Unit 1Unit 1.mp3Listen to three speakers talking about their childhood plete the following chart with the information you hear.ScriptChildhood Hobbies Do you remember your favourite hobbies when you were a child?What do those mean to you?Luther,Sarah,and William are discussing their childhood hobbies.Luther:My hobby is stamp collecting.I started at the age of six,and I ’ve beencollecting stamps ever since.Stamps are tiny but amazing.They're miniature works of art,covering just about every subject you can think of.Sometimes stamps are worth more as they get older,and I guess that's one of the reasons they are treasured by many collectors.Sarah:When I was a little girl,my friends were fond of dolls or cartoons,but I just loved yard work.My house had a big yard,which I regarded as my fantasy world.I helped my grandmother mow the lawn and spread fertilizer.Actually was a little bit lazy in my schoolwork but never in yard work.Some of my friends said it was an activity that only retired people took up.I didn't mind.I enjoyed making my yard beautiful and I enjoyed sweating after awhole day's work.It's good for my health.Maybe I ’ll spend most of my timein the yard after I retire.William:Transformers!Optimus Prime and Megatron!Those robots from the 1980s that would turn into cars and planes.That's why I became a mechanical designer.Few people can claim to be as big a fan of Transformers as I am.I have an entire room in my house dedicated to them,over 700Transformers from every generation,as well as many posters and tons of other collectible items.Transformer collecting is not just a hobby to me--they're a way of life!KeyUnit 2U ni t 2.m p 3Fly with International Airlines Fly away with us to your dream vacation place.Fly with International Airlines,and leave your worries behind.If you like mountain climbing,you can take our fabulous 2-week charter flight to NameHobbles The significance of thier hobblies Luther1)stamp collecting They are 2)miniature works of art on every possible subject.Sarah3)yard work She enjoys 4)making gardens beautiful.William 5)Transformer collecting It is 6)a way of life to him.Switzerland for only$850,including hotels and meals.Or perhaps you would rather relax on a beach in Bermuda,and enjoy swimming in the clear blue-green waters of the Atlantic.Our special price until June1st is only $579,for a marvellous9-day vacation in the sun.If you are adventurous,you can fly with International Airlines to the Amazon Jungle.South America is waiting for you.Our special excursion fare for a thrilling 3-week expedition along the Amazon River,complete with an experienced guide,is only$1,199,but hurry,this price can only be offered for a limited time.Don't miss a fantastic opportunity.The world is waiting for you.And the wild wonderful wings of International Airlines are waiting to welcome you aboard for an unforgettable vacation.Fly away with us.Fly away with International Airlines.

However,what we get from school is just a small part of what we cation includes both formal learning at school and informal learning in society.So education is much broader than schooling.Education can take place anywhere,whether in the street or at a party.Likewise, educators can be anyone,ranging from an elderly woman in the neighbourhood to a young reporter on TV.The general patterns of teaching at school always remain relatively the same. Students arrive at school at the set time and take the assigned courses.The learning materials and the tests used at school are limited.We know what we can get from school education,but we can never give a full picture of what we can expect from education.F or instance,while travelling if you have a chat with a local shopkeeper, you may discover more about local culture.Education starts from the moment a person is born.It lasts for a life time and becomes part of his/her life.Key(F)1.We get most of our education at school.(T)cation can occur in a local shop when travelling.(T)3.Students at school usually use similar textbooks.(F)4.Only at school can you get new information and skills.(T)cation is always with us throughout our whole lives.Look at the diagram made by Daisy Kabagarama about the components of culture in her book,Breaking the Ice.Listen to the speaker's descriptions.Write down the key words in the blanks.The first letter of each word is already given.Components of Culture The term culture has been defined in many ways.Howard defines it as the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behaviour and thoughts.I define culture as the way of life of a group of people.In that way,culture is in essence the moulder of human behaviour of a certain group.Culture has several major components.The first important one is material possessions,which refer to objects like books or clothes.The non-material component can be illustrated by the following parts:values,norms,beliefs,emotions,attitudes,aspirations,laws,and symbols.The arrows in the figure point in both directions,suggesting that culture shapes these components.In turn,these aspects impact culture,which means culture is dynamic,always undergoing great changes.For example ,people who share the same level of material possessions may have different values or beliefs.People who have similar beliefs may change the ways to express emotions.From birth to death,people are faced with cultural messages and change in these components.Key2)Material possessionslaws attitudes emotionsListen to a speaker talking about her recent travels in West Africa and write down a short answer to each of the following questions.The Greatest Humanitarian CauseIn my recent travels to West Africa,I came to see how much in need so many people are in this part of the world.Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than those who die in the continuing bloody conflicts.We live in a world filed with conditions that cry out for others to help.What can you do in a world that needs such help?Serving and volunteering, whether in your community or in a developing country overseas,is a wonderful way to fill real human needs.Being involved in serving others and true humanitarian causes can offer you experience and contact with others that will help you through the rest of your life.The biggest benefit is that you have a direct impact on helping other human beings.We should remember that serving the needs of the despondent of this world is a very worthy cause.Doing good,one act at a time,one person at a time,is an important part of being a light in a world of darkness and preparing for a greater cause in the future.Key1.What are the West Africans suffering from?Infectious disease,poverty and continuing bloody conflicts.2.What can we do to fill real human needs?Serving and volunteering in our community or in a developing country overseas.3.What benefits can we enjoy from true humanitarian causes?Involvement in such causes offers us experience and contact with others,which will be beneficial throughout our life.4.Why is it a very worthy cause to serve the needs of the despondent of this world?Doing good for the despondent is like bringing light in a world of darkness and helps to prepare for greater causes in the future.Unit6U ni t6.m p3Listen to a speaker talking about the damage done by ice plete the following chart with the information you hear.Ice-Storm Numbers Tell Chilling TaleIn January1998,three successive storms dropped more than4inches of freezing rain in areas of New England and southern Canada.About100,00people had to take refuge in shelters,while the Red Cross raised more than$10million to help the victims.The ice brought down more than1,000power transmission towers and30,000 wooden utility poles.Nearly1.7million customers lost their electricity,in some areas for weeks.More than one-third of all farmland in the region was affected.Nearly 5.3million sugar-maple trees were in the path of the storm,and it may take 30to 40years for maple syrup production to return to normal.The hardest hit were dairy farmers,as nearly one-quarter of Canada's Cows were subjected to the storm.The ones that survived may never reach their previous level of production.Furthermore,2.5million gallons of milk,valued at more than $5million,had to be dumped because there was no electricity.KeyDamages Caused by Ice StormsUnit 7U ni t 7.m p 3Listen to a speaker talking about the facets of a person's physical appearance and his/her life.Then decide whether the following statements are true (T)or false (F).This is Charlotte.She was born just a few hours ago.Like most of us at birth,there's really nothing to her:a bit of fat,a little of sugar,a bit of protein;actually she's 75per cent water.She's really a collection of chemicals.And yet,she's the most complicated thing on Earth;and during her lifetime,she'll achieve the most amazing things.She'll eat for nearly three and a half years,consuming 7,300eggs and 160kilograms of chocolate.She'll crawl 150kilometers before she's two.From then on,she'll learn a new word every two hours for the next ten years.By the time she's ten,her heart will have beaten 368million times.She'll spend a litter over 12years watching TV and two and half years on the telephone.During her life,she'll fall in love twice.If she gets married,there's a 60%chance she'll stay married to the same person for the rest of her life.And her chance of becoming a celebrity is less than 0.01%.Key[F]1.Charlotte was a bit too fat when she was born.[T]2.Charlotte will crawl 150kilometers before she is two years old.[T]3.She'll learn a new word every two hours from age two to twelve.[F]4.According to the speaker,this little girl has the potential to accomplish great things in her life.[F]5.What the speaker says is an accurate forecast of an English woman's life AreasDamagesPeople ·About 100,000people had to live in shelter.·More than $10million was raised to help the victimsElectricity ·More than 1,000power transmission towers and 30,000utility poles fell.·Nearly 1.7million customers lost electricity.Crops ·More than 1/3of all farmland in the region was

CeremonyLast-minute rehearsals,and the final touches are taking place before tonight's tree-lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Centre.This year,the Norway spruce soars nearly9storeys and it is the

As a boy, Christopher Reeve studied piano and voice, worked as an assistant orchestra conductor, and made his acting debut with a Princeton, New Jersey, Theatre Company at age nine. He graduated from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and studied drama at the Juilliard School in New York where he roomed with comedian Robin Williams.Reeve was chosen from a pool of more than two hundred actors to play Superman. His looks, his fitness and physique and charming humility breathed life into the comic-book hero. The great success of Superman meant three very popular sequels. While Christopher appeared in other films, it is his role as Superman that made him famous.Known the world over as Superman, Christopher Reeve has been a symbol of strength, the force of good, with the ability to fly and soar over the problems of man. He was strength and mobility personified to people throughout the world. Thus, it came as a shock when Christopher Reeve fell from his horse during a riding-show accident in 1995, and landed on his head. The fall broke his spinal cord, and he was paralyzed from the neck down. He died in 2004.FOLLOW-UP①Listening to short conversationsIn this section you will hear five short conversations.
