Without creativity, we will not get the flash of inspiration and find the fourth word that the three unrelated words can share, and we will never be able to come up with so many creative ways that an everyday object like a chair, a coffee mug and a toothbrush can be used.The importance of creativity in our personal lives can’t be underestimated. Creativity is part of who we are and how we express ourselves in everyday life. Creativity is not something we are born with, nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence. It is a matter of using the resources we have to produce original ideas. Artists use creativity to express their ideas and visions through painting, wood carving, sculptures, graffiti, and photography, which provide us with visual feasts. Musicians, singers and songwriters use creativity to make music that touches us. Fashion designers use creativity to create clothes which make us look amazing. Scientists use creativity to invent things that facilitate our lives and change the world.Creativity is everywhere, in the food we eat, in the clothes we wear, in the places we visit, etc.With a creative eye, we find creative things, and with a creative mind, we create things.Listening and speakingNews reportScriptsA group of 30 prominent British and American scientists write an open letter to London’s The Guardian newspaper and say the current process for approving scientific studies is counterproductive and needs to be changed.In the letter, the scientists point out that almost all of the 500 major discoveries of the 20th century were started before 1970, and that many of those discoveries challenged the accepted science of the time and would probably not be funded today.They say that since then, researchers have had to make their academic peers believe the work would have enough benefits to justify the investment of time and money, which limits opportunities for open-ended research.The scientists note that before the 1970s, the funds available were small, but researchers were free to use the money however they saw fit. Nowadays, their proposals must include convincing evidence that the results would be beneficial for national policies.The 30 scientists are calling for a new effort to support independent-thinking researchers like the ones who made major discoveries in electronics, nuclear power, biotechnology, and medicine.Questions:1.Why did the scientists write the letter?2.What do we learn about the major discoveries in the 20th century?3.What kind of research is most likely to be funded today according to the scientists?4.Which of the following is not mentioned as an area where the scientists are calling forinvestment?Reference answersListening and understanding1. C2. A3. A4. BThinking and speakingThe importance of supporting research and development (R&D)The investment in R&D plays a significant role in the overall health and long-term sustainability of the economy of a nation. We think that in the next three to five years more investment should be made in basic research, core technologies, and interdisciplinary research.First, research is indispensable for innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedlystressed the importance of basic research as the source of innovation. Without basic research, there will be no innovation. And we think that more emphasis should be put on the training of basic research skills of the students in institutions of higher learning.Second, to solve the increasingly complex problems, such as climate change, environmental problems, and health problems, we think that more investment should be made in R&D, and the efforts made by researchers across various disciplines need to be united.Third, supporting D&R is good for a nation’s economy. R&D helps an industry to develop, design, and enhance its products, services, technologies, or processes. Continued advances in R&D are crucial to ensuring and increasing economic growth.Research areas to be supportedResearch areas that should be supported include but are not limited to:•space exploration•deep-sea exploration•biotechnology and medicine•(large-scale) integrated circuit•quantum technology•advanced manufacturing technologyConversationScriptsHost: Art and Business is an organization that develops creative partnerships between business and the arts. Peter Jones is going to talk about the company’s ideas. Peter,maybe you could begin by telling our listeners why Art and Business was created? Peter Jones:Well, in the 21st century, productivity is no longer just a matter of machines. The success of a company depends on the creativity of its people. The way to increaseproductivity is to stimulate creativity.Host: And what better way to stimulate creativity than through reading books？Peter Jones: Exactly. Every reader knows that a good book can stimulate the imagination and the intellect, get you thinking along lines you might not have thought of before, andopen up new worlds.Host: So, how can reading help somebody to become a more creative person?Peter Jones: Being creative needs active imaginations. When people interpret fictional scenarios, they are using their imagination. They combine imaginative skills with critical andanalytical skills.Host: Are we talking about the right and left sides of the brain?Peter Jones: Yes. Our logical left side of the brain interprets the language of a book. The creative right side looks at the forms of expression. The left side analyzes the plot while theright side is more interested in the relationships between characters –theemotional aspects.Host: How does this transfer to the world of business?Peter Jones: Creative ideas make businesses more competitive. Shared reading experiences improve creativity, communication, and morale at work.Questions:1. What is Art and Business?2. What does the success of a company depend on?3. What is the best way to stimulate creativity according to the man?4. What kind of books would the man most likely recommend?Reference answersListening and understanding11. D2. B3. A4. C21. F2. F3. T4. F5. TThinking and speakingArt and businessWe’d like to share two examples of integrating art and business.•Example 1Established in 2000, Artrade is a forerunner in e-business dealing in art works. Chinaware, painting and calligraphy, oil painting, coins, arts and crafts, rare collections, and all sorts of art works you can think of are available on the platform. Running 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, its annual sales volume reaches over 10 million yuan. While creating its own brand, Artrade has also witnessed the changes in the purchasing habits of the Chinese people.•Example 2We think Swarovski is a good example of integrating art and business. With the making of the best lead glass crystals in the world as their passion, and with a wide range of colors, forms, and sizes, Swarovski has been welcomed since 1895. It has infus ed people’s lives with glamour.Activities inspiring creativityActivities that inspire creativity include but are not limited to:•writing poetry and prose•playing and listening to music•doing photography•acting•participating in art projects•playing games•traveling•brainstorming•meditatingPassage 1ScriptsCreativity is our ability to look at a problem and come up with a good solution. It has nothing to do with the subject matter or the job. There are creative inventors, but there are also very creative cleaners and teachers. While all of us are creative, we differ in the way that we are and to which extent.Michael Kirton came up with the Adaptation-Innovation Theory. He believes that when we solve problems, we are either more adaptive or more innovative. People who are more adaptive-creative try to do things better. People who are more innovative-creative try to do things differently. For example, to solve the specific problem of smelly cat litter, more adaptive types look for a solution inside the box. They might try to let the cat create less smelly litter, then increase the size of the sand particles, and finally add some refreshing tropical scent. More innovative types think outside the litter box. They come up with cat diapers, cat schools for good manners, or a robocat.Since these two types of people are so different, can they work together in a team? Actually, research indicates that involving different types of people in problem-solving could add a new perspective and make people more careful of drawing fast conclusions or falling into groupthink. The result is a more intelligent problem-solving process.Questions:1. Which of the following is true of creativity, according to the speaker?2. What does Michael Kirton believe?3. Why does the speaker mention cat litter?4. What will happen when adaptive and innovative people work together?Reference answersListening and understanding11. B2. D3. D4. D21) better 2) differently 3) inside 4) increase 5) outside 6) cat schoolsThinking and speakingCharacteristics of adaptors and innovatorsI would see myself as an adaptor because I tend to accept a problem as defined and preferestablished and structured situations. I like things that are predictable, and often feel uncomfortable and even nervous when unexpected things happen. For example, I prefer optimizing my way of doing the school tasks to coming up with an entirely different method.At a time when change is the only predictable thing, I need to improve my way of thinking, my way of doing things, and adapt myself to the fast-changing world.•I think I am an innovator. I often find myself in conflict with the established system, and I hate to accept the generally accepted perception. I like taking risks and feel that a life without risks is not worth living. The innovative side of me is evidenced in my study of math.I often try to come up with different ways of solving a mathematical problem, and everytime I succeed, I have a great sense of achievement.Adaptors and Innovators in teamworkThe advantages and disadvantages of adaptors:Advantages:•ensuring stability and continuity•essential to the functioning of an institution all the time•able to maintain high accuracy in long spells of detailed work•seen as sound, safe and dependable•providing a safe base for the innovator’s risky operations•…Disadvantages:•blocking new initiatives•producing a sufficiency of ideas based solely on existing agreed definitions of the problem and possible solutions•focusing on improving things rather than changing things or doing things differently •…The advantages and disadvantages of innovators:Advantages:•pursuing changes to reconstruct a problem, separating it from accepted thought, paradigms, and customary viewpoints•focusing on doing things differently which will lead to creative and innovative ideas •able to discover problems and avenues for solution•encouraging corporate initiatives, such as new products, new accounting procedures •…Disadvantages:•treating accepted means with little regard in the pursuit of goals•showing little respect to past customs while challenging the rules•not helpful in maintaining certitude in face of opposition•…Passage 2ScriptsPart IEvery year on April 21, the UN celebrates World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awarenessabout the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development.The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the resolution to celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 27, 2017. The UN chose April 21 as World Creativity and Innovation Day recognizing that “citizens and organizations in more than 50 countries around the world had already observed this day, which was first commemorated on April 21, 2002.” The first World Creativity and Innovation Day was observed in 2018.Part IINow the day has grown into a week. The website of World Creativity and Innovation Week says their mission is “to encourage people to use new ideas, make new decisions, and take the steps toward making the world better through creative thinking.”The UN says that innovation should be done keeping in mind every sector of the society. It lays emphasis on creativity and culture as they not only produce economic value, but also have a significant non-monetary value that contributes to inclusive social development, to dialog and understanding between peoples.It urges its member countries to make cultural and creative industries part of their economic growth strategies. The UN says, “These industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world eco nomy, generating $2.25 billion in revenue and 29.5 million jobs worldwide.”Reference answersListening and understanding11. B2. D3. C21) use new ideas 2) making the world better 3) social development4) understanding 5) economic growthThinking and speakingThe contribution of creative industriesCreative industries include a wide variety of industries, such as advertising, architecture, art, design, film and video, interactive leisure software, music, performing arts, television and radio. Creative industries are growing in economic importance for industrialized and post-industrialized nations. The production of lifestyles, cultural experiences, fantasies and images are coming to replace objects and things as the locus of the consumer society.As we can see from the first graph, creative industries accounted for an ever-increasing percentage of the GVA of the DCMS Sectors in UK economy between the years 2011 and 2017, nearly six percent in 2017. Also, the creative industries are a major source of dynamic job creation, providing over six percent of employment opportunities in 2017, as is shown in the second graph.Creative industries in China are also experiencing rapid growth due to a combination of state-owned and private-sector investment. Statistics show a steady increase in the contribution of creative industries to China’s GDP between the years 2011 and 2019, accounting for more than 4% in 2019, totaling nearly 4.14 trillion yuan. I believe that with the development of digital economy, an even faster growth of creative industries can be expected.Viewing and speakingScriptsHey, guys, I hope you’re all doing well and welcome to this week’s video. How good is your thinking game? Stay tuned as we discuss tips that you can use to be an outstanding thinker. Think outside the box is one of the most worn-out business and personal development clichés.While the urge to think outside the box is held in high esteem, it’s evident that there’s an apparent disconnect between what people say they’ll do and what they actually do. How many times have you seen people think outside the box? More importantly, how many times do you think outside the box? In simple terms, thinking outside the box can be described as thinking beyond the norm or being a nonconformist. Put simply, thinking outside the box does not mean that you need to defy gravity. It simply means that you need to be innovative with your ideas and solutions.In today’s video, we’re gonna discuss tips that you can use to think outside the box both in business and beyond.One, learn how to question the status quo regularly. Since childhood, we are bombarded with systems of doing things. We are told that we should go to school, work hard, get good grades, go to college and get that dream job. However, over the years, it’s be come evident that this system of life doesn’t work for everyone. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go to school and perform well. Education is important. However, sometimes you need to question the norm and learn to ask why. If someone presents you with in formation that you don’t understand, you should challenge yourself to read more and question more.Two, expand your knowledge. We often wound up following the same path due to limited knowledge. To expose your brain to different ideas, you need new knowledge. There are several ways to do this. You can choose to take a class in a different industry. You can also try learning a new culture to help you relate to different people around the world. Lastly, you can read books and novels outside your usual genre to stimulate your mind.Three, mind mapping. Mind mapping is a technique that allows you to map out an idea. Essentially, you’ll have the central concept in the middle of the map, and then expand the idea outwards into other boxes. For instance, I need to create a new blog about digital marketing. Since it was the main idea, I put it in the main box. I then drew other boxes connected to the main idea with different aspects of digital marketing, such as social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, affiliate marketing, SEO, among other things. I then broke downeach element into smaller branches until they turned into topics I could work with. With my simple mind map, I discovered an easy way to expand an idea.Four, draw an image. Visualize the problem you are facing and draw images to help you solve it. With an image, you can map out all the aspects of your issues and write down solutions to each element. For instance, maybe you have several bills to pay that all have different deadlines. You can draw a box with all the bills you have to pay and accompanying dates. Then have another box with all the income you have coming in on specific dates. As you look at both boxes, you’ll have an easier time remembering everything you need to pay and match it to a date when you have enough income to afford the bill.Five, think like a competitor. Thinking like a competitor in business is extremely beneficial. For this exercise, I would encourage you to have a brainstorming session. Ask yourself or (your) team to think like a competitor by pointing out some of the weaknesses you see in the business and possible solutions for the problems. You can also get ideas for new trends in the industry your business should take advantage of to stay ahead. This tech nique also works in one’s personal life.What are your thoughts on thinking outside the box? Share your comments, and let’s learn from each other.Questions:1.

Nowadays we are too often inclined to believe the accepted norms and follow them. We tend to stay in the comfort zone and do what the others do. This is harmful, and even dangerous. We should keep reminding ourselves that the world is advancing and things are changing, what was appropriate and correct in the past may not be appropriate and correct today. We need to develop critical thinking and question the status quo, especially when we find something we don’t understand or feel confused about. And to update ourselves on the progress in every field, we need to expand our knowledge through more reading, more listening, and more communication with people from different sectors and from different cultural backgrounds.•I like mind mapping and I often practice it. I once read an article and learned that mind mapping was created by Tony Buzan, a leading expert on the brain and learning, and co-founder of the World Memory Championships. A mind map is ideal for brainstorming, planning, information gathering, data presentation, and many other uses. It helps us break down complex topics into smaller, more understandable chunks, and it is great for sharing information and understanding complex topics. What makes a mind map so effective is that it allows us to use both sides of our brain.•I find Tip 4, drawing an image, very useful and I practice it quite often, especially when there are many deadlines I have to meet. I usually make a list of the things that I have to do along with the deadlines. I will then try to prioritize things. In this way, I manage to finish all the things in time.•In my view, the last tip, thinking like a competitor, is not only useful in the business world, but also in sports and other fields. I remember a time in high school when we were taking part in the school table tennis competition. We were lucky enough to enter the final. Our rival team was very strong, being the champion for the previous three years. We knew that there was one very strong player in the rival team who could beat any of us. We spent a long time thinking about how they would arrange their players and how to arrange the players of ours accordingly, and we succeeded in getting our weakest player playing with their strongest one. Their strongest one was wasted in a sense. We won the champion! Our excitement was beyond words and until now I can recall the disappointment on the faces of our rival team.Step 2•being open to dissenting opinions•changing the direction of thinking•meeting people with diverse experiences, views and backgrounds•developing positive emotions to broaden our attention and explore our environment •taking a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life•asking questions like “What would I do differently if I were starting from scratch?”•…Pronunciation1.

Your answer could reveal how creative you are.Michigan State University scientist Jeremy Gray has developed a simple word test to measure creativity. It’s described in the journal Behavior Research Methods.His team showed 193 participants a series of nouns and asked them to respond creatively to each with a verb. “Chair” –for example –could elicit “sit”... or more creatively, “stand.” The participants were also asked to write stories and draw pictures. Those who gave creative answers on the noun-verb test were also judged the most creative in the more traditional areas.Gray and his team are now giving the noun-verb test to participants while they are in an MRI machine to try to identify the parts of the brain that light up when creativity is called for. Their findings could eventually help students, entrepreneurs, scientists, and anyone who depends on innovative thinking.Questions:1. Why did Jeremy Gray develop the simple word test?2.

She is surprised.Step 2•When you don’t want to talk about some issues and want to hide your true feelings, your facial expression will be inconsistent with your emotions. For instance, you have failed an important examination, and you are not happy about it but you don’t want your parents to find out about your true feelings. You will try to show your forced light-heartedness in front of them, while in fact you are deeply sorry for not passing the examination.•When you are lying, your facial expression will be inconsistent with how you actually feel. Of course, people lie for different reasons. Some people lie to protect others while some others lie for their own benefits. For example, some people may have a serious illness and they don’t want their families to worry about it. So they will tell them that they are fine. At that time, their facial expressions will surely be inconsistent with how they feel. For another example, a small number of students spend a lot of school time playing computer games instead of studying. Sometimes they hand in assignments which are not finished by themselves. One of my roommates once used an English movie review he found from the Internet and handed it in as his own work. When our teacher asked him if it was his own work, he said “Yes.” But I could see his face twisted a little bit.Step 3Besides facial expressions, there are a lot of other kinds of body language that can reveal one’s true feelings. For example, eye contact. When someone is lying to you, he is unlikely to look into your eyes. Also, hand gesture. When someone is desperate to tell others what they are worried about, they will use a lot of hand gestures to show anxiety and help others to understand better. What’s more, when some people get angry, their hands will be clenched into fists. Even if they can still speak in a calm voice, one can see from their hands that they are experiencing strong emotions. What’s more, s ometimes your voice will reveal your feelings. For example, when you are talking to someone you love, you voice is usually soft and tender. But if you are speaking to someone you are angry with, your voice will turn cool and sharp.Listening and speakingNews reportScriptsThe New York Times just announced that it had been using machine learning and surveys to predict the different emotions felt by readers of various stories.The newspaper has been collecting this information for a year, and has created a list of 30 commonly experienced emotions – 18 of which are available for sale to advertisers, as reported this week.The New York Times is not the only one. Other media companies like ESPN and USA TODAY have also rolled out ad products that are said to be able to match ads to people in certain moods.USA TODAY NETWORK in 2016 started categorizing its content by topic and tone, and scoring it on the basis of the emotions it’s believed to most evoke. Last year, it started to sell advertising based on that knowledge with a product called Lens Targeting. An ad campaign for a non-profit that was targeted at people reading inspirational stories resulted in a 25 percent higher donation rate than ads that weren’t targeted, said Kelly Andresen, SVP and head of GET Creative, USA TODAY NETWORK’s conte nt studio.Questions:1. How does The New York Times predict readers’ emotions?2. How many emotions does The New York Times list?3. What have ESPN and USA TODAY said about their ad products?4. What do we learn about the ad campaign for a non-profit with specific target readers?Reference answersListening and understanding1. A2. C3. D4. BThinking and speakingPros and cons of targeted adsI think it is advisable for newspapers to target their ads toward a certain group of readers. New products are coming out every day, and it is impossible for people to know everything in a timely manner. If readers find something they need from the newspaper advertisements, they can purchase them for their own sake. It is a win-win situation. Sometimes there are certain scenes in advertisements that will make readers recall certain memorable experiences in the past, such as a candy bar, a nice bowl of soup, or a trip to the seaside. If readers’ hearts are somehow touched, it is very likely for them to purchase what is advertised.The downside of the targeted ads is that people may sometimes regret what they have bought. They may act on impulse to purchase certain goods because the ads touch certain part deepdown in their hearts. Once the readers realize that the newspaper ads are taking advantage of them, they may have a negative attitude toward the newspaper or the advertisements. Perhaps they would even stop reading the newspaper altogether.Using news reports to evoke certain emotions, yes or no?Sample 1I think it is advisable for newspapers to publish stories that are likely to evoke readers’ feelings and spread the virtue of honesty, kindness, beauty, etc. For instance, if there is a news report about a natural disaster that happened in one area, readers’ sympathy will be aroused and they will be concerned about the safety of the people in that area. They would like to know whether people there have enough food, shelter, or medical care. Many of the readers would even donate food or money for the relief effort. This, in turn, will be reported in the newspaper and other people will read about their stories and see the kindness and passion of human beings.Sample 2I don’t think news reports should evoke certain emotions among readers. As is known to all, news reports should follow the principle of reporting the truth, and the truth only. They should be the true, objective and unbiased reports of what have happened or what are happening. Readers can form their own judgments after reading the reports. Their opinions should not be influenced by the reports. If news reports try to evoke certain emotions of readers’, they are in fact biased and meant to influence the readers’ judgment.ConversationScriptsM: What have you read recently?W:I have just finished reading a book about anxiety. Did you know that some unpleasant emotions like anxiety are actually very helpful for humans to evolve?M: Really? How could that be？W: For example, if our ancestors encountered a lion, their fear sharpened their senses, quickened their thinking, and instantly prepared them to deal with the danger. Those who were able to do this better clearly had an advantage in survival.M: But anxiety is different from fear. Fear is a response to an immediate threat; anxiety is where there’s a possibility of a danger.W: That’s true. But the power of anxiety is equally important. Worrying about potential danger forces people to take fewer risks and seek safety. This could potentially help the basic evolutionary tasks.M: I see. But in today’s world, the possibilities are changing rapidly. If we cannot handle our anxiety properly, it may cause problems not only for individuals, but also for the whole society.W: Exactly! Like some people will panic buy due to the anxiety that there will be a forthcoming shortage or price rise, or something bad may happen.M: So how could we better handle our anxiety?W:According to the book I read, the most useful strategy is to shift your focus from thelong-term problem to a daily routine that will solve or prevent that problem. For example, instead of worrying about not passing the exam, focus on how much time you spend studying today.Questions:1. According to the woman, why are some unpleasant emotions important for humans?2. What is the difference between fear and anxiety, according to the man?3. How is the world today different from the world our ancestors lived in, according to the man?4. What does the woman say is the best way to handle anxiety?Reference answersListening and understanding11. C2. D3. B4. D21. T2. F3. T4. F5. TThinking and speakingProblems caused by anxietyEating too much is another problem caused by anxiety. In fact, quite a lot of people have this problem. When they are under a lot of pressure, they eat without control. They will gain weight rapidly, leading to a series of diseases like diabetes, heart attack and high blood pressure.Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep, is also a problem caused by anxiety. People have trouble falling asleep when they are too worried about something. Then they can’t concentrate on their work or study during the daytime. Some of them may lose weight or even hair.Now many people are excessively worried about their appearance. They are constantly looking up to some celebrities and comparing themselves with their idols. Since they think that they are not as pretty or not as slim as their idols, they become anxious. They may resort to some extreme methods such as plastic surgery or unhealthy diet. This also leads to an unhealthy social trend that will make people so concerned with their appearance that they lose themselves. They become less and less confident in themselves and get disoriented. They will stay in a vicious cycle in pursuit of perfection of their appearance.Dealing with your anxietyStep 1Scores between 18 and 24 suggest a mild to moderate stage of anxiety.Scores between 25 and 30 are indicative of a moderate to severe stage of anxiety.Scores above 30 indicate a very severe stage of anxiety.Step 2I sometimes suffer from anxieties, especially before the deadline of an assignment or before examinations. I do not feel like eating and I am too tired to sleep. Luckily I have some good friends who would work together with me for assignments or exams. This lessens my anxiety greatly. We try to break down the overall goal into smaller steps and we try to finish one step at a time. We will feel great for each step we finish and before we know it, we have achieved the whole target. By doing this I can always finish those assignments ahead of time and get good grades for the exams.Passage 1ScriptsPsychology once assumed that most human emotions fall within the universal six categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. But a new study suggests that there are at least 27 different emotions and they are closely connected with each other.Psychologists at UC Berkeley showed 2,185 video clips to 800 men and women. These clips included births and babies, proposals and weddings, death and suffering, natural disasters, spiders and snakes, awkward handshakes, etc.Using new statistical models to analyze the responses, psychologists created a multidimensional, interactive map to show how feelings like envy, joy, pride, and sadness relate to each other. They found that 27 different dimensions, not six, were necessary to account for the way hundreds of people reported feeling in response to each video clip.Moreover, in contrast to the common belief that each emotional state is an island, the study found that there is a smooth transition between emotions like horror and sadness, and amusement and adoration. Emotional experiences are so much richer and more subtle than previously thought.Psychologists hope their findings will help other scientists and engineers more precisely get the emotional states behind moods, brain activity, and expressive signals. All these could then lead to improved psychiatric treatments, a better understanding of the brain basis of emotion, and technology more responsive to emotional needs.Questions:1.How many kinds of emotions were once thought to exist?2.Which of the following is a new finding about emotions?3.How many subjects were shown the video clips?4.What have psychologists learned about emotions?Reference answersListening and understanding11.

In this modern society, no one can work alone by themselves, which makes teamwork critical. As a result, workmates need to understand each other better.•Self-management is vital for a college student. Back in high school, my teachers always arranged our schedule. What I needed to do was just sticking to the schedule made by the teachers. Now at college, I need to manage life and study all by myself. Since there’s no one to arrange my schedule anymore, good self-management will help me live a rich and colorful life without neglecting my studies.Passage 2ScriptsLife is an emotional experience. The emotions you experience every day ultimately determine the quality of your life. However, one key problem with most people is that they’re not able to understand what they feel. We usually understand messages behind our pleasant emotions better, but we’re not well aware of the messages behind our unpleasant emotions. Actually even negative emotions contain positive messages or instructions that can help us grow into better human beings.Let’s look at “hurt” for example. None of us escapes feeling hurt, and we may communicate this feeling through various more noticeable emotions like sadness or anger. What is the message behind this? Usually these painful feelings arise because you think you are badly treated or ignored by people you care about. They’re insensitive to your needs, and don’t meet yourexpectations.The solution is better communication. Usually people don’t mean to hurt you; they’re just ignorant about the impact of their words and deeds. So tell them your feelings in an open and honest way. Also, communicate your values to others, especially your dear ones. Let them know what’s important to you and what your expectations of others are, so that they can understand your needs better.Once we are familiar with the hidden messages in emotions, our emotions can become our ally, even the unpleasant ones.Reference answersListening and understanding11, 3, 521)treated 2) insensitive 3) expectations4) honest 5) Communicate 6) importantThinking and speakingDealing with hurtStep 1Last Saturday, my roommate Tom took me to a gathering. However, when we got there, I found everyone was interested in computer games and all of them were talking enthusiastically about games. I don’t play games so when they asked me to join them, I said “no.” Then they simply ignored me and never talked to me again. I was hurt and rushed out of the door right away.Step 2Yes, I would. If I were given another chance, I would take this as an opportunity to learn about games. I would take the initiative to speak to his friends and listen carefully to what they were talking about. I would try to understand their love for games first and then I might try to introduce more topics in our communication and raise their awareness that I wanted to talk about something else, too.Don’t make our friends an emotional garbage canThe best way to avoid making our friends an emotional garbage can is to learn to be responsible for our own feelings and emotions. When we are experiencing negative feelings and emotions, take a moment to think about the causes of these feelings and emotions.Find the people who make you experience an undesirable feeling or emotion and talk with them. When you are talking with them, avoid strong language and try to stay calm. You might end up with a happy day. If it is schoolwork that causes you to feel stressed, try to break it down into several tasks and tackle one task at a time. When you really need a friend’s help, don’t talk about your problem all the time. Listen to your friend’s constructiveadvice and use it to overcome your problem. Next time you have the same problem, think about how you overcame it last time and perhaps you can cope with it easily. I think one way to avoid making our friends an emotional garbage can is being attentive to their emotions as well. After we talk about our own problems, ask them whether they have any negative feelings. Listen to them carefully and offer suggestions when necessary.I have a good idea. After we talk about unpleasant things, we can do some pleasant thingstogether. For example, we can watch a good movie, go to an amusement park, or visit a zoo.We can also have a nice meal, shop for some clothes or have a haircut. These things can always cheer us up and drive the negative feelings away.Viewing and speakingScriptsParticipant 1: What is going on?

Next we asked them to write out alist of things in their life that made them feel happy or supported. Then we hadthem assign a color to themselves and each of the things on their list. It felt likethe right time to rope them into doing something creative, so we traced a life-sizeoutline of their body, and told them to fill it in with the different colorsdepending on where (it) resonated for them. We told them to put a circle in thecenter that represented th emselves. Now they hadn’t realized it, but we putthem in a reflective state of mind and in order to complete the exercise, they hadto really focus on how each person or thing contributed to their life.Pamela: So, what was that like for you?Participant 3: Oh I loved it!

During my first year at college, myformer boyfriend broke up with me. I was crying my heart out. Then a close friend of mine took me to a dancing party. Everyone was dancing happily there. At first I did not have much enthusiasm for dancing, but as I tried, I gradually forgot what was bothering me. It wasgreat.•I had worked very hard before the college entrance examination because I wanted to go to Tsinghua or Peking University. However, when I got the grades, I found I could only go to a local college. I was very sad. I did not want to eat or sleep. To help me recover, my parents advised me to do something for distraction. Then I started to draw and bit by bit, my sadness seemed to fade. It dawned on me that not being able to go to a top university was not so devastating.Step 2•There are a lot of ways in which people can find happiness. One way is to travel. Travel enables us to see new places of interest, meet new people, and try new food. When we are busy trying out new things, we are likely to forget our own unhappiness. This is especially true if we go to the seaside or high mountains, where we feel tiny and all our unhappiness seems to be absorbed by the vastness of nature.•Reading is one way that can make people find happiness. Books are the collection of human wisdom and they can answer any questions we might have. There is always a book for us.Whenever I am unhappy, I will pick up a book by my favorite writer and start to read. Books can successfully distract one from their negative feelings and take them into a whole new world.Pronunciation1. Art, / the expression or application / of human creative skill and imagination.2.

I don’t want to eat or sleep.B: Is there anything that particularly bothers you?A: The finals are coming. When I was in high school, I was always the best student. But now, there are so many excellent students, and I’m afraid that I will become a nobody.B: I get it. So it is important for you to be the best student and high scores are everything.A: Of course. How can I prove myself otherwise?B: It is certainly a good thing that you want to be the best student. But how do you define “a good student”? Just high scores?A: Well, a good student should have self-discipline, an inquisitive and truth-seeking mind, and a never-stop-learning attitude.B: So, in other words, scores alone cannot determine anything, as long as you have the qualities you just mentioned. Perhaps you can tell me what can help you ease the stress first?

What’s more, take some physical exercises and talk to your friends or parents for a few minutes every day; and add more fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. All these will help cheer you up, and you will become a good student sooner or later.A: Thank you very much.Further listeningNews reportScriptsA note written by Albert Einstein which contains advice on happy living has sold for $1.56 million in an auction.The German-born physicist had won the Nobel and was in Japan on a lecture tour. When a messenger came to his hotel room in Tokyo, he didn’t have a tip available. So he gave the messenger two notes, saying if he was lucky, they could become more valuable in the future. One of the notes was written on the official paper of the hotel. This is what Einstein wrote on the paper: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.”The note was expected to sell for between $5,000 and $8,000. Instead, a bidding war lasted about 25 minutes, and ended in a sale of $1.56 million.A second note written at the same time simply reads: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” It sold for $240,000.The winning bids for both notes were far higher than the pre-auction estimated prices, the auctioneers said.Questions:1. Why did Albert Einstein write two notes for the messenger?2. Where did Albert Einstein write one of the notes?3. What do we learn about the notes?Reference answers1. D2. B3. DConversationScriptsW: It seems to me people like listening to sad music when they are depressed.M: According to a study published a few years ago, people diagnosed with depression are notably more inclined than healthy controls to choose to listen to sad music.W: Why does that happen?M: Some people say that depressed people deliberately act in ways that are likely to maintain their low moods. However, a new study has presented evidence suggesting depressed people are not seeking to maintain their negative feelings, but rather that they find sad musiccalming and even uplifting.W: Sounds interesting.M: Right. The research involved 38 female undergrads diagnosed with depression and 38 non-depressed female undergrad controls. The participants listened to 30-second pieces of sad, happy, and neutral music, and stated which they would prefer to listen to again in the future. The depressed participants were more likely to choose the sad music clips.W: So the conclusion is the same as the previous research.M: Yeah, and the research team also asked their participants why they made the choices they did, and the majority of the participants with depression who favored sad music said that they did so because it was relaxing and calming.。

Unit 1 Leisure activitiesPart 1 listening oneEver wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your new tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice.A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!"A trick with an egg and some salt:Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.Questions:1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick2.What happens to the coin?3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate his thoughts to theaudience in the second trick?4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright?5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright?Keys: 1.

Welcome to our weekly sports program aimed at all those underactive youngsters with time on their hands! Listen to whatour two guests have to say about their hobbies and how their hobbies havemade a difference to their lives. Adrienne first, then, Jonathan. Adrienne: I collect very interesting jewelry. I tend to travel a lot as most of my family do, so whenever I have a holiday, I like to go traveling. Whenever I travelsomewhere, I like to pick up something to remind me of the place that Ivisited. And, the easiest thing to do is to pick up a small piece of jewelryinstead of getting a poster or a T-shirt that won’t last. I like the idea ofhaving something small and also, I find whenever I wear jewelry fromsomewhere, it’s a good conversation piece. Usually people ask you, “Wheredid you get this?” I then have a story to tell, and it’s a good way to meet andtalk to people. It’s just interesting. I have jewelry that I picked up when Itraveled to Thailand, when I traveled to Africa and when I traveled toEurope.Presenter: Wow! Sounds nice. You’ll have to show your collections to us. Adrienne: I’d love to.Presenter: Thank you, Adrienne. Now Jonathan.Jonathan: I prefer canoeing because you've always got the water there for support. If you're a good swimmer, have a good sense of balance and strong arms,you'll like canoeing! The main trouble is transporting your canoe to theright places—my father takes it on the roof of the car—or sometimes I put iton the roof of the club’s Land Rover. What it has taught me most is to beindependent. It's just you and the canoe against the wind, the weather andthe water. It gives you a lot of self-confidence and it can be really excitingas long as you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you feel closeto nature somehow. Last year, when I was qualified, I began to run my owncanoeing center.Presenter: So you are making your hobby work for you.Jonathan: People are usually very skilled at their hobbies. The combination of interest and skills is a very compelling reason to choose a particular career. Presenter: Then, Adrienne, do you have a similar plan?Adrienne: Yes, I love making beaded jewelry. I’ve decided to get some formal training. I want to learn how to be a jewelry designer.Questions:1. Who is the target audience in the program?2. What is Adrienne’s hobby?3. What does Adrienne usually buy when she visits a place?4. How does Jonathan benefit from canoeing?5. What should be the major concern in choosing a career according to Jonathan? Keys: 1. A 2. B 3.

I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film.Judy : Would you?Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, the right accents. Don't youthink so?Judy : Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film because you never know what they are thinking. Gerry: True, but I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time.I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take me a week to read thebook.Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends. When you read a book you have to do it on your own.Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee.Keys:1.1.spoil the story 1.2. and day1.3.

At the end of the reception, Sally and her new husband cut the wedding cake and all the guests get a piece.Pete and Rose buy a new house.

And there's a jazz dance class from 6:30 to 7:30.Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean, would they be OK for a beginner?Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is advanced. All the others are at the beginner to intermediate level. But let me give you a schedule. Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class?Receptionist: You pay a ￡1 entrance fee and then the classes are ￡2.50 each and ￡3.50 for the jazz dancing. It's there on the sheet.Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two weeks.Receptionist: Oh, right. That's no good then.Cathy: And I guess you have showers and everything?Receptionist: Yes, sure, and in the evenings you can use the sauna free, too.Cathy: Oh, great. So the next class is at 5:30?

Woman: O h, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.Woman: O h, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britain would be easier.No boats, planes or anything.Woman: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already.What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we can travel round Britainwhenever we like. There's no point in wasting our summer holiday here. Man: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when we go abroad. Ihate all that. And it's so confusing.Woman: O h, don't be silly, Steve.Man: And what's more, I can't speak any of the languages—you know that. It's all right for you. You can speak some foreign languages.Woman: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.Man: Mm, but that's no use to me.Woman: B ut just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet!Man: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much.

It seems that the Romans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"From the mid-19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not improved though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible? Questions:1. According to the passage, when may the game of football have first started?2. How many team members were often involved in the game when the English began to play the game?3. What did the speaker say about the earliest football game in England?4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches between two schools until 1850?5. What happened to football in 1863?Keys:1. D2. D3. A4. C5. CListening 4In one town, there were three longtime friends, Pat, Mike and Bob. Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put hishand on a solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?" Mike agreed, but was not too happy.The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"Questions:1.Who was NOT clever?2.What did Pat ask Mike to do?3.Who was hurt finally?4.On whom was Mike going to try this joke?5.Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?6.What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?Keys:1.1A2.

Unit 5 DreamsPart One Viewing, Understanding and SpeakingVideo ScriptTopic: Interpreting DreamsSetting: At the river bankCharacters: John (young man), Mary (young woman)[John and Mary, a newly married couple, are on their honeymoon. While they are sitting at the river bank, John is reading Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams and Mary is having a nap.]Mary: (awakes from a sweet dream) Ah…Darling, everything is so wonderful! The sun, the air, the water… I feel as if I were in a dream.John: (still reading the book with not much response) A dream? Yes, a dream.Mary: Have a look at the beautiful scenery around you, Darling. Don’t you think it’s too good to be true?John: Mm, maybe.Mary: Eh, you aren’t listening to me. What are you reading now?John: (finishes the last page of the book and closes the book) It’s Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams. Honey, have you ever wondered what…what the meaning of your dreams? You might get some satisfactory explanations for your dreams from this book, because Freud explains various kinds of dreams in it.Mary: It must be a very interesting book! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ignored me. It seems to me that I am not as attractive as Freud.John: Yes, it really is.Mary: Yes?! You mean I am not charming enough? I can hardly stand your rudeness.John: Of course not. I mean it’s really an interesting book. Freud says that everything in our dreams has something to do with our real life.Mary: Really? I often dream about gathering fruit in an orchard. What does fruit represent in my dreams?John: It predicts good fortune. You’ll be rich, Honey.Mary: But the fact is we still can’t afford to buy a house.John: I have to admit that’s absolutely true. I spent about all I had on our honeymoon.Mary: Well, there must be something wrong with your interpretation, Darling. I doubt whether dreams can predict the future.John: Before I can be more exact, you have to give me more details.Mary: What further information do you need?John: Well, Honey, could you tell me what the color of the fruit is in your dreams?Mary: Er… the fruit doesn’t seem to be ripe. In my dreams, I think it’s green.John: Mm…I’ve got it. If the color of the fruit is green, you can’t be rich immediately, because only ripe fruit is interpreted as good fortune at hand.Mary: Oh? Are you sure about that?John: Definitely. I’ve just looked it up in Freud’s book.Mary: Then we’ll just have to wait and see?John: That’s right, Honey. Do you have any other happy dreams?Mary: Yes. I had another one just now. It was so sweet that I smiled from ear to ear. Would you like to have another try, Mr. Freud?John: I t’s my pleasure, madam. What happened in this dream? I guarantee you I can give you another good explanation.Mary: When I was dozing, I dreamed that you gave me a beautiful diamond necklace as a memento of our wonderful honeymoon. What do you think that means?John: (understands her wife’s actual intention and tries to find a way out) Er…Er…I’m not sure.Er…maybe I’m… I’m not knowledgeable enough! But anyway I can turn to the book for help. Wait a minute!Mary: Take it easy, Darling! I’m sure you know how you can make it come true.John: Too bad!Mary: What’s wrong?John: (smiles cunningly at his wife) I’m afraid Freud didn’t tell me how to interpret a daydream, only dreams at night.Mary: Daydream?!John: Yes, it must be a daydream since you had it during the day.Exercise 1Directions: You’re going to watch a video in which a couple talk about dreams.

They’re quite different. In passive sleep, the body is at rest. The heart slows down. The body processes become very slow. We move very little, and the brain becomes very inactive. If a person continues to sleep, she or he enters a new stage, a more active stage. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, the amount of blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very, very still, and the brain goes from being very inactive to being active. And as the brain becomes more active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. Eye movement is a sign of another change—that of a person dreaming.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and a half hours on the average.Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams—in fact, everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kinds of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds.

Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animal life, like worms and snails, ever really sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep a human being needs depends on age, the individual and possibly race. For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are exceptional cases of old people who sleep only between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known for certain if mental activity (apart from dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a specific, pre-determined time. There are also stories about mathematicians who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.Some types of unpleasant dreams (or “nightmares”) are quite common; the dreamer is taking a test, but is not properly prepared; he is falling from a tree; or an animal or thing is chasing him.Some people say these last two occur because man’s ancestors lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.

Another story, The Murders in the Rue Morgue (莫格街凶杀案), is one of the first detective stories. His most famous poem is The Raven (乌鸦).TapescriptA Dream within a Dreamby Edgar Allan PoeTake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow --You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand --How few! yet how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep -- while I weep!O God! can I not graspThem with a tighter clasp?O God! can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream.Exercise(Online)Directions:Listen to the poem “A Dream within a Dream” twice and fill in each blank with the word you hear.Key to the exercise:1) parting 2) wrong 3) dream 4) night 5) none 6) seem 7) shore 8) sand9) fingers 10) grasp 11) save 12) wavePractice Three DaydreamsWords You Need to Know:fantasize 幻想abnormal 不正常的inherit 遗传divert 转移alert 警觉的TapescriptAlmost all people daydream during a normal day. We tend to daydream the most during those quiet times when we are alone in our cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. Daydreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic human characteristic. Most people have reported that they enjoy their daydreams. Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women, but the subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different. Men daydream more about being heroes and good athletes while women tend to daydream about fashions and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still common in old age. Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past. Daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists believe that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play. It is a normal part of their development. It helps children develop and explore their imagination.Daydreaming has advantages and disadvantages. In some situations it can reduce a person’s fear or anxiety. It can also keep us entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, we must divert part of our attention from our environment. When it is important for us to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around us, daydreaming can cause problems.

Many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize our inner conflicts.According to some experts, men and women dream differently because of biological and social conditioning. In a study of 1000 dreams, half from each sex, experts found that men more often have action dreams. Usually these dreams are set outdoors or in unfamiliar surroundings. Women dream more of emotional struggles with loved ones, usually in indoor settings. As more women have care ers, their dreams might become more like men’s. Researchers have found that while housewives dream more about children, women in the workplace dream about bosses and colleagues. Small children who are easily scared dream of frightening animals and monsters that chase and attack them. Teenagers dream of romance and sex.Some dream researchers found in a study that people between 21 and 34 have more anxiety over issues of right and wrong in their dreams, possibly because they are making important decisions about career, marriage and life direction. People of ages 35 to 49 are much less hostile toward others in their dreams, perhaps because they’re reaching their greatest achievement, and have less need for aggression while awake. After age 65, anxiety about aging appears much more often in people’s dreams.If life stages affect our dreams, so do our attitudes. Studies show that angry people act out their anger in their dreams, and depressed people sometimes dream they are victims of rejection.Creative people often use their dreams to solve problems. According to author Naomi Epel, when some writers, artists or scientists go to sleep, they ask their subconscious for a dream that will help them solve problems.

His name was Max Hoffman.“Will our son die?” Max’s parents asked the doctor.“Maybe,” the doctor said quietly. “Stay with Max. Keep him warm. That’s all you can do.”For three days Max lay in his bed. Then he died. He was only five years old.Max’s parents buried their son in the town cemetery. That night Max’s mother had a terrible dream. She dreamed that Max was moving in his coffin. She screamed in her sleep.“Sh, sh,” her husband said. “It’s all right. You had a bad dream.”The next night Max’s mother screamed in her sleep again. She had the same terrible dream.On the third night Max’s mother had another bad dream. She dreamed that Max was crying. She got out of bed and got dressed. “Quick! Get dressed,” she told her husband. “We’re going to the cemetery. I want to see Max. I want to dig up his coffin.”At four o’clock in the morning Max’s parents and a neighbor hurried to the cemetery. They dug up Max’s coffin and opened it. There was Max. He looked dead. But he wasn’t lying on his back. He was lying on his side.Max’s father carried Max home. Then he ran to get the doctor. For an hour the doctor rubbed whiskey on Max’s lip and warmed his body. Then Max opened his eyes. Max was alive! A week later he was playing with his friends.Max Hoffman died—really died—in the United States in 1953.

I read with great interest your interpretation on dreams of teeth falling out. It is the same interpretation that many others use as well (needing to be heard etc). I myself had this dream repeatedly and was dying to know what it meant, as it was always confusing and disturbing. However, I was always unsatisfied with the “needing to be heard” thing.You might note that many people who have this dream are feeling worried, depressed or frightened as their teeth are falling out painlessly. Sometimes they even try to keep the teeth from falling out. Finally I came up with a different interpretation, which fitted much better for me. In fact, I’ve had fewer dreams of this sort now. So I thought you might be interested. For me, the dream means I am talking TOO MUCH. It means thoughtlessness, telling secrets, gossiping unwisely. And it’s my subconscious warning me. Now, if I have this dream, I know I have been unwise with my big mouth! Trying to cram the teeth back in, or stop them falling out, or trying to find a dentist, actually means trying to stop the words or gossip from coming out, and the feelings of depression are reflecting the regret of being too revealing—usually to an enemy. I am much more aware of this now and not such a big mouth! Maybe you could add this to your interpretations.BestKatie(243 words) Part ADirections: In this section, you’ll hear a letter to a newspaper column that provides interpretations of typical dreams regularly.

After I share it with you, you'll never forget it either.As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers, he said, "Ok, time for a quiz." He pulled out a large, wide-mouthed jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full"Everyone in the class said, "Yes."Then he said, "Really" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of little stones. Then he dumped some of them in and shook the jar causing the little stones to work themselves down into the spaces between the big he smiled and asked the group once more, "Is the jar full" By this time the class was onto him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. And he reached under the table and brought out a bag of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces leftbetween the rocks and the little stones. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full""No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good!" Then he grabbed a bottle of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the top. Then he looked up at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration"One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all."Listening 2Ex1: B C A B D C B B A DEx2: F T F F TScripts:Throughout the day, energy rises and falls. At its peak, you're likely to perform 30 to 40 percent faster and more accurately, than at its lowest, says Lynne Lamberg. So by synchronizing your schedule with your natural energy supply ,it will help you use it more efficiently.She also says, alertness is highest and concentration the most between 9a.m. and early afternoon—the best time to crunch numbers or write a report. You should dive into the hardest tasks first, and your extend high-energy mornings with a late lunch. Many people are still going strong until 1 or 2 ., so why break the momentum During mid-afternoon, you might attend to some routine tasks, such as paying bills or sorting through a pile of junk mail. Work that involves physical activity, such as running down the hall to photocopy a memo, or talkingto other people (that includes phone calls)—will keep your energy level from dropping way down.When full alertness returns—around 4 .—you might do a few small projects that give you a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Send off an important letter. Or plan and prioritize for the next day.The dark side of your cycle is equally important: For daylong energy we need a good night's sleep. On average, Americans get about seven-and-one-half hours, although some need more and others get by on less. We 're getting enough sleep if we wake up without the help of an alarm clock and don't feel the urge to nap during the day.Listening 3Ex1: 1) London 2) What a wonderful Life 3) Globe 4) changes developments natural resources cities nuclear warEx2: T F T T FScript:(Do you feel depressed when you read newspapers Does the news always seem bad To many people it does, but not to Alexander Dubois, a French scientist living in London.

For some people, it’s only about what is in the immediate situation, what other people are doing, and what they are feeling. And those people, when they make their decision in that form, we’re going to call “present-oriented”, because their focus is what is now.Student A: Then maybe , I’m not ”present-oriented”. It seems what I care most is always what will be in the future.Professor Zimbardo: Yes. You might be among those ”future-oriented”. There focus is always about anticipated consequences. OK, anybody here who is neither “present-oriented” nor “future-oriented”Student B: Myself. I think neither of your description about this two time perspectives fits me well.Professor Zimbardo: Then you mast belong to the third type. We call them “pat-oriented”because they focus on what was. For them, both the present and the future are irrelevant. Thire decisions are based on past memories.S tudent B: That’s true, but sometimes, I just fell my time perspectives are a mixture.Professor Zimbardo: That’s very likely the case. There are actually six time perspectives: past-positive or past-negative; present-hedonistic or present-fatalist: future-oriented or transcendental future, as a matter of fact, these six time perspectives might coexist in a person. But they are biased in different situations. Either of them may rise to be the dominating one that influences us to make decisions. But we’re tot ally unaware.Student A: But do those perspectives show bias in their influence on human life,for example, positive or negativeProfessor Zimbardo: In a sense, that’s right. Any time perspective in excess has more negatives than positives, you know what those future-oriented people sacrificefor success. They sacrifice family time . they sacrifice friend time. They sacrifice fun time. And they sacrifice sleep. So it affects their health. And they live for work, achievement and control.Student B: Yes. Tha t’s ture. We just never realized that before. But professor,do you think time perspective is something inherent or something we learnProfessor Zimbardo: People’s time perspectives result fromthe social environment and their life experiences, and they can be learned and be changed . That’s the last point I want to make today. one needs to develop the mental flexibility to shift time perspectives fluidly, depending on the demands of the situation; that’s what you’re got to learn to do. The optimal temporal mix is What you get from the past-positive gives you roots. What you get from the future is wings to soar to new destinations, new challenges. What you get from the present hedonism is energy, the energy to explore yourself, places, people, sensuality.Further ListeningListening 1Ex1: F F F F T T F TEx2: 1)friend 2) end 3) weeks 4)know 5)terrible 6)rang 7)younger 8)tired 9)game 10）make 11）show 12）thinking 13）distance 14）corner 15）telegram16）deserveScripts:Around the Cornerby Henson TowneAround the corner I have a friend,In this great city that has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,And before I know it, a year is gone.And I never see my old friend's face,For life is a swift and terrible race,He knows I like him just as well,As in the days when I rang his bell,And he rang mine.But we were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men.Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired of trying to make a name."Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on JimJust to show that I'm thinking of him."But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,And distance between us grows and grows.Around the corner! — yet miles away."Here's a telegram sir—Jim died today."And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner , a vanished friend.Listening 2Ex1: 1)clocks 2) promptness efficiency 3) impatient 4) household appliances save time 5)control miss avoid Ex2: F T F F FScript:Almost every American wears a watch, and in nearly every room in an American home, there's a clock. "Be on time." "Don't waste time." "Time is money." "Time waitsfor no one." All of these familiar sayings reflect the American obsession with promptness and efficiency. Students and employees displease their teachers and bosses when they arrive late. This desire to get the most out of every minute often affects behavior, making Americans impatient when they have to wait. The pressureto make every moment count sometimes makes it difficult for Americans to relax anddo nothing.The desire to save time and handle work efficiently also leads Americans to buy many kinds of machines. These range from household appliances to equipment for the office such ascalculators, photocopy machines and computers. One popular machineis the videocassette recorder, which gives Americans a new kind of control over time. Fans of professional football don't have to miss the Sunday afternoon game on TV because of a birthday party. They simply videotape it and watch the game in the evening. What's more, they can actual save time by fast-forwarding through all the sales ads and commercials shown during te game.

They think that by then the population will have doubled. Wewill have run out of essential materials, like oil and coal. We may even have run out of water to drink. They believe that we will be living like chickens- living in little boxes, and eating artificial food.But those who are more optimistic say that life in the future will be much better than it is today. We may be living in well-designed , systematic communities. We may be getting more sunlight, breathing fresher air, living in a better environment and leading far more pleasant lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become far more mechanized by the year 2100. It may even have become too mechanized.Mechanization has already caused quite a few problems and will cause still more. For example, many jobs will have been “automated”. People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their lifetime. Many of the jobs that young people are doing today will have become unnecessary by the time they are 40.Questions:1. What can definitely be said of life in the next century2. What does "many jobs will be 'automated'" mean according to the passage3.

They wanted to live where they could have a large house and yard, instead of a small apartment with no yard. The problem that this has brought is that as the cities have grown larger, people must travel a long way to their place of work. Often the trip takes as much as two hourseach way. Thus they have very little time to enjoy their houses and yards.Therefore, during the last decades of the 20th century, some people became interested in moving back to the business areas of the cities. Many old buildings with businesses or factories on the first few floors have upper floors that are empty- Other old buildings are completely empty. Architects have been buying these buildings and changing them into attractive apartment buildings. Most have large comfortable rooms with big windows, which let in a lot of light. The apartments in these buildings are quickly bought by people who want to move back downtown. As one new apartment owner said, "I don't have a yard anymore, but I also don't have to sit in my car for over three hours a day. And there are nearby parks that I can visitnow that I have more time."。
