Sometimes, however, you are not able to get through and the reason is given by a recorded message.*dial a telephone number: 拨打一个电话号码*a recorded message: 电话录音A. You are going to hear some recordings that the telephone company uses to tell you why your call did not go through. Listen carefully and write down all the telephone numbers you hear and the reasons why the calls did not go through.Sometimes even when a telephone call goes through, the caller is still unable to speak to the person being called. Instead, the call might be answered by a machine. An answering machine answers calls with a tape recording, and many answering machines also allow the caller to record a message. It’s more efficient to leave your name and telephone number than to waste your time calling again and again.*a tape recording: 主人预录在电话答录机上的话*to record a message: 客人在电话答录机上留言B. . You are going to hear several calls that are answered by machines. Listen to the recorded messages. Write down the reasons why each call is being answered by a machine instead of a person and the actions you decide to take. Write “W” for “wait on the line”, “L” for “leave a message”, and “C” for “call back later”.People usually receive telephone calls unexpectedly. Sometimes they have to make a note of the information contained in the call — particularly when the call is for someone else. Message taking is one of the most useful skills in dealing with telephone calls. A great deal of practice is needed in this respect.*message taking: 信息记录C1. You are going to hear some recorded phone calls. While listening for the first time, add more key words if you can in the left-hand column. After the second listening,complete the messages in the right-hand column with the help of the notes.。

"the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit"2. columnist, column3. Walt Disney, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.4. the Academy offices1 Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit", but the term never stuck.2. No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with fivespokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam container slightly larger than a shoebox.Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybepeople stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth."Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionEvery January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking. The annual presentation of the Oscars has become the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' most famous activity. The Oscar Statuette is a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listening to some sentences and write them down.

No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.❖ 3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.❖ 4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.❖ 5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.❖The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts* a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.❖Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper,Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.❖ A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.❖No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.❖Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.❖The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.❖Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.❖Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam* container slightly larger than a shoebox.❖Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.❖On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.❖For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth."❖ A. Pre-listening Question❖Every January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking. The annual presentation of the Oscars has become the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' most famous activity. The Oscar Statuette is a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes.❖ B.. Sentence Dictation❖Directions: Listening to some sentences and write them down.

The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.❖In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airships superseded balloons as a form of transport.❖Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero plane became increasingly safe and popular.❖Exercise❖Directions: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.❖ 1. This passage is about the early history of flying.❖ 2. The key words are jlving. designs. an Italian artist. fifteenth century: eighteenth century. flv. float. balloons: hot-air balloon.April 1783: airships.

Over there between the Lancia and the Volvo is a Mini. It costs ￡12,830 and is cheap to run: It does 38 miles per gallon. Or there's the Citroen, behind the Mini. It costs ￡12,070 and is even cheaper to run than the Mini: It does 45 miles per gallon. It's not very fast though. It only does 69 miles per hour.❖B: No, I think the Mini and the Citroen are too small. I've got three children. Isn't there anything bigger at that price?❖A: Well, there's the Toyota over there, to the left of the Peugeot. It's very comfortable and costs ￡13,040. It's cheap to run too, and it also has a built-in radio. Or there's the Renault at the back of the showroom, behind the Peugeot. It costs a little more, ￡13,240, but it is cheaper to run. It does 40 miles per gallon and the Toyota only does 36 miles per gallon.❖B: What about that V olkswagen over there, in front of the Toyota?❖A: That costs a little more than ￡13,500 but it's a very reliable car. It's more expensive to run than the others: It does 34 miles per gallon, but it's faster. Its top speed is 90 miles per hour. The Toyota's is 80 miles per hour and the Renault's is 82 miles per hour.❖B: How much does it cost?❖A: ￡13,630 and that includes a 5-year guarantee.❖B: And the Fiat next to the Volkswagen?❖A: Again that's more than ￡13,500, but it's cheaper than the V olkswagen. It costs ￡13,550.❖B: Hmm well, I'll have to think about it and study these pamphlets. How much is that Peugeot incidentally, behind the Lancia?❖A: Oh, that's expensive. It costs ￡15,190.❖B: Yes, that is a bit too much. Thank you very much for your help.

1Shopping and Banking OnlinePart I Getting readyB. Spot dictation. Fill in the banks with the words you hear.Tapescript:We have just two more days to “shop till you drop” till Christmas, and that typically means a lot of last minute shopping. And though buying with a mouse is still tiny compared to shopping with your feet online retailing is more popular than ever.Christmas shopping in the street is great sometimes. But when you’ve just got to get a bunch of shopping done and you want to have something to send to a third-party location, it’s much better online.In the U.S., online shopping is predicted to be 30% ahead of last December, while mails can expect less than a 6% increase in sales. In Britain, Europe’s biggest e-tailing market, online gift-buying is expected to grow by 50%, with $8 billion worth of goods sold through the net in the November to January period.C. Listen to a news report. Supply the missing information.Part ⅡA. Main problems of online shopping●Long time waiting for delivery or even no delivery (about 8%) after ordering●No clear information about delivery charges● A danger that customers’ personal information would be sold to a third party (as manyas 87% of the sites)●No policy on returning goods (about 47% of the companies)●No confirmation of the order (about 35% of the sites ) and the dispatch (as many as87% of the sites)●No money back more than four months after returning goods (in two cases)B Now listen again. Complete the summary.Summary:The survey shows in spite of the convenience and choice offered by Net shopping there are still many obstacles that prevent consumers from shopping with complete trust. One of the biggest problems is to build consumers’ trust in buying online. It takes time for the Internet to become mature as a retail channel when it gives support to trust relationships with guarantees of payment and service.Part ⅢBanking at homeA. Outline1. Some problems of the walk-in bankA. standing in long linesB. running out of checksC. limited opening hours2. Online banking servicesA. viewing accountsB. moving money between accountsC. applying for a loanD. getting current information on productsE. paying bills electronicallyF. e-mailing questions to the bank3.

Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the material. Then answer the questions.1. What is “interactive banking”?It is banking through the Internet.2. Why can “online banking” compete of customers?“Online banking”offers convenience which appeals to the kind of customer banks want to keep.3. What kind of customers do banks want to keep?Banks most want to keep people who are young, well-educated, and have good incomes.Part ⅣB. Now listen to an interview discussing English and American good customer services.Part ⅤTapescript:“Everybody loves a bargain,”this is a common American saying. A bargain is something you buy for less than its true value. It is something you might not buy if it costs more. One person’s useless ugly object can be another person’s bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a “for sale” sign on it and they have a yard sale.Just about anything can be sold a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you think are extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked ＄10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusetts. He paid $125 for what everyonethought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachustetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jaudere learnt the war club was valued at about $150000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston, Massachusetts from which it was stolen.Questions:1.Which of the following is a common American saying?2.What can be sold at a yard sale?3.Why do people go to a yard sale?4.When was the old wooden club stolen?5.What was the real value of the club?6.Why was the club at a great value?2Hotel or B&B?Part ⅠGetting ready1.English breakfast is hot food: fried egg, fired bacon, porridge, etc.2.Continental breakfast consists of coffee, tea, rolls, jam and honey—nothing cooked.3.Half-board includes dinner, bed and breakfast.4.Full-board is the room plus all meals.5.VAT stands for Value Added Tax.Part ⅡA touch of home1.
