CD1.1Der letzte gemainsame Urlaub.Familie Funkel,Herr und Frau Funkel,Andreas(19) undEva(18).Haben sich zu einen Gespräch verabredet,um ihren wahrscheilich letzten gemainsame Urlaub zu klang.Eva stehet kurz vor dem Abitur und Adreas geht in eine andere Stadt,um zu studieren.--Also,ich fang´mal an.Ich möchte ja niemandem die Illusionen nehmen,aber,ich finde,am besten bleiben wir hier zu Hause.--Nirgends haben wir es so gut.--Einerseits ist es hier ganz ruhig,andererseits gibt es so viele Interessantes ganz in derNähe.Wir könnten jede Menge Ausflüge machen.--Also entschuldige,wenn ich dich unterbreche.Aber das ist ja wohl kein Urlaub.--Genau,Couchpotato.--Ihr habt eben keine Fantasie.Ihr meint immer,man müsste irgendwohin,weit weg.Überall wäre es besser als da,wo man gerade ist.--Jetzt mach´ dich ja nicht lustig.--Moment ss uns doch nicht gleich streiten.Jeder sollte erst mal seinen V orschlag machen,und dann sehen wir weiter.--Gute Idee!Mama,willst du nicht vieleicht mal anfangen?--Wenn ihr meint.Also,ich hatte mir so eine Artwellnessurlaub vorgestellt.Ich hatte die letzte Zeit so viel Stress.Ich brauche echt Erholung.Ein schönes Hotel mit Sauna und Schwimmbad,vieleicht in Süddeutschland.Da kann man auch viel unternehmen,wandern,Rad fahren,interesssante Ausflüge.Ich habe sogar schön einige Adressen hier...--Jetzt aber ss erst mal die anderen hören.Ich habe ja nicht so lange geredet.--Ok,ok.Also, Eva,was schwebt dir denn so vor?--Ja,ich würde am liebsten mit dem Zelt nach Südfrankreich.--Um Gottes willen.--Pesiiiiiit,Eva ist dran.--Was hast du denn gegen zelten,Mama?Das ist doch auch super erholsam.Man ist immer draußen...--Uns friert saumäßig!--Mann,lass mich doch mal ausreden.Mit den modernen Isomatten,schlafsäcken und dem ganzen Kram ist doch gar kein Problem mehr.Wir würden viel Geld für die Unterkunft sparen und könnten dafür eine ganze Menge unternehmen.--Das hat was für sich.--Finde ich auch.Zelten wäre wirklich nicht schlecht,obwohl ich am liebsten einen Abenteuerurlaub machen würde.--Oh,ich ahne Böses.--Na,ich auch.--Seid doch nicht so langweilig.Es gibt doch jede Menge Arten von Abenteuerurlaub.Es muss ja nicht gleich der Amazonas sein.--Darf ich noch mal auf Kleinigkeit hinweisen.Mit der nötigen Kreativität kann man auch von zu Hause aus Abenteuer erleben.Wir könnten z.B...--So geht’s nicht weiter.So einigen wir uns nie.Schlagt mal was vor,wie konstruktiver weiterkommen!CD1.2--Am besten ich fange an,weil ich wenig Zeit habe.Wir überlegen jetzt schon so lange,wirmüssen endlich vorwärts kommen.--Ja,ok ok.Mach mal halblang,ja!Willst du wieder Kommandantin spielen?--Streitet euch doch nicht schon am Anfang!Susanne,also,was sind deine V orstellungen?--Na,ich denke,wir sollten nach Rom fahren.Diese Stadt muss man unbedingt gesehen haben.Außerdem...--Da ist es doch jetzt schon viel zu heiß.Im Hochsommer macht man doch keine Städtereisen. --Würdest du mich mal ausreden lassen?Also Rom wäre außerdem günstig,weil ich dort Freunde habe,die etwas außerhalb wohnen,und bei denen könnten wir unterkommen.--Noch schlimmer!Außerhalb,dann sitzen wir stundenlang irgendwelchen heißen,stinkenden Verkehrsmitteln.--Also wirklich Carla.Unterbrich doch nicht immer und sei nicht so destruktiv.--Na ja.Das W ichtigste habe ich ja schon gesagt.--Also,ich will eigentlich nach Frankreich-in die Bretagne,aber Rom wäre auch keine schlechte Idee.Was meinst du,Jens?--Uh,ich denke,wir sollten eigentlich Wandern,also raus in die Natur und bisschen Bewegung.Wir sitzen doch sowieso viel zu viel während des Semesters rum.--Wandern,oh Gott oh Gott.Stundenlang durch den Wald latschen-wie lanweilig!In Rom... --Jetzt unterbrichst du.--Oh,schon gut.--Also,ich finde,wir sollten in einer Gegend wandern,wo wir auch zu schönen Städten kommen,die wir dann besichtigen können.Ich denke da z.B an die Provence.Was meint ihr`? --Das ist schon besser.Südfrankreich,aber es muss am Meer sein.Ich will unbedingt relaxen.Sonne,Strand,Wasser...--Was heißt denn”es muss”,”ich will”,du willst dich noch nur nicht anstrengen.--Eben.--Seid doch mal still.Ich finde die Idee von Jens gut.Da kämen wir alle auf unsere kosten.Wir müssten ja auch nicht immer alles zusammen unternehmen.--Na ja.Eigentlich ist die Provence keine schlecht Idee,aber ich kümmere mich auf keinen Fall um die V orbreitungen.--Ja,toll!Also ehrlich!Klar!CD1.3--Habt ihr was dasgegen,wenn ich anfangen?Ich muss leider gleich noch weg.Mein Ferienjob im Biergarten.Also,wir überlegen ja schon sehr ziemlich lange und sollten versuchen,dass wir heute zu einer Einigung kommen,okay?--Okay,klar!Dann los.--Wie wär´s,wenn wir nach Rom fahren würden?Diese Stadt hat mich schon immer fazinert.Es gibt so viel zu sehen.Außerdem...--Entschuldige,wenn ich dich unterbreche.Ist es dort jetzt nicht ziemlich heiß?Ich vertrage Hitze nicht so gut.--Das kann ich gut verstehen.Andererseits wäre Rom günstig weil ich dort Freunde habe,die etwas außerhalb wohnen und denen wir unterkommen könnten.--Sei nicht böse wenn ich dich noch mal unterbreche.Es wäre natürlich super,wenn wir umsonst wohnen könnten,aber verlieren wir nicht sehr viel Zeit,um in die Stadt zu kommen? --Dein Einwand ist sicher berechtigt,aber...--Entschuldigung,Susanne,wärest du damit einverstanden,wenn die anderen jetzt erst einmal ihre V orschläge vortragen würden?--Klar,das Wichtigste habe ich ja schon gesagt.Wohin möchtest du denn?--Also ich würde eigentlich gern nach Frankreich-vieleicht in die Bretagne,aber Rom wäre auch keine schlechte Idee.Was meinst du Jens?--Na,ich würde am liebsten wandern-raus in die Natur und Bewegung.Wir sitzen doch sowieso viel zu viel während des Semesters,also wär` Wandern schon deshalboptimal.Außerdem....--Entschuldige wenn ich dich widerspreche.Aber Wandern ist nicht gerade mein Hobby.Als Kind musste ich mit meinen Eltern immer stundenlang durch den Waldlatschen,stinklangweilig.In Rom...--Sorry,Susanne,Jens ist dran.--`tschuldigung.--Wir könnten zum Beispiel in einer Gegend wandern gehen,wo wir auch zu schönen Städten kommen,die wir dann besichtigen können.Ich denke da zum Beispiel,an die Provence.Was meint ihr?--Das würde mir schon sehr viel besser gefallen.Wäre es nicht möglich,das wir irgendendwohin fahren,wo das Meer in der Nähe ist?Ich möchte so gerne mal richtig relaxen,Sonne,Strand,Wasser...--Wenn ich dich richtig verstehen,möchtest du nichts A nstrengendes machen,wie Stadtbesichtigung oder Wandern?--Genau,aber...--Entschuldige Carla.Eigentlich ist die Idee von Jens doch sehr gut.Wir könnten eine Unterkunft mit einem schönen Pool suchen.Von dort aus könnten wir unsere Ausflüge machen.Dann kämen alle auf ihre Kosten.Außerdem müssten wir ja nicht immer alles zusammen unternehmen.--Ich glaube auch,die Provence ist keine schlecht Idee.Alledings ,ein kleines Problem habe ich noch.Seid mir bitte nicht böse wenn ich mich nicht an den V orbereitungen beteiligenkann.Mein Ferienjob ist mega anstrengend,manchmal geht es bis 3 Uhr morgens,und vormittags muss ich noch meine Hausaufgabe fertig kriegen,aber ich kann dann mehr im Urlaub übernehmen.--Ok,kein Problem.CD1.4Bei mir ging`s schon als Kind los mit dem umziehen.Meine Eltern waren im Auswärtigen Dienst,dafür versteht sich´ ja von selbst,dass man immer mal wieder in ein anders Land muss.Dann kamen das Studium,AuslandsPraktika und schließlich die Jobs.Da muss man halt hingegen,wo´s war Gutes gibt.Die Ortswechsel sind aber immer gut gelaufen,weil ich mich sehr schnell einleben kann.Auch in Hamburg habe ich mich sehr schnell aufgehobengeflüt.Meine Kollegen haben mir das gefühl gegeben,dazuzugehören.Es war immer jemand da,den ich anrufen konnte,oder wo ich einfach mal vorbeikommen konnte.Wir sind oft zusammen durch die Stadt gezogen,sind essen oder ins Kino gegangen,und einmal sind wir auch ans Meer gefahren.Meine Beziehung zu meinem Freund auf die Entfernung aufrechtzuhalten,ist auch ganz gut gelungen,wenn es auch immer leicht war.Die Wochenenden waren einfach extreme kurz.Das ist schon sehr schwierig,das hält man auf die Dauer nicht gut aus.Hätten wir zwischendurch nicht schon drei Jahre zusammengewohnt und immer wieder die Möglichkeit gehabt,und über längere Zeit zu sehen.Ich glaube,es wäre nicht gut gegangen.Durch die vielen Umzüge gibt es natürlich kaum noch ganz alte Freunde aus der Schulzeit.Aber die Leute,die mir wirklich wichtig sind,mit denen habe ich immer noch sehr engen kontakt.Das sind drei Freunde aus meiner Schul und Studienzeit und natürlich mein Freund.Die laufen mir auch nicht weg,selbst wenn ich weiß Gott wohin ziehen würde.Es ist faszinierend und toll,so viele Orte und Menschen kennen lernen zu können,aber auch sehr anstrengend.Daher bin ich jetzt echt froh,dass ich vorerst nicht umziehen muss.Jetzt will ich einfach erst emal richtig ankommen.CD1.5--Hallo,Peter,hier ist Marion.--Hallo,Marion.dass du dich meldest.Wie geht´s?Was hast du denn heute gemacht?--Ich bin ....gefarhen.--Eh,wir bitte?--Ich bin ... ans Meer gefarhen.--Entschuldigen,ich verstehe dich ganz schlecht.--Ich bin heute ... ans Meer gefarhen.--Noch mal.Mit wem bist du heute ans Meer gefarhen?--Ich bin heute mit meinen Freunden ans Meer gefarhen.--Ach so.Okay.Aber die verbindung ist sehr schlecht.Ruf mich nacher an,wenn du wieder zu Hause bist.--In Ordnung,schüss!CD1.6Klopf,Klopf,liebes Pärchen-ein Interview.Eine Journalistin ist durch die Neuen Bundsländer gefarhen und hat dort Menschen interviewt,die sich mit verschiedenen Geschäftsidee selbstständig gemacht haben.Sie hören ein Interview mit Waltraud Jahnke,65,die in Prerow auf der Halbinsel Fischland-Darß- Zingst Strandkörbe vermietet.--Wie sind Sie eigentlich auf diese Geschäftsidee gekommen?--Mit 5 Strandkörben haben wir angefangen.Mein Man und ich,jetzt haben wir 35 und sind im zehnten Sommer mit unserem Verleih.Dem Umgang mit Gästen sind wir gewohnt,zuDDR-Zeiten haben wir hier ein Ferienheim vom Freien Deutschen Gewerkschaftsbund geleitet.Da kam die wende,ich war am Infostand der Kurverwaltung,und ja,irgendwann ist mir dann aufgefallen,dass es an diesem Strandabschnitt hier immer zu wenige Körbe gab.Das ließunseren Geschäftssinn erwachen,und wir haben unseren eigenen Verleih aufgemacht.--Strandkörbe.Sind die nicht typisch für Deutsch.Wie sind sie eigentlich entstanden?--Natürlich haben wir uns erkundigt über die Geschichte des Korbs,man will schließlich antworten können,falls mal einer fragt.Also der Korb ist für eine Dame erfunden worden,die war wohl rheumakrank und wollte trotzdem gern am Meer sitzen-im Schatten und windgeschüzt.Ein gewisser Wilhelm Bartelmann,der war Korbmacher,hat ihr dann den ersten Strandkorb geflochten.Das war um 1880 herum.Wir selbst haben hier das Modell Prince stehen.Sehen doch hübsch aus unser Körbe.So ganz in Rot.Nicht?--Ja.--Klar,Kinder mögen das besonders.700 Mark hat seinerzeit ein Stück gekostet.Ich habe den Prospekt der Firmal mitgebracht.Mal schauen,was da steht:roteskunststoffgeflecht,herausklappbare Markise,Sitz und Rückenfläche in schwerer Dralonqualität oder in plastifiziertem Material.Dazu zwei Seitentische imklusive Ascher.Stimmt.--Sind die Strandkörbe nicht ziemlich schwer?Schaffen Sie das?--Sehen Sie die blauen Flecken an meine Armen.Das kommt vom hin- und herwuchten.Mein Mann ist leider krank im Moment.Manchmal helfen die Gäste,die meisten sind sehrnett,wirklich.Manche kommen jedes Jahr und einigen immer mit dem gleichen Wunsch:Wir wollen wieder die Nummer 9.--Unsere Körbe sind nummeriert,das machen wir dann natürlich möglich.Die mit Kindern wollen meitstens Wasserblick,da können die Kleinen spielen und man hat sie im Auge.Dann gibt es auch die Dünengucker,denen ist nach Ruhe.Und mal ehrlich,es gibt nichts Schöneres als hier so zu sitzen,ein Kreuzworträtsel zu lösen und Wolken und Vögel anzuschauen.Mache ich oft selbst,mein Büro ist die Nummer 3.Thermoskanne nehme ich mit an denStrand,Proviant auch.--Gibt es manchmal Probleme mit dem Vermieten?--Es gibt natürlich auch Leute,die wollen keine 5.5 Euro für einen Korb ausgeben,suchen aber einen Windschutz und setzen sich so dicht an den Korb,dass da keiner mehr rein will.Da gibt es schon manchmal Diskussion,manche werden richtig boshaft,aber ich sage mir dann immer:Waltreud,dreh dich um,zähl bis zehn und schluck den Ärger runter.Zur Hochsaison kommen dann die Ferienfamilien,und ich kann schon daran erkennen,wie die den Strand runterkommen,ob sie nach einen Korb fragen oder nicht.Die mit Decke und Windschutz unterm Arm nicht,aber manchmal rennen die Kinder vorneweg undrufen:Strandkorb,Strandkorb.Das klappt dann meistens.Andere wollen auch aminiert werden von mir,“ein en Korb,warum eigentlich nicht“,heißt es dann.Mit dem einen oder anderen ergibt sich auch oft ein kleines Gespräch.Nur bei Liebespaaren bin ich vorsichtig.Wenn ich mich denen nähere,rufe ich schon von weitem ganz laut:“Klopf,Klopf“.CD1.7-1.12Alles,was man mit Liebe betrachtet,ist schön.Schönheit bedeutet selbstbewusst sein,nachdem wir streben sollten.Schönheit ist,was von dem Natur abweicht.Schönheit liegt im Auge des Betrachters.Schönheit ist nach drei Tage genauso lanweilig wie Tugend.Wer schön sein will,muss leiden.CD1.13-Guten Abend,meine Damen und Herrn.Willkommen zu unsere weichendlichen Psychologtion Gespräch.Wir haben heute die Psychologin Andrea Bauer zu Gast,die sich seit Jahren mit dem Themen …Schönheitsideal“ und …Schönheitskult “beschäftigt.Danke,Frau Bauer,dass Sie Zeit gefunden haben.-Selbstständlich.-Frau Bauer.Für immer mehr Menschen scheint Schönheits zu eine Opposition zu werden.Sie und andere Expertin sprechen sogar von eine Schönheitskult,was meinen Sie damit?-Zuerst einmal stellt sich die Frage was für als Schön gezeichnen.Eine Definition von Schön ist schwierig,wenn nicht unmöglich,denn Schönheit bedeutet für jeden von uns etwas anderes.Aber eines sagt,in der heutigen Zeit werden die Normen für Schönheit von Fernsehstars und Models definiert.Diese Leute bestimmt ganz klar unser Schönheitsideal,ob wir das nun oder nicht.- Kann man also von eine Schönheitskult oder eine Schönheitwahn sprechen?-Ich würde in diesem Zusammenhang nicht von einem …Wahn“ sprechen.Aber er ist doch sodass viele Menschen von der Idee,nahezu besessen sind schöne und perfekt Aussehen zu müssen.Dabei haben die Meist ein färliches falsches Bild von Ihrem Aussehen.Man sollten diesen Trend jeden Falls kritisch hinterfragen,denn die entscheidende Frage,die wir uns stellen müssen,ist doch,mach dieses Streben nach Schönheit die Menschen tatsicherlichglücklich.Das würde ich bezweifeln.-Warum streben wir überhaupt nach Schönheit?--Ehn,ganz einfach.Schöne Menschen besitzen ein höheren gesellschaftlichenStadttolls.Aufgrund ihre Schönheit werden schöne Menschen alsvertrauenswürdiger,intelligender und sympathischer angesehen.Man befindet sich nur mal gerne die Gesellschaft von schöner Menschen.CD1.14-Um,da wäre ich mir nicht so sicher,also ich zum Beispiel fühle mich unter laut perfekt Menschen alles anderes als wohl.Aber gut,was würden Sie raten,wie können wir lernen und von diesem Schönheitsideal zu lösen.-Wenn Sie mich fragen,ich kann nur immer wieder betonen.Man muss dafür sorgen,dass man einige massen zu frieden Leben ist.Wenn man sich wohl fühlt,strachtet man das aus.Und jede Mensch besitzt eine bestimmt Form von Schönheit.Auch wenn diese vieleicht eine Andere ist als die Erwendt Modenschönheit.Letzt endlich kommen das auf dem Type an.-Aber man empfindet dem eigenen Type nicht immer attraktive,also ich könnte

朗文英语听说教程1-听力材料(学长整理word完整版)
Unit 1 HappinessPart 1Teacher: Hi, good morning. Did you hear about the lottery winner last night? The man won…what?… Two million dollars…?Student: No, three.Teacher: Three million dollars? Three million. That’s a lot of money isn’t it? Do you think that three million dollars would make you happy? …I’m asking you this because when you ask people what they need to be happy, many people will answer “more money!” We assume that money will make us happier. But is this true? Will winning the lottery help you achieve happiness?Today we’re going to look at the idea of happiness, at the psychology of happiness---what makes some people happier than others. We’ll look at three personality factors that we find in happy people. To find out about these personality factors, psychologists talked to hundreds of people. Now, first, they asked the people how happy they felt---you know, from “very happy”to “not happy at all.”Then they asked some more questions. They wanted to find out about people’s personalities, such as their attitudes about life, and so on. They looked at the differences between happy people and unhappy people. They found three factors that are very important for achieving happiness. So… let’s look at those factors now.The first personality factor is that happy people are… satisfied with themselves. This means that they like themselves as they are, and they’re happy with what they have. Happy people may not like everything about their lives---they may be a little bit overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they don’t need to change those things to be happy. They think more about the things they are satisfied with, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside.Part 2Teacher: So…happy people feel satisfied with themselves. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves. They…uh…feel that something must change so they can be happy. They think if they lose some weight or get a better job or a nicer house they will be happy. They are always looking for something outside themselves to make them happy. But the problem is---they never find it! No matter what they get, they’re still dissatisfied and unhappy.The second personality factor is that happy people are optimistic---they look at the positive side of life, not the negative. Now, we all have problems, whether we’re happy or not. But when happy people have problems, they assume that things will improve. They don’t worry a lot and think about all the bad things that can happen. Instead, they have a positive attitude. However, unhappy people are the opposite. They are not optimistic and don’t have a positive attitude. When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that it’ll get worse. So they make themselves even more unhappy when think about all the bad things that might happen.Finally, the third personality factor is that happy people have good relationships with other people. They try to have close, loving relationships with friends and family. Studies show that close, loving relationships are one of the most important factors in achieving happiness. So happy people don’t spend all their time building their careers or trying to make money. They also spend time building relationships with friends and family. Now, on the other hand, unhappy people don’t have as many close relationships. They may have trouble making friends. Or they may spend all their time working and then find that they’re very lonely and unhappy. But for whatever reason, they don’t have close relationships and this makes them unhappy.So…what does this tell us? Well, if you want to be happier, don’t assume that winning the lottery will help. There are other, more important factors for achieving happiness. Now, let’s take a break, and when we come back we’ll talk more about the factors that make a person happy…Unit 2 New Kinds of FoodPart 1Teacher: Hi, everybody…how’s it going?…Good…..Has everyone turned in their homework? All right, then let’s get started. If you remember, last week we were discussing some research in the area of genetics. Today, I’d like to talk about something I’m sure you’ve all heard about---genetically modified or “GM” food. Genetically modified food is food---either a plant or animal---that has been altered in the laboratory by scientists. The scientists take something from one plant or animal, and add it to a different plant or animal to make it grow in a different way. Today, we’ll look at some of the benefits, and the possible risks, of genetically modified food.Let’s start with a discussion of some of the benefits of GM food. Genetic scientists are really trying to make food plants that are better than normal plants, to make plants that are altered in ways that make the plant grow better or taste better or be healthier to eat than normal plants.One benefit is that genetically modified plants may need fewer pesticides than normal plants. For example, there is a type of corn that is bad for insects---when the insects eat the corn plant, they die. However, the corn doesn’t hurt people. This type of corn is beneficial because farmers use fewer pesticides to grow the corn, and so there is less pollution in the environment. Also the corn is less expensive because the farmers don’t have to spend a lot of money on pesticides. So, by using fewer pesticides, the corn is cheaper and the environment is cleaner.Another benefit of genetically modified plants is that they may grow better that normal plants. One example is a type of genetically modified strawberry that can grow in cold weather. These are better than normal strawberries because farmers can plant the strawberries earlier in the spring and later in the fall, when normal strawberries usually die. So, as a result, farmers can grow many more strawberries than they used to. So that’s another benefit--- plants that grow better.Finally, a third benefit is that many genetically modified plants stay fresh longer after they are harvested. So, for example, there is a kind of tomato that stays fresh in the store for about two months, instead of one or two weeks. This means that there is more time to get the food to the stores and that stores have more time to sell the food. Less food is thrown away and wasted. So it’s a great benefit to have food that stays fresh longer---and we can consume more of the food we grow.Part 2Teacher: Now that we’ve looked at some of the benefits of genetically modified plants, let’s talk about the risks of growing this type of food. We don’t really know what the harmful effects are, but there are several things that people are worried about.One risk is that the genetically modified plants may start to dominate the other wild plants in the environment. This is a problem with some types of tomatoes, for example. The new tomato plants are stronger than normal plants, and because they are stronger and grow faster than the wild plants, the genetically modified tomatoes may start to dominate the environment, causing the wild plantsto die. So having one plant dominate all the other plants isn’t good for the environment.Another risk is that genetically modified plants will hurt wild animals and insects in the environment. For example, the genetically modified corn I mentioned earlier has already caused this problem. Now some butterflies that live near the corn are dying---butterflies that are good insects, and don’t eat the corn. It’s possible that corn is killing the butterflies somehow, but we’re not sure. We just know that more butterflies are dying than normal. But clearly there’s a risk that genetically modified foods can hurt animals and insects in the environment.But probably the most important risk is that genetically modified food may be harmful to the people who consume the food. The alterations in the plants may cause serious problems for people---we just don’t know. Scientists are trying all kinds of new things, such as putting the genes from animals into a plant. For example, to make a fruit like strawberries stay fresh longer, scientists took a gene from a fish---a gene that helps the fish live in cold water---and put that into a strawberry. Will that strawberry be harmful to people? We don’t know. But it may be.So it’s clear that there are some important benefits to genetically modified food but also some risks---risks that a lot of people aren’t willing to take. So let’s stop here and discuss any questions you have at this point…Unit 3 Public ArtPart 1Teacher: Good morning, everybody. I hope you all enjoyed our trip to the art museum last week. Today we’re going to talk…uh…more about modern art. We’ll…uh…take a look at some examples of public art---art you can only find outdoors…uh…in public places. I’ll explain the purpose of public art, and …uh…then I’ll describe some examples of public art that illustrate three common types of modern art: pop art, realism, and surrealism.But first, public art….These days public art is becoming more and more popular. Many business and city leaders are putting up art in public places---in parks and gardens, near office buildings, and so on. Cities like to put art in public places for a couple of reasons. First of all, art helps to make our cities look more beautiful and interesting. Also, when art is outdoors, many people can look at it and enjoy it every day; they don’t have to go to a museum. So having art in public places lets more people enjoy art every day.Now, I’m going to move on to some examples of public art. Here’s our first example---a silver spoon and a red cherry. This piece is huge: it’s twenty-nine feet wide and over fifty feet long! It’s made of metal---steel and aluminum. It’s painted silver and bright red to look like a spoon with a red cherry on it. The sculpture is a good example of pop art. Pop artists like to make art that shows popular things---things people see in their everyday lives. This artist likes to take common objects, like food, and make them into huge sculptures. So what do you think about it? Anyone?Student 1: I think it’s great! It’s really unusual. I like it because it’s simple and easy to understand.Teacher: Yes, that’s why many people like pop art. Any other opinions? Yes…Mark?Student 2: Well, I think it’s OK, but I …I think art that is out in public should be something important, something that’s very beautiful or that means something. It should n’t just be…just some everyday thing, like…a spoon.Teacher: Interesting point. So you can see that one problem with public art is that people interpret the purpose differently---they disagree about what it should look like or mean. And some people may like or understand a piece of art, while other people may not like it at all.Part 2Teacher: As I already mentioned, one purpose of public art is to add beauty to public places where everyone can enjoy it. But another purpose of art is to illustrate ideas or concepts---to show some kind of meaning. Instead of using words, artists can send messages through their art to people who see it. Sometimes, artists even use their art to promote their own beliefs. To give you some examples, here are a couple of sculptures that were made to promote the concept of peace. The first one is a large---about sixteen-foot tall---metal sculpture that shows a young woman on a horse. Notice how real and lifelike the features of the woman and the horse look. Because they are so realistic, we call this style of art realism. But the woman in this sculpture is actually a symbolfor peace. So in this example, the art is realistic and symbolizes a concept---the concept of peace.Any questions so far?…OK then. Let’s take a look at another sculpture that was made to promote the idea of peace. It’s also made of metal and looks like a gun. It’s a little smaller than the first example. It’s about six feet wide and thirteen feet long---huge for a gun. It looks just like a gun, until you notice that it is tied into a knot at the end. We all know that it is impossible to tie a gun into a knot, right? And so, because it’s impossible, this sculpture is a great example of surrealism. Also, as you know, a gun itself doesn’t symbolize peace. However, because the gun is tied into a knot and can’t be fired, it illustrates the concept of peace.And so, in these three examples, we can see how public art can be used to make our cities more beautiful and interesting, and we can see how public art can communicate ideas or concepts to people. Let’s take a break now, and when we come back we’ll look at some more examples of modern sculpture…Unit 4 Journey to AntarcticaPart 1Teacher: Good afternoon. Please take your seats. I have a lot to discuss today. Today I’m going to talk about one of the greatest adventures of the twentieth century---Ernest Shackleton’s trip to Antarctica. Now, there are other explorers who have been to Antarctica, but Shackleton’s trip is especially interesting because his goal was to be the first person to walk across the continent of Antarctica. Also, as you’ll find out, this trip was also special because of the problems and difficulties that Shackleton and his crew endured along the way. In fact---and this is interesting---Shackleton made his trip to Antarctica on a ship called the Endurance. It’s almost as if he somehow knew about the difficult events to come.Let’s begin in England. The Endurance left London in 1914 with a crew of twenty-nine men, sixty-nine sled dogs, and a cat. After stopping in Argentina, the ship proceeded to South Georgia, an island about 800 miles from Antarctica. Then, on December 5, 1914, the Endurance left South Georgia. And right away, the ship entered water that was filled with ice. However, despite the danger, Shackleton and his crew proceeded on their journey. Shackleton believed that they could reach the Antarctic continent despite the ice. He was wrong about this, however, and on January 18, 1915, as the Endurance approached Antarctica, it became stuck in the ice, it couldn’t go anywhere. The crew stayed on the ship, which floated along with the ice for more than ten months. During that time, the crew lived on the ship, although they could go down on the ice and walk around if it was not too cold.On October 27, 1915, Shackleton ordered the crew to leave the Endurance. They took food and other supplies (including three smaller boats) off the ship and set up camp on a large piece of floating ice. This turned out to be a good decision, because just a month later, they watched as their ship was crushed by the ice and sank under the water.Part 2Teacher: So…is everyone with me so far? Any questions? …OK, then let’s continue. For the next six months, the crew of the Endurance lived on the ice floating around the edge of Antarctica. They ate the food from the ship, but when that was gone, they hunted animals in the area and finally killed and ate their dogs. Finally, in April of 1916, the crew saw land. It was Elephant Island, which was about 100 miles away. They knew that the ice below them was getting thinner and might break at any time, so they decided to proceed to the island.So, on April 9, 1916, Shackleton and his crew got into the three small boats they rescued from the Endurance before it sank. They put all their supplies in the boats and began the journey to Elephant Island. It took them seven days to get there. The journey was terrible and they all almost died.So now the crew was on land, but there was no hope that they would be rescued form Elephant Island. It was too far away from anything. The nearest people were on South Georgia Island, over800 miles away. Despite the danger, Shackleton decided to go to South Georgia. He knew it was their only hope for rescue. So on April 24, 1916, Shackleton and five men left in one of the small boats to try to get to South Georgia. Twenty men stayed on Elephant Island.After seventeen days in stormy seas, Shackleton and his men reached South Georgia. But they weren’t finished yet---they had to walk for thirty-six hours to reach the whaling station. Finally, on May 20, they reached the whalers. But remember---Shackleton still had to rescue his men on Elephant Island. This took more than three months. Three ships tried to get to Elephant Island, but they couldn’t get there because of all the ice.Finally, on August 30,1916---twenty-two months after they left on their journey---Shackleton rescued his men. Amazingly, everyone on the island was alive and they were all rescued. It’s hard to believe, is n’t it? So, as you see, this is an important and interesting example of exploration from the last century.Now let’s take a look at some other famous explorers of the twentieth century…Unit 5 Violence on TelevisionPart 1Teacher: Hello, everyone. Are you ready to get started? …OK, today I’d like to continue our discussion of violence in the media by focusing on television---on TV violence and its impact on children. First I’ll discuss how much violence is on TV, and then we’ll talk about the impact of TV violence on children. There’s a lot of debate about this issue today because children watch a lot of TV, right?TV has a huge impact on children; kids today watch a lot of TV. In the U.S., almost all families have a TV---ninety-eight percent. Many families have more than one TV. Fifty-two percent of children have televisions in their bedrooms, so they can watch TV whenever they want. And how much TV does the average child watch each day? Can anyone guess?Student 1: Two hours?Teacher: OK, tha t’s one guess. Anyone else?Student 2: Four?Teacher: Yes. It’s about…about three to four hours of TV every day, or almost 1,500 hours a year. Now, compare that to the amount of time that kids spend in school each year, about 900 hours, and you can see that TV must have a big impact.Now, many people feel that children shows, such as cartoons, are much too violent. Some people even feel that the violence on television is teaching kids to be more violent. But is this true? Is there a link between the violence children see on TV and real violence? To answer this question, I want to focus on some of the research---research that has been done to assess the violence on television and how it affects children.To assess how much violence is on TV, research has focused on counting the number of acts of violence on TV in an average day. Now, this includes any act that could hurt or kill people in real life. Surprisingly, cartoons for children have the most violence---more than many shows for adults. Cartoons have an average of thirty-two violent acts per hour. So, thirty-two times every hour, one cartoon character hurts another character in some way. Well, you’ve seen this in cartoons, I’m sure. The characters hit each other on the head, or shoot each other---many different violent acts.Other kids shows have a lot of violence as well. For example, many kids shows have characters that fight each other---hit and kick and punch each other---so those are very violent as well.Part 2Teacher: So, by counting all these acts of violence, we can estimate that by the time a child istwelve, he or she will have seen an average of about 100,000 acts of violence on television. That’s about thirty violent acts per day! But does the violence really cause children to act more violently? Well, that leads us to our second question: how do we assess the impact of TV violence on children?First, we’ll focus on some immediate effects of watching TV violence---what happens immediately after a child watches something violent on TV. In the first study we’ll look at today, a group of children saw a TV show of a child hitting and kicking a doll. Then, after they watched the video, each child was left alone in a room with the same type of doll. And guess what? All the children in this study---100 percent---hit and kicked the doll, just like they saw on TV. So the link here between what kids see and what they do seems quite strong.Another way to assess the effects of TV violence on children is to focus on the long-term effects---what happens many years after a child watches violent TV. Now let’s talk about the second study. In 1960, researchers studied eight-year-old children in a typical American city. They studied how much violent TV the children watched and whether the children acted violently at home or at school. Then, ten years later, they studied the same children at age eighteen. The researchers found that children who watched a lot of violent TV at age eight were more violent at age eighteen. Children who watched less violent TV were less violent at age eighteen. So this study suggests that there is a link between TV violence and real violence---that watching violent TV has long-term impact on these kids.So do these studies prove that TV violence causes children to be violent? Even with the research, many people still disagree about that. So, when we come back, we’ll talk more about the impact of TV violence…Unit 6 Too Old to Learn?Part 1Teacher: OK, everybody. Let’s get started. Today we’re going to talk about the critical period in language learning. But first I’d like to ask you a question: how many of you have tried to learn a new language as a teenager or as an adult?…Ah, I see, quite a few of you. Well, then I’m sure you agree that it’s much more difficult to learn a new language when we are grown than it was to learn your first language as a child, right? But do you know why it’s so much harder?…no idea? Well, linguists believe it’s because of the critical period of language development.The critical period is a theory that explains why it is easier for children to learn languages than for adults. That’s what I’d like to discuss today. But first, I’d like to start by defining the critical period…and I’ll give you some examples of a critical period in animals---in songbirds and cats. Then I’ll talk about evidence for a critical period for language learning in humans.So what exactly is a critical period? The idea of a critical period comes from the study of animals. We say that there’s a critical period---the only time---when the animal can learn a new skill. Now, the critical period starts in the first weeks or months of an animal’s life. During this time its brain is ready to learn new things. However, when the animal gets older, the critical period ends; it cannot learn any more. So there are skills that must be learned when the animal is young; if not, they can’t learn them as adults.Now, I’m going to move on to some examples. First, let’s take songbirds. A songbird learns to sing the first few months after it’s born by listening to its parents’ song and repeating it. The bird can only learn to do this when it’s a baby. An adult bird cannot learn to sing. So, if you remove the baby bird from its parents---so that it doesn’t hear the song---the bird just won’t learn to sing when it’s older. So there is a perfect example of a critical period.Take another example---cats. A kitten must learn to use its eyes in the first few weeks of its life. At first, the cat can’t see very well. But over time, it begins to use its eyes. However, if you remove all the light in the room so the cat grows up in the dark, it won’t be able to use its eyes. When the cat is an adult, it won’t be able to see well. So there is another critical period---when a cat must learn to see.Part 2Teacher: Now let’s look at the critical period for learning languages in humans. As you’ve probably noticed, children learn new languages much more easily and quickly than adults. But we don’t really know why.One theory is that there is a critical period for language learning. The theory is that people’s brains change when they’re adolescents and that these changes make it more difficult for adults to learn a new language than for children.Of course, adults can learn---many adults learn to speak a new language. They may not speak itperfectly, but they speak it very well, well enough to use the new language for daily life. So we’re not like adult songbirds, who can’t ever learn a new song. We can learn.That said, however, there is evidence for a critical period for learning to speak with a native accent. Somehow children can hear the different sounds better, and their mouth muscles can make the new sounds. In many cases, a child will speak a new language with no foreign accent at all.But generally, adults who learn a new language after adolescence speak with a foreign accent. They never learn to speak with a native accent, no matter how hard they try. It can be very frustrating. We may be able to hear the correct accent, but our mouths just can’t pronounce the sounds correctly. Have you ever felt this way? So, unfortunately, this shows that there may be a critical period when humans must learn to speak with a native accent.So we can conclude that there is a critical period when both animals and humans can learn certain things. For animals like birds and cats, they must learn to do things when they are still very young. Humans, on the other hand, can still learn some new things as adults, like languages, but it’s more difficult. Adult humans have a critical period for learning new accents.So that’s all for now. Let’s get into our discussion groups. Does everyone have a copy of the handout?Unit 7 Are We Alone?Part 1teacher: Hello, everyone. Is everyone here? Well, let’s get started. We were talking last time about the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe. So that’s where I want to pick up today. Today we’ll look at the SETI project---that’s the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. This is a project to look for signs of intelligent life on other planets in the universe.So,…first, why do we think there may be other intelligent life in the universe? Well, it’s because there are many, many other galaxies in the universe that could support life. We on earth, we are one planet going around one star. But our galaxy has approximately 400 billion other stars---stars that may have other planets where intelligent beings could live.And, throughout the universe, there are at least 100 billion—that’s 100 billion---other galaxies. So most scientists think that somewhere in these 100 billion galaxies, there must be other planets that are similar to our earth and that at least one of those planets has other intelligent beings. We just have to locate them.Now how does the SETI project search for life? The SETI project searches for life using large radio telescopes. These radio telescopes search for radio signals in space. They’re looking for signals that could be from other intelligent beings. We hope that somewhere there are intelligent beings who are looking for us, who are sending out a signal. Perhaps they are asking the same questions we ask: Are we alone? Is there anyone else out there?Now, in my opinion, this is some of the most exciting scientific research being done today. Why…why is it so exciting? Well, I think that locating other intelligent life—if and when this happens—will completely change how we think about ourselves and about the universe. Just imagine—knowing that there are other beings out there, that we are not alone. So I think this is one of the most interesting areas to investigate.Part 2Teacher: so the SERI project tries to locate intelligent beings in the universe by searching for radio signals from space. But why radio signals? Well, there are two reasons radio signals are better. First, they travel very quickly. Second, they have a long range—they can go very far into space.So how fast do radio signals travel? Well, they travel very quickly, at the speed of light. So, for example, the nearest galaxy, Alpha Centauri, is approximately 4.2 light years away. Traveling at the speed of light, it takes four years for a radio signal to reach us. On the other hand, the fastest rocket only travels about ten miles per second. At that speed, it would take 60,000 years to reach the Alpha Centauri galaxy. So radio signals are definitely faster.Now what is the range of radio signals? Well, they have a very long range—they could travel through several galaxies to reach Earth. Radio signals can also travel through space dust and other。

Test 1Part ⅠDICTATIONListen to the following passage. Altogether the passage will be read to you four times. During the first reading, which will be done at normal speed, listen and try to understand the meaning. For the second and third readings, the passage will be read sentence by sentence, or phrase by phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds. The last reading will be done at normal speed again and during this time you should check your work. You will then be given 1 minute to check through your work once more.Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE.Dictation:Mindless Eating Tied to Your EnvironmentMuch of our habitual eating is tied to habitual experiences. / A study showed that we consumed the food / not because of the taste but beca use of the experience. / When we’ve repeatedly eaten a particular food in a particular environment, / our brain comes to associate the food with that environment. / And this association makes us keep eating/ as long as those environmental cues are present. / Researchers proved this by taking a group of movie watchers/ who regularly consumed popcorn at the movies.Part II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALKGood morning, boys and girls. Today, we are going to talk about how to read faster when you are doing reading comprehension.Actually the only way to read faster is to read faster. This may sound like double talk, but it is a serious suggestion. The fact is that most people can read faster simply by making a conscious effort to do so.(1)The foll owing are some guidelines from the “Just Do It” school on speed reading.First, get your body ready. Get off the couch. Sit at a desk or table and sit up, on the edge of your chair, with your feet flat on the floor. When you feel your body ready to start the reading, breathe in and out deeply for several times.(2)Next, set a time e a clock or a digital watch with a built-in stopwatch to time yourself. The objective is not to set speed records, so be realistic. The idea is to give yourself a gentle push, increasing your reading speed without sacrificing comprehension.Another hint from the “Just Do It” school is to relax. (3)Relaxation promotes concentration. But remember, relaxation is not the same thing as sleep. So focus on the reading material and relax when you find it difficult to comprehend.(4)You may begin the experiment with the “Just do it” method right now.Read the reading comprehension material as fast as you can. After you finish, come back and reread the same paragraphs at your usual rate. Notice how much you remembered from your first sprint through.(5)You can also read faster by moving your eyes faster. When we read, our eyes leap acrossthe page in short bursts called speed-reading. Your eyes can move faster if they take in more words with each burst—six instead of three, for example.(6)When you’re in a hurry, scan the assignment and read the headings, subheading, lists, charts, graphs and summary paragraphs. By doing this, you get the general idea of the passage and then you may focus on the questions as well as the details.(7)Another way to read faster is not to vocalize. Obviously, you’re more likely to read faster if you don’t read aloud or move your lips. To stop doing it, just be aware of it.And also you may practice reading faster with simpler material at first. That way you can pay closer attention. A cautionary note about these techniques is that speed isn’t everything. (8)Skillful readers vary their reading rate according to their purpose and the nature of the material. You can also use different reading rates on the same materials. That is the method we should use in everyday English learning. When you comprehend the passage in our textbook, you may skim the passage to get the main idea and key words.(9)Then pay attention to the questions that follow, and focus on the answers where they appear in the passage.(10)Also you should pay attention to the difficult part of the passage.As you are practicing reading more and reading faster, you will surprisingly find you cannot only read faster, but also comprehend better. That is all for today’s lecture. Thanks for your attention.Reading FasterThe only way to read faster is to read faster, and it is a serious suggestion.I.Guidelines of ________(1)_______-------get your body ready-------set a _______(2)________-------relaxation _______(3)________ concentrationII.Concrete ways of reading faster1)______(4)_______ with “ Just Do It ”;2)Move your eyes ______(5)______;3)_______(6)_______ the assignment and read the headings, charts and so on;4)Avoid _______(7)________.III.Skill to improve the efficiency of reading1)Skillful readers ______(8)_______ reading rate according to their purpose and thenature of the material;2)Skim the passage for the key words and ideas;3)Pay attention to the _____(9)______ that follow, and focus on the answers appearingin the passage;4)Pay attention to the _______(10)_________ part of the passage.1.speed reading2.time limit3.promotes4.Experiment5.faster6.scan7.vocalizing8.vary9.questions10.difficultSECTION B CONVERSA TIONSIn this section you will hear two conversations. At the end of each conversation, five questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONL Y. After each question there will be a ten-second pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D, and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO. You have thirty seconds to preview the questions. Now listen to the conversations.Conversation OneW: The trip was pretty good except for the flat tire we got on the way home. I was going to change it myself but then...hey Dan, are you even listening to me? Dan?M: Oh sorry, I spaced out there for a second.W: Who were you looking at? Wait a second... you were looking at Julie!M: All right, I confess! I'm busted. I have a big crush on Julie.W: That's wonderful! Julie is a great woman, and you're a great guy! So have you asked her out yet?M: No. I'm not really sure it's appropriate.W: I think lots of people meet their “significant other” in the workplace. It's not like she's your boss. Go ask her out!M: I don't know. What if she says “no”?W: Have you ever heard the old expression “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”? What if she says “yes”?M: I've always had a really hard time approaching women. I get tongue-tied and start sweating. I don't want to come across as too aggressive, but I also don't want to appear too passive. It's really hard to get it right!W: If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that you never lose by trying. You never know unless you try! Getting rejected isn't the end of the world!M: But how do I make the initial approach? Should I try to come up with some clever or witty remarks?W: I suggest being sweet, straightforward and sincere.M: So what should I say?W: Tell the truth! Say, "Hi Julie, I was wondering if you'd be interested in going out this Saturday?I know a great sushi place."M: Just like that? Don't you think it will scare her?W: Both you and Julie are adults, and that's the way adults communicate with each other. If you're worried about being too direct, you should make it a group event and invite her along.M: The whole process just seems so scary.W: You know what's really scary? The idea that two people might be perfect for each other, but they're too afraid to talk to each other. What a waste!M: That's a good point.W: What's the worst thing that could happen?M: She rejects me.W: And is that so bad?M: No, I guess not. All right, I'm going to do it. I'm going to ask her out.This is the end of Conversation One.Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.1. What is the woman’s opinion on office love?A. It is not allowed.B. It is a common thing.C. It should be kept secret.D. It is popular with young people.2. Which is NOT mentioned as something that worries the man?A. Talking too much.B. Being too aggressive.C. Being too passive,D. Getting tongue-tied.3. Which is NOT the woman’s suggestion for the man?A. Being sweet.B. Being straightforward.C. Being sincere.D. Being generous.4. Why does the woman suggest the man invite Julie to a group event?A. To make a more exciting environment.B. To introduce more friends to JulieC. To avoid being too direct.D. To show his popularity.5. Why does the woman mention the possibility that Julie rejects the man?A. To ask the man to prepare for that.B. To tell the man failure is possible.C. To imply it is not an easy thing.D. To encourage the man to have a try.Conversation Two:W: Frank, we just got our sales figures in and the numbers are very disappointing. What's going on here?M: Maybe we should brainstorm some ideas for a radical reinvention of our sales and marketing plan.W: Yeah, let's do that right now. What do you think the problem is?M: Well, it seems our competitors have managed to carve a niche in the market. They are now perceived as more "cool" or trendy than we are. Perhaps we should consider getting some celebrity endorsements.W: That's not a bad idea.M: I'd also suggest we reevaluate our packaging. Right now the box we sell our product in seems a little drab and colorless.W: Yes, we could redesign our packaging. But on the other hand, there is a recent trend to move away from excessive packaging. You know, to help save the environment.M: That's another way we could go. We could reduce our packaging, and then advertise our environment-friendly business policies. Being “green” is definitely cool these d ays.W: What about our pricing? Are we competitive?M: Actually, we are roughly 15% more expensive than our closest competitors. But it's going to be hard to cut costs any further, seeing as we are already operating on a very slim margin.W: There're always ways to cut costs; we just have to think outside the box. Perhaps we should consider re-locating one of our factories to a more cost-efficient country.M: We can also talk to our vendors about where they place our products. Perhaps if they're placed in a more prominent location in stores, they'll catch the eye of more customers.W: Would it help if we offered a mega sale to clear out some of our inventory? We might not make a lot of money, but we might gain some brand awareness.M: That's a great idea. Getting people talking about our brand would be a big boost.W: Another idea is for us to reevaluate where we are spending our advertising dollar.M: Right now, we break it down between all the major media outlets. Television advertising gets 45% of our budget, 30% goes to print media, 20% goes to radio and 5% goes towards advertising online.W: I think we should boost our online advertising. Online ads are cheap and they can reach a much wider audience.M: All right, I'll ask the advertisement department to make the changes.W: If we can implement these new ideas by the end of this quarter, we might be able to reverse our sales slide and put ourselves in position for a major rebound to come next year.M: That would be great.This is the end of Conversation Two.Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.6.
