Long conversation

M: So what do you think? Should Vietnam invest heavily in communications technology?

W: Hm?

M: Vietnam, the country…

W: I know about the country. I learned about it in school, But I don’t have the foggiest notion of what you’re talking about.

M: The Vietnamese Government is putting a lot of money into communications technology-you know, the Internet, mobile phone lines and the like,.

W: OK, so what’s the problem?

M: it’s a really poor country-most people there don’t have much as our family-and many people outside of the country are saying the government should do more to help poor people. I, for one, find the government’s actions unbelievable. So…

W: So what?

M: So, do you have any ideas? I’d like to know you think.

W: I think that the Vietnamese government is independent of outside influence and can do what it likes.

M: The question isn’t if it can or can’t do it. The question is what it SHOULD do?

W: I don’t know, man. I guess, well, I have a new computer, a mobile phone, the internet, a mess of other technology. And I like these things. The Vietnamese might like them too, and maybe make good use out of them.

Passage

The “information highway”, the” information superhighway”, the” interweb”, the”internet”…all of these words have come to identify the same thing-the widespread connection of computers and information from around the world. And as our understanding of this connection has changed, so too have the terms we’ve used to describe it.

The information highway was a term used especially in the 1990s to describe the Internet. The official project was dubbed the National Information Infrastructure and went beyond the interconnectivity of just computer; the scope broadened to include all types of data transmission between a plethora of places, people, and devices. It is often associate with the Unit States politician and former vice president. Al Gore, who promoted funding for programs that led to aspects of me development of the Internet. Although its currency was wider than merely Goer-many police organizations made pronouncements about the so-called information highway or the variant information superhighway, both terms are used less frequently now that for many people the Internet has become a less abstract and more concrete thing; the highway analogy, though useful and

apt, has perhaps serve its purpose.

Task 1

W: Have a seat, Mr. Johnson. Now, what’s the problem?

M: Well, as I told you on the phone, I’m having a bit of trouble with my landlord. W: Yes! What sort of trouble?

M: Well, when I moved in six month ago, he said he was going to fix up tow or three things that needed doing.

W: What sort things exactly?

M: Well, there was no ventilation in the kitchen and the hot water system wasn’t working properly.

W: And he said he’d have them attended to?

M: Yes, that’s right. He agreed to have them done. But now six months have gone by and still nothing has bee done.

W: Um…so he’s broken his promise.

M: Yes, and not only that. Now that lease has run out, he wants to increase the rant by $10 a week!

W: Well, he can’t do that without your agreement, you know.

M: Yes, I know that, but the trouble is he can evict me if I don’t agree.

W: Yes, that’s true, he can. However, eviction is easier said than done.

M: You mean it could be difficult for him?

W: Yes, he can’t just throw you out the street. He has to give you reasonable notice, usually a month.

Task 2

People who want to find love on the internet often do so because the want people to know them “for who they really are”, rather than what they look like. These people believe that it is the inside of person that is, the intellect and heart of a person, that should be the deciding factor in love. The outside shouldn’t matter.

This belief can be found in the famous story of “Beauty and the Beast”. “Beauty and the Beast”is a German fairy tale about a beautiful and gentle young woman who is taken to live with a man-beast in return for the Best sparing her father’s life when he accidentally insults him. Beauty is kind to the well-mannered Beast, but pines for her family until the Beast allows her to visit them. Once home, Beauty delays her return until she hears that Beast is dying without her. She returns to the Beast and restores him to health. When she agrees to marry the Beast, the evil spell upon him is broken, and he becomes a handsome prince. Beauty and her prince live happily ever after.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案 Unit 1 Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong?' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.b Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy? 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother? 3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy? Exercise 2: 1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer." 2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled. 2) She had told her lady friends about this. Text 2 Dating with My Mother (Part Two) We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. 'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.

新视野第三册答案 Unit 1 Section A. The Expensive Fantasy of Lord Williams 《读写教程III》:Ex. II, p. 9 1. Because this is a title bought with stolen money. The guy‘s real name is Anthony Williams. 2. It‘s small, with a population of only 320. 3. No. He looks like a Scottish noble, soft-spoken and wealthy. 4. The truth is that the man with endless money and a friendly manner was not a lord at all but a government employee living out a fantasy that he was a Scottish noble and paying for it by stealing funds from Scottish Yard. 5. He stole more than eight million pounds over eight years and poured about five million pounds into the village. 6. Most of the stolen money was supposed to be used to pay spies and conduct secret activities against the Irish Republican Army. 7. He used the money to buy an estate, a beautiful home, and a dozen noble titles. But most of all, he sunk his dishonest gains into the village, buying multiple cottages, a pub and a run-down hotel and turning them into very good-looking places. 8. His bank deposits were so large that they were noticed by the bank‘s management. The bank then notified the police, who discovered that the criminal was one of their own. 9. Because in the eyes of some villagers Williams is a helper, pouring most of his stolen money into the village and giving jobs to 43 people. 10. He said in an interview after he was arrested: ―I discovered this bloody huge amount of money. I went from the need to pay off a few debts to what can only be described as greed.
