The talk is given twice.The world is so bright with color everywhere that it’s hard to imagine that other creatures(动物) don’t see it as we do. But how can we find out whether animals can see color when they cannot tell us?Scientists have made many experiments to get the answer to this. The bee has been the subject(研究对象) of hundreds of these tests, because we have been curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color. In one experiment,a bit of syrup(糖浆) was put in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a redcard. After a while, the bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had no syrup in front of it. This proved they can tell colors apart.Two strange things were found out about the bee’s ability to see in color. The first is that a bee cannot see red as a color. For a bee, it’s only dark grey or black.The second is that bees can see ultraviolet(紫外线) as a color, while, for human beings, it is just darkness.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questionsorally.1. What did scientists try to find out?They tried to find out whether animal can see color.2. Why did they use the bees at the subject?Because they were curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color.3. What did they do in the experiment?They put a bit of syrup in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a red card.4. What was the result of the experiment?The bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had not syrup in front of it.5. What can we learn from the experiment?Bees don’t see colors as we do.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below。

Book 4 Unit 2 Part D 听力原文Section A1. M: Good morning, Madam, could you tell me how old you are?W: Well, I don’t remember, doctor, but I will try to think. When I married, I was eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now, my husband is seventy, I know.Q: How old is the lady?2. W: Hey, have you heard about this? The film star, Janice, was followed by paparazzi all the time. Isn’t it terrible?M: Everyone’s got a right to some privacy, but if you want to be famous, you have to accept the press and the media.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: How did you like the president’s speech tonight?M: Unfortunately I got home too late to watch it.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?4. W: I’ve noticed that you haven’t been talking to your roommate lately.M: It is supposed to be private, but you’ve got that right. And it’ s g oing to be a long time before I feel comfortable with him again.Q: What does the man mean?5. W: So, what did you think about the discussion at lunch? I didn’t realize people have such strong feelings about privacy.M: Are you kidding? That subject always touches a nerve.Q: What does the man mean?6. M: So, you and Julia are no longer roommates. I’m not surprised. Y ou two never did things very compatible.W: Yeah. Well, it’s not that we didn’t get along. We just didn’t have much in common.Q: What can be inferred about the woman?7. W: So how did you make out with your private German lessons last month? Any improvement? M: Let’s just say it was money down the drain.Q: What does the man mean?8. M: I can’t seem to find my calculator. Did I lend it to you by any chance?W: No, but you are welcome to use mine if you want, as long as I get it back by Thursday.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 1M: Good morning, Professor Harkens. I hope I am not disturbing you.W: Not at all, Tom. Come right in. I’m always in my office in the morning.M: I thought I’d get an early start on my research paper and would like to discuss my topic withyou if you have a moment.W: Of course. I recommend that all my students should discuss their topics with me before they begin their research. What do you want to work on?M: I was especially interested in your lecture on dinosaurs and the apparent mystery surrounding their extinction. I’d like to explore that question, but I’m not too sure how to go about it.W: Well, according to the most widely held theory, the dinosaurs died out because of the sudden cooling of the earth’s temperature. Y our textbook summarizes the conclusion of several paleontologists on this point.M: Didn’t you also mention a second theory in your lecture? That dinosaurs may simply have been replaced by mammals gradually and might not die out as a direct response to the cool weather?W: Y es. V an V ellen and Sloan are proponents of this theory. And I’ve put some of their articles on reserve in the library.M: V an V ellen and Sloan? I’d better write that down.W: Let me know how your work progresses, Tom. If you should run into any problems, be sure to stop by again.9. Who are the two speakers?10. What is the main focus of Tom’s research?11. Who most likely are V an V ellen and Sloan?Conversation 2W: Hew! This rowing is hard work. Let’s have the boat toward the old lighthouse now.M: Good idea. We can rest there for a while and eat our lunch. Then we can climb to the top platform where the light is before we visit the museum at the base of the lighthouse tower.W: Whenever I came out here, I thought about the family who used to live on the little island and take care of the light every night. What a lonely life that must have been!M: Y eah, to help ships find their way along shoreline, at night, they had to constantly make sure that the windows up around the light were clean and free of ice and snow.W: Dirty soot must have be en a problem. Didn’t they burn candles up there?M: This one used to have a kerosene lamp. But they changed over to electricity around 1920, I think.W: In New Port, Rode Island, people talked about a woman who was a lighthouse keeper for over 50 years. Ida Louise was her name. She saved a lot of people from dying in ship wrecks.M: Was her lighthouse out on an island like this one?W: On one even smaller and further from land. In stormy weathers, it was pretty dangerous for small boats.M: I understand the United States Coast Guard takes care of the most modern lighthouses.W: Y eah, but the light is automatic nowadays. The lighthouse is still a friendly sight at night though.M: Here we are. This lighthouse is the friendliest sight I’ve seen today. I’m exha usted.12. What are the people doing?13. What was a major problem for every lighthouse keeper?14. Why was Ida Louise famous?15. How does the man feel at the end of the conversation?Section BPassage 1More and more electronic devices and services in our daily life mean we have too many passwords and numbers to remember. Passwords help us protect our wealth and privacy; however, they also bring us a lot of troubles.Every day I need to remember much useless information. Every morning I turn on my cellphone — it needs a password. I get to work and I have to have access to my computer with a password. Like many people in Britain, I have two bank accounts. One needs a five-digit number and a password; the other needs a six-digit number and a memorable place name. I have an online savings account that needs a different password from the password for my bank account.Even if you never use a computer, you can be hit by the password overload. Look in your wallet. Y ou probably carry four or five credit cards. In these days of chip and pin, these are virtually useless if you do not have the magic four-digit numbers. The banks tell you not to have the same number for all your cards. Give me a break. Am I going to carry five different random four-digit numbers in my head? After all, I’m not Good Will Hunting.I’ve tried systems to help me remember —such as using the names of favorite films or members of my extended family; but none seems to work. So what is the solution?16. What do passwords bring to us?17. Which of the following does NOT need a password?18. What has the speaker tried to do to remember his passwords?Passage 2Internet is threatening our privacy. In the past, if a shop manager wanted to know you better, he had to rely on a good memory for detail. They came out from behind the counter to give you personalized service, browsed the shelves with you and made recommendations.In this digital marketplace, the “shop manager” may actually be a machine. It searches in its memory of information about you, analyzes it and creates a clear portrait of what you are likely to buy and do in the future. Not all companies approach personalization in the same way. For some websites, the approach is direct: they ask you to take a survey about what you like, and then make offers that match your interests. Another way is through IP addresses, the electronic place from which you browse the Web. and many other sites also compare individual’s browsing and buying habits to those of thousands and millions of other consumers in their databases. Using a technique called collaborative filtering, they can find out your likely interests. This is based on what they know about what like-minded people buy or do.But this new use of Internet begins to trouble some computer users. They worry that advertisers can track their private information without their knowledge, and that files about them might be put to ill use somehow, or shared with wrong people. Sometimes they just don’t like being watched.19. Which of the following do traditional shop managers NOT do to know their customers?20. In the digital market, which of the following does the “shop manager” NOT do?21. How does know about its customers?22. Which of the following troubles some computer users?Passage 3Every day you share personal information about yourself with others. It’s so routine that you may not even realize you’re doing it. Y ou may write a check at the grocery store, charge tickets to a ball game, rent a car, mail your tax returns, buy a gift online, call home on your cell phone, schedule a doctor’s appointment, or apply for a credit card. Each transaction requires you to share personal information: your bank and credit card account numbers; your income; your Social Security Number (SSN); or your name, address, and phone numbers.It’s important to find out what happens to the personal information you and your children provide to companies, marketers, and government agencies. These organizations may use your information simply to process your order; to tell you about products, services, or promotions; or to share with others.And then there are unscrupulous individuals, like identity thieves, who want your information to commit fraud. Identity theft — the fastest-growing white-collar crime in America —occurs when someone steals your personal identifying information, like your SSN, birth date, or mother’s maiden name, to open new charge accounts, order merchandise, or borrow money. Consumers targeted by identity thieves usually don’t know they’ve been victimized. But when the fraudsters fail to pay the bills or repay the loans, collection agencies begin pursuing the consumers to cover debts they didn’t even know they had.23. In which of these actions may people NOT reveal their private information?24. What may organizations use your private information to do?25. When will the consumers notice that their private information was stolen?Section C26. launched27. previously28. critical29. seminars30. genetic31. collaboration32. perform33. accusing him of34. added a clause to35. walk out。

There were 12 demigods (半神半人), according to this legend, and then Loki (火神) appeared, making the 13th. Since Loki was evil and cruel and caused human misfortunes (灾祸), and since he was the 13th demigod, the number 13 came to be a sign of bad luck.Some people think the superstition goes back to the fact that there were 13 persons at the Last Supper, and that Judas (犹大) was the 13th guest!

The talk is given twice.The new inmate (住院者) at the mental hospital announced in a loud voice that he was the famous British naval (海军的) hero, Lord Nelson. This was particularly interesting because the institution already had a “Lord Nelson.”The head psychiatrist (精神病医生), after due (充分的) consideration, decided to put the two men in the same room, feeling that the similarity of their delusions (错觉) might promote an adjustment in each that could help in curing them.It was a calculated (成败参半的) risk, of course, for the two men might react violently to one another, but they were introduced and then left alone and no disturbance was heard from the room that night.The next morning, the doctor had a talk with his new patient and was more than pleasantly surprised when he was told, “Doctor, I’ve been suffering from a delicious.I know now for a fact that I am not Lord Nelson.”“That’s wonderful,” said the doctor. “Who are you?”Smiling coyly (羞答答地), the patient replied, “I’m Lady Nelson.”9.

Unit 2认错人（改编）认错人（改编） 马克•吐温马克•吐温几年前的一天，我来到萨拉曼卡——纽约附近的一个火车站。

我计划在那儿搭乘卧车。

站台上都是人，他们涌入长长的卧车，把列车挤得满满的。

我问售票处的人能否买两张票，但他厉声回答说：“没票！”然后冲着我的脸关上了窗。

这真是对我尊严的莫大打击，然而我又需要这两张车票。

我找到一位地方官员，问他能否在卧铺车厢的某个地方找个可怜的小角落；但他猛然打断了我，厉声说道：“没有，找不到。

每个角落都挤满了。

好了，不要再来烦我了。

”说完，他便不理我而走开了。

我没料到他会这样对待我，我的尊严处于一种难以描述的状况。

我对同伴说：“他们这样对我讲话是因为他们不知道我是谁。

”可我的同伴却说:“别说这种傻话了。

即便他们知道你是谁，你觉得这能帮你在没有空座的火车上搞到座位吗？”说完他也不理我了。

这太过分了。

我找到刚才那个官员，非常有礼貌地告诉他我叫马克•吐温，我是否能——但他又一次打断了我：“我已经告诉过你不要再来烦我了。

”接着又不再理我了。

我无助地环顾四周，发现我的同伴目睹了整个经过。

我感到的耻辱无法用语言形容。

我说：“或许他没有听到我的名字。

”但我的同伴却不这么认为，他说：“他肯定清楚地听到你的名字了，只不过他不在乎罢了，就是这么回事。

”你的名字了，只不过他不在乎罢了，就是这么回事。

”我不知道接下去会发生什么，但就在这时候但就在这时候,,我注意到一个年轻的卧车行李搬运工正在跟列车员窃窃私语，并朝着我点头。

员窃窃私语，并朝着我点头。

那个列车员随即转过身，毕恭毕敬地向我走来。

“我能为您效劳吗，先生？”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗？”“我能为您效劳吗，先生？”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗？”“我能为您效劳吗，先生？”他说道，“您要在卧车上找个空位吗？”“呃，当然，”我回答说，“可我问过站台上那个人，他说每个角落都塞满了，还叫我不“呃，当然，”我回答说，“可我问过站台上那个人，他说每个角落都塞满了，还叫我不要烦他。

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of the firefighters as they battled the blaze.When the photographer arrived, he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would make it impossible for him to photograph anything from ground level.He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved, and arrangements were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport, where a plane would be waiting for him.He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the gate.He jumped in with his bag and shouted, “Let’s go!”The pilot swung the little plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air.The photographer said, “Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures.”“Why?” asked the pilot.“Because I am a photographer,”he responded, “and photographers take photographs.”The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, “Y ou mean you’re not the flight instructor?”__T__ 1. The photographer was sent to cover the fires at Y ellowstone National Park. __F__ 2. When he arrived there, the photographer did not know what to do because the smoke was so thick.__ T__ 3. The photographer went to a nearby airport to rent a plane to take photos from the air.___F__ 4. The photographer jumped into the plane and flew it over the park.__ T__ 5. The photographer acted like a flight instructor while taking photos over the park.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.In trying to explain the existence of the complicated body structures we see in living things around us, a theory of evolution (进化) has been developed.While most scientists accept this theory, many people do not. They feel it goes against what is written in the Bible (圣经).This theory is that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler. These earlier forms developed from still simpler ancestors (祖先), and so on back through millions of years to the very beginning when life was in its simplest form,merely a tiny mass of jellylike (胶状的) protoplasm (原生质).In trying to prove that evolution did take place, scientists depend on three chief “signs.”One of these is the study of fossil (化石) remains of animals and plants of past ages. Some of these fossils seem to trace the step of evolution at work. Fossil remains of primitive (原始的) men have been found that go back toa time 1,000,000 years ago. Fossils of certain crablike (似蟹的) animals go backnearly 500,000,000 years. These fossils show that fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians (两栖动物), amphibians before reptiles (爬行动物), reptiles before birds, and so on. Scientists believe this proves life has progressed from one form to another .9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questions orally.1.Why do complicated body structures exist according toscientists?Because of evolution.2. Why is the theory of evolution acceptable to most scientists?Because it proves that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler.3. Why do scientists study fossil remains?Because they can prove that evolution did take place.4. What do these fossils show?That fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians, amphibians before reptiles, reptiles before birds, and so on.5. What is the theory of evolution?A theory that proves that life has progressed from one form to another.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.It is more important to raise questions than to answer them.。

permission. he added a second part, which is the familiar “happy birthday to you”. mr. coleman?s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “happy birthday to you” had altogether replaced the sisters? original song “good morning to all”. in 1916 patty took legal action against mr. coleman. in court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1. good morning to all2.。

Grandma asked Grandpa if he had remembered nibbling her earbefore their marriage.___F___ 5. Grandpa’s false teeth dropped out with his hearty laugh.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.Can you recite the alphabet(字母表) easily and quickly? Can youwrite your name easily? Can you play scales(音阶) on a musical instrument?You would probably say that you memorized all this. But what you actually did was to learn them. And the way you learned them was by forming a habit! In other words, what was once quite difficult for you, such as reciting the alphabet orplaying scales, became easy and almost automatic when you formed the habit ofdoing it. So memory can be described as learning by means of forming habits.A human being has a tremendous(巨大的) number of such habits that enablehim to do most of the ordinary things in life, such as fastening buttons or washing hands. But suppose you read a book and then someone asked you what the book was about, or how to describe the plot(情节). Surely, your response cannot be said to come from habit.But if you examine the situation carefully, you will see that something very much like habit does play a part. For example, with ordinary habits, you learn howto put certain elements together in the proper order. Now, when you give the plot ofa book, or tell what it’s about, you are doing the same kind of thing. In fact, some psychologists say that all learning (and this also means memory) is made up of avast combination of simple habits.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer thefollowing questionsorally.1. What would people say about doing things easily hand quickly in life?They would probably say that people had memorized how to do them.2. What can memory be described as, according to the talk?It can be described as learning by means of forming habits.3. What can habits do?They enable us to do most of the ordinary things in life.4. What are you actually doing while describing the plot of book?You are making sue of something that is very much like habit.5. What question do you think the speaker is trying to answer?What is memory?10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.How important is memory to learning?。
