英语零基础怎样训练听力
英语零基础怎样训练听力
英语零基础怎样训练听力
１、发音
首先要纠正自己的英语发音，自己在口语上还算能过关，如果自己的发音都不行，那怎么可能听懂。
2、听力材料难度
选择难度较小,语速较慢的听力材料来训练。
建议听的材料不要太长，以一段几百字为宜，内容最好是生活和文化方面，最好先不要听科技、方面的文章，即使你能看懂,但从初学者的角度考虑,你听起来一定费力。
３、听力练习强度
以每天４5分钟左右为宜，时间不能太短，这样就收不到训练的效果,但也不能自己听的太多,毕竟这一阶段还有很多听不懂的地方,可以说有时候自己听得象在云里雾里，这样的状态持续的时间太长,对自是一个严重的打击，会严重地影响听的兴趣。
4、听的频率
一天一次即可，选择一个固定的时间听，最好是自己精力比较旺盛的时间段。
5、听力练习过程中的方法选择
唯有聚精会神,没有私心杂念才行，这只有通过不断地训练才能达到。
要做到避免外界因素的干扰。
6、经典听力材料
ＶOA 特别英语：主要是新闻、文化方面的内容,语速90词每分钟，最适合有一定词汇量的听力初学者进行听力锻炼。
我听的时候这个节目的时间段是晚上９点半到10点,我每晚的这个时间都给了SPECIAL ENＧLIＳH，持续了3个月。
建议采取的听力方法：做听力笔记，手中有笔和纸,及时地记下一些不熟知的词汇,因为特别英语的常用词只有1600左右,把这些常用词都弄懂，完全听懂它只是一个时间问题.
备注：这一阶段最重要,一定需要耐心和毅力，如果读写基础还行的话，应该能在2、３个月之内完成这个过程,进入攻坚阶段。
深圳大学研究生基础综合英语听力(12-13第二学期)VOA-Special English
1.allowanceThis is the VOA Special English Economics Report.Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on.That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.2.e-commerceFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Economics Report in Special English.Americans are buying more products and services than ever before through the Internet. And experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries.Online sales now represent as much as one-tenth of all retail sales in the United States. This has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal.Lynne Shaner used the Internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and step-daughter. Other than food, 90 percent of her purchases were made on her home computer."I find that, by being able to go online and choose the things that I need to choose, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, I eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and I usually get a better selection."There are a lot of people like her. Experts say American online shopping hit records in both November and December. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have bought something electronically.Store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. Cornell University marketing professor Ed McLaughlin says they should be worried. He spoke to VOA b y Skype."Anything that can move online, will. And it's just a matter of time."Professor McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. He says the stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. He also says some stores can please customers by offering to set upor repair electronic products.Bill Martin is the founder of ShopperTrak. His business helps stores learn about their customers. He told VOA by Skype that traditional stores offer a social experience that some people enjoy."There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision, you know, that takes place. Oftentimes, you know, you need that last sense of …Boy, this is exactly what I want' -- that feeling before you're ready to part with money, and you can't always get that on-line. It's a rather cold process."Bill Martin says traditional stores can provide goods to buyers more-quickly than online stores. And some retailers are using websites to persuade people to visit their stores.While e-commerce worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services like FedEx and UPS is keeping up with the number of packages. UPS Manager Dana Kline says her company is very busy at this time of year. UPS is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary worker positions during the holiday season.3.food safetyThis is the Agriculture Report in Special English.Each year, bad food sickens about one in six Americans. Proposed new rules aim to improve food safety. Officials say the changes could prevent more than one million cases of food-related illnesseseach year.The new rules were proposed this month, exactly two years after President Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act. The rules are the first step in putting the law into effect, making the biggest changes in food safety since the 1930s.The law makes the Food and Drug Administration responsible for preventing foodborne illnesses. Experts say this is a change from the role that the FDA has played in the past in reacting to disease outbreaks.Congress passed the law after a series of outbreaks linked to bagged spinach, peanut butter and other foods. Margaret Hamburg is commissioner of the FDA.They occurred because of problems that would have been addressed by these kinds of approaches. So I think, you know, we‟re very optimistic that we will begin to see real change.”The agency is proposing to require food manufacturers to show that they have identified where contamination is most likely to happen. Manufacturers would also have to show that they have taken steps to prevent it. The proposed rules also deal with safety in growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables.The Congressional Budget Office estimates that establishing all of the provisions of the law will cost the government $1.4 billion. The Grocery Manufacturers of America, an industry group, has not released an estimate of what it will cost producers.But FDA Deputy Commissioner Michael Taylor says the new rules are worth the price.“Even if you just look at estimated reductions in illness, but if you also take into account avoiding disruption of the food supply and the loss of confidence in those commodities by consumers, so Ithink we‟ll see that the benefits substantially outweigh the costs of implementation.”Caroline Smith-DeWaal is director for food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. She says the rules should have been released a year ago.“We‟re really happy that the new rules have come out. They‟re a little late.”And she notes that they are not finished.“The bigger question is, where are the rules on imports that haven‟t been released yet?”The FDA says about 15 percent of food eaten by Americans is imported, and that share is growing. Rules have not been released yet to require imported foods to meet the same standards as food produced in the United States. But the agency says they are coming soon.4.IphonesFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report in Special English.The iPhone has become one of the most popular mobile phones in the United States. An 18-year-old student in California has used his knowledge of the device to create his own business. And he has gained national recognition for his work.Vincent Quigg is the chief executive officer of TechWorld. His company is kind of like a hospital for iPhones."I'm 18 years old. I'm a college student. And I'm the CEO and founder of TechWorld, where we specialize in customizing and repairing iPhones."Vincent Quigg launched TechWorld while in high school."My mom became single a couple of years ago and I had to grow up. And in order to keep my lifestyle, I had to find different ways to stay financially ahead of the game [to] keep my phone, keep a car, transportation and all that stuff. So I had to find ways to be entrepreneurial."An organization called the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, or NFTE, helped the young man get started. Both he and his mother, Carla Quigg, admit that he had a hard time developing a business plan."He quit the class, which I was very disappointed.""It was extremely hard for myself to find a business to start and run with it. But once I had that 'aha moment' or what I knew I wanted to go with, it was really easy and extremely fun."At the time, Vincent worked for the electronics store BestBuy. He says people always came into the store with broken electronic devices. He decided that repairing those devices was what he wanted to do. He not only re-registered for the NFTE class, but he also won the organization's national competition for best young entrepreneur.Estelle Reyes is executive director for NFTE in Los Angeles."He has an incredible gift for presenting himself and his dreams in a very compelling way that engages everyone to rally around him."His business has grown through word-of-mouth. Vincent says he now fixes up to 10 phones per week. He earns about $1,500 each month in sales. Brisa Munoz is one of his satisfied customers."I actually looked him up on the Internet because I had heard so much about this kid, how he won entrepreneur of the year. So I looked him up, and I was like, whoo, I want him to fix my phone.'"TechWorld has two other employees. Kacee Wheeler is one of them."He's such an amazing kid, and you always see his wheels turning with ideas every day. And it's really inspiring for him to be so young and pushing and have the drive. It's amazing to me."Kacee Wheeler works on the technical side of the business. Vincent Quigg now deals with finances and planning. He says he wants to continue to grow his business. His biggest goal, he says, has always been to work for himself.ughingThis is the VOA Special English Health Report.Imagine this situation. You pass a group of people. The people are talking to each other. You cannot hear what they are saying. But suddenly they start laughing. What would you think? Would you think they were laughing at something funny that one of them said? Or -- be honest with yourself -- would you think they were laughing at you? Yes, you.Being laughed at is a common fear. But a major study published in two thousand nine found that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to culture.People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.Some people in the study said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations but hid their feelings of insecurity. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before.The study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia were more likely to be in the first group. They would hide their feelings of insecurity if they were around other people's laughter. But peoplein Iraq, Egypt and Jordan were more likely to try to avoid such situations if they felt they had been laughed at before.Shy people often avoid situations that would force them into close contact with other people. They worry that something they say or do will make other people laugh at them. But some people worry much more than others. They may have a disorder called gelotophobia. Gelos is a Greek word. It means laughter. Phobia means fear. This fear of laughter can be truly sad for those who live with it. It can affect how they lead their lives.In the study, a team from the University of Zurich led more than ninety researchers from around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another purpose of the study was to compare the levels of fear of being laughed at in different cultures. The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people in forty-two different languages. The findings appeared in the scientific journal Humor.And that's the VOA Special English Health Report. Is shyness a serious problem for you or someone you know? It was for a university student who asked people in our audience for advice on how to deal with it. You can find out what they said at -- where you can also read, listen and learn English with our stories. I'm Faith Lapidus.6.living longerFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Health Report in Special English.A new study says people are living longer, but many are living longer in poor health. Researchers found that life expectancy has increased by about five years since 1990. On average, men worldwide can expect to live 67 and a half years. Women can expect to live to age 73.Almost 500 researchers in 50 countries took part in the study of global disease and disability. The findings appear in a series of articles in the Lancet. Richard Horton is the medical journal's editor-in-chief."All of us in the world of health focus on diseases and often bad news. Actually, the Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study broadly presents very good news."The research found that far fewer people died of measles, tetanus, respiratory problems and diarrheal diseases in 2010 than in 1990. Deaths from infections, childbirth-related problems and malnutrition fell about 17 percent to 13.2 million.Global efforts have focused on reducing HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. HIV/AIDS deaths have dropped since 2006, and TB deaths fell almost 20 percent since 1990. But each of these diseases still kills more than a million people every year. The number of malaria deaths increased by an estimated 20 percent, to almost 1.2 million in 2010."Those three big, big diseases are not just going to go away."Mike Cohen is the head of global health research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was not involved in the research, but says it shows a change taking place worldwide."As infectious diseases have been better controlled and people live longer, and as their diets change and lifestyles change, the inevitable consequence in health is, you have to deal much more broadly with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes."The study found that these kinds of non-communicable diseases caused more than half of the global burden of disease in 2010.The two biggest killers -- heart disease and stroke -- caused one-fourth of all deaths in 2010. That was up from one-fifth in 1990.There was a 48 percent increase in the number of deaths from lung cancer, which is commonlycaused by smoking tobacco.The top causes of disability in 2010 were physical conditions like arthritis and back problems, and mental and behavioral problems like depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Harvard University professor Joshua Salomon was a co-author of the disability research."I think in general we've been more successful at reducing mortality and less successful at actually addressing chronic disability."7.SahelFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture Report in Special English.In Africa, severe food shortages have affected eighteen million people in nine Sahel countries this year. This was the third severe food crisis in four years in the area bordering the Sahara. How can the Sahel break its cycle of food insecurity? Aid workers are asking that question as this year's emergency eases. David Gressly is the United Nations regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel."If we don't seize the opportunity in two thousand thirteen, there's a good chance that this whole issue will be forgotten until the next drought, and then we'll be asking ourselves the same set of questions."Mr. Gressly says during a crisis, families eat just one or two meals a day, take their children out of school, sell their animals and go into debt. These actions put them at greater risk in a future crisis. In fact, many of the families affected by this year's food crisis had yet to recover from the earlier ones.Aid agencies sent food and emergency assistance. They supplied farmers with drought-resistant seeds, improved fertilizers and medicine for livestock. Aid groups also worked to improve irrigation systems and grain storage. These measures dealt with short-term needs, but David Gressly says thework should not stop when the crisis eases."And I think now there's an understanding [of the need for] a very targeted program looking at these eighteen million people affected this year, working with them to find ways so that they don't have to make the kinds of decisions to survive in a crisis of a drought, for example, that compromises their long-term future."Aid groups say they are working to build the "resilience" of communities, to make them stronger during a crisis. David Gressly says this means taking steps like reducing child malnutrition and changing cultural practices that may be harmful.For example, he says there is a practice in many communities across the Sahel to give water to babies under six months of age because of the heat. But the water is often dirty and makes the children sick. This starts a cycle toward severe malnutrition. It can be prevented by feeding babies only breast milk.This year's food crisis followed unpredictable and insufficient rains. High food prices only made the situation worse. David Gressly says aid agencies in Chad have been building dams to store water during the rainy season. This water can later be used to irrigate fields.Al Hassan Cisse from the British aid group Oxfam says building the resilience of poor people also means investing in food reserves and social protections like health care. Aid groups say prevention costs less than treatment.8.SchoolFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Education Report in Special English.Funerals began this week for the school shooting victims in Newtown, Connecticut. Last Friday a20-year-old local man killed 20 children, six educators and himself at Sandy Hook ElementarySchool. Officials say Adam Lanza used guns owned by his mother after shooting her to death at their home.The shooting was the second deadliest ever at an American school. In 2007 a student at Virginia Tech killed 32 people and then himself.What happened in Newtown has once again reopened debate about gun control and issues like mental health services. President Obama spoke Sunday at a memorial service in the town. He said he will use whatever power he has as president "in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."On Wednesday, he named Vice President Joe Biden to lead an administration team in developing proposals to reduce gun violence.Students at Sandy Hook Elementary are expected to return to school in a neighboring town in January after winter break. Sandy Hook will remain closed until further notice.In the gunfire last week, a community lost a school for the most tragic of reasons. Days earlier, another community not very far away regained a school in a story of hope, renewal and the strength of the human spirit.Flooding from Hurricane Sandy nearly destroyed Saint Camillus School in the Rockaway area of Queens, in New York City. The Catholic school stands just a short distance from the Atlantic Ocean. The more than 200 students and teachers went to another school while Saint Camillus was closed for six weeks.Many people remain displaced in the area. But the reopening of the school on December 10 was a victory for the community."So good morning boys and girls."Good morning, Sister Agnes!"Sister Agnes White is principal of Saint Camillus."We're all together. We're back home, and we are ready to start anew."Earlier, Sister Agnes gave cut-out paper stars to students to tape anywhere they wanted on the school walls."Between now and Christmas, this building should be filled with stars, a symbol of light. We all lost light. We know what it's like to be without light. But now we have light in this building and we need the light that you're going to put up with the stars, a symbol of the light of Jesus Christ."Parts of the school remain damaged beyond repair. Some students lost their homes as a result of the storm.School secretary Kerry Montero says the message from Hurricane Sandy is clearest in the many recent acts of kindness."It's touching, you know, the outpouring of help that we've received from everyone. I mean, we've had people from Connecticut, California, Brooklyn, all over the place, coming and helping us."9.sun powerFrom VOA Learning English, this is the TECHNOLOGY REPORT in Special English.Officials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world's first territory totally powered by the sun. The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burdenof depending on imported fossil fuels.New Zealand's foreign affairs minister released a statement about The Tokelau Renewable Energy Project. Murray McCully said Tokelau's three main atolls, or islands, now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs. He said until now, Tokelau has been one hundred percent dependent on diesel for producing electricity. That, he said, has burdened the country with heavy economic and environmental costs.The three atolls of Tokelau are Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo. The group o f islands is about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and is administered by New Zealand. Together they have about one thousand five hundred citizens.Each atoll received its own solar power grid system. New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar grids at around seven million dollars. The last of the grids was completed earlier this month.It is estimated that oil imports make up to thirty percent of national income in some parts of the Pacific. The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year. One project coordinator said Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens.Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects. The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by twenty-twenty. The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines. And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters.East Timor's government has promised that no households in the capital, Dili, would be using firewood for cooking by twenty fifteen. It also says fifty percent of the country's electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade.New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully says the country will hold a Pacific energy summit in March next year. He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau, Tonga, and the Cook Islands.10.UnemploymentFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Economics Report in Special English.The International Labor Organization says nearly 200 million people are without jobs. And the ILO is warning of even higher unemployment this year.The United Nations agency this week released a report called "Global Employment Trends 2013". It says the number of unemployed worldwide rose by more than four million last year, compared with 2011. The report says one fourth of this increase was in developed economies. The remaining 75 percent were in mainly developing economies in Asia, and in African countries south of the Sahara Desert.The report says an estimated 39 million people stopped looking for work last year. It says the average length of unemployment increased sharply in developed economies. One-third of all job seekers there were unemployed for a year or more.The ILO's Director-General, Guy Ryder, is concerned about the world economy. He says the recovery is not expected to be strong enough to reduce unemployment quickly."We see that unemployment is set to rise again. Our projection would be for 5.1 million more in 2013 and still a further 3 million in 2014. So the trends are very much in the wrong direction."The ILO report says the labor market is especially difficult for young people. It says almost 74 million people between the ages of 15 and 24 are unemployed worldwide. That represents anunemployment rate of 12.6 percent.The report says more and more young people who experience long-term unemployment stop looking for work. It says this prevents young people from gaining on-the-job experience.Guy Ryder says the ILO has been warning about the risks of what it calls a "lost generation." He has called on policy makers to support youth employment.Mr. Ryder says all countries, especially developed ones, must provide more predictable policies. He says these policies must include measures to increase wages and support stronger consumption. And he says countries should enact reforms to strengthen the banking industry, so banks can support investment and provide credit.While the I.L.O. believes there is reason to be concerned about the world economy, the International Monetary Fund expects the international economy to grow slowly this year. A new IMF report predicts that international growth will reach 3.5 percent in 2013. That would be three tenths of a percent better than the rate last year.11.waste plasticFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report in Special English.这里是美国之音慢速英语科技报道。

零基础怎么学好英语听力
零基础怎么学好英语听力要想有效提升英语听力能力，平常一定要养成多积存和运用的好习惯。
学习的形式可以是多种多样的，比如通过大声朗诵课文或阅读英文材料，跟着英文歌曲一起哼歌，边听录音边朗诵等等，这些都是可以学习英语听力的。
1、培养正确的语音和语言技能我们必须掌握单词的正确发音，因为这样才可能正确区分单词的重读、弱读、爆破及失去爆破，才干够知道如何辨认句子的连读、节奏以及语调的变化。
掌握了这些，我们就能够更了解听力内容，也能够清楚地听懂听力内容了。
所以，培养正确的语音和语言技能要放上日程了。
2、保持听说训练学习英语最难的就是保持，因为在学习的过程中会碰到很多困难，学习内容也比较枯燥。
要想有效提升英语听力能力，平常一定要养成多积存和运用的好习惯。
当然，学习的形式可以是多种多样的，比如通过大声朗诵课文或阅读英文材料，跟着英文歌曲一起哼歌，边听录音边朗诵等等，这些都是可以学习英语听力的。
除此之外，适时做些听写单词、句子和短文填空之类的学习，还可以与同学一起学习对话哦!这些不仅是在提升我们的英语听力，同时也是在对大脑感官的刺激，因为听与说是相辅相成的。
3、注意语篇较长的听力技巧训练听力学习中，我要提醒一下大家的就是要注意语篇较长的听力技巧训练。
在听较长的语篇时要注意整体的掌握，注意的焦点应当是整个语篇的大意，而不是在各别词语上。
不要强迫自己能够听清每一个词，而是要把重点放在听关键词上，一边听一边把要点及回答问题的关键词记下来。
这时候你不必须要把整个关键词记录下来，你可以用属于自己的特别符号记录，当然是要你自己能够看懂的符号。
要特别注意重复的词语，这些词通常会给你一些线索，还会帮你回忆起在题目中听过的人名和事物等名称。
注意听短文的首句和首段，文章的开首和开首段，这些往往是对短文内容的概括。
我们对篇幅较长的听力内容其实只要掌握期主要内容就好了，不要去扣细节。
不然这样会很累的，而且也得不到正确的答案。

While I was exploring the possibility of becoming a teacher, I did a lot of thinking about the way that the education system in the United States is run. And I disagree with a lot of the ways that things seem to happen and have happened for a long time in our educational system.Uh ... people don't seem to recognize various kinds of intelligence; they seem to just want to give standardized tests and peg you for what you are capable of very early on your education. I've always felt that a lot of classes tha t you’re forced to take in high school are not really geared towards what you are going to be doing. There’s very little emphasis on your own special interests. Uh ... everybody’s sort of treated like they're the same person. Everything is very generalized. There’s a lot of uh ... there’s a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. I think being well-rounded isn’t really possible because it becomes impossible to develop any one part of yourself, um ... to any great degree. And as a resu lt people can’t get intogood colleges if they, yaknow, haven’t, yaknow, scored the ... the right thing on the math section of SAT, even if they are brilliant writers, and vice versa. You know, um... people just really are not given a chance, I think, in a lot of cases.Another thing that really disturbs me is the way that students are separated from each other. I got involved with vocational education, uh ... which means that the kids go out to a technical or trade school for part of the week, and then they come back to the home school for the other part of the week and they take their academic classes. However, those kids are kept separate from the rest of the school almost as if they’re below them. There’s a lot of stratification. Um ... at any rate I fee l that the kids are very aware of the way that they’re perceived by the educators, by their teachers and, yaknow, by their peers. And I think that it ...it causes them to act in a way that... is ... not really optimal. And that’s pretty sad to me. I actua lly had kids tell me when I was teaching them, “yaknow, we’re the just bad class; we... yaknow, it’s not that we have a problem with you personally; yaknow, we are just bad. We are bad kids” because pretty much that was what they felt they were. And yaknow, their classes were very limiting, uh the teachers never try to do anything creative with those classes. I think that many of the kids in that class were intelligent, but never actually realized their potential because of the way they were tracked very early on their education.Listening Script twoMargaret Warner: Mr. Unz. Why do you believe that bilingual education should be scrapped?Ron Unz: Well, the overwhelming practical evidence is that bilingual education has failed on every large scale case that’s been tried in the United States, in particular in California. The origins of this initiative was the case last year of a lot of immigrant Latino parents in downtown LA, who had to begin a public boycott of their local elementary school to try to force the school to give their children the right to be taught English, which the school was denying. And I think that really opened my eyes to the current state of the program in California, where the statistics are dreadful.Margaret Warner: Mr. Lyons.Janies Lyons: It is not the case that bilingual education is failing children. There are poor bilingual education programs, just as there are poor programs of every type in our schools today. But bilingual education has made it possible for children to have continuous development in their native language, while they're in the process of learning English, something that doesn't hap pen overnight, and it’s made it possible for children to learn math and science at a rate equal to English-speaking children while t hey’re in the process of acquiring English. Margaret Warner: Mr. Unz, what about that point — for these children who don't speak English well they will fall behind in the basic subjects if they can't be taught those in Spanish, or whatever language? I shouldn’t say just Spanish, but whatever their family’s language is.Ron Unz: That’s a very reasonable point. And to the extent that we’re talking about older children. 14 or 15 year olds who come to the United States, don't know any English and are put in the public schools I think a very reasonable case canbe made for bilingual education. I don’t know if it’s correct, but at least you can make a case for it. But most of the children we're talking about enter California or America public schools when they’re five or six or seven. At the age of five years old, the only academic subjects a child is really doing is drawing with crayons or cutting and, you know, with paper and that type of thing. And at that age children can learn another language so quickly and easily that the only reasonable thing to do is to put them in a program where they're taught English as rapidly as possible and then put into the mainstream classes with the other children so they can move forward academically.Margaret Warner: There is something to that point, isn’t there, Mr. Lyons, that very young children do absorb languages very quickly?James Lyons: They absorb certain facets of language very quickly. They learn to speak in an unaccented form like a native English speaker. But the research shows that actually adults are much more efficient and quicker language learners than children because they're working from a broader linguistic base, a greater conceptual base. I really take objection to what Mr. Unz is saying that children at the age of five, six, and seven are only coloring and cutting out paper.That isn't going to lead to the high standards.*********************Part two Arts Education ******************* Listing script oneInterviewer: Professor Gardner, what did you find in your studies to be the biggest difference between arts education in the United States and artseducation in China? What struck you most, then?Gardner:I was so struck by the differences between arts education in the United States and arts education in China. US youngsters love to explore andthink that they explore very well; and yet, without the requisitediscipline, their products are typically of little interest —exceptperhaps to their doting parents.Education in all of the arts in China is very precisely prescribed.Teachers and parents know exactly what they want children to be ableto do and they know how to get the desired behaviour andperformance in almost perfect fashion. On the other hand, there is littlefree exploration.But I must add another surprise. When young children in China weregiven a novel task in the arts, they performed very well. Before visitingChina, I had thought that young people must always begin with aperiod of free exploration, before they begin to acquire discipline andskills. After visiting China and thinking about what I had seen, I came toa different conclusion. It is not important that one "explore" first; whatis important is that one has a significant period for exploration, eitherbefore, during, or after one has acquired some discipline. Interviewer: As you might have noticed, these days after-school classes in music, dance, painting and calligraphy are very popular in China, althoughmany of the "young emperors" might not be so willing to learn allthese "extra skills." What's your opinion on this?Gardner: The fewer children you have, and the more resources at your disposal, the more likely you are to give your children every form of enrichment.China has thousands of years of history of encouraging talentdevelopment, so it is not at all a surprise that many kids are takingafter-school arts classes. But what children do when their parents pushthem, is very different than what they do when they grow up, and theirparents are no longer in control of the rewards and punishment. Byand large, those grown up students who continue their area of talentare those who use the talent professionally and those who gainintrinsic pleasure from the activity.Interviewer: In recent years, art museums and community arts centres have been mushrooming in China as the country experiences rapid modernizationand internationalization. How do you balance arts education in schoolsand arts education beyond school Walls?Gardner:It is entirely to the good that students now have opportunities to learn about the arts outside of class —in museums, in children’s palaces,through the electronic media, community centres, and outdoorinstallations. Very often children learn much more comfortably andpersonally in what we call “informal educational settings.”Optimally, there should be a division of labour between schools andinformal settings. As just one example: Schools could focus more onproviding history and cultural background — whereas museums mightprovide the opportunity to learn about special topics, or probe into atopic more deeply.Listening Script twoAnn: Do you find there’s much opportunity... to do other things, besides studying, during term- time? I mean, if you have a, a very academic course, you say the social life is good, but you might not always have time to, er, enjoy it, if you ...have a lot...Ian: Not being a very academic course, I wouldn’t know.Ann:How about you, Tony?Tony: I suppose ... a business course isn’t particularly academic, if you like, but, er, I certainly find quite enough time to do newspapers and ... all I want to do on the social side. [Yes] Go to dances and so, on.Ian:But then you work till five in the morning, don’t you? [Laughter]Tony:Let’s not bring personalities into this!Ann:D'you think that a lot of students, are interested in producing things like newspapers and plays and writing poetry?Tony: No, but a lot of students like to have those things and a few students like to do them. This is why, I mean if you had—out of a college of, what is it, fifteen hundred students — if you had five hundred students going along to the Drama Club on the first week of term ... they try and mount two productions out of five hundred people. It’d be absolutely impossible. Yet, there are those, the sufficient people to see, what is it, twenty, thirty people, doing those produc tions. It’s the same with the newspaper.Ann: Yes. But erm, I think this is because more students haven’t got the confidence to show the work they do. I think a lot of students write things and paint, in the background, and just don’t like to er ...Ian:Er, I think, I think myself, they’re just not interested, in [You don’] sort of taking part in joint efforts. They prefer just to erm, well, they might write poetry on their own or something, but they were asked to write something for a newspaper, they wou ldn’t be interested.Ann:Is this because the courses are too difficult? They have too much academic work, as I said before?Tony:I think it’s all psychological, to bring a nice big word into it! Erm ... those students think they shouldn’t do it, because they think they won’t have [Mm] time and so on. I think this is the thing. It’s not a question of not having enough time. It’s jus t organizing it. I mean, Ian says I stay up till five in the morning or whatever, you know, never go to bed till two. [Yes] You can, if you, if you’re determined to do something, you can arrange it. You can say, “Okay, I’ll do the newspaper between lecture s finishing at four, or whatever, and go home at six”, and you have two hours a day on the newspaper, say. You know, [Yes] just, say, this is a way of organizing things. A lot of other students will say at four, “Oh dear, I must go on working, but before t hat I must have a break”. And they spend two hours in a coffee bar. Okay, this [laughter] is the way they want to organize their time. [Yes] They spend i t...you know ... it’s just that I want to do it doing newspaper, whereas other students want to drink coffee.Ann: So, in other words, students have an awful lot of freedom of choice on how they organize their social life and how they organize their working life, how they spend their money. And I think this is erm, one of the ideal things about being a student.Ian: You’re not tied down by anything. You just do more or less as you please, within the framework of going to lectures, or the majority of lectures. Ann:Yes, that’s right, I mean, I, I have worked before and erm ... although I had, theoretically, a lot more free time ... erm ... it was only within certain hours, you know, after working hours, and at weekends, [Mm] and this isn’t what I call free time. You know, I mean, at the moment with lectures, you can take off two or three hours during the afternoon and go to see an art exhibition.Whereas if you’re ... erm, working all week, you have to restrict it to weekends when the art gallery is ... crowded with the weekend trippers and, [Mm. Mm.] and it’s quite unpleasant.***************Part Three graduate education******************* Listening Script oneDaniel Denecke: Hello and welcome! Thank you for the opportunity to speak to so many of you about the issues facing graduate education today. Virginia: Hi, Daniel. My company recently hired a lot of PhDs. Many have good research skills, but no social skills and no working experiences besides academic experiences. Maybe universities can do a better job to address this issue.Daniel Denecke: This is something that graduate deans are beginning to address now through various professional development programs.At the master’s level, there are many “professional master’s degrees” that combine core, curricular content of a traditional degree with internships and workshops in “soft skills” such as commu nication, presentation, lab and budget management, etc.New York, N.Y.: Hello Daniel. Isn’t it a little disingenuous to talk about how we need to protect America’s huge production of PhDs when America can’t employ many of those PhDs? When the academic job market is so tight, it seems like perhaps we need to do a better job of screening people out of doctoral programs, rather than accepting so many who will only be disappointed when they can’t get the jobs they want.Daniel Denecke: Some disciplines (History, for example) have attempted to address this by limiting enrollments.My own opinion is that a graduate degree is not only about preparing students for a “job” slot that already exists. Graduate degrees are giving people the high level cognitive skills and advanced thinking that will enable them to be flexible and to adapt to an economic world where jobs are always changing. This is why China and India and Europe are so aggressively building up their graduate degree programs.Princeton, N.J.: Hi, I'm ve ry grateful for this Q&A session. I’m an electrical engineering doctoral student in my third year. When I got shoulder-deep into doctoral research, I found it to be arduous and unrewarding, and I’m leavinggraduate school without my PhD.My question then is: in the face of 50-60% attrition rates, should we really be handing out fellowships and support to push students right out of undergrad (like myself) who don’t nec essarily know what they want to do with their lives?Won't this worsen the attrition rates? Thank you for your time.Daniel Denecke: One of the things that universities are doing now to try to address exactly the problem you experienced here is to enhance the pre-admission and orientation processes so that students have a better sense of what a career in research entails. For instance, pre-admission summer research opportunities, workshops peer mentoring, etc.Burke, Va.: Hello, Daniel. Is it better for future career prospects to earn a master's degree from an online university or to earn a master's degree from a university where classroom attendance at the university is a compulsory step to graduating?Daniel Denecke: Distance and online graduate education is becoming more and more common. But there is a lot of fluctuation in quality. Some online degrees are very good, and for others the quality is unknown or contested Regional accreditation is one way of inquiring about how the graduate education community perceived these degrees.Listening Script twoSince we’re meeting here at Wisconsin, I'll draw upon a local example of a faculty member who embodies the principle of research and education being twosides of the same “integrated” coin. U.W. plant pathologist Paul Williams invented what are called “Fast Plants” — these go from being a seed to producing seeds in just 35 days. Fast plants were first developed as a research tool for biologists, but have come to be used in science classrooms around the globe. Because the plants grow and develop so fast, students can study the plants’ genetic cha nges over a semester. Profes sor Williams says fast plants “became part of a larger sea-change in the way biology is taught. We measure our success,” he says, “by how much our ideas are adopted and adapted.” What a glowing example of integrating education and research!Throughout my own career, I have had a passion for the integration of teaching and learning with research, within both undergraduate and graduate education. Educating engineers has occupied the greater part of my life. While I was Dean of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, we experienced the usual challenges in supporting our graduate students financially as well as intellectually. One mechanism of financial support, still ubiquitous across academe, was to appoint first-year graduate students as Teaching Assistants (TAs), a kind of itinerant labor performed adhoc for pay, and rarely integrated within the students’ research activities. This practice fosters t h e attitude among students that teaching is some sort of “add-on”, not part and parcel of their doctoral education.However, our Department of Chemical. Engineering implemented quite another approach —to support all first-year graduate students fully the first year, with stipend funds drawn primarily from departmental general funds contributed by the Dean, industry and endowment income. Then, around each student’s third year, heor she would undertake a teaching practicum—first, being given preparation on how to teach and, second, teaching undergrads as a component of the doctoral curriculum.When I tried to institutionalize this paradigm across the school, one argument posed against it was that since the graduate students were partly supported by industrial monies, industry would not want their investment used for a teaching practicum. So. I canvassed a group of CEQs — and 100% of them said they’d love to hire PhDs with both teaching training and experience.Indeed, graduate students today may follow ever more diverse pathways, yet all will need the skills of teaching and learning, whether they end up as professors, practicing in industry, or serving in government.Unit two love*************************Part One Romance********************* Listening script oneOur love story is not your average love story. Although I was bom in 1960 and my husband Joe was born in 1962, our story really began much earlier on a trip from Austria to Halifax in October 1947. That is a trip both our fathers took to find a new life in Canada. They did not know each other and could not recall ever meeting aboard the ship. Little could they have known that fate was taking a long journey, one that would unite their unborn children in 1992.My father, upon his arrival in Canada, lived and worked in several different citiesacross the country before settling in Toronto. Joe’s father did the same but lived in Thunder Bay, Ont., for quite a few years before he moved his family to Toronto in 1968. Both our fathers were pen pals with the women they would eventually marry, bringing them to Canada from their respective homelands in 1958. They had three children each (Joe and myself being the middle children). What is also very interesting is the fact that Joe’s father and my father both worked in construction.Fast-forward several decades: I was working for a large bank in downtown Toronto’s financial district. One day as I walked through an underground concourse, I passed a man in the hall and with just one glance something struck me about him. He seemed to have a brooding quality. Of average height, he had large broad shoulders and longish, wavy dark-brown hair, a short beard and great eyes. There was a certain aura about him. Knowing how many people worked in the district, I knew I wouldn't see him any time soon. Several months later, I passed him in the concourse once again He was walking with a woman I used to work with. Disappointed, I assumed he was dating her and that was it for me.Several more months passed and I was now working in an area that was accessible only by a stairway. One day I was going down the stairs when I passed him going up. I could not believe my eyes! It was then that I realized: We worked for the same company! I was floored to say the I attempted to smile at him, but he was looking down.1 asked around and found out his name was Joe, which department he worked in and, most important, that he was not attached! Then, as I was debating whether to put my name in for our annual baseball team, I saw his name on the sign-up sheet.That made up my mind for me!Our games were played on Centre Island, a short ferry ride from the Toronto shoreline on Lake Ontario, and our eyes locked while we were on the boat taking us there. Something inexplicable passed between us: We connected. Soon, we were cheering each other on as we played our game, and on the way back I worked up the courage to introduce myself. “Hi! My name is Rosemary. What do you do at the bank?”Later, we ended up working side by side after he took a position in my department. Our relationship slowly progressed as we got to know each other. Living in fairly close proximity, we found ourselves taking the subway home together every day. Our friendship blossomed.On Remembrance Day, 1993, Joe was out of the office on a course. He called to tell me how he felt about me. He said, “I can’t stop thinking about you, Rosemary. And I can’t sleep at night." That day, and with those words, my life changed forever.Because we were working together, I was apprehensive about dating him, but after several months of intensifying feelings, we could no longer hold off. We had been dating for eight months when he proposed on the first day of spring in 1994. We were married on May 6, 1995. It was the most perfect day and we had the best time ever! Although we were in our mid-3os, getting married for the first time, God has blessed us with two wonderful children. Life cannot be any better.So, you see, fate already had things in store for us back in 1947. Some say that fate does not exist, that our lives are just random occurrences and coincidences. We beg to differ. A web was being woven even before we were born. That is fate!Listening script twoWhen Harry Met SallyHarry: Well how about this way. I love that you get cold when it’s seventy on e degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich,I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at melike I’m nuts, I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.Sally: You see, that is just like you Harry. You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you Harry... I really hate you. I hate you.Endless LoveEndless LoveMy love,There’s only you in my lifeThe only thing that’s brightMy first love,You’re every breath that I takeYou’re every step I makeAnd II want to shareAll my love with youNo one else will do ...And your eyesYour eyes, your eyesThey tell me how much you care Ooh yes, you will always beMy endless loveTwo hearts,Two hearts that beat as one Our lives have just begunForeverI'll hold you close in my armsI can’t resist your charmsAnd loveOh, love。

This often happens in old age. It is normal and not serious. But many older persons suffer from a severe memory loss. It is so severe that they can not even remember the simplest things. And their mental abilities are so reduced that they can not think or reason clearly or communicate with others. They become troubled and confused, suspicious and hostile. They say and do things that often make no sense and their behavior and personalities change so much that they seem to be different from the people they once were.Such persons are not mentally ill; nor are these problems caused by old age. They might be suffering from a mysterious brain disorder called Alzheimer's disease. The disease is a major cause of death among older Americans. More than 3 million Americans older than 65 are believed to suffer from it. And many younger persons also have the disease.Alzheimer's disease causes the brain cells of its victims to break down and wash away. The nerves in the outer part of the brain become twisted around each other. And the brain messages can not get through. So the victims no longer think or remember normally.The disease usually starts in persons between 40 and 60 years old. Butsometimes it starts much earlier. It causes its victims to suffer some of the mental weakness and memory loss that often develop in much older persons, but because the victims are younger，Alzheimer's disease many times is mistaken for an emotional problem.Keys1. They think it is a natural aging process.2. They behave differently from before.3. Troubled and confused, suspicious and hostile.4. Because of an unknown brain disorder.5. Because their twisted brain cells can't transmit any messages.Unit 4ScriptsAlcohol and Heart AttacksThis is Bill White with the VOA Special English Health Report.A new study says drinking beer, wine or other alcoholic drinks several times a week can help prevent heart attacks in men. Kenneth Mukamal (MUCK-a-mal) of Harvard University Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts led the study. It said men who drank moderate amounts of alcohol three or more times a week were about 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack than non-drinkers. The kind of alcoholic drink did not appear important. Doctor Mukamal says drinking even a little alcohol several times a week can protect the heart. The study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center completed the study. They developed their findings from a 12-year study of almost 40,000 men. The men were ages 40 to 75.The researchers recorded how much alcohol the men drank and how often. They noted the kind of alcohol and whether the men drank it with meals. They also considered other facts. These included the men's ages, use of tobacco, physical activity and whether their parents had heart disease.Doctor Mukamal says there are several reasons for the results of the study. Alcohol usually raises levels of HDL, the so-called good kind of cholesterol. In addition, alcohol affects the body's reaction to the hormone insulin. Insulin helps control sugar in the blood. And alcohol may improve how the body processes blood sugar. Alcohol also affects two important blood processes. This may help prevent blockages in blood vessels that cause heart attacks.Earlier studies show moderate alcohol use also could help prevent heart attacks inwomen. But too much alcohol is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.However, not all doctors agree that drinking alcohol is a good way to prevent heart attacks. The head of preventive medicine at Columbia University in New York City says medicines currently in use can help prevent heart attacks. Ira Goldberg says people can take these medicines without the risk of diseases linked to alcohol.Drinking too much alcohol is bad for the health. It can cause liver problems. And it can lead to deadly accidents while driving or operating machinery. In addition, some people become dependent on alcohol.Keys1.Because men who drank moderate amounts of alcohol were about 30 percent lesslikely to have a heart attack than non-drinkers.2.They did the research based on the following factors: the men's ages, use oftobacco, physical activity and whether their parents had heart disease.3.Too much alcohol is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, and can causeliver problems.4.They prefer medicines, not alchohol.5.Forty-thousand.Unit 5ScriptsAsthma is a disease in which small air passages in the lungs become temporarily blocked. This causes difficulty in breathing. The disease affects an estimated 17 million Americans and it is the most common disease among children.Day care centers are places where babies and children are cared for while their parents are at work. Researchers studied babies of different ages in day care centers. They found that babies placed in day care before aged 6 months gained the greatest protection against developing asthma in later life. They were only about half as likely to have asthma at age 13 as babies who did not attend day care until later.Babies who entered day care after the age of 6 months received some protection from asthma. But they did not gain as much protection as the younger babies. Children who entered day care after the age of one showed no increased protection against the disease. The study also found that children with two or more older brothers or sisters at home also had a lower risk for asthma. Scientists believe early experiences with bacteria and viruses may help develop a baby's defense system against disease.Asthma cases have increased more than 100 percent in recent years. Experts say families with few children could result in the weakening of a child's defense against disease, and homes cleaned with products that fight bacteria could create the same problem.The asthma study provides evidence for the idea that keeping a baby in an environmentalmost free of germs may cause problems later in life.Keys1. They have trouble breathing.2. Thirteen years old.3. Those who come to the center before the age of 6 months.4. Those who grow up with other children.5. A germ-free environment is not good to the growth of the children.Unit 6ScriptsSalad consumption is an all time high with nearly three out of every four Americ ans making salad a regular part of their meals. But a new report from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that food poisoning from le afy greens are also on the rise. Doctors analyzed national data on food-borne illne sses reported between 1973 and 2006. Both two outbreaks were caused by conta mination with an oral virus, the bug that triggers stomach flu. But some will do to E. Coli and Salmonella bacteria. Reserachers discovered that America’s new affinity for salads could not explain the increase in illnesses. From 1996 to 2005 leafy gre en consumption rose by 9%, but food poisonings from salad greens increased by 3 9%. Experts say that more study is needed to determine the reasons for this rise but the contamination at farms and major processing plants are usually behind wid espread outbreaks. People can reduce their risk of a whole food poisoning by thor oughly washing all greens before eating them.Keys1. Three out of four.2. Food poisoning from leafy greens.3. Contamination with an oral virus.4. 9%.5. By thoroughly washing all greens before eating them.Unit 7ScriptsThe stats and studies have made official a story you may already know about through a loved one because of what Americans take in these days: more and more of our kidsare turning up with kidney stones. Our report on this new and unwelcome medical development tonight from our chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman.Amanda Snyder is an active athletic 9-year-old. But two years ago, she was rushed to the hospital.“She was moaning, crying, calling mummy and vomiting.”An ultra-sound showed Amanda had developed a kidney stone.“The stone went up to one centimeter.”Kidney stones were once thought to be primarily a middle-aged problem. Dr. Pecker Sally at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia believes it’s now a growing trend among children.“About firve years ago, we used to see maybe 10 patients a year. Now we are seeing about 5 patients a week.”He says family history can be a risk factor. But something else has to account for the sudden rise. This problem isn’t confined to children who are overweight or have other health issues.“The typical kid that comes in is a young girl between the age of eight to twelve who doesn’t like to drink a lot of water, is very active and lots of fast food. ”Fast food and sports drinks have lots of salt that constrain the kidneys and cause calcium deposits to form stones. Now pediatricians urge children to drink at least four tall glasses of water a day in addition to anything else.For Amenda the prescription is medication, more water and a changing diet.“I hate to give up like French fries and potato chips and pop corn. But if I would eat it, I would like to drink a lot of water.”Simple changes to focus not on treating kidney stones but preventing them.Keys1. More and more kids are turning up with kidney stones.2. She is an active athletic 9-year-old.3. She had developed a kidney stone.4. Family history can be a risk factor.5. Pediatricians urge children to drink at least four tall glasses of water a day in addition to anything else.Unit 8ScriptsDoctors recently found a way to treat children with non-genetically matched bone marrow transplants. They are now able to remove the cells that attack the child's body.These cells are called T-cells. They are dangerous only when fully developed. The doctors remove the T-cells by mixing healthy marrow with a substance from soybeans called lactim. They then pour the marrow mixture over a thick protein albumen in a glass test tube. The lactim acts as a magnet and pulls the developed T-cells to it. The lactim and the T-cells around it are so heavy that they sink to the bottom of the test tube. This leaves the marrow cells on top almost completely free of the dangerous T-cells. To remove even more of them, doctors mix the marrow with red blood cells from sheep. These blood cells capture any T-cells that remain. Doctors tested this procedure by injecting 7 sick children with the new marrow. All 7 developed healthy defense systems.Two thirds of all persons needing bone marrow transplants die, because no marrow with the right genes can be found for them.Doctors believe the new marrow treatment might save them. They also believe the treatment some day may help persons with deadly blood diseases, such as leukemia or sickle cell anemia.Keys1. The cells attacking the patient’s body.2. It’s a substance from soybeans.3. It acts as a magnet and pulls the developed T-cells to it.4. The y us e t he l a c t i m t o pull the developed T-cells around i t a nd u se the red blood cells from sheep to capture the remaining T-cells.5. Doctors believe that some day it will same people with deadly blood diseas es.Unit 9ScriptsDoctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you know how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger; they cannot or will not express it.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry the brain releases the same hormones that are produced during tense situations. They increase blood pressure, speed sugar into the blood, and narrow the blood vessels to the intestines. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out. Recently, however, some doctors expressed a differentview. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently became, in fact, more and not less angry, thus increasing the risk of medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger intensely may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide how you want to handle your angry feelings. Letting your anger cool enables you to express yourself calmly and reasonably, in a more healthy way.Keys1.Keeping one's anger inside.2. Some blood vessels become narrowed.3. It is dangerous to express anger repeatedly or repress one's anger.4. Treat the anger properly.5. The dangers of anger and its solution.Unit 10ScriptsAbout 100 million persons in the world suffer from the disease diabetes. Generally a diabetic is a person whose pancreas does not produce enough insulin, a hormone necessary for the body to use sugar and other carbohydrates. One kind of diabetes aatacks children. It is called juvenile diabetes. Doctors say it seems to destroy the cells in the pancreas that makes insulin. Fifteen percent of all persons who have diabetes are young people. They get juvenile diabetes usually when they are 11 or 12 years old. Children who get the disease usually do not live longer than 40 years. Scientists believe they may have discovered a way to prevent juvenile diabetes. The scientists did experiments with two groups of rats. One group of rats was a kind that never gets juvenile diabetes. The other rats were more likely to get the disease because of a genetic weakness. The scientists took blood from the rats that don’t get the disease and put it into the rats that are likely to get diabetes.The scientists found that a few such blood transfusions given to the rats when they were young prevented the development of the disease. The scientists are not sure why the blood transfusions prevent juvenile diabetes in rats. They think rats get the disease because they do not have enough of a certain kind of white blood cells. These cells called suppressor cells turn off the production of antibodies that damage the body’s tissue. The scientists believe that something in the new blood, perhaps extra suppressor cells, prevented the antibodies from attacking the cells that make insulin. They say more study is necessary before doctors can try this on humans.Keys2.100,000,000.2. Insulin is a hormone necesssary for the body to use sugar and other carbohydrates.3. When kids are 11 or 12 years old.4. Because they do not have enough of suppressor cells.5. They can turn off the production of the antibodies which attack the insulin-making cells.Unit 11ScriptsThe genes that help determine a person's individual characteristics—from the color of his eyes to the score he makes on an IQ test—are located on chromosomes within the cells of his body. Half of a person's chromosomes come from his father, half from his mother. Many diseases are the result of a single defective gene on one of the chromosomes. Achondroplastic dwarfism, for example, is caused by a dominant gene. Any child who inherits it will have the disease. Carriers of this dominant gene should be aware that their children have a 1 in 2 chance of receiving the gene, and, hence, the disease. More often, genetic diseases are caused by recessive genes. The most common is cystic fibrosis, a disorder that affects at least one in every 1,600 people and causes their lungs and other body organs to become congested with mucus. Some diseases, such as the blood clotting disorder, hemophilia, are sex-linked recessive defects carried on the female X chromosome.Many genetic defects, such as the hemophilia of European royalty, can be traced back through the family tree. And a genetic counselor can calculate probable risks for couples even before they have defective children. But faulty genes may also occur without warning by mutation in any generation.In recent years, researchers have detected a number of disorders caused by an extra chromosome, or lack of part of a chromosome. Mongolism, a form of retardation accompanied by short stature, is caused by a flattened chromosome. The parents of such a child have little increased risk of having another Mongoloid.There are blood, urine and other tests which show promise in detecting more than 100 genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and some forms of muscular dystrophy.Researchers are also detecting genetic defects even before a child is born. "Intra-uterine detection", notes Dr. Henry L.Nadler of Northwestern University Medical School, "brings a new dimension to genetic counseling. The physician may now inform the parents that they will have either an affected or a normal child."Keys1. Genes and Diseases.2. To illustrate how person may suffer from genetic disease.3. The blood clotting disorder and hemophilia.4. Some diseases are caused by an extra chromosome.5. Optimistic.Unit 12ScriptsScientists have developed a new test to learn if an unborn child has a blood disorder known as sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that affects about one million persons throughout the world．Most of its victims are black，but it is also found sometimes in families from Greece，Italy，and Saudi Arabia．The blood disorder causes problems with the body's red blood cells．Red blood cells contain molecules of hemoglobin which carry oxygen to all parts of the body．In normal bl ood the hemoglobin has an amino acid called glutamic acid. In sickle cell blood the gene for glutamic acid is replaced by the gene for valine，a different amino acid．Red blood cells normally are shaped like a flat circle，and they are soft．So they pass easily through the blood system．Valine changes the shape of the cell. It gives it a narrow curved shape that looks like the curved knife used by some people to cut grass．Its name comes from this tool called a sickle．Harvard and Yale Universities developed a way to find sickle cell anemia in a child before it is born. The process involved looking at the fetus in the mother's womb with a thin telescope-like device．Then blood or a piece of tissue was taken directly from the fetus within the mother's womb. This process was dangerous．One of every twenty fetuses examined this way did not survive．In l978, Dr. Tang began studying fetus cells that can be found in the protective amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus in the mother's womb．In a process called amniocentesis，a needle can take some amniotic fluid from the mother's womb without touching the fetus．Fetus cells in the fluid can show if the unborn child has sickle cell anemia．The new test takes much less time than the early one．It is a much safer way for parents to know if their child will be born with the disorder.Keys1.It is a genetic disease that causes problems with the body’s read blood cells.2.Black people.3.Molecules of hemoglobin in red blood cells do this.4.In order to find out whether a child had sickle cell anemia before birth.5.The new process is much safer and can tell whether the unborn child will getsickle cell anemia in less time.Unit 13ScriptsHealth experts at one time feared that birth control pills might lead to an increase in cancer among women. Instead, recent studies show that the pills may really help protect women from getting some cancers, especially cancers of the ovaries and uterus.The protection may last as long as 10 years after a woman stops using the pill. Studies also have linked birth control pills to a reduction in some other sicknesses including iron deficiency anemia, pelvic inflammation and possibly rheumatoid arthritis.It is believed that about 50 million women around the world use birth control pills. Another 150 million once did. Health officials say this common use of the pill has led to some health problems. For example, women who use the pill face 3 times the normal danger of dying from a heart attack. This danger is reduced sharply, however, if pill users do not smoke cigarettes.Other studies link the pill to small increases in the danger of high blood pressure and of gallstones. But researchers say there is no evidence of any connection between the pill and cancer. There was a great fear at one time that birth control pills would increase the danger of breast cancer, the most common cancer among women. But studies in the United States and Britain found no such increase even among women who had used the pill for many years. The pill does not protect against breast cancer. But many studies have shown that women who use the pill have fewer non-cancerous breast tumors.Keys1.The pills have led to some health problems such as heart attacks.2.Iron deficiency anemia, pelvic inflammation and possibly rheumatoid arthritis.3.200 million.4.Birth control pills do not increase breast cancer nor protect against breast cancer.5.Studies are inconclusive about the advantages and disadvantages of the birthcontrol pill.Unit 14ScriptsGenital herpes is a rapidly spreading disease that can be passed from one person to another during sexual relations. About 20 million Americans have it. And one half million new cases are reported each year.The herpes sores last 2 or 3 weeks and reappear from time to time. For men the disease generally is not serious. However, women with the virus face 4 times the normal danger of developing cervical cancer. And a pregnant woman can pass the virus to her baby. The virus can kill or seriously damage the newly born child.Scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle have started testing a vaccine that could prevent genital herpes. They tested the vaccine on 23 people. Though none suffered from genital herpes, 10 had cold sores, a less serious kind of herpes infection. After receiving the vaccine, 22 of the 23 developed a strong antibody response to the genital herpes virus. The ones who had cold sores developed the strongest response. One of the scientists, Gregory Murz, said that there were some side effects, but that they were minor. The University of Washington researchers now plan a much larger study involving about 500 persons.Keys1. It can be rapidly spread by sexual relations and also can passed to the unbornchild by his mother.2. 27.5 million.3. 0.4. The vaccine can develop strong antibodies against the genital herpes virus but minor side effects exist.5. The genital herpes virus a pregnant woman passes on will kill the unborn baby orcause him to be killed after birth.Unit 15ScriptsPeople are now living longer than ever before because of medical discoveries and improvements in health care. For example, a person born in the United States 80 years ago could expect to live only 47 years. Now, however, life expectancy in the United States is 74 years. As people live longer doctors are wondering if there are any limits to aging. Can people live beyond 100 years if cures for such diseases as cancer are found? Some doctors say NO. They say other medical problems would develop that would。
