This growing need for energy causes us to burn more and more fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels such as coal puts carbon into the air. Carbon dioxide, or CO2, and other gases reduce the amount of heat that goes out into space. When less heat goes out into space, it means that more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere. When more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere, the average temperature increases, making it warmer.To be continued >>>Listening 1A significantly higher average temperature leads to climate change and changes to the weather. Climate change can have a negative impact on people’s lives. For example, climate change can make it difficult to grow food in some places. People are starting to conserve energy by making changes that cause them to use less fuel. For example, people are buying smaller cars. Smaller cars are more efficient because they use less gas and oil.Listening 2Yoho National Park, British Columbia, CanadaListening 2A | Read the statements.

Theybelieve this increase in temperature is having a negative impacton our environment. You might think that protecting the planet istoo big a job for you, but it isn’t. There are many small andpractical ways you can conserve energy and help protect theenvironment. Here are some helpful tips.Cut back on driving by taking public transportation or walkingmore often. You will save a lot of gas if you drive to work two orthree days a week instead of five! Shop at local stores close toyour home.To be continued >>>Listening 2You will drive less, so you can spend less money on gas and more money on food. Turn off lights and electronics whenyou aren’t using them so you don’t waste electricity. Replace your old appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers with new, efficient models. Old appliances consume more energy than new ones. Keep track of the electricity and gas you use and how you use it. Write down the different activities you do that use gas or electricity and how often you do them in an energy journal.To be continued >>>Listening 2Use your energy journal to help you set a lower target for your energy use each month. For example, if your energy bill is $100 one month, try lowering your bill to $80, or by 20 percent the next month. Try to reduce the amount of energy you use by making gradual changes to your lifestyle. You will see that making small changes each month can have a big impact on the amount of energy you use—and help protect our beautiful planet!Listening 3 Dictation.Listen to some ideas about energy saving and write down what you hear. Altogether the ideas 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.

Take a five-minute shower, or use only four inches (10 centimeters) of water in your bath.3. Keep track of your electric bills. Make a chart of how much energy you use, and watch the numbers go down every month.4. Recycle all of your cans, bottles, and paper. Recycled materials consume much less energy than new materials.5.

TListening 1In the 1800s, cowboys worked with cattle all across the western region of the United States. An important factor in the cowboys’ work was the railroad. Most cattle were in Texas, but the railroadwas more than 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) away. Cowboysmoved the cattle there in big cattle drives. Experts estimate that in a cattle drive, only 10 cowboys could take more than 3,000 cattle to a railroad town. Cowboys typically worked for about four months, and received all their pay at the end. Then they spent it very quickly in the town. The average cowboy was only 24 years old. Working alone with their cattle, cowboys developed some very interesting customs. For example, at night, some cowboys would sing to the cattle to keep them quiet. Some traditional American songs came from these singing cowboys. Cowboys have not disappearedTo be continued >>>Listening 1completely, but there are not nearly as many as there were in the past. One reason for this is very few young people want to workso hard for so little money, so the cowboys’ way of life is endangered. Although the number of actual cowboys has decreased, there are many people who help preserve aspects of the cowboy culture. For example, cowboy hats and boots are very popular, especially in the western part of the United States, and many places still have rodeos.Listening 2At a charreada in Mexico, cowboys called “charros” compete in teams.A |Read the questions.

Are there still cowboys today?Professor Daley: Yes, there are. They’re workers who live with the cattle and take care of them. Some ranches are very large and cattle need to be moved from place to place, so yes, there are still cowboys.Li: You also talked about two kinds of cowboys in Mexico. Could you explain that?Professor Daley: Sure. The most famous cowboys in Mexico are the charros. They ride their horses in contests called charreadas.The other kind of cowboys are the vaqueros—the ones whowork with cattle every day.To be continued >>>Listening 2Li: I still don’t understand.Professor Daley: Let me explain. Some Mexican cowboys do it asa hobby, and others do it as a job. For the charros, it’s mostly asport, or a hobby. For the vaqueros, it’s their work.Li: So, what you mean is that Manuel Rodriguez is a vaquero, and not a charro.Professor Daley: Exactly!Emily: Do you mean that charros aren’t really cowboys? Professor Daley: No, charros are a part of the tradition, but many of them don’t do it as actual work. What I mean is, they arecowboys—but it isn’t a job.Listening 3 Dictation.Listen to a passage aboutbagpipes and write down what you Array hear. Altogether the passage will beread to you four times.

There are holes in the pipes that the player covers with his or her fingers to play different notes.Bagpipes have a long history. Musicians in ancient Rome played a similar instrument with an airbag and pipes.

Australia is one of the driest continents in the world, and water is very scarce in many regions. The normalamount of rain in some places is only one inch (25 millimeters) peryear.Several years ago, the rain stopped falling in Australia, and manyparts of the country soon experienced a drought—a time ofextremely dry weather. Children in some towns have never seen rainin their whole lives.It was a crisis for the entire country, and many people were veryworried. The government had to decide how to allocate water fordifferent uses. Rules were made about domestic use of water forthings such as gardens, swimming pools, and showers.To be continued >>>Listening 1Some water is also needed for industry because the country makes cars, ships, and machines. But Australians’ main use of water is for agriculture. Farms produce rice, grapes, oranges, cattle, and many other foods, and these require a lot of water. Instead of rain, Australia uses water from rivers and underground reservoirs for farming.Some parts of Australia have had more normal amounts of rain recently, but in many places there, the crisis continues.

It operates a pump underground. Another main part might be a large tank where the water is stored.B | Read the questions. Then listen again and answer the questions.Listening 23. Why have the PlayPump locations become a center of social activity?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The PlayPump locations have become a center of social activity because children can play there and adults can gather while they collect the water.Listening 2In rural Africa, clean water is a luxury. Many small villages in Africa don’t have access to clean water. Most people don’t have plumbing in their homes. Instead, they often must walk longdistances to wells and haul heavy containers of water back.Traditionally, people must walk eight kilometers to get water, and carry very heavy containers that weigh about 40 pounds (18 kilograms).A new invention called the PlayPump is changing life in manyvillages. It uses a children’s toy called a merry-go-round toprovide clean water. As the merrygo-round spins, it pumps cleanwater up from deep underground and stores it in a huge tank.People are welcome to come and help themselves to the water.To be continued >>>Listening 2Patricia Molope, 17, explains that before her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to afar-off well. “Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy, and we wouldhave to go without bathing in order to save our water. It was too far to walk there. But now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better.”The exhausting chore of carrying water traditionally falls to womenand girls. Hauling water for miles—and hours—each day is such abig job, it sometimes prevents girls from being able to attend school. Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy—and even boys join in. The pumps have become a center of social activity where kids and adults gather to visit while collecting water.。

Professor: All right, today we’re going to continue our discussion on ethics. We’ll discuss the question, “Should the Inuit people of North America be allowed to hunt seals?” It’s an important question, and in recent years, the European Union made it illegal to trade seal products. So in Europe, you can’t buy or sell seal skins, or seal oil, or anything made from seals. Now, you probably don’t wear seal-skin clothing or use a lot of seal oil, right? And the law is popular with most people in Europe. Why? Because they see pictures of cute baby seals, and then they see pictures of the seal hunt. People kill the seals with a gun, or in the more old-fashioned way, by hitting them on the head.
