However,what we get from school is just a small part of what we cation includes both formal learning at school and informal learning in society.So education is much broader than schooling.Education can take place anywhere,whether in the street or at a party.Likewise, educators can be anyone,ranging from an elderly woman in the neighbourhood to a young reporter on TV.The general patterns of teaching at school always remain relatively the same. Students arrive at school at the set time and take the assigned courses.The learning materials and the tests used at school are limited.We know what we can get from school education,but we can never give a full picture of what we can expect from education.F or instance,while travelling if you have a chat with a local shopkeeper, you may discover more about local culture.Education starts from the moment a person is born.It lasts for a life time and becomes part of his/her life.Key(F)1.We get most of our education at school.(T)cation can occur in a local shop when travelling.(T)3.Students at school usually use similar textbooks.(F)4.Only at school can you get new information and skills.(T)cation is always with us throughout our whole lives.Look at the diagram made by Daisy Kabagarama about the components of culture in her book,Breaking the Ice.Listen to the speaker's descriptions.Write down the key words in the blanks.The first letter of each word is already given.Components of Culture The term culture has been defined in many ways.Howard defines it as the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behaviour and thoughts.I define culture as the way of life of a group of people.In that way,culture is in essence the moulder of human behaviour of a certain group.Culture has several major components.The first important one is material possessions,which refer to objects like books or clothes.The non-material component can be illustrated by the following parts:values,norms,beliefs,emotions,attitudes,aspirations,laws,and symbols.The arrows in the figure point in both directions,suggesting that culture shapes these components.In turn,these aspects impact culture,which means culture is dynamic,always undergoing great changes.For example ,people who share the same level of material possessions may have different values or beliefs.People who have similar beliefs may change the ways to express emotions.From birth to death,people are faced with cultural messages and change in these components.Key2)Material possessionslaws attitudes emotionsListen to a speaker talking about her recent travels in West Africa and write down a short answer to each of the following questions.The Greatest Humanitarian CauseIn my recent travels to West Africa,I came to see how much in need so many people are in this part of the world.Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than those who die in the continuing bloody conflicts.We live in a world filed with conditions that cry out for others to help.What can you do in a world that needs such help?Serving and volunteering, whether in your community or in a developing country overseas,is a wonderful way to fill real human needs.Being involved in serving others and true humanitarian causes can offer you experience and contact with others that will help you through the rest of your life.The biggest benefit is that you have a direct impact on helping other human beings.We should remember that serving the needs of the despondent of this world is a very worthy cause.Doing good,one act at a time,one person at a time,is an important part of being a light in a world of darkness and preparing for a greater cause in the future.Key1.What are the West Africans suffering from?Infectious disease,poverty and continuing bloody conflicts.2.What can we do to fill real human needs?Serving and volunteering in our community or in a developing country overseas.3.What benefits can we enjoy from true humanitarian causes?Involvement in such causes offers us experience and contact with others,which will be beneficial throughout our life.4.Why is it a very worthy cause to serve the needs of the despondent of this world?Doing good for the despondent is like bringing light in a world of darkness and helps to prepare for greater causes in the future.Unit6U ni t6.m p3Listen to a speaker talking about the damage done by ice plete the following chart with the information you hear.Ice-Storm Numbers Tell Chilling TaleIn January1998,three successive storms dropped more than4inches of freezing rain in areas of New England and southern Canada.About100,00people had to take refuge in shelters,while the Red Cross raised more than$10million to help the victims.The ice brought down more than1,000power transmission towers and30,000 wooden utility poles.Nearly1.7million customers lost their electricity,in some areas for weeks.More than one-third of all farmland in the region was affected.Nearly 5.3million sugar-maple trees were in the path of the storm,and it may take 30to 40years for maple syrup production to return to normal.The hardest hit were dairy farmers,as nearly one-quarter of Canada's Cows were subjected to the storm.The ones that survived may never reach their previous level of production.Furthermore,2.5million gallons of milk,valued at more than $5million,had to be dumped because there was no electricity.KeyDamages Caused by Ice StormsUnit 7U ni t 7.m p 3Listen to a speaker talking about the facets of a person's physical appearance and his/her life.Then decide whether the following statements are true (T)or false (F).This is Charlotte.She was born just a few hours ago.Like most of us at birth,there's really nothing to her:a bit of fat,a little of sugar,a bit of protein;actually she's 75per cent water.She's really a collection of chemicals.And yet,she's the most complicated thing on Earth;and during her lifetime,she'll achieve the most amazing things.She'll eat for nearly three and a half years,consuming 7,300eggs and 160kilograms of chocolate.She'll crawl 150kilometers before she's two.From then on,she'll learn a new word every two hours for the next ten years.By the time she's ten,her heart will have beaten 368million times.She'll spend a litter over 12years watching TV and two and half years on the telephone.During her life,she'll fall in love twice.If she gets married,there's a 60%chance she'll stay married to the same person for the rest of her life.And her chance of becoming a celebrity is less than 0.01%.Key[F]1.Charlotte was a bit too fat when she was born.[T]2.Charlotte will crawl 150kilometers before she is two years old.[T]3.She'll learn a new word every two hours from age two to twelve.[F]4.According to the speaker,this little girl has the potential to accomplish great things in her life.[F]5.What the speaker says is an accurate forecast of an English woman's life AreasDamagesPeople ·About 100,000people had to live in shelter.·More than $10million was raised to help the victimsElectricity ·More than 1,000power transmission towers and 30,000utility poles fell.·Nearly 1.7million customers lost electricity.Crops ·More than 1/3of all farmland in the region was

Come here, let me feel your head…you don’t seem to have a fever; maybe I should get the thermometer…Chris: It’s mostly in my stomach.Mother: Well, what exactly is wrong? Are you nauseous; do you have pains; do you have heartburn?Chris: no, not exactly. My stomach just feels funny.Mother: Was it something you ate? You didn’t throw up, did you? Chris: No.Mother: What did you and your friends eat at the mall last night? Chris: The usual junk. You know, burgers and fries.Mother: I hope you weren’t drinking with your friends last night.

Do you know what the fare is?Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in?Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that?Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down?Tom: What is there to write down, Denise? The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley?Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another.

From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, we might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time?Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train rig ht away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.Tom: Thank you very much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady.Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring. Stranger: Well, no, uh…Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome.

Unit6Listen1-1Early one morning,my husband turned on the radio.Suddenly he exclaimed,"That has to be Rod.No one else talks like that!"We listened attentively and heard the announcer say,"You've just been listening to an interview with Dr.Rod Smith,who has been telling you about a breakthrough in AIDS research that he and his colleagues have made."We both had Rod as a student and agreed that he was absolutely the slowest student we had ever had.He spoke slowly,moved slowly,and wrote slowly.We suspected that he thought slowly.When he took an examination,he could never finish it.The unanswered questions kept him from having high marks.During his senior year,Rod announced that he wanted to go to graduate school,but no graduate school would accept him.He kept trying and a year or so later the biology department of a large university allowed him to enroll in a few classes on a trial basis. They discovered that he was talented in basic research.He was then allowed to enter the master's degree program,and later the Ph.D.program.He cheerfully persevered.In six years he could proudly add the title of"Doctor"to his name.His professional career began and we lost track of him,until we heard his slow,steady voice that morning.There is no great moral to our story,except that many times persistence does pay. We'd like to hope there will be more institutions that will look beyond test scores and consider the other personal strengths that prospective students may have.We thus urge all young students to remember the old saying,"If at first you don't succeed,try,and try again."一天早上，我丈夫打开收音机。
