C. Now listen to the whole interview. Circle the correct words or phrases to complete each sentence according to what each speaker says.

Cynthia: And welcome back to "Book Talk" on WKRZ. I'm your host Cynthia Marques, and this morning we'll be reviewing Corinne Maier's French bestseller Bonjour Paresse

-- which translates into English as Hello Laziness. Maier's book, Hello Laziness,

takes a humorous look at the corporate workplace, and encourages readers to do as

little as possible when they're at work. Joining me to discuss the book are David

Sorenson, a journalist for City Tithes magazine, and Marc Pryce, a professor of

social psychology at Bower University So, let's start with Maier's opinion in Hello

Laziness that we work because we have to -- because we need the money, not

because most of us love out' jobs. David, what are your thoughts about this? David: I completely agree with that .... I mean, the fact is, most of us do go to work for the paycheck ... not because we love our jobs ... we need money to live.

yntbia: Are you speaking from personal experience?

David: Oh absolutely! Who hasn't felt this way -- especially if you've worked in a boring job with little chance of advancement? ... Anyway, I thought that Maier dealt with

the subject of office work in a very witty, amusing way in her book. 1 laughed out

loud several times while reading it.

Cynthia: Can you give us an example?

David: Of what made me laugh? Well, for instance, she gives all of these wonderful tips for doing as little as possible at work -- things like pretending to be a smoker so that

you can take frequent five-minute breaks.

Cynthia: That's a good one.

David: ... Or ... um ... hiding a magazine inside a large work manual.

Cynthia: Right, her tips were funny ... So what about you, Marc? What did you think of the book?

Marc: Well, in places, it was humorous, no question. But overall, I found it to be rather negative -- in spite of the humor.

Cynthia: What bothered you about the book? Can you think of a specific example?

Marc: Well, one thing Maier says in her book is to be nice to temporary workers. Why?

Because they are the only ones who do any real work. In other words, the other

people in the company are all just modern-day slaves ...They aren't doing anything

meaningful.

David: Now I think that's pretty funny.

Marc: And then there's another tip from the author: Never accept a position of responsibility.

She says that you'll just have to work extra hard for little money. Instead of encouraging people to figure out what else they could be doing with their lives, she tells them it's better to just goof off at work. 1 didn't really find that very funny, 1 guess.

David: Yes, but Maier is being ironic, Marc ...

Marc: I know what you're saying, David, but what I'm getting at is that Maier's book encourages people to just give up. She claims that it's pointless to try to change things in the workplace ... you know, that you can be replaced by another person at any time. Her message is that you can't get ahead in today's workplace, and you'll

probably be laid off eventually, so why bother.

David: Yes, but Maier wasn't trying to write a self-help book, Marc. When she tells us to go for the most useless position in the company so that you won't have to work too hard ... well, she's not being entirely serious. It's kind of a joke.

Cynthia: Well, I can see that our listeners are going to have to read the book and decide for themselves. Thank you both for joining us today.

Track 5-1-8

C. Pair work. Now listen to the whole interview. Pay special attention to what Resende said towards the end of the interview. Who do you think may have said each statement below7 Write the person's name. Then compare your answers with a partner and give your reasons.

Interviewer: Why don't we start off (开始旅行;以…开始;迅速跑开;出发) by talking a little about how you developed your interest in food and cooking?

Resende: We!l, food has always been my passion (热爱) .As a child, ! used to love preparing meals with my grandmother, who was from Brazil. And as I got older,

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen, experimenting with different dishes Thai

soups, German tortes, Italian pastas.

Interviewer: But you never considered a career in the culinary arts7

Resende: Not at all. You know, as a kid, I grew up learning that a person went to college and got a job in business, law, or something like that. Telling my parents that !

wanted to "study food" would’ve been impossible. They never would have

agreed.

Interviewer: So, fast forward to the present. You're now a business development manager for an international technology company. !t doesn't exactly sound like the career

you dreamed of. Tell us, how did The Mediterranean came into your life? Resende: About three years ago, I moved into an apartment around the corner from this store it's a lovely little place that specializes in imported food from Greece,

Spain, and Italy. There's a deli as well. Anyway, i'd drop in there once a week or

so to pick up different items. But the next thing you knew, i was talking with the

owner, Alex Kanellos, about a cheese or a certain wine. Then one day, he

jokingly suggested that i work in the deli since I had all of these ideas. I just

laughed when he said it, but when I got home, ! couldn't stop thinking that

maybe this part-time job was an opportunity in disguise（一个被伪装的机会）. interviewer: So you took the job?

Resende: Oh yeah. ! went to the deli the next morning. I had butterflies in my stomach. !

kept thinking ... I'm thirty years old and I'm taking a part-time job in a deli.

What am I doing? When I asked Mr. Kanellos if he was serious about letting me

work there part-time, he looked a little surprised at first. But then, Mr. Kanellos

handed me an apron（围裙）, and the rest is history, so to speak, i've been

working there every Saturday for the last couple of years.

Interviewer: What led to your decision to buy the deli?

Resende: About eight months ago, Mr. Kanellos mentioned that he was getting ready to retire, and was going to sell the place. So, l started thinking ... lf he's going to

sell it to someone, why not me? When l approached Mr. Kanellos with the idea,

he was very open to it. l also think he was pleased to turn over the place to

someone he knew.

Interviewer: And what about your job with the tech company?

Resende: I'm going to stay for another three months, until Mr. Kanellos retires. Interviewer: How are your family and friends reacting to the news?

Resende: My friends are really happy for me. A lot of them have jobs they can't stand -- especially my friend Suki -- and most would love to make a change in their lives.

My boyfriend has been pretty supportive, too, though at first, he thought I was

crazy to work part-time at the deli. My mom isn't thrilled, though. She's worried

about me leaving a "good job" to run the store, but I know that as a small

businesswoman, 1 can be successful, too. I'm sure she'll come around!

Unit 1, Lesson B

Forced to outsource

TV reporter: Silicon Valley software developer S. Atlantic makes no apologies for the fact that most of its work is done by engineers in India. Much of its business involves

helping start-up software companies launch their products. Without India's cost

savings, those companies wouldn't exist, because venture capital firms now

require software start-ups to offshore before they'll invest.

O'Brian: It is now a table stake for a software start-up to do a pretty large percentage of their product development with an outsourcing and offshore model. And I would

say the majority of that work is done in India today, with China starting to grow

quickly, and other areas as well: Eastern Europe, Latin America, other parts of

South Asia.

TV reporter: S. Atlantic's founders are Indian immigrants, as are most of its 70 U.S.

employees. It's Hyderabad, India, software developers make about a quarter of

what U.S. workers would. That translates to 50% overall cost savings for its

clients. The CEO of software start-up Kommendio says he had no other option. Gil: Not in Silicon Valley during one of the most -- the toughest economic periods in history. Because capital is very, very tight.

TV reporter: (;il says the lower costs will also speed up Kommendio's development cycle by at least a year. S. Atlantic's offshoring business is growing faster than it

expected. The company plans to add a total of about a thousand jobs in India

this year and next. S. Atlantic says hiring in the United States will be

proportional, so that's less than a hundred jobs. Nationwide, information

technology employment continues to struggle. At the end of the first quarter, it

was 2% higher than last year, and that's expected to slow because tech

companies plan to hire fewer than half the number of workers they did last year. O'Brian: It's clear that there is a lot of creative destruction in capitalist societies and economies, and nowhere more so than in Silicon Valley. And the benefits of that

sort of creative destruction, at the bottom line, are fundamentally, economic

growth and more jobs in the long run.

TV reporter: In the near term, however, most ofS. Atlantic's jobs will be created in India. Your reporter, Fremont, California.

C. Now listen to the whole conversation. Complete each sentence with words and information

you hear.

Mr. Young: Hi, Carrie ... Joel. It's nice to meet you. Please, have a seat.

Joel: Thanks, Mr. Young.

Mri Young: So, is this your first time visiting with a financial advisor?

Carrie: Yeah, it is for me.

Joel: Me too.

Mr. Young: OK, that's fine. Now, in preparation for our meeting, you were asked to do a little homework -- to create a budget of sorts on your own. Did you get a chance

to do that?

Carrie: Yeah, we did, but it was tough. I don't see how it's going to work.

Mr, Young: And you, Joel? How do you fee!?

Joel: Pretty much the same. But, if we don't get things under control, we're going to be in big trouble.

Mr. Young: From looking at your expenses, I’d agree with you there. OK ... next question ...

any idea how you got into this situation?

Joel: Credit cards. We splurged last year: we bought a new entertainment center for the apartment, went on vacation to the Bahamas, I bought a new car. Basically,

we spent a lot of money on things we didn't need, and now we've maxed out all

our cards.

Carrie: And we don't have any kind of financial plan. We're living paycheck to paycheck, I’m having anxiety attacks just thinking about it. What's going to

happen if one of us loses our job?

Mr. Young: Let's take this one step at a time and see if we can lessen your anxiety, OK? ...

The situation certainly isn't hopeless. One thing to do is to start tracking your

expenses. Then, make cutting back on these expenses a priority,

Carrie: That's easier said than done ... OK, so where do we start?

Mr. Young: Well, the first thing to do, I think, is to eliminate some of your bigger expenses -- bring down the costs ... Let's see ... Joel, you're making payments on a new

car, aren't you?

Joel: Yes, I am.

Mr. Young: Well, one thing I’d suggest right off the bat is for you to sell that new car. Joel: I'd hate to lose my car...

Mr. Young: Well, get a used one then. The payments will be much more manageable. Joel: OK ... I guess I can accept that ... But honestly, how will we ever pay off those credit cards?

Mr. Young: Hold on a second. We have to start slowly and be focused. Before you can get out of debt, you have to start spending less money in general -- making some

small changes.... Now, let's look at your daily habits. You have cable TV,

right?

Joel: Yeah.

Mr. Young: And what about magazine subscriptions? Did you calculate that for me? Carrie: Yep. We spend about $250 a year on magazines. The cable bill runs about ... I don't know ... what is it?

Joel: About 50 buck a month?

Carrie: I think it's more like 60 ... So that comes out to about $720 a year.

Mr. Young: OK, so let's say we cut back on half of the magazines -- that's $125 a year --plus eliminate the $720 for cable.

Carrie: Wow, that's almost $900 saved over a year. And we hardly watch TV anyway. Joel: Seems doable to me.

Mr. Young: This is the way we need to look at it. Now, what about entertainment -- things like going to the movies, concerts, clubbing, going out to eat...?

Joel: Well, we don't really go out that often.

Carrie: Yeah, maybe we go to the movies or see a band somewhere once or twice a month.

Joel: And we do meet friends for dinner on Saturdays, but most of the week, we eat at home.

Carrie: Yeah, but we do get take-out at the Chinese restaurant about once a week. Joel: Oh yeah. And I usually grab a cup of coffee in the morning -- on my way to work. Does that count?

Mr. Young: You know, if you buy a cup of coffee every morning it can really add up. Just think about how much you spend every day. Now think about how much that

coffee will cost you over 10 years.

Joel: Wow. I had no idea.

Mr. Young: Yeah ... I'd suggest taking your own from home.

Carrie: Sounds like another great way for us to save.

Mr. Young: Good! Now, about eating out and going places with friends...

Track 5-2-6

A. A professor is talking to his class about migrant workers. Listen to the lecture and number

the topics in the order ill which they are presented.

Today, we are going to start looking at the impact that migrant workers have been having around the world, and at some of the challenges that they face on both personal and institutional levels. By the end of this lecture, 1 hope you come to realize that migrant workers are not only very important to national economies but also to the global economy, and that they will continue to grow in importance as countries and companies compete more aggressively to enhance their human resources.

Let me start out by giving you some statistics. Today, almost one out of every ten residents in many industrialized nations is from another country, and the number of people living and working outside their home countries has more than doubled since the mid-1970s to almost 180 million.

In fact, over the last ten years, thousands of people have traveled abroad in search of opportunity, and this movement has been noticed, and even encouraged, by different countries, as I will explain later. For example, Japan and Canada, and countries in Europe, Australasia, and the Middle East are beginning to realize how important workers from abroad are to their

economies. Migrant workers bring with them special skills needed in an industrialized nation, and they are also willing to do Certain jobs that many citizens won't do, such as janitorial and factory work.

In addition, by working abroad and sending money home, migrant workers are helping to improve the lives of their families. Money sent home can be used to buy a house, send someone to school, or start a small business. These are opportunities that families in some countries might not have otherwise.

Moreover, the money that migrant workers send home has an impact on the economies of their countries of origin. It helps to sustain, and sometimes improve, the economic we!l-being of the home country. In 2002, for example, Brazilian workers in Japan sent more money home than Brazil made by exporting coffee that year. Another statistic points out that a very small percentage of india's population, only zero point one percent (0.1%), live and work in the U.S. However, these workers earn and send back almost ten percent (10%) of india's national income.

Industrialized nations that have the largest number of migrant workers are now changing their laws to make it easier for foreign workers to enter, and remain in, their countries. Many countries are now allowing dual citizenship -- which was quite uncommon in the recent past, especially in developing nations. And now, a citizen of one country can live and work abroad as a citizen of another nation, and still send money back to his or her home country.

Living and working in a foreign country is not easy of course, but many migrant workers have a strong sense of purpose. One man I met from Mumbai told me that although he missed being with his family, he knew that he had made the right decision to move here, and in the long run, it would be worth it.

Now, are there any questions before we move on?

Unit 2, Lesson B

Britain's migrant boom

TV reporter: When the flags were raised back in May to salute the arrival often new countries in the European Union, there was one sour note. Worried at the prospect of

increased immigration, many of the older EU states put restrictions on the free

movement of incomers to work in their countries. But now those who didn't,

like Britain, are gaining dividends.

FPB official: Several British firms have actually set up shop in Poland for a few days, doing a sort of work trade, ifyou like, where people have applied for jobs and the firms

found them -- have signed them up, found them accommodation here, and

they're working happily.

TV reporter: Handy for Poland, where unemployment runs around 20%; but good, too, for Britain, where employers back the Bank of England's verdict that the influx of

job seekers is helping to keep down interest rates.

CBI official:They explain why we are continuing to see increases in employment, reductions in unemployment, without the disease we always used to have when the

economy overheated: wage inflation, inflation generally, boom and bust. The

economy's far more flexible than it used to be, and one of the reasons is migrant

workers.

TV reporter: More than half those working in the UK's health service, for example, are migrant workers born overseas.

CB! official: They're filling gaps that either we have key skill shortages in -- and I think that's particularly noticeable in construction -- or they're filling gaps where people,

frankly, will not do the work because of antisocial hours, because of relatively

poor pay.

TV reporter: But some opposed to increased immigrations see snags.

MW official: It is true that a large flow of cheap labor will keep wages down. That's fine for the employer. But of course, it's the taxpayer who has to pay for the housing, the

hospitals, the schools, and so on; not the employer. So, of course, cheap labor

has some benefits. But it's having a substantial effect on our economy, on the

overcrowding in Britain.

TV reporter: But not all the migrant workers like those from Poland stay.

FPB official: Largely because they have already made some money, and they can go to Poland and either set up a little business of their own or anyway help the family who

have been struggling while they've been living over here.

TV reporter: Migrants help to oil the economic machinery. In Britain, construction, agriculture, the health service would be in trouble without them. But if business

leaders can see the benefits of managed migration, many ordinary folk, fearful

of seeing wage levels driven down, are yet to be convinced.

Your reporter, London.

A. Listen to the interview. What is the relationship between Claudia and Carat Check (/) the

box.

Host: lf you heard this story from a friend, you probably wouldn't believe it. But the fact is, it's all true ... Welcome to our program, I’m your host, Ross Bilton. I’m sitting

here with Claudia and Cara, two business students ... with their story to share ...

thanks for joining us.

Claudia: Thanks for having us.

Host: This is a really interesting story, isn't it.'? I think our viewers are going to be surprised to hear about it. We'll start with you, Claudia. Tell us how this all started ... Claudia: Well, let's see ... I'm attending school at Hampton College -- I'm a junior, majoring in business -- and one day ...

Host: Let's back things up a bit. Tell us a little about your background first, Claudia. Claudia: OK. Um .... let's see ... I grew up -- I was raised as an only child ... and I was raised Jewish.

Host: How about you, Cara?

Cara: Not me ... ! have a lot of brothers and sisters and, well, my family is Catholic.

Host: Go ahead, Claudia.

Claudia: And .., umm ... Actually, I found out I was adopted when I was young ... ! searched for answers for years. I wanted to know about my birth parents. Unfortunately, I

didn't -- couldn't learn much because my birth documents were lost.

Host: How did you know you were adopted?

Claudia: Because 1 didn't look anything like my parents ... so i asked them, and they told me ...

Cara: I don't look like my parents either!

Host: Cara, did you grow up in the city？

Cara: Nope ... I'm a suburban girl. ! mean .... I like the city and everything, but I didn't grow up there.

Claudia: I'm the one who grew up in the city.

Host: That's great ... Well, obviously you two look alike -- honestly, if i ran into you on the street .... well .... I don't think I'd be able to tell you apart ...

Cara: That's what everyone says ... even though our hair is different and our taste in clothes isn't the same ... I mean ... we ARE identical twins ...

Host: Right ... OK, so we know Claudia is going to school. You're in college, too, Carat Cara: Yes. I'm at the same college as she -- my sister -- is ... which is pretty wild （这是很疯狂的）... I'm a junior（年少的）, too ... the only difference is I'm

minoring in (辅修) business.

Host: And you didn't know Claudia？

Cara: No, I didn't. Growing up, l heard rumors about ... well, there was talk that I had a twin sister living somewhere ... My mother had this theory ... that she was

somewhere in Canada. 1 had no idea she really existed, and that she was so close

by ... Oh, did you know we now live only 15 minutes from each other？In the

same town？

Host: That's really something! ... So, how did you find each other?

Claudia: Now this is a funny story! We dated the same guy! ... Josh -- my current boyfriend -- told me, you know, "You won't believe this -- but, like, I know this girl who

looks just like you! You have to meet her." And 1 said, "Yeah... uh huh ... right ..." Host: You didn't believe him.

Claudia: Not at first ... I mean ... come on ...

Host: How did you know Josh, Carat

Cara: We went out a couple of times ... Nothing romantic, but ... um, he's a great guy-- we're good friends now.

Host: So, what did you think when you met each other?Were you surprised?

Cara: To say the least!（可以这么说）

Host: You certainly didn't need any evidence you were twins.

Claudia: No, we didn't. When we saw each other -- it was pretty obvious.

Cara: It was unbelievable that we'd been living so close to each other and never knew it!

And it was such a twist of fate that we met and got to know each other ...

Host: Speaking of getting to know each other, have there been any surprises you've learned?

Cara: We have a lot in common! We're both interested in music and ... urn, our bedrooms are painted the same color -- yellow! Oh yeah and ...

Claudia: And we have the same favorite food -- fried chicken!

Host: And you can finish each other’s sentences! We'll have to leave it there for today. It's wonderful that there's been such a positive outcome to this story. Thank you for

joining us ... Cara and Claudia -- twins who were separated at birth and reunited

twenty years later. Good luck to both of you!

C, Listen again to the whole TV program. Then read the statements in A and B, and decide if each is a fact or a theory. Write the correct letter (For T} next to each statement above. Speaker 1: For years, scientists have tried to account for the mysterious disappearances of planes and ships at sea. Now, they may have the answer due to new satellite data.

Stay tuned to Mystery World.

Speaker 2: From Washington, DC, here's Clark Jacobs with Mystery World.

Speaker 1: Consider these three facts: First...Over the last twenty years, hundreds of cargo ships -- many as big as a soccer field -- have mysteriously disappeared or been

destroyed in the North Atlantic and near the tip of South America and South

Africa.

Second...The Bermuda Triangle, roughly the area between southern Horida, Puerto

Rico, and Bermuda, has been the site of many ship and aircraft disappearances

over the last hundred years, and Third...in the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of

central Japan, there is a region known as "The Devil's Sea" -- given its name in

1955 after ten ships vanished, and the area has been named a danger zone by the

Japanese government.

For years, scientists have struggled to explain these events. Many speculated that

bad weather or machine problems were responsible, and on Mystery World, we

considered the possibility of visitors from space as the cause.

But now there is evidence that may shed new light on the disappearances.

Satellites set up by the European Space Agency have recently identified enormous

waves far out in the oceans. These "monster are often nearly thirty meters high, or

about the size ora twelve-story building. They often rise unexpectedly, like giant

walls of water from the sea, crashing down with great force, and then, they

disappear.

Speaker 2: Though waves this size have been a part of folklore for centuries, people believed that they were extremely rare, occurring only once every ten thousand years. The

satellite data, though, proves that they are more common than once thought.

Scientists now also suspect that these waves may have been responsible for

many of the unexplained disappearances of low-flying aircraft and ships over the

years. So, how and why do waves like these form? In analyzing the recent

satellite images collected by the European Space Agency, scientists have noted

that monster waves appear to form most often in places where waves of different

strengths come together from different directions. At the southern tip of

Africa,for example, where the Atlantic and indian Oceans meet, it is quite

common for waves to crash into each other. Combined with the strong ocean

currents in the region, waves may then grow to enormous height. This theory

may explain the occurrence of monster waves in similar locations around the

globe such as at the tip of South America.

To understand why monster waves might form in places like the North Sea,

where there are no fast- moving ocean currents, scientists have turned to

studying the weather and its effect on the ocean. They hope that by studying

weather patterns, they may be able to predict where monster waves are likely to

develop.

Even though scientists are beginning to understand more about monster waves,

there is still a lot to learn. And now that it is clear that these waves are more

common than once thought, efforts should be made to improve ships'safety and

to minimize the loss of life. For Mystery World, this is Clark Jacobs in

Washington.

Jesse: Same here.

Ashley: Urn. have a seat .... Did -- did you have any trouble finding this place？Jesse: Nope, not at all. Your directions were perfect.

Ashley: Well, you were right on time. You know, I like meeting people here because it's easy to find. The prices are good ... and the food's pretty good, too.

Jesse: Great! I'm starving ...

Ashley: So, Jesse .... ! guess i'll ask the usual question: What do you do for a living? Jesse: I work for the city. I'm a firefighter .... I've been at the station downtown for five years. How about you?

Ashley: I'm a pilot.

Jesse: Really! For a commercial airline7

Ashley: Yes. I fly for Paragon Airlines :-- typically I'm assigned the long-haul flights. Jesse: That sounds tough.

Ashley: !t is in some ways ... urn, I love it, though. I've always loved flying. And this job with Paragon is, well .... it's stable -- and it gives me the flexibility to do other things.

Like running. You see, I get several days off between flights, so it gives me plenty

of time to train.

Jesse: What are you training for .... If you don't mind me asking?

Ashley: Not at all ... I'm going to run my first marathon in the fall. Wish me luck! ... I just hope I can finish.

Jesse: You look like you're in great shape ... i bet you'll do fine.

Ashley: Enough about me. What do you like to do for fun?

Jesse: I run, too, actually, but not long-distance. I could never do a marathon. I guess ... well, let's see ... 1 also like adventure sports like skydiving and mountain climbing. Ashley: You're very uninhibited, I can see!

Jesse: Oh, and my other interest is a girl named "Corky." She's my dog -- I've had her for almost ten years.

Ashley: Oh ... l love dogs, too. I've got two myself. They're beagles. What kind of dog is Corky?

Jesse: Cocker spaniel ... You know, you're easy to talk to.

Ashley: You, too. Not at all like my last ... oops, ! probably shouldn't be saying that.

Jesse: Saying what? You said I wasn't like your last --？

Ashley: My last date. Let's not even go there. We both know the unwritten rules of dating -- you're not supposed to talk about ... let's see, previous dates or boyfriends, no politics

allowed ...

Jesse: ... urn, no religion .... your salary -- that's off the list too ... All the juicy topics, right? .., So ... anyway .... Go ahead, tell me about your last date.

Ashley: Are you sure you want to hear about it?

Jesse: Sure. We all have our horror stories. You go first -- then I'll tell you mine.

Ashley: OK, fair enough. Well, there isn't much to say. My date was thirty minutes late. He talked the whole time --1 couldn't get a word in edgewise. He was that real bossy

type .... had to choose the wine and be the one to call all the shots. Then, at the

end of dinner when we went to pay, he said he'd forgotten his wallet. I had to foot the

entire bill.

Jesse: Sounds like you didn't hit it off.

Ashley: To say the least!

Jesse: What a jerk! ... Well, here's my story and it's even shorter than yours. I was stood up. Ashley: What do you mean? The woman didn't show up? No phone call? Nothing?

Jesse: Nope. We agreed to meet at 7:00 at a restaurant. She never came. When I called her at home later that evening, she was very apologetic. She said she'd forgotten. It didn't

go over too well with me. I have to admit. ... I was reluctant to go on another date

after that experience.

Ashley: We seem to have a "thing" for forgetful types, don't we?

Jesse: Sure sounds like it.

Ashley: Say, to change the subject ... you said you work for the city, right?

Jesse: Yep.

Ashley: How about the latest news ...

Server: Excuse me .... Sorry to interrupt, but are you ready to order?

Jesse: Um, no ... Could you just give us a moment to browse through the menu?

Server: Sure, no problem. Just let me know when you're ready.

Jesse: OK. Hey, why don't we order lunch first and then we can continue our conversation ....

B. Harmony Taylor, the host of the Love Line program on Global Radio, is talking to Dr.

Richard Hartman, author of The Etiquette of Breaking Llp. Listen to the talk and note down the methods for breaking up mentioned.

Ms. Taylor: This is Love Line on Global Radio. I'm Harmony Taylor. My guest today is Dr.

Richard Hartman, author of the bestseller, The Etiquette of Breaking Up.

Thank you for joining us today.

Dr. Hartman: Thank you very much for having me.

Ms. Taylor: Dr. Hartman, breaking up is never easy. So what's the best way to let another person know that you want to end a relationship?

Dr. Hartman: There really isn't a best way. Every situation is different. For example, if you've been dating someone for a while, you should be thoughtful and tell the other

person face-to-face that you want to break up.

Ms. Taylor: Where should you have that face-to-face meeting? In public or in private？

Dr. Hartman: Choosing the location of the break-up is up to you. Just be sure to consider your partner's feelings when choosing a spot.

Ms. Taylor: What do you mean by "consider your partner's feelings"？

Dr. Hartman: Well, if you think he or she may be very emotional, don't meet in a crowded cafe. Choose a more private location, like a quiet park bench.

Ms. Taylor: That makes sense. What if someone is involved in a long-distance relationship that's not working？

Dr. Hartman: In that case, ending the relationship on the phone is an acceptable solution, and perhaps the only way to break it off.

Ms. Taylor: What if you dated someone only once or twice and don't want to see them anymore？Is it OK to break up on the phone too？

Dr. Hartman: Yes. If you want to end a casual relationship, then the phone is a good choice. Ms. Taylor: What should you say during that phone call?

Dr. Hartman: There are many ways to say good-bye, but when you end things, be as kind and respectful as possible.

Ms. Taylor: That's a good rule to follow. And is it polite to end a relationship using email or instant messaging？

Dr. Hartman: in the minds of many people, using email or instant messaging to break up is impersonal and unkind. But the fact is, sometimes, it's the best way to say

"good-bye" or "no thanks" to a relationship.

Ms. Taylor: But it doesn't give the other person a chance to ask questions or even say good-bye to you. Isn't that a selfish way of handling things？

Dr. Hartman: Well, yes, if it's a serious relationship, you shouldn't end it with an email or an instant message. But it's OK if it's just a casual or online relationship.

Ms. Taylor: Do you have any advice about the farewell message?

Dr. Hartman: Think about the effect of your email on the other person. Before you hit Send, read over your message and consider how you'd feel if it were being sent to

you.

Ms. Taylor: And what's the worst way to end a relationship?

Dr, Hartman: Simply avoiding or not contacting someone is probably the worst way to end a relationship.

Ms. Taylor: Why is that?

Dr. Hartman: Well, if you're silent, then it should be quite clear to the other person that you

don't want to see them again. But some people may think that there's still hope

for the relationship to continue.

Ms. Taylor: So how do you prevent such misunderstanding?

Dr. Hartman: Instead of just ignoring them, it's better to be honest and tell the other person.

After all, you started a relationship with this person. So it's your responsibility

to end it the right way.

Ms. Taylor: That's excellent advice. Dr. Hartman, thank you for joining me on Love Line. Unit 4, Lesson B

Online dating rules

TV reporter: Dating in the internet age.

Gray: An unanswered email equals an unanswered telephone call, and will they get the hint7

Raysfield: One of-- maybe the only rule is, don't be obnoxious.

Barnes: You never imply that you're meeting up with another online date, because then that doesn't make them feel special.

TV reporter: While technology may have made meeting your match more convenient, it certainly hasn't made it less complicated.

Gray: Will she send the email first, or will she wait for the man to do it?

TV reporter: Questions like, "Who should pay for dinner?" and "Should you kiss on the first date?" are taking a backseat to a brand new set of issues. Relationship

experts are throwing themselves at the challenge of coming up with

guidelines.

Gray: Basic rules for online dating really come through in, when you're filling out your profile, to be honest and sincere. And that is important because

ifyou're on there looking for a relationship, the more honest you are, the

better match you're going to get.

TV reporter: Lydia Barnes is a three-year veteran of online dating. After going on over 90 dates, she's created her own set of dos and don'ts.

Barnes: The first email should be short; not too in-depth. If someone writes three paragraphs, that's a red flag. You push immediately for the phone call. The

in-person meeting should never be extensive. It should never be at dinner. TV reporter: After more than 100 dates and seven years of cyber romances, Athol Raysfield, a New York schoolteacher, is still struggling with online

etiquette.

Raysfield: It's always a balance. You don't want to seem too eager, but you don't want to seem disinterested, either. 1 like to talk right away. ! always ask for the

phone number right away. Some girls on JayDate and Match that I've seen

have posted, "ifwe get serious, you have to be willing to remove your

profile."

TV reporter: And the breakup? Well, looks like Internet dating has changed the rules for that, too.

Barnes: That's the beauty of online: You just delete people you don't like.

D. Pair work. Listen to the whole interview. Then summarize what Professor Benning and

Mary said.

Judy (Host): Welcome to the program, everyone. Today's featured guest is Al Benning, a professor of anthropology at UCLA. He's working with the city on a new project that many of you may be interested in. Welcome to the program, Al.

Al: Thanks, Judy.

Judy: Start out by telling us about--what this project is called, and what it's all about.

Al: Sure. It's called "Everybody Has a Story." The city approached me about a project to get people to talk about their life experiences. I jumped at the opportunity ... We ended up setting up a booth on Ellis Street downtown for people to come to and tell their stories.

Judy: How does it work exactly? Let's say -- OK, let's say, I want to try it. What do I have to do7

Al: Well, first you should, um ... well, you have to think of a family member, friend, or neighbor -- someone, you know, you think has a story to tell -- that's the first step.

Then, the two of you come to the booth; you interview the person and make a tape recording of what you talk about .... Um, afterwards you get a copy of the recording, and we keep a copy as well. Best of all, it's free.

Judy: It sounds like fun, but what's the purpose of doing this7 1 mean, why ... why interview someone you already know?

Al: Those are good questions. You know, it's like this ... we're all used to reading books or watching TV or movies to learn about history, right7 But today, historians believe that the experiences and memories of everyday people can also teach us something about our history- you know, the stories of regular people like you and me. Recording our own stories is a way for us to save our day-to-day experiences for people in the future to study.

Judy: OK, great. Um .... shall we listen to a clip from one of the interviews now7 Who are we going to hear?

Al: Uh ... sure. This is Cleo and her mother ... um ... actually ... it's Cleo interviewing her mother, Mary and... Mary is talking about her experience working in a Los Angeles cafe in 1957. As an African-American woman living in the United States, of course, she struggled because she wasn't treated equally by whites.

Judy: What's Mary doing nowadays7

Al: She still works in the same cafe -- she ... her job's a lot different now though.

Judy: OK. Let's listen to the clip.

Cleo: So, Mom, you've owned the Crystal Cafe for five years now. That's quite a change from before.

Mary: Yes, it certainly is.

Cleo: When did you start working there .... and what did you do7

Mary: Let's see ... I started in 1957. I worked mostly in the kitchen ... and did, you know, general cleaning ...

Cleo: What else did you do?

Mary: Well ... OK ... i also filled in wherever they needed help. When the dishwasher was sick, I washed the dishes. [fthe sandwich people needed extra help, ! helped them. Cleo: It doesn't sound too bad.

Mary: Well, that part was all right, but you know ... Remember, I never served the customers directly. Wasn't allowed to ... Black people weren't allowed to serve the white folks. I couldn't serve the customers and I definitely couldn't eat there either.

We had to eat somewhere else.

Cleo: Things have really changed since then, haven't they?

Mary: Yes, they have! Now 1 own the cafE! 1 own it) I can eat lunch there every day! Judy: hat's a wonderful story ... We're running out of time, so quickly, please tell our listeners where they can find your booth.

Al: We're located at the corner of Ellis Street and Second Avenue. You can get more information by checking out our web site at www ...

Track 5-5-7

C. Pair work. Now listen to the whole story. Answer the questions and explain your answers

to your partner.

Now, I'm going to read to you a classic short story called "The Monkey's Paw." It was written by the English author,W.W. Jacobs, in 1902. It's a scary story, but it teaches us something. So I'd like you to listen very carefully for the moralof the story.

It was a dark and stormy night. Mr. White and his son, Herbert, were playing chess in their small living room when there was a knock at the door.

Moments later, Mr. White returned to the living room with his friend, a tall, heavy-set man.

"Captain Morris," Mr. White said, introducing his friend.

The middle-aged man shook hands with Mrs. White and Herbert, He then chose a comfortable chair while Mr. White prepared drinks. After his third drink, Morris's eyes got brighter, and he began to tell stories of distant countries. The family listened with interest.

'Td like to travel myself," said Mr. White. "Say...what was that you were telling me the other day about a monkey's paw from India, Morris?"

"Nothing," said the captain quickly. "Anyway, nothing worth hearing."

"Monkey's paw?" said Mrs. White curiously.

"Well," said the captain, "I guess you could say that it's a magic charm...

Morris took the paw out of his pocket and held it up. Mrs. White moved back and frowned.

"What's so special about it?" asked Mr. White.

Morris explained, A oly man in india believed that fate controls our lives, He thought that those who tried to change their fate would be sorry. He put a spell on the paw so that three different men could each have three wishes/'

Have you made your three wishes: asked Herbert, smiliing playfully.

"! have," said the captain quietly, His face turned white.

"And has anybody else wishea: asked Mrs. White.

Morris replied, "The first man made three wishes, yes, I don't know what his first two wishes were, but his third wish was for death, That's how i got the paw."

The group fell silent.

Suddenly, Morris threw the paw into the fireplace. Mr. White cried out and took the paw out of the fire.

'!Let it burn," said the captain solemnly.

"lfyou don't want it, Morris, let me keep it," said Mr. White.

"No. I threw it in the fire for a reason," said the captain, "Throw it back."

Mr. White shook his head, looked closely at the paw and asked, "How do you make a wish?"

Morris sighed~ "Hold it in your right hand and wish aloud," he said, "but I'm warning you -- there will be consequences."

"i don't know what to wish for," said Mr. White.

"Wish for two hundred pounds, father," laughed Herbert.

His father held up the paw. "I wish for two hundred pounds."

Suddenly, Mr. White cried out. "It moved! As I made the wish, the paw moved in my hand like a snake!"

"Well father," said Herbert laughing, "i don't see any money, and I bet I never wi!!."

The next evening, Mrs. White and her husband were waiting for Herbert to come home from work. Mrs. White said,

"i'm sure Herbert will have some more of his jokes about that monkey's paw when he comes home."

"I'm sure he will," replied Mr. White, "but 1'11 say it again, the thing moved in my hand."

His wife didn't answer. She noticed a well-dressed stranger standing by the gate. Mrs.

White hurried to the door.

"! ... i come from Maw and Meggins," the man said nervously.

"The factory? Has something happened to Herbert?" asked Mrs. White, anxiously.

'Tm sorry. Your son was caught in the machinery," the man said quietly. "The company wants me to tell you how

sorry they are for your loss. They wish to give you this check ..."

Mr. White stood up and looked in horror at his visitor. "How much?"

"Two hundred pounds, Sir ..."

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

Unit 1 Starting out Outside view Julie My name's Julie Dearden, and I'm the Director of International Programmes here at Hertford College. Eugene My name's Eugene Berger, I studied here in Oxford for four years er, studying modern languages at Somerville College. Julie Oh, there are many Oxford traditions. Oxford is a very old university, the oldest English-speaking university in the, in the world. And so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example. Eugene Each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. Some colleges are very conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. But there are also some specific traditions. Julie Formal Hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. Usually it takes places at seven o'clock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. But everybody eats together. It's a very beautiful evening because there are, there's a special meal and we eat by candlelight. Eugene I think er, the traditions that make Oxford so unique are firstly the Oxford Union and er, secondly, May Day. The Oxford Union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. Julie My favourite is er, May Day. And May Day is the first day of May, and we have a tradition called May Morning, and on May Morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. There is a choir which sings on top of the tower at Magdalen College and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. So it's very nice. Eugene The tradition that er, was most important to me was probably Summer Eights. I was a rower. And Summer Eights is a rowing competition, held in May in the summer term. And in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river. Julie When the students take exams, they must go to a special building and it's called Examination Schools. And also they must wear a special uniform, so they wear E.gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. The women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. And they must wear this uniform, which has a Latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. Eugene I think the Oxford traditions lend character to the place and it's such an old institution, it should have traditions, but they can be very inconvenient. For example, sub fuse. This is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear. Julie They also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. And they wear different colours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. So when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation. Eugene So we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. And to write an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which you're not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable. Julie I really like the Oxford traditions, I think it's part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacher here at Oxford University. Listening in Passage 1 Interviewer Can you tell me something about the Ivy League? You're a professor at Harvard, is that right?
