Part 2 Passages

Passage 1 Instant Coffee

When coffee arrives at an instant coffee factory it has already been roasted and ground. In the factory, water is slowly passed through the coffee. The resulting* liquid is then repeatedly pumped through tubes at a very high temperature and pressure. The liquid is boiled and sugar, salt and a variety of chemicals are carefully added. This makes some of water evaporate*, leaving very strong coffee liquor*.

To make instant coffee powder, the coffee liquor is poured through large cylindrical* driers at a temperature of 250-C. The heat evaporates the liquid, leaving instant coffee powder, which is collected and put into jars.

Granulated* coffee is made by freeze-drying, The process is a secret one and is passed from one family of manufacturers to the next. The coffee liquor is rapidly frozen into blocks. After these have been broken up into very small pieces, they are dried in a vacuum. This removes the water without heat, leaving instant coffee granules*.

Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences.

1,B 2. A 3. C 4, C 5. D 6. D 7. B 8. A

Passage 2 Tinned Tomato Soup

Tinned tomato soup is horrible. Why not make your own? It's dead easy, and it tastes delicious.

You need some onions*, some tomatoes, butter or margarine*, salt, pepper*, some wine, and any herbs* that you feel like putting in.

The first thing to do is to pour yourself a glass of wine. Then chop*

the onions up small, wash the tomatoes carefully -------------------------------------------------------- y ou don't know

what sort of chemicals they've had on them, do you? — and cut them into quarters. Then you I'm sorry, I didn't say how many tomatoes, did I?

My book says 700 grams for four to six people, but I don't find that's enough, because the soup's so good that everybody asks for more. So I usually make twice as much. If they don't eat it all you can always freeze it. I use about one and a half kilos of tomatoes, and two or three big onions, or five or six small ones. You must have enough onions — that's what makes the soup taste good,

OK, so you chop the onions and cut the tomatoes into quarters. When you've done that, you put some butter in a big saucepan — or you can use margarine or oil instead, if you prefer put it on a low heat and fry* the onions and garlic gently for three or four minutes. Yeah, sorry, 1 should have said — you need two cloves* of garlic, chopped up small or crushed*. You might like to throw in a piece of bacon rind* as well. Keep stirring* everything gently while it's frying.

After three or four minutes, put the tomatoes into tile saucepan, and pour in some water about a quarter of a litre. A bit more if the tomatoes aren't very juicy. Add plenty of salt and pepper, and herbs if you want to.

Stir everything thoroughly, put the lid on the saucepan, and bring it to the boil* Then leave it to cook slowly over a low heat for an hour or so. Pour yourself another glass of wine.

When it's ready -= you can tell if it's ready, because everything's soft and it smells terrific —when it's ready, take it off the cooker and strain* it carefully through a sieve*. Actually, it's best if you've got one of those little machines where you turn a handle and it pushes everything through a round metal plate with little holes in — you know what I mean?

Put the soup back into the saucepan and see whether it needs any more salt. Then bring it to the boil again. Cook it gently for two or three minutes; keep stirring it. When you serve it, you can mix in some milk if

you like, but I don't bother ----------------------------- I think it's nice as it is. You're supposed to

make croutons* as well — you know, little squares of toast or fried

bread ---------- but I don't bother about that either. It's too much trouble. Do try

it. You'll thank me.

Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) In a mental asylum. 2) He was a member of a committee which went there to show concern for the pertinents there. 3) They were cants behaving like humans. 4) He was injured in a bus accident and became mentally ill. 5) He spent the rest of his life in comfort. B. painter, birds, animals, cats, wide, published, encouragement, A year or two, The Illustrated London News, cats' Christmas party, a hundred and fifty, world famous 【原文】 Dan Rider, a bookseller who loved good causes, was a member of a committee that visited mental asylums. On one visit he noticed a patient, a quiet little man, drawing cats. Rider looked at the drawings and gasped. "Good lord, man," he exclaimed. "You draw like Louis Wain!" "I am Louis Wain," said the artist. Most people today have never heard of Louis Wain. But, when Rider found him in 1925, he was a household name. "He made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world," said H. G. Wells in a broadcast appeal a month or two later. "British cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves." Before Louis Wain began drawing them, cats were kept strictly in the kitchen if they were kept at all. They were useful for catching mice and perhaps for keeping the maidservant company. Anyone else who felt affection for cats usually kept quiet about it. If a man admitted that he liked cats, he would be laughed at. The dog was the only domestic animal that could be called a friend. Louis Wain studied art as a youth and became quite a successful newspaper and magazine artist. He specialized in birds and animals, including dogs, but never drew a cat till his wife was dying. They had not been married long, and during her illness a black-and-white cat called Peter used to sit on her bed. To amuse his wife, Louis Wain used to sketch and caricature the cat while he sat by her bedside. She urged him to show these-drawings to editors, fie was unconvinced, but wanted to humour her. The first editor he approached shared his lack of enthusiasm. "Whoever would want to see a picture of a cat?" he asked, and Louis Wain put the drawings away. A year or two later he showed them to the editor of The Illustrated London News, who suggested a picture of a cats' Christmas party across two full pages. Using his old sketches of Peter, Louis Wain produced a picture containing about a hundred and fifty cats, each one different from the rest. It took him a few days to draw, and it made him world famous. For the next twenty-eight years he drew nothing but cats. He filled his house with them, and sketched them in all their moods. There was nothing subtle about his work. Its humour simply lay in showing cats performing human activities; they followed every new fashion from sea bathing to motoring. He was recognized, somewhat flatteringly, as the leading authority on the feline species. He became President of the National Cat Club and was eagerly sought after as a judge at cat shows. Louis Wain's career ended abruptly in 1914, when he was seriously injured in a

Video Script------------------------------10.25 Pirates of the Internet It’s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now the hign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America’s movie studios know that if they don’t do som ething----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: “What’s really at stake for the movie industry with all this privacy?” Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.” Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know how many movies are being downloaded today, in one day, in the United States?” Chernin: “I think it’s probably in the h undreds of thousands, if not millions.” Correspondent: “And it’s only going to grow.” Chernin: “It’s only going to grow. Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet. A perfect digital copy, all right. And with the click of mouse, send out a million copies all over the world, in an instant.” 5 And it’s all free. If that takes hold, kiss Hollywood goodbye. Chernin

If it had not been for your help and encouragement, I am afraid that I would not have made remarkable progress in English throughout the school year.

Moreover, not only did you help me find out a feasible way to improve my English, but you also made plans and set goals to achieve my full potential in learning English. Again, many thanks for all the things you have done for me. May everything go well with you.

B. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be! And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!

Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,”Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2

Three million. That's a lot of money isn't it Do you think that three million dollars would make you happy? … I'm asking you this because when you ask people what they need to be happy, many people will answer" more money!" We assume that money will make us happier. But is this true Will winning the lottery help you achieve happiness? Today we're going to look at the idea of happiness, at the psychology of happiness--what makes some people happier than others. We'll look at three personality factors that we find in happy people. To find out about these personality factors, psychologists talked to hundreds of people. Now, first, they asked the people how happy they felt--you know, from "very happy" to "not happy at all."
