新视野大学英语视听说2Passage汇总.pdf

Unit1Passage 1I began learning Spanish when I was in high school, using a traditional academic method of studying verbs, sentence structures, and grammar by using textbooks and not much else. I found it very easy to learn, but was frustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanish classes. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip alevel by the end of the semester.This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was not willing to test me or otherwise prove that I could be successful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of the classroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, and linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found thein-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with a church group, where I found myself acting as an interpreter. It was certainly challenging, but it was also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers. This is probably where I learned the most!Passage 2Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an 1) alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite 2) numerous reasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the 3) traditional school environment, the lack of religious or moral instruction, and the dissatisfaction with the 4) academic instruction at public and private schools. Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be a choice for families living in isolated 5) countryside or living briefly abroad. Also many young 6) athletes and actors are taught at home.Homeschoolers often 7) take advantage of educational opportunities at museums, libraries, community centers, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, parks, and other community resources. 8) Secondary school level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies.Groups of homeschooling families often join up together to create homeschool co-ops. These groups typically meet once a week and provide a classroom environment. These are family-centered support groups whose members seek to pool their talents and resources 9) in a collective effort to broaden the scope of their children's education. They provide a classroom environment where students can do hands-on and group learning such as performing, science experiments, art projects, foreign language study, spelling contests, discussions, etc. Parents whose children take the classes 10) serve as volunteers to keep costs low and make the program a success.TestMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, (1) political methods, geography, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Others go to school to learn skills in order to make a living. (2)Traditional education is very useful and important. Yet, no one can (3)acquire everything from school.A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's main job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to (4)bear in mind some facts or some skills. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very (5) difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.Great scientists didn't get everything from school. Edison didn't even finish junior school. And yet, he (6) invented so many new things. These scientists were so (7)successful, but their teachers only showed them the way. The (8) reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that they were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did (9)thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Most important was that they knew how to use their (10)brains.Unit 2Passage 1I believe watching nature programs on television is not going to give us and our children a real experience of nature. On the contrary, they may distance us from nature — actual nature — even further.Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and within nature, to experience it with all five senses.True, TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with nature. We watch our small screens come alive with the vividcolors and we all let out "aahhhh..." and "wooooow". But, never once will we feel the pleasure of being close to nature.Worse still — the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange, and so far away, in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children may grow up without even realizing that the flowers, plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is — nature is so close to us. We don't need to go anywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or, in parks, gardens, forests, or national parks.All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature — know it, appreciate it, and explore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil — all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.Passage 2I have never been able to understand people who don't see the point in traveling. The common reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I've heard some are 1) scared to travel too far away. I can't help but feel sorry particularly for those who 2) perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent 3) negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn't 4) result in the expected curiosity but a "Why would you wanna go there!?" It makes me 5) lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.It was Mark Twain who said, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry andnarrow-mindedness," which in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren't enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad, you should do it despite going out of your comfort zone. You might realize why you loved it once you're back home.I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home, don't know what to do with your future, your life, your partner —anything. Once you are away, 8) preferably somewhere very new and unknown, you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life and especially the new relationships you build, even if only for a short period of time, 10) reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.TestNowadays it is very common for people to get away on a (1)vacation trip any time. People from all (2)walks of life, both young and old, enjoy traveling. Some even consider traveling as part of their (3)routine lifestyle.Most of the younger travelers tend to seek fun, discovery and (4)adventure in their travels. They prefer to visit strange and exotic (异国情调的) places. The older travelers, on the other hand, tend to look for a more pleasant and enjoyable trip. In fact, it was not too long ago that an increasing number of older people started to go for leisure trips more often. It could be that after spending a major part of their life working so hard, they felt that they needed to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Leisure traveling has become a (5)treat they give to themselves for the years of hard work they have done.Perhaps, the reason for the (6)popularity of traveling is that more people have come to realize its benefits. When we visit other countries, we (7)gain a better understanding of the people living there. We learn about their culture, history and background. We discover the (8)similarities they have with us, as well as their differences from us.Also, traveling helps to enrich our lives. It increases our knowledge and widens our (9)perspective. When we visit interesting places, we discover new people and things, which not only provide us fun, but also provide us (10)marvelous insights and enlightens our minds.Unit 3Passage 1Since I'm a student, I go to school on weekdays and so I don't have too much free time. I usually spend six or seven hours at school. After that I either go downtown for some shopping or go home and study. If I have some free time during the week I might read a book or watch TV. Lately my evenings have been spent preparing for my graduation examination, which takes up a lot of time.Even though I have a lot to do, I still have some free time for leisure activities. On weekends I like to go with my family to our cottage. I like taking long walks around the countryside and I like watching the seasons change. I have the most free time during the summer months. One of my favorite activities is to go canoeing with my friends. We borrow a couple of canoes and choose a nice spot on the river to begin. We spend the day floating down the river. Sometimes if it gets hot we jump in the water and go swimming. Of course we take breaks during the day; we stop along the river to prepare some food or to visit a local pub. In the evening we set up our tents and make a campfire. We spend the evening talking, singing songs, and enjoying nature. We often cook some sausages over the campfire. And one of my favorite things to do is wrap potatoes in foil and then cook them in the hot ashes. These wonderful trips, just like summer, always end too soon.Passage 2Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal of rock climbing is to reach the top of a formation or the endpoint of a predefined route without falling. Rock climbing competitions have 1) objectives of completing the route in the quickest possible time or reaching the 2) farthest point along an ever increasingly harder route. While not an Olympic event, rock climbing is 3) recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport.Rock climbing has been 4) separated into several different styles and subdisciplines. At its most basic, rock climbing 5) involves climbing a route with one's own hands and feet and little more than a cushioned bouldering pad for protection. This style of climbing 6) is referred to as bouldering, since the relevant routes are usually found on boulders no more than 10 to 15 feet tall. As routes get higher off the ground, the increased risk of 7) life-threatening injuries makes additional safety measures necessary. Climbers will usually work in pairs and use a system of ropes and anchors 8) designed to catch fallers.Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport that tests a climber's strength, 9) endurance, and balance along with their mental control. It can be a dangerous sport and climbers are 10) putting themselves at risk when they go climbing. However, the risk can be reduced by having the knowledge of proper climbing techniques and using specialized climbing equipment.TestMost young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind: football, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who (1)have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often (2)looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardships, and to (3)take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused (4)probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to (5)ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering (6)attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more (7)familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We are wrong about this. Yes, it's true that there are no "matches" between"teams" of climbers. But when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is (8)obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are more(9)powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport(10)requires high mental and physical qualities.Unit 4Passage 1Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in a family having a rich business, political and community service background. From childhood Bill was intelligent and competitive. In school, he had excellent records in mathematics and science. Still he was getting very bored in school and his parents knew it, so they always tried to feed him with more information to keep him busy. Bill's parents came to know about their son's intelligence and decided to send him to a private school, known for its serious academic environment. It was a very important decision in Bill's life, and it was there that he was introduced to a computer. Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in the world of programming and formed the "Programmers Group" in late 1968. In the next year, they got their first opportunity in Information Sciences Inc. in which they were selected as programmers. Bill and his close friend Allen developed a small computer to measure traffic flow and they earned around $20,000 from this project. In 1973, he left home for Harvard University. He did well there, but he didn't find it interesting. He spent many long nights in front of the school's computer and the next day was asleep in class. Bill and his friend Allen remained in close contact even though Allen was away in Washington State University. They would often discuss new ideas for future projects and the possibility of starting a business one day. At the end of Bill's first year, Allen moved closer to him so that they could follow some of their ideas. Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard, and then formed Microsoft with Allen.Passage 2Florence Nightingale was a celebrated English social reformer and the founder of modern nursing. She became famous while serving as a nurse during the Crimean War, where she tended to wounded soldiers. Early 21st century 1) commentators have asserted that Nightingale's achievements in the Crimean War had been 2) exaggerated by the media to satisfy the public's need for a hero. But later on her achievements remain widely accepted and she has generally been well regarded by historians.Nightingale was born to a wealthy upper-class family, at a time when women of her class were expected to 3) focus on marriage and child bearing. Her father had progressive social views, providing his daughter with a well-rounded education that included math, and supported her desire to 4) lead an active life.Nightingale rejected proposals of marriage so as to be free to pursue her calling. In 1860, Nightingale 5) laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment of her nursing school in London. It was the first nursing school in the world. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honor, and the 6) annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday. She made 7) a series of social reforms including improving health care for all sections of British society; improving healthcare and 8) advocating for better hunger relief in India; helping to 9) abolish laws that were overly harsh to women; and expanding the acceptable forms of female participation in the workforce. Nightingale's ability to effect reform rested on her extraordinary skills, her good reputation, and her network of 10) influential friends.TestUnless you've been living under a rock, by now you have heard of Lance Armstrong. The unusual thing here is that you may have heard of him, but not always for the same reason. Some know him as a (1)champion cyclist who set the world record by winning the Tour de France six times. Others may know of him through his humanitarian works. Still others may know him as a cancer survivor who decided to meet the (2)challenges and came out the winner.(3)Regardless of how you know him, just knowing of him at all offers your life(4)inspiration when you may need it most.Millions around the world properly celebrate him and his lofty accomplishments, his (5)remarkable recovery from what was feared to be terminal cancer, his exhausting training program, his (6)legendary endurance, his dauntless determination, and his unequalled (7)dominance of cyclin's premier event.But what explains the enormous interest in Armstrong's success —or that of any other sports hero? Why do sports fans set such a strong personal stake in the victories of their heroes? After all, little of any practical significance depends on such victories; a seventh Armstrong —win won't get his fans a raise or help send their children to college. Why do sports have such an enormous, enduring (8)appeal in human life?The answer lies in a rarely recognized aspect of sports: their moral significance. Those of us who, physically, cannot cycle 2,000 miles or run the 100 meters in 9 seconds can still (9)aspire to significant achievements. The vision of Armstrong's (10)magnificent abilities and dauntless determination engenders in the best of us the question: What might I accomplish in my field and in my life if I embodied the same degree of dedication?Unit 5Passage 1Living in the city is hard enough for a single person, but if you have kids life can get more complex. Finding ways to keep the little ones occupied can be afull-time job. So it should be no surprise that parents will go to great lengths to get a little peace and quiet.However, when I first got to know that some parents bought their young children — not teenagers — iPads, I was shocked. Who spends $500 on an iPad for a young child when so many adults in the United States go without or have limited access to computers and the Internet? Whatever happened to Lego, building blocks and colored pencils? And for those slightly older kids how about a good, old-fashioned book instead of an iPad for the car journey to the beach?Recently, I was at dinner with a couple and I brought up the subject of parents buying iPads for their young children. I was curious to see how they responded since I knew they had three young kids. It turned out they are a part of this growing trend. The iPad can download or stream cartoons, so it makes for excellent entertainment when they're trying to get to the grocery store or head out of the city for the annual family vacation. But the best thing about iPads is that there are games and educational applications for nearly every age level. It got me thinking that maybe my first reaction was a little too "reactionary". Now I can understand the parents a little better. If I had three kids and was living in the city they would probably have an iPad, too.Passage 2Around the world smart cities are being built while those we have lived in for centuries are being upgraded for the future. A smart city may mean one that uses data on traffic to ease congestion or one that aims to 1) join up services to provide better information for citizens. For many it is about making cities greener and more efficient. It is partly a 2) reaction to overcrowding and pollution and partly because in an ever-connected world it 3) makes increasing sense to hook entire cities up to the network.Masdar is a city that stands in the middle of the desert of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It is designed to be one of the most 4) sustainable cities on the planet. With a solar power station at its heart and wind farms providing energy for it, it 5) aims to be carbon free. Everything in the city, from water to rubbish, is measured and 6) monitored, becoming a source of information. The city is built on a raised platform to allow its "digital plumbers" easy 7) access to the system of advanced technologies that run it. It is pedestrian-friendly and entirely car free. The city is 8) experimenting with a network of electric driverless podcars. The PRT — personal rapid transit — will run six meters under street level across the city. The buildings in the city have been designed by Norman Foster's architecture firm, which designed a number of 9)eye-catching buildings including The City Hall in London.It is hoped that 40,000 people will eventually live in the city, with up to 50,000 10) commuting there each day.TestOf the many problems in the world today, none is as (1)widespread or as old as crime. Crime has many forms, including crimes against (2)property, person, and government. In all its forms crime (3)penetrates every layer of society and touches every human being. You may never have been (4)robbed, but you suffer the increased cost of store-bought items because of others' shoplifting, and you pay higher taxes because of others' tax evasion (逃避). Whatever you do, wherever you live, you are a (5)victim of crime whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not.Some people (6)argue about who is really to blame for criminal behavior: the individual or society. Researchers in the United States and Canada have identified several factors in society that (7)contribute to the crime rate: massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant (8)population. Other countries are more affected by factors such as politics, government corruption and religion. However, the most important problem that still(9)remains unsolved is how to stop crime from happening. So far, different types of solutions have been (10)proposed to combat various specific crimes. But they are not all very effective. Therefore, more effective measures and more powerful actions are to be taken against all sorts of crimes so that our world may be a better place to live in.Unit 6Passage 1In 1964, 19 million women were employed in the United States. Today they total 65 million, working in a wide variety of industries and increasingly pursuing higher education. The number of working women who have attended college has increased 200 percent since 1970, and the undergraduate class of XXXX was 57 percent female.Yet as far as women have come, they still earn on average only 81.2 percent as much as men and remain in lower-end jobs. What are the best-paying jobs for women? Using data on the weekly earnings of full-time workers in XXXX collected by BLS, we discovered that tech and health care is where the money's at.Female physicians and surgeons topped the list. These women earned a median of $1,618 per week, or about $84,000 a year, more than any other profession tracked by the BLS. Male doctors continue to earn more than female doctors, but the pay gap has narrowed each year; it's now at 29 percent versus 41 percent two years ago.Interestingly, the second best-paying job for women is a pharmacist. Female pharmacists make a median of $1,605 per week or about $83,500 annually, nearly as much as physicians and surgeons and more than chief executives, which came in at No. 3 on our list. Women account for 48 percent of thepharmacy profession and earn 83 percent as much as male pharmacists. Meanwhile, only 26 percent of CEOs are women, and they earn just 72 percent as much as their male peers.Now women have been moving into relatively higher-paying jobs that were traditionally male-dominated. It's been a very positive development. Overall, the gender pay gap is narrowing.Passage 2When you receive a job offer, it's important to take the time to carefully 1) evaluate the offer so you are making a sensible decision to accept or to reject it.Consider the entire 2) compensation package — salary, benefits, working environment — not just your paycheck. Money isn't the only factor to consider, but, it is an important one. Is the offer what you expected? If not, is it a salary you can accept without feeling insulted? If it isn't what you expected, consider 3) negotiating salary with your future employer.Before accepting a job, be sure that you are clear on the hours you need to work. Also, 4) confirm what, if any, travel is involved. If the position requires 45 or 50 hours of work a week and you're used to working 35 hours, consider whether you will have difficulty committing to the 5) schedule.The bottom line in accepting a job offer is that there really isn't one. Everyone has a different set of personal 6) circumstances. What might be the perfect job for you could be an awful job for someone else.It's much easier to 7) turn down an offer than to leave a job that you have already started. The same is true for your potential employer. The employer would prefer that you decline, rather than having to 8) start over the hiring process a couple of weeks down the road if you don't 9) work out. So, do take the time to thoroughly consider the offer. Ask questions, if you have them. Take your time to make an educated, 10) informed decision so you feel sure that you and the company make an excellent match.TestEvery day we hear about people making radical career changes. The(1)opportunities exist, but will all these changes make us any happier once we get there? The following are four (2)practical steps toward coming to terms with why you do what you're doing.First, realize that your job does not (3)define you, but how you do it does. Any job can be done well, done with (4)compassion, done with care. Second, stop (5)focusing on the money. Money will never be enough. Seeing where your money is really going can help you to refocus your spending toward the things you really want. Getting paid is only one small part of what you do; your work has to be more than just a pay check to be cashed. Third, find the(6)significance in what you do. This may require you to (7)think big, but it canbe done. Take some time to really think about what you do. The perspective (8)plays a huge role in personal satisfaction and the sense of well-being. Try to remember why you've taken the job in the first place. Fourth, dare to ask yourself if it's worth it. Maybe all that's needed is some refocusing. Learn to say "no". As long as you can choose the things you spend your time on, don't (9)attend events or meetings only because everyone expects it.Take a look at your life. How would you describe it? (10)Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Being held back? For many of us it's all of the above at times. There are things we dream of doing one day; there are things we wish we could forget. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate?Unit 7Passage 1"Wilfing", or surfing the Web without any real purpose, has become a new national pastime. It is the virtual equivalent of window shopping, and a lot of us seem to be spending a lot of time doing it.Although a newly-identified habit, more than two-thirds of the 33.7 million Internet users in the UK admit to at least occasional "wilfing", while browsing the Internet.The attraction of pop-up sites and flashing online advertisements is too appealing to resist for many Internet users. Almost a quarter of those surveyed said they spent 30 percent or more of their Internet time wilfing — the equivalent of spending an entire working day every fortnight pointlessly jumping between random pages.The YouGov survey of more than 2,400 Web users found that shopping websites are the most likely destinations for wilfers. Other popular pulls include news, music and travel websites.The poll found the tendency to wilf is more widespread among men than women. Gazing at a series of pointless web pages also appeared to be the preserve of the young, with people aged 55 or over being three times less likely to browse absent-mindedly than those under 25.The time-consuming practice appears to have destructive effects, too: A third of males admitted that wilfing has a damaging effect on the relationship with their partners.One in five confessed to being "distracted" from work or study by adult entertainment websites, which often use pop-up mechanisms and bulk emails to trap users into transferring to their pages.Passage 2The New York Police Department (NYPD) announced it will form a new unit to search social media as part of the combined efforts against criminals. This is。

At the moment, I' m studying Spanish. I ' m enjoying it but I 'm finding it quite difficult. Today we 're asking people about learning new things.Part 2W1: I 'm learning to speak another language, actually. I ' m learning French. I ' m also learning, er, to drive.W2: I ' m learning to play golf at the moment. Um, my husband and my son play golf, and when we go on holiday, I feel that I want to be able to play with them.W3: I ' m learning to speak Spanish.W4: I am learning Arabic.M1: Well, I ' ve been learning to play the guitar for about 50 years now.

Er, let me show you.Part 3H: What ' s the most difficult thing you ' ve ever learned?M5: Patience, I think.W4: Arabic.M2: Courage.W3: Learning a language is particularly difficult for myself (me), so probably learning the Spanish.W6: The most difficult thing I have ever learned is Mandarin Chinese. I did it in evening classes a few years ago and I found it really, really difficult.W5: Probably capoeira, which is a Brazilian dance, martial art, fight thing. It ' s a combination of all of these things.

It 's quite difficult by most standards.M4: I think I found French very hard at school.W2: Um, I learned to play the trumpet at school. That was pretty difficult. Er ... and maybe learning to drive. I hated learning to drive.ListeningScriptsP = presenter; S = SallyP: Hi. You 're listening to Ask the Expert and in today 's program we're talking about languages and how to learn a language. Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally. S: Hello.P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy. He says, 've just started“le I arning English. Myproblem is that I 'm too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so I 'm worried about saying the wrong thing. ” Have you got any advice for Andy?S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.P: Speaking to himself? I 'm not sure that' s a good idea.S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to practice. You don't have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like - what you had for breakfast, where you' re going for the weekend -anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation, so you won ' t feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it. P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?S: He has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, but that ' s not a problem. That' s how he' ll learn. Andy shouldn ' t worry about making mistakes. P: You' re right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and don ' t worry about making mistakes.Our next problem comes from Olivia in Brazil. She is worried about pronunciation. She says, “ The problem is I can ' t understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I can ' t understand their pronunciation. ” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?S: Well, first of all it ' s a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to English as much as possible to get used to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.P: OK - that' s a good idea.S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen and read at the same time, it' ll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, I ' m afraid that' s all we have time for today, but next week we' ll be …ViewingScriptsN = Narrator; I = Ian Deary; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict, to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK?M1: OK.N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time they 've done this test. The first time was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. It 's the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older, these results are a potential goldmine.I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time limit.M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at11. But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.I: Now, that 's what really drives our research. We 're interested in: Why have those people who ' ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recipe for successful aging? We ' re finding that the person with more education,even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N: What ' s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsA: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.B: Yep.A: Er, well, how about this one? It 's a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life.A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.A: Yeah, I, I think it ' s more motivating.B: And you can actually talk to someone, not just look at books. I find that if I ' m only reading my notes it ' s easy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talking to someone, it really helps you concentrate. So, yes, I agree with this one.A: OK. Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam.B: Oh, really?A: Mm, when I eat a lot, I get sleepy.B: Oh, I see. I think it depends. Because if you don ' t eat enough, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.A: Mm, that ' s true.B: And then you can ' t concentrate.A: Yeah, that 's true.B: So, I ' m not sure about this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal before an exam. I'm so nervous that I never get sleepy.A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?B: Well, there ' s one thing I always do before an exam.A: What ' s that?B: I go to bed early the night before.A: Right.B: I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: It is the third time my paper has been rejected by journals because of language problems. M: You know, there is a writing center on campus. I had never got a grade better than C for any of my term papers before they helped me out.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Conversation 2M: You said you would choose Spanish as your second foreign language. Why did you finally choose French instead?W: My grandfather speaks fluent French and he says that French is a language that any truly cultured person must know.Q: Why does the woman choose to learn French?Conversation 3W: You seem to have no problem understanding native speakers now. How about Dr. Brown ' s speech last night?M: Excellent. But it was still too fast for me to follow, especially when Dr. Brown talked about those abstract theories.Q: What did the man do last night?Conversation 4M: It seems to me that Melissa is in a bad mood today. What ' s wrong with her?W: Melissa forgot to bring her identification card yesterday and she was not allowed to enter the contest. You know she had prepared for the contest for months.Q: What made Melissa unhappy?Conversation 5W: I think my time at school is wasted because it is just studying books and doing tests. M: But you also learn new ideas and new ways of thinking. And more importantly you meet people and develop your understanding of people at school.Q: What does the man think of the woman ' s opinion?Long conversationScriptsM: Miranda, let ' s speak about your performance in class. You ' re not participating; you ' re careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don ' t want to be here, do you?W: I'm sorry Dr. Smith. It ' s just ---ve got lots of things to do. I ' m studying Web design and I'm a first-class player on our golf team. It 's hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language class!M: Well, I ' m sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico.W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I ' m supposed to learn Spanish -on top of everything else I have to learn? It ' s just too much! And if I don' t spend enough time on the golf course, I won ' t remain a first-class player on the golf team.I still don ' t see why I should learn a language that' s so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!M: Listen Miranda, I ' ve known your father since we were students at university 20 yearsago - and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen.W: Yes, of course, you ' re like my favorite uncle.M: Your brain isn ' t like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it ' s like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity.W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.Passage 1ScriptsI began learning Spanish when I was in high school, using a traditional academic method ofstudying verbs, sentence structures, and grammar by using textbooks and not much else. I found it very easy to learn, but was frustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanish classes. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level by the end of the semester.This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was not willing to test me or otherwise prove that I could be successful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of the classroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, and linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found the in-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with a church group, where I found myself acting as an interpreter. It was certainly challenging, but it was also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers. This is probably where I learned the most!Q1: What do we know about the speaker ' s Spanish learning experience in high school?Q2: What made the speaker feel frustrated while leaning Spanish in high school?Q3: What did the speaker say about her study of Spanish literature in college?Q4: Which experience benefited the speaker most in terms of her use of Spanish?Passage 2Scripts and answersHave you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an 1) alternativeto public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite 2) numerousreasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the 3) traditionalschool environment, the lack of religious or moral instruction, and the dissatisfaction with the 4) academicinstruction at public and private schools. Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be a choice for families living in isolated 5) countrysideor living briefly abroad. Also many young 6) athletesand actors are taught at home. Homeschoolers often 7) take advantage ofeducational opportunities at museums, libraries, community centers, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, parks, and other community resources. 8) Secondaryschool level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies.Groups of homeschooling families often join up together to create homeschool co-ops.

I love going to new places and learning about new cultures. Today, I' m asking people about travel.Part 2W1: I love travel. It ' s one of my passions.M1: Well, I enjoy it a lot. I have traveled to India several times. I lived there, and I 've lived here, and I' ve been to Istanbul once and I enjoyed that very much.W2: I ' ve done quite a bit of traveling on holidays and stuff. I think it ' s good, good experience.W3: You get to meet different people coming from different backgrounds, and that' s really important to get an understanding.M2: It ' s always just nice to get out and experience a different culture and different lifestyle.W4: I get very excited about the thought of going to most countries, any country.W5: I love to travel to different countries.M3: Absolutely love traveling. I ' ve been traveling for about two and a half years solid now.W6: I 've been to Turkey. I've been to Egypt. I've been to Malta.M4: I work as an expedition leader and so I actually operate in different countries around the world, many places outside the United Kingdom.Part 3F: What do you like about traveling?M3: I thi nk you mature a lot whe n you travel. You, er, you lear n … oh, just completely differe ntexperiences to what you're used to at home.W6: I like the airport experience.

We love to see theater in other countries.M4: You see some, some of the most beautiful scenery around the world which you wouldn 't experience in other countries.M2: I just really like getting out there and experiencing a different culture, getting far away from,you know, what we ' re used to in Australia, and meeting new people.W4: The anticipation of being in a new place, of seeing very different things, er, of hearing adifferent language, (and) of eating different food.

But the problem is that this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice, but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It 's very possible that your grandchildren, and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city, to walk across its famous bridges, through its ancient squares. There are no cars in Venice, and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So, can it be saved?Well, they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. This is viewed as a temporary measure, although they should last 100 years, so the problem is finding a permanent solution. If you want my advice, go there while you still can, and then together we can put pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city, and we must, before it's too late.ViewingScriptsV = Voice-over; M1 = Man 1, etc.; JL = Joanna Lumley; W1 = Woman 1, etc.;EH = Eamonn Holmes; JJE = Jocelyn Jee Esien; AF = Alex Fraser;JP = John Palmer; MJ = Melanie Jones; LS = Lucy Sassoon; Vs = V oicesV: There are so many amazing places to see around the world.

Er, we are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the trip is going to take three months. We want to experience the local culture, their music, food, and way of life. So our plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions and to see what they think oftheir history. Well, um, finally, my husband and I always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I saw pictures of these amazing stone heads on the island. So for us this is the journey of our dreams.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1M: I still can ' t decide whether we should have a whole package tour or a self-drive tour.W: A whole package tour means having to spend time in the confined quarters of a coach, bus or train with people you are not familiar with, but considering our budget, perhaps we have to sacrifice comfort and privacy.Q: What does the woman say about a whole package tour?Conversation 2W: I was so shocked when I saw the tiny, dirty houses where the children grew up.M: So was I.

It ' s amazing being somewhere so far away from technology, without any electricity for miles and miles. The local people don 't even see the world outside of the jungle, never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives!M: What an entirely different lifestyle! It must be completely different there. Did you get to meet any of the villagers?W: Oh yes! Here's the story: I finished a smallblue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away. The tour guide told me to save it. Later, when we arrived at one of the villages, he introduced me to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. She looked at it like a great treasure, and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut.

新目标大学英语系列教材_视听说教程2_徐锦芬主编_课后答案Unit 1 The Future MeSelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your CommentsIf you want to work a in certain occupations, you won’t have a choice without an advanced degree. An advanced degree such as a master’s degree will be required. For example, to become a doctor, you will need an advanced degree to get licensed. Some people believe a master’s degree can help them advance in their career and make more money. Regardless of your reasons for wanting to go to graduate school, you should put a lot of thought into this decision.First, you have to decide what to study. Should you get an advanced degree in the same discipline in which yo u did your undergraduate work? Or you might consider getting your master’s degree or Ph.D. in a discipline that complements your bachelor’s degree.Once you decide what to study, you can finally choose the right graduate school. Select a reputable program by talking to people who work in the same field. Find out which programs they most respect. Also, consider the cost and location of the school, what accreditation it has, its faculty and available research and internship opportunities. Look at the entrance requirements. Do you have to take an admissions test like the GRE or GMAT? Do you need an undergraduate degree in the same major to be accepted?To begin your research about grad schools, consult print and online directories. They will provide basic information such as a description of the program, accreditation, tuition and contacts. When you have compiled a list of graduate schools that offer the type of program you want, start doing more in depth research about each one. The schools’ websites usually have a wealth of current information. Once you have narrowed down your list, you can contact the academic department directly to get answers to any questions you have.Most students go to college to get a degree and to gain the skills employers want. Getting good grades is not enough to impress most employers. Follow the strategies listed below, and you will be better prepared to promote yourself to employers.Visit your college career and placement services. Most colleges offer assistance in preparing for a job search. Take advantage of the assistance your college offers to add “real world experience” toyour resume.Assess yourself. Employers want to know why you are fit for their company. Take time to learn how your skills, values, interests, and personality influence your career choices. Use assessment tools from your college career services. What you learn about yourself will help prepare you for interviews and make resume writing easier.Explore careers related to your degree. Don’t wait until y ou are graduating to think about the workplace. Research careers related to your major. To help plan your career path, conduct several informational interviews with people in your desired career. Ask them if your degree program and extra-curricular experiences have prepared you for the requirements employers expect. Participate in career activities. Employers expect job candidates to have related skills and experience, not just good grades. To set yourself apart from other graduates, participate in internships, mentoring programs, and other work-based learning experiences. You can also participate in career-related volunteer opportunities, or part-time employment related to your chosen career. Join a career-related student group, professional associations, or other groups that can help you to build your network.No matter what type of employment or volunteer experience you do while in school, take it seriously. You will develop work habits that will benefit you after you graduate.News Reports1A 2D 3C 4B 5C 6B 7AConversation 11D 2CConversation 21C 2A 3CPassage 11A 2C 3CPassage 21B 2A 3BUnit 2 Handling Stress: Positive PsychologySelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your CommentsI am a girl student major in biology. Learning from the chart above, I can safely draw a conclusion that girls or women are reported with higher level of stress and anxiety. It seems to be true that many factors may lead to worries in my daily life.I concern the most about my school work, such as how well I did in my last exam, whether I was qualified for the grant. Other things that make me anxious are the interpersonal relationship, finance, and health conditions of my family members. I sometimes feel tense when talking in front of the class or facing an unfamiliar male student. I would feel at loss if I forget calling my parents to make sure that they are feeling well. All these things in life often drive me mad when they are flushing to me altogether.While I notice that boys in my class seem less worried since they can put all things behind after a sweating game or hanging out with their buddies. Since I am a less athletic girl, I prefer reading and listening to music when I feel stressful.News Reports1A 2C 3D 4B 5B 6C 7DConversation 11B 2A 3DConversation 21A 2CPassage 11C 2B 3DPassage 21A 2D 3DUnit 3 Enjoying SportsSelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your CommentsLiu Xiang worked hard to accomplish his goal to win his gold medal. Despite of a lot of hardships, he never quit. Day after day, he trained hard to make himself stronger. Even if he was hurt, he never gave up hope to recover. He wasn’t defeated by temporary setbacks and took great courage to go on. He won the Gold Medal in Athens Olympics in 2004. Although he didn’t go on with his glory in winning gold medal in Beijing Olympics and London Olympics, he’s the hero in my heart.Olympic athletes have a lot of spirit we can learn from. For the first thing, their persistence in striving hard to realize their goal is admirable. They usually don’t give up so easily. Second, they are passionate in what they’re doing. They can endure hardships and monotonous training year after year. Third, they are courageous in facing intense competition in pursuit of personal best. With those spirit, we can win in our life too.I do like sports. On one hand, I like watching sports. We can feel the beauty of strength, power, perseverance and teamwork while watching sports. On the other hand, I like doing sports too. Doing sports not only can build up our body but also strengthen our willpower. It makes us feel energetic and happy. By doing sports with friends, we develop connections with them.

The following are some of the ways we can use to cope with the sufferings of cultural shock.Learn as much as you can about the new location before you go. This means the good, the bad, and the simply different —from time zones, to what side of the street people drive on, to climate/temperature, to foods, political system, culture, customs and religion(s), to "Can you drink the water?" and "What type of electrical outlets do they have?", and more. If there's a language difference, try to pick up a few simple phrases, e.g., hello, thanks, etc.Be open-minded and willing to learning. Ask questions. If you are going to a place where people speak a different language, consider taking a few courses in that language.Build new friendships.Associate with positive people.Stay active, eat well, and get enough sleep.Bring a few touches of home with you, such as photos of favorite locations and family members,your favorite music, or favored knickknacks.Keep in touch with people at home by Skype, email, phone, postcards — whatever. This can give you some comfort while away, and it will help you to minimize reverse culture shock when you get back home.KeyReferenceScriptCorrection Rate: 17%News Reports1C 2D 3A 4A 5D 6A 7AConversation 11B 2AConversation 21D 2C 3DPassage 11C 2C 3BPassage 21A 2D 3AUnit 5 Love’s Magic MomentsSelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your Comments“To love is to admire with heart” probably means that the strong affection to someone stemsfrom an emotional fondness, thus is less rational; while “to admire is to love with the mind” means that the respectful preference is thoughtful, and it is undoubtedly less emotionally. The quote can be interpreted as a battle between an irrationally impulse and a reasonable decision. Or the quote can also mean that a mistake is trying to intellectually explain and scrutinize something like love that can’t be comprehended with any sense or knowledge since love isn’t meant to be admired or understood, and it’s just a feeling that is inexplicable and mysterious.News Reports1D 2B 3D 4A 5B 6C 7DConversation 11B 2B 3AConversation 21A 2CPassage 11C 2D 3APassage 21C 2B 3DUnit 6 A Charitable HeartSelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your CommentsNo. It is their money.

It did not take long for businesses to figure out that the opportunities for growth and expansion into global markets could quickly become a managerial and political nightmare across cultural and national lines. But importantly, the answer(s) was not a marketing strategy that relied upon the standardization of products, pricing, and promotion, but rather, one that promoted and embraced ethnic and cultural diversity within a larger corporate strategy and perspective. So the McDonald’s Corporation, for example, with worldwide local presence chooses to adjust their menus in an attempt to appeal to local palates.Conventional wisdom on this topic, by and large, reinforces the relevance of cultural relativity when making decisions for the global marketplace. The globalization of a business marketplace is achieved with greater ease and success when local business activities present a familiar face.Globalization has had an unexpected impact on local space. As globalization orients all of us more and more toward a global community and economy, in our daily lives, we seem to turn more willingly to the security and certainty of the local, giving ri se to the oppositional politics of “local first”.This means advocating for the consumption of locally produced food to support local farmers over crops shipped halfway around the world. It means looking at the local content of production in the goods we purchase, especially those that have a small ecological footprint and promote sustainability. It means drinking coffee at locally owned and operated coffee houses and passing on the many outlets of corporate coffee sellers and so on. So, as the processes of globalization deepen, the need for more direct and tangible involvement in the shaping of our communities also intensifies.But is this necessarily a conflict of realities? Does this mean that local and global orientations cannot (and do not) coexist? And thrive? Are they not, after all, the two faces of glocalism – both products of globalization? But what is certain, perhaps, is that the presence of ever faster and ever denser streams of people, images, consumer goods, money markets, and communication networks around the world (Schaebler, 2002) will continue to impact, influence and shape our very notion of local.News Reports1D 2C 3C 4D 5C 6B 7AConversation 11A 2B 3DConversation 21A 2CPassage 11C 2D 3BPassage 21A 2C 3DUnit 8 Copyright, CopyleftSelf-test on This UnitPart II Speaking ActivitiesGiving Your CommentsThere are many different ways that people pirate movies. One classic way is to “leak” them, which involves a person going into a movie theater with a camera or a phone and recording the movie as it plays. It is usually of poor quality, but many people still download these recordings instead of going to see it in a theater.Another way for a movie to be pirated is for it to be digitally hacked. A hacking involves someone digitally cracking into a studio or company’s computer system and taking the movie from their files. This would actually decrease a movie’s Box Office revenue even more because of the better quality.There are more ways to watch a pirated movie other than just downloading it online. In fact, some people tend to purchase pirated DVDs.Most people would just say that pirating has a small effect on the movie industry and that the studios already have enough money. They believe watching a movie online isn’t going to hurt anyone. However, the studios are making much smaller amounts of money than they should be making from their films due to piracy. The decrease in money from studios will result in thedecrease of the quality of other movies, but more often it will decrease the quantity.The loss of money affects more than just the filmmakers and studios, however. It helps the entire economy grow due to tax and job increase. Pirating less films means the studios will get more money, which leads to more movies and create more jobs for people like hairdressers, electricians, actors, costume designers and so on. It will also add more tax money to help the country.Many people argue that piracy is not illegal because they are not technically stealing anything. Though they are not physically taking away anything from anyone, they are stealing intellectual property. That we can’t hold a movie file in our hands does not mean that it is not someone’s property. Downloading a film online is the equivalent of stealing a movie from a movie store. By pirating a film, we are stealing the money that should have been paid if we watch the movie legally. We do not have a right to watch whatever movies without paying for them just as we do not have a right to walk into a shop and take anything away without paying first, so film piracy is stealing.News Reports1D 2B 3B 4C 5C 6B 7CConversation 11D 2BConversation 21A 2D 3CPassage 11B 2A 3BPassage 21D 2A 3D。

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. Mygrandparents 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 want 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 ent ries. 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 student 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.

Optional Listening 3Know before you go!In Bangladesh people greet their friends by shaking hands softly and then putting their hands over their heart. People in Bangladesh don’t use many gestures. Waving at people and winking are very rude. Don’t touc h 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 lov e 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. It usually means that the person is happy. or that the person thinks something is funny. But it also mean that the person is embarrassed.Keys:OL1: A. 1. waving to; 2. shaking hands; 3. crossing his fingers; 4. shruggingB. 1. wallet; 2. nervous; 3. studying for a test; 4.the theater.OL 2: B. 1.

For some people, this is a problem. They think we should slow down and enjoy life. The Slow Food movement was started to celebrate and support the local food tra ditions 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!Minh: I’m training for a swimming competition. I have to eat healthy foods all the time. At first I didn’t like it, but now I do. I actually prefer healthy foods to sweet or buttery foods. And I feel better, too!Optional Listening 3Hot, hotter, hottest! Surprising facts about chile peppers.1. Chile peppers are one of the oldest food crops in the world. Farmers grew the first chile peppers more than 9,000 years ago.2. The first chile peppers probably grew in Bolivia. From there, the plant spread through South America and the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus brought the first chile peppers to Europe.3. The heat in the chile comes from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin has no smell or flavor, but it mikes your mouth fee “hot.”4. Scientists believe that chile peppers are a very healthy food because they are rich in vitamins. Research shows that chiles do not damage the stomach, and Indian scientists discovered that eating chiles can help people lose weight.5. Indian food is well-known for using lots of chile peppers, but Thai food spicier. The average person in Thailand eats five grams of chile pepper everyday---the most in the world.6. The Aztec Indians of Mexico loved chile peppers so much that they gave them to their king as a gift.7. The hottest chile pepper in the world is the habanero. It is bright orange and grows in the Caribbean.8. There are chile sauce factories on every continent except Antarctica. Optional Listening 4In many countries of the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better, too.Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, theOkinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world.Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and town birth records from 1879. They didn’t expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy people living in Okinawa. The United States, for example, has 10 centenarians per 100,1000 people. In Okinawa there are 34 centenarians per 100,100 people!What is the Okinawans’ secret? First, they eat a healthy diet. They eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. They also eat fish often and drink a lot of water and green tea. But researchers think that the Okinawans have other healthy habits as well. They don’t do hard exercise such as weightlifting orjogging--- instead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking.Researchers say that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging.They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercised. They also enjoy massage.Keys:OL1: A. We should support and celebrate local food tradition; B. 1. fast;2.life;3. farmers;4. Europe;5. members.OL2: A.

I’m a salesclerk in a woman’s clothing store. My boss is great, but she has a very strict dress code. We have to wear long skirts, black shoes, no jewelry, and on and on. It’s really boring, so I’m planning to dye my hair red. What do you think?2. I love my girlfriend, but she complains a lot about my clothes. She doesn’t want to go anywhere with me because I always wear old jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t care about looking like a fashion magazine. I just want to be comfortable! What’s your advice?B1.

It’s really boring, so I’m planning to dye my hair red. What do you think?Expert’s opinion: Sorry, but I have to side with your employer. A business wants to have a particular look, so they tell you what to wear. If you want to show off your individual style, you had better do it in your free time.2. I love my girlfriend, but she complains a lot about my clothes. She doesn’t want to go anywhere with me because I always wear old jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t care about looking like a fashion magazine. I just want to be comfortable! What’s your advice?Expert’s opinion: I think you ought to have a serious talk with your girlfriend and explain how you feel. We all have our own style and taste. In my opinion, she thinks too much about appearances.Optional Listening 4Today I started my new part-time job as a trendspotter. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Well, guess what? It was a lot of fun! I’m telling all my friends, “You should think about becoming a trendspotter, too”On Saturday morning, we had to report to a recording studio by 10 a.m. The “Trends Coordinator,” Mandy, explained the schedule. Then sh e gave us a tour. That was really cool!Next we sat around a big table in a room. They gave each person three cards. One card said “Yes—All the way!” Another said, “It’s OK.” The third one said, “No way!” We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song we had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop, rock, heavy metal; and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me.Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? They’re really popular right now. Well, they have a new CD coming out. We saw six different CD covers. (I guess they are trying to choose one.) This time, we didn’t have cards. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions, “Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?”We finished at 12:30. We will meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh yes, we also received a free CD for our tour. This “job” doesn’t pay, but we get a free stuff!Th at’s all for now!KeysOL1:A Elena: New York Vicki: Hong KongB.

The police officer had seen the lights, too.M: Hmmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by that time, the lights were gone.M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about mysteriousligh ts … a lot of local people have seen the lights. It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist.. What do you think, Alexa?A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax!Optional Listening 2It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK?” I asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in.I told the clerk about the little girl. “Do you know her?” I asked. “Ohyes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five yea rs ago on that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”Optional Listening 3A. The Tunguska mysteryIt was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia. Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska. People fell to the ground, and all the trees for 2000 square kilometers were down. People heard the explosion 800 kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later, scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some possible explanations.1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that goes around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,00 tons. If an asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice., and rock with long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke’s Comet was near Earth in1908, and it’s possible that a part of it broke off and hit the earth.3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth, so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the forest.5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.Optional Listening 4Q. Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A. Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the United States. It’s famous for the “Marfa mystery lights”Q. What are the mystery lights exactly?A. No one knows for sure. There are many different ideas about that. Q. Can you describe them?A. That’s a difficult question. Different people see different lights. They are not always the same. I can say that they appear after sunset in the sky. They dance mysteriously in air and vanish. Then they suddenly reappear. Q. Some people say they are car headlights. Do you think so?A. No. I don’t. A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883. Of course we didn’t have cars in 1883.Q. What do you think causes the lights?A. There are many theories. The Native Americans thought the lights were stars falling to Earth. Some people think uranium gas causes the lights. Other people suggest that ball lightning does it. Ball lightning is lightning in the shape of circle. It often appears just after a rainstorm.Q What are some of the weirdest ideas about the lights?A. Well, some people call them “ghost lights”. They think ghosts do it. That’s the strangest idea. Some say they are UFOs. I don’t think so.Q. What do the experts say?A. They can’t figure it out. Some engineers even came from Japan one time. They studied the lights, but couldn’t solve the mystery.Q. Are the local people scared?A. No, actually, they aren’t. They like the lights. And every year in early September there is a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights. KeysOL1: A. 从左至右：4-5-1-2-3 B. Nick Brown, police officer, local peopleOL 2:A. 1.

The house was painted pink, a very rare color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, either round or rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I was thinking there must be a big living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house. I was wondering whose house this was when I suddenly heard a voice from somewhere: “My lord, welcome home.” Wow, this was my dream house.。
