Part 3 Passage Cycling Accidents

Exercise A:

1. What do young children often find difficult to do when riding bicycles?

2. When choosing a bike for a child, what should you ensure?

3. How old should a child be when the child is allowed out on the road on a bike?

4. What do you know about the Cycling Proficiency Test?

5. Before a child is allowed out alone, what should he be able to do?

6. What is parent’s advice to their children when they are out on a bike in the dark?

7. What is the parents’ responsibility?

8. What can be life-saving?

Exercise B:

1. Make sure that your child’s bike has the right size of frame and that the saddle and handlebars are correctly adjusted. When sitting on the sad dle, a child’s feet should comfortably touch the ground and hands must be able to work the brake levers.

2. For night-time riding, lights must be working and reflectors must be clean. Tapescript:

Cycling accidents often happen because children are allowed out on the roads before they’re really ready. After all, it takes time to learn to ride a bike safely, and riding safely means much more than just staying on. For example, a child must be able to turn and look behind, and do hand signals without wobbling. And at the same time as handling the bike safely, the child must be able to cope with the roads and traffic.

How to prevent accidents? Make sure that your child’s bike has the right size of frame and that the saddle and handlebars are correctly adjusted. When sitting on the saddle, a child’s feet should comfortably touch the ground and hands must be able to work the brake levers. Make sure children can ride safely and can cope with roads and traffic before you let them out along. As a general rule, children under nine years old should never be allowed out on the roads on a bike alone. An adult should always be with them.

Encourage your child to go in for a Cycling Proficiency Test. You can get details of courses from your Road Safety Officer at your local authority. Look in your telephone directory for the local authority number. But remember that these courses are often fun in school playgrounds, so it’s important to make sure that what’s learnt is then put into practice on the roads. Make sure that your child understands road signs.

Explain, for example, that “crossroads” does not mean “cross the road”. Words like “one-way street” and “traffic island” can also be difficult for children to understand. Make sure that your child wears reflective clothing when out on a bike,

especially in the dark or in bad weather. For night-time riding, lights must be working and reflectors must be clean.

Bicycle maintenance can be life-saving. It’s up to parents to check their children’s bikes regularly and get repairs done pr operly. Teach your child, too, to check brakes and lights regularly.

8. Why should Mr. White make most of it while the garden was peaceful and quiet? (Because peace and quiet would be hard to find in the garden pretty soon.) Tapescript:

Mrs. White: How did your writing go this morning? Is the book coming along all right?

Mr. White: I’m not sure. I think the rest of it will be difficult to write. There are still some problems to solve.

Mrs. White: I expect you’ll find the answers interesti ng to work out.

Mr. White: If I can work them out. Thank goodness the house is easy to work in. I shall at least be able to think.

Mrs. White: You’ve forgotten something. Peace and quiet will be difficult to guarantee much longer.

Mr. White: Good, heavens, yes. The school holidays start in a week, don’t they? The house will be impossible to work in while they last.

Mrs. White: Well, some extra noise is hard to avoid. But I’ll keep them away from the study as much as I can. That’ll be all right to work in.

Mr. White: What about the garden? It was beautifully peaceful and quiet out there this morning.

Mrs. White: Well, you’d better make the most of it while it lasts. Peace and quiet will be hard to find in the garden pretty soon, I’m afraid.

Part 2 Retelling

To the American people, education is very important. The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.

However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.

The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.

Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in the nation’s elementary schools and high schools. Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job-training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.

Section 4 Supplementary Exercises

Part 1 Listening Comprehension My Nephew

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

1. What did Tony’s uncle intend to do for Tony’s birthday this year?

2. What did Tony’s uncle buy for his birthday the year before last?

3. Why were Tony’s parents unthankful for the gift?

5. What did he suddenly spot in a shop?

6. How did his uncle persuade Tony to change his mind?

7. What did Tony look like when his uncle saw him fifteen minutes later?

8. What can be inferred from the passage?

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

Tapescript:

This year I decided to do something to regain my reputation as a kindly uncle. My nephew, Tony, had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His parents had no reason to be grateful to me either ?because the year before, I had presented their dear son with a pot of paste* and some funny pictures .Instead of sticking* them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, therefore, I decided to let him choose for himself.

We went into a big toy shop but Tony was highly critical of everything he saw. In vain* did I show him toy after toy; he was not to be tempted*. Then I saw his eyes light up: he had discovered something he really did approve of: a large tin drum. I was quite pleased, too, until I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any sleep for weeks. I led Tony away quickly, saying that the drum was too expensive. If that was how I felt, Tony replied jokingly, then I could buy him the big model railway in the shop window. Now that was really expensive, so I quickly changed the subject.

Tony asked for permission to go off on his own and I made the most of my opportunity to sit down and rest my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get worried and got up to look for him, I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked about her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many little boys in grey suits. I was just beginning to despair*, when I saw a strange figure dressed in peculiar purple* clothes. The figure was wearing a false beard and a cave man’s* axe* in one hand, and a space gun in the other. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me at once that he was the first cave man to fly into space.

Part 2 Oral Work

In a recent broadcast, I heard a woman say that she felt guilty because she spent

￡20 at an auction sale. She was afraid her husband might accuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend ￡20 as her husband. Sometimes both husband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself.

Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.

D o you agree with the speaker that the woman’s attitude is wrong?

Part 3 Video Mars Rover: “A Mars Scientist’s Dream Machine”

1. What’s the name of the Mars rover that was launched by the American space agency in November 2011?

It is known as “Curiosity”.

2. Where is it supposed to land?

It is supposed to land at the foot of a mountain within a deep, 150-kilometer-wide hole called Gale Crater.

3. What energy is used to support the Mars rover’s many activities and how long will the power last?

The nuclear reactor supports the Mars rover’s many activities and it can maintain the operation of the rover for about two Earth years/one Martian year.

4. What are the tasks of the Mars rover?

They are: 1) collecting sample rocks and soil on Mars; 2) measuring the chemical make-up of rocks and soil; 3) looking for any organic material that might be present and the habitable environment for microorganisms.

5. Give a brief description of the new rover.

The new rover is a car-sized vehicle—much larger than the early ones. It contains a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor that will provide plenty of power for scientific activities. The vehicle also has 17 cameras, a laser and a big six-foot robotic arm. Inside the rover, there are two very capable scientific laboratories.

Tapescript:

The American space agency launched its Mars Science Laboratory, also known as “Curiosity,” in November of 2011. The car-sized vehicle is supposed to land on Mars in August 2012. This computer model shows what scientists expect will happen when the spacecraft carrying "Curiosity" reaches the red pl anet. Curiosity” is

supposed to land at the foot of a mountain within a deep, 150-kilometer-wide hole called Gale Crater. Deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada tells about “Curiosity.”

“This is a Mars scientist’s dream machine. We’re so excited to have this rover going to Mars this year. It’s going to be the virtual presence for over 200 scientists around the world to explore Mars and Gale Crater that we’ll talk about. This rover is not only the most tech nically capable rover ever sent to another planet, but it’s actually the most capable scientific explorer we’ve ever sent out.”

“Curiosity” is much larger than earlier rovers. It has a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor that will provide plenty of power for “Curiosity’s” many activities. The vehicle also has 17 cameras, and a laser that can examine the chemical make-up of rocks.

“What really dominates the design of this rover is the fact that it has this ability to sample rocks and soils on Mars for the first time, and so it has a big six-foot [1.8 meter] robotic arm. And the rover is partly that big because it holds two very capable scientific laboratories inside the rover.”

One instrument measures the minerals in rocks and soil. Another looks for chemicals and any organic material that might be present. The goal of the experiment is to learn if Mars ever had environmental conditions that could have supported microorganisms.

“This mission is really about looking for those habitable environments, and not detect ing life itself.”

Vasavada says the mountain within Gale Crater will provide plenty of information about the development of Mars. That is because each layer of rock contains new clues.

“It has some geologic evidence that water was around. We hope, in fact,to search for organics with this mission. That’s another requirement for life as we know it.”

The nuclear reactor on “Curiosity” has enough power to operate on the surface of Mars for about two Earth years, which is the same as one Martian year.

补充阅读：职业访谈与工作面试是一回事吗

说起职业访谈（Informational Interview），很多人都不清楚是什么意思。这个词最早由北美著名职业指导专家Richard Nelson Bolles在他那本为许多职业辅导专业人士参考的经典职业辅导畅销书《What Color Is Your Parachute》中首次使用。他所指的是，即在找工作之前，为了解该职业或者行业现状，直接与已经在那个

工作岗位，公司或行业的人约见会谈，以期评估自己是否适合该项职业的一种“投石问路”的直接途径。

这其实和传统工作面试Job（Interview）没有一点关系。在他的书中指出，大多数人是在进入工作岗位以后才开始了解自己从事的工作，行业和雇主，当发现自己并不适合时已经是进退若谷。而职业访谈正是在挑选专业，转工作，转行以及转公司以前搜集信息，了解行情的最佳方式。

职业访谈可以得到什么?

你通常可以从职业访谈达到这些目标：

1. 深入了解该行业，该职位所需的技能，证书，经验，教育背景，以及行业规则，作息特点，工作范畴，发展空间，行业走势等等从一般教科书和网站上看不到的内容。接受访问的人可能不会对你说太多，但是所说的大多是精要所在，绝对的“现身说法”，信息准确性及参考价值都比较高。

2. 和一个在职人士面对面交谈，扩大人际网络，还有可能认识到可以做重要决定的管理层人员。了解该雇主的真实要求，而不是招聘信息中千篇一律的陈词滥调。如果你将来真的来这里应聘，你在工作面试中会有把握、有信心得多。

3. 由于你不是来做工作面试的，你的心情会更轻松，更能展示真实的自我，反而留下可能令你自己都吃惊的好印象，说不定能够带来一份工作。这对那些对自己临场反应和语言表达有顾虑的朋友是一个锻炼的好机会。另一方面，被访的人往往会更轻松，更自然地和你交谈，在这种状态下会为你提供最有意义的信息。

4. 由于你主要目的是搜集信息，所以在整个过程由你控制，你决定问什么问题，以及如何使用这些得到的答案。

5. 职业访谈除了能够搜集到第一手的宝贵信息之外，还帮助你扩展人际关系网络乃至得到一份工作的机会。据统计，每发两百到五百个简历能够得到一份工作，而每十二个职业访谈就可以引出一个Job Offer。两种方式相差这么大的比率，而后者却是少人尝试的，不能不让人思考。

经验分享

有的朋友会问，有工作的人都那么忙，谁会有时间和耐心来应付我们这些新人，特别是那些位高权重的要人怎么会愿意付出宝贵的时间？或者说，工作难找的情况下，谁会无缘无故把内部消息透露给不相识的人，让他们成为自己潜在的竞争者？的确，这也是我本人在探究职业访谈的时候的忧虑和担心。但是通过我自己的亲身体验，事实却让我振奋。以下就是我要与你分享的经验。

我最近在了解职业顾问（Career Counsellor）这项职业的过程中，通过在网上的搜寻调查和其他朋友的推荐，我锁定了几个访问对象。他们分别是著名猎头公司，职业培训和人力资源管理顾问公司和大银行里面做招聘的总裁或负责人，正在从事或者管理着类似的职业顾问生意。我发了电子邮件过去，出乎我的意料，数天

内四人中有三人回复表示愿意抽出时间来见我（请注意，我和他们素昧平生）。于是在接下来的几个星期中，按照约定时间，我带着自己的简历到他们办公的地方和他们分别进行了半小时左右的访问。通过浏览我的简历，他们很快了解到我的背景并且捕捉到我的长处，然后从他们自己的经历和角度出发，有针对性地解答了我的问题，提供了很多具体的建议（有的信息具体程度让我非常吃惊）。而且访问结束前，应我的要求，他们给我介绍几个对我可能更有帮助的人，让我有目的性地去找更多的专业人士进行访问。有了他们的推荐，下一次的访问就更加顺利和有收获。

其中我注意到一个有趣的现象，所有的接受访问者都是清一色的白人。我本来极想找一个中国人，或者亚裔人士，看看他们是怎么入行，如何在一个西人占主流的行业立足发展，但是迄今还没有找到。我想大概由于这个职业通常需要心理学（Psychology），社会服务（Social Service），专业辅导学（Professional Counselling），人力资源管理（Human Resource Management）等学历背景，对语言，文化，软性知识要求太高，对中国大陆移民来讲难度较大。而且这类职业在国内也是凤毛麟角，极其罕见（不是普通的职业中介或介绍所），大多数人都不太熟悉。通过这些职业访谈，让我对“职业顾问”这个职业有了更清晰的认识和了解，也知道自己需要怎样才能踏入那个门槛。这只是我个人的一个奋斗目标，你一定也有自己喜欢的职业，不妨也去尝试一下类似的职业访谈，我相信对你会有很大帮助和启迪的。

Part 2 Listening for Gist For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular. Exercise Directions: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide. 1.This passage is about the early history of flying.

Unit3 Section One Tactics for Listening Part2 Listening and Note-taking A Territory When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals. First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor. Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them. Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us. Exercise A: 1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. 2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country. 3. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house.
