Unit 1

In one town, there were three longtime friends, Pat, Mike and Bob. Pat and Bob were quite bright, but Mike was rather dull.

One day as Pat and Mike were walking down the sidewalk together, Pat put his hand on a

solid brick wall and said, "Mike, hit my hand as hard as you can." Mike struck a hard blow, but Pat pulled his hand away from the wall just before Mike's fist hit it. Of course, it hurt Mike's

hand very much when he hit the wall, but Pat said, "That was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"

Mike agreed, but was not too happy.

The following day Mike and Bob were walking in the town square. Mike decided to play the joke on Bob. He looked around, and seeing no solid object, he placed his hand over his face and said, "Bob, hit my hand as hard as you can." Bob agreed, and as he struck a hard blow with his fist, Mike quickly pulled his hand away and was knocked to the ground, unconscious. After a

few minutes Mike recovered, and saw Bob worriedly looking down at him. Mike said, "That

was a good joke on you, wasn't it?"

Questions:

1. Who was NOT clever?

2. What did Pat ask Mike to do?

3. Who was hurt finally?

4. On whom was Mike going to try this joke?

5. Where did Mike put his hand when he asked Bob to hit him?

6. What happened to Mike after Bob struck a hard blow with his fist?

If you like, you can do tricks at a party and be announced as, "The Magician". When everybody wants a bit of fun but nothing really happens, it could be the time to play one of these tricks. You won't need any special materials, nor will you need to practice them very much.

A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend:

Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend knows the trick! Your last friend removes the coin when he or she seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone!

A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil:

Say that you can communicate your thoughts to people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into

your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask someone if he or she knows what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote on the paper No!"

A trick with an egg and some salt:

Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!"

When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken.

Questions:

1. What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick?

2. What happens to the coin?

3. How does the magician prove that he can communicate thoughts to the audience in the

second trick?

4. What is the first step to make the egg stand?

5. What else is needed to make the egg stand?

John: Do you feel like going to the cinema, Liz?

Liz: Oh...yes...yes, let's do that, John.

John: Well, what shall we go and see?

Liz: What kind of film do you like?

John: Well, I like all sorts of films really... My favorite films are like Star Wars, you know, the...the fantasy, special effect ones that you can escape into another world with. Um...I

also like mystery films. Do you like mystery films?

Liz: I really like mystery films, yes, but I don't like horror films because they give me nightmares.

John: Yes, I know. I don't like horror films either. I tell you, I just think they're sort of stupid and unbelievable. I do like...um...crime films, you know, ones where you follow the

detective and try to guess who the murderer is. Like...like Agatha Christie stories, you

know. And also where you take the side of the criminals. Do you know the ones I mean?

You know, where you wonder if you're going to get...if they're going to get caught. You

know, like a bank robbery or something like that.

Liz: Haha. Do you think there's a film with Robert Redford or Paul Newman in it?

John: Oh, I hope not.

Liz: 'Cause I really... Oh, don't you like them?

John: Well, I tend to prefer people like Clint Eastwood and...

Liz: Oh, no! I'm not keen on him at all!

John: Really?

Liz: No... What about a good comedy or a good musical, something like that?

John: No, no, I don't like films like that really.

Liz: The trouble is there are not many very good ones around these days...

John: Then what shall we go and see?

Liz: Why don't we ring up the ABC Cinema and find out what's on? Then we can decide. John: That's a good idea...but I haven't got an evening paper. That's definitely the thing to do.

Gerry: I've just been to see Gone with the Wind. It was fantastic. Well worth seeing. Have you ever seen it?

Judy : No, but I've read the book. I don't think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil the story for me.

Gerry: Really? Oh, give me a film any day. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the book of it, I'd go for the film.

Judy : Would you?

Gerry: Yes. It's much more real. You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location shots, period costumes, the right accents. All that. Don't you

think so?

Judy : Not really, no. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can imagine how I want it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight

into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person's character is lost on film

because you never know what he or she is thinking.

Gerry: True, but...well... I don't know. It's much easier going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take me a week to read the book. Judy : I know, but it's so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays.

Gerry: I know, but it's a social event. It's fun. You can go with your friends. When you read a book you have to do it on your own.

Judy : All right. Let's agree to differ. I'll get some coffee...

(The following is an interview from a weekly sports program.)

Presenter: Good morning, listeners. Welcome to our weekly sports

program aimed at all those under-active youngsters with

time on their hands! Listen to what our two guests have to

say about their own sporting pursuits and how sport made

a difference to their lives. Debbie first, then, Jonathan.

Debbie: I like doing something that gets you out into the

countryside. So I'm for horse-riding whenever I can! It's

quite an expensive hobby, though. You have to pay for

the instruction and the hire of the horse and the

equipment—and there is quite a lot of that, but I think it's

a great sport because you're out of doors and working

with animals. I used to be actually scared of horses until I

took up riding; now I adore them! When I've saved up

enough money I'm going to buy a pony of my own.

Another advantage of riding is that disabled people can

enjoy it too. It's great fun teaching them to ride; it makes

you feel you're doing something really worthwhile. It's

made me more aware of other people's problems and now

I don't worry about my own so much.

Presenter:Thank you, Debbie. Now Jonathan.

Jonathan: The trouble with riding is that you can injure yourself if

you fall! I don't like that at all! I prefer canoeing because

you've always got the water there for support. If you're a

good swimmer, have a good sense of balance and strong

arms, you'll like canoeing! The main trouble is

transporting your canoe to the right places—my father

takes it on the roof of the car—or sometimes I put it on

the roof of the Club Land Rover. What it's taught me most

is to be independent. It's just you and the canoe against

the wind, the weather and the water. It gives you a lot of

self-confidence and it can be really exciting as long as

you don't mind getting soaked, of course! It makes you

feel close to nature somehow. I hope to run my own

canoeing center when I'm qualified.

Questions:

1. How many guests are interviewed in the program?

2. How do sports affect the guests' life according to the presenter?

3. What sports does Debbie enjoy most?

4. What will Debbie do if she saves up enough money?

5. What does Jonathan think of horse-riding?

6. What is required for canoeing?

7. What is troublesome about canoeing?

8. What can you get from canoeing?

The game of football may have started in Roman times. It seems that the Romans played a game very much like our modern rugby but with a round ball.

English villagers played football in the 16th century and they often had almost a hundred players on each side. It was a very common game, which was very rough and even dangerous until the early part of the 19th century. In the 18th century a Frenchman who had watched a rough game of

football in a village wrote, "I could not believe that those men were playing a game. If this is what Englishmen call playing, I would not like to see them fighting!"

From the mid 19th century, it was played in schools in England and soon spread all over Britain and Europe. Until in 1850, it was not possible to have football matches between one school and another, because each school had different rules! So set rules had to be made. They were not formalized though until, in 1863, when those who preferred to play with hands as well as feet formed the Rugby Union while the others started the Football Association (F.A.). It was only in 1863 that the first set of rules for all football clubs was agreed upon.

Nearly 150 years later, football has become by far the most popular sport in the entire world. Would that 18th century Frenchman have believed it possible?

Questions:

1. According to the passage, when may the game of

football have first started?

2. What does the speaker say about the earliest football

game in England?

3. How many team members were often involved in the

game when the English began to play the game?

4. Why was it NOT possible to have football matches

between two schools until 1850?

5. What happened to football in 1863?

Receptionist: Good morning. Can I help you?

Cathy: Er...a friend told me that you have exercise and

dance classes here.

Receptionist:That's right.

Cathy: Er...can you give me some information about

days and times, please?

Receptionist: Yes, there are four classes a day, every day

from Monday to Saturday—nothing on

Sunday.

Cathy: Yeah.

Receptionist: The first one is an aerobics class from 8:30 to

9:30 in the morning. Then there's another

aerobics class at lunchtime from 12:30 to 1:30.

Cathy: Right.

Receptionist: Then in the evening from 5:30 to 6:30—that's

aerobics too. And there's a jazz dance class

from 6:30 to 7:30.

Cathy: Right. And what level are they for? I mean,

would they be OK for a beginner?

Receptionist: The morning aerobics—8:30 to 9:30—is

advanced. All the others are kind of beginner to

intermediate level. But let me give you an

information sheet.

Cathy: Thanks. And how much does it cost for a class?

Receptionist: You pay a ￡1 entrance fee and then the

classes are ￡2.50 each and ￡3.50 for the

jazz dancing. It's there on the sheet.

Cathy: Oh, yes, I see.

Receptionist: If you become a member, entrance is free and...

Cathy: Oh, no, it's OK. I'm only in London for two

weeks.

Receptionist: Oh, right. That's no good then.

Cathy: And I guess you have showers and everything?

Receptionist: Yes, sure, and in the evenings you can use the

sauna free, too.

Cathy: Oh, great. Right. So the next class is at 5:30?

Well, I'll see you then.

Receptionist: Fine. See you later!

Questions:

1. Where does the dialog most probably take place?

2. How many classes are there everyday except Sunday?

3. At what time does the last class end?

4. How much is the entrance fee?

5. Which class will Cathy come for most probably?

6. What can we learn about Cathy from the dialog?

Woman: Why don't we go abroad for a change? I'd like to go to France, Spain, or even Italy.

Man: Mm. I'm not all that keen on traveling really. I'd rather stay at home.

Woman: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun!

Man: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.

Woman: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.

Man: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And another thing, traveling in Britain would be easier. No boats,

planes or anything.

Woman: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What's the point in seeing them again? Anyway, we can travel round Britain whenever we

like. There's no point in wasting our summer holiday here.

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. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Angela:Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I've been living here for 20 years now. Interviewer:Do you think that belonging to two different cultures has affected your personality? Angela:Yes, definitely. There are times when I think that I have two personalities. Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian. Interviewer:That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean? Angela:Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home. Interviewer:Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite? Angela:Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent. Interviewer:Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person?

I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am. I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything. I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People

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.

Part 1 Listening 1 Ex1: C A D C B Ex2: 1) approaching 2) left 3) toilet 4) locked 5) Tickets please 6) pushed 7) stamped Scripts: Two Belgians and two Dutchmen traveled regularly to work on the same train. After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!", they pushed one ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again. The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own. The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty. As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!" One ticket appeared under the door. Questions: 1. Where did the story take place 2. What did the two Dutchmen want to know from the two Belgians 3. How did the Dutchmen feel about the Belgians' behavior 4. What did the Belgian do when asked if he had a ticket 5. Who finally managed to travel free of charge Listening 2 Ex1: 1 department store 2. attend college 3. difficult 4. physical education 5. terrified Ex2: FTTFT Scripts: My name is Atsuko Saeki. I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone. One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, "Come on, you can do that." You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel. I was so happy that I almost cried. I managed to hit the ball and I think I thanked the young man, but I'm not sure. I have never forgotten his kind words of encouragement. He probably doesn't even remember what he said to me or how much his kindness meant to me. Whenever things aren't going well, I think of those simple words of encouragement: Come on, you can do that.

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4) Unit 1 享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？ 1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？ 2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。 3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。这么说是有道理的。 4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。” 5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。如果这个妙语含有一定的幽默成分，这个笑话便会很有趣。通常笑话都包含这三部分，而且每部分都必须交代清楚。如果讲故事或说笑话的人使用听众都熟悉的手势和语言，则有助于增强效果。 6 我们可以对幽默这种娱乐形式，进行分析，从而发现究竟是什么使一个有趣的故事或笑话令人发笑。举例来说，最常见的幽默有以下几种，包括了从最显而易见的幽默到比较微妙含蓄的幽默。 7 “滑稽剧”是最明显的幽默。它语言简单、直截了当，常常以取笑他人为乐。说笑打闹这种形式过去是、现在仍然是滑稽说笑演员和小丑的惯用技巧。它为不同年龄、不同文化背景的人们所喜爱。几乎本世纪的每个讲英语的滑稽说笑演员都曾以这样或那样的方式说过下面这则笑话。一位男士问另一位男士：“昨晚我看到的那位和你在一起的贵妇是谁？”那位男士回答道：“那可不是什么贵妇，那是我老婆。”这个笑话的幽默之处在于第二位男士说他的妻子不是一位贵妇，也就是说她不是一个高雅的女人。这个笑话并没有因为经常讲而变得不再那么好笑。由于这是一个经典笑话，观众都知道要说什么，而且因为大家对这个笑话很熟悉而更加珍爱它。 8 中国的相声是一种特殊的滑稽剧。相声中两名中国喜剧演员幽默地谈论诸如官僚主义者、家庭问题或其他一些有关个人的话题。相声随处都能听到，无论是在乡村的小舞台上，还是在北京最大的剧院里，抑或在广播、电视上。它显然是中国人家喻户晓的一种传统的幽默形式。 9 “俏皮话”不像滑稽剧那样浅显，它是因语言的误用或误解而引人发笑。我特别喜欢
