Unit One:

Listing tasks:

1. A: Jake Sutton! Is that you, man? How are you?

?B: Hey, Andrew! I didn’t recognize you for a moment. Long time no see!

?A: Y eah, wow, I haven’t seen you since high school graduation! What’ve you been up to? ?B: I’ve been back East, at college.

?A: College? Where?

?B: Boston. B.U.

?A: Oh, cool.

?B: And this past year, I got to go to Spain as an exchange student.

?A: Spain? No kidding? I remember you always hoped for an international lifestyle.

?B: Exactly.

?A: So how was it, amigo?

?B: Oh, man, it was so great. I got to see a lot of Europe.

?A: Y eah? Like where?

?B: All over. Italy, France, Greece, and my homestay family was really nice. They’ve invited me back again if I want to go to graduate school there.

?A: Sounds like we won’t be seeing you for another few more years then, eh?

?B: I dunno. Half of me wants to go. Half of me wants to stay here. Y ou know, when I was there, I missed home a lot more than I thought I would.

?A: I can imagine.

2. A: So, Terry, How have you been?

?B: Good, good.

?A: How are things going? Did you graduate this year?

?B: Me? Nah!I went to State, but after my second year, I realized that what I really want to do is take over for my mom in the restaurant.

?A: Oh, that’s right. Y our family owns a little restaurant. Well, I mean, it’s not so little, but …

?B: So I came back home and started apprenticing as a chef.

?A: Really? That is so cool!Y ou know, now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for you. Even back in high school, you could cook up a storm. So, how is it being in the business?

?B: Well, I love to cook, but, man, I have a lot to learn about running a business. I’m really glad my mom’s around to teach me.

?A: Well, I’ll have to come by to try your cooking. What nights do you work?

?B: Take your pick. I’m there seven nights a week.

3. A: Ken? Ken Mackney, is that you?

?B: Uh, yeah, I’m Ken Mackney.

?A: It’s me. Barry Simmons. Y ou know, Mr. Jones’s calculus class, senior year?

?B: Um, so, how’s it going? What are you up to these days?

?A: I’m pretty busy. I’m working as an accountant in the city.

?B: Oh, that’s great!It sounds like you really put your math skills to good use.

?A: Y eah. And I got married last fall. Hey, you might actually know my wife, Tina Chan, Jason Chan’s little sister?

?B: Tina. Is she the one who went to Harvard Medical School?

?A: No, that was Lisa Fong. Tina went to art school.

?B: Oh! Well, I guess you and Tina are a good match, then. Y ou were always into art, too, weren’t you?

?A: No, not really. That’s my brother Tom you’re thinking of. Y ou don’t remember very

much from high school, do you?

?B: No, I guess not! It’s been a long time!

4. A: Hi, Kate. It’s me, Cindy Lohan. Y ou remember me, don’t you?

?B: Cindy, Cindy. I can’t seem to place the name. Oh, my gosh, yes!I do remember you!But …

?A: But what?

?B: Well, it’s just that you don’t look like the free-spirited Cindy I remember. Y ou look so,

so normal.

?A: Normal? I guess you’re referring to my hair?

?B: Y eah. I mean, you’re just a regular brunette now. When I knew you, you always had your hair dyed some interesting color. Blue one day, pink the next.

?A: Well, I’m a lawyer now. Most judges have a thing against pink hair, so …

?B: I can see your sense of humor hasn’t changed much!

Real world listening:

?Charisse: Karen, I can’t get over how gorgeous you look. I guess you must’ve become an actress, like you always wanted.

?Karen: Thanks, but you’re not going to believe this.

?Charisse: What?

?Karen: Well, I moved away to Hollywood and did the usual waitress thing for a while.?Charisse: Y eah?

?Karen: Eventually, I got a small part in a horror movie, and that’s when I discovered my true calling.

?Charisse: What’s that? Playing zombies?

?Karen: Nope. I’ve become a movie makeup artist!

?Charisse: No way!That’s so amazing! But what made you give up acting?

?Karen: I guess I just prefer working behind the scenes. But enough about me. How are you and Craig?

?Charisse: Craig? Oh, him. Y ou know, we broke up about a year after you left town.

?Karen: Oh, I’m sorry. It just seemed like you two were so eager to get married and start a family.

?Charisse: Funny how that ended up. I was too busy with school and then my job, and we just sort of drifted apart.

?Karen: Huh!So what’ve you been doing all this time, Charisse?

?Charisse: Well, a few years ago I got a great job with an advertising agency. And guess what?

?Karen: What?

?Charisse: They’ve just promoted me. I’m an account executive now!

?Karen: Wow, pretty impressive.

Unit Two:

Listening tasks:

1. A: Oh, my gosh. Y ou won’t believe this!

?B: What? What happened, Katie?

?A: Y ou know that guy Brett, from the football team?

?B: Oh, yeah, the big, dumb jock. What did he do this time?

?A: He gave me a poem.

?B: A poem?

?A: I mean, it’s beautiful!It’s romantic and it’s full of imagery. I just couldn’t believe it came from him.

?B: Y ou got that right. I didn’t even think he could read.

?A: I just found out he plays two musical instruments and speaks French fluently!

?B: Hmm. Well, maybe there’s more to Brett than meets the eye!

2. A: Hey, Jeff, I didn’t know you took dance lessons.

?B: What? How did you know that?

?A: Y our girlfriend showed me some pictures of you dancing.

?B: Man, I told her not to show those to people!

?A: A w, come on. Actually, I think it’s pretty cool. I wish there was something I felt that passionate about.

?B: Really? Y ou know, I love to dance, but I don’t tell my friends about it. Dancing is a private thing for me. It’s just something I do for myself.

3. A: Hey, Kayla. Can I borrow your notes from today’s math class?

?B: Y eah, sure. Just make sure to give them back to me before my band plays tonight. I need time to study.

?A: Did you say your “band”?

?B: Y eah. I’m in a band called Rock Hard. I play the drums.

?A: Y ou’re kidding! Y ou play the drums for a rock band? I never would’ve guessed.

?B: Why? ’Cause I’m a straight A student?

?A: Yeah. I mean, you’re the one everyone comes to for math help. I just assumed you were a …

?B: A nerd?

?A: Well, I don’t know about that.

?B: Don’t worry. I’m not offended. I am a nerd. But who says nerds can’t play the drums?

Real World Listening:

?C: TJ, my man!How’s it goin’?

?TJ: Hey, Cesar. What’s up, dude?

?C: Oh, not much. But you, man. Y ou’re all over the place. I saw you on TV last week. The Pro-Am skateboarding championship. Man, you tore it up on the half-pipe.

?TJ: I guess I did OK. I got second place.

?C: That flip you did was totally awesome. Anyway, I can’t believe you’ve gone pro, man. Y ou’ve totally made it.

?TJ: Y eah, I know. Contests, sponsorships, kids asking for my autograph all the time.

It’s weird.

?C: Sounds like it. But good weird.

?TJ: Y eah. And you won’t even believe what the latest is.

?C: What?

?TJ: Nike wants me to do a commercial. They’ve been calling my agent. Nike, man.

?C: Wow! I don’t believe that. That’s crazy, man. Y ou’ve got it made.

?TJ: Y eah, sorta.

?C: What’s wrong?

?TJ: Well, you know the fame and fortune are great, but sometimes I just want to have my old life back again.

?C: Why? With the way things are going for you?

?TJ: No, but it’s my family and my friends, like you. They think I’m too good for them now. They think I don’t have time for the stuff we used to do, like go to movies and just hang out.

?C: Wow, man. That’s rough. But you know, your life is kinda different now.

?TJ: Sure, I mean, people recognize me and stuff, but I’m still the same person I was before I went pro. I just wish everyone would understand that.

?C: Don’t you like all the attention you’re getting?

?TJ: I dunno, man. The truth is, it’s kind of embarrassing. I guess I’m shy or something.

?C: Y ou? No way, TJ. I thought you lived for the crowds.

?TJ: Nah, it’s the sport I love. I can live without the spectators.

?C: So what are you gonna do, man?

?TJ: Just keep doing what I’m doing. I’ve gotta be true to myself, no matter what anyone else thinks about it.

Unit Three:

Listening tasks:

1. A: So, Amy, how many kids do you and Tom have?

?B: Uh, kids, none. Not yet.

?A: Not yet? Did you say “not yet”? Hey, are you and Tom keeping score here or what?

Y ou must be, what, 35 by now. Clock’s a’tickin’. Tick-tock, tick-tock, you know?

?B: Y eah, I think we’re aware of all that, but it’s kind of complicated. We’ve got our careers right now, and …

?A: Complicated? Y ou think you’re the only people who are trying to juggle careers and family?

?B: No, no. I’m sure we’re not. Just, it’s kind of a personal thing.

2. A: So, Jerry, have you thought about where you’re going to live after you graduate in June?

?B: Uh, yeah. I think I’m going to move back in with my folks, save a little money, you know.

?A: Y our folks? Y ou gotta be kidding!Don’t you think it’s time to leave the nest?

?B: Um, yeah, I guess. But it’s not like it’s gonna be forever. Just until I can save up

enough money to …

?A: I gotta say, man, I think it’s a mistake.

?B: Well, I’ve thought about it a lot, and I really think it’s the best decision for me right now.

?A: But you need to go out on your own, get your own place, find yourself. Y our parents are just going to get in the way.

?B: Well, you know, I’m not the only one moving back home after college. Seems like half the people I know are doing it.

3. A: Excuse me, ma’am.

?B: Y es?

?A: Y our son’s tantrum is disturbing everyone in the store.

?B: I know, I know. I’m trying to calm him down. Bobby, please be a good little boy for Mommy. I’ll give you a nice, yummy cookie if you stop crying.

?A: If you ask me, what your son needs is a little good old-fashioned discipline. A nice spanking will do the job!Y ou know what they say: Spare the rod and spoil the child!

?B: Listen. How I raise my son is none of your business. We don’t believe in using physical violence with our children.

4. A: So, Lucie, do you have anyone special in your life?

?B: No. Not right now. It’s been a while since I’ve dated anybody.

?A: Well, what have you been doing about it? Y ou know, you can’t meet someone sitting at home on your couch on Friday nights eating chocolate ice cream. Y ou’ve got to get yourself out there, girl!

?B: Well, I don’t know. Meeting someone at a bar or club just isn’t for me.

?A: I know! I’m fixing you up with a friend of mine. He’s perfect for you.

?B: That’s OK. I’m not really into blind dates.

?A: Don’t be ridiculous! Y ou’re gonna love him!

?B: Y ou know, I’m not sure I really want to be dating anyone right now.

Real World Listening:

?Part 1. Andrea talks to Jackie.

?Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”What’s your problem?

?Jackie: Hi, I’m Jackie, from Toronto.

?Andrea: Jackie, what’s your problem?

?Jackie: My parents are driving me crazy! I’m in college, and my parents make me come home before midnight. Plus …

?Andrea: Just a second, Jackie. Slow down. Y ou’re in college, you’re living at home, your parents want you home at midnight. What’s wrong with that?

?Jackie: Well, it’s not only that. They always want to know who I’m going out with, and if I’ve done my homework. How can I get them to leave me alone?

?Andrea: Jackie, grow up already. If you live at home, you should follow their rules, or move out of their house. Clear enough?

?Part 2. Andrea talks to Beatrice.

?Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”

?Beatrice: This is Beatrice from Atlanta.

?Andrea: OK, Beatrice. What’s your problem?

?Beatrice: I need some advice about dieting. Every time I go on a diet, I lose a few pounds, but it only lasts a little while.

?Andrea: Uh huh. Go on.

?Beatrice: Once I start eating normally again, I always gain the weight back.

?Andrea: Do you exercise regularly?

?Beatrice: No.

?Andrea: There’s your problem. Y ou can’t lose weight without exercise. Talk to your doctor about an exercise plan, and stick to it.

?Part 3. Andrea talks to Pete.

?Andrea: Andrea Price on “Who Needs Advice.”

?Pete: This is Pete, from Denver.

?Andrea: What’s your problem?

?Pete: Could I ask you something?

?Andrea: That’s what I’m here for.

?Pete: Well, my car has been making funny noises lately. Like this—fffft fffft fffft fffft—but only when it’s moving. When it’s idle, it makes sounds sort of like, vvvttt, vvvtttt, vvvttt.

?Andrea: Look, Pete.

?Pete: I really don’t know what to do.

?Andrea: Look, Pete, I give advice about people, not cars. Y ou need to call a mechanic.

Unit Four:

Listening tasks:

1. My sister is a really strict vegan. It’s not for religious or health reasons. It’s just she’s just a little nuts. Every time she comes over for a family dinner we have to make a special dish just for her. And if, like, the fork we’ve used to serve some meat even touches her plate for a split second, she freaks out and has to get another plate. Recently, she started this new thing where she can’t even eat any vegetables that are cooked. They have to be raw. And she put her cat on a vegan diet, too. The poor thing only eats vegetables. Every time I go over to her place, the cat looks at me with these sad eyes, like, “Meat … please?”

2. My cousin Pat is a professional clown. He goes by the name Patty Cakes. He gets hired to do special events like kids’birthday parties. The thing about Pat is that he just can’t stop being a clown even when he’s not working. He’ll show up at his friend’s house and start making balloon hats for everyone. And then there’s his pet duck, Phoebe. Pat uses Phoebe in his clown act, but sometimes he doesn’t have time to take her home after work, so he just brings her along wherever he’s going. It’s just so strange to see Pat walk in somewhere with Phoebe following behind him wearing a diaper.

3. My Aunt Samantha collects dolls. She’s a real fanatic. Most people have hobbies, you know,

like sports or music or movies, but Aunt Samantha spends all her money on dolls. She has one room in her apartment completely devoted to Barbie dolls. I mean, the whole room is wall-to-wall Barbies!She’s got over a thousand of them lined up on shelves from floor to ceiling. The dolls are all in perfect condition. She stores them in their boxes and never takes them out. It’s kind of scary, actually. When you walk into that room, you just feel surrounded by them. It’s like they’re all watching you or something.

4. My brother Andrew is really into TV and movies and, um ... How can I put this nicely? He can get pretty extreme about it. He’s always pretending to be a character from a movie or TV show. Now, when he was twelve or thirteen, he used to watch the TV show Star Trek all the time, and he’d go around talking exactly like Mr. Spock. Like if I’d say, “Andrew, get out of my room. I’m studying. Y ou’re so irritating.”And he’d say, “Irritating? Ah, yes, one of your earthling emotions.”Stuff like that, a line right out of Star Trek. Now, sometimes, it’s funny. Like now he’s doing Harry Potter voices. But we worry about him a lot. I mean, does he even know who he is? He’s always acting like someone else.

Real world listening:

?Lydia: OK, Greg, I got the wedding invitations back from the printers. Let’s do this!

?Greg: OK, I’m ready.

?Lydia: Got your list?

?Greg: Y eah, I just have a short list, though. Just my parents, and my brother Tim, and his wife, and my sister Tanya, and Jamie, my friend from college, and that’s about it. I can’t think of anyone else that I really want to invite.

?Lydia: Greg, that’s like, what, ten people? Are you joking? This is our wedding.

?Greg: Well, I guess we could invite my mom’s cousin Abigail. She lives nearby, but I don’t know her very well, and she’s kind of crazy. She has, like, fifteen cats.

?Lydia: Greg, if she’s family, you should invite her.

?Greg: I guess.

?Lydia: So, including your mom’s cousin Abigail, you’ve now got a grand total of eleven guests. That just isn’t enough to fill up a reception room.

?Greg: Well, how many people are you inviting?

?Lydia: Um, let’s see. Here’s my list. I’ve got my brother and his wife.

?Greg: Right.

?Lydia: And her parents and relatives.

?Greg: Y ou’re inviting your sister-in-law’s relatives, too?

?Lydia: Greg, this is a family event. Can’t leave anyone out.

?Greg: Can’t leave anyone out?

?Lydia: And then there’s my mother’s two brothers and their families.

?Greg: They’ll come all the way from San Francisco for this?

?Lydia: Oh, absolutely. And then my aunt Chia-Lin.

?Greg: I thought she lived in Shanghai.

?Lydia: She does, but she’ll come for the wedding.

?Greg: Really?

?Lydia: She wouldn’t miss it for the world, and besides, my mother would never forgive

her if she didn’t come to my wedding.

?Greg: Ah.

?Lydia: And then my father will want to invite all his close friends from work.

?Greg: Wait a sec. Y our father’s friends from work are coming? How many is that?

?Lydia: Oh, Greg, he’s in the restaurant business. He’s got so many friends. There must be

like, one, two, three, eight people who work in the restaurant alone, and then the suppliers,

and all of his regular big customers.Maybe eighty or ninety. Something like that.

?Greg: Eighty people!

?Lydia: There’s no way he wouldn’t invite all of them to his daughter’s wedding. It’d be an insult!

?Greg: But I thought we were just inviting family and close friends.

?Lydia: Believe me, my father’s business associates are like family.

?Greg: Wow! How many people are on that list there?

?Lydia: Oh, just a few. This is just like three or four hundred people. I’m trying to keep it small.

?Greg: Gosh, Lydia, where are we going to have this wedding, in Y ankee Stadium?

Unit Five:

Listening tasks:

1. A: Honey, I’ve been thinking.

?B: Huh?

?A: I’ve been thinking. I think I’d like to go back to work.

?B: Really? Why?

?A: Well, the kids are growing up. Jenny is off to university, and Ted is going to be in high school next year.

?B: Uh huh, yeah, right?

?A: Well, I just don’t think I need to be a stay-at-home mom anymore.

?B: But, but who’s going to make dinner and do the laundry, and who’s going to clean the house?

?A: I don’t know, honey, but we’ll figure it out. I’ve been weighing the pros and cons, and now it just seems like the best time to make a change.

2. A: Hey, how’s it going, Frank?

?B: Oh, not too sure.

?A: Oh, what’s the problem?

?B: It’s not really a problem. It’s kind of a good thing, I guess.

?A: Y ou guess?

?B: Well, I applied for a job with a really good engineering firm a couple of months ago, and I talked to the boss yesterday.

?A: Y eah?

?B: And they want to hire me.

?A: That’s great news.

?B: Well, sort of. But the downside is the job’s in Texas. I would have to move. And they

want me to start in six weeks.

?A: Ooh, Texas. That’s really far away. What are you leaning toward?

?B: At this point, I’m seriously considering accepting the offer. But I have until next week to let them know.

3. A: Hey, Jamie, you look stressed out. What’s wrong?

?B: Oh, I have to choose my major this month, and I’m still undecided.

?A: I thought you were majoring in theater. Didn’t you say you wanted to be the next Angelina Jolie?

?B: Y eah, but I changed my mind last semester and started taking more psychology classes.

?A: Well, why don’t you do that? Y ou could be the next Sigmund Freud, the female version.

?B: I would, but I don’t know. I’m taking a really great physics class this semester. I totally love it.

?A: Then why not do physics?

?B: So I could be the next Albert Einstein, right? I don’t know about that, either. I kinda want to take some French classes. Y eah, that sounds good! Maybe I should major in French. Although, if I take French, then I can’t really take the physics. And I mean, theater still is really fun.

4. A: What do you think about getting a puppy, Rick?

?B: A puppy? Why would we do that?

?A: Well, I was at the supermarket today, and there was this guy with a box of Labrador puppies out front, and they were so cute.

?B: Y eah, of course they’re cute. Puppies are always cute. But they’re messy, too.

?A: I know, but you should have seen them. Their little tails and their little faces.

?B: The problem with a puppy is that it eventually becomes a dog, a big dog. What’s a big dog gonna do in our little apartment?

?A: We’ll take it for walks. It’ll be great. C’mon.

?B: I don’t know. I’ll think about it. Why don’t we get a cat instead?

?Real World Listening :

?Our topic today is decision making.We make decisions every day, right? Maybe about simple, personal things like which train to take to work or should you get a puppy as a pet, and also more complex things like what to major in at college or whether to take a job offer in a new city. We’re going to look at four dimensions of the decision-making process, OK? Approach, information, risk, and decisiveness.

?The first dimension is approach, or the way that you view the decision-making process.

There are two types of decision makers here: originators and adapters. Adapters tend to think in terms of the minimum change necessary to produce the results they want. They stick with ideas that have worked in the past. Originators, on the other hand, tend to produce decisions that are less similar to past ideas. They make decisions that seem unique and creative.

?The second dimension is information. What kind of information do you need to make a decision? Are you a concrete information processor or an abstract information processor?

Concrete information processors need complete and detailed information before making a decision. They prefer to work with clear, absolute, and exact facts and values. Abstract

information processors, on the other hand, focus on the big picture and general information before they make their decision.

?The third dimension is risk. What kind of risk taker are you when you make a big decision? How do you deal with struggles and challenges when you face a tough decision?

Two types of risk takers here: conciliators and challengers. Conciliators prefer to be cautious and avoid risks. They avoid taking actions that might involve losing too much.

The other type is the challenger. And a challenger will take a more extreme and risky choice in order to get a greater gain, even if the situation has a good chance of turning out badly.

?The fourth dimension is decisiveness—how fast you make the decision, and how quickly you take steps towards implementing your decision. For this dimension, the two types of decision makers are called organized and flexible. Organized decision makers are quick to choose—bang, come on, make a decision—and also quick to act upon their decisions: OK, let’s do it!They commit their energy and time sooner than others. Flexible decision makers, on the other hand, are slow to choose and also slow to act upon their decisions.

?They tend to change plans frequently, and they also procrastinate or postpone their plans unless they become absolutely necessary.

?So that’s the theory: four dimensions of decision making. Where do you stand in each dimension? There’s no right or wrong way to make a decision, but by understanding our own decision making styles, we can make more effective, well-informed, and conscious decisions.

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.

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

一、Passage A Translation 无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？ 在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具总动员》的电影。我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明父亲不可能离开太长时间。影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。 新闻媒体倾向于把父亲边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。大卫·布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。 职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。与此同时，媒体上绝大多数与父亲有关的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲形象。看起来似乎父亲唯一值得人们提及的是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟，给汽车换机油或其他一些典型的由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答，这一词语只有在葬礼上听到过。 这种“无需父亲”综合征的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出正在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家糊口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。 我们用来讨论父亲的角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女性，同样也适应于男性。我们这个社会表现出的是，似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不像对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。 更让人感到侮辱的是最近媒体的这种倾向，即把家庭主妇看成是一种“地位的象征”——就像一辆名贵的汽车，据说只有少数男人才享受得起这种奢侈与豪华。这暗示家里有家庭主妇的男人比那些妻子在外工作的男人日子过得更舒适，因为他们拥有全职管家这种“奢侈品”。然而，实际上作为家庭唯一挣钱者的男人要承受很多压力。当他们的那份工作是家庭收入的唯一来源的时候，失业，或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁，对他们而言也构成了巨大的困难。同样，家庭唯一的工资收入者在想辞去不太满意的工作时，其灵活程度也要小一些，因为这种工作变换会使他们失去收入。此外，为了给家庭挣更多的钱，许多丈夫超时工作或兼做第二职业。对于这些男人来说，正是这份工作所支撑的家庭，使他们觉得值得付出。
