Script of Listen and Respond:SmileI am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.” The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello”. So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning. Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. The second man was mentally retarded. The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.” Obviously, it was all they could afford. To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy. All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting.I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He look ed up at me and said, “Thank you.” I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.” I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment.I returned to college, with this story in hand. I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class. The whole class was touched. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn — UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.课文参考译文陌生人的善意迈克〃麦金太尔1.一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。

I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Part CHow to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I'm trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about the new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I've understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ADialogue 1:—It's a really wonderful evening. Thank you very much for inviting us.—I'm glad you enjoyed it.—Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.—Sounds nice.Dialogue 2:—Great party, isn't it?—Yeah, really.—You look familiar to me. Have we met before?—I'm afraid not.Dialogue 3:—I'm afraid I have to go now.—So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.—Me too.Dialogue 4:—Excuse me, could you tell me the time?—It's half past 5 by my watch.—Thank you very much.—You're welcome.Dialogue 5:—Is this seat taken?—Oh, let me move my stuff.—Aren't you Jack Brown?

Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that's the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather -- It sure is cold today, isn't it?News -- Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, "Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it." Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?"At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. "Well, I really need to be going", or "It was nice talking to you" are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Part CHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors.

What would the student probably do right after the conversation?Part CWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Statements:1. College professors actually lead a busy life, while teaching.2. Usually professors spend about sixty to eighty hours a week in the classroom.3. Professors spend part of their time in reading and studying, because they always feel their knowledge needs to be improved and updated.4. College professors have to do all kinds of things besides their usual load of teaching.5. In order to remain as professors, they may spend their time in writing books and articles.6. Professors are always working when not in the classroom or in the office.7. Professors have to accept their busy schedule willingly, if they want to be qualified for their jobs.Unit 4Part ADialogue 1:(At a party)A: Great party, isn't it?B: Yeah, super.

The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped there before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selling the defective goods right away.The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladies' purchases and to refund half the price.

Suddenly, you trip and spill your coffee all over yourself. Embarrassing, right? But don't worry,everyone has unpleasant experiences like this sometimes. The key is to handle them with grace. Instead of panicking or feeling ashamed, try to stay calm and remember that accidents happen to everyone. Clean yourself up, laugh it off, and move on. People around you will admire your composure.Passage 2Feeling stressed out? Taking a walk outdoors may be just what you need. According to a recent study, spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. When you're surrounded by nature, your brain enters a state of relaxation, allowing you to focus better and be more creative.

I'm a freshman at PekingUniversity and I'm majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Part CHow to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I'm trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about the new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I've understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ADialogue 1:—It's a really wonderful evening. Thank you very much for inviting us.—I'm glad you enjoyed it.—Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.—Sounds nice.Dialogue 2:—Great party, isn't it?—Yeah, really.—You look familiar to me. Have we met before?—I'm afraid not.Dialogue 3:—I'm afraid I have to go now.—So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.—Me too.Dialogue 4:—Excuse me, could you tell me the time?—It's half past 5 by my watch.—Thank you very much.—You're welcome.Dialogue 5:—Is this seat taken?—Oh, let me move my stuff.—Aren't you Jack Brown? I'm Bill, Bill Stone.—Oh, hello, Bill. Fancy meeting you here!Dialogue 6:—Hi, Jack. So good to see you.—Oh, hi, Andy. It's been quite a while since we saw each other last. How're things with you?—Just fine. What've you been doing these years?—Well, I've been studying for my PhD degree here at the university.—That's wonderful.Statement 1:May I introduce Miss Jones to you?Statement 2:John Davis was born in California in 1930.Statement 3:I can't agree with you more.Statement 4:My birthday is on June 20th.Statement 5:Paul, is your sister married?Statement 6:Look, here comes Mr. Black, our sales manager.Statement 7:Bob isn't in the library right now.Statement 8:Mr. Taylor is said to be leaving for South Africa soon.Statement 9:Pass me the beer, please.Statement 10:I was wondering if you could help Anna with her music lessons.Part BHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that's the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather -- It sure is cold today, isn't it?News -- Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, "Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it." Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?"At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. "Well, I really need to be going", or "It was nice talking to you" are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Part CHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors.

What would the student probably do right after the conversation?Part CWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Statements:1. College professors actually lead a busy life, while teaching.2. Usually professors spend about sixty to eighty hours a week in the classroom.3. Professors spend part of their time in reading and studying, because they always feel their knowledge needs to be improved and updated.4. College professors have to do all kinds of things besides their usual load of teaching.5. In order to remain as professors, they may spend their time in writing books and articles.6. Professors are always working when not in the classroom or in the office.7. Professors have to accept their busy schedule willingly, if they want to be qualified for their jobs.Unit 4Part ADialogue 1:(At a party)A: Great party, isn't it?B: Yeah, super.

And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel.

Listen to it and complete the following sentences according to the information you’ve heard with the words and phrases provided in the box. Then listen to it again and check your answers.A Way to Improve English Listening QuicklyFew days ago, I watched a video which was taken by certain member of Taiwan University for teaching students how to improve English listening skill. Some advice is given from the lecturer. The source of the information is the Writing Center website.Today, I try to watch English movie without Chinese translating subtitles. At the beginning, it is very difficult to understand what the actors are talking about. But gradually, I can figure out more and more words. I know that the method does work to improve my listening skill. Certainly! My English listening ability is not good enough. It is fun to learn things and I always believe that.Page 8 Passage 2Now you’ll hear a passage, which is followed by four questions. Listen to it and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers.Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, when they meet a native speaker, they are still unable to speak English very well. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.Many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy! They will not laugh at yo u just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.习题答案及参考译文：Section A Listening and SpeakingPart One PronunciationⅠ. 清辅音： ☐ ♦  ♦♦ ♦❒ ♦☞ ♐  ♦ ☞ ♒浊辅音： ♌ ♎ ♑ ♎ ♎❒ ♎☪  ❆  ✞ ❒ ●  ♦ ❍ ⏹ ☠Ⅱ.略Part Three DialoguesDialogue 1Ⅰ. 1.

My topic today is about our college life. Several months ago I was sitting in the classroom of my senior high school, struggling for my dream to be a college student. At that time, I knew I should and must go on with my school education in this autumn, for I want to be good, just good. I will be a true man in the future who can live on my own. I will be a true man who can do something for my mother and my motherland.When I came here, I found our college was not the same as the one in my imagination. But they are both good. I think I have adapted to my college life. And I can even say I have got accustomed to it.In order to succeed in the future, I have made careful plans. Firstly, I will work harder and try to master English and computer technology. Secondly, I hope I can work in the student union to get some practical experience. Thirdly, I will make new plans. That’s all. Thank you.参考译文：我的大学生活1 大学生活伊始，我发觉它与高中生活大不相同。

THEME 1: IDENTITIES 身份Unit 1 生活方式第一个听力片段：淘宝改变人们的生活方式（四川口音） 淘宝网购已经成为人们日常生活的一部分。

来自成都的李欣表示自己由于平时工作太忙，日常生活用品多是通过淘宝购买，小到化妆品、棉签、香皂，大到电冰箱、空调……。

在李欣的影响下，她的妈妈也学会了在淘宝上买东西，家里的东西都是网购。

妈妈的购物车里有大米、油、牛奶等，累计已超过一百件。

不仅如此，李欣说，每年家里都会组织一到两次的家庭旅行，以前都是自己一个人搞定，但自从妈妈学会淘宝之后，订机票、订酒店，妈妈在手机上就能全部搞定。

李欣的男朋友是位漫画迷，但是在实体店里很难买到想要的原版漫画，而通过淘宝则可以买到多年前已绝版的漫画。

之所以网购被各位中老年人接受，主要还是淘宝比实体店东西种类多，可以挑选。

其次是价格优惠，再次是不用出门，货物可以直接送到家里。

另外，他们还可以在淘宝上找到各地的特色食材，让一家人都能饱口福。

可以说没有做不到，只有想不到。

淘宝不仅改变了我们的生活，更改变了我们的生活习惯。

李欣还说，淘宝现在也提供家政上门的服务了。

只需要打开手机淘宝的“生活家”应用程序，进入生活家平台，选择服务城市，如果你在成都，就点击预约，随后在你的收货地址中选择你想要打扫的家庭地址，确认服务时长、服务时间后完成手机支付，整个过程不会超过30秒，系统会自动匹配推荐商家安排阿姨，并在约定时间到达完成服务。

数据显示，截至2013年年底，淘宝上的800万活跃商家发布了7.96亿件商品。

淘宝影响之大，已经渐渐改变我们的生活方式。

答案： 1. C 2. C 3. C 4. A 5-8. B C D E  9. 7.96亿件商品。

Book1-Unit 5Optional Listening 1Toshi: Hi, Isabel. How are you?Isabel: Okay, Toshi… well, actually, I’m missing Spain today-especially the food.Toshi: You’re from Madrid, right?Isabel: Not exactly. I go to school in Madrid.Toshi: Oh, where do you live, then?Isabel: Getafe. It’s small suburb near Madrid.Toshi: I don’t know it.Isabel: Well, only about 150,000 people live there. It’s kind of boring. But it’s very affordable. Toshi: That’s good. The city I’m from is very expensive. You’r e lucky.Isabel: Yes, but we have a problem: the traffic. Sometimes I drive to school and the traffic is terrible.Optional Listening 2Singapore is a great city for a vacation. There are a lot of interesting things to see. You can visit Chinatown and little India, and go shopping on Orchard Road. Singapore also has many good restaurants. There are some great beaches for swimming near the city, and the parks are really beautiful. The city has very good public transportation---- you can take a bus, tr ain, or subway. It’s a safe city, and there isn’t much crime. It’s also a clean city. There isn’t much pollution. The only problem is that Singapore is expensive. The population of Singapore is approximately 4.84 million. With a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences and a tropical climate, tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.Optional Listening 3Choosing a cityIstanbul is a very unusual city—one part is in Europe, and the other part is in Asia. About 9 million people live there. Visitors love Istanbul because it has many beautiful, old buildings, and the food is great. At night, the seafood restaurants are very popular. And everything in Istanbul is very affordable for visitors. Traffic is a problem in the city, because there are too many cars for the old streets. There are also subways, trains, and buses, and some people take boats to go between the Europe side and the Asian side. The weather is very good in summer, but in winter it’s sometimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 people in Vancouver, but it’s a very clean city, and there’s not much pollution. Two bad points--- prices there are very high, and the weather is not very good. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy day, and in the evening, the city has great restaurants and nightclubs to visit.Optional Listening 4Two magazines recently listed the best cities to live in. Here are two o f the cities listed as “the world best.” San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers, and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But this city is still one of the world’s best. Why? Unlike other ci ties in Central and South America, San Jose has comfortable weather all year (15oc/60 o F to 26oc/79oF). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. Minuses: There’s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are a problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why live in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lively city---once a small fishing village--- is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and East, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples.Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There’s also food from Europe, North Ame rica,and other parts of Asia. Minuses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven million! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.Keys:OL1: A. 1. Getafe; 2. Madrid. B. small city, not very exciting, affordable.OL2: Population: 4.84 million; Weather: Tropical; Cost of living: Expensive; Transportation: Very good public transportation; Nightlife: Vibrant.OL3: B.

Patricia, my host mother, is really nice. She’s divorced and has two kids—a seventeen-year-old son, Jason, and a twelve-year-old daughter, Clarissa. We live in a large apartment. I have my own room. It has a bed, a desk, and small closet. We share a bathroom and a computer in the living room. I can also use the kitchen or watch TV in the living room.Living with an American family is interesting. On the first day here, Patricia showed me the house and my room. She said, "Make yourself at home." At first, I didn’t understand, but now I do. The apartment is like my apartment. I usually make breakfast for myself. I do my own laundry. I clean my own room. Patricia is my host mother, but she’s like a friend or a roommate. But, there are rules. It’s OK for my friends to visit, but only on the weekend. Jason’s friends come to the apartment on the weekend. They hang out in his room and listen to music or watch videos. Sometimes my friends from school have dinner with my family.Optional Listening 4The Guitar HouseIn Fayetteville, Georgia, there is a house that is shaped like a guitar. It was built by a song-writer and country music lover, Elvis L. Carden, in the 1970s.It’s right on the road and is brown. It’s not that strange, when you look at it from ground level. You probably would really noti ce it just driving by. In fact, you can’t really tell what it is from the street. But if you stop and look, the roof has a very slight slant, and then you can tell.It’s basically a modified ranch house with a long narrow walkway or hallway leading to th e garage, thus the guitar shape. It has a flat roof with the electrical wires running along the top to mimic guitar strings.The Shoe HouseHellam is a small town in south-central Pennsylvania. In this town, there is a shoe house. The house was built in 1948 by shoe magnate Mahlon N. Haines to advertise his business.The shoe House is a wood-framed house, which is 48 feet long and 17 feet wide at its widest point. It is a replica of high-top work boot. Besides a sole, heel, and toe, this shoe house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.Originally, Haines used Shoes House as a guesthouse. He invented elderly couples to spend the weekend and live like “kings and queens” at his expense. He also let honeymooners stay there for free, as long as they came from a town that they had a Haines shoe store.After Haines passed away, the Shoe House was sold. Now it has been turned into an ice cream parlor and is open to tourists.Keys:OL1: A. housing; B. C C.

What else?Young female voice: Well, you shouldn’t use matches.Tom: Why not?Young male voice: Many terrible fires start after an earthquake.Young female voice: Yeah, and when the shaking stops, don’t go outside.Tom: Ex actly. A lot of people run to the store for food and water after an earthquake. But it’s not safe. It’s better to stay outside.Optional Listening 3Home RemediesA long ago, when people were sick, they didn’t go to the doctor, and they didn’t buy medi cine from the drugstore. Instead, they used home remedies—medicine made from things from home. Today, many people like to use home remedies because they are cheap and easy to use. Here are some old home remedies from the United States.When you have sleeping problems.·Don’t eat dinner lat at night. Have a small, light dinner early in the evening.·Eat lettuce for dinner. It helps you feel calm.·Eat raw onions to help you sleep.When your ears hurts.·Don’t eat very cold food, like ice cream.·Put some salt in a bag, heat the bag, and put it into the side of your head.·Put warm oil in your ear.When you have a headache.·Don’t eat very cold food, like ice cream.·Lie down and close your eyes. Breathe calmly, and don’t think about anything.·Put a hot cloth on your head, above your eyes.When you have a stomach problem.·Eat a lot of yogurt to help your stomach work better.·Drink tea made from the ginger, peppermint, or chamomile plants.·Reduce alcohol, tea, and coffee.Optional Listening 4Student: I’m an 18-year-old high school student in Seoul. In eight months, I’m going to take the university entrance exam. To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do, Donna?Donna: Your problem is a common one for many students around the world. Here are some tips to help you. First, don’t do too much. Make a study schedule for yourself, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night, because we often forget information studied then. Second, take breaks and relax. You learn best when you study in two-hour blocks. Every two hours, take a break for 15 to 20 minutes. Go outside and walk. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. It can also improve memory and help you sleep better t night. Third, eat well. Don’t eat or drink a lot of sugar and caffeine. Eat food high in vitamin B, for example, eggs, yogurt, green vegetables, tofu, and rice. These give you energy and help you think more clearly. Finally, get a study partner. A study partner can help you practice fro the test. When you’re worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too.Key:OL1: A. 1.

I’m a freshman at Peking University and I’m majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I’m getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially list ening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I’ve decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my nam e is Virginia Wang.

I'm a freshman at PekingUniversity and I'm majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Someday I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activityis listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much asI can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang.

Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that's the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation. Weather –It sure is cold today, isn't it?News –Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always askyour partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it.”Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going,”or “It was nice talking to you”are frequently used by people to end aconversation.1 / 10Part CSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Wheredid you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good. Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in England want tohelp people improve their reading abilities. They want students to remember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling.Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to theeditor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five studentsread the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You're right. The frowning students.The specialist don't know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to studythe relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Exercise:1. If one can answer all the four questions, his memory is thought to be good. (I hear it.)2. The smiling student could remember more happy articles than the frowning students. (Ihear it.)3. Education specialist from England haven't found the best way to help people improve reading abilities. (I can not infer it.)4. The specialists are trying to explain the reason why facial expressions can help memory (I can infer it.)5. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person's memory. (I can infer it.)6. In the second group five students who read the angry letter while smiling rememberedless. (I can infer it.)Unit 3Part BAccommodation for College StudentsR: Good morning. Can I help you?S: Yes, please. I'm a new student and I'd like to have some information about the…em…the accommodation for students.R: Right. The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence and self-catering accommodation.S: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?R: For a single room, thirty-seven pounds eighty-six per week, that's about five forty-one aday. For a double room, it's fifty-two seventy-eight per week. This will apply throughout this academic year.2 / 10S: I'd like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is that from the residence to the university?R: It all depends. The residences at 36 Elms Road and 110 Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freeman's Common House at William Road are half a mile.S: When do I need to apply?R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?S: Undergraduate.R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.S: Could you possibly tell me what to do, if no vacancy is available?R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.S: Where is the office?R: In the Students' Union Building.S: Whom can I contact?R: Mr. Underwood. David Underwood, the manager of the accommodation information office.S: Thank you very much.R: You are welcome.Part CWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Unit 4Part BSmall Talk Is EasyA: Mike, guess what?B: What?A: Carol just invited me to a party at her house on Saturday.B: Carol?
