short conversations

1.W: The only thing I can do at night is to lie in bed and read, preferably while also eating a snack. I never have time for exercising.

M: Don't think it's worth exercising only if you can run five miles or if you can bike

for an hour. Even going for a 10-minute walk is worthwhile.

Q: What advice does the man give to the woman?D.Do whatever she can to exercise.

2.W: Hi, Mark, I've gained quite some weight recently. So, how can I eat healthily at social events?

M: Well. Drink a full glass of water before you go. Focus mainly on fresh fruit and vegetables or bread with whole grains. These will help you stay feeling full.

Q: What can we know about the woman?A.She may have some social events to attend.

3.W: I heard that in South Africa smoking is banned in all enclosed public spaces.

M: Yes, that's right. But pubs and bars with separate, enclosed smoking rooms are excluded from the ban, and most restaurants provide smoking sections, either indoor areas with good air circulation or outdoor open areas.

Q: What can we learn about the smoking rules in South Africa? B.People can smoke in the designated areas of pubs and bars.

4.M: So, your research shows that even when children are not direct targets of violence in the home, they can be harmed by witnessing its occurrence?

W: Yes, that's right. For example, they can suffer immediate and permanent physical harm. They can also experience short- and long-term emotional and behavioral problems.

Q: What are the two speakers talking about?

C.Impacts of family violence on children.

5.W: Skipping breakfast is common among people who are trying to lose weight, but it doesn't seem to be a successful strategy.

M: No, it isn't. While any breakfast may be better than no breakfast, a healthy breakfast can be something simple like a hard-boiled egg, a piece of 100 percent wholegrain toast along with a cup of 100 percent fruit juice.

Q: What is recommended for a healthy breakfast?

C.A piece of wholegrain bread.

long conversation

M: I love working out!

W: Ugh! You're sweating all over the floor ...

M: I just ran five miles! A friend told me about this great park on Jefferson Street. I love exploring new parks!

W: I try running at the gym three days a week, but it's so boring looking at the TV monitor or the wall in front of me for an hour.

M: You should run outside! Being in nature, enjoying the beautiful flowers and the trees, I feel my mind relax and the stress just falls away.

W: It is nice outside. My mom loves t'ai chi and a nearby t'ai chi group meets every morning at 6 a.m. I've tried going, but it's too early for me to get out of bed ...

M: T'ai chi is really good. You need some kind of exercise. It's unhealthy for you to sit in front of your computer all day, every day!

W: Well, I recently spend my weekends away from my computer.

M: Oh really? And what have you done recently that didn't involve a computer or TV screen?

W: Pandas! I just went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister on Saturday! They have one of the best panda exhibits in the US. The mother panda is from Wolong, China, and had had six baby pandas by 2012 since arriving at the San Diego Zoo in September of 1996.

M: Oh, I bet baby pandas are amazing! Hey! Maybe you should get a zoo membership and go jogging in the zoo!

W: A zoo membership! Now that's a great idea! I love the San Diego Zoo. It's near my house, I can get good exercise and I can watch the baby pandas grow up!

Q1: What has made the man sweat all over the floor? C.Running in a park.

Q2: Why doesn't the woman go to practice t'ai chi with her mom? B.Because getting up early is too difficult for her.

Q3: What does the woman normally do on weekends?D.Sitting before her computer.

Q4: Why does the man suggest the woman get a zoo membership?A.

For exercise like jogging in the zoo.

Passages1

Have you ever felt you don't have enough hours in the day? Or that you'd give anything for a whole day to catch up with yourself? Well, here are some ideas that work for me.

First of all, make a to-do list every day and set clear priorities. The trick here isn't making the list; that's the easy part. The trick is making the priorities. I look at my list and put a star next to anything that is really urgent. Then I put the number "2" next to anything that will just take a couple of minutes. I actually do these quick tasks before I get on with the urgent ones; it's a bit like clearing off the top of your desk before sitting down to write that important letter.

Second, know when is the most productive time of day for you and do your work or study then. One of the shocking discoveries I made about myself is that if I get up at 5 a.m., I can do a day's work and even fit breakfast in before half past nine. Of course, if you are an early bird, it can be difficult to accomplish tasks that involve phoning "night owls", but that's what email's for!

Finally, do not let your inbox run your life. I just realized recently how frequently I interrupted my real work to check my inbox and respond to the most trivial of emails. So, now I only open it when absolutely necessary and this saves me hours. If your work depends on you being constantly accessible by email, then you can't do this; but be honest and ask yourself, "Am I an email addict?"

With these simple, practical techniques, you will become more efficient, less stressed and be able to win some "me-time" for yourself.

Q1: What tasks does the speaker tend to do first every day? A

Q2: How to work more efficiently according to the speaker? C

Q3: How does the speaker deal with emails now? D

Q4: What is the purpose of the talk?C

A.The quick tasks.

C.Make use of your most productive time of day.

D.He opens his inbox only when it's necessary.

C.To give some tips on how to manage time.

Passages2

Listen to a short passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen for its general idea. When it is read for the second time, fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. When it is read for the third time, check what you have written.

In a perfect world, we would all avoid too much credit card debt and would never have to deal with the trouble of being unable to meet our credit card payment obligations. But this is not a perfect world, and unfortunately, these 1) distressing situations are the norm for many people.

If you find yourself in this position, or heading there, you should cut your spending now. Don't wait until your situation is so 2) desperate that you have few options available to you.

Facing the factors that give you the 3) urge to spend money carelessly can be uncomfortable, but if you don't face them, how will you control your debt and 4) acquire the things you truly want?

One negative aspect of using credit cards instead of cash is that you 5) are totally unaware of the fact that you're spending real money. The pleasant feelings you experience when you purchase the item 6) are isolated from the unpleasant feelings of making the payment when you get the credit card statement.

Studies 7) affirm that most people are much less likely to buy when paying with cash as opposed to credit cards. So, try leaving your credit cards at home, and pay with cash or check.

To really control your spending and your credit card debt, you need to examine what money means to you. Make an effort to notice how you 8) interact with money and what beliefs and attitudes you have about money. Studies also show that people with low self-esteem engage themselves in more 9) impulse spending and buying things they don't need.

Remind yourself daily that your worth as a person has nothing to do with how much money you have. Once you 10) are convinced of this, you will break the psychological barriers that were keeping you from handling your money wisely.

新视野听力原文及答案

UNIT 5 VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Hot Business Ideas Business ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one. First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value. But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free. What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business. Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy. There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better. 1. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea? 2. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention? 3. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap? 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? 5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.D Task 2: What do you know about business? Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” m ay serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives. One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships. Task3: An office boy or a billionaire? A jobless man applied for the po sition of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor. “You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.”The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”

On the first day (Voice-over: Harrison meets Jenny before the first class.) Harrison: I'm Harrison. Good to meet you. Jenny: Good to meet you. I'm Jenny. Harrison: So, you've bought the books for this biology class. Jenny: Yeah. I think everyone had to before class started. Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it's still add-drop. Jenny: What's that? Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which is best. Jenny: Have you had this teacher before? I've heard he is really good. Harrison: He's good if you're a hard worker. He expects a lot. Jenny: Oh, I guess that's good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class. Harrison: You're welcome. (Voice-over: Jenny catches up with Harrison after the first class.) Jenny: Harrison, wait up! Harrison: So what do you think of the professor's lecture? Jenny: I think about half of what he said went over my head. Harrison: Don't worry. A lot of what he said is explained in the reading. Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don't have class until Wednesday. Here you go. Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I'm prepared for the seminar. Harrison: Yeah. Participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here. How to select elective courses? Consider these tips on elective courses and you'll choose those that will serve you best. To begin with, you should select the courses that fit your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses closely related to your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. For example, you may select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major. For business majors, select electives in accounting, business administration, and even computing, as you'll never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world. Moreover, you can choose an education that includes many fields of study. If you are taking a heavy load of career-related courses, you may prefer electives that are not directly related to your major. If you receive a well-rounded education, some employers believe that you have better potential. For example, if you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possibly win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Finally, you can also select a challenging elective course. Part of getting an education is learning how to learn, and elective courses should help you achieve this goal. You need not to memorize all the information from each class, but you should get a better understanding of the world. So, pick elective courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. For instance, you can consider a philosophy elective if you have been told that you are a little narrow-minded.
