But a 2004 telephone survey of more than 2,500 American adults found that 6 percent of women and about 5.5 percent of men are compulsive shoppers; that's more than 1 in 20 adults.The sexes do not shop at the same aisles though. Experts say that women are more likely to binge buy things like clothes or gilts for other people, while men tend to buy expensiveelectronics. This survey is the first to find sucha high number of compulsive shoppers in thegeneral population.Study authors hope that this finding canconvince doctors of how many people are hurtby the disorder, so they can make finding acure a priority.I'm Bill Blakemore in New York.P16Tree-lighting CeremonyLast-minute rehearsals, and the finaltouches are taking place before tonight’stree-lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Centre .This year , the Norway spruce soars nearly9 storeys and it is centrepiece of RockefellerCenter during the holidays .Hours before the televised tree-lightingceremony begins , people from all around thecountry are starting to carve out a viewing spot .“It’s a bit early , but I think it’s worth it.”“With what her friends told her from work ,come early so we can get a good spot , so…”“It’s great , it couldn’t be any better .”Debbie Moore travelled all the way fromDallas to see the tree light up in person.“It’s been…one of my wife’s longtimedreams to come and see this , so we finallymade it happen.

White other studentsmight be reading books, Empire students willread on their laptops. Jeremy Gypton, a historyteacher at Empire High School in Vail, Arizona.Mr. Gypton, tell us about the assignment thatyou've already given, that might otherwise haveinvolved a textbook, but i n this case involves acomputer.Mr. Gypton: Well, with the, with history I try touse as many primary source documents aspossible. I actually just recently had mystudents, studying...my American Historystudents, studying the French-Indian War and itsimpact. And that sort of document is just notavailable in a traditional textbook, 1 wouldhave to say, "Go online or go to a library andfind a copy", whereas with the laptops and withthe resources they're using, they haveimmediate access to it.Reporter:What's the point here? Is it to get Ioprimary sources or is it to use a medium thatyoungsters today are more familiar with? Howdo you, how do you describe what you aredoing'?Mr. Gypton: When it comes to our, I guess, ourreasoning, these are the students who've grownup with the computer, with the Internet, er, as,as kind of organic to their environment. It's notan add-on, like it, like it was to me. And this isnormal for them. And so, limiting them, by likesort of a traditional, maybe thousand pagetextbook is, from their perspective, I think alittle bit abnormal, because they are used tobeing able to reach out, and view one topic from20 different angles, as opposed to just the oneangle that a textbook would present.Reporter: Jeremy Gypton, thank you very muchfor talking with you.Mr. Gipson: Thanks so much for your time.P51Beijing Opera is largely seen as a dying artin China. Louisa Lira wants to introduce us toan unlikely new champion for Chinese opera.He's a British man who has devoted more thana decade to bringing Chinese opera to newaudiences.Ghaffar: And I saw a Beijing Opera in Londonin 1993. And that just shocked me. It reallymoved me.Louisa:Ghaffar Pourazar is British, born toIranian Azeri parents. At the age of 32, he gaveup his life as a computer animator andenrolled in a Beijing Opera school, drawn bythe difficulty of mastering this art form.Ghaffar: And there is no other culture whichhas put that much discipline into training theperfect performer. That is what the BeijingOpera is about, the perfect performer.Louisa: On stage, the actors not only act, theysing and dance at the same time as performingheart-stopping feats of acrobatics and swordfighting. Once the show begins, it's clear thatPourazar has taken a Chinese classic and madeit his own. The cast is partly non-Chinese. Andthere's a lot of explanation in English. Thestory is the much-loved legend of the MonkeyKing, a mischievous monkey ham from a stone,who learns supernatural skills and uses themto challenge the emperor of heaven. Pourazar isthe multilingual monkey.Ghaffar: It's within the rules of the art form thatyou perform for that audience. What I havedone is, by taking it to London, to change thespoken parts into English. And that's, that'swithin the rules of the opera.(Singing)Louisa:That even means adding a bit ofcomedy rap opera to the mix.Louisa: And this hybrid bilingual opera winsgood reviews from both Western and Chineseaudience members.A Man:And that's really Chinese stuff,expressing the more acceptable way. So it'llbe more popular.Louisa: But the popularity of Beijing Operais fading fast, with young Chinese audiencesturning to karaoke, DVDs and the Internet.Much to Pourazar's sorrow.P67 speechThank you very, very much.Well, I just have to start with a challenge tothe President: Sir, I have seen your train go by,and I think I can beat it.I'll even give you a head start.And over the last few years we have heard alot about something called "family values". Andlike many of you, I have struggled to figure outwhat that means. And since my accident, I'vefound a definition that seems to make sense. Ithink it means that we’re all family. And that weall have value.Now, if that's true, if America really is a family, then we have to recognize that many members of our family are hurting. And just to take one aspect of it, one in five of us has some kind of disability. You may have an aunt with Parkinson's disease, a neighbor with a spinal cord injury, or a brother with AIDS, and if we're really committed to this idea of family, we've got to do something about it.Now first of all, our nation cannot tolerate discrimination of any kind. And that's why the Americans with Disabilities Act is so important It must be honored everywhere. It is a Civil Rights Law that is tearing down barriers, both in architecture and in attitude.Its purpose—its purpose is to give the disabled access not only to buildings but to every opportunity in society.Now, I strongly believe our nation must give its full support to the caregivers who are helping people with disabilities live independent lives. P82Damage from acid rain is widespread not just in eastern North America, but throughout Europe, Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. Is the rain that's falling on your umbrella acidic? A listener's question on today's "Earth and Sky". JB: This is "Earth and Sky". with a question from Sandra Renee of Olive Hill, Kentucky. She asks, "How do you know when it rains that it's not acid rain, and what exactly acid rain'?" DB: Sandra, you need a pH meter to reliably measure the acidity of rain or snow. But in certain parts of the US--especially in the Northeast--you can probably assume that most rain will be at least somewhat acidic. Westerly winds move pollutants eastward, so the eastern US gets more acid rain.JB: Acid rain happens when airborne acids fall down to earth in rain. Electrical utility plants that bum fossil fuels emit chemicals into the atmosphere that react with water and other chemicals in the air to form sulfuric acid, nitric acid--the "acid" in acid rain You don't have to live next door to a power plant to get showered by acid rain. These acid pollutants reach high into the atmosphere and can travel with wind currents for hundreds of kilometers.DB: The acids in acid rain are corrosive chemicals that leach nutrients from the soil slow the growth of trees, poison lakes and combine with other chemicals to form urban smog. The simplest way to curtail acid rain is to use less energy from fossil fuels.JB: Special thanks today to the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, a private foundation dedicated to advancing research and education in the chemical sciences. We're Block Byrd for "Earth and Sky".翻译第一单元11、Not all the neighborhoods are empty, nor is every workplace a friendly playground. Most of us have had mixed experiences in these environments. Yet as one woman told me recently, she knows more about the people she passes on the way to her desk than on her way around the block. Our new sense of community hasn’t just moved from house to office building. The labels that we wear connect us with members from distant companies, cities, and states. We assume that we have something “incommon” with other teachers, nurses, cityplanners.不是所有的住宅区都是空的，也不是所有的工作单位都是友好的。

However,what we get from school is just a small part of what we cation includes both formal learning at school and informal learning in society.So education is much broader than schooling.Education can take place anywhere,whether in the street or at a party.Likewise, educators can be anyone,ranging from an elderly woman in the neighbourhood to a young reporter on TV.The general patterns of teaching at school always remain relatively the same. Students arrive at school at the set time and take the assigned courses.The learning materials and the tests used at school are limited.We know what we can get from school education,but we can never give a full picture of what we can expect from education.F or instance,while travelling if you have a chat with a local shopkeeper, you may discover more about local culture.Education starts from the moment a person is born.It lasts for a life time and becomes part of his/her life.Key(F)1.We get most of our education at school.(T)cation can occur in a local shop when travelling.(T)3.Students at school usually use similar textbooks.(F)4.Only at school can you get new information and skills.(T)cation is always with us throughout our whole lives.Look at the diagram made by Daisy Kabagarama about the components of culture in her book,Breaking the Ice.Listen to the speaker's descriptions.Write down the key words in the blanks.The first letter of each word is already given.Components of Culture The term culture has been defined in many ways.Howard defines it as the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize their behaviour and thoughts.I define culture as the way of life of a group of people.In that way,culture is in essence the moulder of human behaviour of a certain group.Culture has several major components.The first important one is material possessions,which refer to objects like books or clothes.The non-material component can be illustrated by the following parts:values,norms,beliefs,emotions,attitudes,aspirations,laws,and symbols.The arrows in the figure point in both directions,suggesting that culture shapes these components.In turn,these aspects impact culture,which means culture is dynamic,always undergoing great changes.For example ,people who share the same level of material possessions may have different values or beliefs.People who have similar beliefs may change the ways to express emotions.From birth to death,people are faced with cultural messages and change in these components.Key2)Material possessionslaws attitudes emotionsListen to a speaker talking about her recent travels in West Africa and write down a short answer to each of the following questions.The Greatest Humanitarian CauseIn my recent travels to West Africa,I came to see how much in need so many people are in this part of the world.Infectious disease and poverty kill more people than those who die in the continuing bloody conflicts.We live in a world filed with conditions that cry out for others to help.What can you do in a world that needs such help?Serving and volunteering, whether in your community or in a developing country overseas,is a wonderful way to fill real human needs.Being involved in serving others and true humanitarian causes can offer you experience and contact with others that will help you through the rest of your life.The biggest benefit is that you have a direct impact on helping other human beings.We should remember that serving the needs of the despondent of this world is a very worthy cause.Doing good,one act at a time,one person at a time,is an important part of being a light in a world of darkness and preparing for a greater cause in the future.Key1.What are the West Africans suffering from?Infectious disease,poverty and continuing bloody conflicts.2.What can we do to fill real human needs?Serving and volunteering in our community or in a developing country overseas.3.What benefits can we enjoy from true humanitarian causes?Involvement in such causes offers us experience and contact with others,which will be beneficial throughout our life.4.Why is it a very worthy cause to serve the needs of the despondent of this world?Doing good for the despondent is like bringing light in a world of darkness and helps to prepare for greater causes in the future.Unit6U ni t6.m p3Listen to a speaker talking about the damage done by ice plete the following chart with the information you hear.Ice-Storm Numbers Tell Chilling TaleIn January1998,three successive storms dropped more than4inches of freezing rain in areas of New England and southern Canada.About100,00people had to take refuge in shelters,while the Red Cross raised more than$10million to help the victims.The ice brought down more than1,000power transmission towers and30,000 wooden utility poles.Nearly1.7million customers lost their electricity,in some areas for weeks.More than one-third of all farmland in the region was affected.Nearly 5.3million sugar-maple trees were in the path of the storm,and it may take 30to 40years for maple syrup production to return to normal.The hardest hit were dairy farmers,as nearly one-quarter of Canada's Cows were subjected to the storm.The ones that survived may never reach their previous level of production.Furthermore,2.5million gallons of milk,valued at more than $5million,had to be dumped because there was no electricity.KeyDamages Caused by Ice StormsUnit 7U

was born just a few hours ago.Like most of us at birth,there's really nothing to her:a bit of fat,a little of sugar,a bit of protein;actually she's 75per cent water.She's really a collection of

I don't eat much for breakfast, just some pickles and rice.15. I don't like sushi at all. I don't like any kind of fish.16. Cheese is my favorite food, especially feta cheese.Listening task1. When I want to eat something that makes me feel really good,I just eat rice and vegetables.Maybe with a little tofu.It's very simple, but it's my favorite food.It fills me up, and, well, it feels like home.I would choose rice and vegetables over a hamburger any day.I never eat hamburgers.I don't like the taste. They're too heavy.2. I have to say my favorite food is my mother's soup,especially on a cold day.My mother always makes soup.All kinds, but my favorite is her vegetable soup.I love the smell of soup cooking when I get home.But I don't like her chicken soup.My mom's a good cook,but I just don't like the taste of chicken.It doesn't matter how it's cooked.3. I love salads. I eat salad every day.I like the fresh feeling.How everything crunches when you bite into it.Like the lettuce, and the carrots, and all.That's probably why I don't like potatoes.I never eat potatoes. They are too soft, too mushy.I don't like how they feel in my mouth.4. My grandmother makes the best pasta.I love her pasta. She makes this incredible tomato sauce.I always eat it when I go to her house.I don't like all Italian food, though.Like pizza. I don't really like pizza.I guess it's the cheese. I don't like cheese very much.But my friends always want to get pizza.So when we're all together, I usually eat it anyway.Real world listeningGetting started: Do you like pizza?Today, I want to show you how to make delicious pizza.Many people hear the word pizzaand they think tomato sauce and cheese, right?But today I want to show you how pizza has gone international. You can also make Thai, Chinese, Greek,any kind of pizza you want.I'll show you how. It's fun. It's easy.First off, for any pizza there are three basic steps:the dough, then the sauce, and then the toppings,OK?Are you ready? Let's get started.The dough: So let's start with the dough.You can use this dough for any pizza.To make the dough we need one cup of water,three cups of flour, a tablespoon each of sugar and salt, and yeast. Oh, and a little oil.First we mix the dough. We mix everything together.Mix it well. Then, put the dough in a bowl and cover it.Wait about one hour. Look at the dough.Does it look bigger, kind of like a little pillow?Then it's ready. Next comes the fun part.You take the dough and make it into a big circle.Use your hands. Push it, and pull it, and stretch ituntil it's a big circle. This looks easy to do.It's a little tricky. Don't worry. You'll do fine.Practice makes perfect. The sauce: Then comes the sauce.I'll start with a traditional Italian pizza with tomato sauce.You take some tomato sauce and spread the tomato sauce all over. Remember, I said before, you can make any kind of pizza: Italian, Chinese, Thai?OK, so this is where it gets fun.Say you want to make a pizza with Chinese ingredients.You can use hoisin sauce instead.How about a Thai pizza? You can use a peanut sauce.You can choose the taste you like.Now listen up. This next step is very important for good pizza.For any sauce, spread a little oil first, then the sauce.Remember: oil, then sauce.Oh, and don't use too much sauce.That makes the dough wet.The toppings: Next comes the toppings.For toppings, again, you can use whatever you want:strips of chicken,slices of mushroom or sausage, onions, shrimp, pineapple, vegetables, cheese,whatever you like.One time I even had a Korean-like pizzawith a little bit of bulgogi—grilled beef—on it.They served it with kimchi! It was fantastic!Anyway, just sprinkle the toppings all over.OK, now put a little bit of oil on the toppings,the shrimp, or vegetables, whatever toppings you used.Just a little bit so it's not too dry.Finally, we are all set to bake the pizza.Bake the pizza for about twenty minutes in a very hot oven. And that's it. Your pizza is ready to eat.Sounds easy? It is.Give some to your friends. They'll love it!That's all for today. Until next time, ciao a tutti!Video 1Waitress: Are you ready to order?Dan: Yes, I think so.Waitress: What would you like then?Dan: I'll have steak with chips, and a small salad, please.Waitress: How would you like your steak?Dan: Medium-rare, please.Waitress: And what salad would you prefer?Dan: I'll go for the cheese and tomato salad.Waitress: Okay, and would you like anything to drink?Dan: Is there any red wine?Waitress: Yes, our house wine is quite good.Dan: I'll have a glass of that then, please.Waitress: Is there anything else you would like?Dan: No, that will do, thanks.Video 2Tim: What kind of food do you like?Phil: I like pasta, pizza, fish and chips, cheese sandwiches ...Tim: Isn't that kind of food heavy?Phil: Not really. It's simple, tastes good, and makes you full. Tim: I prefer Sichuan food to western food.Phil: So what's Sichuan food like?Tim: There are different kinds of dishes.My favorite is having a good, tasty hot pot!Phil: Isn't that kind of food oily?Tim: Sometimes, but we usually eat it with rice or steamed bread. Phil: So what flavour foods do you like?Tim: I like salty and spicy food. And you?Phil: Salty, or sweet and sour food.Spicy food makes my nose go runny!。

Unit 13 Marketing StrategiesSection TelemarketingDirections:Listen to a telephone call from a telemarketer. As you listen choose the best answer for each question.Man: Hello. Telemarketer: Good evening, Sir. Is this Mr. Charles Philips?Man: Yes, it is.Telemarketer: Well, Mr. Phillips. This evening, I'm calling to offer you a special discount on ...Man: Ah, no, let me guess. You want to sell a subscription to the newspaper or a great deal on airfare to Hawaii, right? [Well, . . . ]. Or, you want to offer me an unbelievable bargain on flamenco dance lessons.Telemarketer: No, no, actually…Mr. Jones. [Huh?] Oh, sorry. That was the last guy. [Ah, great.] Uh, we want to offer you a free trial membership to our sports club downtown at the introductory price of $39.95Man: Thirty-nine ninety-five?'? I thought you said free! Uh, listen. I'm not interested. Telemarketer: Well, it includes unlimited access to all our facilities, including the gym, weight room, racketball courts, and swimming pool.Man: Again, I'm not interested. I have my own fitness program I do around the house Telemarketer: anyway. Well, this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal.Man: Nah. Like I said, I'll pass this time. And please put me on your "don't call" list. Telemarketer: Okay. It'll take between four and six months before your name will be removed from our database. [Months?!?] You might be called by another representative during that time.Man: Ah, man. Ah, greatTelemarketer: Have a nice evening, Mr. Williams.Man: Ah. man.Section B Describing New ProductsDirections:Listen to sales representatives describing new products. Are these products selling well? Complete the chart below.Salesperson 1OK, our new subzero sleeping bag here has a patented design, and it has revolutionary filling. We've had it tested by hikers and campers in subzero temperatures. And they're not only happy with the warmth, but they're also very pleased with how light it is. Now, our bags also take up less room than the bulkier, heavier sleeping bags you're used to, so campers don't have to sacrifice any of their equipment. We found that people who are new to hiking didn't like the term "subzero" because the idea of being outdoors when it's that cold is not very appealing. So, now we just emphasize how warm and lightweight it is, and it's selling better than any other sleeping bag!Salesperson 2You know, I first thought that this compact, portable electronic dictionary was going to sell really well—especially with the back-to-school market. You know, all school kids need to check a dictionary, right? Well, it Just doesn't seem to be taking off. I'm finding out that more and more kids these days have computers. And you know that computers have software with dictionaries, and most word-processing programs have spell check. Then I thought, "OK, there are still people who like to write the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper." Well, a number of those people have told me that they still like the old-fashioned dictionaries, too.Salesperson 3We sell this really neat remote-control device that sends out a signal to start your car. It even lets you heat it up before you have to go out. That's a really great feature in the winter. So often, you know, people complain about how long it takes to warm up the car. People hate being cold . . . and they hate having to wait even more! This gizmo sells really well during the winter holidays.Section C QuestionnaireDirections: Listen to a dialogue between a market researcher and a consumer. As you listen, complete the form with the information you hear.Woman: Yes?Man: Oh, good morning, Madam. I'm from Pestaway Market Research. I'm doingconsumer research in this area. I wonder if you'd mind telling me—do you use Pestaway in your home?Woman: Pestaway? Oh—the insecticide thing. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I do,Man: What do you use it for. Madam? Fleas, ants, cockroaches, woodworm?Woman: Oh, cockroaches. This is an old house, you see, and we often get cockroaches in the kitchen. I tried scrubbing and disinfecting but it didn't seem to be much good, and then 1 heard a commercial about Pestaway, so I thought I'd try that.Man: Was that on 'IV?Woman: No, it was radio—one of those early morning shows.Man: You heard it advertised on the radio. Fine. And you say you use it in the kitchen. Do you use it anywhere else in the house? In the bathroom, say?Woman: Oh, no we've never had any trouble anywhere else.

Complete the sentences and answer the questions below. You will hear each talk twice. At the end of each talk therewill be a 3-minute pause, during which time you are asked to write down youranswers briefly. You now have 25 seconds to read the questions or sentencesbelow.Talk OnePackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has "Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Question 1. According to the passage, what is the meaning of the word "motivate"? Question 2. What does 'A buyer will get something for nothing" most probably mean? Question 3. Why do people prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish?Talk TwoMarshall Field's, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: "Give the lady what she wants." Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It often studies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens.Marketing research is divided into a number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new product development.Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.Unit 14 About HealthSection A Talking about SymptomsDirections: Listen to the conversations.
