I’m calling to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well. M: Thanks for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet. Q: What is the man going to do?Conversation 2 M: I need to use more than just my math skills for these questions but I don’t have a calculator. Shall I go and buy one? W: Actually, I’ve got two. And I’ll let you have one for the price of a coffee. Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation?Conversation 3 M: Prof essor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future. W: It’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics. Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?Conversation 4 W: I can’t believe Ken missed such an important lectur e even though I reminded him the day before yesterday. M: You should know him better by now. He’s known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other. Q: What does the man imply?Conversation 5 W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult going to so many places in such hot summer days. M: Well, it is challenging, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decentenough. Q: What does the man think of his job?Long conversation Scripts W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing. M: It’s only the second week of class, Stacey. Why are you giving up so quickly? We’ve only written one essay so far, and you won’t get your grade back u ntil next Wednesday! W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class! M: OK … What’s worrying you? W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write thethree-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a writing course … I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all –a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements. M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me! W: Wait! You own The Fo und Librarian? That’s our favorite coffee place. We get coffee and screenplay at more than 30 different production dessert there every week –and work on math homework. M: Yeah, that’s my shop. Stacey, let’s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety of s kills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class willserve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at 11 a.m. and I’ll work with you. Tog ether you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal? W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl! Passage 1 Scripts In 1978, as I applied to study film at theUniversity of Illinois, my father objected and quoted me a statistic, “Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US. Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to un derstand my father’s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chinese newcomer to make it in the American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years of annoying, hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping film crews with thei r equipment or working as editor’s assistant. My most painful experience involved shopping a screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and being met with harsh rejection each time. That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’t even support myself. What could I do? Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me strong support. Her income was terribly modest. To relieve me from feeling guilty, I took on all housework – cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son – in addition to reading, reviewing films and writing scripts. It was rather shameful for a man to live this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolled in a computer course at a community college.At that time, it seemed that only the knowledge of computer could quickly make me employable. One morning, right before she got in her car to head off to work, my wife turned back and –standing there on our front steps –said, “Ang Lee, don’t forget your dream.” Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to shoot my own films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards. Recalling earlier times, my wife confessed, “I’ve always believed that you only need one gift. Your gift is making films.” And today, I’ve finally won that golden statue. I think my own perseverance and my wife’s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met their reward. Q1:Wh en did Ang Lee come to understand his father’s concern about studying film? Q2: What was Ang Lee’s most painful experience according to the passage? Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer course at a community college? Q4: What did Ang Lee’s wife think o f him according to the passage?Passage 2 Scripts and answers Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It’s so important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do anything under any 2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equalself-importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8) accomplishing anything you want. Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort, commitment and selfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then you willhave the life you want.Unit 2 Emotions speak louder than wordsFurther practice in listeningShort conversations ScriptsConversation 1 W: What’s up? You look so upset and tired. M: To be frank, I am getting a little tired of my sister’s vanishing without any explanation, esp ecially when there is a lot of work to do around the house. Q: How does the man feel about his sister?Conversation 2 W: What’s wrong with Professor Smith? I can’t ima gine that he lost his temper this morning. When I first met him, he looked so gentle and kind. M: Oh, don’t make a fuss about it. If you know him, then you’ll also know it’ll pass very soon. Q: What does the man say about Professor Smith?Conversation 3 W: You mean Horace is still angry about that joke you made about his name? M: Yes. But I c ouldn’t help it. It just occurred to me at that moment. I didn’t mean to offend him at all! Q: What do we know about the man?Conversation 4 W: By the way, did you hear that Jack failed his mid-term exam? It’s too bad because it will disqualify him for ne xt year’s scholarship, and his parents will be really disappointed with him. M: He deserved it. He’s never really studied since last semester. Q: How does the man feel about Jack’s failing the exam? Conversation 5 W: I have been thinking about the intervi ew all week. I’m so desperate for this job, I can’t afford any mistakes. M: Take it easy. You’ve made enough preparations. What you really need is a little bit of confidence. I’m sure you’ll get the job. Q: What do we learn about the woman?Long conversat ion Scripts W: Happy Friday Chris! Isn’t thatmountain beautiful today … Gosh Chris, are you OK? Are you crying? Did I say something? M: No, it’s fine, Sally. It’s jus t that today is the one-year anniversary of my father’s death. W: I’m so sorry. T oday mus t be especially difficult. M: I woke up this morning, looked out at Mount Rainier for 45 minutes thinking about him. It was his favorite mountain, and from the time when I was seven years old until he died last year, every year, every year we would go hiking and camping together up that mountain at least three or four times. W: Wow. That’s my favorite place, too. I love all the blue and yellow flowers that cover the slopes in early summer. M: He loved those flowers, too, and we had baskets and bunches of them at the funeral. W: That sounds really special. Those little details can be such a comfort. M: Yes, it was a reminder of our happiest memories together. Honestly, I hope to die as peacefully as he did. We had just come home from a five-day hiking and camping trip in June. We had caught six fish for dinner and mom was preparing them in the kitchen. Dad sat down in his favorite green chair and had a heart attack and di ed quickly and peacefully. W: It’s tough to lose someone you love, but it sounds like he had a great life. M: He certainly did. He was 78 when he died. A good life, though, a very good life. W: Chris, take the day off. Maybe go hiking on Mount Rainier. It’s beautiful weather. It might make you feel better to hike up the mountain. M: Sally, you’re a good boss and a good friend. Thanks. Passage 1 Scripts With the fierce competition at work or in school, you are often stressed out and easily offended. How can you relieve such stress? Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid MUST think. You have to move away from the notion that you must do something in a certain way. For example, “I must get agreat score on a test.” This thou ght pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation rationally and analytically, and not as a “life or death” situation. Clean up the mess. Don’t study in a messy or crowded area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free from dist ractions. Set manageable goals. Break large projects into smaller parts and you’ll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part. Imagine dumping your worries. Imagine yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the bucket. Drop the bucket and watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think good thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief assumptions and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning. Imagine yourself succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real-life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feeling of confidence. Use your bed for sleeping, not studying. Your mind may startto associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep. Listen to relaxing music. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially can aid the learning process. Apply these tips to your own life, soon you’ll find fewer and fewer situations to fee l stressful about. Q1: What will happen if you always think that you must do something in a certain way? Q2: How can you make large projects workable according to the passage? Q3: What is the benefit of classical music mentioned in the passage? Q4: What is the best title for the passage?Passage 2 Scripts and answers Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, 1) exerting an influence onone’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s 2) fabulous if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or lonely. Perhaps one of the best ways to deal with such moods is to 3) talk them out. Sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern science offers an abundance of drugs to deal with bad moods. But scientists have also discovered the practicability of several non-drug 4) approaches to release you from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being healthier. So, the next time you feel out of sorts, don’t 5) head for the drug store – try the following approach. Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, physical exercise seems to be the most 6) efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep up the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn La nce, author of Running for Health and Beauty.

Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little help, probably because it is not intensive enough, and people usually do it unwillingly.

Do them for at least 20 minutes a 10) sessio n, three to five times a week.Unit 3 Love your neighborFurther practice in listeningShort conversations ScriptsConversation 1 M: It’s considerate o f the community to offer us old people so many chances. As you can see from my curriculum schedule, I have one music theory class and one pianolesson in the afternoon. W: I still have no idea which class I should choose. I think I may take music theory class with you. Q: What are the speakers doing?Conversation 2 W: Let’s talk about the preparations for the coming Christmas party. M: I think we really need a good plan and to arrange everything well in advance this time. Do you remember what a mess it was last year? Q: What do we know about the Christmas party last year?Conversation 3 W: John, could you look after the children for me while I go to the doctor? The only appointment I could get is at 11:00. M: All right. But I have to leave at 1 p.m. I’m go ing to a party in the afternoon. Q: What is the man supposed to do now according to the conversation?Conversation 4 M: It’s said that you have a new handsome neighbor from Australia. How are you getting along with him, Mary? W: Oh, quite well. He is a person who always speaks his mind, and I guess he gets along well with the entire neighborhood. Q: What does the woman think of her new neighbor?Conversation 5 W: I’ve heard that Mr. Smith is moving to a new apartment house at the end of this month. M: Tha t’s wonderful. He’s been looking forward to moving to a new house for a long time. Let’s give him a hand this weekend. Q: What is the man going to do this weekend?Lo ng conversation Scripts W: Hello, Mr. Lucas, I’m here to ask for 10 days off work, next m onth, in August. Together with the two weekends, I’ll have a full 14 days off from work. M: Two weeks in August? Lucy, as the election season is coming, the news and stories are catching the eye of the public. We may need our best news producers –like you –to be here for interviews.What’s so important? W: I know it is a busy season, but I’ve been taking two weeks off every year to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity –it’s a commitment I’ve kept every year, no matter what. It’s such a great organization that builds low-cost homes for people in need. The work is all volunteering and most of the supplies to build the houses are provided for free. It’s a great way to build community and make friends. M: I love Habitat for Humanity! In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, over 150,000 volunteers helped build more than 2,200 homes. My daughter worked with them in New Orleans and my brother has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity for five years. W: Wow! You know my husband and I have been volunteering for six years here in Seattle. When Istarted, I didn’t even know how to hold a hammer, but now I’ve learned how to paint, build roofs, and even install kitchen sinks! I love the feeling of community we develop with our fellow volunteers and with the communities that benefit from our work. M: Alright! We’ll work it out. I’ll give you the time off. Maybe this year you can learn how to install doors as well! Q1: Why is the woman asking for two weeks off from work? Q2: Which of the following statements is true? Q3: According to the woman, why is she willing to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity? Q4: What do we know about the man from the conversation? Passage 1 Scripts The BBC’s iPM radio program asks its listeners for interesting questions. In response, a listener asked the following question: “I would like to ask a question about the relationships among neighbors. I mean those people who live in your immediate neighborhood. Many people we have spoken to have said they don’t know any of their immediate neighbors.” What about you? Do you know any of your immediate neighbors, in the senseof something more than exchanging “Good morning” or “Good afternoon”, for example? A researc h group carried out an investigation and asked people how well they know their neighbors and this is what the research group discovered. Surprisingly, 77 percent of people say they know their neighbors. It also emerged that if they live in a house, regardless of town or rural area, a massive 80 percent of them know their neighbors. However, t he figure drops to 75 percent if they’re in a flat. The survey also revealed that people appear to get friendlier as they get older. In fact, only 64 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds know their neighbors, but for people aged 55-64 this number climbs to 88 percent. Interestingly enough, it turns out that men are a little less likely to say they know their neighbors than women, and the rich are closer to their neighbors than the less well-off. This topic was very popular with lots of BBC listeners and provoked plenty of comments on the BBC’s iPM website. One of the listeners said, “I only really got to know my neighbors when their house caught fire. We’re good friends now.” Another one recalled, “When we moved into our house three years ago, the first remark our neighbor made was, ‘So, you’re moving in? I hope you don’t have noisy kids.’ We reassured him we had no children and tried to make conversation but with no success.” Q1: What question did the research group try to find an answer to? Q2: Which age group is more likely to know their neighbors?Q3: Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? Q4: What do the website’s comments mentioned at the end of the passage imply?Passage 2 Scripts and answers Many neighbor disputes end up in court because of poor communication. If somethingdangerous or 1) illegal happens, the cops are the obvious solution. But if problems that arise are grayer, communication is the best way to save money and trouble. Here are some tips to be a good neighbor and deal with a bad one: ? Get to know each other. Being a good neighbor doesn’t mean 2) taking family vacations together. Just knowing them well enough to say hi, or maybe borrowing a cup of sugar or loaning a gardening tool, can build trust and understanding. Issues are much more likely to occur among strangers than even casual3) acquaintances. ? Head off problems before they’re problems. If you are 4) throwinga party at your place, go to all neighbors who might be affected and offer them two things: a 5) verbal invitation to the party and a card with your phone number. If theyare not 6) tolerant of the noise or there are other problems, your neighbors can call you instead of asking the police to 7) intervene. ? Tell your neighbors what’s bothering you –don’t assume they know what the problem is. Be open and direct, not passive-aggressive. Ask for their opinions, and wherever possible, propose a solution that 8) splits the difference and demonstrates a willingness to compromise. Stay cool and positive, even if your neighbors are not. ? Check with other neighbors. See if anybody else on the block is having similar issues – they may be willing to help 9) resolve it. If one of the neighbors is close to the troublemaker, have them come with you when you 10) talk it out. Bottom line? As with any relationship, being a good neighbor –or dealing with a bad one – is all about communication.Unit 4 What’s the big idea?Further practice in listeningShort conversations ScriptsConversation 1 M: Ted said he’d made up hi s mind to quit school and set up his own computer company. W: He’s told many people about his plan but I wonder where he could get so much money. Besides, he never showed any real curiosity in our computer class. He is a complete layman as far as the computer is concerned. Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 2 W: It is reported that researchers have developed tiny engines which are able to break down the pollu tants in wastewater to create clean water. I think that’ll be great news to people in areas l acking water. M: Well, I am thinking that whether people in those areas can afford the engines. Q: What is the man worried about?Conversation 3 W: Driving all the way to work and back every day really makes me exhausted. If only the cars could drive auto matically. M: Well, haven’t you heard that some engineers are working on intelligent cars? I suppose that you will soon be able to purchase one as long as you can afford it. Q: What can we infer from the conversation?Conversation 4 M: A Dutch airline rolled out a new program recently. It enables travelers to choose their seat partners based on the online profiles of those sharing the flight. Passengers can make a match by offering their Facebook data, depending on whether they’re looking for a potential p ersonal or business relationship. W: Aha, that’s really a fantastic idea. I’d like to have a try as early as possible. Q: What are they talking about?Conversation 5 M: I am thinking of starting my own business. But I haven’t got any idea of what to do. It seems that many young people are pouring into the online business. W: If I were you, I’d like to offer the online video editing service. Many people shoot videos but don’t know how to edit. Maybe this isthe online business opportunity for you! Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?Long conversation Scripts M: Alas! This creative writing class is too much! I have to write a five-page short story by October 8t h, and I have no idea what to write about. W: We’re already two months into the semester, you must have written stories before now. What did you write about last time? M: That’s just it –we’ve only had to write。

Some of them have gone to the top, which has given women prid e and self-confid ence. Of course the picture is not perfect. In the first place a very large number of women d o not even try to enter 'mal e' professions because they lack the necessary training or because they are not bold enough to take risks on new paths. For one woman executive or one woman judge, there are still countl ess typists and saleswomen who struggl e through their day without any sense of fulfillment. Besid es, many of their braver sisters, who dare to compete with men in higher fiel ds, find that mal e opposition is still strong, and that society is still ready to explain a woman's success by reasons that have nothing to do with her intelligence. Still, the fact remains that women are now free to enter any career that attracts them; the situation has improved, and the tid e is not likely to turn back.Part CPassage 1Many peopl e suffer from some form of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for almost no reason. Others go around in a state of continual uneasiness. How d o we control anxiety? The best way is to take drugs which help patients manage their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are abl e to work, to sl eep and to go to places they feared to visit before. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system have not been known for a long time.Scientists have started a series of studies to id entify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the costs and benefits of the anti-anxiety drugs. They are valuabl e because they can reduce the effects of expected failure, frustration and disappointment. But their value d emands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. First, they weaken a person's ability to react to changes; second, they fail to help a person d eal with unexpected troubl es. It is fairly sure that peopl e will meet with problems they have never expected, so these harmful effects may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the passage you've just heard.1. What d oes the passage mainly tell us?2. What is the speaker's attitud e toward anti-anxiety drugs?Passage 2Are some peopl e born cl ever, and others born stupid? Or is the d evelopment of intelligence d epend ent on environment and experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will d evel op his intelligence l ess than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.It is easy to show that intelligence is something we are born with. The cl oser the bl ood relationship between two peopl e, the cl oser they are likely to be in intelligence. Therefore if we take two unrelated peopl e at rand om from the population, it is likely that their d egree of intelligence will be compl etely different. If we take two id entical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence d epends on birth.Imagine that we take two id entical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for exampl e, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We woul d soon find differences in intelligence d evel opment, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that peopl e who live in cl ose contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have a similar d egree of intelligence.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the passage you've just heard.3. Which of the foll owing can best serve as a titl e of the passage?4. What d oes the example of sending the twins to different places show us?重点单词及词组重点单词及词组重点单词及词组Part A bl oodsucking 吸血动物的mosquito 蚊子malaria 疟疾gall on 加仑pesticid e 杀虫剂Part B competent 有能力的opposition 反对，敌对fulfillment 履行，实行Part C anxiety 忧虑occasional 偶然的intelligence 智力。

It pained Catherine to see her mother suffer and become someone who depends entirely on others. Catherine tried hard to find a way to give her mother something to look forward to. Then one night last August an idea occurred to her. She would write a letter to the local newspaper, telling people how much she loved her mother and asking them to send her their best wishes. The letter was published and within weeks her mother had received about 500 loving caring cards and letters. Catherine was so excited to see that her mother's old spirit returned. Her mother fought against her disease until she died in October. Today the letters have become a treasured memory and a constant source of inspiration for Catherine.Question:What does the passage mainly tell us?Passage 2:The nuclear family generally consists of a husband, a wife and children. However, if there are no children, then the husband and wife are the nuclear family. If you put two or more nuclear families together, then you have an extended family. For the most part, in an extended family a married couple lives with either the husband's parents or the wife's parents. But the couple may also live with aunts, uncles, cousins and others who are not blood relations.The extended family pattern is favored in some countries. For example, as a rule, people choose to live in extended families in Africa and Japan. In other countries, the nuclear family pattern is favored. In these countries, where people can choose the pattern they want, they normally choose to live only with their nuclear family.Question:What can we learn from the passage?Passage 3:In some industrialized countries, the majority of elderly people don't see their children on a regular basis due to the fact that they move so often. Then do you know what percentage of theelderly live in the same household with their children, or live within ten minutes of their children by car? The answer is 60 percent of the elderly do. However, even though they may live close to their children, they do not see their children very often. They do not see their brothers and sisters or other relatives often either because the nuclear family is so strong in these countries. But there are some elderly people who live with their children. They are living with their children because they are sick. Otherwise they would live on their own. Luckily, there are some offices and programs that take care of the elderly for families that no longer care for old people.Question:How does the speaker feel about the life of the elderly people in some industrialized countries?Part BPassage:Imagined for centuries, space exploration began over forty years ago when the former Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik 1, on 4th October 1957 into space. If Sputnik had not been launched, the modern space age might never have begun.Sputnik, which means 'fellow traveler ' in Russian, was as small as a football and was powered by battery. Compared to today's technology, it was very simple. But its effect was earth-shattering. After its launch, things began to happen quickly. Before long the Russians were sending dogs and monkeys into space and then, in April 1961, the first human being was sent into space -- a Russian cosmonaut called Yuri Gagarin.These Russian successes pushed the Americans into action and thus the 'space race' began. In 1961, President Kennedy said that America would begin a program to put a man on the moon. On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped on the surface of the moon. At this historic moment he said: 'This is one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.'Part CM: I think after all the noise in the city a quiet walk in the woods can be very restful.W: You're right there. I feel the same.M: Look, it's so pretty when the leaves are changing color. I'm glad we decided to come here. W: Changes in nature always make things so beautiful. In the spring, the green grass and leaves make everything seem new. In the autumn when the leaves turn red, yellow and brown, the woods are full of color. No wonder autumn is also called fall. When leaves fall on the ground, they cover it like a blanket.M: Actually tree leaves turn color because in the autumn days are shorter than in the summer, and the number of daylight hours decreases. I'm sure this does not sound very romantic, but it's scientifically accurate.W: Scientifically accurate or not, I just enjoy looking at the trees that can have a dozen different shades of color in the sunlight.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the dialogue you've just heard.1. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?2. Why do tree leaves change color according to the man?Part DPassage 1In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. When one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he still wants people to think that he is. That's what 'keeping up with the Joneses' is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American named Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors; they try to look as rich and as successful as their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it 'keeping up with the Joneses', because 'Jones' is a very common name in the United States. 'Keeping up with the Joneses' came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the 'right' books, go to the 'right' universities and eat in the 'right' restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are 'Joneses' in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1. What does the expression 'Keeping up with the Joneses' mean according to the passage?2. What does the speaker think of the practice of 'keeping up with the Joneses'?Passage 2Ozone is a form of oxygen. It is found in the air we breathe and in the upper atmosphere. Near Earth, ozone in the air is a danger to life. It is a pollutant. But between ten and fifty kilometers up in the atmosphere, ozone protects life on Earth. Ozone forms in the atmosphere through the action of radiation from the sun. Ozone blocks harmful radiation from reaching Earth. Scientists say a decrease in ozone and an increase in the harmful radiation will cause many more cases of skin cancer. And it will harm crops, animals and fish.Ozone problems first became known in 1985. British scientists reported that ozone levels in the Antarctic atmosphere near the South Pole fell sharply each year in October and November. 1987 was the first year that a huge hole developed in the ozone layer above the Antarctic.A recent study of the atmosphere over the Arctic area near the North Pole showed extreme thinning of the ozone. Officials from the American space agency said the latest study is a result of the largest campaign yet to measure ozone amounts and changes in the Arctic area. NASAresearcher Paul Newman said some of the measurements show ozone in the Arctic decreased about sixty per cent between January and the middle of March. These measurements are similar to the ozone losses observed in this area a few years ago.Other studies have shown that man-made chemicals were destroying ozone in the atmosphere. An international agreement halted production of the most harmful chemicals. The new findings support the idea that recovery of the ozone layer may be delayed.1. Where can ozone be found useful to life according to the passage?2. When did ozone problems first become known?3. What is the passage mainly about?重点单词及词组Part Bexploration 探险Sputnik 人造地球卫星historic 历史性的Part Cin nature 实际上，本质上Part Doxygen 氧atmosphere 大气，空气upper 上面的pollutant 污染物质。

Few people may realize, however, that painting the walls, knitting bedspreads or sewing pill ows can help relieve the life pressures we all experience.Studies indicate that engaging in creative endeavors such as sew ing and crafting can lower one's risk of stroke, kidney damage andheart disease.These calming, repetitive activities relax the mind and can lower blood pressure. Sharing such activities can also be a way to spendtime with loved ones, which increases our sense of belonging andfurther reduces stress.People have always turned to working with their hands in times of stress. Handicraft works, with their symbols of hope, have a far greater impact when created by groups.Keep in mind the following tips to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your craft projects:1. Work with materials that stimulate the senses; work in a comfortable area without distractions;play your favorite music.2.(4处答案framing) Make a family project of selecting your favorite photos, and frame them so th ey can be enjoyed every day.

Plants take water from the ground through their roots and c arbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green beca use chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright re ds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall.

(第3、4空答案mystery仅供参考，his colleagues wondered)Despite their hopes, fieldwor k in Florida and along the Gulf Coast discovered no large groups of wintering monarchs. Then in late 1972, his wife Norah wrote to newspapers in Mexico about the project, asking for volunteer s to report sightings of the butterfly and help with tagging. Finally, in response came a letter, dat ed February 26, 1973, from a man called Kenneth Brugger in Mexico City, who offered to help find the butterfly hideaway.Traveling in his motor home, Brugger drove back and forth across the Mexican countryside, l ooking for clues. He was especially watchful at dusk, when the butterflies would be moving aboutlooking for a place to sleep.At last, one day was successful. On the evening of January 9, 1975, Brugger called from Me xico. "I have found them -- millions of monarchs -- in evergreens beside a mountain clearing," he said, unable to control the excitement in his voice.High in a range of volcanic mountains that crosses central Mexico, he came upon hundreds of evergreen trees, each entirely hidden by sleeping butterflies. Some of the insects wore tags th at Mr. Urquhart and his helpers had put on them in Canada and the northern United States. The mystery was solved! The monarchs' winter home is well suited to their needs. Throughout the w inter the temperature stays near freezing. It is not cold enough to kill the visiting insects, but it i s chilly enough to keep them from moving about. The butterflies survive on the stored fat from their summer foods.In spring the butterflies awaken and fly north again. Tagged butterflies, which were marked inMexico, have been found in the United States.So one mystery is solved. But another remains. How do the butterflies find their way? Those that migrate south in the fall were born sometime during the summer or early fall. They have ne ver been to Mexico. Yet they somehow seek out the same resting places. The mystery of how t hey find their way is left for future scientists to solve.Unit 7Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. CExercise 2: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. T 7. FText 2Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

Sometimes there were naked people and sometimes there were photos of dead people from funerals. But what came to her eyes that morning was the sca riest she had ever seen. In the photographs was a young man in black gloves and belt and pan ts, with a white T-shirt saying Natural Selection. He was seen either vigorously waving pipe bom bs in the air or holding a shotgun. In the background of the photographs Kelly could see pipe b ombs with nails taped all around them so they would hurt people when the bombs went off.Photo clerks at her shop are told to report possible suspects of various crimes to authorities. Sometimes, however, there is no clear direction on what should be reported. But the photos of the young man left no doubt in Kelly's mind.Kelly turned to her boss and said, "I'm going to call the police." But the manager hesitated, f or he was afraid that this might bring trouble to him and his business. So she consulted her fath er, a veteran police officer, who told her to dial 911 at once.Officers were waiting when the customer came to pick up the photos. Kelly's decisive action may have prevented mass murder, according to the authorities. The 19-year-old student in the ph otographs had taken the pictures as a final step in a two-year-long plot to blow up and gun dow n crowds of students at his college.

In the large majority of right-handers, about 98 or 99 percent, speech is controlled by the left side of the brain.The right side of the brain, however, is usually used for recognizing and remembering faces and understanding relationships in space. In left-handers, it is difficult to know exactly their patter ns of brain organization. About 65 to 70 percent of left-handers have speech controlled by the le ft side of the brain, which is also true of right-handers. But in 30 to 35 percent of left-handers s peech is controlled by the right side of the brain. In some left-handers, both sides of the brain are capable of controlling speech.Unit 9Part BText 1Exercise 1:1. In Mr. Andrew Song's office2. Boss and secretary.3.

I mean to know what you want from a negotiatio n, what your aims and objectives are. Without clear aims, you can't have clear thinking, so aims are vital. What do you want? A contract? A firm agreement? Or just to find out a few things?Then, you have to know what's the minimum deal. Decide what is the lowest offer you can accept for a deal.Then you have to know where you can give way, or make concessions. So fixing concession s and targets is important. Without that you end up agreeing to something and later you think " Oh no, that's a bad deal!" Or you miss out on what seemed a bad deal at the time but was infact okay, not bad anyway.Another area is to know your strengths and your weaknesses. This is as important as being aware of the opportunities and threats -- or dangers -- that exist outside, from competitors for ex ample. So, know the market, know your strengths, and know about prices and other possibilities. If you do this, you can see the negotiation in its proper context. Then you need to prepare all supporting information. Figures, numbers, pictures, whatever. It could be anything, but the most i mportant thing is that you can support what you say. It helps you to be clear.eds a clear role, clear responsibilities.Finally, your opening remarks. Prepare what to say.

Life was good. She had a multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angel es, a 25-acre ranch in Hailey, Idaho. Nothing about that glamorous life had anything in commonwith her poor childhood.She grew up in New Mexico. Her parents were hard drinkers who moved her and her half-br other 30 times before settling in Los Angeles when she was 14. Fiercely ambitious, Moore began modeling while at high school and dropped out at 16 to pursue an acting career. Soon after sh e turned 18, she got a part in a popular soap opera. But her big break came in 1985 when shestarred as a drug addict in a hit movie.Moore met Bruce Wilis in 1987. It was love at first sight. They got married in Las Vegas four months later. The next year, Wilis starred in Die Hard, making him one of Hollywood's top-paid actors, while Moore's success in Ghost and A Few Good Men boosted her paycheck to more than $12 million per movie.(In the 1990s答案未知)These were followed by three big-budget movies, one of which was The Scarlet Letter. Then her career stalled. And in October 2000, her 13-year-old marriage ended in divorce. Later she m oved out of Hollywood. Since then, she has been living a simpler life, residing full time in her ra nch in Idaho. Her ambition is now focused not on stardom but on being a good mother to her d aughters with Wilis.

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit14中级口译听力教程第三版6BUnit 14. Part one. A great musician. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about Beethoven and decide whether the following statements are true, T, or false, F.Although Beethoven could sit down and make up music easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he rewrote and corrected his work, because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself. When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse. And at last, he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear, he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair. He was sure that he was going to die. He went away to the country and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. It was impossible for me to ask men to speak loud or shout for I am deaf, he wrote. How could I possibly admit them in affirmative in the one sense, which should be more perfect in me than in others. I must live like an exile. He long to die. And said to death, come when you will, I shall meet you bravely. In fact Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music. Though he could hear what he wrote only more and more faintly, he wrote his best music, the music we remember him for after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians hadwritten for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music which reminds us of his trouble and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything. And he called one of his symphonies the eroica or heroic symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man. Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous fifth symphony he said, thus fate knocks on the door. In time Beethoven went completely deaf, so deaf that he could not hear even the stormiest part of his exiting music. But in those years he wrote more glorious leaf than ever. He could hear his music with his mind if not with his ears. His friends had to write down what they wanted to say to him. He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, The Ninth, acquire seems a wonderful him of joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.2. Listen again and supply the missing information in the following passage.Part 2. Statements. 2. Exercises.

Exercises.1. Background music. Listen to the following conversation about background music and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: What are you working on now?W: I’ve just finished a piece on background music. Oh, like the music they are playing here now. You hear it everywhere in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores, and banks too. I noticed that while we were at bank today.M: Did you? I didn’t.W: You are not supposed to notice it. It’s just there in the background. It’s supposed to influence your attitudes, pulling you the right mood.M: I am not sure I like that idea.W: Well, it seems to work. Company is paying millions of dollars every year for backgroundmusic. It’s supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and they work better that way. In one factory music increase production by 4.5 percent.M: I should think that they will get tired if hearing music allday.W: They don’t though. One fellow in San Francisco told me if the music stops somebody always runs to the telephone to complain.M: Now that I think about it I can’t remember when there wasn’t background music in restaurants and stores.W: That shows how young you are. Actually it all started during world war two when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now of course the music is piped in by a machine. And different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at 10 in the morning than at 8 for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.M: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?W: I don’t know about that. But I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing fast music they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating. The time was 22 before that.M: So they have more people coming in and up to buy hamburgers.W: Exactly. And that’s good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services.M: I still think there is something about it that I don’t quite like.W: I know what you mean. But lots of people will not agree with you. The Xerox corporation in Rochester New York spends more than 80,000 dollars a year for background music. Prisons use it and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It’s evensupposed to have effect on plants.Questions:1) When did background music started to be used in factories?2) Why is fast background music used in hamburger places?3) Which of the following statements is not true about background music?4) Which of the following is not mentioned as a place where you can hear background music?2. Native American music. Listen to the following talk about Jazz, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.Of all the varieties of music which fill our concert halls, theatres and nightclubs, only Jazz is native American music. Symphonies and concertos, the ancestors of movie and television scores as well as of serious legitimate electronic music were first composed in Germany. Musical comedies are descended from opera which was first performed in Italy. And our ever popular nightclub singers are the music heirs of the French singers. The one form of music which does not originate in Europe and which is popular today world wide is Jazz. Jazz was born in New Orleans, the child of the blacks. It drew on the rhythms as well as the emotionalism of the African music of the black’s ancestors which has been transformed into rap tongues and blues. From rap tongue Jazz took a single pitted rhythms, while from the blues it adopted monologue and harmonic elements such as mournful tunes once sung by slaves and close Barbie shop type chromatic coordination.Questions:1) Where did symphonies and concertos originate?2) What is the origin of musical comedies perform now?3) What kind of music is jazz based on?3. The receiver of music. Here is a short talk about music. Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.We may engage ourselves with music as a creator that is a composer, or as a re-creator that is a performer. But most of us engage ourselves with music as a receiver or a listener. As a listener we respond to music with different levels of receptivity. We may be very casual and careless about the way we hear music, paying almost no attention to it. Elevator or telephone music, for example, is not meant to be listened to intently. We’ve all used music as background sound to create a pleasant atmosphere for our own quiet thought. On the other hand, especially when we are on the road an easy listening can create a dream like haze, so we may deliberately tune out the music so as to concentrate on the driving. However, there are other times when music is the center of our focus, and we give out our full attention. This could be in a church, at a special event, or at a concert. But how are we supposed to listen? And what are we supposed to listen for? Basically there are two ways to experience music. Some people let the sounds wash over them like a sonic bath and emotional flood. This is the sensuous level. Other listeners respond on a perceptive or analytical level, paying attention to various aspects of the music as they unfold. They listen for musically events. The first level of attending to music is purely emotive, the second analytical. Ideally we learn to listen more perceptively in order to increase the emotional impact. The second way of perceptive or analytical listening reviews the expressive power of the music composition so that we can enjoy it more fully.Questions:1) What role do most of us play when we engage ourselves with music?2) Why do we sometimes deliberately tune out the music when we are on the road?3) According to the talk where is music most likely to become the center of our focus?4) How can we enjoy the music composition more fully?Part four. Listening and translation. 2. Exercises.1. Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) At the end of 2 day board meeting the chairman declared that the motion was carried by a majority of 6 to 1.2) Scientists used to think that men are different from animals, because they can think and learn. They now know that animals can also learn.3) Scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals can not speak, they make noises when they are afraid or unhappy.4) According to the association for computing machinery more than 230 companies exhibited and a rough estimated of the visitors topped 24,000 from 79 countries for the 34th annual event.5) Unemployed women living with a child under age 6 spent about an hour less per day working than employed women living in households with no children.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all theinhabitants English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. In fact the British Isles contain a variety of people, and only the people of England call themselves English. The others refer to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish as the case may be.2) Talking about my favorite clothing right now. Well, I am ina transitional period between unique and conservative. I am almost on the school and I am working part time in an office. Well, my favorite unique clothing, I have a pair of pants that I got from a vintage clothing store. You know those stores where you buy old clothe and stuff. And I guess it’s a wool, checked pants that are weighed too big. I definitely have to worry about with them. I wore them in high school and college, there are pair pants that I probably won’t ever throw away.Unit fourteenPart one A create MusicianInfirmity体弱; 虚弱; 衰弱bad health caused by old age or illnessExile eksa?l n.流放; 放逐; 充军/长期去国或离家/（自愿或被迫）去国者To compose写, 创作（乐曲﹑歌剧等/（不用於被动语态某事物的部分或成分）构成（整体）; 组成/不用於被动语态（自己[某事物]）安定, 平静, 镇静, 冷静: Stately威严的; 庄严的; 堂皇的; 宏伟的; 盛大的Symphony交响曲; 交响乐Hymn h?m;赞美诗, 圣歌（尤指基督徒为颂扬上帝而唱的）.Part threeHamburgerSymphonyConcerto k?n?t?e?t?u协奏曲To descend下去; 下降/从某人处继承, 传下, 遗传/（指夜﹑黑暗）降临/be descended from sb为某人的後裔To originate ~ in sth; ~ from/with sb have sth/sb as a cause or beginning 始自某事物[某人]; 起因; 发端/创作, 发明（某事物）To draw ondraw on/upon sth use sth 使用; 利用; 运用draw sb on attract or entice sb 吸引或引诱某人RhythmEmotionalismSyncopated sounds or movements emphasize the weak beats instead of the strong beatsSyncopate切分（音乐的节奏或节拍）（使强弱倒置Melodic m??l?d?k;曲调的; 旋律的; 音调优美的.Harmonic和声的Chromatic kr?um?t?k颜色鲜艳的. 有半音阶的Chord（音乐的）和弦, 和音.Haze迷糊; 疑惑/薄雾; 霾Perceptive观察敏锐的; 善於理解的/有理解力的; 有洞察力的; 有识别力的To unfold（使某物）展开, 打开/（使某事物）显露, 展现New Orleans新奥尔良美国路易斯安那州东南部城市。

Unit 14 Part B Text 1 Genetic Engineering: for Better or Worse? Technology is not only used to build spaceships and high-speed computers. It is also being used to create new plants and animals. This technology is known as genetic engineering. At the moment people all over the world are arguing about its benefits and drawbacks. Some people are concerned that genetically engineered plants may harm the environment. Others are worried that they may be dangerous for people to eat. For many years farmers have crossbred plants to create new types of plants that were, for example, bigger, stronger, or more attractive. Crossbreeding can take many years, however, and it is not precise. Now we can change exact sections of DNA, so the process is more accurate and faster. There are many reasons for changing plants in this way. Some genetically engineered plants can live through frost or draught. As a result, farmers can make more profit because fewer plants will die. Other genetically engineered plants are more nutritious, have less fat, taste better or stay fresher than non-genetically engineered plants. This will allow people to buy better-quality fruit and vegetables. Another advantage of genetically engineered plants is that some can resist natural pests such as viruses or insects. This reduces the amount of chemicals needed to kill pests, which is helpful to the environment. However, genetically engineered plants can cause unexpected problems. Genetically engineered plants that resist pests may pass on that characteristic to a wild relative. This may cause the wild plant to spread fast, because pests are not naturally killing it. Genetically engineered plants can also harm animals. A type of corn has been developed that kills a species of insect that destroys it. The pollen from this corn, however, can also kill monarch butterflies, which do not harm the corn. Genetic engineering is a very new science and we have a lot to learn about the good it can do and the damage it can cause. The main concern is that not enough tests are being done to ensure it is safe.

According to the passage, one of the problems caused by genetic engineering might be_______. Text 2 Bioethics Man: I've just been reading this amazing article about genetic engineering. The things they can do now. Woman: I know, it's frightening, isn't it? Man: No, not a bit. I mean if we can produce fruit that doesn't rot, animals that eat less and produce more, what's so scary about that? Woman: OK. But you know those new microorganisms that they are producing. Well, you only need a laboratory accident and the effects would be far more disastrous than AIDS, for instance. Man: Why are you always so negative? Woman: I'm not negative. Man: Soon I'll be able to have a genetic screening done and they'll be able to tell me what diseases I'm likely to have. Woman: OK. But what if they tell you you're going to have a disease for which there's currently no known cure? That's not going to be much help, is it? Man: Yeah, but if I know it's hereditary then I might think twice before having any children. Woman: But you know where all this is leading, don't you? To a revival of eugenics, like they're going to be able to remove potentially harmful genes, like the ones that cause criminality, low IQ. Man: And people like you with a bit of luck! Woman: No, seriously. They can take a piece of someone's hair now and tell you all about that person's medical life. Now that could be an incredible invasion of someone's privacy. Man: What do you mean? Woman: Look. So at your job interview they ask you for a piece of hair, ring you up ten days later or whatever and tell you they don't want to employ you because you've got such and such a disease and you might die in five years. Man: Don't be absurd. Woman: I'm not being absurd. Man: Do you think people would let them get away with that, huh? What is all this? It sounds like you've been reading 1984. Why don't you look on the practical side of things for a change?

Statements: 1. Both the speakers are against genetic engineering. 2. The woman sounds very optimistic about genetic engineering. 3. Genetic screening can tell you what diseases you may possibly develop. 4. Genes that cause criminality or low IQ can be removed from human bodies. 5. A job interviewer will resort to genetic screening to find out whether a job interviewee is
