Unit 4 CreativityPart I Listening 1In China, education is considered a race. Students have to begin as early as possible and have to proceed as quickly as possible around the track. Success is measured by how many students cross the finish line in the short time .In America, we recognize the race too, but we feel that the students have a chance to explore things for themselves, even if not all of them reach the finish line. As a result of their exploring, some of the participants may have more to offer by the end of the race.The advantage of the Chinese way is that more students become proficient and reach the finish line. The disadvantage is that they may have less to say or to show once they get there. The disadvantage of the American way is that some students never finish the race. The advantage, however, is that some who do go "all the way" have very interesting and original things to say when they get there.1. F T T T F F2.1) race 2) race 3 ) proceed 4) explore things for themselves 5)proficient 6)interesting 7) original 8) less 9) finish the race Listening IIOnce Wealth and Poverty approached a merchant and introduced themselves as Goddesses. The merchant greeted both of them and said, "May I ask why you have come to my humble home?" The Goddess of Wealth said, "We want you to judge between us who is the most beautiful."The merchant did not know what to say. He knew he was between the devil and the deep blue sea. If he said that Wealth was more beautiful than Poverty, Poverty would curse him. If he said that Poverty was more beautiful than Wealth, Wealth would abandon him. However, he became calm and said, "I have great respect for you both. Would you please do what I ask of you? It is the only way I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said, "Mother Wealth, would you please walk towards my house? Mother Poverty, Would you please walk away from my house? This way I can see you both better, from near and far." The two Goddesses did what the merchant had asked them to do. Then the merchant confidently declared, "Mother Wealth! You appear most beautiful when you are nearest my house. Mother Poverty! You look most beautiful when you are farthest from my house." The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of Wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of Poverty cheerfully departed.Whenever we have a serious problem, if we look within and think calmly, a solution will come in answer to the problem.1. F T F F F2. 1. Why did the two Goddesses go to the merchant’s place? C2. What would happen if the merchant declared the Goddess of Wealth to be morebeautiful than the Goddess of the Poverty? B3. What did the merchant ask the Goddesses to do? D4. What was the reaction of the Goddesses? A5. What does the story tell us? CListening IIIThere is an old and common saying in the United States that "There is nothing new under the sun." I thought of that today when I read an article in a magazine. The article tells about the growing number of people who are building earth-sheltered houses, which are partly underground. I had known about modern earth-sheltered houses, but I had never thought about their roofs before. Instead of having metal or tiles on the roofs, many of these houses now have living roofs. The wooden top of the house is covered with a special waterproof plastic material. On top of this there is soil, in which grass and flowers are planted. Such a roof can be very beautiful. But this really is not a new idea. When the early settlers came to the United States, they often made their houses by digging into the ground. Their roofs were made of wood, and covered by large areas of soil with grass or turf. They were warm, though not always waterproof. People replaced these houses and roofs as soon as they could live in regular wooden homes with wooden or metal roofs. Now, 200 years later, some people think of this as a new idea. But I think, "There is nothing new under the sun."1. 1) partly underground 2) living 3 ) digging into the ground 4) grass waterproofQuestions:1. What does the speaker mean by saying "There is nothing new under the sun"?2. What makes the speaker think of "earth-sheltered houses"?3. What is a living roof?4. How many years ago did the early settlers first build earth-sheltered homes?5. Why did People replace these earth-sheltered houses with regular wooden ones? 2.

He didn't want to take time away from his card games to eat, sohe ordered his butler to make sandwiches instead.Woman: Is that so? Hey, look at this. The first beauty contest was held in Belgium in 1888. Why in Belgium of all places?Man: Why not? Oh, here's one I bet you're proud of. The electric chair was used for the first time in 1890 in the United States. Yes, you're first to diagnoseAIDS, too. The first recorded case was in New York.Woman: Plus and minus signs were used in 1514 in Holland. Yeah, there was no way we could have guessed that one. And the equals sign, you'll bepleased to hear, was first used in Oxford , in 1557. You'd have thoughtthey'd all have been invented at the same time.Man: Well, we both got these right .coffee was in Arabia around 1,000 AD, and just before that, playing cards were invented in China.Woman: Well, I got this one right. First diagram of a flying machine, was drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, as I said, in 1492.Man: Yeah, but the first air flight wasn't made until 1903, and it was in the United States.Woman: But that wasn't the question, was it? Also, England was also the first to transmit television.Man: Garbage! It was the Italians.Woman: No, it says here, the first TV transmission was in London, 1925. And here we are again, the first traffic lights were in London, in 1868.Man: But they didn't even have cars then, so why would they have needed traffic lights?1．D A A F C E A B B2．1)1762 2)1888/Belgium 3)1890/the United States 4)New York5)1514/Holland 1557 6) 1903 7) 1868Part 4 Listening 1Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He's got two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?""Sand," answered Juan.The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard takes the two bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags.The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders and lets him cross the border.A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got?" "Sand," says Juan.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years. Finally, Juandoesn't show up one day and the guard meets him in a bar in Mexico."Hey, buddy," says the guard. "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"Juan sips his beer and says, "Bicycles."1) border 2) rips 3) overnight 4) analyzed 5) release 6) cross 7) weekly 8 ) thorough 9) show up 10) bicyclesListening IIPottery has been found in the remains of every ancient civilization. The oldest known piece of pottery was found in China and dates back to 7,900 BC. That's almost 10,000 years ago!The first pots were large bowls, formed by taking a lump of clay and making a bowl shape. Pottery doesn't just include pots, but anything made from clay that can hold things, such as jugs, vases and cups. Pottery was used to hold water, milk, seeds and grains.Later, people learned to mix different clays together to make stronger pottery and to put the pottery in a fire oven so that the clay would harden faster. The potter's wheel was invented in China around 3,100 BC. The wheel spins clay like a top. It allows people to make pottery much more quickly and make shapes that were perfectly symmetrical—bowls that were really round, rather than lumpy or uneven. Pottery is not only considered one of the first inventions but also one of the first art forms. Most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; some even tell a story!1.

Cathy: I've enjoyed talking about creativity in our English class. I wish I had been encouraged more when I was in elementary school.Michael: I know what you mean.

My father said Ishould work on mathematics.Cathy: Maybe you still will still use your artistic talent some day.Michael: Oh, I don't know. After all, I'm in university now.

She displayed her candy art in the candy shop and customers would come in just to look at the art.Michael: What did her family think then?Cathy: They didn't take her seriously until the Toledo Museum of Art heard about her works and paid her to paint 77 reproductions of works intheir collection.

AListening IVFor over 30 years, "Sesame Street" has been the most popular TV program for young children in the United States. The characters on this show are mainly puppets, and probably the most loved of the puppets is a gigantic yellow bird called "Big Bird".Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird all the years of Big Bird's existence on American television. Spinney's love of puppets and his own creativity led him to this career. When he was five years old, he saw his first puppet show. He loved the show and never forgot it. When he was seven he bought a used monkey puppet for five cents. His mother had made him a stuffed snake from green material, so he got the idea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage from wooden orange boxes and his mother's old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance.Spinney's family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more . For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eight colorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, "The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped at the end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform? I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment."Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life's work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on "Sesame Street", he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.T T T F F T T T F F。

Script George Adams, a market researcher at a Midwestern firm, finally printed his marketing report. After months of research, hundreds of surveys, andseveral boring drafts, his report was complete, and just in time. He was going away for the weekend, and he wanted to relax knowing his report was a success. He carefully proofread his document and then delivered copies to all the executives on his distribution list.When he returned to his desk, he discovered his boss, the department manager, was livid. At first he did not realize he had accidentally gone over his head. Anyway, she had given him the contribution list in the first place. So he thought he was just following orders. But the boss was furious that she hadn’t seen the final document.The boss asked Adams to get back the copies, but it was too late. When Adams got to the CEO’s office, he was already reading the report. Adams had felt friction with his boss before. She was overbearing and tended to find fault with his work after he’d broken his back to meet deadlines. In this instance, however, he realized he had made a serious error. His boss was extremely upset, for his mistake made her look as though shewasn’t in control of her department.From the boss’s point of view, Adams was usurping her authority. The result was simple and natural: Adams left his job soon afterward. Adams’s story illustrates a fundamental truth about the workplace: small, seemingly innocent missteps can sometimes become a big career trap.13. To whom did Adams deliver copies of the report?14. What did Adams discover after he delivered the copies?15. What happened when the boss asked Adams to get back the copies ofthe report?16. According to the passage, why was his boss extremely upset?5. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?Keys: 1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.CTask 2: The boss is angry!ScriptSam: Tell me: Does this place look like a nursing home?Sally: No. Why?Sam: Do I look like a male nurse?Sally: Not at all.Sam: Then why do my employees act as though this were a nursing home instead of a work place?Sally: You’re obviously upset. What’s wrong? Tell me.Sam: You’re right. I’m upset about a lot of things.Sally: Can you tell me what the problems are?Sam: First of all I’m upset because so many of the staff have been showing up late for work.Sally: It’s true. A lot of people have been coming in late. They probably think you don’t mind. You know there’s a prettyrelaxed atmosphere here.Sam: Maybe it’s because I hang out with a lot of them outside the office. Sally: They must see you more as a buddy than a boss. It’s because you’re so friendly.Sam: You’re right. They don’t view me as an authority figure anymore. I’m afraid they don’t respect me as a boss Sally: So what are you going to do about it?Sam: I’m going to change. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I’m going to start cracking the whip.Sally: When do you want this change to take place?Sam: Starting today, I’m going to lay down the law. From now on, everyone in the company must follow regulations to the latter.Sally: I’ll post a notice as soon as possible. What should it say?Sam: No more punching in late. No more clocking out early. No more calling in sick without a goof reason or without a doctor’s note. Sally: Anything else?Sam: No more personal phone calls or e-mails on company time!Sally: All right, I’ll get right on it!Keys: FTFTFTask3: Three EnvelopesScriptAfter a high –level firing at Supertech, the top executives gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer, Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.Lunch was pretty well over when Jackson took his replacement aside and said: “Carl, it’s a jungle out there in thebusiness world. If we graduate of Harvard Business School don’t stick up for one anther, who will? Nobody, that’s who.”Jackson explained that a tradition the company’s CEOs had. The departing CEO left three numbered envelopes for the new CEO. He handed Martin three envelopes. “Open one if there’s a problem you can’t solve.”Things went smoothly for Martin at first, but six months later sales took a downturn, and he was catching a lot of heat. At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He took from his desk the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.”Martin held a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. The press—and Wall Street—reacted positively, sales picked up, and the problem was soon behind him.A year later, the company was again experiencing a dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. The CEO opened the second envelope. The message read, “Recognize.”This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The meager read, “Prepare three envelopes.”For Reference1. They gathered for lunch to welcome the new Chief Executive Officer,Carl Martin, and say good-bye to the departing CEO, Dick Jackson.2.

Unit 4 Outside View Activity 1Activity 3Listening inNews ReportActivity 1ScriptMany universities in the US are offering an Adopt-a-Grandparent programme. Through this programme, student volunteers are given the opportunity to adopt a senior adult living in a local nursing home as a “grandparent”. Each week students have the chance to spend time with their adopted grandparents talking, sharing stories and participating in a planned activity. In addition to regular visits, students are encouraged to write letters and send presents to their adopted grandparents. The elderly are also encouraged to do the same.This programme provides senior adults with a sense of purpose and belonging. Not everyone who lives in a nursing home gets visitors or enough visitors, or has grandchildren of their own. Students commit to spending one hour a week with their adopted grandparents, but some end up visiting for three or four hours a week. They do it because they like spending time with the elderly. There is no credit offered. The programme helps students develop a sense of social responsibility and community awareness. Moreimportantly, both students and the elderly learn from each other and form a family bond.1. What do we learn about the Adopt-a-Grandparent programme from the news report?2. How does the programme benefit the elderly?Activity 2ScriptA growing number of South Korean fathers are choosing to take a break from their careers to help bring up their children. Until recently, this is still regarded unthinkable as childcare has always been considered women’s responsibility in the male-dominated society of South Korea.South Korean women have long believed that employers give them a lower salary and don’t give them promotion because they’re likely to take time off to have children. They are also reluctant to be stay-at-home moms, having sole responsibility for all household duties. These concerns among women have contributed to a record low birth rate.President Park Geun-hye has announced a multi-billion plan to help couples to have larger families. Fathers who take paternity leave will receive a government aid equivalent to 40 per cent of their monthly income, capped at 1.0 million won. According to the plan, men and women are entitled to up to one year’s —paternity or maternity leave.1. What is considered unthinkable in South Korea?2. Why is there a low birth rate in South Korea?Passage 1Activity 1ScriptHost: There’s a question that’s been argued about for a long time. Which is more important, your family environment or your genes? Well, a story has come up in the news about identical twins, separated at birth. They’ve just been reunited. And guess what? There are some amazing coincidences in their life stories.Here’s the story –two American girls called Tamara and Adriana were separated at birth and adopted by two different sets of parents. And this is where the coincidences begin. Both families ended up living 25 miles apart. Both girls decided to study psychology at universities that are only a mile apart from each other. Isn’t that strange?And this girl, who’s a friend of both of them, insists they meet. Just before they meet, Adriana’s mother tells her that she has a twin sister. Can you imagine how that must feel when you’re 20 years old to learn you have a twin? And when the girls meet, it’s like looking in a mirror –they’re identical!Now get this! Both Tamara and Adriana’s adoptive fathers died when the girls were children. Both girls fell through glass doors at the age of five –that’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Their boyfriends look alike and have similarnames –Alex and Adam. And this is the best part –both of them have the same recurring dream. Isn’t that incredible –they have the same dream! I think it’s an amazing story. So, for all those of you out there who have comments, and I’m sure you do, the lines are open. OK, we’ve got Josh on the line. Hi Josh!Josh: Hi.Host: So, what do you make of this story?Josh: It’s a great story but it doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m an identical twin. Host: You are?Josh: Yeah, my brother’s called Toby, and we’re 22, and we’re going out with two sisters ... and we’re having a double wedding next June.Host: Congratulations! So, what do you think? Is it our genes that decide who we are? These kind of stories seem to suggest it.Josh: Well, I’m not a scientist, but I think so.Host: Research tells us that it’s about fifty-fifty.Josh: I, I disagree.Host: Thanks Josh. OK, our next caller is ...Activity 2Answer CDBCADCDPassage 2Activity 1ScriptVoice-over:Kidney transplants are of two kinds –transplants from dead people and living transplants, transplants from people who are alive. Mostly the donor, the person who gives the kidney, is a relative –a parent, brother or sister. We all recognize that it’s one of the most selfless things a person can do, to give a kidney to someone, but as the operation becomes safer and safer, more and more people are doing it. We talked to two sisters who have had the experience –Henrietta Longmore, a journalist aged 40, married with one son, and her sister, Teresa Parker, aged 38, married with two children. They come from a family with four children. Here’s their story.Teresa: Henrietta and I were close as children. She was the big sister and she was –just like a mother to us younger kids. Our parents were both doctors and our mum was very busy. We were close right through our teenage years. Then we shared a flat and had a lot of the same friends. It was great. Henrietta: Yes, we’ve always been close. I felt very protective of my brother and sisters because, like Teresa says, our parents were always so busy. But I also felt a bit jealous of Teresa –she was my dad’s favourite –but it didn’t affect our relationship.Teresa: Henrietta got kidney failure five years ago, but for several years she was fine and seemed quite healthy.Henrietta: Yes, I never thought of asking my family for a kidney. The hospital was brilliant and I really did feel fine, most of the time.Activity 2ScriptTeresa:But then a year ago she became very ill and almost died. I was terrified. I knew if she died, I’d blame myself. You know, why I hadn’t done more to help her. So I decided to find out more about giving her a kidney. Henrietta:Yes, I did almost die. It was awful. I, I was never going to ask Teresa for a kidney but I kind of knew that she would offer. To be honest, I felt I would have done the same.Teresa: Yes. At first I was a bit scared. But we went for a three-hour talk at the hospital and it was very reassuring. My whole family came. And they felt OK about it too, which was very important.Henrietta: People don’t know that you only need ten per cent of one kidney to be completely healthy, and kidney donors often live longer than other people.Teresa: Yes, you have to be very healthy to give a kidney. The hospital makes sure of that. Anyway, after the operation I got better very fast –probably because you know you’ve done something worthwhile and it does make you feel very good.Henrietta: I can’t describe how grateful I feel to Teresa. It’s such an amazing thing to do. What can I say? Her courage was, was extraordinary. She just didn’t seem afraid at all.Teresa: You do get a lot of praise for doing something like this. I’d like to do something that no one knows about.Answer CBACDABUnit TestSection AScript1.M: Something’s been bothering me lately. Do you mind if I get it off my chest?W: Not at all. What’s wrong?Q: What does the man mean when he says he wants to get something off his chest?2.W: How many siblings do you have?M: Five. There are six of us in all.W: Wow! That’s a lot.

Is the baby keeping you up at night?M: She sleeps fine for a few hours, then suddenly wakes up and starts to scream her head off.Q: What does the man say his baby does at night?5.M: I can’t believe it. My dad just spent an hour giving me a lecture on good manners.W: Really? What did you do to prompt that?Q: How does the boy’s father feel about his son’s behavior?Answer ADABASection BScriptM: Hi, Dee! How was your weekend?W: Oh, it was fantastic. I was at the beach.M: You were? Were you just there for a holiday?W: We had our annual family reunion at the beach this year.M: What a good idea! I guess you had a good time.W: Absolutely.

I was a very curious little boy, but I didn’t much care for school work. I was always looking for a distraction. My parents’books serve this purpose nicely. I certainly wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth and we often couldn’t afford to take vacations during the summer. Instead, my vacations were in my imagination with friends like Alice in Wonderland and Dorothy in the Land of Oz. Those books not only helped me travel to fantastic places but they also helped my young mind run a gamut of emotions as I journeyed with the characters. My parents often encouraged me to take a chance on a new book or author and I was rarely disappointed. To the contrary, I was usually left in total amazement. My parents’encouragement to read when I was a child developed into my significant love of reading today.Thanks mom and dad!Q9: Which of the following will be the best title for this passage?Q10: How did the speaker feel about his school work?Q11: With whom does the speaker claim that he liked to travel together? Answer BADSection DScriptThe Chinese government plans to end its one-child-per-family policy and instead let families have two children. The plan was announced Thursday after high-level political meetings in Beijing. The official Xinhua news agency says the country's top legislature must approve the proposal before it becomes law.The Chinese government has given a number of reasons for the change in policy. The statement said the change is meant to balance population development. It also said the move attempts to stop a declining birth rate and strengthen the country's work force. China, the world's most populous country, launched the one-child policy in 1980. But the government permitted only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some rural families were given approval to have two children.In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children. Families could have two if one parent was an only child. At the end of 2014, China had a population of 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them were employed. But that job market population is expected to drop by 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births will ease the labor shortage, starting in 20 years.Q12: What does this news report mainly talk about?Q13: When will the universal two-child policy be enacted?Q14: When will the labor shortage emerge?Answer ACD。

《商务英语视听说》第4册 Unit 4 Finance and Banking
(3) According to Mr. Gekko, what destroys the company?
Listening Scripts
Gordon Gekko: Well, I appreciate the opportunity you are giving me, Mr. Cromwell, as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not here to indulge in fantasy, but in political and economic reality. America…America has become a second-rate power. Its trade deficit and its fiscal deficit are at nightmare proportions. In the days of the free market, when our country was a top industrial power… There was accountability to the stockholder. The Carnegies, the Mellons, the men that built this great empire, made sure of it…because it was their money at stake. Today, management has no stake in the company! Altogether, these men sitting up here own less than 3% of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his $1,000,000 salary? Not in Teldar stock. He owns less than 1%. You own the company. That’s right, you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these bureaucrats…with their steak lunches, their fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes. Mr. Cromwell: This is an outrage! You’re out of line, Gekko!
