Unit 1DIALOGUE IBack from the Summer CampA: Y ou know what? I've just come back from a wonderful summer camp.B: Y ou have? Where did you go?A: Mount Tai.B: I've been there too. It's one of China's most beautiful mountains. There're many scenic spots and places of historical interest. I was greatly impressed by its natural beauty when I took a study tour there two years ago.A: It really is a very beautiful tourist attraction. But we went there as campers, not as tourists. It was a study program organized by our local community committee.B: I bet you had lots of fun there.A: Yes, it was a wonderful experience. Y ou know it was the first time I'd been to a summer camp in five years, and it brought back such sweet memories.B: Were there any other camping groups when you were there?A: Not when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. But soon we were joined by many similar camping groups from other cities. By the time we arrived at the campsite, night had fallen. And we were so happy to see that the campers who arrived there the day before were giving a performance by the campfire.B: Y ou remind me of my last trip there. I wish I had been there with you this time. What did you do at the summer camp?A: Oh, lots of things. Most of the time we studied plants, rocks, insects... things like that. We also had lots of fun, hiking, climbing mountains, taking pictures...B: I guess you had the life of a natural scientist.A: And the life of an athlete, too.B: I had a similar experience during the summer two years ago. I remember my summer camp was subdivided into what we called "hobby groups", such as the music group, the drama group, and the model aircraft and ship group. People sharing similar interests and hobbies worked together. Were there any hobby groups in your program?A: Y es, of course. We had a number of hobby groups for campers with varied interests. We called them "project groups" because each group worked on a particular project. At the completion of their projects, each group presented their "fruits" to all the campers. Some gave oral reports, some staged an exhibition, and others put on a performance.B: Y ou had a marvelous time this summer! Y our story has really brought back happy memories of my own camping experience.DIALOGUE IIDialogue:Sally Jones, an English language teacher from Oxford University, has just arrived at BeijingAirport. She is going to spend three months here, lecturing and teaching at different colleges and universities. Miss Wang, Secretary of the English Department, and Mr. Y u, Vice Chairman of the English Department, have come to the airport to meet her.Miss Wang: Excuse me, are you Miss Jones?Sally: Yes, that's right.Miss Wang: Oh, how do you do? I'm Wang Xinfu, Secretary of the English Department.Sally: Oh, yes, Miss Wang, hello. I'm very pleased to meet you. (They shake hands.)Miss Wang: Miss Jones, may I introduce you to Mr. Y u, Vice Chairman of the English Department?Mr. Y u: Hello, Miss Jones, I've been looking forward to meeting you.Sally: How do you do? (They shake hands.) It's very kind of you both to come and meet me at the airport.Miss Wang: Not at all. I hope you had a good flight.Sally: Well, not too bad. It was a bit bumpy as we came in to land; some low clouds, I think. Mr. Y u: Y es, we had a storm here yesterday and the weather is still a bit unsettled.Sally: Oh, dear! I was rather lucky then!Miss Wang: Y ou must be rather tired after your long flight.Sally: Well, yes, I am actually... I've been travelling for 21 hours!Mr. Y u: In that case, I think we should go straight to the hotel.Miss Wang: Yes, I agree. This way then, ... if you'd like to follow me.READING IHerbert's HomecomingHerbert Marshall was a student at Cambridge, but his hometown was St. Albans. It was August and the family had gone to the seaside. Herbert went to France for his holiday, but he ran out of money, and came home a week earlier than he had expected to.His train didn't get into St. Albans until just before midnight. The last bus had gone, so he had to walk home. He let himself into the kitchen, and as he was feeling hot and sticky, he took off his shirt to have a wash.Suddenly he heard heavy footsteps running up the path. The back door burst open, and he found himself surrounded by policemen. They pushed him into the living-room next door, made him sit down, and began asking him question."What's your name?""Where do you live?""What's in that case?""What are you doing here?""I live here," said Herbert, "I've been on holiday." But nobody listened to him. They just went on asking questions. Then suddenly one of the policemen said:"Watch him, Frank — we'll go and search the house."They left a tall, very young policeman to guard him."Can I put my shirt on?" asked Herbert."No," said the policeman, "stay where you are."Then the others came back with an older man, a sergeant. He asked the same questions, but he listened to Herbert's answers."I live here," said Herbert, "and I want to put my shirt on." The sergeant looked at him thoughtfully."We'll soon settle this," he said.He went out and came back with a small, sandy-haired man wearing a shabby, brown dressing-gown. It was Herbert's next-door neighbor. He peered at Herbert intently through thick spectacles."Oh, yes, sergeant," he said, "That is Mr. Marshall." Then he disappeared very quickly. The policemen all looked dreadfully disappointed. They were convinced they had caught a burglar. "Did he ring you up?" asked Herbert. The police sergeant nodded."He saw a light and understood your family had all gone away to the seaside."When they had all gone, Herbert made himself a cup of coffee.Unit 2DIALOGUE IA Trip to HuangshanA: Y ou visited Huangshan during your summer vacation, I heard. How was the trip?B: Oh, it was great! Y ou ought to go there some day if you haven't been there already.A: I certainly will one of these days when I have a chance. I've heard so much about it. What do you think is the best time to go to Huangshan?B: Well, it's very crowded there in summer. Y ou know, summer is always a busy tourist season for resorts like mountains and beaches. And it's too cold to go there in winter, so I wouldn't suggest the winter season, either. Besides, we can't afford the time when school is in session. So I would say the best time for college students to visit Huangshan is the first few days of the summer break when people haven't started doing anything yet.A: I see. How long does the whole the whole trip take, including the time on the road?B: It all depends, really. If you go there by train, four days should be enough. Y ou can also take a bus, which takes a longer time and is less comfortable, but as a trade-off, you'll be able to enjoy lots of country scenes and perhaps you'll save some money, too. Besides, the coach will take you directly to the foot of the mountain, or, if you like, midway up the mountain.A: I'll go by bus, then. But how long does it take from Shanghai?B: A one-way bus ride takes about twelve hours.A: Wow, twelve hours on the road!B: And on narrow winding roads when you're almost there.A: Does the bus stop for a rest on the way?B: Oh, yes, of course. Although there's a john at the back of the coach, it stops every three or four hours for you to relax and stretch yourself, and take meals.A: That sounds good. If I can afford the time, I think I'll take the bus. Incidentally, I heard that Huangshan is famous for its clouds, pine trees and rocks. Could you tell me when is the best timeto see the clouds and where I can find the famous pine trees and the unique rock formations?B: Well, as soon as you've made up your mind, I'll tell you what to look for and where to see them. A: Do you think I should go by myself, or take a package tour with a travel agency.B: I can't say which is better. They each have advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, the most important of all is that you must go and see for yourself.A: Thank you very much for all the information. Y ou know, I'm beginning to think about the trip very seriously.DIALOGUE IIDialogue:Map of NewtownA stranger standing at point x stops someone and asks him the way to the station.A: Excuse me.B: Y es.A: Could you tell me how to get to the railway station, please?B: The railway station? Let me think... yes, take the third turning on the right and it's opposite the park.A: The third turning on the right. I see... is it far?B: No, not really, only a few minutes.A: Oh, good, thank you very much.B: Not at all.READING ILeaving HomeWhen I told my mother, she looked at me as if I had slapped her face."What? Live in London?" she said."I just feel it's time I saw a little more of the world. After all, mum, I'm twenty-two!"Just then, my father came downstairs, looking relaxed as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap. I had chosen the moment carefully."Clive wants to leave home. He doesn't want to live with us any more," she told him in a trembling voice. My father's expression changed."What? Y ou aren't serious, are you, son?" he asked. He sat down at the table opposite me. Perhaps my parents wouldn't have reacted this way if they hadn't spent all their lives in a small village in Wales. And perhaps my mother in particular wouldn't have been so possessive if her only other child hadn't died as a baby. I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked for had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office. But I didn't dare tell them I had already accepted the job."London's a long way away. We'll hardly see you anymore," my father said."I can come back at weekends, dad."He shook his head, looking more and more like someone who had just been given a few months to live by his doctor."I don't know, son. I don't know."He shook his head again and then got up and walked out into the garden.My mother and I sat there at the table. In the silence, I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall. There were tears in my mother's eyes. I know she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, and I wondered if I could stand up to it. I even began to wonder if it was wrong of me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital.She put her hand over mine."Y our father hasn't been well lately. Neither have I. Y ou know that. But we won't stand in your way if it's what you really want," she said.Unit 3DIALOGUE IA New Life on the University CampusLu Hua goes back to her secondary school to visit Wang Laoshi, her former English teacher. Wang Laoshi asks her about her life and study in the English Department at Pujiang University.A: Hello, Lu Hua. Nice to have you back. How are things at the university?B: Everything's fine, Wang Laoshi. Life at the university is so exciting and challenging.A: Do you live on campus?B: Not the whole time... I mean not on weekends. A university rule says that no freshmen should live off campus during the weekdays, unless the university authorities give permission.A: It's a good rule for new students. But you don't have to eat in school cafeterias, do you?B: No, we don't. But we prefer to eat there because there's a wide variety of foods on the menu, which changes every day. Besides, the food service is much better than that of most secondary schools. For one thing, our campus cafeterias are under the management of a professional food service company with an annually-renewable contract.A: I suppose you buy meal plans, then.B: Most of us do. We have IC cards for meals and pay on a monthly basis.A: That's very convenient. Well, how do you like your campus environment in general?B: The university has two campuses, one for freshmen and sophomores, and the other for juniors, seniors and graduate students. My campus is located on the outskirts of the city. It's a new campus, very peaceful, and free from the hustle and bustle of a metropolis.A: And free from all sorts of distractions and diversions that most city dwellers find it hard to escape or ignore.B: Y es, it's another plus when you live away from urban attractions.A: Did you have any orientation program about campus life for entering students?B: Y es. It was a three-day orientation, including a campus tour. We tried to learn as much aspossible about the university. We visited libraries, classroom buildings, language labs, the multimedia resource centre, computer support services, the student club, and the sports stadium. A: Do you freshmen have access to all these resources and technical facilities on a regular basis? B: Absolutely. They are open to all students. As a matter of fact, we're encouraged to make the most of the libraries and technical support services on the campus.A: Being an English major, do you have to speak English with your fellow students and English teachers most of the time?B: Yeah. We're expected to speak English with all our English teachers, whatever courses they teach. We're also encouraged to speak English in the dorm area as much as possible. We're not quite used to this "English only" environment, though. Anyway, we're all trying very hard.A: Good for you. It always takes time to adjust to a new environment. I suppose there are English lectures and talks available to you.B: Yes. They are given to us English majors periodically, and they cover a variety of topics. Not only that, we are encouraged to attend the free discussion session following each lecture or presentation. Most of the lectures are given by native-speakers, and unfortunately, I have a difficult time figuring out much of what they say.A: It takes time to understand lectures by native speakers. But they are very good for students majoring in English.B: Y es, indeed. There's no reason whatsoever for me to skip any of them.A: Well, your life at the university sounds very good. It's such a delight to know that one of my students is doing fine at the university. Come and see me again when you have a chance.B: I certainly will.DIALOGUE IIDialogue:A: When did you last go to London?B: Oh, I don't know really. I suppose it was about thirty, or, maybe even forty years ago.A: As long as that? Y ou wouldn't recognize it now.B: Has it changed very much?A: Oh, yes! It's changed beyond belief. It's a lot bigger of course and it's been cleaned up quite a lot.B: What about the fog?A: Oh, London doesn't have fog any more. That's all disappeared and the air has been cleaned considerably over the last thirty years or so.B: Do you think I'd still recognize it?A: Of course you would. Parts of London haven't changed very much at all, but in other areas the change is incredible.B: Is that cinema still open, the one at the corner of the street where I used to live? Y ou remember it, the "Rex", I think.A: No, that was knocked down about ten years ago. It's been replaced by a large supermarket. The small park has been destroyed, too, and the road has been widened. I think a new block of flats will be built there in a few years' time.B: What a pity! That park used to be very beautiful, and peaceful, too, in the summer.A: Even the old grocery shop isn't there anymore. It's been turned into a small restaurant.B: Is the man still there who used to deliver coal?A: No, unfortunately, he died five years ago, but his son still runs the business. He hasn't got a horse and carriage any more. The coal is delivered by lorry. He's doing very with the business, too; next year they'll have two lorries.B: Well, that's progress! Y ou know, I don't think I'd like to go back to London somehow.A: I go to London more often now than I used to, so I don't notice the changes now.B: I think it's been changed too much. I want to remember it as it was.READING IThe PressMore newspapers per person are sold in Britain than in any other country. Some believe that this proves that the British are more civilized and more interested in current affairs than other people; cynics look for other explanations.Certainly the geography of the country helps. Because Britain is such a relatively small country, it is possible to buy national newspapers published in London anywhere in the country on the same day. In most parts of the country, papers are actually delivered to houses by the local newsagent before breakfast.Daily papers are printed every morning in London and important provincial centers. National papers, available everywhere in the country, cover a wide range of political views and journalistic styles. Quality papers include The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Times, while more popular papers include The Daily Mirror, The Daily Express, The Sun and The Daily Mail. On the whole, papers in Britain are perhaps less extreme than in some countries; they are less obviously committed politically and less dramatic and sensational in content.As well as national daily papers, there are Sunday papers, again divided between the serious (e.g., The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph and The Observer) and the more popular (e.g., The Sunday Mirror, The Sunday People, News of the World).Some large towns also evening papers containing local as well as national and international news, and nearly everywhere in the country is served by a local weekly paper. This is devoted exclusively to local news and events, and is a very good source of information about what is happening in a particular town or village.Of course the press means more than newspapers. A vast range of magazines are published, aimed at readers interested in all sorts of subjects. If you go into a newsagent's shop in a large town you will find weekly and monthly magazines produced for people with interests from angling to zoos. However, if you judge from this evidence, most British women are interested mainly in knitting and cooking and most British men are interested mainly in cars and football. Can this be true?Unit 4DIALOGUE IStruggling with Taking DictationA: Gosh, look at this, seventeen mistakes in my dictation exercise again! That's terrible. I'm really sick of the whole dictation business.B: Relax, relax. This is not the end of the world. It happened to me too. Just take it easy and let me know what the problem is.A: The problem is that I don't believe I'll ever be able to take dictation in English decently. It gets on my nerves each time I have to do it.B: Come on, it can't be as bad as all that. Let me know if I can help you in any way.A: I started all right each time, but ended up with missing words, even phrases.B: Did you listen carefully when the dictation passage was read to you?A: Of course. I believe I listened to Wu Laoshi's reading very carefully, and tried to take down every word she read to us. What happened was that I was able to write down only the first few words of each sentence. I just couldn't hold complete sentences in my memory while writing.B: Did you have trouble understanding what you had to write?A: Understanding? What has that got to do with taking dictation? It's dictation. All I have to do is to write down what Wu Laoshi dictates.B: I'm afraid that is exactly the problem with your dictation, never trying to make sense of what you hear. How can you hold in your memory something you don't even try to understand?A: I still don't see what you mean.B: I mean you should take advantage of the first reading and try to know the main idea of the whole passage. Then you're on your way to becoming a 'dictation master'.A: Don't tease me. All I want to be is an average dictation taker. What exactly should I do after the first reading?B: In my opinion, when you begin to write, you don't want to listen to each sentence read to you as a group of isolated words, but as a meaningful unit.A: I focused my attention on individual words so that I wouldn't miss a single one. Every word counts when the dictation work is graded, you know.B: I'm afraid that was another reason why you failed to do dictation well. I know every word counts. But each phrase, and each sentence, counts more. If you focus only on isolated words without making sense of the whole sentence or of the whole passage, you will miss more than a few words. On the contrary, if you understand a group of words as a meaningful sentence, the words will come to you more easily.A: I see. Y our advice is very helpful. I think I'm beginning to understand. Thank you for your advice.B: Y ou've welcome.DIALOGUE IIDialogue:Elizabeth meets her interpreter in the hotel lobby for breakfast. They have been in Beijing fortwo days and are returning to Shanghai in two hours.Int: Hello, Elizabeth. How are you?Eliz: Fine, thanks.Int: Are you sure you're all right? Y ou look a bit worried today. Is there anything wrong?Eliz: Well, yes, there is something wrong actually. Perhaps you can give me some advice.Int: Of course, if I can.Eliz: Well, last night when I returned from the theatre, I found that I'd lost my wallet.Int: Oh, dear! That's terrible! What was in your wallet?Eliz: Well, some money, of course, my visa, all my identity cards and some photos.Int: Well, if I were you, I'd go to the police station straight away and report it.Eliz: Y es, I've already done that, and they said they'd make a search for it. But we're leaving soon and I need my visa and identity cards badly.Int: Oh, dear! What a pity! Are you sure you lost the wallet in the theatre?Eliz: Y es, quite sure.Int: I think you should put an advertisement in the China Daily, saying when and where you lost it.Eliz: But that takes too long.Int: Wait a minute! I know! How stupid of me. My uncle lives in Beijing and he lives very close to the theatre. I'll telephone him and ask him to go there. Y ou'd better go and have breakfast and I'll meet you later.Eliz: Oh, thank you. That's marvelous. I hope he find it.READIGN IA Source of EnergyEveryone needs and uses energy. If there were no energy, there would be no life.Most of the energy on this planet comes from the sun, but people do not receive that energy directly. It comes from different sources and in different forms.Green plants convert the sun's energy to food energy that animals and people use for life. The energy from animals had been used for hundreds of years to operate farm equipment and to pull carts, wagons, and other vehicles.The sun's energy takes water from rivers, lakes, and oceans and returns it to the earth in the form of rain or snow. When rain or snow falls on the land, some of it flows into rivers and streams. This flowing water can be used to produce mechanical energy and electricity. Water can also be converted to steam, which produces energy to operate machines.Winds also come from solar energy. Air that has been heated by the sun rises and creates winds. The power of winds has moved ships on the sea, ground grain, and brought water from the earth. There is also solar energy in oil, wood, and coal. There fuels have been formed over many centuries from plants. People burn them to produce heat and to create power for machines. Coal and oil are used to produce electrical energy, too. And electricity produces light, heat, and sound energy. In addition, electric power operates many kinds of equipment, tools, and machines, which make work easier.The need for power increases every day, and some sources of energy are being used up very quickly. So scientists and technicians are trying to find new ways to produce power. Nuclear energy, cow manure and garbage have become energy sources. But probably the most promising source of energy is solar heat. Some scientists suggest using these different sources of energy together. If this were done, it would be a way to create all of the power people need.* * *If All the Seas Were One SeaIf all the seas were one sea,What a great sea that would be!If all the trees were one tree,What a great tree that would be!If all the axes were one axe,What a great axe that would be?If all the men were one man,What a great man that would be!And if the great man took the great axeAnd cut down the great treeAnd let it fall into the great sea,What a great splash that would be!Unit 5DIALOGUE ILearning Chinese as a Foreign LanguageA: Hi, Xiaohua!B: Hi, David, how's everything?A: Good. So far so good, I mean.B: Y ou've been in China for two months. How do you like your CFL program in the Chinese Department?A: My interest in Chinese grows with each passing day. So does my difficulty in learning Chinese. It's such a difficult language! It's go different from European languages, such as English and French.B: As a learner of English as a foreign language, I'm going through a similar ordeal. I have difficulty with spelling, pronunciation and, believe it or not, with numbers and figures.A: But you speak English so much better than I do Chinese. I wish I were able to talk to native speakers in Chinese the way you are talking to me.B: Y ou will. Only it takes time.A: I know. "Rome was not built in a day."B: And “只要工夫深,铁杵磨成针”, as the Chinese saying goes.A: Which means...?B: Which means "Dripping water wears away stone", or "Where there's a will, there's a way." By the way, what do you find most difficult with your Chinese learning?A: The grammatical structure of Chinese doesn't seem to be as complex as I used to think. In many ways it is simpler than most European languages. No verb agreement, no irregular verbs and nouns, very few and simple tense markers, to name just a few.B: On the other hand, these are exactly the causes of some of the major problems I have with my English learning.A: But the Chinese writing system is altogether new to me. Instead of neat rows of 26 simple alphabetic letters, there are tens of thousands of unique characters formed with a varied number of strokes. Many of these characters seem complex. Although the calligraphy of Chinese characters is artistically beautiful, I won't be able to appreciate it until I can recognize and write at least 8,888 Chinese characters. I'm just kidding.B: How does Chinese sound to you?A: I find Putonghua rather melodious, a little like singing.B: Basically, Chinese is a tonal language. I'm not sure if you have trouble with making distinctions of the four tones.A: Y es, I do. The tonal system of Chinese really bothers me. It's a major source of difficulty with my comprehension and pronunciation. It's so upsetting that most of the time I don't understand what I hear and am not understood by others.B: I suggest you take advantage of living in China and go to lectures, movies, and plays "8,888 times", and dip yourself in the language environment as much as possible. Before I forget, I have two tickets for a newly-released feature film. Would you like to go with me and improve your listening for the tones?A: Certainly! Thank you so much.B: My pleasure.DIALOGUE IIDialogue:Two English teachers from a foreign language university in China are talking about a book called Beijing opera and Mei Lanfang. One of the teachers saw a Beijing opera a week ago and bought the book afterwards; the other teacher didn't see the opera, but is interested in buying the book. A: Where did you buy it?B: In the bookshop. It wasn't very expensive.A: What does the book say about Beijing opera? I don't know anything about it.B: Well, neither did I before I read the book. It says that the Beijing opera is a very old art form, over hundreds of years old.A: Do you think I should buy it?B: Y es, if you are interested. It tells you all about the history, the famous actors, the costumes and what all the different movements mean.A: What's the difference between Beijing opera and Western theatre?。

UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。

我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。

我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。

我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。

但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。

我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。

他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。

“好极了!”他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问。

但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走。

他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。

妈妈打来电话。

她问我是不是见到了导师。

星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。

我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。

我下到餐厅排进了长队。

“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。

“不知道。

我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。

这是午餐。

”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。

前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。

我再也不觉得饿了。

妈妈打电话来。

她问我有没有好好吃饭。

星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。

我醒时已经8:45了。

竟然没有人叫我起床。

奇怪。

我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。

我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。

她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。

结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字。

那个女生名叫苏菲,和我一样,也是英语文学专业的学生。

Unit 6 Think for a changeWarming upReference answers11) long (long time; long hair; long stretch)2) table (table manners; round table; table tennis)3) glass (broken glass; clear glass; eyeglasses)21) A chair can be used:•as a step for kids not tall enough for the basin•as a plant shelf when put upside down•as a bedside table•…2) A coffee mug can be used:•as a flowerpot for growing small plants, such as spring onions and coriander•as a vase•as a container for holding small objects, such as pens, candles, and a sewing kit•…3) A toothbrush can be used for:•cleaning the crawfish•cleaning the keyboard•cleaning containers with small mouths•cleaning shoes•removing the small fiber balls on clothes, such as sweaters and overcoats•…3We can see from the above exercises that creativity really matters. Without creativity, we will not get the flash of inspiration and find the fourth word that the three unrelated words can share, and we will never be able to come up with so many creative ways that an everyday object like a chair, a coffee mug and a toothbrush can be used.The importance of creativity in our personal lives can’t be underestimated. Creativity is part of who we are and how we express ourselves in everyday life. Creativity is not something we are born with, nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence. It is a matter of using the resources we have to produce original ideas. Artists use creativity to express their ideas and visions through painting, wood carving, sculptures, graffiti, and photography, which provide us with visual feasts. Musicians, singers and songwriters use creativity to make music that touches us. Fashion designers use creativity to create clothes which make us look amazing. Scientists use creativity to invent things that facilitate our lives and change the world.Creativity is everywhere, in the food we eat, in the clothes we wear, in the places we visit, etc.With a creative eye, we find creative things, and with a creative mind, we create things.Listening and speakingNews reportScriptsA group of 30 prominent British and American scientists write an open letter to London’s The Guardian newspaper and say the current process for approving scientific studies is counterproductive and needs to be changed.In the letter, the scientists point out that almost all of the 500 major discoveries of the 20th century were started before 1970, and that many of those discoveries challenged the accepted science of the time and would probably not be funded today.They say that since then, researchers have had to make their academic peers believe the work would have enough benefits to justify the investment of time and money, which limits opportunities for open-ended research.The scientists note that before the 1970s, the funds available were small, but researchers were free to use the money however they saw fit. Nowadays, their proposals must include convincing evidence that the results would be beneficial for national policies.The 30 scientists are calling for a new effort to support independent-thinking researchers like the ones who made major discoveries in electronics, nuclear power, biotechnology, and medicine.Questions:1.Why did the scientists write the letter?2.What do we learn about the major discoveries in the 20th century?3.What kind of research is most likely to be funded today according to the scientists?4.Which of the following is not mentioned as an area where the scientists are calling forinvestment?Reference answersListening and understanding1. C2. A3. A4. BThinking and speakingThe importance of supporting research and development (R&D)The investment in R&D plays a significant role in the overall health and long-term sustainability of the economy of a nation. We think that in the next three to five years more investment should be made in basic research, core technologies, and interdisciplinary research.First, research is indispensable for innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedlystressed the importance of basic research as the source of innovation. Without basic research, there will be no innovation. And we think that more emphasis should be put on the training of basic research skills of the students in institutions of higher learning.Second, to solve the increasingly complex problems, such as climate change, environmental problems, and health problems, we think that more investment should be made in R&D, and the efforts made by researchers across various disciplines need to be united.Third, supporting D&R is good for a nation’s economy. R&D helps an industry to develop, design, and enhance its products, services, technologies, or processes. Continued advances in R&D are crucial to ensuring and increasing economic growth.Research areas to be supportedResearch areas that should be supported include but are not limited to:•space exploration•deep-sea exploration•biotechnology and medicine•(large-scale) integrated circuit•quantum technology•advanced manufacturing technologyConversationScriptsHost: Art and Business is an organization that develops creative partnerships between business and the arts. Peter Jones is going to talk about the company’s ideas. Peter,maybe you could begin by telling our listeners why Art and Business was created? Peter Jones:Well, in the 21st century, productivity is no longer just a matter of machines. The success of a company depends on the creativity of its people. The way to increaseproductivity is to stimulate creativity.Host: And what better way to stimulate creativity than through reading books?Peter Jones: Exactly. Every reader knows that a good book can stimulate the imagination and the intellect, get you thinking along lines you might not have thought of before, andopen up new worlds.Host: So, how can reading help somebody to become a more creative person?Peter Jones: Being creative needs active imaginations. When people interpret fictional scenarios, they are using their imagination. They combine imaginative skills with critical andanalytical skills.Host: Are we talking about the right and left sides of the brain?Peter Jones: Yes. Our logical left side of the brain interprets the language of a book. The creative right side looks at the forms of expression. The left side analyzes the plot while theright side is more interested in the relationships between characters –theemotional aspects.Host: How does this transfer to the world of business?Peter Jones: Creative ideas make businesses more competitive. Shared reading experiences improve creativity, communication, and morale at work.Questions:1. What is Art and Business?2. What does the success of a company depend on?3. What is the best way to stimulate creativity according to the man?4. What kind of books would the man most likely recommend?Reference answersListening and understanding11. D2. B3. A4. C21. F2. F3. T4. F5. TThinking and speakingArt and businessWe’d like to share two examples of integrating art and business.•Example 1Established in 2000, Artrade is a forerunner in e-business dealing in art works. Chinaware, painting and calligraphy, oil painting, coins, arts and crafts, rare collections, and all sorts of art works you can think of are available on the platform. Running 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, its annual sales volume reaches over 10 million yuan. While creating its own brand, Artrade has also witnessed the changes in the purchasing habits of the Chinese people.•Example 2We think Swarovski is a good example of integrating art and business. With the making of the best lead glass crystals in the world as their passion, and with a wide range of colors, forms, and sizes, Swarovski has been welcomed since 1895. It has infus ed people’s lives with glamour.Activities inspiring creativityActivities that inspire creativity include but are not limited to:•writing poetry and prose•playing and listening to music•doing photography•acting•participating in art projects•playing games•traveling•brainstorming•meditatingPassage 1ScriptsCreativity is our ability to look at a problem and come up with a good solution. It has nothing to do with the subject matter or the job. There are creative inventors, but there are also very creative cleaners and teachers. While all of us are creative, we differ in the way that we are and to which extent.Michael Kirton came up with the Adaptation-Innovation Theory. He believes that when we solve problems, we are either more adaptive or more innovative. People who are more adaptive-creative try to do things better. People who are more innovative-creative try to do things differently. For example, to solve the specific problem of smelly cat litter, more adaptive types look for a solution inside the box. They might try to let the cat create less smelly litter, then increase the size of the sand particles, and finally add some refreshing tropical scent. More innovative types think outside the litter box. They come up with cat diapers, cat schools for good manners, or a robocat.Since these two types of people are so different, can they work together in a team? Actually, research indicates that involving different types of people in problem-solving could add a new perspective and make people more careful of drawing fast conclusions or falling into groupthink. The result is a more intelligent problem-solving process.Questions:1. Which of the following is true of creativity, according to the speaker?2. What does Michael Kirton believe?3. Why does the speaker mention cat litter?4. What will happen when adaptive and innovative people work together?Reference answersListening and understanding11. B2. D3. D4. D21) better 2) differently 3) inside 4) increase 5) outside 6) cat schoolsThinking and speakingCharacteristics of adaptors and innovatorsI would see myself as an adaptor because I tend to accept a problem as defined and preferestablished and structured situations. I like things that are predictable, and often feel uncomfortable and even nervous when unexpected things happen. For example, I prefer optimizing my way of doing the school tasks to coming up with an entirely different method.At a time when change is the only predictable thing, I need to improve my way of thinking, my way of doing things, and adapt myself to the fast-changing world.•I think I am an innovator. I often find myself in conflict with the established system, and I hate to accept the generally accepted perception. I like taking risks and feel that a life without risks is not worth living. The innovative side of me is evidenced in my study of math.I often try to come up with different ways of solving a mathematical problem, and everytime I succeed, I have a great sense of achievement.Adaptors and Innovators in teamworkThe advantages and disadvantages of adaptors:Advantages:•ensuring stability and continuity•essential to the functioning of an institution all the time•able to maintain high accuracy in long spells of detailed work•seen as sound, safe and dependable•providing a safe base for the innovator’s risky operations•…Disadvantages:•blocking new initiatives•producing a sufficiency of ideas based solely on existing agreed definitions of the problem and possible solutions•focusing on improving things rather than changing things or doing things differently •…The advantages and disadvantages of innovators:Advantages:•pursuing changes to reconstruct a problem, separating it from accepted thought, paradigms, and customary viewpoints•focusing on doing things differently which will lead to creative and innovative ideas •able to discover problems and avenues for solution•encouraging corporate initiatives, such as new products, new accounting procedures •…Disadvantages:•treating accepted means with little regard in the pursuit of goals•showing little respect to past customs while challenging the rules•not helpful in maintaining certitude in face of opposition•…Passage 2ScriptsPart IEvery year on April 21, the UN celebrates World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awarenessabout the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development.The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the resolution to celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day on April 27, 2017. The UN chose April 21 as World Creativity and Innovation Day recognizing that “citizens and organizations in more than 50 countries around the world had already observed this day, which was first commemorated on April 21, 2002.” The first World Creativity and Innovation Day was observed in 2018.Part IINow the day has grown into a week. The website of World Creativity and Innovation Week says their mission is “to encourage people to use new ideas, make new decisions, and take the steps toward making the world better through creative thinking.”The UN says that innovation should be done keeping in mind every sector of the society. It lays emphasis on creativity and culture as they not only produce economic value, but also have a significant non-monetary value that contributes to inclusive social development, to dialog and understanding between peoples.It urges its member countries to make cultural and creative industries part of their economic growth strategies. The UN says, “These industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world eco nomy, generating $2.25 billion in revenue and 29.5 million jobs worldwide.”Reference answersListening and understanding11. B2. D3. C21) use new ideas 2) making the world better 3) social development4) understanding 5) economic growthThinking and speakingThe contribution of creative industriesCreative industries include a wide variety of industries, such as advertising, architecture, art, design, film and video, interactive leisure software, music, performing arts, television and radio. Creative industries are growing in economic importance for industrialized and post-industrialized nations. The production of lifestyles, cultural experiences, fantasies and images are coming to replace objects and things as the locus of the consumer society.As we can see from the first graph, creative industries accounted for an ever-increasing percentage of the GVA of the DCMS Sectors in UK economy between the years 2011 and 2017, nearly six percent in 2017. Also, the creative industries are a major source of dynamic job creation, providing over six percent of employment opportunities in 2017, as is shown in the second graph.Creative industries in China are also experiencing rapid growth due to a combination of state-owned and private-sector investment. Statistics show a steady increase in the contribution of creative industries to China’s GDP between the years 2011 and 2019, accounting for more than 4% in 2019, totaling nearly 4.14 trillion yuan. I believe that with the development of digital economy, an even faster growth of creative industries can be expected.Viewing and speakingScriptsHey, guys, I hope you’re all doing well and welcome to this week’s video. How good is your thinking game? Stay tuned as we discuss tips that you can use to be an outstanding thinker. Think outside the box is one of the most worn-out business and personal development clichés.While the urge to think outside the box is held in high esteem, it’s evident that there’s an apparent disconnect between what people say they’ll do and what they actually do. How many times have you seen people think outside the box? More importantly, how many times do you think outside the box? In simple terms, thinking outside the box can be described as thinking beyond the norm or being a nonconformist. Put simply, thinking outside the box does not mean that you need to defy gravity. It simply means that you need to be innovative with your ideas and solutions.In today’s video, we’re gonna discuss tips that you can use to think outside the box both in business and beyond.One, learn how to question the status quo regularly. Since childhood, we are bombarded with systems of doing things. We are told that we should go to school, work hard, get good grades, go to college and get that dream job. However, over the years, it’s be come evident that this system of life doesn’t work for everyone. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t go to school and perform well. Education is important. However, sometimes you need to question the norm and learn to ask why. If someone presents you with in formation that you don’t understand, you should challenge yourself to read more and question more.Two, expand your knowledge. We often wound up following the same path due to limited knowledge. To expose your brain to different ideas, you need new knowledge. There are several ways to do this. You can choose to take a class in a different industry. You can also try learning a new culture to help you relate to different people around the world. Lastly, you can read books and novels outside your usual genre to stimulate your mind.Three, mind mapping. Mind mapping is a technique that allows you to map out an idea. Essentially, you’ll have the central concept in the middle of the map, and then expand the idea outwards into other boxes. For instance, I need to create a new blog about digital marketing. Since it was the main idea, I put it in the main box. I then drew other boxes connected to the main idea with different aspects of digital marketing, such as social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, affiliate marketing, SEO, among other things. I then broke downeach element into smaller branches until they turned into topics I could work with. With my simple mind map, I discovered an easy way to expand an idea.Four, draw an image. Visualize the problem you are facing and draw images to help you solve it. With an image, you can map out all the aspects of your issues and write down solutions to each element. For instance, maybe you have several bills to pay that all have different deadlines. You can draw a box with all the bills you have to pay and accompanying dates. Then have another box with all the income you have coming in on specific dates. As you look at both boxes, you’ll have an easier time remembering everything you need to pay and match it to a date when you have enough income to afford the bill.Five, think like a competitor. Thinking like a competitor in business is extremely beneficial. For this exercise, I would encourage you to have a brainstorming session. Ask yourself or (your) team to think like a competitor by pointing out some of the weaknesses you see in the business and possible solutions for the problems. You can also get ideas for new trends in the industry your business should take advantage of to stay ahead. This tech nique also works in one’s personal life.What are your thoughts on thinking outside the box? Share your comments, and let’s learn from each other.Questions:1. What is the aim of the video clip?2. Which of the following is considered a proper example of thinking out of the box?3. Which field is this video clip mainly targeted at?4. Which of the following is a way of questioning the status quo?5. What are the audience encouraged to do at the end of the video clip?Reference answersViewing and understanding11. C2. B3. A4. A5. D21) challenge yourself 2) different industry 3) new culture 4) central concept5) expand the idea 6) Visualize 7) aspects 8) weaknesses9) new trends 10) stay aheadThinking and speakingCreating a creative atmosphere on campusTo create an atmosphere in which there is no risk in being creative – a place where wild ideas are honored and valued, a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere that inspires students’ innovative thinking, we can:•develop extracurricular activities that encourage creativity and innovation•embed creativity and innovative thinking into the curriculum or course syllabuses•expose students to various creative ideas and projects•inspire students to ask questions, try new things and apply ideas to practical situations •use a mind map more often in the classroom to encourage creativity by stimulating the brain to think in different patterns•…Learning to think outside the boxStep 1•I find the five tips helpful, especially the first two. Nowadays we are too often inclined to believe the accepted norms and follow them. We tend to stay in the comfort zone and do what the others do. This is harmful, and even dangerous. We should keep reminding ourselves that the world is advancing and things are changing, what was appropriate and correct in the past may not be appropriate and correct today. We need to develop critical thinking and question the status quo, especially when we find something we don’t understand or feel confused about. And to update ourselves on the progress in every field, we need to expand our knowledge through more reading, more listening, and more communication with people from different sectors and from different cultural backgrounds.•I like mind mapping and I often practice it. I once read an article and learned that mind mapping was created by Tony Buzan, a leading expert on the brain and learning, and co-founder of the World Memory Championships. A mind map is ideal for brainstorming, planning, information gathering, data presentation, and many other uses. It helps us break down complex topics into smaller, more understandable chunks, and it is great for sharing information and understanding complex topics. What makes a mind map so effective is that it allows us to use both sides of our brain.•I find Tip 4, drawing an image, very useful and I practice it quite often, especially when there are many deadlines I have to meet. I usually make a list of the things that I have to do along with the deadlines. I will then try to prioritize things. In this way, I manage to finish all the things in time.•In my view, the last tip, thinking like a competitor, is not only useful in the business world, but also in sports and other fields. I remember a time in high school when we were taking part in the school table tennis competition. We were lucky enough to enter the final. Our rival team was very strong, being the champion for the previous three years. We knew that there was one very strong player in the rival team who could beat any of us. We spent a long time thinking about how they would arrange their players and how to arrange the players of ours accordingly, and we succeeded in getting our weakest player playing with their strongest one. Their strongest one was wasted in a sense. We won the champion! Our excitement was beyond words and until now I can recall the disappointment on the faces of our rival team.Step 2•being open to dissenting opinions•changing the direction of thinking•meeting people with diverse experiences, views and backgrounds•developing positive emotions to broaden our attention and explore our environment •taking a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life•asking questions like “What would I do differently if I were starting from scratch?”•…Pronunciation1.

Your answer could reveal how creative you are.Michigan State University scientist Jeremy Gray has developed a simple word test to measure creativity. It’s described in the journal Behavior Research Methods.His team showed 193 participants a series of nouns and asked them to respond creatively to each with a verb. “Chair” –for example –could elicit “sit”... or more creatively, “stand.” The participants were also asked to write stories and draw pictures. Those who gave creative answers on the noun-verb test were also judged the most creative in the more traditional areas.Gray and his team are now giving the noun-verb test to participants while they are in an MRI machine to try to identify the parts of the brain that light up when creativity is called for. Their findings could eventually help students, entrepreneurs, scientists, and anyone who depends on innovative thinking.Questions:1. Why did Jeremy Gray develop the simple word test?2.
