Um... more now than before.Martha:What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in the world today?Ed: Today... I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Um... through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that. Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school?Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems from occurring. Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be?Ed: A new law for the environment? Um... I'd probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it's just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.Martha: That's a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I'm so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.Keys:(1)nature(2)environmental problem(3)pollution(4)promote(5)aware of(6)from occurring(7)law(8)throw away(9)fined(10)trashTask 2:River pollutionScript:If you see dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water is discolored and smelly,you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causes for it.First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increase considerably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up all the oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals.Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water. Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3: Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10 years. Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, "The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by givingpriority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power."Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August."We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020," Director Zhang said. At present, non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people's income, and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.CUint 3Culture makes me what I amTask 1:On the first dayCollectivism Individualism Individualism CollectivismII.

D 4.A 5.CUint4Taste the sweets and bitters of family lifeIII. Listening InTask 1:Nuclear family living patternsScript:A nuclear family is typical in highly-industrialized societies.Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type.Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university, or until they find jobs and acquire an apartment or home of their own. In the early mid-20th century, the father was typically the sole wage-earner, and the mother was the children's principal caregiver.Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift, that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon.In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works. Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need.Increasingly, companies are getting involved in the arrangement of day care. Governments are providing assistance to parents that require day care as well.

According to the study, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but shy away from the boring housework. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sporting events, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school.In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman's job and a man's hobby. Many people believe that the last 20 years have seen the arrival of the so-called "new man"—the man who is willing to share the housework and childcare.The new man has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids' school plays, and he skips a drink at the bar after work so that he can get home in time to read bedtime story to their kids.This study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia.Indeed, a poll conducted in the U.K. for the think tank the Fatherhood Institute in January indicates that almost 70 percent of British women think that men are as good at raising children as women.That's something for Australian men to ponder while they brush their teeth! Keys:1.F 2.T 3.T 4.F 5.TTask3: Views on filial piety see changeScript:With fast economic development in Hong Kong, young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety.Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conducted by the City University of Hong Kong.As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that the burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families. Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds.He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love.When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes.Others said they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents saidthey would be ready to take care of the psychological health of their parents. According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously.Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care. Researcher Wong questioned the wisdom of adopting the new concept of government welfare.He said, "A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in Hong Kong the personal tax rate is only 15 percent.How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?"He further pointed out that even when a social security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give.

She believes the weather has changed.John: What she means is the climate's long-term conditions; weather refers only to day-to-day conditions.Nora: Yeah, she says summer is hotter, and winter wetter. But I tried to comfort her, saying, “It's all in your mind, Granny.”John: She's right, you know. The greenhouse effect does bring global warming and rain.Nora: How can I explain global warming and greenhouse gases to a 97-year-old GrannyJohn: Tell her the earth now is like a real greenhouse made of glass panels that let in light and trap heat.Nora: Think she'll want to know that carbon monoxide from earth makes greenhouse gasesJohn: Everybody should know what cause global warming; otherwise we won't stop it.Nora: I'll tell Granny not to burn any more wood or coal, or to use spray on the hair.John: OK, joke about it, but it won't be so funny when the polar icecaps melt and oceans rise.MODEL2 Rain-forests will soon be only a memory. ScriptSusan: Hey, Chris, there is an environmental group on campus asking for donations to save the rainforests.Chris:So whatSusan: So what! Don't you want to save the rainforestsChris: But there're no rainforests in our country. They need hot, tropical climates.Susan: Come on. A rain forest is any forest where heavy rainfall leadsto dense vegetation. Tropical rainforests can be found in hoe, tropical areas, but there are also cool rainforests, including one in southeast Alaska.Chris: How did you know thatSusan: Well, I've just read a book on rainforests. You know, 140nillion people live in the world's rainforests, and 35 percent of the world's plant and animal species exist only in rainforests.Chris: Wow, I'm impressed. So what else have you learnedSusan: Most of the world's rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers. They are disappearing at a rate of 1000 acres a minute!Chris: It's terrible!Susan: Yeah, we've got to find a way to save them. Now would you like to give a donationChris: Sure.MODEL3 What a terrible sandstorm!ScriptSusan: Hey, John. You're back. A few days ago, a big sandstorm hit our cityJohn: Oh, that's bad.Susan: The air was full of dirt and sand and dust. I had to wear a scarf around my head.John: The dust, as I know, comes from Mongolia. And from my reading in science, I've heard the dust often comes after a long period of drought.Susan: This is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and unfortunately our city is one of them.John: And if the drought continues, the soil is easily airborne. And thenif the wind comes, the soil can be lifted up on the cold are that rises up, and it can travel very long distances.Susan: Normally, when there's a wind, it can clear the air, and you have beautiful weather. But when the dust is brought in with the wind, then you can't breathe, you can't see well, and it's dangerous for driving, or for walking.John: Yeah. You know, when the dust is lifted up it can go as high 3,000 meters. And it's not just China that has problems, but many other countries. For example, the middle of Australia sometimes has dust storms, and some of the dust goes up very high, goes across the ocean, and falls down on New Zealand.Susan: Not a very nice neighbor.John: I s there a solution to the problemSusan: We need to plant more trees and grass so that the soil can stay where it is.John: No wonder the government is launching a new afforestation program in a bid t address the environmental problem.Unit3MODEL 1 Americans glorify individualism.Susan: John, I was looking for you. Where have you been hiding all morning John: Well, I caught Professor Brown's lecture on American individualism.Susan: Oh, how did you find itJohn: Enlightening. Americans glorify individualism. They believe individual interests rank above everything else.Susan: Sounds interesting. It's a sharp contrast to the oriental collectivism Professor Wang talked about last semester.John: But you should know that the individualism in the United States is not necessarily an equivalent for selfishness.Susan: Then what does it mean in the StatesJohn: They believe all values, rights, and duties originate in individuals, so they emphasize individual initiative and independence. Susan: There could be something in that. Of course in oriental countries the interests of the group are more important than anything else. John: I So, it's all the more necessary for foreigners to understand American culture, or they can't hope to understand the importance of privacy in the West..Susan: Maybe that's the reason nuclear families outnumber extended families in the United States.John: Right on! You're catching on fast!Susan: Now let me ask you a question.John: Shoot. Go ahead.Susan: Why do Americans cherish individualism more than oriental people John: I don't know. Anyway, Professor Brown didn't say.Susan: One reason might be that American children stop sleeping with their parents at an early age. They learn independence early, so it's deeply rooted.John: Wow, that's an intelligent guess!MODEL2 What do you think are the reasons for that differenceScriptSusan: Do you find that people in America often walk faster than people in China Americans always seem to be in a hurry.John: It's hard to come to a definite conclusion. Some Americans walk in a leisurely way, and some Chinese hurry all the time. But on the whole, I think you're right.Susan: What do you think are the reasons for that differenceJohn: Americans treasure time. For them, time is tangible. It's a thing. “Time is money.” You can “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”. You can even “kill time”!Susan: Does this strong sense of time affect their lifestyleJohn: Sure. If you're 20 minutes late for a business appointment, the other person or persons will be annoyed. They may not trust you anymore. Susan: But as far as I know, English-speaking people may be 15-30 minutes late for a dinner party.John: That's true. For an informal occasion like that, punctuality is not so important. Also, a boss may keep his employees waiting for a long time.Susan: But if his secretary is late, she's in trouble. She will probably receive a reprimand.John: How true!Susan: The American worship of time probably led them to create fast foods.John: I agree. And globalization shrinks the differences between cultures. Now people everywhere are rushing, and anywhere you go, you find Kentucky Fried Chicken.Susan: But plenty of Chinese are still making appointments saying, “If I am late, wait for me.”John: But with more intercultural communication, I think the gap will eventually be bridged, and Chinese will be hurrying everywhere.MODEL3 That's the secret of their success.ScriptChris: Hey Sue, how's the math class going Are you head of the class Susan: Are you kidding There's a bunch of foreign students in the class---from China somewhere---and they are on : Why do you think so many Chinese students excel in math It's been my observation that the Chinese students are usually the best.Susan: In class they don't say much, but they definitely get the best marks.Chris: I think part of it is their work ethic. They never skip class, and they pay attention.Susan: One Chinese student in my class did homework each night until the early hours. He never took a break, watched TV, or went out for a beer. Chris: That's the secret of their success: hard work and diligence. Susan: It's so unfair. I could probably do better if I worked harder, but that's no fun. I think learning should be more fun.Chris: Someone with a knowledge of chess would find a chess tournament fascinating. But if you don't have the knowledge, then you won't understand the significance of the moves, and you'll be bored. Susan: So what you're saying is knowledge requires hard work, and knowledge makes things interesting. I am not against knowledge; I just want to learn it in an interesting way. What's more, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”Unit4MODEL 1 Is youth wasted on the youngAmy: I'd like to talk to you, so stop what you're doing for a minute.Bill: What is it, Amy I'm having a hectic time working on this report for tomorrow's meeting.Amy: Well, you're always pretty busy, and it's been more five years, almost six, since we were married.Bill: Yes, time has gone so fast, but they've been good years.Amy: I know, but I want to have a baby¡ªI want us to have a baby.Bill: I know you do. But remember, we said we'd wait until we could afford it.Amy: But five years is a long time to wait. Anyway, it's long enough. Bill: I'm this close to getting a promotion.Amy: What has that got to do with it We could wait forever if we wait for the ¡°perfect¡± moment. Soon we'll be too old to enjoying having a baby.Bill: You know, you have a good point. This report can wait. I'll do it tomorrow morning. Let's open a bottle of wine and enjoy ourselves.MODEL2 So many people in the United States get divorced! ScriptKim: Hi Amy.Amy: Hi! Look at this headline, Kim.Kim: Wow! So many people in the United States get divorced!Amy: But this is not uncommon in west. In some places, the divorce rate can be as high as 50 percent.Kim: It seems strange to me that Westerners fall head heels in love quickly, if not at first sight; but they also leave each other quickly.Amy: Is it the same in your countryKim: I don't think so. In my country, some marriages break up, but most couples stay together.Amy: Do people get married youngKim: Not really. Not many people get married before the age of 20.Amy: Hmm. Do woman usually work after they get marriedKim: No, a lot of women stay home to take care of their families. But more women work now.MODEL3 Why not have both our parents here for ChristmasScriptAmy: You know, Christmas is coming. And I haven't seen Dad for ages¡ªhe always has such great stories to tell.Bill: I know we went t my folks' last year, but my Mom's been pretty sick. This might be her last Christmas.Amy: She's been ill, but don't exaggerate. You just don't like my mother. That's why you don't want to go to my parentsBill: She's never liked me. Never thought I was good enough for you.Amy: Well, you're not¡ But seriously, Mom's not so sad. She's just got a thick skin and likes to hide her feelingsBill: I don't think so.Amy: Why not have our both families here for ChristmasBill: That would make twenty-two of us if we invited everybody. Amy: Why not just have our parents here for ChristmasBill: Good idea. Just don't sit me next to your mother.Unit5MODEL 1 Eat, drink and be merry on Christmas.Nora: My mother bought an enormous twenty-five pound turkey for Christmas dinner. I'm so excited!Susan: We have geese and ham for Christmas dinner on both Christmas Eve and Christmas night.Nora: Our traditional Christmas dinner is a turkey, so gigantic that we eat leftovers for days.Susan: Chris swears he'll refuse a huge dinner and stick to a healthy meal of tofu and salad.Nora: No way. He's kidding! Wait till he sees what his mother cooks: roast turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and plum pudding for dessert!Susan: We heap up our presents under the tree and open them on Christmas morning.Nora: We open one Christmas Eve, more Christmas morning, and the rest the next day.Susan: Wow! Your family prolongs the celebration for three days!Nora: We start by decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, putting ornaments, lights and artificial snow flakes on it.Susan: Do you hang stockings by the fireplace and have a star on top of the treeNora: Yes. And we have another activity. We also "give not expecting to get".Susan: That's a peculiar expression. What do you mean by thatNora: It's secret giving. We sneak up to the door of somebody we want to give a gift to, ring the doorbell, and run.Susan: So, you're not expecting anything; you're just being generous.That's a kind-hearted gesture.Nora: Isn't that what the true spirit of Christmas is supposed to beMODEL 2 The Pilgrims' spirit of Thanksgiving lives on.ScriptChris: Will Nora be spending Thanksgiving with us this yearSusan: No, she's going home to spend the holiday with her mother and brother. She hasn't seen her family in over a year.Chris: I know how she feels. Thanksgiving is such a big family holidayin the States.Susan: It began as a celebration by the Pilgrims. They were happy justto have survived their first harsh winter in the new land in 1621 "Chris: But wasn't that harsh winter followed by an abundant harvestSusan: Yeah, that's good reason to celebrate: they had beaten the oddsand were still alive. It was a time to relax and "count your blessings".Chris: You know, most cultures seem to have some sort of celebration likethis--don't the Chinese have a festival of moon cakes to celebrate theharvest monthSusan: Yeah, they do. I believe the round moon cakes also symbolize afamily reunion.Chris: Well, today Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holiday.Susan: True, it's a very emotional time. Families often travel great distances to be together and share a huge dinner.Jamie's mother will havea turkey and a ham, corn-on-the-cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to topit all off, pumpkin pie.Chris: Just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water, and I thinkI'm going to gain ten pounds this year.Susan: But you have the rest of the year to lose those unwanted pounds.And losing weight will give you something to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten you on HalloweenScriptSusan: Hey Kim! Are you okay You seem badly shaken. Where did you go'Kim: Just to the corner, but I'm frightened out of my wits, scared silly,terrified.Susan: What happened You said you were only going to the store for a coke.Kim: People in funny costumes and masks everywhere! Some in tall, pointedhats.Susan: It's October 31 st, Halloween, the day for dressing like witchesand ghosts.Kim: In the store window is a big vegetable with a carved face and candleinside.Susan: It's a pumpkin. A face and a candle burning inside make it a Jacko' Lantern.Kim: A crowd of children followed me shouting, "Tickle your feet."Imagine!Susan: No, they said, "Trick or Treat" They were hoping you'd give themcandy.Kim: Welt, it's a funny kind of holiday. What's it called HalloweenSusan: Yeah, it's one of the oldest holidays in the West. Today it's mostlyfor children.Kim: I myself would never dress like a ghost and shout, "Tickle yourfeet."Unit6MODEL 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good jobSusan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good jobJohn: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companiesSusan: Yeah, I did. But they didn't seem to be interested in women. I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I'm afraid it won't be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaperSusan: I've been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can't find anything interesting that I'm qualified for.And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I'll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you're looking for.Susan: Great, I'll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon Oh no!

Don't look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I'm not sure what kind of questions they'll ask.John: They'll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don't want a completely green hand. They don't want to spend time and money on training.Susan:Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday.John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask themJohn:You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefitsJohn: Better not. Not unless they bring it up.Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You're right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they'll offer. MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from thecompetition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch,so we don't have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill: That's essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don't believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he'll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it's a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them downBill: Sure, Helen! That's why they call them headhunters.Unit7MODEL 1 I am having cash problems.Bill: Helen, you started this company only a year ago. If you want it to grow, I'm afraid you need to do something about cash flow.Helen: Bill, although you've worked here only for a couple of months, you already know this company inside out. I am having cash problems.Bill: Clearly you don't have the money you need to buy the equipment to be competitive. You have just barely enough funds to cover your day-to-day operational expenses.Helen: I think my best bet is to secure a small-business loan.Bill: I don't think that's possible. It seems to me you don't have the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do thenBill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loans for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don't have much collateral,I can still quality for a loanBill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers crossed!MODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I've been searching for a loan, but I was rejected everywhere.

After a long discussion with my partners, I've come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to file for bankruptcyBill: What Bankruptcy I didn't know you were in this kind of serious financial trouble.Helen:Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading competitors are discussing a merger. Then we'll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go from bad to worse. We simply can't afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the employeesHelen: Early next week.Bill: What kinds of severance package will we able to offer themHelen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month's salary.Bill: Oh!

Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay.Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.But they usually don't try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just "drop in" unannounced.Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed. The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules.In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it.Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle.The rhythm of nature—from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon—shapes their view of events.If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle.But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity.They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."Keys:1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our personal spaceScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia, generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what is usual north of the border. And for Middle Easterners, typical Arab conversations are at close range. Closeness cannot be avoided.As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is sacred.Keys:1.A 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.BTask3:We don't know what to do with them.ScriptA Russian, a Cuban, an American businessman, and an American lawyer were passengers on a fast train speeding across the French countryside. As time wore on, they gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottle out of the open window."What did you do that for?" asked the startled American businessman."Vodka is plentiful in my country," said the Russian. "In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it—far more than we need."The American businessman shook his head and leaned back in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian's reasoning.A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasure of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window."I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year," the American businessman said. "Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.""Cigars," the Cuban replied, "are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of themthan we know what to do with."The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grabbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.Keys:1.The Russian hurled the half-full bottle of vodka out of the open window.2.He answered, "Vodka is plentiful in my country.

Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:Hi, everybody. My topic today is "Problems with our educational system".I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened fora long time in our educational system.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students' abilities and interest in other areas.I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in cators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.I think being well-rounded isn't really possible.And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if they,you know, haven't scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'.And they're very aware of their social position, you know.I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.They're just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that's pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education.Keys:(1)standardized tests(2)abilities and interest(3)interest(4)pressure(5)well-rounded(6)get into good colleges(7)the rest of the school(8)from bad to worseTask 2: The final examScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. that each had an "A" so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there.They had a great time and didn't make it back to school until early Monday morning.Rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it.They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but,unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare.As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could makeup the final the following day.The guys were relieved and elated.The next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points.It was a simple question on a chemical reaction. "Cool," they all thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: "Which of the tires was flat?"Keys:(1)course(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare(9)placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper(10)On the second page was a question worthTask3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of higher learning in the United States.Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members.Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many NobelPrize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities,but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education.It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships,and expanded Harvard's physical facilities.NeiI L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard's 26th president in 1991.As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university's schools and faculties,Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard's main intellectual priorities.He also stressed the importance of the university's excellence in undergraduate education,the significance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage. Keys: 1.B 2.A 3. C 4.D 5.DViewing and speaking:Task 1:University budget cutsScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins me from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts... tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education?Interviewee: Well, I think it's important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than ever before in our history.But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant. And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan...Host:But there's going to be less money next year. That's the bottom line, isn't it?Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant.That's 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion. Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they're,you know, it's a lot more than one percent that they're, they're feeling.So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that.Host:And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn't it?Interviewee:Well, we, we, we... It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates.We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last few years we've been growing the number of foundation degree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into highuniversity and high level skills.That's what we want to support and that's what we're indicating in the grant letter that we've sent to universities over the last few days.Host:OK.

Um... more now than before.Martha:What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in the world today?Ed: Today... I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Um... through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that.Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems from occurring.Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Um... I'd probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it's just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.Martha: That's a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I'm so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.Keys:(1)nature(2)environmental problem(3)pollution(4)promote(5)aware of(6)from occurring(7)law(8)throw away(9)fined(10)trashTask 2:River pollutionScript:If you see dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water is discolored andsmelly,you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causes for it. First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increase considerably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up all the oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals. Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3: Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10 years.Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, "The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power."Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August."We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020," Director Zhang said. At present,non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people's income, and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.CIV.

Two speakers hold a negative attitude toward the world climate conference.Task 3:Let's group work!Developed countries should bear more responsibilities.First, they caused most of the world pollution in their industrialization process. Second, they are already economically advanced, with more funds to deal with pollution problems.On the other hand, developing countries caused less pollution in the past, and now they need rapid development.Therefore, an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 stipulated common but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing nations, which means that both should be responsible for environmental protection and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but the former must take more responsibility.Recently, however, some wealthy countries have insisted that developing countries like China should shoulder more responsibilities.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: The environment and the developmentScript:Li:Hi, Professor Wang.I'm Li Lin, a correspondent for the university newspaper.The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and economic development.What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time?Wang: There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, overfishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid rain, overconsumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, growing number of people and governments have adopted the new idea of "sustainable development". This means today's economic growth should not wipe out the resources and options for future generations. Planning and development should ensure not only economic growth, but also social advancement and environmental health. In other words, some economic behavior must be restricted or controlled. Instilling principles ofsustainable development into government planning, resource management and economic policy is the most important step China can take to solve its environmental problems.China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment. For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, the government banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in order to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.Still, the basic contradiction between the environment and development persists. Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balance between economic growth and the environment.Keys:(1)water pollution(2)overconsumption(3)economic growth(4)resources(5)social advancement(6)restricted(7)government planning(8)economic policy(9)remarkable steps(10)balanceTask 2: Thick cloud of pollution covering southern AsiaScriptA United Nations study says a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia threatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early death. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries, and power stations. Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves has made the problem worse.Many poor people burn fuels like wood and animal waste in such stoves. Scientists say the cloud of pollution appears to cool the land and oceans by blockingThey say it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by as much as 15 percent.At the same time, heat inside the cloud warms the lower parts of the atmosphere. Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall.This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health.Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next 30 years as the population of Asia increases to an estimated 5,000 million people.Keys:1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.CTask3: Mountain regions face a number of dangersScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world's remotest regions increase.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world's people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they were like 60 years ago.This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture. The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy.The mountains of Europe, parts of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people.These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Keys:(2)report(3)warming(4)pressures(5)mountainous(6)barely(7)make way for(8)expect 98 percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055(9)The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountain areas(10)Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the yearViewing and speaking:Task 1:Santa's home town in dangerScriptWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are signs that Santa's home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures.The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its warmest winter in 40 years.As a result, there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen, no snowballs, and possibly not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.More important for local residents, it may mean fewer tourists, as well. Santa's wintry home town normally attracts thousands of visitors each year, and millions of dollars.Anne Pelttari-Bergman, the town's tourist director, worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal.She explains: "Snow is really important for us, of course, for Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism, and also for our winter tourism because winter is our best season. It is really important for us."Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is an one-time thing. Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas.Keys:(1)signs(2)warmer temperatures(3)warmest(4)snow(5)attracts(6)trouble(7)normal(8)season(9)one-time(10)whiteTask 2:Talk after viewingScriptThe image of Santa Claus flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide, and Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols.But if the weather at Santa's home town were to become so warm that there was no more snow at Christmas, Santa Claus would lose his charm.So snow is really important for Santa Claus, for his home town's Christmas tourism, and its winter tourism as winter is the best season in Santa's home town.Unit 2 testPart IKeys: 1.C 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.DPart II(1)chemicals(2)atmosphere(3)particles(4)trapped(5)lasts(6)human-based(7)progressed(8)Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere(9)Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings(10)Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problemsPart III1.A2.C3.D4.C5.BPart IV1.B2.C3.D4.C5.C6.A7.D8.D9.B 10.CUint 3Culture makes me what I amTask 1:On the first dayCollectivism Individualism Individualism CollectivismII.

Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay.Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.But they usually don't try that at work.American lifestyles show how much peoplerespect the time of others.When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance.Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just "drop in" unannounced.Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed. The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules.In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it.Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle.The rhythm of nature—from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon—shapes their view of events.If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle.But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity.They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."Keys:1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our personal spaceScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia, generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what。

Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:Hi, everybody. My topic today is "Problems with our educational system".I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened fora long time in our educational system.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students' abilities and interest in other areas.I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in cators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.I think being well-rounded isn't really possible.And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if they,you know, haven't scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'.And they're very aware of their social position, you know.I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.They're just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse.

"Cool," they all thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, "this is going to be easy."Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: "Which of the tires was flat?"Keys:(1)course(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare(9)placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper(10)On the second page was a question worthTask3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of higher learning in the United States.Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members.Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many NobelPrize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities,but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education.It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships,and expanded Harvard's physical facilities.NeiI L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard's 26th president in 1991.As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university's schools and faculties,Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard's main intellectual priorities.He also stressed the importance of the university's excellence in undergraduate education,the significance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.

C 4.D 5.DViewing and speaking:Task 1:University budget cutsScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins me from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts... tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education?Interviewee: Well, I think it's important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than ever before in our history.But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant. And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan...Host:But there's going to be less money next year. That's the bottom line, isn't it?Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant.That's 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion. Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they're,you know, it's a lot more than one percent that they're, they're feeling.So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that.Host:And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn't it?Interviewee:Well, we, we, we... It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates.We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last few years we've been growing the number of foundation degree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into highuniversity and high level skills.That's what we want to support and that's what we're indicating in the grant letter that we've sent to universities over the last few days.Host:OK.

Um... more now than before.Martha:What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in the world today?Ed: Today... I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Um... through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that.Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school?Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems from occurring.Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be?Ed: A new law for the environment? Um... I'd probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it's just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.Martha: That's a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect the environment?Ed: I'm so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I get really angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.

If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increase considerably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up all the oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals. Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers.A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3: Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percentin the next 10 years.Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, "The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power." Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August."We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020," Director Zhang said. At present, non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent. China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people's income, and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.CIV.

Two speakers hold a negative attitude toward the world climate conference.Task 3:Let's group work!Developed countries should bear more responsibilities.First, they caused most of the world pollution in their industrialization process.Second, they are already economically advanced, with more funds to deal with pollution problems.On the other hand, developing countries caused less pollution in the past, and now they need rapid development.Therefore, an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 stipulated common but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing nations, which means that both should be responsible for environmental protection and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but the former must take more responsibility.Recently, however, some wealthy countries have insisted that developing countries like China should shoulder more responsibilities.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: The environment and the developmentScript:Li:Hi, Professor Wang.I'm Li Lin, a correspondent for the university newspaper.The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and economic development.What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time?Wang: There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, overfishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid rain, overconsumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, growing number of people and governments have adopted the new idea of "sustainable development". This means today's economic growth should not wipe out the resources and options for future generations. Planning and development should ensure not only economic growth, but also social advancement and environmental health. In other words, some economic behavior must be restricted or controlled. Instilling principles of sustainable development into government planning, resource management and economic policy is the most important step China can take to solve its environmental problems. China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment. For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, the government banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in order to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.Still, the basic contradiction between the environment and development persists. Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balance between economic growth and the environment.Keys:(1)water pollution(2)overconsumption(3)economic growth(4)resources(5)social advancement(6)restricted(7)government planning(8)economic policy(9)remarkable steps(10)balanceTask 2: Thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia ScriptA United Nations study says a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia threatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early death. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries, and power stations.Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves has made the problem worse.Many poor people burn fuels like wood and animal waste in such stoves. Scientists say the cloud of pollution appears to cool the land and oceans by blocking sunlight.They say it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by as much as 15 percent.At the same time, heat inside the cloud warms the lower parts of the atmosphere.Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall.This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health. Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next 30 years as the population of Asia increases to an estimated 5,000 million people.Keys:1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.CTask3: Mountain regions face a number of dangersScriptMountain people around the world are in great danger of the negativeeffects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world's remotest regions increase.The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world's people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they were like 60 years ago.This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture.The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.Biological losses are expected to be heavy.The mountains of Europe, parts of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people. These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work.Keys:(1)negative(2)report(3)warming(4)pressures(5)mountainous(6)barely(7)make way for(8)expect 98 percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055(9)The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountainareas(10)Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year Viewing and speaking:Task 1:Santa's home town in dangerScriptWeather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are signs that Santa's home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures. The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its warmest winter in 40 years. As a result, there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen, no snowballs, and possibly not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.More important for local residents, it may mean fewer tourists, as well. Santa's wintry home town normally attracts thousands of visitors each year, and millions of dollars.Anne Pelttari-Bergman, the town's tourist director, worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal.She explains: "Snow is really important for us, of course, for Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism, and also for our winter tourism because winter is our best season. It is really important for us."Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is an one-time thing. Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas.Keys:(1)signs(2)warmer temperatures(3)warmest(4)snow(5)attracts(6)trouble(7)normal(8)season(9)one-time(10)whiteTask 2:Talk after viewingScriptThe image of Santa Claus flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide, and Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols.But if the weather at Santa's home town were to become so warm that there was no more snow at Christmas, Santa Claus would lose his charm.So snow is really important for Santa Claus, for his home town's Christmas tourism, and its winter tourism as winter is the best season in Santa's home town.Unit 2 testPart IKeys: 1.C 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.DPart II(1)chemicals(2)atmosphere(3)particles(4)trapped(5)lasts(6)human-based(7)progressed(8)Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere(9)Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings(10)Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problemsPart III1.A2.C3.D4.C5.BPart IV1.B2.C3.D4.C5.C6.A7.D8.D9.B 10.CUint 3Culture makes me what I amTask 1:On the first dayCollectivism Individualism Individualism CollectivismII.

Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time.Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay.Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time.At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.But they usually don't try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just "drop in" unannounced.Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed.The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules.In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it.Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle.The rhythm of nature—from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon—shapes their view of events.If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle.But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity.They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."Keys:1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.DTask 2: Our personal spaceScriptOur personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.。

Its (S1) were in the teaching of the Christian Puritans who first settled in (S2) is now the northeastern state ofMassachusetts. They believed that it was their (S3) duty to work at every task to please God by their (S4), honesty, attention to details, skill, and attitude. To these Puritans, it was a (S5) to be lazy or to do less than your best in any task. They and later Americans tried to follow the Bible’s (S6) , “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.”Therefore, Americans have for (S7) believed that they were guilty of sin if they did not work as carefully and hard as they could when they did anything. God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. (S8).But some people have gone beyond the usual sense of diligence. They are especially attracted to the notion of “climbing the ladder” so as to increase their status, financial position, and sense of self-worth. (S9). The word “workaholic” describ es an individual who is as addicted to work as an alcoholic is to alcohol.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics. Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally.(S10).
