The next lesson is that women never follow a logical route when
shopping. Your wife has disappeared before you know it. After ten minutes of searching, when you finally find her in a far corner, she enquires: “Where have you been all this time, dear?” Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not really need, at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer, I am often taken in by their clever techniques, as I take many goods off the shelves. But I am often discouraged by my wife. “Put it back, dear”. “You’ve tried that before and didn’t take to it”. “No, it’s too expensive”.

The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?”The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix them, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I get a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?”The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic: “Try doing it with the engine running!”T 1.

Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.The world is so bright with color everywhere that it’s hard to imagine that other creatures(动物) don’t see it as we do. But how can we find out whether animals can see color when they cannot tell us?Scientists have made many experiments to get the answer to this. The bee has been the subject(研究对象) of hundreds of these tests, because we have been curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color. In one experiment,a bit of syrup(糖浆) was put in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a redcard. After a while, the bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had no syrup in front of it. This proved they can tell colors apart.Two strange things were found out about the bee’s ability to see in color.The first is that a bee cannot see red as a color. For a bee, it’s only dark grey or black. The second is that bees can see ultraviolet(紫外线) as a color, while, for human beings, it is just darkness.9.

What was the result of the experiment?The bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had not syrup in front of it.5. What can we learn from the experiment?Bees don’t see colors as we do.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below。

On the Meaning of Sports
I have never been a sporty guy. When I was a kid, whenever we played soccer in the neighborhood, the most prestigious position was the offense. Everyone wanted to be the attacker, but only the kids claiming to be the best could play it. I was always stuck with the position of defense, or sometimes even worse, playing the goal-keeper.

Exotic Customs for the New Year
In the US, people on the East Coast can greet the New Year by joining the crowds in Times Square in the heart of New Year city, to watch the lowering of a lighted crystal ball. Every New Year’s Eve, the prominent intersection is the meeting point of more than half a million excited celebrants. It’s at the center of everything and is known for its once-a-year role as the site of a thousand-pound ball up over the square.
It starts it downward move at 11:59 p.m. and people count along as the seconds tick away. When it reaches the bottom, a sign is lighted and people hug and kiss, and wish each other “Happy New Year”. The tradition began in 1907 and grew into a symbol of welcoming in the New Year.
The British people also have a traditional gathering in a square, Trafalgar, in central London. There’s no ball there, but thousands of people gather to hear Big Ben (the clock) announce the arrival of the New Year. The clock, which was built in 1856 and weighs 13 tons, towers over London. It’s famous for its reliability—it’s only broken down once in the past 150 years in 1975.
In addition to the big gatherings, there are New Year customs that are intended to bring good luck for the coming year. In Spain, for example, when the clock strikes mid-night on New Year’s Eve, people eat a grape with every stroke of the clock, 12 in all, to represent each month of the year. Each grape is meant to bring good luck.
The Japanese hang a rope made of straw across the front of their house to keep out evil spirits, thereby bringing happiness and good luck.
The Swiss believe that good luck comes from letting a drop of cream fall on the floor on New Year’s Day. In the past, Romanians had a tradition of listening to see whether farm animals talked on New Year’s Day. If they didn’t hear any animals talking, it was good. If any animals talked, it was bad luck.。
