视听说教程例⽂unit1book1Unit 1 book 11.听⼒原⽂(Active Listening and Speaking 1)Hi, I’m Donna Bones, life and relationship coach here in New York City, and the author of It’s All About You.In this program, we’ll talk about how to make a good first impression in college. And the first thing is really just the basics. Make sure that you dress nice. You know, just because you can doesn’t mean you should wear sweat pants, and be really casual when you go to class.Be on time. Being on time just shows respect and it’s a good habit to get into for your whole life. If you can sit near the front where you can participate and ask questions, then that’s a good way to make a good impression.And, really study. I know it’s tempting, but you are in college to learn. So, if you can, really make your studies a priority and do that first. So the best way to make a good impression is to make school your top priority, dress nice, ask questions in class, show up on time, and really dedicate yourself to learning. I promise you as you get older and go through life, yes, you’ll look back at the great times you had in college. But the most important thing is the education that you got at college.And as far as to the other students, if you want to make a good impression, maybe, you know, go join a fraternity or sorority or something. And join a club, or something else to get you involved with other people, because then you can get to meet other people and make new friends.So I think, as long as you’re true to yourself, and confident in yourself, and proud of yourself, you’ll always make a good first impression no matter where you go.2.words bankSome examples for your reference:Words SentencescasualI had no idea what Sunday lunch meant in French terms, whetherit was formal or casual.priorityHis first priority was to find someone who could aid him in hissearch.dedicate Divide up what you have to learn into manageable parts and then dedicate one day to one part.involvePeople should note that health funds are not morally acceptableas they may include companies involved in animal testing. confidentThere were times when I’d done both those things, but still wasn'tvery confident.participateThe athlete refused to participate in the games for politicalreasons.3.how to start a conversationExpression for starting a conversation at a Party or Club:—What an amazing party!

But since I can’t be, I've put some of my favorite memories in this box. Live every moment, Sydney. Grabevery opportunity. And have fun in everything you do. The friends you meet in college will be your friends for life. Perhaps you’ll fill this box with your own memories to pass on to your daughter someday. And know that though I can't be there with you now, I'm always right by your side every step of the way.

The young man snoring there, perhaps?Student 1:The Founding Fathers were afraid that direct democracy would do to America what it did to Rome. Alexander Hamilton even advocated a monarchy.

Still here after eight years. What do you say we give someone else a chance to respond this time, huh? Um... Ms. Witcburn?Ms. Witchburn:Most Americans don’t educate themselves about the issues.

How about... you? Ms?Sydney:White.Professor:Ms. White. Any thoughts?Sydney:Um... I guess I think that's... underestimatingthe masses a bit. Not to mention overestimatingthe elites.

Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningPlease listen to a short passage carefully and prepare to answer some questions.Second ListeningListen to the tape again. Then answer the following questions with your own experiences.1. What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?2. Why do you think the computer can help you in learning English?3. What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top ofmy class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up withthe flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends.I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.Section BKeys to Successful Online LearningWhile regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community. Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming aware of online learning that allows them to study at home. Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.1. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning.Many different people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.2. Be able to communicate through writing.In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. In this way, students gain great insight from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.3. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong. If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem. If another student is able to help, she/he probably will. While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about the subject.4. Take the program seriously.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education — not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.5. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning.Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking. In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor, by their classmates and by their own work.6. Be able to think ideas through before replying.Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning. Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged. Many times online students will not always be right; they just need to be prepared to accepta challenge.7. Keep up with the progress of the course.Online learning is normally sequential and requires commitment on the students' part. Keeping up with the face-to-face class and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online. People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students. If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make.Section CTeaching Children at HomeRecord numbers of children are being taken out of school and taught by their parents at home. Up to 100 children a month are leaving the classroom because parents are not satisfied with schools. Around 15,000 families now teach their children at home, a rise of 50 per cent from last year, according to the latest figures.This present rise in home schooling is blamed on the nature of examinations, not getting children into the school of choice,and dissatisfaction with teaching methods. Some parents prefer keeping children home because of attacks by other students and a lack of discipline in schools. Researchers say, however, many families prefer teaching at home because they feel the idea of public schooling is not modern. They believe schools will be things of the past in 20 years as media technology, like the Internet, teaches children. 1. ______Under the law, parents must teach their children, whether at school or at home. Community officials are charged with protecting their schooling. Professor Meighan of Nottingham University says parents were fed up with the requirements of existing schools. For him, schools are an out-of-date concept from the days of the town crier(市政传令员), when it was difficult to get information and a central person was needed to communicate knowledge. He also thinks parents are recognizing education is moving on and don't want their children to be held back by out-of-date methods. 2. ______Meighan suggests children will be taught at home using the Internet, computers, and video(录像片). He thinks future schools will be small groups of children, sharing equipment in their homes. The teachers may become advisers who sort through the information. 3. ______Future schooling was questioned by Sir Christopher Ball of the Royal(皇家的`)Society of Arts. He thinks learning in the future will include an international curriculum and international standards. He sees some present models of schooling —community schools and home schooling, for example —becoming more central and other models, not yet existing, may develop. 4. ______How Personal Choice Brings O-Level Success at 13Leslie Barson is already running the type of school that researchers think will teach children in the future. Based partly at a community centre and partly in family homes, the Otherwise Club includes some 35 families around north London. Professional teachers are brought in to help with special subjects, but mostly parents and children work together on units like studying the Greeks or the American Civil War, reading about events, making costumes(戏装), and learning how people used to live. 5.______ 6. ______Parents choosing home schooling say the freedom of home learning allows some children to sit one or two GCEs by the age of 13. Ms. Barson's own children, Luis, age 12, and 7-year-old Lilly, have never attended school. She pays around 2,000 pounds a year for private teachers to help in special areas. She set up the Otherwise Club six years ago with just a few students. She thinks the purpose of teaching children is to develop their self-worth. Her son agrees. Luis, now teaching himself math, said, "I like the freedom to learn things that interest me, especially music. I don't feel I am missing out on anything by not being at school because I am a member of various clubs and have friends who attend normal school." 7. ______ 8. ______The “Danger” of Separating StudentsHome schooling could change children's relations with their peers and older people because of long periods spent with their parents. Most professors agree future learning will be more centred around the home, and fear children could become isolated and shy. Professor Michael Barber of London University said pupils could spend half their time at school, half at home as a way to solve this problem. He believes very strongly that children need the experience of school to ensure the quality ofbeing taught the basics and being examined. He thinks children must spend time with peers to learn the rules of work in a democratic(民主的)society and to learn how to deal with relations with more people than just their parents. Margaret Rudland, head teacher in Hammersmith, also thinks children must experience actual peer relations. 9. ______ 10. ______。

英语听力Unit1How's your college life?Listening in--Task1Good morning,everyone.I'd like to welcome you to City University.I'm Betty Russell and I work in the International Students' Office.I have some important information for you.First,you must enroll by August28th.Pick up your ID card at our office.Then,you'll need to pick up a library card so you can borrow books from the library.Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you.You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school.There's no charge for students,but of course you'll have to show your ID card when you go there.Concerning medical assistance,the university has its own health center,and all services are free for enrolled students.Listening in--Task2John:Hi,Lisa.How's life on campus?Lisa:Hi,John.Oh,not so bad.Pretty good in fact.John:ls that what you think?I mean,do you like living on campus? Lisa:Yeah,l enjoy living here because there are so many people around and it's easy to make friends.What about you?Have you ever lived in a dorm before?John:No,this is my first time.Lisa:I think you'll find it quite convenient.The library,labs,sports center and other facilities are right on campus.John:That's true.The atmosphere here is different.But I guess living in town has its advantages too,like being close to the shopping center.You know,our university is so far from downtown.Lisa:But imagine commuting to classes...I mean,you would have to get up so early to get to class on time.And then going home would take so much time.John:Yeah,but what about the food here?It seems like it's the same thing in the cafeteria every day.Lisa:Well,I think the food here is OK,and if you want a change,you can eat out once in a while.John:True.Listening in--Task3There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course.He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview.Since the boy answered all the questions correctly,the interviewer decided to corner him."Tell me your choice," said the interviewer to the boy."I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult.Which option would you prefer?Think before you make up your mind."The boy thoughtfor a while and said,"My choice is one really difficult question." "Well,you have made your own choice!"said the interviewer."Tell me: Which comes first,day or night?"The boy was jolted first but he thought for a while and said,"It's the day,sir.""Why?"asked the interviewer.He was smiling."Sorry,sir,but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!"Admission to the course was thus secured.Further listening and speaking--Task1University life is a new and different experience for me.First of all,living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility,of being on my own.My parents aren't around to say,"No,you're not going out tonight."I decide everything for myself.Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect of university life that I enjoy.When I arrived on campus for my first day,I was a bit confused about where I was going.An upperclassman noticed me and asked,"Are you a new student?"When he found out I was looking for my dorm,he said,"Oh,just follow me;that's where I'm going."Now,I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm becausethere are so many friendly people around to talk with.Finally,I love having Fridays off;I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row.How did I do it in high school?I love sleeping in on Fridays.I'm sort of a party animal;it seems like I go out every Thursday night.It alsoseems like I don't get home until early the next day!My head hits the pillow and I don't move until Friday afternoon.Further listening and speaking--Task2Though it makes up50%of everyday communication,listening,it seems,is the least taught subject.Listening is more than just hearing:it requires understanding.In an educational setting,listening effectively is critical.Effective listening helps us do our assignments well,and take better notes.Doing these activities well results in better learning and,most of the time,in good grades.In a professional setting,listening is also critical.When you receive an oral message,your response must be correct.If you fail to listen to customers or clients,you may lose THEIR business,and YOUR job!In a personal setting,listening deepens your relationships.When we listen to someone,we say"You are important" without ever speaking a word.When we fail to listen,not only do we not receive the message,but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.Unit2Do you work out?Listening in--Task1I first saw Yao Ming back in1997.Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks.We had a little party to introduceourselves and to meet the players.A few of US were there when the team walked in.They looked normal;most of them were about6'4"or so.Then,a thin,baby-faced guy came in.He was about7'5".We were all amazed.We couldn't believe his size.And when he started hitting three-pointers,we were really blown away!Our guys in the U.S.didn't believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall.To convince them,we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer.Yao had always played against kids who were older than him.This was the first time he was competing with players his own age.Del Harris,then the Lakers coach,was at the camp.He fell in love with Yao Ming.He was telling everybody,"I got to have a picture with that kid.One day he's going to have a real impact on the NBA."Listening in--Task2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise.Physical exercise can make you strong and healthy.By doing some form of physical exercise every day,your level of energy will increase and you will sleep better at night.There are many different forms of physical exercise that suit the various tastes and needs of different people.Take track and field events,for example.Throwing the javelin can strengthen your arm and upper body.The long jump and high jump can strengthen your legs.Basketball,football and volleyball are alsogood forms of exercise.Be careful when choosing the right type of exercise for yourself.If your heart is weak,for example,you should start with light exercise.If you are overweight,know your limits.Don't overdo it.Listening in--Task3One day,a grandfather went golfing with his grandson.The young man was really good and the grandfather was just giving him tips.They were on Hole8and there was a tree in the way.The grandfather said,"When I was your age,I would hit the ball right over that tree." So,the grandson hit the ball and it bumped againstthe tree and landed close to where it had started."Of course,"added the grandfather,"when I was your age,the tree was only three feet tall."Further listening and speaking--Task1Sports are very important in the U.S.,for both spectators and participants.Many people have jobs where they sit for most of the day,So when they have free time,they like to take part in more physical activities.Both team sports and individual activities are popular.Youth sports are usually played either in local clubs or in schools.Most major league sports recruit their players from college or high school teams.Spectator sports are also a major part of American culture.ManyAmericans watch sports weekly,if not daily.Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheer on their local lions more choose to watch on TV and root from their own living rooms.On TV,American football,baseball and basketball are the most popular sports.Soccer has a long way to go before it is on the same level as the"big three".Although there is some overlapping,football is played in the fall,basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring and summer.American professional teams are privately owned and generally situated in major cities,so they have a large fan base to draw from.There's no government involvement in these leagues.Further listening and speaking--Task2A businessman entered a hotel and placed his umbrella in the stand.Before going upstairs,he tied a card to his umbrella.The card said:"N.B.-This umbrella belongs to a champion heavyweight boxer.Back in ten minutes."In about20minutes he returned,but the umbrella was gone.The card,however,was still there,and on it someone had written: "P.S.-Umbrella taken by a champion long-distance runner.Won't be back at all."Unit3Tell me about your friends.Listening in--Task1I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom.When I have trouble studying,or I'm worried about an exam,I just take a look at it.It is a picture of my best friends.It was taken years ago when we were in high school.It reminds me of the good times we've shared and the support their friendship still gives me today.Even though our lives have gone in different directions,the bond we created has kept us close.We update each other about what's been going on through text messaging,Facebook,and Twitter.I often get e-mails with a joke for the day,or words of comfort about some problems in my life.My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties,and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest.Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences,and has enriched the good ones.It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements,changes,and separation.Listening in--Task2As a foreign student,I have a number of problems.The biggest one is meeting people.I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems in my studies,but I'm not comfortable making friends with other students,especially local ones.Perhaps I'm worrying unnecessarily,but I find it difficult to talk to them.The primary reason is the language barrier.My English is quite standard and formal,and although that helpsme with my academic work,I have trouble understanding other students when they are just chatting.It seems I really need informal,colloquial English.Besides,there's the cultural gap.That's why it's so difficult for overseas students and native English-speaking students to really get to know each other.I really want to overcome this difficulty.I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about coursework that we share,and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee.Over coffee we could get to know each other.Another way would be to join a club on campus,because that immediately gives us something in common with other people there.Further listening and speaking--Task1One day,I saw a kid from my class walking home from school.His name was Robert.It looked like he was carrying all of his books.I thought to myself,"Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?" Then,I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.They ran at him,knocking all his books out of his arms.His glasses went flying.He looked up and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes.My heart went out to him.As I handed his glasses,there was a big smile on his face.I helped him pick up his books.We talked all the way home,and I carried his books.Monday morning came,and there was Robert with the huge stack of books again.Over thenext four years,we became best friends.On graduation day,Robert gave aspeech on behalf of the class.He said,"I am here to tell you a story."l just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.He had planned to kill himself that weekend.He talked of how he was carrying his stuff home."Thankfully,"he said,"my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."Not until that moment did I realize that sometimes,with one small gesture,you can change a person's life.Further listening and speaking--Task2You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime.However,not everybody can make lifelong friendships.Friends sometimes misunderstand each other.For one thing,you may want your friends to be near at hand,but also you need your independence and privacy.For example,when one of your friends comes asking if it is all right to spend the evening at your house,sometimes you just say"no"to him or her because it is not convenient for you.Unfortunately,not all your friends understand this type of independence.Some people believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be "yes".Also,misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help.You may expect your friends to help you no matter what the circumstances are.But the fact is,your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs.This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade.The most important thing for youand your friends is to always show understanding and respect for each other.Unit4How's the weather today?Listening in--Task1We all know that people cannot control the weather.However,we can predict important short term changes in the weather.This is called weather forecasting.Many people rely on the weatherperson to provide that information,but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and your brain.For example,if you see a rainbow in a rainy evening,it means that the weather will soon be clear and fine.Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees appear very clear and near;this means that there is a lot of water vapor in the air.It is usually a sign of rain.If fog appears around sunrise,then the day will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red,then the following day will be fine.Clear,twinkling stars at night are also a sign of fine weather.Listening in--Task2M:Hey,Jane!Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?W:Yeah.They'll all be here at11sharp!I've got all the food and drinks for the barbecue,and Tom is bringing the grill.M:OK.I've got that old net;we can use it for beach volleyball.W:Oh,I forgot to tell you.I've invited Class Two and Three as well.We'll be able to have a volleyball match,one class against the other.That'll be great fun.M:Did you check the weather?I hope it's going to stay nice for the weekend.We can't have a picnic in the rain.W:No worries!I watched the weather forecast last night,and the weatherperson said it's going to be fine——maybe a little cloudy,but DEFINITELY no rain!(Next morning)M:What terrible weather!It's raining buckets!W:There's no way we can go out in that.The weatherperson is useless——I hope they had a picnic today,too.M:I don't know what's happened with the weather these days.When I was little,we never had this much rain in the summer.W:l agree.And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well?We always used to get snow in January.Now winter is more like spring! M:You're telling me.I bet it's all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that's changing the weather.W:Oh,global warming and all that.M:I guess we'll have to take a rain check on the picnic.Listening in--Task3A film crew was on location deep in the desert.One day an old man went up to the director and said,"Tomorrow,rain."The next day it rained.A week later,the old man went up to the director and said,"Tomorrow,storm."The next day there was a hailstorm."This old man is incredible,"said the director.He told his secretary to hire the old man to predict the weather.However,after several successful predictions,the man didn't show up for two weeks.Finally the director sent for him."I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,"said the director,"and I'm depending on you.What will the weather be like?"The old man shrugged his shoulders."Don'tknow,"he said."The radio broke!"Further listening and speaking--Task1You may not believe that our mental energy varies from season to season,but some people think that it does.Research has shown that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.Scientists have discovered that cool weather helps creative thinking much more than warm weather does.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.People seem to be a lot sharper in spring than they are in any other season.One reason may be that in spring,people's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bringabout great changes in nature.Fall is the next best season,then winter.Summer seems to be the best time to take a long vacation from thinking.This does not mean thatall people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of most people tend to be lowest in summer.Be aware of these facts,and you will make the most of your talents.Further listening and speaking--Task2Although he was a qualified meteorologist,Hopkins ran up a terrible record of forecasting for the TV news program.He became something of a local joke when a newspaper began keeping a record of his predictions and showed that he'd been wrong almost three hundred times in a single year.That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired.He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job.One blank on the job application asked the reason for leaving his previous position.Hopkins wrote,"The climate didn't agree with me.'Unit5What's your favorite food?Listening in--Task1Eating habits in America really get a lot of criticism.But the truthis,it depends on where in America you look.In big cities,people are becoming more health-conscious every day.This is shown by what foods they buy in supermarkets,and what restaurants they eat in.There is now a big push for"green"foods that are grown naturally.In cities like New York and Chicago,restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition.However,these habits contrast with those in America's heartland.Here,people tend to eat more traditional and fattier,such as breakfasts of eggs,bacon,sausages,toast and other greasy,but delicious foods.Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald's and the Olive Garden,which serve cheaper food,draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.Listening in--Task2W:John,I'm really hungry!M:Just get anything you want;it's on me today.I'm thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.W:Thanks.That sounds good.I love the milk shakes here.M:Me,too.McDonald's has a really special formula.W:Right.And no matter where you go in the world,you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald's. M:It's true.They also do well because of diversity.I mean,they selldifferent products according to people's tastes and preferences in different areas.W:Right.Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China.They could never sell that here!M:But I've heard that McDonald's is really losing market share in the States now,and has closed some restaurants.W:Yeah.It's just so difficult to stay competitive when there are so many fast food chains in the States.I mean there are KFC,Pizza Hut,and A&W, just to name a few.M:It seems that they're doing better overseas,'cause they're really able to sell American culture.W:Yeah.They use all the media they can,and they do a good job.Further listening and speaking--Task1Food is national and international.Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones.You can find European and Asian restaurants in most large cities.You can find Italian,French,Chinese,and Mexican restaurants in New York,Washington,San Francisco,and many other cities in the United States.You might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some American cities.American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris.In almost every country you will findrice,potatoes,eggs,bread,soup,meat,vegetables,milk,fruit,and other basic foods.People just cook them differently in different countries.People all over the world also prefer different things to drink.The English drink a lot of tea,and the French drink a lot of wine.Americans prefer coffee,milk or soda.German beer is now completely international.Children are often very conservative about new foods.In the United States they often prefer to eat thesame three or four dishes:hamburgers and French fries,hot dogs,fried chicken,and ice cream.Further listening and speaking--Task2I've always ordered my soft drinks in a simple way.For example,I might say"A Coke,please."Lately,though,this hasn't seemed to work.Servers now often respond,"Regular Coke,Diet Coke or Coke Zero?"Or,they may say:"I'm sorry,we don't have Coke.We have Pepsi,Diet Pepsi,Dr.Pepper,7-Up,Hartridges,Virgin Cola,Sprite,and Red Bull."Exhausted by listening to the long list of soft drinks,I thought I'd make life easier.So one day I simply asked the snack bar staff at a cinema for a"dark,cold,carbonated drink".The young man behind the counter smiled and asked,"Yes,sir,and would you like a long,thin,cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"Unit6Being healthy felt great!Listening in--Task1lf you're a young lady in your twenties,you may either be on a diet or wondering which diet to follow.Indeed,people are so concerned with their appearance that the word"diet"has lost its original meaning.It now has the same meaning as"weight loss diet".There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure.Then came Twiggy,a British supermodel most famous in the1960s,and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig.Because of this trend,many diets have become popular.Very often you meet young girls who look weak enough to blow away in thewind,yet they are still talking about diets!However,extreme diets can lead to health problems.Many such dieters may end up with very serious eating disorders.Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite;Karen Carpenter,a popular singer of the1970s,died of loss of appetite.You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at the risk of your healthor your life.Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good.Listening in--Task2(D=Doctor,male;S=Student,female)D:Hello,I'm Dr.Black.How're you feeling?S:I'm not feeling well,doctor.D:What seems to be the problem?S:I don't know.I just feel tired all the time.I want to sleep all day.I'm not interested in studying or being with people.D:How long has this been going on?S:Almost one month now.D:Are there any other symptoms?S:I'm just tired.D:DO you have many friends?S:I don't really have many here.I'm an international student.D:I imagine that many things in your life here are different from your life at home.S:Yeah,my life's changed a lot.Food,customs,socializing...Even body language and gestures are all different from what I'm used to in my own country.D:How long have you lived here?S:Almost three months now.It seems much longer;it's a struggle for me to get used to the new way of life here.D:Hmm.Well,let's check you over.(a few minutes later)Well,I don't see anything physically wrong with you.Your heart is strong.Your lungs are clear.Your blood pressure is normal.S:Then what do you think is wrong with me,doctor?D:Your problem seems to be culture shock.Sometimes when people move to a new location,especially a new country,they experience culture shock. Sometimes this culture shock can be serious,and people become very depressed.I suggest that you try to spend some time each week with people from your own culture.S:But my teachers tell me to speak English all the time.D:I understand,but right now we need to deal with your symptoms.Follow my advice,and you'll feel better.S:How long does this last?D:Culture shock lasts for a while and then begins to disappear.The length of time varies from person to person.If you aren't feeling better in two or three weeks,please call me again.Further listening and speaking--Task1While every university in America have their own policies and creates their own rules,most provide some type of medical service or health insurance for students,especially large universities.If students have a cold,or other illnesses,they can see a doctor,and they may also seek medical advice on a range of issues.Free testing for STDs such as HIV is a major part of disease prevention——sharing important information about the epidemic is alsoimportant.If students need a major operation or procedure,they must seek outside assistance,but the school may help them to make the arrangements.Smaller universities and colleges are not likely to provide in-depth medical assistance;they usually deal with small problems in housing,and assist students in taking care of major issues off campus.Universities and colleges without student housing do not offer medical services.Further listening and speaking--Task2There's nothing gradual about the flu.It hits you like a hammer.One minute you're feeling fine,and the next you can be shivering,burning up,and then shivering again.In minutes,your legs become weak and your body aches in places that have never hurt before.Influenza can break out so suddenly that people can sometimes say,"It hit me at exactly nine last night."But whether the flu strikes at night or on the bus to school,there's just one thing a victim wants to do:lie down in bed.A healthy person can fight off the flu in three to five days,though coughing and tiredness can last two more weeks.An attack of the flu is often followed by another illness.Doctors recommend that old people,or people of any age with heart or lung problems,get a flu vaccine every year.Because flu viruses change all the time,a new vaccine must be prepared each year to protect against future attacks.Unit7How much does it cost?Listening in--Task1Malls are popular places in the United States.People like malls for many reasons.They feel safe because malls have private security guards and sometimes even police stations.Parking is usually free,and the weather inside is always fine.The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota.It covers4.2million square feet.It has350stores,eight nightclubs,and a seven-acre park!There are parking spaces for12,750cars.About750,000people shop there every week.The first indoor mall in the United States was built in1965in Minnesota,but now malls are like town centers where people come to do many things.They shop,eat foods from all over the world,and see movies at theaters.Some people even get their daily exercise from the new sport of"mall walking".Others go to malls to meet friends.In some malls,people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church.Basically,people can do just about anything in malls.Listening in--Task2W:Hey,Don,online shopping is so popular nowadays.Where is a good place to buy electronics online?。
