Optional Listening 4The Guitar HouseIn Fayetteville, Georgia, there is a house that is shaped like a guitar. It was built by a song-writer and country music lover, Elvis L. Carden, in the 1970s.It’s right on the road and is brown. It’s not that stran ge, when you look at it from ground level. You probably would really notice it just driving by. In fact, you can’t really tell what it is from the street. But if you stop and look, the roof has a very slight slant, and then you can tell.It’s basically a modified ranch house with a long narrow walkway or hallway leading to the garage, thus the guitar shape. It has a flat roof with the electrical wires running along the top to mimic guitar strings.The Shoe HouseHellam is a small town in south-central Pennsylvania. In this town, there is a shoe house. The house was built in 1948 by shoe magnate Mahlon N. Haines to advertise his business.The shoe House is a wood-framed house, which is 48 feet long and 17 feet wide at its widest point. It is a replica of high-top work boot. Besides a sole, heel, and toe, this shoe house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.Originally, Haines used Shoes House as a guesthouse. He invented elderly couples to spend the weekend and live like “kings and queens” at his expense. He also let honeymooners stay there for free, as long as they came from a town that they had a Haines shoe store.After Haines passed away, the Shoe House was sold. Now it has been turned into an ice cream parlor and is open to tourists.Keys:OL1: A. housing; B. C C.

Instead, they used home remedies—medicine made from things from home. Today, many people like to use home remedies because they are cheap and easy to use. Here are some old home remedies from the United States.When you have sleeping problems.·Don’t eat dinner lat at night. Have a small, light dinner early in the evening.·Eat lettuce for dinner. It helps you feel calm.·Eat raw onions to help you sleep.When your ears hurts.·Don’t eat very cold food, like ice cream.·Put some salt in a bag, heat the bag, and put it into the side of your head.·Put warm oil in your ear.When you have a headache.·Don’t eat very cold food, like ice cream.·Lie down and close your eyes. Breathe calmly, and don’t think about anything.·Put a hot cloth on your head, above your eyes.When you have a stomach problem.·Eat a lot of yogurt to help your stomach work better.·Drink tea made from the ginger, peppermint, or chamomile plants.·Reduce alcohol, tea, and coffee.Optional Listening 4Studen t: I’m an 18-year-old high school student in Seoul. In eight months, I’m going to take the university entrance exam. To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do, Donna?Donna: Your problem is a common one for many students around the world. Here are some tips to help you. First, don’t do too much. Make a study schedule for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night, because we often forget information studied then. Second, take breaks and relax. You learn best when you study in two-hour blocks. Every two hours, take a break for 15 to 20 minutes. Go outside and walk. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. It can also improve memory and help you sleep better t night. Third, eat well. Don’t eat or drink a lot of sugar and caffeine. Eat food high in vitamin B, for example, eggs, yogurt, green vegetables, tofu, and rice. These give you energy and help you think more clearly. Finally, get a study partner. A study partner can help you practice fro the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too.Key:O L1: A. 1.

I go to school in Madrid.Toshi: Oh, where do you live, then?Isabel: Getafe. It’s small suburb near Madrid.Toshi: I don’t know it.Isabel: Well, only about 150,000 people live there. It’s kind of boring. But it’s very affordable. Toshi: That’s good. The city I’m from is very expensive. You’re lucky.Isabel: Yes, but we have a problem: the traffic. Sometimes I drive to school and the traffic is terrible.Optional Listening 2Singapore is a great city for a vacation. There are a lot of interesting things to see. You can visit Chinatown and little India, and go shopping on Orchard Road. Singapore also has many good restaurants. There are some great beaches for swimming near the city, and the parks are really beautiful. The city has very good public transportation---- you c an take a bus, train, or subway. It’s a safe city, and there isn’t much crime. It’s also a clean city. There isn’t much pollution. The only problem is that Singapore is expensive. The population of Singapore is approximately 4.84 million. With a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences and a tropical climate, tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.Optional Listening 3Choosing a cityIstanbul is a very unusual city—one part is in Europe, and the other part is in Asia. About 9 million people live there. Visitors love Istanbul because it has many beautiful, old buildings, and the food is great. At night, the seafood restaurants are very popular. And everything in Istanbul is very affordable for visitors. Traffic is a problem in the city, because there are too many cars for the old streets. There are also subways, trains, and buses, and some people take boats to go between the Europe side and the Asian side. Th e weather is very good in summer, but in winter it’s sometimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution. Two bad points--- prices there are very high, and the weather is not very good. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy day, and in the evening, the city has great restaurants and nightclubs to visit.Optional Listening 4Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live i n. Here are two of the cities listed as “the world best.” San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other cities in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15oc/60 o F to 26oc/79oF). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art gallerie s and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why live in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city---once a small fishing village--- is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and East, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples.Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. Minuses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and airpollution are also a problem.Keys:OL1: A. 1. Getafe; 2. Madrid. B. small city, not very exciting, affordable.OL2: Population: 4.84 million; Weather: Tropical; Cost of living: Expensive; Transportation: Very good public transportation; Nightlife: Vibrant.OL3: B. Istanbul-Population: 9 million; Weather: good in summer, cold in winter; Cost of living: affordable; Transportation: subways, trains, buses, but too many cars; Nightlife: popular seafood restaurants; Vancouver-Population: 600 thousand; Weather: lots of rain; Cost of living: high prices; Transportation: good public, transportation; Nightlife: great restaurants and nightclubs.OL4. 1.

I went to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and took me to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t w ant to go home!Listening 3Making memoriesA popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps..1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days,” “ Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,” “ Baby’s first year.”2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos.3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters--- anything made of paper. Use your imagination!4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like.5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination!6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Listening 4Yearbooks in the United StatesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year---- a “book of memories” for the students.Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too.The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”( a funny student), the “ most likely to succeed” ( a stud ent everyone thinks will be successful), and the “ best dressed” (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “ We had a lot of fun,” or “ I’ll never forget you.” They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Keys:OL1: A. 2-passport; 1-diary; 3-yearbook B. 1. boyfriend 2. Europe, ship 3. sixtiesOL2: B. 1.13; 2. To vist his grandparents; 3. Yes. He talked for a long time to a nice woman; 4. Hehad lots of fun with his grandparents and he saw lots of interesting places.

People in Bangladesh don’t use many gestures. Waving at people and winking are very rude. Don’t touch people on the head. Don’t point with your foot---Bangladeshi people think feet are very dirty.Indonesians greet people with a long handshake, and they bow at the same time. At a meeting, give every person your business card, but use your right hand----using your left hand is very rude in Indonesia.In Thailand, the traditional greeting is called wai----people put their hands together and bow. Men and women don’t often touch each other in public. Thai people don’t use their hand for gestures, but they love to smile a lot. They sometimes laugh when they feel nervous or embarrassed.People in the United Arab Emirates have some special gestures. When two men meet, they shake hands. Sometimes old men touch noses together. Women kiss their friends on the cheek. If a man meets a woman, he doesn’t shake hands with her. He just smiles. When you give your friend something, give it to him with your right hand. Don’t use your left hand. And don’t point at peopole with your finger. Use your hand to gesture towards them.Optional Listening4World greetingsIn Brazil men often shake hands when they meet for the first time. When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness.In New Zealand, usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting.In Japan when people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands. In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card,give it with both hands. This is polite. Special note: In Japan, a smile can have different meanings.

For some people, this is a problem. They think we should slow down and enjoy life. The Slow Food movement was started to c elebrate and support the local food traditions of the worlds. Its members don’t like fast food or instant foods because they think those foods are unhealthy.The Slow Food movement started in Europe, but now it is an international movement. There are more than 65,000 members in 45 countries. The Slow Food movement’s members think we need to slow down and appreciate delicious traditional foods. They also believe in protecting the environment. In addition, they believe in supporting local farmers and their products.Optional Listening 2Adam: I’m about 20 pounds overweight. I went on a diet. There’s only one problem: I just love buttery foods. Everyone says that I should eat less butter. It’s hard.Janet: I lived in Thailand for six months. It was really fun. I really like Thai food! It’s too spicy for some people, but not for me. I love the peppers. I came home a month ago. The food here tastes so bland--- I don’t like it anymore.Abby: My mother says that I have a “sweet tooth.” That means I like to eat sweet foods. Dessert is my favorite part of any meal. I like anything with chocolate in it!。

W: Sure, we have various levels of courses tailored to different needs. Let me give you a brochure.2. M: How was your weekend?W: I had a really great time. I went hiking with my friends in the mountains.3. W: Hi Tom, I haven't seen you for ages! How have you been?M: I've been pretty busy with my job. How about you?4.

W: Did you hear about the Eastern Music Festival happening next month?M: Yes, I heard about it. I'm planning to go and enjoy some live performances.Part 2Passage 1Just picture this: You're walking down the street, coffee in hand, feeling good and confident. Suddenly, you trip and spill your coffee all over yourself. Embarrassing, right? But don't worry,everyone has unpleasant experiences like this sometimes. The key is to handle them with grace. Instead of panicking or feeling ashamed, try to stay calm and remember that accidents happen to everyone. Clean yourself up, laugh it off, and move on. People around you will admire your composure.Passage 2Feeling stressed out? Taking a walk outdoors may be just what you need. According to a recent study, spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. When you're surrounded by nature, your brain enters a state of relaxation, allowing you to focus better and be more creative. So next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, take a break and go for a walk in the park. You'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.。

for your health, or to look good?laura: to be honest, for both. with women, good looks are always a very important consideration. peter: if they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.laura: how about you? do you get any regular exercise?peter: i do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but i never go to the gym like you do.laura: well, walking is good exercise. how about sports?laura: i play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.peter: oh, i forgot about that. i go cycling sometimes too. and i often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.laura: why dont you join me at the gym sometime? i can get you a guest pass.peter: well, maybe someday, but im pretty lazy about things like that.questions1. what do you know about peter?2. where might the two speakers be having this conversation? speaking taskspair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1a: whats your plan for this evening?b: well, theres a good game at the stadium but i havent got a ticket yet.a: im going to the gym. would you like to come along?

i think it tastes like medicine.7. w: why, the fish is left almost untouched.m: well, it would be good if it were less salty.8. m: hi, sue, would you like to eat out tonight?w: oh, id really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..[ti:unit 2 part b]listening tasksa conversationwhat about dining out?exercise 1listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.peter: hi, kate.kate: hi, peter. how have you been?peter: oh, ok, i guess. and you?kate: not too bad. we havent seen each other for a while, have we?peter: no, we havent. so that makes me ask. do you have any plan for this saturday?kate: no, not yet, i dont think so. why?peter: what do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend? kate: that would be great. do you have any particular place in mind?peter: well, i think id like to eat something thats not too heavy. ive been eating a little too much lately.kate: me too.peter: i love italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. they always seem to serve so much food in italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to. kate: chinese food would be good.peter: yes, or maybe some japanese sushi. that style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.kate: yes, either of those choices would be good. lets just meet on saturday night, and decide then where to eat.peter: thats fine by me.speaking taskspair worklisten to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. then role-play them with your partner.conversation 1(at the school canteen)a: what a crowd!b: this is the worst time. the morning classes are just over. everybody is hungry and rushes here to have lunch.a: thats true. im starving and i cant wait. id rather not stand in a long line.b: why dont we have some fried noodles?a: noodles are sold at no. 2 box. no queue there, you see.b: thats great.(at no. 2 box)counter hand: what can i get you?a: one plate of fried noodles, please.b: make it two.counter hand: ok. two plates of fried noodles. anything else?

(D)Part FourCars are an important part of life in America. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And a poor person doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.There are three main reasons the car becomes so popular in America. First of all，the country is a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. The second reason why cars popular is the fact that America never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Nowadays，there is good system of air-serviceprovided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one，though. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus，or a train. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their time，and this is the freedom that Americans value very much.Questions:1.When do most Americans feel they are poor? (D)2.What is the second reason mentioned in the passage? (B)3.How many reasons mentioned in the passage? (B)4.What is the most important reason cars become popular in America?(B)5.What kind of public transportati on i s good in Ameri ca? (A)Part FiveAmerican men don’t cry because it is considered not characteristic of men to do so. Crying is a “weakness”characteristic of the female. Crying，in our culture，is identified is identified with childishness，with weakness and dependence. No one likes a crybaby，and we dislike crying even in children，preventing it in them as early as possible. In a land so devoted to seeking happiness as ours，crying really is rather un-American. Adults must learn not to cry in situations in which it is permissible for achild to cry. Women being the “weaker” and “dependent” sex，it is only natural tha they should cry in certain emotional situations. In women，crying is excusable. But in men，crying is a mark of weakness. “A little man，”we impress on our male children，“never cries. Only girls and crybabies do.”1.F2.T3.F4.T5.T。

[ti:Unit 1 Part A][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Unit 1 Sports[00:03.42]Part A[00:05.64]Listening Strategy[00:08.02]Identifying Numbers[00:10.77]Numbers appear very often in every kind of listening material.[00:15.98]The ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in English[00:20.97]is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner.[00:25.66]A good way is to practice over and over again[00:30.22]the pronunciation of the numbers,[00:33.12]particularly the different ways to say[00:36.00]thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc.[00:42.24]It also helps to practice writing down the numbers you hear[00:46.78]quickly in numerical forms,[00:49.19]without translating them into Chinese.[00:52.08]You're going to hear a passage about Michael Jordan,[00:57.20]a retired American professional basketball player.[01:00.52]Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers. [01:05.14]Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.[01:10.29]He was born on Feb.17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York.[01:16.95]He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds.[01:23.89]Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls team for the 1984 season.[01:30.29]In the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score ever. [01:39.08]He was named NBA Slam Dunk Champion(扣篮冠军)in 1987[01:45.36]and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1988,[01:49.56]an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998.[01:55.96]Jordan guided his team to win six NBA championships during the 1990s, [02:02.59]scoring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 NBA finals. [02:10.02]In 1999,[02:12.44]he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century. [02:17.27]Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of the 1993-1994 NBA season [02:24.08]to pursue a career in baseball.[02:26.54]Since his baseball game wasn't quite as good as his basketball games, [02:31.47]he finally gave it up to rejoin the Bulls in 1995.[02:36.12]Yet, after playing for five more years,[02:40.55]he once again announced his retirement in 1999.[02:44.09]But he returned for two more NBA games in 2001[02:48.73]as a member of the Washington Wizards.[ti:Unit 1 Part B][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Part B[00:01.77]Listening Tasks[00:04.21]A Conversation[00:06.03]Why Don't You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?[00:10.20]Exercise 1[00:12.39]Listen to the conversation[00:15.19]and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.[00:19.12]Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?[00:24.50]Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym.[00:27.48]I've got to stay in shape, you know.[00:29.76]I try to go three times a week, but I'm busy so I can't always make it. [00:36.14]Peter: I know more women who work out than men.[00:39.32]What's the main reason you work out?[00:41.98]For your health, or to look good?[00:45.05]Laura: To be honest, for both.[00:47.06]With women, good looks are always a very important consideration. [00:51.56]Peter: If they were honest,[00:53.48]most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, [00:58.07]and not merely for health reasons.[01:00.76]Laura: How about you?[01:02.01]Do you get any regular exercise?[01:04.55]Peter: I do a lot of walking,[01:06.76]for exercise and enjoyment —[01:08.90]sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time —[01:12.41]but I never go to the gym like you do.[01:14.95]Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?[01:19.97]Peter: Not since my school days.[01:22.04]I used to love playing baseball,[01:24.34]but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. [01:28.20]Mostly I just watch sports on TV.[01:31.51]Laura: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends,[01:35.42]and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.[01:38.95]Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too.[01:43.59]And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming. [01:48.59]Laura: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime?[01:52.11]I can get you a guest pass.[01:54.64]Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.[01:59.84]Questions[02:02.55]1. What do you know about Peter?[02:10.26]2. Where might the two speakers be having this conversation?[02:18.80]Exercise 2[02:20.11]Listen again and write down answers to the following questions.[02:24.60]Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?[02:28.84]Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym.[02:31.73]I've got to stay in shape, you know.[02:33.97]I try to go three times a week, but I'm busy so I can't always make it.

M: I knew the names of all the football players[01:31.71]and the dates of all the games in my high school days.[01:34.87]But recently I have failed to keep up with football.[01:38.74]W: Now you are busy with your golf games.[01:42.09]Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?[al:全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程2][ti:Unit 2 Part A][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Unit 2 Food and Drinks[00:04.09]Part A[00:06.13]Listening Strategy[00:08.62]Listening "Between the Lines"[00:11.55]People do not always say directly what they mean.[00:15.80]Very often, we have to listen "between the lines".[00:20.04]The English language offers many ways for people to imply,[00:24.23]rather than directly state, their meaning.[00:27.12]To find out what a speaker really means,[00:30.01]we can rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, [00:34.08]and the intonation used.[00:36.03]For example,[00:37.15]if someone says "I have an essay to write"[00:40.55]in answer to an invitation to go somewhere,[00:43.49]we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. [00:47.43]And if someone says "Andrew passed with flying colors"[00:51.60]in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test,[00:55.41]we can infer from the meaning of the idiom[00:58.22]"to pass with flying colors" that Andrew did very well on the test. [01:02.71]Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. [01:07.76]For example,[01:08.91]"He is very clever" said with an ironic tone means just the opposite. [01:14.49]You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.[01:19.60]Listen carefully[01:21.18]and write down "Yes" or "No" to each of the following questions.[01:26.15]1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate? [01:33.07]W: Yes, many times.[01:35.35]Whenever my friends come to visit me, I'll take them there to eat. [01:43.72]2. W: Is there something wrong, sir?[01:46.52]M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal. [01:55.46]3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?[01:58.92]M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?[02:06.27]4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.[02:09.60]M: Next to beef.[02:15.17]5. M: Have you tried this wine before?[02:18.34]W: No, never. It's my first time, but it's really to my taste.[02:27.75]6. W: John, do you want a soda?[02:30.84]M: Soda? I think it tastes like medicine.[02:38.26]7. W: Why, the fish is left almost untouched.[02:42.56]M: Well, it would be good if it were less salty.[02:50.11]8. M: Hi, Sue, would you like to eat out tonight?[02:53.95]W: Oh, I'd really like to,[02:56.21]but my sister may come to visit me this evening.[al:全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程2][ti:Unit 2 Part B][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Part B[00:01.71]Listening Tasks[00:04.03]A Conversation[00:05.60]What About Dining Out?[00:08.40]Exercise 1[00:10.93]Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.[00:15.52]Peter: Hi, Kate.[00:17.96]Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been?[00:20.75]Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?[00:23.09]Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we? [00:27.45]Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask.[00:30.71]Do you have any plan for this Saturday?[00:32.71]Kate: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?[00:36.21]Peter: What do you think about[00:37.98]getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?[00:40.42]Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind? [00:44.55]Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. [00:48.41]I've been eating a little too much lately.[00:50.91]Kate: Me too.[00:52.56]Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. [00:56.91]They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, [01:00.61]and you end up eating more than you wanted to.[01:03.27]Kate: Chinese food would be good.[01:05.32]Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi.[01:08.43]That style uses a lot of natural flavors,[01:11.48]and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.[01:14.39]Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good.[01:17.33]Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat. [01:21.37]Peter: That's fine by me.[01:22.65]Exercise 2[01:25.21]Listen to the conversation again[01:27.42]and write down answers to the following questions.[01:30.88]Peter: Hi, Kate.[01:33.54]Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been?[01:36.36]Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?[01:38.58]Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we? [01:43.09]Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask.[01:46.23]Do you have any plan for this Saturday?[01:48.32]Kate: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?[01:51.83]Peter: What do you think about[01:53.65]getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?[01:56.07]Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind? [02:00.23]Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. [02:03.98]I've been eating a little too much lately.[02:06.55]Kate: Me too.[02:08.10]Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. [02:12.51]They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, [02:16.42]and you end up eating more than you wanted to.[02:18.84]Kate: Chinese food would be good.[02:20.97]Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi.[02:23.99]That style uses a lot of natural flavors,[02:27.20]and not much oil or cream orheavy sauces.[02:29.98]Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good.[02:33.00]Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat. [02:37.03]Peter: That's fine by me.[02:39.70]Speaking Tasks[02:41.59]Pair Work[02:43.75]Listen to the following conversations and repeat after the recording. [02:47.87]Then role-play them with your partner.[02:50.88]Conversation 1[02:53.56](At the school canteen)[02:56.06]A: What a crowd![02:57.55]B: This is the worst time. The morning classes are just over.[03:01.76]Everybody is hungry and rushes here to have lunch.[03:04.94]A: That's true. I'm starving and I can't wait.[03:08.03]I'd rather not stand in a long line.[03:10.42]B: Why don't we have some fried noodles?[03:13.27]A: Noodles are sold at No. 2 Box. No queue there, you see.[03:17.20]B: That's great.[03:18.68](At No. 2 Box)[03:21.46]Counter hand: What can I get you?[03:23.38]A: One plate of fried noodles, please.[03:25.58]B: Make it two.[03:26.68]Counter hand: OK. Two plates of fried noodles. Anything else?[03:31.79]A: How much is the tomato soup?[03:33.93]Counter hand: It's free. It goes with the noodles.[03:36.83]A: I see. (to B) Do you want any soup?[03:39.91]B: Yes.[03:40.92]A: (to counter hand) Two bowls of soup, please.[03:46.27]Conversation 2[03:47.50](At a fast food restaurant)[03:49.68]Counter hand: What can I do for you?[03:51.47]Customer: I'll have one order of chicken nuggets and a chicken sandwich. [03:55.65]Counter hand: Anything to drink?[03:56.75]Customer: A small Sprite. No ice, please.[03:59.65]Counter hand: Okay. For here or to go?[04:02.04]Customer: For here.[04:06.34]Conversation 3[04:07.92](At a Chinese restaurant)[04:09.74]Waiter: Are you ready to order?[04:13.10]A: Do you have any recommendations?[04:15.21]Waiter: Yes. The Sichuan style crispy whole fish is very good.[04:19.23]It's today's special.[04:20.80]A: Mary, would you like to try that? I hear it's very good.[04:24.71]B: Why not? And I'd like shrimp in black bean sauce, too.[04:31.21]It's my favorite.[04:32.73]Waiter: Okay. Anything else?[04:35.22]A: What about some vegetables, Mary?[04:37.50]B: Yes. How about spinach?[04:40.88]A: Spinach is fine with me.[04:42.75]Waiter: Anything to drink?[04:44.86]A: Yes. I'd like one Bud Light, please. What'll you have, Mary?[04:49.44]B: Orange juice, please.[04:51.56]Waiter: One Bud Light and one orange juice.

Let's order quickly so we can chat a little.[00:16.86]A: OK. What are you in the mood for?[00:19.40]B: Something light. I had a huge breakfast and I'm still full.[00:23.19]A: There are three salads. Or you could have soup and a sandwich.[00:27.58]B: What are you having? A hamburger, I suppose.[00:30.23]A: No, actually I ate out last night.[00:32.68]We had pizza at Pizza Hut, then a late snack at Kentucky Fried Chicken.[00:37.51]B: Oh, dear. Well, maybe you should have a salad.[00:40.63]A: Yes, I think so. Look, the daily special is spaghetti. That sounds good.[00:46.99]B: Oh, the prices are great too. I'll have that as well.[00:50.82]A: Now let's decide on drinks.[00:53.26]B: I'll just have coffee and a glass of iced water.[00:56.29]A: Italian food needs red wine, you know.[00:59.03]B: But we have to go back to work.[01:00.87]A: OK, a Coke for me then.[01:03.35]B: Here comes the waitress.

[00:27.03]Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event,[00:32.70]we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened,[00:36.84]but also when and where, how and why it happened.[00:41.40]In listening to a weather report, on the other hand,[00:44.86]the important details we should watch out for[00:48.07]are the current weather conditions,[00:50.13]temperature, and weather outlook.[00:52.61]You're going to hear two short passages about weather.[00:57.82]While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, [01:04.02]temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, [01:10.38]and write them down in note form.[01:13.08]Then complete the exercises in your book.[01:16.41]1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere,[01:25.57]with the best of the sunshine in southern and central areas of Britain.[01:30.42]A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing.[01:35.65]There will be light winds with a maximum temperature[01:38.88]of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit.[01:43.20]Look at the outlook for the next few days:[01:46.81]it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west. [01:53.13]2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province,[02:00.78]claimed four lives on Sunday.[02:02.83]The storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m.[02:07.86]The winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour,[02:12.46]causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.[al:全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程2][ti:Unit 3 Part B][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Part B[00:01.14]Listening Tasks[00:03.53]A Conversation[00:05.93]Did You Hear the Forecast?[00:09.45]Exercise 1[00:10.95]Listen to the conversation[00:12.78]and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.[00:15.70]Alan: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It's starting to get cloudy.[00:20.56]Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain.[00:23.46]I thought it was going to be a fine day today.[00:26.35]Alan: That's certainly what the department was hoping for[00:29.36]when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.[00:33.21]Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather.[00:36.14]You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment. [00:40.85]Alan: Yeah, sunshine — but not too much! Do you remember last year? [00:45.86]Michelle: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, [00:50.67]look for ways to escape from the sun.[00:53.42]Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. [00:57.78]All we wanted was cold drinks. And then we dozed off.[01:02.06]Michelle: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off. [01:06.59]Alan: But there wasn't.[01:07.91]Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky,[01:11.55]and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.[01:15.11]Michelle: Well, we don't have that problem this year, apparently. [01:19.27]Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain? [01:24.29]Alan: I don't know. I didn't catch the weather report.[01:27.99]But maybe if it rains,[01:29.77]it will only be a short shower which cools things off a little.[01:34.28]That might not be bad.[01:35.86]Questions[01:37.91]1. What are Alan and Michelle mainly doing?[01:46.42]2. What do you know about Alan?[01:53.20]3. What can you infer from the conversation?[02:01.13]Exercise 2[02:02.70]Listen to the conversation again.[02:05.46]Then write down answers to the following questions.[02:09.46]Alan: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It's starting to get cloudy.[02:14.30]Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain.[02:17.22]I thought it was going to be a fine day today.[02:20.28]Alan: That's certainly what the department was hoping for[02:23.14]when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.[02:26.95]Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather.[02:29.99]You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.

Nice and cool.[03:49.48]B: Yeah, I really like this kind of weather.[03:53.02]A: What's the temperature today？[03:55.32]B: The high is 26 and the low is 20.[03:58.95]The weather forecast says the good weather is likely to last, too. [04:03.91]A: I hope so.[04:07.77]Conversation 2[04:09.27]A: It seems to be clearing up.[04:12.69]All the dark clouds are gone and the sun is coming out.[04:16.82]B: Yes. Let's just hope it stays this way. I hate rainy days.[04:22.04]A: I think it will continue to be fine for the next few days.[04:26.20]Anyhow, that's what the weatherman says.[04:29.76]B: That's great. Let's go for a walk, shall we？[04:32.95]A: All right.[04:34.02]Conversation 3[04:38.32]A: It's hot and humid, isn't it? I can hardly breathe.[04:42.32]B: Yeah. I feel suffocating too.[04:45.30]A: Are summers always this hot here? It's almost like in the desert. [04:50.29]B: Yes, especially in July and August.[04:54.04]A: Well, what did the weatherman say?[04:56.80]B: He said another heat wave is on the way.[05:00.02]A: Oh no! I hope not.[05:03.32]B: How about going out to the beach to cool off？[05:08.03]A: Good idea. Maybe it's the only place for this sort of weather.[05:12.39]Now make similar conversations according to the given situations. [05:19.26]Use the structures and expressions above[05:22.19]in your conversations where appropriate.[al:全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程2][ti:Unit 3 Part B][ar:上海外语教育出版社][by:上海外语教育出版社][00:00.00]Part C[00:02.50]Test Your Listening[00:04.63]You're going to hear five short conversations.[00:08.92]Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.[00:13.56]1.

And the forecast says there will be more snow next week, [00:24.45]accompanied by strong winds.[00:26.48]Q: What will the weather be like next week?[00:35.41]2. M: We haven't had such a severe winter for a long time, have we? [00:40.55]W: No, and the forecast says it's going to get worse before it warms up. [00:46.20]Q: What can we learn from the conversation?[00:54.39]3. W: What if it rains hard? What are we going to do?[00:59.70]M: I think it will clear up soon.[01:02.40]But if it keeps raining, the whole thing will have to be cancelled. [01:06.84]Q: What can we learn from the conversation?[01:15.35]4. M: How was the weather when you left New York?[01:19.00]W: It was very much like the weather in Beijing.[01:22.91]You don't have to take a lot of clothes.[01:25.25]Q: What can we learn from the conversation?。
