LECTURE AUDIOSCRIPTS UNIT 1 What’s in a Name? TEACHER: Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Felipe, Monica, Theo, and I can't remember your name. STUDENT 1: Patricia. TEACHER: Patricia, right, Patricia. Those are all beautiful names, and that's our topic today-names. Names are a culture universal. This means everyone uses names. A person's name can tell us a bit about a person's family. Today, we’ll begin by looking at first names and how people choose names for their children. And then we'll talk about family names, and look at the different categories of family names. Although the scope of the lecture today is English-language names, we can use the same approach, you know, to look at names from any culture. Let's take a brief look at first, or given names. There are several ways parents choose the first name for their child. The first way is by family history. Parents may choose a name because it is passed from generation to generation; for example, the first born son might be named after his father or grandfather. Although family names are also passed to daughters, it is usually as a middle name. Adding "junior" or "the second" for example, William Parker the se conds only done with boys', not with girls’names. The second way parents choose a name is after a family member or friend who has died recently, or after someone "they admire, like a well-known leader or a famous musician. Although most English first names mean something, for example, "Richard" means powerful and “Ann" means grace, nowadays meaning is not the main reason people select their baby's name. The third way is to provide a "push" for the child. Parents want to choose a name that sounds very "successful." A strong name might help them in the business world, for example. Or they might choose a name that works for either gender, like Taylor or Terry. So, given these three methods, what is the

Unit 1 Happiness Part 1 Teacher: Hi, good morning. Did you hear about the lottery winner last night The man won…what?… Two million dollars… Student: No, three. Teacher: Three million dollars? 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." Then they asked some more questions, They wanted to find out about people's personalities, such as their attitudes about life, and so on. They looked at the differences between happy people and unhappy people. They found three factors that are very important for achieving happiness. So…let's look at those factor s now. The first personality factor is that happy people are…satisfied with themselves. This means that they like themselves as they are, and they’re happy with what they have. Happy people may not like everything about their lives-they may be a little bit overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they don't need to change those things to be happy. They think more about the things they are satisfied with, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside. Part 2 Teacher: So…happy people feel satisfied with themselves. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves.

Unit 2 Hew Kinds of Food Part 1 Teacher: Hi, everybody…how's it going? ... Good.…Has everyone turned in their homework? Allrighty, then let's get started. IF you remember, last weekwe were discussing some research in the area of genetics.Today, I'd like to talkabout something I'm sure you've allheard about-genetically modified or "GM" food. Genetically modified food is food--either a plant or animal--that has been altered in the laboratory by scientists. The scientists take something from one plant oranimal, and add it to a different plant or animal to makeit grow in a different way. Today, we'll look at some of the benefits, and the possible risks of genetically modified fond. Let's start with a discussion of some of the benefits ofGM food. Genetic scientists are really trying to makefood plants that are better than normal plants, to makeplants that are altered inways that make the plant grow better or taste better or be healthier to eat than normalplants.

However, the corn doesn'thurt people. This type of corn is beneficial because farmers use fewer pesticides to grow the corn, and so there isless pollution in the environment. Also the corn is lessexpensive because the farmers don't have to spend a lot ofmoney on pesticides. So, by using fewer pesticides, the corn is cheaper and the environment is cleaner. Another benefit of genetically modified plants is that theymay grow better than normal plants. One example is a type of genetically modified strawberry that can grow incold weather. These are better than normal strawberriesbecause farmers can plantthe strawberries earlier in thespring and later in the fall, when normal strawberries usually die. So, as a result,
