season.Sara Rannoe is just back from Nairobi.Now there's never a good time for heavy rainfall such as this.But for the horticulture industry,Sara,this must be a particularly bad time for heavy beating rain.Well,January should be one of the best months for growers of fruit,vegetables and flowers in Kenya,hot,dry,sunny days and peak production destined for consumers shivering in the European winter and longing for a taste of African sunshine.But in Kenya,as elsewhere,the weather is notbehaving as it should.Most of rain,often torrential,is washing away hopes of a good harvest.Flowers are reluctant to flower.And perhaps worst it,are growers'peas and French beans."In the whole of my life and I'm talking about somebody who is over 60years old,I've not experienced a season like this.The whole of that period,I've not seen rains like this in January in Kenya.'James Masengi,chairman of the Fresh Produce Export Association of Kenya,who speaks not only for his members but out of personal and bitter experience."Crops are flooded.We find it even difficult to meet the requirements of our consumers because crops have been.destroyed."Are you going to be able to keep your business orders up

Roses Limited,one of Kenya's leading rose exporters."Cold,cloudy,wet weather increases disease pressure and slows down growth.So our production is probably down a six month figure,is down 30percent.'Are you disappointing your customers?"Some.We try to keep the more important ones contented,but some are definitely disappointed.Definitely.Yeah.'Do you think you'll be able to pick up over the course of the season?"The bad weather as such will continue for a depressingly longtime according to the forecast.But if we get sunshine in the next month or so,we'll be able to catch up quite a lot."Are you making up the short fall in production by an increase in price?"Uh,no,because a lot of our sales are on the contract price.'w ww .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网Ian Maroe.And I should add that even more of Kenya's crops are in trouble.Maiz e has suffered badly.Coffee is under constant threat of disease.And although tea is growing well,getting it picked and transported is a nightmare on roads that become all but impossible in these conditions.But the greatest fear is that the rain could be followed by the opposite:drought.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。

that happens unexpectedlyB.N ow Listen to the passage again.Then briefly answer the questions questions..1.When and where did the word "board"with the meaning mentioned in the passage appear in written form?in 1837in a newspaper in Illinois 2.What is the origin of "a bearmarket"?old story/sold the skin of a bear/before caught it3.What is the origin of "a bull market"?a long connection/bulls and bears/in sports/popular years ago/England4.What is the phrase "go belly up"originally used to describe?fish/turn w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网over on their backs/die5.What is the story about the origin of the word "windfall"?England/centuries ago/poor people/banned/cutting trees/the wind blew down the tree/take for fuelTape Tapesc sc scriptript Today we tell about some American expressions that are commonly used in business.Bell sound,lighted messages appear,men and women work at computers,they talk on the telephone,at times they shout and run around.This noisy place is a stock exchange.Here experts,salespeople called brokers buy and sell shares of companies.The shares are known as stocks.People who own stock in a company own part of that company.People pay brokers to buy and sell stocks for them.If a company earns money,its stock increases in value.If the company docs not earn money,the stock decreases in value.Brokers and investors carefully watch for any changes on the big board.That is the name given to a list of stocks sold on the New York Stock Exchange.The first written use of the word with that meaning was in a newspaper in Illinois in 1837.It said,"The sales on the board were$1,700in American gold."Investors and brokers watch the big board to see if the stock market is a bull market or a bear market.In a bear market,prices go down.In a bull market,prices go up.Investors in a bear market promise to sell a stock in the future at a set price,but the investor does not w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网own the stock yet.He or she waits to buy it when the price ducks.The meaning of a bear market is thought to come from an old story about a man who sold the skin of a bear before he caught the bear.An English dictionary of the 1600s said,"To sell a bear is to sell what one has not."Word experts dispute the beginning of the Word "bull"in the stock market.But some say it came from a long connection of the two animals bulls and bears in sports that were popular years ago in England.Investors are always concerned about the possibility of a company failing.In the modern world,a company that does not earn enough profit is said to go belly up.A company that goes belly up dies like a fish.Fish turn over on their backs when they die.So they're stomach or belly up.Stock market investors do not want that to happen to a company.They want a company whose stock they own to earn more profit than expected.This would sharply increase the value of the stock.Investors are hoping for a windfall.The word "windfall"comes from England of centuries ago.There poor people were banned from cutting trees in forests owned by rich landowners.But if the wind blew down a tree,the poor person could take the wood for fuel.So a windfall is something wonderful that happensunexpectedly.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。

In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the oldermales. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a "bride price" with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a "groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. Inthe ,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent ofall marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.Part II - B1.physical appearance;2.what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance3.the high percentage of divorces.4.falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other,that makes people want to be togetherI think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or atwinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physicalattraction I think is all important.Why do you say "unfortunately"Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like thatis important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't existYes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think now, isn't it I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far asI can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or intoa relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it.,it's the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think that's the problem, because people just expect that, and it's not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship goingWell, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, andI'd call that love, and I think that's what makes arelationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the "just-right" wife for him,definition of what the "just-right"wife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,in two different atmospheres,also have their definition of the "just-right" wife,the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.

And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and...we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice.Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friend of mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said I'd like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said,"Please don't!" But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering apizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we couldorder really any pizza on the menu and we'd both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together and still are.Coralyn: We met at a party and it was fancy-dress party. Afriend of mine's twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Alice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together.Jill: I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing outside--the film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and we talked quite a bit and he said,"Let's go down the road and see that film, because that one hasn'tstarted at the Odeon." So we went down there and we've beengoing out ever since!Carole: I first met my partner when he was on a boat and I wason the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and hethrew me a rope and said,"Would you mind catching this" and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and rescue me. And that was it!Part IVBook, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admireScript:John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their waythrough Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whoseheart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himselfintrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She feltthat if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally come for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. "You will recognize me,"she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentlefirmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting tonotice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. " Going my way, sailor" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almostdirectly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, herthick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away.I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desireto follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible,her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.Unit 2 Shaping and reshaping personalityPart I-A1- h, 2-d, 3-j, 4-k, 5-b, 6-i,7-g, 8-e, 9-l, 10-f, 11-c, 12-aTape script:1.Taurus April 21- May12, is represented by a bull.2.Virgo is represented by a young woman.3.Capricorn......... by a goat.4.Pisces................by two fish.5.Aquarius............by the water-bearer.6.Leo.....................by a lion7.Cancer ...............by a crab8.Aries....................by a ram9.Gemini.................by twins10.Sagitarus............by a centaur shooing an arrow11.Scorpio................by a scorption12.Libra...................by a pair of measuring scales.Part I - BVery, not very, extremely, sort of, veryTape script:W: Hey, Kevin.

They have also studied the development of the personality, for example, how a baby learns to love. In recent studies at two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. Thescientists studied self-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These test measured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests, the boys were divided into three groups--those with high-esteem, those with middle-esteem and those with love self-esteem. The scientist continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home, at work, in school, and with their friends.From their studies, the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active. They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relations with other people. In discussions, they led. They didn't just listen. They were interested in world problems. They were creative and believed that they couldfinish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways, the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too expressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy place. However, they were not sure of their own value as people. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were different from the other two groups. They were sad most of them time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not express their ideas. They were afraid of anger. In a discussion, they listened, but they didn't talk.The scientists asked, "How do some boys develop high self-esteem" :"What is different in their lives" Some of the answers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon physical appearance, or money, or size of family. It did not dependupon how much the mother was at home. The scientists foundthat there was a closeness between the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real interest in them, and spend time with time . They listened to their sons and gave them help when the boys asked for it. They knew their sons' friends. The son knew that they were important to their parents. These parents demanded good behavior. They mad definite rules. They were strict, but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards, not by punishment. They never took away their love. On the other hand, the parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made a mistake, the parents punished him harshly. They boys believed that their parents didn't love them. There were no definite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents made rules, but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed respect for their children's ideas, even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with low self-esteem feel betterabout themselves. In this way, these children can become productive citizens too.Part III- ASad, temporary, long, suffer from mental,Anyone, ten , developing,80 percent, drugs, effective, carefullyWithout, activity, minor, walking, 30, four, improve, physical, traditional, hour, talking, doctors, Discussion, ways, problems Education, understand.Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger. I've quite a long tether when it comes to anger, which doesn't mean, I really don't believe I'm suppressing any anger at all, but it manifestitself in a very sarcastic way with me. Like if for example,if I'm buying a railway ticket or something and the guy behind the counter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me likea human being, I won't get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it'sabsolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm taken that far. But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well, my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights. I mean, ifI don not sleep well, I wake up in the morning, I am angry.I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody. If I sleep well, then everything is fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving person. Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and my anger doesnot ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon.As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here. If I'm lookingfor excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way, in a way, anger is something that I have to get out. I do not carry it around by weeping, and like crying. I believe in dumping it.Part III - B1Punch bags with pictures of their bossLaughing at it.Tape script:A: Apparently, I don't know if this is true, but in Japan, if factory workers get a bit uptight or angry, they can go outinto the gym or something which is usually attached to the factory and there are punch bags with pictures of their boss. And they can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag. And they goback to work and they feel great.B: Oh,God yes, well, that brings us on to laughing then. That made me laugh.C:Well that's one way of dealing with anger as well, I suppose, if you can actually remove yourself from the situation and just laugh at it. I think laughter is one of the most wonderful releases, and I think that it's actually been proved that you know that chemical that is released when you laugh is life-enhancing and life elongating too, you know. It promotes a healthy, a healthier being.Part IVClassifying and organizing ideasAbility, the facts or ideas, are related to one another Roman, Arabic, letters, standard form, decreasing importance, capital letters, small letters,To the left, to the right, equal, the same distance, easy to see, the ideas before and after it.No punctuationOutlining, practice.Unit 3 All can succeedPart I-A1. in your imaginationthink into the future, possibilities, a positive way, the starting point2. expect to winfulfill the vision3. opportunityrecognize, grab, a risk takerPart I - B1. organizational skills2. results oriented3. open-minded4. in the decision process5. parental and citizen6. innovation and excellence7. the develpment8.

She's taught us to be kind and loving,she taught us to share, she taught us to love our family - be very family-oriented- and I think that's really important. Speaker 2The person that I can think of within my life, well, I probably can think of several but the one that instantly came to mind when you popped this question to me was somebody who lives in Harpenden and who has overcome physical difficulty of arthritis remarkably well, and not allowed it to hold her back any more than is obviously necessary because of her physical disabilities. So I think she's made a very good - a great success of overcoming a difficulty.Speaker 3I think, Mable Davies, here who's very successful. She's a deaf lady who's now the headmistress and I think that must have been hard, so I've got a lot of respect for her, because my parents are also deaf so I know how difficult it is to work your way up having a handicap, so I've got quite a lot admiration to her.Speaker 4I think in professional terms Kenneth Branagh, the actor, has been very successful and I think the reason for this more than anything else is that he's a very good self-publicist. He isundoubtedly a very good actor. I've not seen him on stage, I've seen him on film and he's got an enormous amount of energy andas I say, he's a very good self-publicist.A2Statements:13.According to the first speaker, the most important thingthat mum taught her children is to love the family.14.When the second speaker was interviewed, the successful person that immediately came to her mind was the one with arthritis.15.The third speaker has a lot of respect for Mable Davies because she herself is a deaf.16.The fourth speaker thinks that the actor has got an enormous amount of energy as he saw him on stage and on film.Part II- B1subordinate positions, serious responsibility, threshold, broom, sweeping out, salutary branch, future partner, try his hand, sweepersobtain employment, aim high, rest content, thoughts, concerns,at the topprime condition, energy, thought, captital, on that line, the mostscattered their captial, brains, all wrong, watch that basket, take notice, fail, breaks, on his head, apt to tumble, lack of concentrationPart II- B2Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger.

Simplify At a certain stage of English listening,some students may report a kind of unpleasant or even frustrating experience.They say that while listening,they seem to understand everything that they hear,but as soon as the voice stops,all is gone!They say that they just can't remember what they heard,not to mention writing down or speaking out.What causes this problem?Is it also your complaint?Let us try to discuss the matter from two perspectives.First,knowing some difference between comprehension and production is important.When we learn a new language,we usually pass through at least three communication stages,namely,the one-way stage,the partial two-way stage and the full two-way stage.Obviously,there's the gap in between.Just as Brown and Terrell point out in their books on language learning and language teaching,"The inability to produce an item should not be taken to mean that the learner cannot comprehend it."Therefore,ifwe can comprehend what is being said to us,we have achieved the first goal.That's quite encouraging!Secondly,of course,we'll have to move on.And we must be aware of some possible traps on our way to effective listening.When we listen,w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网are we paying equal attention to every element in each utterance?Are we attempting to memoriz e and repeat and write down all the details in a passage?If so,we need to think for a while.Human memory can retain only a limited amount of information at a time.Therefore,only by learning to select and simplify can we possibly absorb what is really important and then remember what is the most essential.In fact,when we listen,we usually listen with a purpose.Although it is sometimes necessary to get detailed and specific information on the subject,it is,more often than not,quite enough for us to grasp the key words and the main points.Furthermore,in the course of listening,if we are capable of automatically turning the complicated sentence structures into simple ones,interrogative into affirmative,or passive into active,our brain will certainly do a much smarter job in helping our memory.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。

In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's familynegotiated a "bride price" with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a "groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the ,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.Part II - B1.physical appearance;2.what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance3.the high percentage of divorces.4.falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be togetherI think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don'tbother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say "unfortunately"Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think now, isn't it I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it., it's the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think that's the problem, becausepeople just expect that, and it's not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship goingWell, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and I'd call that love, and I think that's what makes a relationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the "just-right" wife for him,definition of what the "just-right"wife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,in two different atmospheres,also have their definition of the "just-right" wife,the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.

And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzlyhair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and...we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice.Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friend of mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said I'd like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said, "Please don't!" But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order really any pizza on the menu and we'd both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together and still are.Coralyn: We met at a party and it was fancy-dress party. A friend of mine's twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed asAlice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together.Jill: I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing outside--the film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and we talked quite a bit and he said,"Let's go down the road and see that film, because that one hasn't started at the Odeon." So we went down there and we've been going out ever since!Carole: I first met my partner when he was on a boat and I was on the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and he threw me a rope and said,"Would you mind catching this" and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and rescue me. And that was it!Part IVBook, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerantsmile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admireScript:John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally come forhim to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. "You will recognize me,"she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. " Going my way, sailor" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away.I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirithad truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.Unit 2 Shaping and reshaping personalityPart I-A1- h, 2-d, 3-j, 4-k, 5-b, 6-i,7-g, 8-e, 9-l, 10-f, 11-c, 12-aTape script:1.Taurus April 21- May12, is represented by a bull.2.Virgo is represented by a young woman.3.Capricorn......... by a goat.4.Pisces................by two fish.5.Aquarius............by the water-bearer.6.Leo.....................by a lion7.Cancer ...............by a crab8.Aries....................by a ram9.Gemini.................by twins10.Sagitarus............by a centaur shooing an arrow11.Scorpio................by a scorption12.Libra...................by a pair of measuring scales.Part I - BVery, not very, extremely, sort of, veryTape script:W: Hey, Kevin.

They have also studied the development of the personality, for example, how a baby learns to love. In recent studies at two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. The scientists studied self-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These test measured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests, the boys were divided into three groups--those with high-esteem, those with middle-esteem and thosewith love self-esteem. The scientist continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home, at work, in school, and with their friends.From their studies, the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active. They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relations with other people. In discussions, they led. They didn't just listen. They were interested in world problems. They were creative and believed that they could finish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways, the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too expressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy place. However, they were not sure of their own value as people. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were different from the other two groups. They were sad most of them time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not express their ideas. They were afraid of anger. In a discussion, they listened, but they didn't talk.The scientists asked, "How do some boys develop highself-esteem" :"What is different in their lives" Some of the answers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon physical appearance, or money, or size of family. It did not depend upon how much the mother was at home. The scientists found that there was a closeness between the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real interest in them, and spend time with time . They listened to their sons and gave them help when the boys asked for it. They knew their sons' friends. The son knew that they were important to their parents. These parents demanded good behavior. They mad definite rules. They were strict, but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards, not by punishment. They never took away their love. On the other hand, the parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made a mistake, the parents punished him harshly. They boys believed that their parents didn't love them. There were no definite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents made rules, but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed respect for their children's ideas, even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with lowself-esteem feel better about themselves. In this way, these children can become productive citizens too.Part III- ASad, temporary, long, suffer from mental,Anyone, ten , developing,80 percent, drugs, effective, carefullyWithout, activity, minor, walking, 30, four, improve, physical, traditional, hour, talking, doctors, Discussion, ways, problems Education, understand.Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger. I've quite a long tether when it comes to anger, which doesn't mean, I really don't believe I'm suppressing any anger at all, but it manifest itself in a verysarcastic way with me. Like if for example, if I'm buying a railway ticket or something and the guy behind the counter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me like a human being, I won't get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it's absolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm taken that far. But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well, my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights. I mean, if I don not sleep well, I wake up in the morning, I am angry. I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody. If I sleep well, then everything is fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving person. Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon. As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here. If I'm looking for excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way, in a way, anger is something that I have to get out. I do not carry it around by weeping, and like crying.I believe in dumping it.Part III - B1Punch bags with pictures of their bossLaughing at it.Tape script:A: Apparently, I don't know if this is true, but in Japan, if factory workers get a bit uptight or angry, they can go out into the gym or something which is usually attached to the factory and there are punch bags with pictures of their boss. And they can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag. And they goback to work and they feel great.B: Oh,God yes, well, that brings us on to laughing then. That made me laugh.C:Well that's one way of dealing with anger as well, I suppose, if you can actually remove yourself from the situation and just laugh at it. I think laughter is one of the most wonderful releases, and I think that it's actually been proved that you know that chemical that is released when you laugh is life-enhancing and life elongating too, you know. It promotes a healthy, a healthier being.Part IVClassifying and organizing ideasAbility, the facts or ideas, are related to one anotherRoman, Arabic, letters, standard form, decreasing importance, capital letters, small letters,To the left, to the right, equal, the same distance, easy to see, the ideas before and after it.No punctuationOutlining, practice.Unit 3 All can succeedPart I-A1. in your imaginationthink into the future, possibilities, a positive way, the starting point2. expect to winfulfill the vision3. opportunityrecognize, grab, a risk takerPart I - B1. organizational skills2. results oriented3. open-minded4. in the decision process5. parental and citizen6. innovation and excellence7. the develpment8.

She's taught us to be kind and loving, she taught us to share, she taught us to love our family - be very family-oriented- and I think that's really important.Speaker 2The person that I can think of within my life, well, I probably can think of several but the one that instantly came to mind when you popped this question to me was somebody who lives in Harpenden and who has overcome physical difficulty of arthritis remarkably well, and not allowed it to hold her back any more than is obviously necessary because of her physical disabilities. So I think she's made a very good - a great success of overcoming a difficulty. Speaker 3I think, Mable Davies, here who's very successful. She's a deaf lady who's now the headmistress and I think that must have been hard, so I've got a lot of respect for her, because my parents are also deaf so I know how difficult it is to work your way up having a handicap, so I've got quite a lot admiration to her.Speaker 4I think in professional terms Kenneth Branagh, the actor, has been very successful and I think the reason for this more than anything else is that he's a very good self-publicist. He is undoubtedly a very good actor. I've not seen him on stage, I've seen him on film and he's got an enormous amount of energy and as I say, he's a very good self-publicist.A2Statements:13.According to the first speaker, the most important thing that mum taught her children is to love the family.14.When the second speaker was interviewed, the successful person that immediately came to her mind was the one with arthritis. 15.The third speaker has a lot of respect for Mable Davies because she herself is a deaf.16.The fourth speaker thinks that the actor has got an enormous amount of energy as he saw him on stage and on film.Part II- B1subordinate positions, serious responsibility, threshold, broom, sweeping out, salutary branch, future partner, try his hand, sweepersobtain employment, aim high, rest content, thoughts, concerns, at the topprime condition, energy, thought, captital, on that line, the most scattered their captial, brains, all wrong, watch that basket, take notice, fail, breaks, on his head, apt to tumble, lack of concentrationPart II- B2Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger.

课后答案网women.Studies organized by the Office of Research on Women's Health have shown that differences between men and women can influence medical treatment.For example,researchers learned that men and women can react differently to a heart attack.Men usually have chest pain.But women may not.Instead,they may suffer pain in the abdomen.They also may have stomach sickness and feel very tired.Women may not recogniz e that they are having a heart attack.Research also has shown that the brains of men and women use the chemical serotonin differently.Serotonin helps prevent the condition of continued severe sadness called depression.Men's brains use serotonin much more effectively than women's brains do.This may help explain why women suffer depression two or three times more often than men do.Other research shows that alcohol affects men and women differently.Men and women in one experiment drank the same amount of alcoholic drinks.Then researchers measured their blood for alcohol levels.The women had higher levels of alcohol in their blood.Women produce less of a substance called gastric alcohol dehydrogenase.This causes them to break down alcohol more slowly than men.Part

wash their hands after using public restrooms..American men are less likely than women to wash their hands after using public restroom.T h e importance of hand washing:reducing the spread of infectious diseasesC o mm mmoo n infections spread by hand:colds,influenz a,throat and ear infections,food poisoning cholera,hepatitis Measures taken to get getmore more people to wash hands:launching a public information campaignT h e correct method of hand washing:washing with soap and hot water for at least 15seconds Tape Tape--script.Health experts say washing your hands reduces the spread of viruses and other organisms that cause disease..This advice may soundsimple.However experts say a lot of people do not follow it.A recent study found that many Americans fail to wash their hands after using public toilets.More than 95percent of Americans questioned said they always wash their hands after using public restrooms.However,w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网the study found that only 67percent of them actually do so.The study also found that American men are less likely than women to wash their hands after using a public restroom.The American Society for Microbiology announced the findings.Judy Daly works for the group.She admits that hand washing may seem an unusual subject to study.But she says hand washing is a very serious issue.Experts say hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.Infections can spread by touching surfaces that have harmful organisms on them.Shaking hands with another person also can spread infection.Harmful bacteria may enter your body if you touch your mouth,nose or eyes.Among the most common infections spread by hand are colds,influenz a,and throat and ear infections.In addition,millions of food poisoning cases each year are blamed on people who prepare food who do not wash their hands.More serious diseases like cholera and hepatitis are spread this way,too.Many patients in hospitals also get infections.Some die from them.The spread of infections often is blamed on health workers who do notwash their hands after treating patients.The American Society of Microbiology has launched a public information campaign to get more people to wash their hands.Experts say w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网following the correct method is important.You should wash your hands with soap and hot water for at least fifteen seconds.Part IIIHow to deal with depression and angerA.TapescriptWhen most people are sad,they know the feeling is only temporary.But there are large numbers of people who stay sad for a long time.These people suffer from the common mental sickness known as depression.Depression can affect anyone.Researchers say one out of ten persons in the world has the chance of developing a major depression at some time.About 80percent of the depressed patients can be helped with one of several drugs that have all been found effective in treating depression.Doctors say,however,the drugs must be used very carefully.Depression also can be treated without drugs.Some doctors say that moderate activity four or five times a week can help treat minor depression.For example,running or walking rapidly for 30minutes fourtimes a week can improve mental as well as physical health.The traditional treatment for depression known as psycho-therapy calls for depressed people to spend an hour or more each week talking about their condition with doctors trained to treat mental problems.Discussion is w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网supposed to help depressed people discover new ways of thinking and dealing with problems.Public education is needed to help people better understand depression.B1.Tapescript.Speaker 1I actually...I,I very rarely get angry,erm,I've quite a long tether when it comes to anger,erm,which doesn't mean,I really don't believe I'm suppressing any anger at all,er,but,it manifests itself in a very sarcastic way with me.Like if for example,I'm I’m,if I'm buying a ...railway ticket or something and the ....the guy behind the counter is very surly and er,you know refuses to treat me,er like a human being,I won't be,get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks.(oh...yes,one of those,yes ...)(laughter)And er that for me,that for me serves its purpose.I do feel er very ...!feel very cleansed after a situation like that.Oh,I,of course I do sometimes,if it's absolutely necessary I do get very angry,if I'm taken that far.But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights.(laughter)I mean,if I do not sleep well,I wake up the morning,I am angry.I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody.If I sleep well,then everything's fine.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网I'm a joyous,warm,loving person.Sleepless nights,I'm full of anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon.As weak as that may sound,that's how I work.(mm)And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here.(laughter)If I'm looking for excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way,so,er ...in a way,anger is something that I have to get out.I do not carry it around by weeping,and like crying.I believe in dumping it.B2.Tape Tape--script:A:Apparently,in,er ...I don't know if this is true,but in Japan,er,if factory workers er get a bit uptight or angry,they can go out into er,the gym or something which is usually attached to the factory and there are punch bags there with pictures of their boss.(laughter)And they can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag.(great...oh right)And they go back to work and they feel great.B.Oh God yes,well,that brings us on to laughing then.(laughter)That made me laugh.A.Well that's one way of dealing with anger as well,I suppose,if you can actually remove yourself from the situation and just laugh at it.Um,Ithink laughter is,is again,one of the most wonderful releases,and,and,er I mean I think that it's actually been proved that you know the chemical that is released when you laugh is,is is life-enhancing and life,er elongating too,you know.(yeah)It promotes a healthy,a healthier being.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网B.And it heals wounds...Part IV Expressions that spring from a hand1.to come hat in hand:t o beg2.a handout:something you ask for/not your own/act of charity3.high-handed:making you for beg for something /rightfully yours4.to give with a glad and willing hand:not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing /give freely without thinking about it too much5.hand over fist:quicklyits origin:the sea/climbed ropes/raised sails/one hand on top of the other/instead of/hand by hand/hand over hand 6.hand in glove/hand and glove (300years ago):close/closely 7.the handwriting on the wall:our time is about up/a warning its origin:a mysterious hand/four strange words/wall/palace room/face disaster/came true/King Belshazzar/defeated and killed in battle Tapescript:"Words and their stories,"a program about the spoken word,about the English language as Americans speak it.Today we have the expressions "to come 'hat in hand,""hand overfist"and other phrases that spring from a hand.The expression "to come hat in hand"means to beg.You ask for something you cannot claim as your own.It is a handout.You ask for it as an act of charity.It is something which proud independent people will not w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网do if they can help it.There are some people,on the other hand,who'll make you beg even for something that is rightfully yours.Such people are called "highhanded."Just the opposite is the person who gives "with a glad and willing hand."There is an old saying to describe such a person.He or she does not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.This person gives freely without thinking about it too much.The expression "hand over fist"means quickly.People who are making money hand over fist are getting rich so fast that they cannot believe it themselves.This expression comes from the sea.Sailors climbed the ropes or raised the boat sails by quickly putting one hand on top of the other.Generally,anything you pulled toward you was done hand by hand.Then one of the hands became a fist.And instead of "hand by hand"or "hand over hand,'it became "hand over fist".Nothing,of course,can be closer than a hand inside a glove.That is just what the expression "hand in glove"means.Two or more people working very closely together in any joint effort,good or bad,are working hand in glove.About 300years ago,the expression was "hand and glove."Later to describe an even closer relationship,the hand was put inside the glove and it became "hand in glove.'But now wemust close our program.The "handwriting on the wall,"as the expression goes,tells us that our time is about up.The expression "handwriting on the wall"is a warning.It has passed into many languages from the Christian holy book --the Bible.As the Bible tells the story,a mysterious hand w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网suddenly appeared out of nowhere before King Belshazzar while he was busy feasting and drinking.The hand wrote four strange words on the wall of the palace room.Only the prophet Daniel understood the meaning of the words.He told the king that the words on the wall meant that he faced disaster.And the words soon came true.King Belshazzar was defeated and killed in battle.And with that,we're in a great hurry to get moving.w w w .k h d a

learners,people who learn best by reading or looking at pictures4.tactile learners:people who learn best by touching and doing things Tapescript:Different people have different ways of learning.We call this your "learning style,"and it's based on your senses.To learn,you need to use your different senses hearing,seeing,touching,etc.,to bring information to your brain.Now,most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening.They are called hearing learners.And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures.They are called visual learners.And some learn best by touching and doing things.They are called tactile learners.Now,scientists don't know why people use one sense more than the others.Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.C.Now Listen to another talk about language learning styles.Focus on the four basic learner "types."Match Column A,the learner types,with Column B,ways of teaming languages.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网T apescript:All right,class.Today we're going to be looking at different language learning styles.You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages,none of which is necessarily better than the others.Researchers have identified four basic learner "types"--the communicative learner,the analytical learner,the authority-oriented learner and the concrete municative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers.At home,they 'like to learn by watching TV and videos.They like to learn new words by hearing them.In class,they like to learn by having conversations.Now,concrete learners like to learn by playing games,by looking at pictures and videos in class,by talking in pairs,and by listening to cassettes at home and school.Now,authority-oriented learners,on the other hand,like the teacher to explain everything.They like to write everything down in their notebook,and they like to have a textbook.They like to learn new words by seeing them.And finally,we have analytical learners.These learners like to learn by studying grammar.At home,they like to learn by studying English books,and they like to study by themselves.They like to find their own mistakes.Now,of course,it's unusual for a person to be exclusively one "type"rather than another.Most of us are mixtures of styles.What type of learner do you think you are?Part II What Whatmakes makes a good or bad student?w ww .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网A.B.A good studentNot afraid to make mistakesinterested in the mistakes he makes and having them corrected

them.A :So he's not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?B :No,no,no.He,he plays with the language.A bad student,on the other hand,will perhaps say "OK I've done this chapter I know

to make it more difficult to learn.(T)2.According to the speaker,some words from the French have more prestige than those from the Old English although they mean the same thing.(F)3.Canadian English is close to American English in some words and idioms.But the spelling and pronunciation reflect British usage.Questions for discussion:1.Do you agree that English will eventually be the world language?If not,which language do you think will be?2.From your experience,what is particularly difficult to learn aboutEnglish?Tapescript:I --Interviewer P --ProfessorI:And now we have an interview with Professor J.T.Lingo,Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University,who is here to talk to us about the w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网growing business of teaching English.Good morning,Professor Lingo.P.Good morning.I:Professor,I understand that teaching English is becoming "big business"all around the world.P :It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I :Why is that?P:With the move toward a global economy,English has become the most widely used language in the world.It is the language of business,aviation,science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I .And do people find English an easy language to learn?P :Well,every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn.English is such a hodgepodge of different languages --it's essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French,and technical words stem from Latin and Greek.This feature makes English fairly adaptable --which is a good thing for a world language --but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I:English spelling baffles me,too.P :Yes,well,anyway,English also has the largest vocabulary.Often there are words for the same thing,one that is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French --like "buy"which is Anglo Saxon and "purchase"which is from the French.The French word often has more prestige.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网I :Anglo-Saxon?P :That's the word for Old English.The Norman Conquest in 1066brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the language it is today.I:I see.Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P .Well,the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I:Informal English?P :As with any language,there are different varieties slang,colloquial,formal,written,as well as the different dialects --British,American and Canadian English.I .And how is Canadian English different from American and British?Pi Well,Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom.Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage,however.We wouldn't use the British term "lorry"for truck,but we have kept the "o-u-r'spellings in words such as "honour"and "colour."I .This has been very interesting,professor.I'm afraid we're out of time.It has been a pleasure talking to you.P :Thank you.I :We have been talking to Professor Lingo of Chimo University.w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网。

English has some particular characteristics,such as its style,its structure,the choice of words,and the logical order of presentation,etc.The standardized narrative procedure in news reporting is often called the "inverted pyramid.'That is to say,the most important information is usually included in the news lead.And a news lead,in a sense,is also a condensed form of a complete news story.Each succeeding sentence becomes less significant,providing further information on the "who,""what,""where,""when"or "how."If we want to sum up a certain news item,we can take words from either inside or outside the news stories.We can say,for example,"this news item is about somebody's view on something,'or "it's about the relationship between country A and country B.'Other words such as w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网comments,remarks,attitudes,analysis canalso be very useful.Apart from current news,radio reports on some breakthroughs in science and technology also help update our knowledge about the world.However,vocabulary has proved to be a problem that often hinders our understanding of the new information.Therefore,in order to enhance our ability in listening,words that frequently appear in some popular science programs should be carefully studied.Besides,if we have a close examination of the experiment reports,we may find that they are often divided into different parts or paragraphs on the "subjects,"the "test or experiment procedures,"the "observations,"the "findings or results''and so on.This kind of knowledge also helps us in following the latest developments in science.w w w

When you walk into the compound, the first building on your right is the Out-Patient Department (2), the first on your left is the Emergency Department (1). If you want to go to the Physicians Department, take the first turn on the left and walk straight ahead. You’ll see a fountain spring. Pass by it and walk in the same direction, you’ll see the Physician Department (5). If you want to get your blood tested in the Laboratory, walk straight along the Main Road until you reach a roundabout. Turn left from the roundabout and walk a few minutes. Take the right turn and the first building coming into your sight is the Laboratory (8). Another building on the X-ray Department (9). If you turn left from the roundabout and walk ahead until you reach the end of the road, you will see the Eye, Ear, and Throat Department(6). The building next to it to the north is the Dental Department (7). If you want to visit your relatives or friends who are hospitalized, you got the Ward, which is not difficult to find. Take the right turnfrom the roundabout and a small lake will come into your view. The winding road along the lake will lead you to the Ward (11).

When one person gains weight, close friends often gain weight, too. The study was published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study showed that when a person becomes severely overweight, there is a 57% increasedchance that one of their friends will be, too. A sister or brother of the overweight person has a 40% increased chance of becoming fat. The increased risk for a wife or husband is a little less than that.2. in the United States, experts estimate that up to 4% of adults and up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30,000 cases of anaphylaxis, a sever reaction that requires immediate treatment. It can result in trouble breathing and in some cases death. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases say 100 to 200 people die. It says most of the reactions resulted from peanuts and tree nuts such as walnuts.3. floods, storms and other natural events kill thousands of people every year. So does extreme heat. Experts say heat may be nature’s deadliest killer. Recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing more than 100 people in India. Daytime temperatures rose to more than 45 degrees Celsius in some areas. On June eleventh, the temperature in one desert town hit 51 degrees. Experts say the total heat of a hot day or several days can affect health. Several hot days are considered a heat wave. Experts say heatwaves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much form the highest daytime temperature. This causes great stress on the human body.4. medical experts say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They are advising people to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. One study earlier this year found that persons who sleep for a few minutes during the day were less likely to die of heart disease. The study followed more than 23,000 Greek adults for about 6 years. Adults s who rested for half an hour at least three times a week had a 37% lower risk of dying form heart disease than those who did not nap.Part IIB67% of Americans questionedWash their hands after using a public restroomReducing the spread of infectious diseasesColds, influenza, throat and ear infections, food poisoning, cholera, hepatitisA public information campaignSoap and hot water for at least 15 seconds.听力原文:Health experts say washing your hands reduces the spread of viruses and other organisms that cause disease. This advice may sound simple. However experts say a lot of people do not follow it.A recent study found that many Americans fail to wash their hands after using public toilets. More than 95% of Americans questioned said they always wash their hands after using public restrooms. However, the study found that only 67% o f them actually do so. The study also found that American men are less likely than women to wash their hands after suing a public restroom.The American Society for Microbiology announced the findings. Judy Daly works for the group. She admits thathand washing may seem an unusual subject to study. But she says hand washing is a very serious issue. Experts say hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.Infections can spread by touching surfaces that have harmful organisms on them. Shaking hands with another person also can spread infection. Harmful bacteria may enter your body if you touch your mouth, nose or eyes. Among the most common infections spread by hand are colds, influenza, and throat and ear infections. In addition, millions of food poisoning cases each year are blamed on people who prepare food who do not wash their hands. More serious diseases like cholera and hepatitis are spread this way, too.Many patients in hospitals also get infections. Some die from them. The spread of infections often is blamed on health workers who do not wash their hands after treating patients.The American Society of Microbiology has launched a public information campaign to get more people to wash their hands. Experts say following the correct method is important. You should wash your hands with soap and hotwater for at least 15 seconds.ModificationPart IIIA1.the lung, breast, liver, mouth2.a. smokingb. alcohol usee. physical inactivityg. indoor smokeh. injectionsI unsafe sex.B1.2.5 million / 9 factors that people can control3.1/3 / unhealthy lifestyle and environmental exposures5. twice6. preventable cancers.1.l ifestyle and environmental modification2.r isk factor reduction听力原文U. S. , Australasian, and New Zealand scientists report in the journal Lancet that nine factors that people and societies can control cause nearly 2.5 million cancer cases each year. That is about 1/3 of the seven million annual global total.These include caners of the lung, breast, bladder, cervix, liver, pancreas, mouth and digestive tract.Leading the list of causes is smoking, which the researchers say is responsible for 20% of preventable cancers. Alcohols use and low consumption of fruits andvegetable cause another 5% each. Also significant are overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, urban air pollution, indoor smoke from household cooking, contaminated injections in health clinics, and unsafe sex. One of the study’s co-authors, Harvard University public health researcher Majid Ezzati, says the statistics reflect data on cancer deaths in 2001. He expects an increase in the proportion of death from these risk factors.“The estimates that we have are looking at what happens today as a result of past exposure. So one-third of cancer deaths today would have been avoided had these lifestyle and environmental exposures not been present. If we were to speculate about the future, we could actually say morethan one in every three cancer deaths could be avoided because things such as smoking actually have been going up in many countries in the world, so we actually haven’t seen the full effects of it yet. ”The new study finds that developing countries had more than twice as many preventable cancer deaths as rich nations. Among the developing regions, Eastern Europe and Central Asia had the highest proportion of cancer deaths attributable to the nine risk factors --- 39 percent compared to the global average of 35 percent. Furthermore, Mr. Ezzati says twice as many men as women died from such cancers.Mr. Ezzati and his colleagues say that the best option for reducing the increasing global burden of cancer is through lifestyle and environmental modifications because medical science is not close to controlling it. Despite the drive to seek cancer cures, they point out that advancesin treatment have not been as effective as for other chronic diseases, and effective screening methods are available for only a few cancers.“There is a huge amount of resources going in to the war on cancer and to biomedical technologies. It is certainly not matched by equivalent research and application of risk factor reduction. So I think should be a reminder of how large the role of prevention can be for reducing cancer deaths.”Part D1.42 doctors, dieticians, pharmacists2.24 hours a day, seven days a week 3.Clearing house4.Free1.board-certified doctors2.24 hours a day, sevendays a week3.practice medicine4.$50 per visitIs there a doctor in the house?

was kicked off recently with a party in San Francisco's Washington Square Park thrown by a coalition of seven urban forestry groups.The focus of the party was the planting of a single tree,the first of 20million to be planted in 40w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网Californian cities over the next decade.The tree planting campaign is an attempt to deflate what's being called the Greenhouse Effect.Scientists believe that the earth is getting warmer because of an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air.Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air.Martin Rosen is the director of the Trust for Public Land,the organization that is coordinating the state-wide tree planting effort."Time is not neutral.We are so rapidly depleting the atmosphere,we are so rapidly changing the climate,that unless we start now the situation may well become irreversible."Some movie stars were on hand for the tree planting ceremony.Actor Peter Cyote served as the master of ceremonies."Unless the environmental movement comes into everybody's life,in real simple activities,it's not going to work.Planting a tree is real simple.So I want to participate in something that is really accessible to the citiz en,just to everyday people,to children.So that as citiz ens we can do a lot.'After Peter Cyote introduced a few speakers and a couple of songs were sung the ceremony moved over to a corner of the park where a group of youngsters planted a Copper Beech tree.Isobel Wade is the state coordinator for Campaign California Re-leaf.Wade says the tree plantings are important because they will help clean up the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,improve the environment and make neighborhoods more attractive,but Isobel Wade cautions it isn't w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网enough,"It's one step

cases,recycling could be haz ardous to the environment ifspecial precautions are not taken because chemical waste is sometimes produced as a result.Tapescript:We hear it a lot in the news these days:"Recycle newspapers and save a tree.Collect bottles and cans sothey can be reused in the manufacturing of new products.'Let's use paper as an example.The first step is to raise public awareness about the recycling process,explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled,and provide ways on how to properly dispose of.them.Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those,like waxed paper,carbon paper,plastic laminated material such as fast food wrappers,that can't be recycled very easily.Then,a system of collecting these sorted materials needs to be w w w .k h d a w .c o m 课后答案网established.Sometimes we become complacent when it comes to recycling,but when you speak in terms of actual facts and figures that everyone can understand,people become more cognizant of the problem.I remember reading one time that the energy saved from one recycled can can provide enough power to operate the television for three hours.Give the public information they can grasp,and then you will increase your chances of gaining followers.Second,technological progress has been made on many fronts.One breakthrough has been the development of a new manufacturing process to help remove ink from paper in more energy efficient and environmentally safe methods.Recycling paper materials can be expensive in both monetary and environmental terms.The difficulty in removing print from paper,the amount of energy expended during the process,and caustic waste that is sometimes produced are costs that companies incur that are then passed on to the consumer.The final key is to increase demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled.This problem has appeared in various regions of the world where the technology to process the used materialslags far behind the amount being collected for recycling.Recycling is a crucial link protecting our planet.The three keys mentioned are important ways to achieve this end.w w

In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a "bride price"with the woman's family; the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a "groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening;for intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward.Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion; this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. Inculture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.Part II - B1.physical appearance;2.what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance3.the high percentage of divorces.4.falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyScript:What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together?I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important.Why do you say "unfortunately"?Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important.You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later.In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist?Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it., it's the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think that's the problem, because people just expect that, and it's not like that.So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship going?Well, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love withsomebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other.I think all that needs time to grow, and I'd call that love, and I think that's what makes a relationship last.Part II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the "just-right" wife for him,definition of what the "just-right"wife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,in two different atmospheres,also have their definition of the "just-right" wife,the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.

And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and...we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice.Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friendof mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said I'd like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said, "Please don't!" But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order really any pizza on the menu and we'd both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together and still are.Coralyn: We met at a party and it was fancy-dress party. A friend of mine's twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Alice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together.Jill: I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing outside--the film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and we talked quite a bit and he said,"Let's go down the road and see that film, becausethat one hasn't started at the Odeon." So we went down there and we've been going out ever since!Carole: I first met my partner when he was on a boat and I was on the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and he threw me a rope and said,"Would you mind catching this?" and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and rescue me. And that was it!Part IVBook, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admireScript:John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previousowner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt thatif he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally come for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00p.m. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. "You will recognize me,"she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. " Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw HolllisMaynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away.I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.Unit 2 Shaping and reshaping personalityPart I-A1- h, 2-d, 3-j, 4-k, 5-b, 6-i,7-g, 8-e, 9-l, 10-f, 11-c, 12-aTape script:1.Taurus April 21- May12, is represented by a bull.2.Virgo is represented by a young woman.3.Capricorn......... by a goat.4.Pisces................by two fish.5.Aquarius............by the water-bearer.6.Leo.....................by a lion7.Cancer ...............by a crab8.Aries....................by a ram9.Gemini.................by twins10.Sagitarus............by a centaur shooing an arrow11.Scorpio................by a scorption12.Libra...................by a pair of measuring scales.Part I - BVery, not very, extremely, sort of, veryTape script:W: Hey, Kevin.

They have also studied the development of the personality, for example, how a baby learns to love. In recent studies at two universities in the United States, scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself, his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. The scientists studiedself-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These test measured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests, the boys were divided into three groups--those with high-esteem, those with middle-esteem and those with love self-esteem. The scientist continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home, at work, in school, and with their friends.From their studies, the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active. They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relations with other people. In discussions, they led. They didn't just listen. They were interested in world problems. They were creative and believed that they could finish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways, the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too expressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy place. However, they were not sure of their own value as people. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were different from the other two groups. They were sad most of them time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not express their ideas. They were afraid of anger. In a discussion, they listened, but they didn't talk.The scientists asked, "How do some boys develop high self-esteem?" :"What is different in their lives?" Some of the answers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon physical appearance, or money, or size of family. It did not depend upon how much the mother was at home. The scientists found that there was a closeness between the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real interest in them, and spend time with time . They listened to their sons and gave them help when the boys asked for it. They knew their sons' friends. The son knew that they were important to their parents. These parents demanded good behavior. They mad definite rules. They were strict, but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards, not by punishment. They never took away their love. On the other hand, the parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made a mistake, the parents punished him harshly. They boys believed that their parents didn't love them. There were no definite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents made rules, but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed respect for their children's ideas, even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with low self-esteemfeel better about themselves. In this way, these children can become productive citizens too.Part III- ASad, temporary, long, suffer from mental,Anyone, ten , developing,80 percent, drugs, effective, carefullyWithout, activity, minor, walking, 30, four, improve, physical, traditional, hour, talking, doctors, Discussion, ways, problems Education, understand.Part III - B1Joyous, warm, lovingManifest anger vent anger on somebodyDump angerTape scriptSpeaker 1I actually very rarely get anger. I've quite a long tether when it comes to anger, which doesn't mean, I really don't believe I'm suppressing any anger at all, but it manifest itself in a very sarcastic way with me. Likeif for example, if I'm buying a railway ticket or something and the guy behind the counter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me like a human being, I won't get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it's absolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm taken that far. But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well, my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights. I mean, if I don not sleep well, I wake up in the morning, I am angry. I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody. If I sleep well, then everything is fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving person. Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon. As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here. If I'm looking for excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way, in a way, anger is something that I have to get out. I do not carry it around by weeping, and like crying. I believe in dumping it.Part III - B1Punch bags with pictures of their bossLaughing at it.Tape script:A: Apparently, I don't know if this is true, but in Japan, if factory workers get a bit uptight or angry, they can go out into the gym or something which is usually attached to the factory and there are punch bags with pictures of their boss. And they can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag. And they goback to work and they feel great.B: Oh,God yes, well, that brings us on to laughing then. That made me laugh.C:Well that's one way of dealing with anger as well, I suppose, if you can actually remove yourself from the situation and just laugh at it. I think laughter is one of the most wonderful releases, and I think that it's actually been proved that you know that chemical that is released when you laugh is life-enhancing and life elongating too, you know. It promotes a healthy, a healthier being.Part IVClassifying and organizing ideasAbility, the facts or ideas, are related to one anotherRoman, Arabic, letters, standard form, decreasing importance, capitalletters, small letters,To the left, to the right, equal, the same distance, easy to see, the ideas before and after it.No punctuationOutlining, practice.Unit 3 All can succeedPart I-A1. in your imaginationthink into the future, possibilities, a positive way, the starting point2. expect to winfulfill the vision3. opportunityrecognize, grab, a risk takerPart I - B1. organizational skills2. results oriented3. open-minded4. in the decision process5. parental and citizen6. innovation and excellence7. the develpment8.

She's taught us to be kind and loving, she taught us to share, she taught us to love our family - be very family-oriented- and I think that's really important.Speaker 2The person that I can think of within my life, well, I probably can think of several but the one that instantly came to mind when you popped this question to me was somebody who lives in Harpenden and who has overcome physical difficulty of arthritis remarkably well, and not allowed it tohold her back any more than is obviously necessary because of her physical disabilities. So I think she's made a very good - a great success of overcoming a difficulty.Speaker 3I think, Mable Davies, here who's very successful. She's a deaf lady who's now the headmistress and I think that must have been hard, so I've got a lot of respect for her, because my parents are also deaf so I know how difficult it is to work your way up having a handicap, so I've got quite a lot admiration to her.Speaker 4I think in professional terms Kenneth Branagh, the actor, has been very successful and I think the reason for this more than anything else is that he's a very good self-publicist. He is undoubtedly a very good actor.

Like if for example, if I'm buying a railway ticket or something and the guy behind the counter is very surly and you now refuses to treat me like a human being, I won't get angry with him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try to make very very clever remarks. And that for me severs its purpose. I do feel cleansed after a situation like that. Of course I do sometimes, if it's absolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm taken that far. But I certainly don't suppress any anger.Speaker 2Well, my anger is tied up with my sleepless nights. I mean, if I don not sleep well, I wake up in the morning, I am angry. I use any excuse to vent my anger on anybody. If I sleep well, then everything is fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving person. Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or somebody to vent it upon. As weak as that may sound, that's how I work. And it's terrible sort of admission to make to everybody here. If I'm looking for excuses for having woken up in a particularly bad way, in a way, anger is something。

Festival、Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees、The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar、It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c、1600 BC-c、1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one、Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar monthand will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year、Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days、The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year、Many customs acpany the Spring Festival、Some are still followed today, but others have weakened、On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko、The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve、At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god、Now however, most families make delicious food to

for the New Year、Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts、What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing、Before the New Year es, the people pletely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as wellas their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils、Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity、All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper、The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year、Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and wele peace and abundance、The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must、The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu es", both being pronounced as "fudaole、" What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door、Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall、People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve、At that time, all family members eat dinner together、The meal is more luxurious than usual、Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness、After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV、In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad、According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in、Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up、First they extend greetings to their parents、Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper、People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new"、Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China、So people eat them and wish for money and treasure、Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another、" The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely、Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival、People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits、However, such an activity was pletely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration、As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room、The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes、A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days、The Spring Festival then es to an end when the Lantern Festival is

Major viewpoints Supporting ideas and facts Statement Numbers: 1,4,7Statement Numbers: 2,3,4,61-4 thinking ahead of the speaker - Anticipation HelpsListening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In his book Principles and Implications of cognitive Psychology, Nasser defines listening as a "temporally extended activity" in which the listener "continuously develops more or less specific readiness for what will come next." In other words, an effective listener is constantly setting up hypothesis in his mind, and also, he is constantly testing his hypothesis by matching it with what he has heard in reality. If he hears what he has expected, he receives the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he fails to get the message. The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme of the message. It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the setting. Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally a lot easier for us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to have a big role to play in enhancing listening comprehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, read some related materials and does some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully orientated for the forthcoming talks or lectures, we are moa likely to become effective listeners. Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker. The ability to anticipate helps us in logical and intelligent guesswork. It does not only enable us a to know generally what a person is going to talk about in a certain situation, but also, interestingly enough, sometimes even exactly what a person' s next utterance is going to be in a discussion?2-1A. 1.

Eighty percent of all information in the world's computers is in English.7. Somalia is the only African country in which the entire population speaks the same language, Somali.8.

They say that while listening, they seem to understand everything that they hear, but as soon as the voice stops, all is gone! They say that they just can't remember what they heard, not to mention writing down or speaking out. What causes this problem? Is it also your complaint? Let us try to discuss the matter from two perspectives.First, knowing some difference between comprehension and production is important. When we learn a new language, we usually pass through at least three communication stages, namely, the one-way stage, the partial two-way stage and the full two-way stage. Obviously, there's the gap in between. Just as Brown and Terrell point out in their books on language learning and language teaching, "The in-ability to produce an item should not be taken to mean that the learner cannot comprehend it." Therefore, if we can comprehend what is being said to us, we have achieved the first goal. That's quite encouraging! Secondly, of course, we'll have to move on. And we must be aware of some possible traps on our way to effective listening. When we listen, are we paying equal attention to every element in each utterance? Are we attempting to memorize and repeat and write down all the details in a passage? If so, we need to think for a while. Human memory can retain only a limited amount of information at a time. Therefore, only by learning to select and simplify can we possibly absorb what is really important and then remember what is the most essential. In fact, when we listen, we usually listen with a purpose. Although it is sometimes necessary to get detailed and specific information on the subject, it is, more often than not, quite enough for us to grasp the key words and the main points. Furthermore, in the course of listening, if we are capable of automatically turning the complicated sentences structures into simple ones, interrogative into affirmative, or passive into active, our brain will certainly do a much smarter job in helping our memory.4-1No one sets out in life to fail. The reality is that many do. Why do some prosper while others struggle just to exist? There is no simple answer to that question but here are a few thoughts that might shed some light onto this very complex issue.1. The future is in your imaginationHumans are blessed with the ability to think into the future. We can use our imagination to see possibilities. Use this unique gift in a positive way. Build a vision of what you want to be, have or do. It is the starting point of all successful activities.2. To win, you must expect to win。
