P. Hartley's novel The Go-Between). Even in a relatively short period of time, I can see the enormous transformations that have taken place in children's lives and in the ways they arethought about and treated.每当我回顾20世纪七八十年代我的童年时光，并将它与现在孩子的童年相比较时，就会想起句名言：“往昔是异国他乡，那里有着不同的习俗”（可参见.哈特利的小说《传信人》）。
甚至在相对短暂的一段时间内，我也能够察觉到儿童的生活以及人们对待儿童的方式上所经历的巨大变化。
further back I can see vast differences between contemporary and historical childhoods. Today, children have few responsibilities, their lives are characterized by play not work, school not paid labour, family rather than public life and consumption instead of production. Yet this is all relatively recent. A hundred years ago, a 12 year old working in a factory would have been perfectly acceptable. Now, it would cause social services' intervention and the prosecution of both parents and factory owner.回顾更久远的岁月，我可以看到现在和古代童年生活的巨大差别。

Unit 1Passage oneInterviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured?What things have had a major influence on you?Speaker 1 : Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different types of people there withweird and wonderful ideas and it changed the way I see the world. I’m much moretolerant now… It made me a more rounded person.Interviewer: Great, and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character? Speaker 1: I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about this…Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asiaand you know, I found that in some of the poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos,people share whatever little they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’sprobably made me a less selfish person.Interviewer: Interesting…so you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was voted off by theaudience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being on the show and seeing howthe other contestants behaved made me realize how selfish and spiteful some peoplecan be just to get what they want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. Ifyou pretend to be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off?Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life?Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived in Thailand for afamily Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to help-you couldn’tnot. I ended up acting as an interpreter for a group of volunteer doctors. It was anincredibly difficult time but you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedythere is still a huge amount of g kindness.Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…Passage twoTony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at Manchester University. She gives advice to school students on choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show.Joan: Thanks Tony.Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing decision, isn’t it?Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself. Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future?Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s important to look into this carefully. I recommend you check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it.Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we help?James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest graduates are picked from the top univer sities around the world to join the leading IT companies. So I’d say if you’re ahigh-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a moremainstream career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical,transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look at which universities have the best levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for.James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…Unit 2Passage1One of the strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I returned by chance to a place where I’d been happy as a child. My husband and I were visiting some friends for the weekend-----they lived about 200 kilometers away. We were driving along when I suddenly saw a church in the distancethat I recognized. My favorite aunt had lived very near it on a farm that my brother and I used to visit once a year with our parents.We were city kids, brought up in the middle of London, and this was a working farm-----the real thing-----with cows in cowsheds, fields with ponds and a muddy yard full of smelly pigs-----we had the run of the whole place-----it was just paradise for us.And then-----there was the food-----home-made jam and bread and cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And my aunt Lottie-----a farmer’s wife-----and her husband, uncle George and their kids, Katie and Ben, our two cousins who my brother and I really got on with. It was heaven that week we used to spend there. They moved from the farm when I was… how old? ----- about 14. So I’d never been back or seen it again.Anyway, there we were, and I’d just seen the church-----, so we turned off and drove down this really narrow lane. And before I knew it we were in front of Aunt Lottie’s farm. The extraordinary thing was that it hadn’t changed------ not one tiny bit.It was a lovely old place with a typical country cottage garden, full of flowers. There were lots of barns and sheds-----they were next to-----next to the farm. And you know, I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I had standing there. It was-----oh, what was it? an incredibly powerful feeling of longing-----nostalgia for the past-----for times I’d been very very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been there for 20 years and I couldn’t go back, so also I had a feeling of huge sadness, that I couldn’t have those times again. And-----at the same time-----great sweetness, because those times had been so happy, so innocent-----because I was a child. So there was this extraordinary mix-----of longing, sadness and sweetness, all at the same time. It was the strangest feeling I’ve ever had.Passage2ScriptInterviewer: So what's your first memory of school, Kevin?Kevin: I was really looking forward to school, I remember that, I just couldn't wait. Yeah, Johnny, my brother, was a year older than me and he seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart shoes. And I wanted to go to school and be grown-up too. I don't remember much of the first day actually, apart from this little boy lying on the floor and screaming and screaming and me thinking what a baby he was.Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat rack with all our coats. And I was looking for my peg which had a little picture of an elephant next to it. I remember I was crying because I wanted to go home and I couldn't get my coat on. I was crying so much and then the teacher came and helped me.Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best friend at school?Kevin: Oh, yeah, well, Steve, I remember him, because he's still my best friend!Interviewer: Still your best friend!Eva: That's so great!Kevin: Yeah, we didn't know each other before we started school but we became really good friends and so did our mums. Our families ended up going on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the teachers used to get very cross with us. But we were just having fun.Interviewer: Cool! And what about you, Eva?Eva: My best friend was a girl called Robina. She had short blond hair, I remember I thought she looks like an angel. We sat next to each other and held hands and played fairies in the playground. She left in Year 3 and I cried for days.Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the day you left school? How was that?Eva: I had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking home with this amazing feeling of freedom, you know, no more rules, no more bossy teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I'd had some good times. I was in a group of girls who were so supportive of each other.Kevin: I couldn't wait to leave, I was counting the days.I just wanted to get a job, get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went out to celebrate with a couple of my mates and--had a very good time!Unit 6Passage1A US Airways jet landed in the icy Hudson River in New York this afternoon after apparently hitting a flock of geese.Miraculously,no one was killed and there were few injuries.James Moore,our correspondent at the scene,has more.An Airbus 330 took off from La Guardia Airport.New York,at 3:26pm this afternoon,bound for Charlotte Airport in North Carolina.It had 155 people aboard.Thirty to 45 seconds after take-off,a flock of geese apparently flew into the plane,causing it to lose power in both engines and one engine to catch fire.Without power the plane was unable to return to La Guardia Airport and the pilot decided to land in the Hudson River in order to avoid crashing in a populated area. Two minutes later the plane made a successful landing in the Hudson and passengers were able to climb out through the emergency exits.The plane immediately started taking in water but fortunately water taxis and boats that had seen the crash were waiting by the aircraft. Passengers and crew stood on the wings of the plane in the icy cold water and were helped into the boats.Over the next hour,as New York watched the event on television,everyone on the plane,including a baby,were taken to hospitals for treatment,mostly because of the extreme cold,Their injuries are not reported to be serious.One of the passengers,Alberto Panero,said people had bugun praying as the plane approached the river but that everyone had stayed clam.The pilot of the plane has been named as Chesley Sullenberger.Aged 57,he has 29 years experience of flying and at one time had been a US fighter pilot.Sullenberger was the last to leave the plane and walked up and down it twice to make sure it was empty before climbing out.He has already been described as a hero.The Governer of New York,David patersm,said at a news confe rence this afternoon,“I believe now we've had a miracle on the Hudson.This pilot,somehow without any engines,was somehaw able to land this plane and perhaps without any injuris to the passengers.”It is thought that the survival of all on board is because the plane did not break up when it hit water and because of the immediately arrival of the water taxis and boats.Passage 2Streets Full of HeroesA:Hi,we are asking people who their personal hero is. Someone they really admire and who’sinspired them in some way.B:Oh,right.Interesting.A:Can you tell us a bit about yourself?B:Sure.My name is Paul Smith. I worked at London zoo.A:London zoo? Really?B:Yes,I’m a zoo keeper. I look after the elephants.A:Elephants?what a great job! So who is your hero, Paul?B:I’ve got quite a few heroes. But I guess my biggest hero is Al Gore.A:The American politician. So why him?B:Well,he is the guy who made people take climate change seriously.A:You are referring to the film An Inconvenient Truth, I take it?B:That’s right. That film proved to people with statistics and graphs, that kind of thing---that climate change was happening and that it’s man-made. Before that ,most people believed it was just a few crazy scientists who thought it was happening.A:You work with animals. Do you worry about the effect of the climate on animals?B：Sure，I do. All these species are going to become extinct. It’s terrible.A：It is. Would you say Al Gore’s been an inspiration to you?B:Yes,I would. He’s taught me about importance of taking action when you see something that needs to be done. I do volunteer work for Greenpeace---quite a lot actually. That’s the way I do my bit.A:Greenpeace?Excellent.Thanks,Paul.Hi,what’s your name?C:Clare hope.A:What do you do?C:Well,I’m a mum with two young kids and I work part-time as an accountant for the Red Cross.A:We’re asking people who their personal hero is and if they’ve inspired them in any way.C:That’s an easy one. Melinda Gates, she’s my hero.A:Why is that?C:Well,she is Bill Gates’wife, one of the richest people in the world. You know ,she could so easily do nothing, just enjoy her money. And instead she co-founded the um… Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and I think that it’s called---and it is one of the biggest private charity organization in the world. It’s donated more than 280 million dollars to various good causes.A:More than 280 million dollars? Now that’s a lot of money. She is very active in it, isn't she? C:Oh yeah, she is a director. Flies all over the world.A:Do you do any work for charity?C:I make phone calls for Save the Children, asking people to donate. She is a real inspiration, Melinda gates。

Look, his boat is about to bump the one in front! Well done!Mark: Hi you guys!Kate: Fantastic, Mark.

Usain Bolt became the first man to successfully defend both the 100- and 200-meter Olympic sprint titles, and he went on to anchor Jamaica’s winning run in the four by 100 hundred meters relay in world record time. At the end of that race, Bolt gave a nod to another track star with a “Mobot” gesture, signature of Mo Farah, who became only the seventh person ever to win the 5000 and 10000 double, in front of an ecstatic home crowd.Mo Farah: I t’s not going to affect me, I’m the same to old Mo, nothing’s going to change. It just means you’ve got two good medals and…but something you’ve worked so hard for, I’m just going to enjoy it.Narrator:Also a legend in the making, Kenyan David Rudisha, who smashed the 800 meters record which had stood since 1976.Swimmer Michael Phelps broke another long-standing record. He became the world’s most successful Olympian with 22 medals, 18 of them gold, breaking the record set in 1968. His last podium before retiring was an emotional moment.Phelps:Yeah, as soon as I stepped up, ah, onto the podium, I (I)could feel the tears starts coming. And, you know, I said to Nathan, I said, “Uh-oh, here t hey come. This could be…this could be pretty brutal up here.” And they just started coming. And I tried to fight it but then I just…I just decided just to let it go.Part 2Narrator:Tears too for cyclist Chris Hoy, who became Britain’s most successful Olympian, with six golds. And then there were also moment of anguish and frustration. China’s star hurdler Liu Xiang crash out of his second consecutive Olympics, and Brazil’s footballers once again failed to lift gold.These games were also marked by women. Teenagers Ye Shiwen, Katie Ledecky and Missy Franklin set record times in the pool. Saudi Arabia, Brunei and Qatar sent female athletes foe the first time. Women’s boxing became an Olympic sport. And British poster girl Jessica Ennis gave the home nation a defining moment when she took heptathlon gold. She was at the forefront of the team GB’s biggest medals haul of modern times, coming third in the medal table. The United States regained their place at the top, with China coming second. Forsome t hough, it wasn’t about the medals. But it’s the taking part that counts.Unit 3-Listening inNews reportThere’s a new fitness trend in Australia called “crunning”. It’s a new sport that combines crawling and running that involves using your hands and feet on the ground. The idea was started by Melbourne resident Shaun McCarthy, and he hopes it will spread to other countries.McCarthy can’t prove that crunning is more beneficial than traditional running. However, he believes that it is a better way to exercise because it involves using your upper body as well as your lower body. Therefore it provides a complete body workout. He also said that crunning burns more calories than running.Experts aren’t sure if crunning is actually a safe exercise for people. Unlike animals, humans are not built to move on all four limbs. People’s wrists are not as strong as their ankles, and crunning can place a large amount of pressure on the wrists as well as their elbows and shoulders. It could result in an injury to the lower back, shoulders, elbows or wrists.What do we learn about the new sportWhat do experts think about the new sportPassage 1Speaker 1And David Seaman is in goal for the Englandteam down to our right... it's difficult to get used to the change of team colours here ... I'm looking at the white shorts and thinking they're English players, but they're not. For thismatch it's the Germans who are wearing white. I hope the English players don't have the same problem, we don't want them to pass the ball to the Germans. Now Gascoigne for England passes to McManaman for the first time ... McManaman is immediately surrounded by three German defenders ... he brings the ball to the near side of the pitch ... still McManaman for England, crosses the ball to Pearce ... Pearce takes a shot! ... saved by the German Ziegler, and picked up by Ince only 25 yards away from the German goal... good effort by Ince, aims at the goal! ... and Kopke, the German goalkeeper pushes the ball over the top of the goal.So a comer kick for England.Speaker 2 A great shot by Ince, I'm sure he knows that Pearce set that up for him, but Kopke put the shot out of danger. Speaker 1He does like to punch the ball, that Kopke in the German goal... England's first corner of this semi-final... Gascoigne will take it... Here comes the comer kick from Gascoigne ... and Shearer's there and Alan Shearer scores for England ... England have scored after only two minutes' play ... with a comer kick by Gascoigne ... aimed at the near post, and Alan Shearer heads the ball into the German goal ,.. It's an absolute dream start for the semi-final ... Shearer has got his fifth goal of the tournament... Would you believe it It's England one, Germany nil!Passage 2Matt Now it's time for Critic's Choice, with news and reviews about the latest films. Good evening, Jack, seen anything good at the cinema this weekJack Good evening Matt, yes, I've seen one of the best sports films of recent years.Matt Sports films That's not usually a type of film which appeals to you.Jack You're right, but this time it's different. I've been to see a film about mountain climbing, it's not really your typical sports film. It's more man against the mountain.Matt Tell us more.Jack I've been to see Touching the Void, which is the story of a pair of mountain climbers in the Peruvian Andes.Matt Is it a true storyJack Yes, it is. In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the 7,000-metre Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates were young, fit and confident they would succeed.Matt So what happensJack Simpson and Yates' style of climbing involved moving quickly up a mountain with very few supplies and no base camps, which is risky. You can't make any mistakes.Matt I think I can guess what happens next.Jack And sure enough after climbing well for three and a half days, disaster strikes. Simpson falls and breaks his right leg. With no food or water, the climbers know they have to get off the mountain - fast. Yates is determined to find a way to get his friend home, and he has to lower Simpson down the mountain. Simpson is in agony, but Yates has no choice except to ignore his partner's cries of pain because otherwise he'll die.Well, for a while, things go well. But suddenly Simpson, at the end of the rope, fails to respond to Yates' signal. Yates is unable to move any further and has no idea why Simpson is not responding. So Yates holds on with all of his strength, all too aware that eventually his strength would give out and both would fall.But what Yates doesn't know is that he has lowered Simpson over the edge of a crevasse. Simpson is hanging in mid-air from the vertical face of the mountain. He's unable to climb back up the rope and he's got frostbitten fingers and can't communicate with Yates above him.Matt So what happensJack Well, I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.Matt But...Jack But Yates hangs onto the rope for an hour, getting weaker. For any climber, cutting the rope that binds him to his partner is unthinkable.Matt Sounds very exciting. So what about the directionand the filmingJack The director is Kevin Macdonald, and he tells thestory by cutting from interviews to shots of the climb itself.But it's the message of the film which interests me. You see,in the end, the impression left by the film is astonishment that a human being could do what Joe did, which is to survive.Matt Thanks Jack, this week's Critic's Choice isTouching the Void, on general release in all cinemas from next Week.。

Usain Bolt became the first man tosuccessfully defend both the 100- and200-meter Olympic sprint titles, and he wenton to anchor Jamaica’s winning run in the fourby 100 hundred meters relay in world recordtime. At the end of that race, Bolt gave a nodto another track star with a “Mobot” gesture,signature of Mo Farah, who became only theseventh person ever to win the 5000 and10000 double, in front of an ecstatic homecrowd.Mo Farah: I t’s not going to affect me, I’m the same to old Mo, nothing’s going to change. It justmeans you’ve got two good medals and…butsomething you’ve worked so hard for, I’m ju stgoing to enjoy it.Narrator: Also a legend in the making, Kenyan David Rudisha, who smashed the 800 meters recordwhich had stood since 1976.Swimmer Michael Phelps broke anotherlong-standing record.

This could be…this could bepretty brutal up here.” And they just startedcoming. And I tried to fight it but then I just (I)just decided just to let it go.Part 2Narrator: Tears too for cyclist Chris Hoy, who became Bri tain’s most successful Olympian, with six. word可编辑.golds. And then there were also moment ofanguish and frustration. China’s star hurdlerLiu Xiang crash out of his second consecutiveOlympics, and Brazil’s footballers once againfailed to lift gold.These games were also marked by women.Teenagers Ye Shiwen, Katie Ledecky and MissyFranklin set record times in the pool. SaudiArabia, Brunei and Qatar sent female athletesfoe the first time. Women’s boxing became anOlympic sport. And British poster girl JessicaEnnis gave the home nation a definingmoment when she took heptathlon gold. Shewas at the forefront of the team GB’s biggestmedals haul of modern times, coming third inthe medal table. The United States regainedtheir place at the top, with China comingsecond. For some though, it wasn’t about themedals. But it’s the taking part that counts.Unit 3-Listening inNews reportThere’s a new fitness trend in Australia called “crunning”. It’s a new sport that combines crawling and running that involves using your hands and feet on the ground. The idea was started by Melbourne resident Shaun McCarthy, and he hopes it will spread to other countries.McCarthy can’t prove that crunning is more beneficial than traditional running. However, he believes that it is a better way to exercise because it involves using your upper body as well as your lower body. Therefore it provides a complete body workout. He also said that crunning burns more calories than running.Experts aren’t sure if crunning is actually a s afe exercise for people. Unlike animals, humans are not built to move on all four limbs. People’s wrists are not as strong as their ankles, and crunning can place a large amount of pressure on the wrists as well as their elbows and shoulders. It could result in an injury to the lower back, shoulders, elbows or wrists.1 What do we learn about the new sport?2 What do experts think about the new sport?Passage 1Speaker 1And David Seaman is in goal for the Englandteam down to our right... it's difficult to get used to the changeof team colours here ... I'm looking at the white shorts andthinking they're English players, but they're not. For this. word可编辑.match it's the Germans who are wearing white. I hope theEnglish players don't have the same problem, we don't wantthem to pass the ball to the Germans. Now Gascoigne forEngland passes to McManaman for the first time ... McManaman is immediately surrounded by three Germandefenders ... he brings the ball to the near side of the pitch ...still McManaman for England, crosses the ball to Pearce ...Pearce takes a shot! ... saved by the German Ziegler, and picked up by Ince only 25 yards away from the German goal... good effort by Ince, aims at the goal! ... and Kopke, theGerman goalkeeper pushes the ball over the top of the goal.So a comer kick for England.Speaker 2 A great shot by Ince, I'm sure he knows that Pearce set that up for him, but Kopke put the shot out of danger.Speaker 1 He does like to punch the ball, that Kopke in the German goal... England's first corner of this semi-final... Gascoigne will take it... Here comes the comer kick from Gascoigne ... and Shearer's there and Alan Shearer scores for England ... England have scored after only two minutes' play ... with a comer kick by Gascoigne ... aimed at the near post, and Alan Shearer heads the ball into the German goal ,.. It's an absolute dream start for the semi-final ... Shearer has got his fifth goal of the tournament... Would you believe it? It's England one, Germany nil!Passage 2Matt Now it's time for Critic's Choice, with news and reviews about the latest films. Good evening, Jack, seen anything good at the cinema this week?Jack Good evening Matt, yes, I've seen one of the best sports films of recent years.Matt Sports films? That's not usually a type of film which appeals to you.Jack You're right, but this time it's different. I've been to see a film about mountain climbing, it's not really your typical sports film. It's more man against the mountain.Matt Tell us more.Jack I've been to see Touching the Void, which is the story of a pair of mountain climbers in the Peruvian Andes.Matt Is it a true story?Jack Yes, it is. In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the 7,000-metre Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates were young,. word可编辑.fit and confident they would succeed.Matt So what happens?Jack Simpson and Yates' style of climbing involved moving quickly up a mountain with very few supplies and no base camps, which is risky. You can't make any mistakes.Matt I think I can guess what happens next.Jack And sure enough after climbing well for three and a half days, disaster strikes. Simpson falls and breaks his right leg. With no food or water, the climbers know they have to get off the mountain - fast. Yates is determined to find a way to get his friend home, and he has to lower Simpson down the mountain. Simpson is in agony, but Yates has no choice except to ignore his partner's cries of pain because otherwise he'll die.Well, for a while, things go well. But suddenly Simpson, at the end of the rope, fails to respond to Yates' signal. Yates is unable to move any further and has no idea why Simpson is not responding. So Yates holds on with all of his strength, all too aware that eventually his strength would give out and both would fall.But what Yates doesn't know is that he has lowered Simpson over the edge of a crevasse. Simpson is hanging in mid-air from the vertical face of the mountain. He's unable to climb back up the rope and he's got frostbitten fingers and can't communicate with Yates above him. Matt So what happens?Jack Well, I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone whohasn't seen it yet.Matt But...Jack But Yates hangs onto the rope for an hour, gettingweaker. For any climber, cutting the rope that binds him to hispartner is unthinkable.Matt Sounds very exciting. So what about the directionand the filming?Jack The director is Kevin Macdonald, and he tells thestory by cutting from interviews to shots of the climb itself.But it's the message of the film which interests me. You see,in the end, the impression left by the film is astonishment thata human being could do what Joe did, which is tosurvive.Matt Thanks Jack, this week's Critic's Choice is Touching the Void,on general release in all cinemas from nextWeek.. word可编辑.。

Unit 3-Conversation 1Kate: Are you on your way to the boathouse?Janet: No. What's happening?Kate: There's a practice race to help choose who will row on the college team.

I know how you feel.Janet: Maybe I can come later?Kate: Sure. I'm thinking of having lunch in the boathouse bar, and then watching the rowing all afternoon.Janet: How do I get to the boathouse?Kate: It's easy. Can you see where we are on the map? Here, look!Janet: OK, which way round are we standing? ... Yes, got it! Kate: OK, go down Catte Street, and turn right into the High Street. Go along the High Street and turn left into St Aldates. Walk along St Aldates, past Christ Church College until you get to Folly Bridge.Janet: I see.Kate: Then when you get to the bridge, cross over the river ... turn left and walk along the river bank. Keep going along the river ... And you're there! The boathouses are on the right, and the Hertford College Boathouse is the last one along. You can't miss it.Janet: Thanks.

Look, his boat is about to bump the one in front! Well done!Mark: Hi you guys!Kate: Fantastic, Mark. You were amazing!Mark: Well,we won the practice race, but I'm worried about getting a place on the team.The problem is that there are at least three other people on the team who have rowed before.And I can't help thinking that they were better than me.Janet: Don't worry, Mark. Everything will be OK.Mark: And then I hurt my knee getting into the boat. Janet: Oh, I'm so sorry! Kate: Too bad, but it's only a scratch. Listen up, Janet is right. No need to get nervous, Mark. You were the strongest looking guy in the boat today. Chill out!Mark: Hey, they're putting the team list on the door. Janet: Let's go over and see.Mark: No, you go!

Unit 1Inside ViewConversation 1Janet: Hi, it’s me again, Janet Li. I’m still a student at the University of Oxford in England. But I’m not in Oxford right now. And I haven’t gone back home to China either. It’s the long vacation now, and believe it or not, it’s the middle of summer. I’m spending my summer in one of the world’s greatest cities.I’m in London, home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge…and the double-decker bus. I want to find out what it’s like to live in this busy, lively city. So I’m working for London Time Off, a website about what’s on in London. This is Joe…, he’s my boss, and this is Andy, who is a reporter.And what’s my job? Well, I don’t know yet, because it’s my first day. But I’m meant to be shadowing Andy, oh, what I mean is, I’m going to be helping him. So can you tell me something about London, Andy?Andy: It’s the greatest city in the world. .Joe: Except for New York!Andy: New York? Don’t make me laugh!Joe: And your point is…?Andy: Look, if you want my opinion, London is greater than New York…Joe: No, I don’t want your opinion, thank you very much. It’s a fact.Andy: A fact! Are you serious?\Janet: And here we are in London, probably the greatest city in the world. Andy: What? Probably? Excuse me, I prefer to deal with this myself…Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy………珍妮特：嗨，又是我，珍妮特.李。
我目前还是一位英国牛津大学的学生，但我现在不在牛津，也还没有回中国的家。
现在在放长假，而且不管你信不信，现在是夏天的中期。
我现在正在世界上最棒的城市之一里度过我的夏天。
我在伦敦，它是英国国会大厦、大本钟、塔桥…和双层巴士的故乡。
我想知道住在如此热闹和生气勃勃的城市里是什么感觉。
所以，我现在在为伦敦下班网效劳。
它是一个报道伦敦时事的网站。
这是乔，他是我的老板，而他是安迪，一位记者。
我的工作是什么呢？这个我也不知道，因为今天是我的第一天，但我会注定跟随着安迪。
喔，我的意思是，我将会协助他。
那么安迪，你能告诉我一些关于伦敦的事情吗？安迪：伦敦是世界上最棒的城市。
乔：除了纽约以外！安迪：纽约？别逗我笑了！乔：那你的观点是… ?安迪：注意，如果你真的需要我的观点，伦敦确实比纽约棒…乔：不，我不需要你的观点，非常感谢！这是事实！安迪：事实！你是当真的吗？珍妮特：我们现在在伦敦，或许是世界上最棒的城市。
安迪：什么？或许？对不起，我宁可自己处理这个…乔：啊，安迪，继续做你的美梦吧...Conversation 2Janet：So when did you start working at London Time Off?Andy: About a year ago.Janet: And I hope you don’t mind my asking ,but do you like working here? Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get along quite well. He drives me crazy sometimes, because he’s my boss, and I wish I earned a bit more money, but (I)think my job is really cool, because I get to see everything that’s happening in London. And I didn’t want to join the rat race.Janet: What do you mean by the rat race?Andy: You know, doing the same thing day in day out, and not doing anything creative, or having any time to enjoy life. It’s the last thing I want to do. Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do exactly?Andy: Basically, we check out new events on the London music scene, you know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as well as exhibitions in galleries and museums. Then we go and film interviews with the musicians or the actors, or anyone who has anything to do with the event.Janet: Ok, then what happens?Andy: We edit the interviews, and then we upload it all onto the website. We get 200,000 hits a week. We’re London’s biggest listings site.Janet: Can I ask you something else?Andy: Fire away.Janet: What are we going to do now?Andy: I need to go back to my flat, and get my research. Then we’ve got an interview to do. Let’s get the tube back to my place.Janet: And what about Joe?Andy: Well, he’s supposed to be on his way to the National Theatre, to do an interview with the director of a new play. But I kind of hope he gets lost on the way.Then he’ll discover what a great place London is.Janet: I don’t understand.Andy: I’m joking! Come on, let’s go!珍妮特：那么你是什么开始在伦敦下班网上班的呢？安迪：大约一年前。
珍妮特：我希望你不要介意我的发问，你喜欢在这里工作吗？安迪：是，我非常喜欢。
我的意思是，乔跟我相处得挺好的。
虽然有时我快被他搞疯了，因为他是我的老板，而且我又希望能多赚点钱，但…我认为我的工作是十分有趣的，因为我能够看到伦敦正在发生的事情。
再说，我不愿意自己处在商业中无意义的竞争里。
珍妮特：你说的商业中无意义的竞争是什么意思？安迪：你知道，日复一日地做着同样的事情并且不做任何有创意的事或拥有任何可以享受生活的时间。
这是我最不想做的事情。
珍妮特：那你介意告诉我你具体都做些什么吗？安迪：基本上，除了新的俱乐部、最新的戏剧和电影，还有美术馆和博物馆里的展览，你知道，我们会关注伦敦乐坛的新动向。
然后，我们去采访音乐家或演员或任何与此事件有关的人并将此采访的内容录下来。
珍妮特：好的，那接下来呢？安迪：我们编辑这些采访然后将它们全部都上传到网站上。
我们一周就取得了二十万个网路点击数。
我们是伦敦最大的数据站点。
珍妮特：我能问你其他事情吗？安迪：尽管问吧。
珍妮特：我们现在要做什么？安迪：我需要回到我的公寓去拿我的研究调查。
然后，我们得去做个采访。
让我们乘地铁到我家去吧。
珍妮特：那乔怎么办？安迪：他现在应该在去国家剧院的路上。
他要去给一位新戏剧的导演做个采访。
但我有点儿希望他在途中迷路。
然后，他将会发现伦敦是多么棒的一个地方。
珍妮特：我不明白。
安迪：我是在开玩笑！快点，我们走吧！Outside viewHappiness is not what most students have in mind when they think of school. Yet a school in Germany has developed a novel way to raise the morale of its students, by teaching happiness in classes. Students at Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics are learning how to achieve happiness as an official subject, alongside mathematics and languages. This is the first school in Germany to develop a happiness course, intended for 17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams. Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school’s principal, is on a mission to change things.Ernst Fritz-Schubert: It was my idea-I’ve been at this school for 31 years, and I feel that school and happiness have to be reunited. These are two terms which are not considered together, because one does not connect school with happiness. In some cases school comes behind the dentists on the popularity scale and we should try to push schools’ popularity a bit.It has been proved by science that a happy student can learn more than an unhappy one, Unhappy students can concentrate for a while but do not use all their potential. The happiness classes are intended to help students fulfill their potential. They will help the students live happy and prosperous lives.The classes aim to help students in achieving a positive state of mind, by using all their own resources and boosting their self-esteem. In addition, they hope classes will increase self-awareness and physical comfort. Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers’behavior. The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer.Bjoern Bonn: One of the exercises I do is to have one of the students walk across the classroom, with the others copying his walk. Through this exercise, I hope they learn something about themselves. Why do I move like this? How do others see my way of walking? I hope that with a higher body awareness they ideally –of course it will take time-achieve a higher self-consciousness which could lead to happiness.Wolfgang Lang: We give these classes to students to help them find happiness. Now the question is: How do I define happiness? Happiness is for example a strengthening of the personality. We are providing helpful suggestions to make stronger people. People that ask“Who am I as a person? Am I really happy?”Pascal Gemble: It takes time and everybody has to find happiness for themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson and say teach me happiness. One can only get indications from teachers or the visiting lecturers. There are also happiness scientists, if we could talk to one of those, I am sure he would have some hints.Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya: You would think that the teachers are writing definitions on the board. Not true. Those who want happiness have to find it for themselves, you cannot really learn that.So what does it take to be happy and can you learn it at school?当学生想起学校，快乐不是多数人想到的。
