Script of Track 6-2-3
Peter: And now for our last report of this evening, we turn to Jayne Montgomery in our London office for a story that reads like a movie screenplay. Jane. Jayne:Thanks, Peter. It’s been just over a month now since police on a routine patrol spotted a tall, blonde man wandering in a daze on a beach in the costal
town of Sheerness in southeast England. Officers initially approached this
man because he seemed to be lost. The man, who appears to be in his late 20s
and early 30s, was dressed as if he’d come from a celebration of some sort.
However, the strange thing was that the clothes he was wearing at that time
were wet—as if he’d just been in the water. While he was not injured,
officers say that he was extremely confused. And when asked his name, he
seemed to draw a blank. Concerned for the man’s safety, officers took him to
a nearby hospital for observation. Staff members found the man physically
intact, but unable or unwilling to talk. According to one hospital staff
member, the young man doesn’t seem to know where he is or even who he is.
We spoke earlier with a social worker at the Sheerness Memorial Hospital. Social Worker:
At the moment, we’re concentrating on establishing the patient’s identity. He
was brought into the hospital without any money or identification. We’ve
tried showing him photos of various places in the U.K. and Europe, hoping
he’d associate something in a picture with his home. But so far, we haven’t
had any luck. At the moment, we believe that this young man is suffering
from some kind of memory lapse, a form of temporary amnesia, if you will. Jayne:The story might have ended there if one of the hospital social workers hadn’t given the man a piece of paper and pen, hoping that he would try to write
something and perhaps has identified himself that way. That’s when things
took an unusual turn.
Social Worker:
Well, it’s quite astonishing really. We’re all expecting to write his name or
perhaps where he’s from. But instead, he drew this picture of a piano. No one
quite understood what he was trying to communicate so we took him
downstairs where we’ve got a piano. You can imagine our shock when he sat
down and began playing everything from Tchaikovsky to the songs by the
Beatles!
Jayne:Several weeks later, the man now being referred to as “the Piano Man” still hasn’t spoken and for the most part, remains extremely confused. Social
workers observing him claim that it’s only when he is at the piano that he
seems to be content. The special hotline established to help the man has been
inundated with calls from around the globe. As of today, though, no positive
identity has been made. Peter?
Peter:That’s quite a story, Jane. I’m curious…have doctors been able to determine what may have caused the man’s memory loss?
Jayne:At this point, they aren’t sure. Because this man doesn’t appear to suffer any
sort of head injury, doctors believe that his amnesia may have been brought
on by a sudden shock of some kind.
Peter:It’s interesting that his ability to play the piano remains intact even though he can’t remember who he is.
Jayne:Yes, his case really does raise some interesting questions about the human mind and about how our memories work.
Peter:Hmm… Well, it’ll be interesting to see how this story develops. If any of our listeners has any information that might help to identify this man, we’re
asking that you please contact our production office…

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

1,Music plays an important role in our daily life. For me,misic is almost like my friends.i like listening the music ,when I find some songs is pretty good ,I will learn to sing it.there are several different kinds of music .i like classical music most. though its not the most popular one,and there are not so many people have the same teste with me ,I still love it.since it can give me power and energy.some slow classical music can calm me down .of course,I also listen some pop songs.they can be singed . Love's Greeting is one of the song I like most. It gives me the sence of love .everytime I enjoy it ,I find all the pressures and sadness are disappear.yes good music have that power which can let people go out of bad mood and improve peoples happiness. https://www.doczj.com/doc/4a16824178.html,pared with watching movies in the theater ,I prefer watch it at home .in this way ,I can do what ever I want to do while I watched the movie.lying on the sofa and have something to eat is more comfortable than in the theater.as there are different kinds of movies .in terms of the contain ,I like comedy ,it always make me laugh and happy ,especially seeing it with my friends which is one of the fantastic thingi have ever experienced. some of books are made into a movie,I like read the book first ,since I can get more about the character of some people in the story first,and form my own thought of the story .and then enjoy the movie’s sounds and view.for most of people ,movies are just something of entertainment but for me it’s a good way to learn English ,I can hear the daily English and in this way ,I can improve my English. 3.Love is one of the happiest words in the world.finding his or her true love is very important for young boys and girls.for me ,I think love need time.some movies and books always descripe that a man and a woman in love at first sight ,but its not usually occurred in our daily life.when you are in love with someone ,don’t ignore you both are equal people ,boys shouldn’t pay for everything on a date. Maybe he feel it is his duty to pay for everything ,and if he doesn’t pay for it ,he will be ashamed.so ,girls can pay only a little of the bill.i believe that true love is no difference in age.if he or she have the same value and attitude to things,of course the most important love ,they c an be together.but pay more attention to marriage ,you must choose the most suitable one to get married ,because he is someone who accompany with you for the rest of your life.love is not an easy thing ,so be in love with someone more carefully. 4.In our daily life, ads can be found everywhere.but the quality of the ads is not good as everyone want it to be.there are always something unreal in ads.some sponsor even cheat the customer to make profits.because of this, I’m not fully believe in the ads.so, in my opinion, producers don’t need to pay more attention to ads.when they already be knowm by the customers ,its effective for them to put their emphases on the quality or something else.because customers buy the product, not the ads.as for the customer ,we should not always trust the ads,some of them are aggrandizement.they are not as good as they say.sometimes they maybe even bad for our health .so be careful. 5.nowadays,pets become a member of many families.dogs and cats are the most popular pets .peopl e thinks they are lovely .some of the pets can even help people to do things. Such as the dogs,they can protect their owner from being hurt .they can keep the house safety, the can also help the policeman find somebody.yet ,not everyone love to have a pet .so I never give a pet as a birthday present.unless I know she likes pets.more and more people in today have a pet .they keep them in the apartment and never let them out.in my opinion, pets have their freedom,people shouldn’t always kepp them in the room.they need frash air and beautiful sunshine.since they are our friends instead of only a pet . 6.fishion Nowadays，an increasing number of college students are pursuing fashion，which has aroused a great concern in the society. Some，even at the beginning of their college life，begin to make every effort to buy a variety of famous-brand products. Some take part in different kinds of popular entrainment activities. As a result，when it becomes a kind of luxury to pursue fashion，all these will bring about a burden to these young people financially and mentally.As far as I am concerned，college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves of fashion.

Book 2 Chapter 1 The Population Today we’re going to talk about population in the United States. According to the most recent government census, the population is 281,421,906 people. Now this represents an increase of almost 33 million people since the 1990 census. A population of over 281 million makes the United States the third most populous country in the whole world. As you probably know, the People’s Republic of China is the most populous country in the world. But do you know which is the second most populous? Well, if you thought India, you were right. The fourth, fifth, and sixth most populous countries are Indonesia, Brazil, and Pakistan. Now let’s get back to the United States. Let’s look at the total U. S. population figure of 281 million in three different ways. The first way is by race and origin; the second is by geographical distribution, or by where people live; and the third way is by the age and sex of the population. First of all, let’s take a look at the population by race and origin. The latest U. S. census reports that percent of the population is white, whereas percent is black. Three percent are of Asian origin, and 1 percent is Native American. percent of the population is a mixture of two or more races, and percent report themselves as “of some other race”. Let’s make sure your figures are right: OK, white, percent; black, percent; Asian, 3 percent; Native American, 1 percent; a mixture of two or more races, percent; and of some other race, percent. Hispanics, whose origins lie in Spanish-speaking countries, comprise whites, blacks, and Native Americans, so they are already included in the above figures. It is important to note that Hispanics make up percent of the present U.S. population, however. Finally, the census tells us that 31 million people in the United States were born in another country. Of the 31 million foreign born, the largest part, percent are from Mexico. The next largest group, from the Philippines, number percent. Another way of looking at the population is by geographical distribution. Do you have any idea which states are the five most populous in the United States? Well, I’ll help you out there. The five most populous states, with population figures, are California, with almost 34 million; New York, with 21 million; Texas, with 19 million; and Florida, with 16 million; and Illinois with million people. Did you get all those figures down? Well, if not, I’ll give you a chance later to check your figures. Well, then, let’s move on. All told, over half, or some 58 percent of the population, lives in
