有二十分钟光景,多佛港站头上沸反盈天,这头轿车卡车势如潮涌,那厢海关差役恪尽职守,人人都忙着赶路去伦敦。
随后,突然间,一切归于沉寂,我漫步在睡意正浓、雾气迷蒙的昏暗街头,活像是置身于系列片《牛头犬德拉蒙德》。
将一个英国小镇独揽入怀,这滋味实在绝妙。
有一件事叫人发慌,那天晚上好像所有的饭店和招待所统统关了门。
我一路走到火车站,寻思着能赶上去伦敦的班车,可那车站也是黑灯瞎火、大门紧闭。
我正站在那里不晓得如何是好,却发现马路对面一家招待所楼上的窗户里闪着电视的灰光。
万岁,我想,好歹有人醒着,于是一边急忙穿过马路,一边打好腹稿,准备跟那个慈眉善目的老板客气一番,为自己的迟来而道歉,满以为会晤谈甚欢,甚至想好了下面的台词:“实在不敢劳您大驾在这个时候为我准备食物,但是如果不太麻烦的话,能否给我一份烤牛肉三明治、大份莳萝咸菜,一点土豆色拉,再加一瓶啤酒。
”通往招待所的人行道漆黑一片,我心里怀着一腔渴望,脚下却对英式门廊的路不大习惯,在一级楼梯上绊了一跤,脸直直地砸在门上,撞上半打空奶瓶,立时哐啷哐啷地响起来。
楼上的窗户几乎紧接着就打开了。
“谁啊?”有人尖着嗓子问道。
我后退一步,一边揉鼻子,一边抬眼凝视一个戴着发卷的侧影。
“你好,我想找间房,”我说。
“我们关门啦。
”“哦。
可是在哪儿吃晚餐呢?”“试试丘吉尔吧。
在前面。
”“在什么前面啊?”我刚发问,那扇窗就已经砰地一声关上了。
“丘吉尔”富丽堂皇、灯火通明,看起来热情好客。
透过一扇窗户,我能瞧见酒吧里有人西装笔挺,看上去温文尔雅,活像诺埃尔·考沃德戏里出现的人物。

When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh…Track 3-1-OL-7A. Look at the title of the listening passage. What do you think the speaker is going to talk about? Check your answer. Then listen to the passage to see if you were right.Going solo is the way to go!By D. ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family?Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many traveloptions. There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Track 3-1-OL-8B. Listen again. What topics does the speaker mention about solo travel? Unit 1, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsTravelDave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roornmate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. l had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life. This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was--there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving…I think…she was serving food…and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance…and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh…City LivingMexico----here we come!Sun-hee: This is going to be a great trip!

Then read these statements about Fredrick Law Olmsted and his projects. Write T for true or F for false. Creating spacesJin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in Califomia. She studies hard, "Of course, I came here for the academics, she says. " But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk around sometimes just to relax."Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. " I never get bored. The park is so big. I can always find a different path with a new view."Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "The footpaths allow you to get a wonderful view. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your face."What do these three places-- - - Stanford University, Central Park, and Niagara Falls State Park- - --all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been called the "father of landscape architecture."In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some community leaders became worried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Olmsted and his partner, Cavert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---- the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. In the late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. Members of the movement wanted to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. Despite opposition and pressures from business to industrialize the area. Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State Park, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Frederick Law Olmsted say to all this?Track 3-2-6C, Listen again.

Such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life's most stressful event. You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life's major stressors.We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.Tina Vega, 16Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town.

Then list the names of the five syndromes (medical conditions) mentioned.Surprising syndromes of modem lifeMargaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid."Today it's so easy to get information…and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly. "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible."Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness!We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having。

Unit 3 Life Is All About ChangeListeningAudio Track 3-3-1/ Audio Track 3-3-2Lee: Hi, Ellie.Ellie: Hi, Lee. How are you?Lee: Good. Hey there, Brandon. He’s so cute. And you’re such a good mother.Ellie: Thanks. Everyone says, “It’s not always easy with your first child.” You know, I agree with them!Lee: How old is he now?Ellie: He just turned two a month ago.Lee: Oh, no. … “The terrible twos.” Right?Ellie: Yep. It’s so exhausting … for both of us!Lee: Does he throw things around? And cry a lot more?Ellie: Yes, exactly. Sometimes he hits me. I don’t know. He was so well-behaved before.Lee: It happens to most babies. They turn two and their personality changes.Ellie: It sounds like you have some experience with “the terrible twos.”Lee: I certainly do. My children are five and eleven now. But I still remember when they were young.Ellie: What can I do?Lee: Well, remember that it will pass. … It won’t last forever. Try to be patient.Audio Track 3-3-3/ Audio Track 3-3-4Mandy: My homework assignment is too hard.Mom: What is it?Mandy: I’m doing an oral report on an accomplished woman. I chose Sadako Ogata. I have to present it to the class tomorrow.Mom: Do you know the material?Mandy: I think so.Mom: OK, let’s practice. I’ll ask you some question s.Mandy: OK.Mom: All right then, just why is Sadako Ogata well known?Mandy: She worked for the United Nations as the High Commissioner on Refugees. She worked in that job for ten years and supervised 2,200 people.Mom: Hmmm … What are refugees? I don’t know that word.Mandy: Mom! Come on, you know that word!Mom: Honey, we’re practicing remember? You have to really know this material.Mandy: All right. Refugees are people who leave their countries to escape war or other problems. Mom: Is the refugee issue a big problem?Mandy: Yes. Worldwide there are now about 17 million refugees.Mom: Wow! Last question. Why did you choose Ms. Ogata for your report?Mandy: She’s an incredible woman. She moved to the United States and received a PhD from UCBerkeley. She also got married and had two children. She’s really intelligent and I respect her. Mom: I think you’re going to do a great job tomorrow. Good luck!Audio Track 3-3-5Next year, I’m going to study abroad. I want to study business economics. It will help me in my career. When I’m 23, I may come home to look for a job. Most probably in a bank or an accounting firm. After working for 4 to 5 years, I may have some savings to start a family. At the age of 30, I’d like to be a father. If everything goes smoothly,I’ll retire at the age of 50 and travel around the world.Audio Track 3-3-6Hi Jackie,I’m so excited about visiting you! Here are the details. My plane arrives on Friday at 2 p.m. When I get to the airport, I’ll take a taxi, so I’ll arrive at your house at about 3:00. That evening, Jeff and Carol are taking us out for dinner at a nice restaurant. I really want to spend Saturday at the beach. I’m bringing my swimsuit and beach clothes. I looked at the weather forecast on the Internet. The weather is going to be sunny and beautiful. I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had their twentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping with life’s st ressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful. Stressful events in our lives are called “stressors.” Some of them are minor, such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious, such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life’s most stressful event.You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life’s major stressors. We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.Tina Vega, 16Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town. I had to change schools and say good-bye to all my friends. It was really tough. I felt so lonely in my new school. But then one day I decided to enjoy my life: I smiled at everyone and I joined the soccer club at school. Now I have new friends. I like my new school.Frederick Cho, 42Life is unpredictable. Three weeks ago I lost my job. I was upset for the first week. I couldn’t do anything. Now I’m looking for a new job. It’s not good to sit around the h ouse. I exercise every day and I’m healthier than I’ve been in years.Hazel Greene, 80My husband and I got married in 1950. He died five years ago. For the first two years I was depressed. I missed him so much because we did everything together. But now I’m feeling better. I think it’s important to stay active and positive. I read a lot and do volunteer work.Audio Track 3-3-10Coping with life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.

When I’m forty, I’ll live in a house with a big yard.Speaking & CommunicationAudio Track 3-3-13/ Audio Track 3-3-14Sam: What are you doing?Peter: I’m applying for a driver’s license.Sam: Congratulations! What are you planning to do when you get it?Peter: Well, first, I’m going to take a trip.Sam: Really? Where?Peter: I’m going to visit my cousins in England.Sam: Sounds like fun!Peter: Yeah, and I’m planning to rent a car so I can get around.Sam: That sounds great. Just be careful. They drive on the opposite side of the road there.Audio Track 3-3-15Conversation 1A: Why are you planning to move to a new town in the future? Don’t you like this city?B: I do like this city, but I think I’d like to experience\ something different.A: Like what? City life is the same everywhere.B: Who knows? I’ve never been to any other cities. Do you have any plans to go somewhere else in the future?A: Sure. I’m going to take a trip to Canada this summer.B: Cool. That sounds like fun.Conversation 2A: Are you going to get a driver’s license?B: Yes, with a driver’s license, I’ll be able to drive wherever I want. I like traveling and sight-seeing, you know.A: But you don’t have a car, yet.B: That’s true, but I will buy one.A: It’s very expensive, though.B: Not necessarily. I’m not planning to buy an expensive car. I’ll probably just get a secondhand one.Audio Track 3-3-16A: The Magic Answer Bag’s answer to the question of “Will I find a well-paid job upon graduation?” is “Who knows?”B: I think that answer is accurate. You just can’t be sure about that.C: Well, the Ba g’s answer to the next question “Will I marry my true love?” is “Absolutely.”D: I don’t know about that. It seems that answer is too absolute. There’s no guarantee that everyone will find love.A: What is the answer to the next question, “Will I win the lottery?”B: “Not a chance!”C: I think that answer is accurate.D: I agree. There is very little chance of winning the lottery.Video CourseVideo Track 3-3-1Kevin: When I was a child my family and I moved to a new town where I had to make new friends and assimilate to a new environment.Miyuki: I came to the United States when I was eight — that was a big event in my life. I had a very difficult time getting accustomed to being here and … um … but within three, four years I had learned English and I just started speaking and I adjusted.Alejandra: When I was a teenager I went to this … um … camp in Brazil. At the camp there were thirty-three people from different countries. And this was a turning point in my life because it helped me learn about different cultures and that has helped me in what I do today and that is work as an international student advisor.Video Track 3-3-2Miyuki: I came to the United States when I was eight — that was a big event in my life. I had a very difficult time getting accustome d to being here and … um … but within three, four years I had learned English and I just started speaking and I adjusted.Video Track 3-3-3Dennis: I plan to retire in my old age, like about 70, maybe somewhere in Europe. But before that … like as early as maybe about 50 years old, I’d like to put up my own restaurant and … um … see how that goes.Miyuki: I don’t plan on getting married for a very long time, maybe 29 … 30? I can’t even think about having kids yet.Jennifer: I may get married in the future, I’d like to have kids someday, but I don’t know … we’ll see.Martin: In my lifetime one of the things that I would like to see is the end of wars. I’d like to see men at peace with each other.Video Track 3-3-4Jennifer: I may get married in the future, I’d like to have kids someday, but I don’t know … we’ll see.Martin: In my lifetime one of the things that I would like to see is the end of wars. I’d like to seemen at peace with each other.Video Track 3-3-5Claudia: So, when do you start your new job?Ro berto: I’m not sure. I may start as soon as next month.Claudia: Wow!Roberto: Yeah, it’s going to be a lot of fun … except I’ll have to learn how to use that new software program I told you about.Claudia: Don’t worry. I’m a software expert. I’ll help you figure it out.Roberto: Thanks. Hey, what about your job? Your boss was transferred to the Asian office. Are you going to get promoted?Claudia: I might … I might not. It’s not a big deal.Roberto: Huh?Claudia: I’ve been thinking lately. I don’t plan on working my whole life. Someday, maybe in five years or so, I’m going to quit my job and get out of this stressful life. You know, relax. Have some fun!Roberto: Oh. What are you planning to do?Claudia: I’m definitely going to travel … I might even move to another country, maybe work as a volunteer —I could even start a new career! Maybe one where I can help people … or help the world. What about you? What are your plans?Roberto: Well, I’ve pretty much got everything planned already, right up to my retire ment. Claudia: Really?Roberto: Yep. I’m going to work hard and save as much money as possible until I’m about 30 …31. Then I’m going to become the Vice President of Finance, and then the CEO by the time I’m 40 … maybe 45.Claudia: Yeah?Roberto: Yep. And when I’m 35 or 36, I’m going to settle down, get married, and have some kids. Claudia: Oh you are, are you? You know that for a fact?Roberto: Well, it’s not a fact — yet. But really, if you want to succeed, you need to have clearcut, well-defined goals and aspirations.Claudia: I don’t know, I think you should keep your options open. You know … “go with the flow.”Roberto: “Go with the flow,” eh? So you’re not nervous about the promotion?Claudia: I didn’t say that. It just won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get it. What about you? Are you nervous about the new job?Roberto: Not really. I’m just going to “go with the flow,” as long as the “flow” follows my plan! Video Track 3-3-6Claudia: So, when do you start your new job?Roberto: I’m not sure.

Audio Track 3-3-17Claudia and Roberto were talking about Roberto’s new job. Roberto was excited, but he was a bit nervous about learning a new software program. Claudia told him not to worry and promised to help him learn it. Then Roberto asked Claudia if she might get promoted soon because her boss had been transferred to a different office. Claudia said that getting promoted was not a big deal. She explained that her goal was to quit her job someday and relax. Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said that Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。
