Listening Activity1) First Listening Answers1. By visiting a cyber café?2. No two cyber café are alike.2) Second Listening Answers1. To enjoy Internet café.2. Entering an Internet café is like taking a wee bite of a Big Mac to her.3. At Krakatit, you can surf the Web with a spaceship and talk to dragons and robots.4. Cyber café will soon be replaced by mobile phones with high-speed Internet access.ScriptKept within a few clicks of hearth and homeIn Rome, you can read your email while your dirty clothes wash, soak and dry in machines beside you. In Helsinki, you can surf the Web while still sweating from a simmer in a nearby sauna. Some people travel to sample the finest of foreign cuisines. Some seek sublime art to appreciate orsacred architecture to celebrate. Me, I‟ve come to think of myself as an inte rnational connoisseur of Internet café.In my past five months overseas, I‟ve surfed the information superhighway in Swaziland, driven the data expressway in Estonia and cruised the communication causeway in Croatia. And I can say this: Gone are the days when postcards were the preferred method of making those at home envious of your adventures abroad. Set foot on the road to faraway places and you‟ll soon find that cyber café are an inescapable part of the contemporary travel experience.Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro, Mass. I found this 23-year-old parked in front of a flat-screen monitor at Big Net café--the biggest Internet caféin Vienna 行exchanging love notes with her boyfriend back home. Michelle has been on vacation 10 days and has emailed him every one of them. Think of myself: My (much) better half is traveling with me and still of the 35 cities we‟ve visited thus far, I‟ve used cyber café in precisely 71.4 percent of them.When I left the US, I vowed I wouldn‟t eat at a single McDonald‟s no matter how cheap and soothingly familiar the food might be. I‟ve stayed true to that promise. But I admit when I slip into an Internet café I feel just a wee bit like I‟m taking a bite of a Big Mac.I comfort myself, however, with the discovery that no two cyber café are alike. It‟s hard to know where to begin in Prague, a city suffering a particularly virulent strain of cyber café-itis. At The Globe you can surf the Net while listening to a jazz trio. At Bohemian Bagel you can order up the namesake roll and a cup of joe along with a side of cyber crack. And at Krakatit, a “science fiction ” café you can surf the Web surrounded by pictures of dragons and spaceships and robots, oh my.Some people predict that cyber café, like postcards, will soon find themselves a relic as mobile phones with high-speed Internet access replace them as the new traveler‟s darling. That means no matter where we are we‟ll always have the World Wide Web in our pocket. And no matter where we are, we‟ll never be more than a but ton press (or two) from the comforts of home.Real World Listening1. Predict AnswerHe is an exchange student living with a host family.2. Get the Main Ideas Answers1. Japan2. it‟s the first time he came to the United States3. they wanted to broaden their children‟s horizons4. science and historyScript and Answers to Self-studyOpen to everythingAnchor: Believe it or not, we are seeing many foreign students in our town. We‟re interested in their life and study here. Today we‟ve invited the administrative specialist for foreign exchange Jeff Hein, a host mother Teri Benedetti, and an exchange student Aki to join our talk. Mr. Hein, why do so many foreign students come to our town?Jeff Hein:: They arrive here through programs operated by nonprofit placement services. Most of them are here because they know someone here and are able to live with them. Or, their parents have done work here and had met someone, and the young people live with those families. It‟s especially true for our high schools.Anchor: Where are they from? Jeff Hein:: They‟re from Australia, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.Anchor: Aki, where are you from and how did you come here?Aki: I‟m from Korea. I‟ve visited the United States on vacation twice before. I w ant to do something else after 10 years of schooling back home. I learned about World Heritage at my school in Korea and I applied and this program arranged my stay here. Anchor: Mrs. Benedetti, how did you come upon the idea of hosting a foreign student?Teri Benedetti: My husband and I applied to host an exchange student partly to broaden our children‟s horizons. It‟s good for our children to know the United States is not the only country in the world, and that everyone has the same feelings inside, but we live in different cultures. Anchor: How did your children feel about living with a foreign student?Teri Benedetti: They were really very excited about having a new older brother. It offers them a great opportunity to be exposed to another lifestyle and another language.Anchor: Mr. Hein, what do the foreign students learn here in our schools?Jeff Hein:: They‟re held to the same academic standards as any other student here. They‟re required to be proficient in English and take a course load that includes math, reading, English, science and history classes. But the credits they earn here don‟t necessarily transfer back to their home schools. As a result, the time exchange students spend here often amounts to a year off of their studies. So this year is basically language practice and learning American culture.Anchor: Are exchange students welcome in our schools?Jeff Hein:: Certainly. Learning is a two-way street. Our students learn as much from the international students as they learn from us. They all deal with many of the same things, even though they‟re from different cultures and different lands. Anchor: Aki, what do you particularly want to do here?Aki: Just to see the country and another culture. I‟m open to everything.Unit 3 You are what you wearV ocabulary TaskScript and Answers1.

I want to ask you some questions about Jim Wilson. Um, is he a, a formal kind of guy, or does he dress casually? B: Oh, he is a guy who is often dressed to kill. He always wears three-piece suits and ties 行dressed very much in style.5. A: Why are you looking like you?e on cloud nine, dear?B: Yes, I am. Guess what, I‟ve invited the professor and his wife to dinner. A: How wonderful. I‟m really happy for you.B: Thank you, dear. You‟d better put your glad rags on.Listening Task1) First Listening AnswersThat clothes often define the person means clothes can reveal personality, status and attitude to life.Clothing not only tells something about the wearer but also affects the way others think of the person.Clothing may often betray what is within.2) Second Listening Answers1. An opportunity for individuality/ independence vanishes.2. No.3. Through the clothing he or she wears.4. Clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.5. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them.ScriptClothes make the man“Clothes make the man? runs the old proverb. If you believe that, you might feel that clothing enhances a ppearance, increases independence, allows for function, and provides comfort. What‟s more, clothing that is neat and clean, fits well, and feels good can boost anyone‟s morale.People express their personality in many ways, including through their clothing, hair style, and accessories. That‟s why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personality, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure.Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to “make an impression” through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about clothing can increase older people‟s sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people don‟t care abou t their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashion reflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them. Sending positiveappearance messages may increase older people‟s opportunities for social interaction.Real World Listening1. Predict AnswerThe outfits she should take along for her trip.1.

I‟m always pleased to help.Sue: I have an international conference to attend in Norway, and I‟m going to stay there for two weeks. But I have no clothes for that cold climate. I know you‟ve been to Northern Europe, so I need your suggestions about the (1) outfits I should take along.Ann: OK. You‟ve found the right person. Let‟s see. You‟ll be gone for two weeks, so you‟ll need (2) several changes of business suits. No doubt, there‟ll be a few parties and (3) social gatherings while y ou?e there, so you‟ll need some evening dresses for those special occasions. Am I right? Sue: Yes, I‟m sure you are. But what should I wear for those rather (4) elegant banquets and dances during the conference?Ann: No problem. I‟ll help (5) outfit you completely before you go. Let‟s start with your business suits and dresses. You‟ll want them warm, of course, but you won‟t want them to be too much trouble to care for, so (6) all wool is out.Sue: I guess I‟d better (7) stick to conservative colors and patterns, and I‟d like to (8) coordinate some skirts and blouses so that I can wear the same outfit in several different ways.Ann: That‟s exactly what I had in mind. I think a (9) smartly tailored navy blue suit would suit you. It has a (10) casual look, yet it can be worn with a matching white blouse or light blue blouse to give it a more professional look. You can wear it to any of your meetings, with or without the blouse.Sue: If I add a few (11) cardigans and a scarf to go with it, I can wear it on different occasions. How about something in blue?Ann: What do you think of a (12) synthetic blend dress? It‟s warm, yet quite lightweight. It‟s especially convenient for travel. And the best thing is that you can wash it right in your hotel room, hang it up, and it will dry (13) wrinkle-free overnight.Sue: I think I‟ll also get one or two designer gowns. I won‟t look out of place in them there, will I? Ann: No, you won‟t. Though you don‟t want to (14) draw undue attention, you‟ll want to look (15) professional and festive at the same time. A couple of lively colored dresses will give you a nice change from time to time.Sue: Right. I can‟t believe I‟m doing this.

Since they change clothes each day, such clothes are easy to wash and iron.3. A: I just don‟t get it. Every time I ask my students questions they remain silent.B: Don‟t be frustrated. Here modesty is more important than speaking out. Students are afraid that they might appear arrogant if they are the first to answer a question. A: Equally puzzling to me is that here I haven‟t come across any challenges in my class. B: Well, if students disagree with a professor it is regarded as a lack of respect.4. A: I was supposed to meet m y supervisor but he wasn‟t in the office. That‟s odd.B: Let me see. Did you go there on time? A: No, but I was only five minutes late.B: There you go. Here punctuality seems to take priority over any other matter. I you arrive late, the appointment may be cancelled and the person may be unable to see you.5. A: It looks as if you are in a flurry. What are you preparing for?B: You know, people here have been so kind to me. So I invited these new friends to dinner here. But it really beats me what to m ake. A: I see.

This is the kind of questions that plague me these days---days in which a trip to the ladies‟ room has a good chance of leaving me standing before t wo doors, utterly baffled as to which one I‟m expected to walk through.My husband, Richie and I are in the midst of a trip around the world. The journey has taken us to 14 countries thus far, and in only one did we speaker the language, that was England. We left home in December believing wholeheartedly that one of the great joys of traveling would be encountering people who speak in exotic dialects. I have to admit, however, the constant language barrier has been, at times, acutely frustrating.Trying to determine which toilet is the women‟s versus the men‟s in each new country has been just the tip of a much larger and more befuddling iceberg. On a typical day, I understand the people around me as much as the average mutt understands his owner. If I‟m lu cky, I compensate for my ignorance by smiling and wagging my tail a lat.With time, however, Richie and I have come to enjoy the ongoing challenge our lack of linguistic endowments provides. It helps that we now think of our lives as a 24-hour game of charades. In this version of the game, there‟s only one required skill: an absolute willingness to make a complete ass of ourselves in front of total strangers.For instance, in trying to explain to a street vendor in Prague that I wanted a chicken sandwich. I was, at long last, able to achieve understanding but only I shoved my armpits, flapped my elbows wildly and declared loudly and for everyone to hear: “bawk bawk bawk!”On the downside, this method of physical communication leads to comprehension only about 50 percent of the time. In Hungary, while trying to determine if a dish was made of fish, I looked the waiter square in the eye, sucked in my checks and flapped my pursed lips at him. He stared at me then with a mix of incomprehension and search of a train station, I approached a large Czech security guard and queried, “choo-choo, choo-choo”I can‟t blame him for his blank incredulity. When has a train ever made anything approaching the sound “choo-choo”?Real World Listening1. Predict AnswerNora, the interviewee, was a Jewish American.

That’s why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personality, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure.Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to “make an impression” through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about clothing can increase older people’s sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people don’t care about their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashionreflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them. Sending positive appearance messages may increase older people’s opportunities for social interaction.Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer□ The outfits she should take along for her trip.1.

I’m always pleased to help.Sue: I have an international conference to attend in Norway, and I’m going to stay there for two weeks. But I have no clothes for that cold climate. I know you’ve been to Northern Europe, so I need your suggestions about the (1) outfits I should take along. Ann: OK. You’ve found the right person. Let’s see. You’ll be go ne for two weeks, so you’ll need(2) several changes of business suits. No doubt, there’ll be a few parties and (3) social gatherings while you?e there, so you’ll need some evening dresses for those special occasions. Am I right? Sue: Yes, I’m sure you are. But what should I wear for those rather (4) elegant banquets and dances during the conference?Ann: No problem. I’ll help (5) outfit you completely before you go.

And the best thing is that you can wash it right in your hotel room, hang it up, and it will dry (13) wrinkle-free overnight. Sue: I think I’ll also get one or two designer gowns. I won’t look out of place in them there, will I? Ann: No, you won’t. Though you don’t want to (14) draw undue attention, you’ll want to look (15) professional and festive at the same time. A couple of lively colored dresses will give you a nice change from time to time.Su e: Right. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I’m going to buy several new outfits and double my wardrobe -- all for a two-week trip!Unit 4 An outsider looking inVocabulary TaskScript and Answers1.

ScriptTravel becomes a game of chanceAm I a zeny or a muzi? This is the kind of questions that plague me these days---days in which a trip to the ladies’ room has a good chance of leaving me standing before two doors, utterly baffled as to which one I’m expected to walk through.My husband, Richie and I are in the midst of a trip around the world. The journey has taken us to 14 countries thus far, and in only one did we speaker the language, that was England. We left home in December believing wholeheartedly that one of the great joys of traveling would be encountering people who speak in exotic dialects. I have to admit, however, the constant language barrier has been, at times, acutely frustrating.Trying to determine which toilet is the women’s versus the men’s in each new country has been just the tip of a much larger and more befuddling iceberg. On a typical day, I understand the people around me as much as the average mutt understands his owner. If I’m lucky, I compensate for my ignorance by smiling and wagging my tail a lat.With time, however, Richie and I have come to enjoy the ongoing challenge our lack of linguistic endowments provides. It helps that we now think of our lives as a 24-hour game of charades. In this version of the game, there’s only one required skill: an absolute willingness to make a complete ass of ourselves in front of total strangers.For instance, in trying to explain to a street vendor in Prague that I wanted a chicken sandwich. I was, at long last, able to achieve understanding but only I shoved my armpits, flapped my elbows wildly and declared loudly and for everyone to hear: “bawk bawk bawk!”On the downside, this method of physical communication leads to comprehension only about 50 percent of the time. In Hungary, while trying to determine if a dish was made of fish, I looked the waiter square in the eye, sucked in my checks and flapped my pursed lips at him. He stared at me then with a mix of incomprehension and search of a train station, I approached a large Czech security guard and queried, “choo-choo, choo-choo”I can’t blame him for his blank incredulity. When has a trai n ever made anything approaching the sound “choo-choo”?Real World Listening1. PredictAnswerNora, the interviewee, was a Jewish American.

What‟s kept you rushing around?B: I‟m shaping up for another storm chasing. This is the best season of storms. I can‟t miss it.Listening TaskScriptFreak weather incidentsIf your weather forecaster said it would rain frogs you might think they had gone mad. But rains of fish or frogs or other animals have been reported for centuries. On August 8, 2000 (1) a shower of dead but still fresh sprats rained down on the fishing port of Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, England, (2) after a thunderstorm. The fish shower would have been caused by a small tornado out to sea, which (3) trawls up water and any fish near the surface. When the tornado touches the land it begins to lose energy and (4) its contents are thrown to the ground.(5) In June 1997 it rained toads in the town of Villa Angel Flores in Mexico. A small tornado whirled up (6) a cluster of toads from a local body of water Saturday night and dropped them over the town. Motorists reported them dropping from the sky around 11 p.m. In March 1998, it rained frogs in Croydon, England. A woman reported the sudden appearance of hundreds of dead frogs in her and her neighbors' gardens when there was no known pond or lake (7) in the immediate vicinity.Over the years all sorts of animals and plants have showered down during thunderstorms, possibly (8) sucked up from rivers and lakes by tornadoes into thunderclouds and then dumped miles away in heavy rain. Tornadoes pick up anything they find in their path but some scientists think that many animals of the same type or size may fall during a storm because as the wind travels, (9) heavier items will fall first. Then when the smaller items drop from the tornado, things that (10) tend to weigh the same will drop together.Dozens of dead birds have occasionally been (11) seen plummeting out of the sky, sometimes partly frozen. These poor animals were probably swept up high in the powerful updrafts of a thundercloud, then frozen like hailstones before (12) gravity took over. Even stranger is a severe hailstorm in Vicksburg, USA where a gopher turtle entirely encased in ice, fell with the hail.Other objects can rain out of the sky. In July 4, 1995 people in Keokuk, Iowa found soft drink cans that a tornado had lifted from the Double Cola Bottling Plant in Moberly and dropped about 150 miles north. Perhaps most bizarre are the “rains of blood” which have been reported all over the world (13) ever since biblical times. An important clue to their cause came in July 1968 in southern England, when a shower coated everything (14) in red gritty dust. It was fine sand blown up from the Sahara and carried over a thousand miles inside (15) a massive high pressure system before falling in a rain shower. In some dry areas, “dust devils”(dust storms) are very common with d ebris falling out of the sky.Real World ListeningScriptBeing a meteorologistQ: Ilona, what made you want to become a meteorologist? When did you know?A: I knew I wanted to become a meteorologist after seeing my first tornado. I was working at a radio station one afternoon when I saw a tornado heading right for me. Luckily, the tornado missed the radio station, but seeing it up close made me want to learn more about weather.Q: What weather person influenced you most and why?A: When I was in 6th grade, one of the local weathercasters, Ward Allen, came to visit my school. I still have the signed picture he gave me! It's framed and hanging on the wall at my house.Q: What do you like best about doing the weather?A: What I like most about forecasting weather in Central Texas is that we can see so many different types of weather ... tornadoes, flooding, and even ice & snow! It keeps things very exciting in our weather office.Q: What is your favorite weather event?A: My favorite kind of weather is weather that changes all of the time! I like it to be sunny one day, cloudy the next, then hot, then cold, then rainy, then dry!Q: What do you like to do on a rainy day?A: I like to sit on the porch and just listen to the sound of the rain falling through the trees and splashing on the ground. When the weather turns stormy, it's my job to make sure everyone knows what to expect and how to stay safe.Q: What do you like to do on a sunny day?A: I enjoy being outdoors bike riding or swimming at the pool or lake.Q: Have you ever been involved in a scary weather event? What did you do?A: I will never forget the night my mom, my grandmother, and I flew back from Europe. We were on our way home to Phoenix and there was a really bad storm over the Airport. The pilot had no choice but find the safest part to fly through and land. The whole plane was rocking side to side and was completely lit up by the lightning. I was holding on to the seat so tightly. My knuckles were white!Q: It seems meteorologists dress depending on the weather. Do you wear certain colors, outfits, depending on what kind of day it is going to be?A: You bet ... the less black during the spring and summer the better. Not only is it too hot, but mosquitoes also are attracted to darker clothes.Q: Do you have any superstitious items you wear on the air?A: No, but I always do a little dance before I start. Sometimes it helps me relax if I'm nervous.Unit 13 Hold on or give upV ocabulary TaskScript and Answers1. A: My Mom just signed up my little sister for the city basketball league. Now she thinks she is really hot.B: How old is she?A: She‟s only ten, but she really has the hops.B: My little brother has played in that league for two years and made the grade.

Listening Activity1) First ListeningAnswers□He was not strong enough to handle the physical play around the net.□His first games in the NBA were less than impressive because he left the floor early for foul trouble.□He would never score more than 20 points in a single game.2) Second ListeningAnswers1. Yao Ming said, “This is the most pressure I‟ve ever faced in my life, but it‟s something I have to deal with.”2. Yes, he made it.3. He scored 20 points in a game against last year‟s world champion LA Lakers, and 30 points against the Dallas Mavericks.ScriptYao Ming makes the gradeWith the first overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets selected Chinese center Yao Ming. He becomes the first-ever number one pick to come from an international basketball league.Even before he was chosen as the NBA‟s number one draft pick by the Houston Rockets, Yao Ming faced intense media pressure and many critics. Many doubted whether the Chinese superstar would be able to make it in the NBA. Some thought he was not strong enough to handle the physical play around the net. Former NBA all-star Charles Barkley said that he would kiss a TV announcer‟s behind if Yao ever scored more than 20 points in a single game.“This is the most pressure I‟ve ever faced in my life, but it‟s something I have to deal with,” said Yao.Before coming to the NBA, the 2.26 meter-tall and 134 kg center was the dominant player in the Chinese Basketball Association. As a 17-year-old rookie, he averaged 10.0 points and 8.3 rebounds during the 1997-1998 season. Yao has played against elite international talent since being named to the Chinese National Team at age 18. At the 2001 Asian Basketball Championship for men, Yao averaged 13.4 points on 724 shots with 10.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots, helping the Chinese national team win the title, and was voted to the All-star team at the 2002 World Championship.For a man his size, Yao is surprisingly agile. He is also an excellent shooter and passes well. But his first games in the NBA were less than impressive, with Yao leaving the floor early because of foul trouble.But after he scored 20 points in a game against last year‟s world champion LA Lakers, then 30 points against the Dallas Mavericks, his critics were silenced and Barkley was forced to kiss a donkey on TV. With performances like these, it seems like Yao Ming is just starting to feel comfortable in the NBA.Among the first overall selection in NBA history, Yao stands as the tallest and second-heaviest players ever. Upon entering the NBA, Yao will become the third Chinese player in NBA history, following fellow Chinese National Team members Wang Zhizhi and Mengke Bateer.Real World Listening1.

When describing their dream homestay, they talk about their homestay “mums” attending to their needs because they pay good money to be looked after. They also expect their homestay family to be pleasant and happy all the time so they need never feel unhappy and lonely.2. A homestay is not like staying in a hotel or hostel, where service workers are paid to be courteous and cheerful in order to make guests feel at home. Although students pay for their board and lodging, it is wrong to expect the homestay family to serve guests the same way hostels and hotels do. Homestay hosts provide this service for social or cultural reasons rather than to make money.2) Second ListeningAnswers1. In a homestay family, an international student is a member of the family, not a customer who is "king” or always right. You can‟t order room service or throw wet towels and dirty clothes around.2.

You can‟t always expect your homestay family to be on their best behavior all the time.4. One last piece of advice: Don‟t talk negatively about your homestay fa mily to your college mates or friends.ScriptJust as at your own homeThe concept of a homestay experience has become popular recently, especially among international students and working people researching into the practices of host countries.However, some students are not very realistic in their expectations of homestay experiences. When describing their dream homestay, they talk about their homestay “mums” attending to their needs because they pay good money to be looked after. They also expect their homestay family to be pleasant and happy all the time so they need never feel unhappy and lonely.A homestay is not like staying in a hotel or hostel, where service workers are paid to be courteous and cheerful in order to make guests feel at home. Although students pay for their board and lodging, it is wrong to expect the homestay family to serve guests the same way hostels and hotels do. Homestay hosts provide this service for social or cultural reasons rather than to make money.In a homestay family, an international student is a member of the family, not a customer who is “king” or always right. You can‟t order room service or throw wet towels and dirty clothes around. If you are a homestay student, you are expected to follow house rules, which might include taking care of your own room as well as tidying up after yourself inthe kitchen, bathroom or other rooms you might use.As a homestay guest, you need to be independent and to develop your own interests rather than depend on your hosts to keep you happy and entertained. Your hosts have their own jobs and responsibilities and you must learn to be independent. You need to develop your own friends in the college or through social clubs. Burying yourself totally in books, with no time for a social life, is emotionally and mentally unhealthy and will make you homesick as well.You can‟t always expect your homestay family to be on their best behavior all the time. Just as in your own home, there might be misunderstandings, squabbles and stress. Homestay famil ies might quarrel over money, children‟s performance, too much work time and too little family time -- things your own family probably quarrels about. Problems might arise because of you. Perhaps you are doing something that annoys the family. But bear in mind that even if you are a perfect guest, your presence as a stranger in an intimate family setting is bound to cause some tensions. If it is something you can correct, do so and apologize. Know when your homestay dad and mum want some privacy to themselves and give them the space and time.One last piece of advice: Don‟t talk negatively about your homestay family to your college mates or friends. Negative talk puts you in a negative mood and implies that you do not value people. People are never perfect and need to be respected regardless of their shortcomings.Real World Listening1.

Never give up hope even when the odds are overwhelmingly against you because no one has the wisdom to know howa patient will respond.Script and Answers to Self-studyAgainst all oddsOne day when I was working in a hospital in Illinois, we had a baby born to (1) an RH negative mother. At that time, it was believed that if a mother with the RH negative blood factor delivered a dead first baby, it was considered (2) a 100% certainty that the second baby would also die. This was the mother‟s second baby and the first one had died. Death was expected soon. This was a case where such babies (3) were set aside to die. And so had this one.The doctor had not ordered a feeding tube inserted so I asked for permission to (4) feed the baby by dropper because it was too weak to suck. He said that he didn‟t think it would be of any value, but that I could if I wanted to. I and the rest of the staff worked very hard day and night to (5) get some nourishment in the baby. The baby survived! Day after day the baby continued to survive. Then I started asking the doctor to let us transfer the baby to a larger hospital in Rockford, Illinois. That hospital had more (6) equipment and pediatricians. Finally, the doctor consented and we prepared to transfer the baby to Rockford.When a transfer was being made from our hospital to the Rockford Hospital, the patient was always (7) accompanied by a nurse. Since I was so involved with the baby, I was asked to be its nurse (8) on this transfer.This would be my first trip (9) in an ambulance. The other nurses had told me many stories about the ambulance rides. They described it as a wild, wil d ride. I was not looking forward to the trip, but since I knew the baby‟s condition well, I knew I was the best choice. So, I went. The siren (10) started wailing as soon as we left the hospital's driveway. On and on the cars in our path quickly (11) pulled over to the side. This ride was so dangerous that I started worrying about my own survival as much as the baby's. I (12) broke out in a sweat. It was only after we arrived at the Rockford Hospital that the driver discovered that he had (13) left the heat on! I could have done without that.The baby was settled in at the hospital, and each day our reports were that the baby continued to thrive. Some time later we received word that the baby was dismissed from the hospital. And the mother (14) took home a live baby!I consider this case one of the highlights of my nursing career. I learned one very important thing: Never give up hope even when (15) the odds are overwhelmingly against you because no one has the wisdom to know how a patient will respond.Real World Listening1.

Sodeclared a British newspaper headline in 2007 after a talk I gave at an academic conference. One disbelieving reader responded: " This man sounds brain-dead. "B) That was a typical reaction to work I was reporting at the time on teenage sleeppatterns and their effect on performance at school. Six years on there is growing acceptance that the structure of the academic day needs to take account of adolescent sleep patterns. The latest school to adopt a later start time is the UCL Academy in London; others are considering following suit.C) So what are the facts about teenage sleep, and how should society adjust to theseneeds? The biology of human sleep timing, like that of other mammals, changes as we age. This has been shown in many studies. As adolescence begins, bedtimes and waking times get later. This trend continues until 19.5 years in women and 21 in men. Then it reverses. At 55 we wake at about the time we woke prior to adolescence. On average this is two hours earlier than adolescents. This means that for a teenager, a 7 a.m. alarm call is the equivalent of a 5 a.m. start for a person in their 50s.D) Precisely why this is so is unclear but the shifts related with changes in hormones(荷尔蒙) at adolescence and the decline in those hormones as we age. However, biology is only part of the problem. Additional factors include a more relaxed attitude to bedtimes by parents, a general disregard for the importance of sleep, and access to TVs, DVDs, PCs, gaming devices, cell phones and so on, all of which promote alertness and eat into time available for sleep.E) The amount of sleep teenagers get varies between countries, geographic region andsocial class, but all studies show they are going to bed later and not getting as much sleep as they need because of early school starts.F) Mary Carskadon at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, who is apioneer in the area of adolescent sleep, has shown that teenagers need about 9 hours a night to maintain full alertness and academic performance. My own recent observations at a UK school in Liverpool suggested many were getting just 5 hours on a school night. Unsurprisingly, teachers reported students dozing in class.G) Evidence that sleep is important is overwhelming. Elegant research hasdemonstrated its critical role in memory improvement and our ability to generate wise solutions to complex problems. Sleep disruption may increase the level of the stress. Excited behaviors, lack of empathy, sense of humor and mood are similarly affected. All in all, a tired adolescent is a moody, insensitive, angry and stressed one. Perhaps less obviously, sleep loss is associated with metabolic (新陈代谢的)changes. Long-term lack of sleep might be an important factor for negative conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), overweight and high blood pressure.H) Adolescents are increasingly using stimulants to compensate for sleep loss, andcaffeinated (含咖啡咽的)and/or sugary drinks are the usual choice. So a caffeinated drink late in the day delays sleep at night. Tiredness also increases the likelihood of taking up smoking.I) In the US, the observation that teenagers have biologically delayed sleep patternscompared to adults prompted several schools to put back the start of the school day. An analysis of the impact by Kyla Wahlstrom at the University of Minnesota found that academic performance was enhanced, as was attendance. Sleeping in class declined, as did self-reported depression. In the UK, Monkseaton High School near Newcastle instituted a 10 am start in 2009 and saw a progress in academic performance.J) However, a later start by itself is not enough. Society in general, and teenagers in particular, must start to take sleep seriously. Sleep is not a luxury but a fundamental biological need, enhancing creativity, productivity, mood and the ability to interact with others.K) If you are dependent upon an alarm clock, or parent, to get you out of bed ; if you take a long time to wake up; if you feel sleepy and impatient during the day; ff your behavior is overly impulsive, it means you are probably not getting enough sleep. Take control. Ensure the bedroom is a place that promotes sleep-dark and not too warm-don't text, use a computer or watch TV for at least half an hour before trying to sleep avoid bright lights. Try not to nap during the day, and seek out natural light in the morning to adjust the body clock and sleep patterns to an earlier time. Avoid caffeinated drinks after lunch.L) It is my strongly held View, based upon the evidence, that the efforts of dedicated (专注的，投入的) teachers and the money spent on school facilities will have a greater impact and education will be more rewarding when, collectively, teenagers, parents, teachers and school governors start to take sleep seriously. In the universal language of school reports: we must do better.11. In the US and UK, several schools that have delayed the start of the school daywitnessed a progress in academic performance.12. Nap is not favored as it may prohibit teens from adjusting the body clock to anearlier time.13. The hormones in human body decrease step by step as people get older.14. The author has found in his recent observations that teens need to sleep for longerhours on a school night.15. Education can be more rewarding when the students' sleep is taken seriously.16. A tiring "adolescent usually takes caffeinated drinks as a compensation for sleeploss.17. Geographic region together with social class and nationality may lead to sleepdifferences among teenagers.18. The general public didn't believe fire teens' sleep patterns illustrated by a braindoctor.19. Sleep loss not only will do harm to teenagers' mental and emotional state but alsopotentially threaten their physical fitness.20. The sleeping patterns of human and those of other mammals vary with age.11---15 IKDFL 16---20 HEAGCSection CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C), D). You should decide on the best choice andwrite the corresponding letter in the blank.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.With the unemployment rate topping 8% and the government $16 trillion in debt, it's easy to question why taxpayers are spending $ 2.5 billion on an SUV- sized Mars rover (探测车) named Curiosity, which landed successfully on the red planet in the early hours of Monday. Couldn't this money go toward something closer to home, such as providing shelter for the homeless or building roads? Yes, it could. But this kind of thinking is shortsighted.The Mars project is the latest manifestation of America's restless desire to answer previously unanswerable questions and take on new challenges. To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy, America does things like this not because they are easy, but because they are hard.Getting the probe down safely on Mars, after a 350 million mile journey, was certainly no easy feat. Virtually all the technology used in the approach and landing was new, or used in new ways. Once settled in, Curiosity should be a particularly awe-inspiring project. It is designed to shed light on big questions: Could life forms have ever existed on Mars? Might they still exist? And are we alone in the universe ?When budgets are tight, space projects such as Curiosity come in for particular abuse. They are often portrayed as complicated flights of odd ideas. They are not. They are both inspirational and immensely practical. Technology is, after all, an engine of economic growth. If that is a goal, as well it should be, why not support a program that makes science exciting and showcases some of the most interesting things that technology can do? One of the main benefits of projects like this one is to promote a confident America. Throughout history, nations that explore, and engage in science, lead the world. Beginning in the 15th century, for example, European nations sent sailors around the globe and provided the impetus for thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo and Newton to invent modern physics and astronomy. Not coincidentally, Europe came to dominate the world until the dawn of the 20th century.Those who would slash space program budgets apparently haven't learned history's lessons and don't see the great possibilities that the future presents--possibilities reflected in every image transmitted back from the rover.21. Why is it easy to question why taxpayers' money is spent on Curiosity?A) Because Curiosity costs too much money.B) Because the economic situation is depressed.C) Because the money should be spent on the people.D) Because Curiosity is meaningless and impractical.22. According to the first paragraph, the author believes that ________.A) people should view Curiosity in the long termB) Curiosity will generate more benefits than other thingsC) people should not focus too much on economic situationD) Curiosity is more important than economic development23. Although the probe on Mars is not easy, America still insists it because ________.A) new technology and new ways are found to solve the problemsB) the probe can shed light on many big questionsC) the nation's confidence can be strengthened through the probeD) the nation has a restless desire to take on new challenges24. Why does the author say space projects are practical?A) Because they make science exciting.B) Because they promote economic growth.C) Because they increase America's national power.D) Because they show what technology can bring.25. The author uses Europe from 15th century to 20th century as an example to suggest that_______ .A) nations which send sailors around the globe will be strongerB) nations which develop physics and astronomy will be strongerC) nations which support science exploration will be strongerD) nations which dominate the world will be strongerPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The argument that global warming is causing more extreme weather is problematic because it presumes the globe is warming. In fact, the global temperature trend line has been stable for more than a dozen years, while carbon dioxide has increased 7%. If carbon dioxide was the driver, then why have global temperatures stopped increasing?Keep in mind that carbon dioxide represents 0.0395% of the Earth's atmosphere. Arguing that carbon dioxide is driving the small temperature variations in our climate as opposed to the oceans, which cover70% of the planet and have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air, or the output of our sun, is scientifically disturbing.Weather is more publicized nowadays because of its impact on society and the constant push of the global warming agenda. Increases in population result in more people being in the path of Mother Nature's great anger. Global warming activists attribute every major weather event to man because they are either uninformed about history, or choose to ignore it. The latest claims resulting from this series of hot and dry summers ignore the fact that more state heat records were set in the 1930s than allother decades of the last century combined. Anyone remember the Dust Bowl?Seven major hurricanes hit the East Coast from 1954 to 1960. Now that we are in a pattern similar to the 1950s, the East Coast is vulnerable once again, and attributing events like Hurricane Irene to global warming is incorrect. All the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC. projections for our climate have proved to be wrong. Global temperatures have stopped increasing and are nowhere near estimates made a decade ago. The IPCC incorrectly predicted Arctic sea ice would disappear by now.After Katrina in 2005, more and stronger hurricanes were forecast to be the future. The Accumulated Cyclone(气旋)Energy Index for the globe has instead declined to the lowest level in 30 years. This does not mean we will not see warm weather and land-falling hurricanes. We are in a pattern similar to the 1950s when U.S. heat and drought as well as East Coast land-failing hurricanes were quite prevalent.Perhaps when the Atlantic becomes cold, we will be hearing Ice Age scares again as we did in the 1970s.26. According to the first, paragraph, _____________.A) there is less extreme weatherB) the global temperature is always stableC) the globe is not warmingD) carbon dioxide delays global warming27. Why is it wrong to argue that carbon dioxide drives global warming?A) Because the sun and the oceans produce much more heat.B) Because carbon dioxide generates very little heat.C) Because the air has a smaller heat capacity.D) Because there are many factors driving global temperature.28. The author suggests the global warming activists _________.A) pay more attention to historical recordsB) do not publicize weather too muchC) control increase in populationD) blame man for global warming29. Why is the East Coast vulnerable to hurricanes once again?A) Because it is in a pattern similar to the 1950s when hurricanes were prevalent.B) Because the IPCC makes projections that are inaccurate and unreliable.C) Because global warming is proved to be no longer a factor contributing to hurricanes.D) Because people have not protected the environment in the correct way.30. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A) People should not focus on climate change.B) People should not blame carbon dioxide any more.C) People should not overstate climate change.D) People should not worry about extreme weather.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30 minutes)Section ADirections: For each of the following incomplete sentence, there are four words or expressions marked A), B,) C) and D).

Entering an Internet café is like taking a wee bite of a Big Mac to her.3. At Krakatit, you can surf the Web with a spaceship and talk to dragons and robots.4. Cyber café will soon be replaced by mobile phones with high-speed Internet access. ScriptKept within a few clicks of hearth and homeIn Rome, you can read your email while your dirty clothes wash, soak and dry in machines beside you. In Helsinki, you can surf the Web while still sweating from a simmer in a nearby sauna. Some people travel to sample the finest of foreign cuisines. Some seek sublime art to appreciate or sacred architecture to celebrate. Me, I’ve come to think of myself as an international connoisseur of Internet café.In my past five months overseas, I’ve surfed the information superhighway in Swaziland, driven the data expressway in Estonia and cruised the communication causeway in Croatia. And I can say this: Gone are the days when postcards were the preferred method of making those at home envious of your adventures abroad. Set foot on the road to faraway places and you’ll soon find that cyber café are an inescapable part of the contemporary travel experience.Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro, Mass. I found this 23-year-old parked in front of a flat-screen monitor at Big Net café --the biggest Internet café in Vienna 行exchanging love notes with her boyfriend back home. Michelle has been on vacation 10 days and has emailed him every one of them. Think of myself: My (much) better half is traveling with me and still of the 35 cities we’ve visited thus far, I’ve used cyber café in precisely 71.4 percent of them.When I left the US, I vowed I wouldn’t eat at a single McDonald’s no matter how cheap and soothingly familiar the food might be. I’ve stayed true to that promise. But I admit when I slip into an Internet café I feel just a wee bit like I’m taking a bite of a Big Mac.I comfort myself, however, with the discovery that no two cyber café are alike. It’s hard to know where to begin in Prague, a city suffering a particularly virulent strain of cyber café-itis. At The Globe you can surf the Net while listening to a jazz trio. At Bohemian Bagel you can order up the namesake roll and a cup of joe along with a side of cyber crack.And at Krakatit, a “science fiction ” café you can surf the Web surrounded by pictures of dragons and spaceships and robots, oh my.Some people predict that cyber café, like postcards, will soon find themselves a relic as mobile phones with high-speed Internet access replace them as the new traveler’s darling. That means no matter where we are we’ll always have the World Wide Web in our pocket. And no matter where we are, we’ll never be more than a button press (or two) from the comforts of home.Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer□ He is an exchange student living with a host family.2.

Japan2. it’s the first time he came to the United States3. they wanted to broaden their children’s horizons4. science and historyScript and Answers to Self-studyOpen to everythingAnchor: Believe it or not, we are seeing many foreign students in our town. We’re interested in their life and study here. Today we’ve invited the administrative specialist for foreign exchange Jeff Hein, a host mother Teri Benedetti, and an exchange student Aki to join our talk. Mr. Hein, why do so many foreign students come to our town?Jeff Hein:: They arrive here through programs operated by nonprofit placement services. Most of them are here because they know someone here and are able to live with them. Or, their parents have done work here and had met someone, and the young people live with those families. It’s especially true for our high schools.Anchor: Where are they from?Jeff Hein:: They’re from Australia, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines. Anchor: Aki, where are you from and how did you come here?Aki: I’m from Korea. I’ve visited the United States on vacation twice before. I want to do something else after 10 years of schooling back home. I learned about World Heritage at my school in Korea and I applied and this program arranged my stay here.Anchor: Mrs. Benedetti, how did you come upon the idea of hosting a foreign student? Teri Benedetti: My husband and I applied to host an exchange student partly to broaden our children’s horizons. It’s good for our children to know the United States is not the only country in the world, and that everyone has the same feelings inside, but we live in different cultures.Anchor: How did your children feel about living with a foreign student?Teri Benedetti: They were really very excited about having a new older brother. It offers them a great opportunity to be exposed to another lifestyle and another language. Anchor: Mr. Hein, what do the foreign students learn here in our schools?Jeff Hein:: They’re held to the same academic standards as any other student here. They’re required to be proficient in English and take a course load that includes math, reading, English, science and history classes. But the credits they earn here don’t necessarily transfer back to their home schools. As a result, the time exchange students spend hereoften amounts to a year off of their studies. So this year is basically language practice and learning American culture.Anchor: Are exchange students welcome in our schools?Jeff Hein:: Certainly. Learning is a two-way street. Our students learn as much from the international students as they learn from us. They all deal with many of the same things, even though they’re from different cultures and different lands.Anchor: Aki, what do you particularly want to do here?Aki: Just to see the country and another culture. I’m open to everything.Unit 3 You are what you wearVocabulary TaskScript and Answers1. A: You look great recently.B: Thank you. I have finally worked out what style matches my body and personality.

An opportunity for individuality/ independence vanishes.2. No.3. Through the clothing he or she wears.4. Clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.5. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them.ScriptClothes make the man“Clothes make the man? runs the old proverb. If you believe that, you might feel that clothing enhances appearance, increases independence, allows for function, and provides comfort. What’s more, clothing that is neat and clean, fits well, and feels good can boost anyone’s morale.People express their personality in many ways, including through their clothing, hair style, and accessories. That’s why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personality, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure. Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to “make an impression” through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within. Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about clothing can increase older people’s sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people don’t care about their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashion reflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them.

This is the kind of questions that plague me these days---days in which a trip to the ladies’ room has a good chance of leaving me standing before two doors, utterly baffled as to which one I’m expected to walk through.My husband, Richie and I are in the midst of a trip around the world. The journey has taken us to 14 countries thus far, and in only one did we speaker the language, that was England. We left home in December believing wholeheartedly that one of the great joys of traveling would be encountering people who speak in exotic dialects. I have to admit, however, the constant language barrier has been, at times, acutely frustrating.Trying to determine which toilet is the women’s versus the men’s in each new country has been just the tip of a much larger and more befuddling iceberg. On a typical day, I understand the people around me as much as the average mutt understands his owner. If I’m lucky, I compensate for my ignorance by smiling and wagging my tail a lat.With time, however, Richie and I have come to enjoy the ongoing challenge our lack of linguistic endowments provides. It helps that we now think of our lives as a 24-hour game of charades. In this version of the game, there’s only one required skill: an absolute willingness to make a complete ass of ourselves in front of total strangers.For instance, in trying to explain to a street vendor in Prague that I wanted a chicken sandwich. I was, at long last, able to achieve understanding but only I shoved my armpits, flapped my elbows wildly and declared loudly and for everyone to hear: “bawk bawk bawk!”On the downside, this method of physical communication leads to comprehension only about50 percent of the time. In Hungary, while trying to determine if a dish was made of fish,I looked the waiter square in the eye, sucked in my checks and flapped my pursed lips at him. He stared at me then with a mix of incomprehension and search of a train station, I approached a large Czech security guard and queried, “choo-choo, choo-choo”I can’t blame him for his blank incredulity. When has a train ever made anything approaching the sound “choo-choo”?Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer。
