A )3. Why do businessmen tell lies? ( D )4.

Your self-introduction plays an important role in making a good first impression on the interviewers.

You might like to repeat the main points from your resume, or you might want to focus on the information that is not shown there. Whatever way you do it, my advice is that your information must be relevant to the job you apply for, or the quality they are looking for in you. At the same time, speak in a clear voice and in a friendly tone. Don’t forget your body language. A smile and eye contact will help, too.Practical Listening:Welcome to the listening course.

Goodbye!Task 3Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overcome long distances to stay in touch in meaningful ways?—and that means more than “Hi!” “How are you” “Everybody OK?” “Good. See ya!”Cell phones, text messages, email, and computer-generated phones are all part ofa battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.One-on-one communication through such means helps keep relationships alive, but the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks, especially of mixed generations is hard to achieve by mail and phone. Group communication by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family members living all over the map can arrange a conference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not recommended.The internet, however, provides options we never had before. Cyber communications make it a lot easier to saty in touch. And just in time, too. Families or friends can register as an e-group at “E-Groups” or other online linking services. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, you’re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhave the topic or keep the linkers updated on children’s growth and other progress can be great fun, too!Task 4In daily life people are getting more and more informal. So don’t get surprised at English native-speakers not saying “How do you do?” and shaking hands with you when you first meet. A causal “Hi” or “How are you doing?” or “Hello” often takes the place, but it means the same thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, atthe end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery “goodbye” or say something informal to the whole group such as “so long everybody” than circulating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewell.Key DPractical listeningMr. Zhang was a professor working at a university in Guangzhou. He spent four months at University of Sydney on a joint research project. He lived with a local family during his stay in Sydney, and made a lot of friends there. Before he returned home, his colleagues and friends in Sydney held a farewell party for him. And Mr. Zhou made a speech at the party:“I’d like to take this opportunity to say a few words. The four months I’ve spent here have been one of the most unforgettable experiences I have ever had in my life. Everybody I’ve met in Sydney has been so kind that I’ve really felt quite at home all the time.” Everyone here is so considerate in every way and so friendly in giving me every help I need in my work and life, that I really don’t know how I can thank you enough. I hope my host and my friends here will soon pay a return visit to Guangzhou. Now let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your hospitality and say goodbye to you all. Thank you!”Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Upside-downPhilip was the manager of a small electronics shop, where parts of electronic products were also available upon request. Once he ordered parts No. 699 from a factory. With a glance at the little box when he received it, he thought that someone had sent him parts No.669 instead. He was so angry at the factory’s incompetence that he immediately sent the box back without opening it, along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind. A few days later, Philip received the same box back, with a letter that contained just four words: “TURN THE BOX OVER”. It was not until he opened the box that he realized he was the one who had made a mistake.KeyPhilip was careless. The parts he received were right, but he held the box upside-down and mistook 699 to 669.Task 2It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange 这并不容易，你们也会诧异When I try to explain how I feel 我努力说出我的感受That I still need your love after all that I’ve done 因为即使今天，我仍然需要你们的爱You won’t believe me 你们不会相信All you will see is a girl you once knew 今天你们看到的，不过是曾经认识的小女孩Although she’s dressed up the nines 虽然穿着大人的衣服At sixes and sevens with you 举止思想依然幼稚I have to let it happen, I had to change 我别无选择，我只能抗争Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel 无法忍受草根生活Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun 呆望窗外，不见天日So I chose freedom 所以我选择了自由Running around, trying everything new 四处游历，不断尝新But nothing impressed me at all 但我并未遇到惊喜I never expected it to 我本来也没有奢望Don’t cry for me Argentina 阿根廷，别为我哭泣The truth is I never left you 我对你不离不弃All through my wild days, my mad existence 无论潦倒，无论疯狂I kept my promise, don’t keep your distance 我已信守诺言，请不要舍我而去And as for fortune, and as for fame 至于荣华，至于名利I never invited them in 我从未苛求Though it seemed to the world 虽然世人眼中They were all I desired 这是我唯一的目标They are illusions 它们不过是浮光幻影We Wish You A Merry Christmas and a happy new year;We all want some figgy pudding;We all want some figgy pudding;We all want some figgy pudding, so bring some right here.We won’t go until we get some;We won’t go until we get some;We won’t go until we get some, so bring some right here.We wish you a merry Christmas;We wish you a merry Christmas;We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.Core ListeningTask 1Dialogue 1M: Do you know it’s Ally’s birthday tomorrow?W: Hey, you’re right. Hmm, it’s too late to send a card. Well, let’s do something for her.M: How about a surprise party?W: That’s a great idea. Let’s get started.Question: What are they going to do?Key CDialogue 2W: It’s said that you’re moving to a new apartment soon.M: Yes. I was selected as director of the new branch of our firm in another city, so we will move there pretty soon. And you know, Kate has been longing for a bigger apartment for a long time.W: Yeah, she must be very happy now. Congratulations on your promotion.Question: What do we know about the man?Key BDialogue 3W: Hi! Jack, I just came back yesterday. Anything new while I was away?M: Congratulations, Susan. It’s said you’ll be promoted to manager and become my immediate boss.Question: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers at the moment?Key DDialogue 4M: Our football team has just won the league final match!W: Wow, we have become the league champion for the fourth time!M: Cheers!Question: How many times before has the school football team won the leaguechampionship?Key BTask 2A recent survey from America Online’s Tegic Communications shows that a “surprising number of people” in America and Europe are sending Christmas and New Year greetings by text messaging rather than through conventional paper cards via the mail. The survey is based on data from the U.S. and five countries in Europe. When mobile users were asked whether they have or would send a “Merry Christmas” text message, the following percentages in an array of countries said yes, including:The U.S., 39 percentThe U.K., 56 percentFrance, 66 percentGermany, 79 percentSpain, 88 percentItaly, 91 percentIn addition, the figures about sending a “Happy New Year” text message were roughly equivalent. Other similar surveys show the increasing popularity of the text messaging as well. A report from the wireless provider Alltel indicates that text messaging increased by 154 percent during the last year.The wireless company said that in the month of June this year, 7.2 billion text messages were sent, a huge increase from the 2.8 billion sent a year earlier.Task 3Have you ever heard others saying “cross your fingers” or “I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you”? The phrase “cross one’s fingers” may leave some people scratching their heads. This phrase is a wish for good luck. It has something to do with the old belief in the strong power of the Christian cross. For those living in the old times, they thought witches and ghosts existed in the real world and they blamed illness and bad luck on evil forces. The cross, they believed, could provide them protection and ward off the evil influence. Normally, making the sign of the cross involves four steps --- touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with your right hand. However, one can make a cross shortcut by curling the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.Although superstitions about the witches and the evils slowly die, the phrase “cross one’s fingers” lives on. It is used for such a long time that it has become an idiom not only used by Christians but also those who do not believe in God.Key1. good luck2. protect them/ provide them protection3. To curl the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.4. Yes.(It is used by Christians and non-Christians as well.)Task 4Failure, often taken as a negative part of life, can be a way towards success if you think it in another way. Successful persons are those who take failures wisely. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, had made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. But he din’t allow himself to be down every time his experiment failed. Instead, he encouraged himself by thinking that he had just found another way that didn’t work, and had moved one step closer to making the right one. When you have a difficult time, don’t lose heart. Think about your failure. What caused it? What can you learn from it? What can you change so that things will improve next time? Probably you will find that failure can really teach you a lot.Key 1. A 2. CPractical ListeningIt is reported that some 14 billion greeting text messages were sent during the week-long Spring Festival. The figure meant excellent income for professional message writers who write for the websites that provide downloading services for cute message seekers. According to an employee of China Mobile (one of China’s top two telecommunications operators), some productive text message writers earned more than 10,000 yuan in the week, equivalent to their average monthly income.Subscribers want cute, ingenious messages to extend greetings and bring joy andfun to their friends, so message writers must have a good command of the language, said a text message writer surnamed Chen. He also said that message writers must have basic training in art and music in order to produce multi-media messages.Key1.

The flight is delayed due to a sudden rainstorm.W: How long will we have to wait?M: I’m terribly sorry, but I really don’t know for sure now. I’ll keep you informed as soon as possible.Key1. A passenger and a clerk at the airport.2. His flight is delayed and he gets no notice.3. A sudden rainstorm.4. No, she can’t. She will keep the man informed as soon as possible.Task 3For many of us apologizing can be a difficult thing to do. However, our level of discomfort is usually relative to the offence.Most of us have no problem saying “I’m sorry” when we accidentally bump into someone on the street. In fact that type of situation is so common to us that the ensuing apology has become a reflex --- an automatic response with natural timing. But what will happen when we have to think about apologizing?When we start to think about the apology, we also think the behavior or actions that led up to it. As a result, our thoughts, emotions and pride become part of the mix and we often feel embarrassed and a sense of shame and discomfort with the situation which then translates itself into not knowing how to apologise.The good news is that if we messed things up all the time, we would know exactly what to say and how to apologise --- just like we do when we bump into a stranger. The fact that we are not sure how to say sorry means that most of the time our behavior is pretty much on the right track.Key 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. FTask 4According to Maria Neuman, an American writer, an apology can be incredibly powerful, both for the one who makes it and the one who receives it. An honest apology can mend relationships, dissolve anger, or heal a broken heart. Apologizing can even have health benefits, such as lowering stress levels, as indicated by a studyconducted by the University of Michigan. Meanwhile, avoiding an apology makes relationships more strained --- and it can reveal something negative about you. Being incapable of apologizing can be a real character flaw, according to Beverly Engel, a psychotherapist and author of The Power of Apology (John Wiley & Sons, 2001). It is necessary to know when you’re in the wrong, how to say it in the right way, and stop apologizing when you are not to blame, or when the apology is harshly rebuked. The three keys to a successful apology are regretting your actions, taking responsibility for your fault and being willing to remedy the situation.Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Have you noticed that many Japanese people mention words of apology easily? In my case, when I don’t understand some English sentences, I often say unintentionally, “Sorry, I’m poor at hearing English. I don’t understand. ” I do actually feel bad that they must be patient with my poor English. But I know that I say “Sorry” not only as a real apology, but also it is the Japanese way.In daily life we apologise without thinking deeply. For one reason, I think we are not willing to express apology to others; this tendency is one part of our Japanese national character. And we haven’t had the background of lawsuit-active society like America. Before I came to America from Japan, I heard that we must not apologize even if we have a car accident.Task 2Dialogue 1M: Thank you for the wonderful party and delicious food.W: Oh, I’m glad you like it.M: I really had a good time. Thanks a lot, see you.W: Thank you for coming.Question: Where does this dialogue most probably take place?Key DDialogue 2W: I really have to go now.M: So soon? Why don’t you stay a little longer?W: I wish I could, but the last bus is 9 o’clock.M: Oh, it’s a pity you have to leave.W: Thank you very much for the wonderful meal.M: I’m glad you like it.Question: Why does the woman leave in a hurry?Key CB Listening PracticePre-ListeningWhen it comes from the heart (from deep inside the nicest feelings and the most special thoughts), “Thank you” means a lot.It means thank you for taking the time to show that you care.It means you really made my day, and sometimes it means that you really make every day so much better.It means you make me feel so nice, and I wish I could do the same for you just by letting you know how much you mean to me.Key 1.F 2.T 3.TCorePracticeTask1Dialogue 1M: I really must be going now.W: What a pity! I really wish you could stay.M: That’s very nice of you, but I really can’t. Otherwise I will be late for the evening class.W: Well, it’s too bad that you have to go.M: Thanks very much. Bye.W: Bye.Question: Why can’t the man stay a little longer?Key DDialogue 2Tom: I think it’s about time to leave. It’s 10 o’clock.Jerry: Can you stay here a little longer?Tom: I’d love to, but I have to go back home and get up at 6 a.m. to catch the flight to Miami.Jerry: Oh! I remember you have business there. I hope we can get together next time.Tom: Thank you for you kindness.Jerry: You are welcome. I hope you can come back soon.Question: What time will Tom get up tomorrow?Key CDialogue 3M: Good morning. Can I help you?W: May I have an appointment with Mr. Smith at the Garden Hotel on Oct.19th?M: I’m afraid not. He will be having a meeting then. Maybe the day after will be possible.W: OK. Thanks a lot.Question: When will the appointment likely be?Key CDialogue 4M: Oh, Lily! Could you help me with my math tonight? The final exam is approaching.W: I’m afraid I couldn’t. You know, I’m busy with my essay these days.。

We can use telephone to make or break social engagements, to do our shopping and ordering, and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones can save our feet and endless amounts of time. But giving and receiving phone calls requires quick responses, and it is very important to get exact information from calls. To avoid misunderstandings, we should pay close attention to things like telephone numbers, times, dates, addresses, etc.*to make or break social engagements: 预订或取消社会活动*to do our shopping and ordering：购物或下订单*save our feet and endless amounts of time：省去很多脚力和时间*quick responses：快速应对A.

Girl: The _______ will soon be there.Part II Giving and receiving phone callsMost of the time, when you dial a telephone number, your call goes through with no problem. Sometimes, however, you are not able to get through and the reason is given by a recorded message.*dial a telephone number: 拨打一个电话号码*a recorded message: 电话录音A. You are going to hear some recordings that the telephone company uses to tell you why your call did not go through. Listen carefully and write down all the telephone numbers you hear and the reasons why the calls did not go through.Sometimes even when a telephone call goes through, the caller is still unable to speak to the person being called. Instead, the call might be answered by a machine. An answering machine answers calls with a tape recording, and many answering machines also allow the caller to record a message. It’s more efficient to leave your name and telephone number than to waste your time calling again and again.*a tape recording: 主人预录在电话答录机上的话*to record a message: 客人在电话答录机上留言B. . You are going to hear several calls that are answered by machines. Listen to the recorded messages. Write down the reasons why each call is being answered by a machine instead of a person and the actions you decide to take. Write “W” for “wait on the line”, “L” for “leave a message”, and “C” for “call back later”.People usually receive telephone calls unexpectedly. Sometimes they have to make a note of the information contained in the call — particularly when the call is for someone else. Message taking is one of the most useful skills in dealing with telephone calls. A great deal of practice is needed in this respect.*message taking: 信息记录C1. You are going to hear some recorded phone calls. While listening for the first time, add more key words if you can in the left-hand column.

And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, you' re posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos toenhance the topic or keep the linkers updated on children's growth and other progress can be great fun, tool In daily life people are gettingmore and more informal. So don' tget surprised at English native speakers not saying "how do you do?"and shaking hands with youwhen you first meet.A casual "hi"or "how are you doing?"or "hello"often takes the place, but it means the same thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, at the end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery "goodbye"or say sth informal to the whole group such as"so long everybody"than circulating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewelL.Practical listening A7Keys: professor, joint, family, colleagues, words, unforgettable, home, considerate, return Cfun listening Task1, Philip was careless.

The phrase cross one's fingers may leave some people scratching their heads. This phrase is a wish for good luck. It has sth. To do with the old belief in the strong power of the Christian cross. For those living in the old times, they thought witches and ghosts existed in the real world and they blamed illness and bad luck on evil influence. Normally, malking the sign of the cross involves four steps-touch the forehead, heart, left shoulder, then right shoulder with your right hand. However, one can make a cross shorteut by curling the middle finger over the index finger of one hand.Although superstition about the witches and the evils slowty die, the phrase cross one's fingers lives on. It is used for such a long time that it has become an idiom not only used by Christians but also those who do not believe in God.Task4key:1.A2.C Script: Failure, often taken as a negative part of life, can be a way towards success if you think it in another way. Successful persons are those who take failures wisely. Edison, the inyentor of the light bulb, had made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. But he didn't allow himself to be down every time his experiment failed. Instead, he encouraged himself by thinking that he had just found another way that didn't work, andhad moved one step closer to making the right one. When you have a difficulttime, don't lose heart. Think about your failure. What caused it? What can you learn from it? What can you change so that things will improve next time?Probably you will find that failure can really teach you a lot.Practical listening, key:1, Spring Festival 2, income 3, week 4, language 5, art, music C: taskl, key:1, sun, wheel, cake, candyUnit4A，taskl key：1，R2，R3，C4，R5，R Script1，Jane can't arrive here on time because of the heayy traffic.2，carl didn't feel very well，so he didn't go to the concert.3，our flight is delayed due to a problem with the wings of the plane.4.jane asked me to stay，for she knew I was free the next day.5，the rain suddenly poured down when I was walking，which made me wet through.Task2，key:C，A：D1，：A:all the guests have left.It's just the two of us now.shall we have a dance？B:shall we go for a walk instead？I'm afraid the music is too loud.Q:why doesn't the woman want to dance？D2：A:you didn't drive to your office this morning.Is something wrong with your car？B:no，it's just that I felt drowsy this morning as I took some medicine last night，so I think I'd better not drive today.Q:why didn't the man drive to work？B:pre-listening1，Forgiveness is better than revenge.宽恕胜过报复。

Unit 10Listening skills: Identifying main eventsIf you are afraid of flying, there are specialists who can teach you how to deal with your fear and finally get rid of it.They will find out if a nearby airport has special training programs for people who are afraid to fly. Many airports do. How would such a program work?First, a specialist will take your group to the airport to watch the planes take off and land. A representative from one of the airlines will explain how an airplane flies. Then your group will sit in an airplane that stays on the ground. At a later time, you will go up in a plane for a short flight and then land. Gradually the time you spend in the air will increase. When you are prepared for it, the group will take a trip to another city.Listening in > Task 1Tony:Hey, Mary. Some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend. You interested?Mary:Gee, I don't know... where are you planning to go?Tony:Up into the mountains. We want to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts.Mary:The mountains... you mean climbing them?Tony:Sure, many places have interesting mountains, but the ones here are the most beautiful I have seen—and only a few hours' drive from here.Mary:If I were to go, I wouldn't appreciate the view. I'd have my eyes shut tight all the time. I'm scared stiff of heights.Tony:You'll be missing out on a lot of wonderful views.Mary:Oh, Tony, I really prefer to stay at the foot of the mountain.Tony:That's OK, Mary. Come anyway. You can skip the climbing—just stay in the camp and cook and clean up for us.Mary:That doesn't sound like much fun. Maybe I should try to overcome my fear of heights.Listening in > Task 2Steven went to a psychiatrist. "Doctor," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You've got to help me! I'm going crazy!""Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the psychiatrist. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears.""How much do you charge?""One hundred dollars a visit.""I'll think about it," said Steven.Six months later the doctor met Steven on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist."For one hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars.""Is that so? How?""He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"Listening in > Task 3Hi, my name's Matthew. Today, I want to talk about my love of water. I had a fear of water when I was young. That fear kept me away from water. That was because once I was pushed into the swimming pool by a classmate when I was eight and first arrived in Australia from Vietnam. That experience was horrible. I was down at the deep end, struggling, and I thought I was going to drown. The next thing that happened was my English teacher, fully clothed, jumped in and rescued me. Until that point, I'd never really wanted to learn or speak English. Then I changed. I found it to be an amazing experience. Now my fear of water is also gone. Can you believe that? I love water and I'm interested in English as well. I'm a bit more, let's say, confident when I speak English too. I'm no longer worried about my English being broken. I don't care if people laugh at me either. I just find it fun to speak English. And I don't feel ashamed of myself when other people correct the mistakes in my English. Actually, I like them to do that.Speaking out > Model 1Speaking out > Model 2Speaking out > Model 3Let's talk > Task 1I'm Helen. Well, it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents. One evening I had to prepare for a school examination. I was working in the basement at my table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house besides me. What could I do? I was terribly frightened because I knew that it must be a burglar. We had the windows open to air the room, so he must have come through one.I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard, so I decided to take it and go upstairs. While walking up the stairs, I shouted, "George, take the dog and go outside!" I wanted the burglar to think there was another person with me. The burglar must have heard me because he rushed out of the window the way he came in.Well, I was relieved, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I just wasn't able to dial the number.Let's talk > Task 2Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 1Dave:Sue, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been hiding?Sue:I have some excellent news, Dave. I won first prize in a computer software competition.Dave:That's wonderful news. What's the prize?Sue:I've won a trip to Sydney.Dave:Wow! That's great—but how will you get there?Sue:Fly, of course. It's much too far to swim.Dave:I hate flying. With just the thought of not having my feet safe on the ground, three things happen: my stomach turns, my face goes pale and I break intoa cold sweat.Sue:But if you want to travel, you have to fly.Dave:That's true. But if I were to fly, I'd have to get some medicines first. Sue:That must cause you a lot of trouble.Dave:Well, I have no other choice.Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 2While fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist overturned his boat by accident. He could swim, but he was afraid of alligators. So he just held tight on to the overturned boat. After a while he saw a coast guard officer walking close to the shore, and he got excited. He shouted at the officer, "Are there any alligators around here?""No," the man shouted back, "they haven't been around for years!"Feeling greatly relieved, the tourist started swimming lazily toward the shore.About halfway there he asked the coast guard, just out of curiosity, "How did you get rid of the alligators?""We didn't do anything," the officer answered."Wow, I'm really lucky." said the tourist.The officer then added, "The sharks got them."Further listening and speaking > Further listening > Task 3At a recent software engineering management course in theUnited States, the participants were given an awkwardquestion to answer: "If you boarded an airliner anddiscovered that your team of programmers was responsiblefor the flight control software, would you get off? If yes,please put up your hands." Then a forest of hands went up.One programmer called Paul Smith, however, did not put uphis hand. When asked what he would do, he replied that hewould have no fear and would be quite happy to stay on board."With my team's software," he said, "the plane would probably not even be able to taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off."Situation: John and May are at the movies watching a horror film.场景: 约翰和梅在电影院看恐怖片。

The well-known Swiss watch industry is a good example of this. Small amounts of raw materials are used but a great deal of skill and precision is needed to produce a little item with so many minuteStatements:1.
