Conversation 1 W: Hello, Mr. Williams. This is John Barrett’s secretary. I’m ca to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well. M: Thanks

for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet. Q: What is the man going to do?

Conversation 2 M: I need to use more than just my math skills for these questions but

I don’t have a calculator. Shall I go and buy one? W: Actually, I’ve got two. And let you have one for the price of a coffee. Q: What do we learn about the woman from

this conversation?

Conversation 3 M: Professor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future. W: It’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract

thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical

physics. Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?

Conversation 4 W: I can’t believe Ken missed such an important lecture even though I reminded him the day before yesterday. M: You should know him better by now. He’known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other. Q: What does the

man imply?

Conversation 5 W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s to be awfully difficult going to so many places in such hot summer days. M: Well, it

is challenging, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough. Q:

What does the man think of his job?

Long conversation Scripts W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need

permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing. M: It’s only the second week class, Stacey. Why are you giving up so quickly? We’ve only written one essay so far, and you won’t get your grade back until next Wednesday! W: I know, sir. But as a

third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average

by scoring poorly in a writing class! M: OK … What’s worrying you? W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-

page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a

writing course … I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all

– a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements.

M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was

easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the

15th street, math helped me! W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That’s our favorite coffee place. We get coffee and screenplay at more than 30 different

production dessert there every week – and work on math homework. M: Yeah, that’my shop. Stacey, let’s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety of skills. Humanities

majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class will

serve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring.

Then stop by my office each Friday at 11 a.m. and I’ll work with you. Together you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal? W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl!

Passage 1 Scripts In 1978, as I applied to study film at the University of Illinois, my

father objected and quoted me a statistic, “Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US.

Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to understand my

father’s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chinese newcomer to make it in the

American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years of annoying,

hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping film crews with their equipment

or working as editor’s assistant. My most painful experience involved shopping a

screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and being met with harsh

rejection each time. That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’t even support myself. Wh could I do? Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me

strong support. Her income was terribly modest. To relieve me from feeling guilty, I

took on all housework – cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son – in addition to reading, reviewing films and writing scripts. It was rather shameful for a man to live

this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolled in a computer course at a community college.

At that time, it seemed that only the knowledge of computer could quickly make me

employable. One morning, right before she got in her car to head off to work, my wife

turned back and – standing there on our front steps – said, “Ang Lee, don’t fo your dream.” Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to

shoot my own films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards.

Recalling earlier times, my wife confessed, “I’ve always believed that you only need one gift. Your gift is making films.” And today, I’ve finally won that golden statue. I think my own perseverance and my wife’s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met

their reward. Q1: When did Ang Lee come to understand his father’s concern about studying film? Q2: What was Ang Lee’s most painful experience according to the passage? Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer course at a community college?

Q4: What did Ang Lee’s wife think of him according to the passage?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly

and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you

like a magnet. It’s so important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do

anything under any 2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really

will. That belief just keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can

get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you

are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of

purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just

let life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get

a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal self-

importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence

comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it.

Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8)

accomplishing anything you want. Anything can be achieved through focused,

determined effort, commitment and selfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are

longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a

moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each

moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then you will have the life you want.

sister?

Conversation 2 W: What’s wrong with Professor Smith? I can’t imagine that he lost

his temper this morning. When I first met him, he looked so gentle and kind. M: Oh,

don’t make a fuss about it. If you know him, then you’ll also know it’ll pass ve Q: What does the man say about Professor Smith?

Conversation 3 W: You mean Horace is still angry about that joke you made about his

Conversation 4 W: By the way, did you hear that Jack failed his mid-term exam? It

too bad because it will disqualify him for next year’s scholarship, and his parents wil be really disappointed with him. M: He deserved it. He’s never really studied since last semester. Q: How does the man feel about Jack’s failing the exam?

Conversation 5 W: I have been thinking about the interview all week. I’m so desperate for this job, I can’t afford any mistakes. M: Take it easy. You’ve ma enough preparations. What you really need is a little bit of confidence. I’m su get the job. Q: What do we learn about the woman?

Long conversation Scripts W: Happy Friday Chris! Isn’t that mountain beautiful

today … Gosh Chris, are you OK? Are you crying? Did I say something? M: No, it’fine, Sally. It’s just that today is the one-year anniversary of my father’s de I’m so sorry. Today must be especially difficult. M: I woke up this morning, looked

out at Mount Rainier for 45 minutes thinking about him. It was his favorite mountain,

and from the time when I was seven years old until he died last year, every year,

every year we would go hiking and camping together up that mountain at least three

or four times. W: Wow. That’s my favorite place, too. I love all the blue and yellow

flowers that cover the slopes in early summer. M: He loved those flowers, too, and we

had baskets and bunches of them at the funeral. W: That sounds really special. Those

little details can be such a comfort. M: Yes, it was a reminder of our happiest

memories together. Honestly, I hope to die as peacefully as he did. We had just come

home from a five-day hiking and camping trip in June. We had caught six fish for

dinner and mom was preparing them in the kitchen. Dad sat down in his favorite

green chair and had a heart attack and died quickly and peacefully. W: It’s tough

lose someone you love, but it sounds like he had a great life. M: He certainly did. He

was 78 when he died. A good life, though, a very good life. W: Chris, take the day off.

Maybe go hiking on Mount Rainier. It’s beautiful weather. It might make you feel

better to hike up the mountain. M: Sally, you’re a good boss and a good friend. Thanks. Passage 1 Scripts With the fierce competition at work or in school, you are

often stressed out and easily offended. How can you relieve such stress? Follow the

following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid MUST think. You

have to move away from the notion that you must do something in a certain way. For

example, “I must get a great score on a test.” This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation rationally and analytically, and not as a

or death” situation. Clean up the mess. Don’t study in a messy or crowded area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that’s free from distractions. Set manageable goals. Break large projects into smaller parts and you’ll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part. Imagine dumping your worries. Imagine yourself walking on a

beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into

the bucket. Drop the bucket and watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think good

thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief assumptions and mentally repeat them to

yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the

morning. Imagine yourself succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real-life

situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same

feeling of confidence. Use your bed for sleeping, not studying. Your mind may start

to associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.

Listen to relaxing music. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background.

Classical music especially can aid the learning process. Apply these tips to your own

life, soon you’ll find fewer and fewer situations to feel stressful about. Q1: What will

happen if you always think that you must do something in a certain way? Q2: How

can you make large projects workable according to the passage? Q3: What is the

benefit of classical music mentioned in the passage? Q4: What is the best title for the

passage?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to

become fixed, 1) exerting an influence on one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s 2) fabulous if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are

sad, anxious, angry or lonely. Perhaps one of the best ways to deal with such moods is

to 3) talk them out. Sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern science

offers an abundance of drugs to deal with bad moods. But scientists have also

Conversation 1 M: It’s considerate of the community to offer us old people so many chances. As you can see from my curriculum schedule, I have one music theory class

Conversation 2 W: Let’s talk about the preparations for the coming Christmas party.

M: I think we really need a good plan and to arrange everything well in advance this

Q: What does the woman think of her new neighbor?

Conversation 5 W: I’ve heard that Mr. Smith is moving to a new apartment house at

the end of this month. M: That’s wonderful. He’s been looking forward to moving to

Long conversation Scripts W: Hello, Mr. Lucas, I’m here to ask for 10 days off work, next month, in August. Together with the two weekends, I’ll have a full 14 days off from work. M: Two weeks in August? Lucy, as the election season is coming, the

news and stories are catching the eye of the public. We may need our best news

producers – like you – to be here for interviews. What’s so important? W: I know it a busy season, but I’ve been taking two weeks off every year to volunteer for Habitat

for Humanity – it’s a commitment I’ve kept every year, no matter what. It’s s great organization that builds low-cost homes for people in need. The work is all

volunteering and most of the supplies to build the houses are provided for free. It

great way to build community and make friends. M: I love Habitat for Humanity! In

2005, after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, over 150,000 volunteers helped build

more than 2,200 homes. My daughter worked with them in New Orleans and my

brother has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity for five years. W: Wow! You

know my husband and I have been volunteering for six years here in Seattle. When I

started, I didn’t even know how to hold a hammer, but now I’ve learned how to paint build roofs, and even install kitchen sinks! I love the feeling of community we

develop with our fellow volunteers and with the communities that benefit from our

work. M: Alright! We’ll work it out. I’ll give you the time off. Maybe this year you

can learn how to install doors as well! Q1: Why is the woman asking for two weeks

off from work? Q2: Which of the following statements is true? Q3: According to the

woman, why is she willing to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity? Q4: What do we

know about the man from the conversation? Passage 1 Scripts The BBC’s iPM radio program asks its listeners for interesting questions. In response, a listener asked the

following question: “I would like to ask a question about the relationships among

neighbors. I mean those people who live in your immediate neighborhood. Many

people we have spoken to have said they don’t know any of their immediate neighbors.” What about you? Do you know any of your immediate neighbors, in the

sense of something more than exchanging “Good morning” or “Good afternoon”, fo example? A research group carried out an investigation and asked people how well

they know their neighbors and this is what the research group discovered.

Surprisingly, 77 percent of people say they know their neighbors. It also emerged that

if they live in a house, regardless of town or rural area, a massive 80 percent of them

know their neighbors. However, the figure drops to 75 percent if they’re in a flat. T survey also revealed that people appear to get friendlier as they get older. In fact, only

64 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds know their neighbors, but for people aged 55-64 this

number climbs to 88 percent. Interestingly enough, it turns out that men are a little

less likely to say they know their neighbors than women, and the rich are closer to

their neighbors than the less well-off. This topic was very popular with lots of BBC

listeners and provoked plenty of comments on the BBC’s iPM website. One of the listeners said, “I only really got to know my neighbors when their house caught fire.

We’re good friends now.” Another one recalled, “When we moved into our house three years ago, the first remark our neighbor made was, ‘So, you’re moving in? I hope you don’t have noisy kids.’ We reassured him we had no children and tried to

make conversation but with no success.” Q1: What question did the research group try

to find an answer to? Q2: Which age group is more likely to know their neighbors?

Q3: Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? Q4: What do

the website’s comments mentioned at the end of the passage imply?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers Many neighbor disputes end up in court because of

poor communication. If something dangerous or 1) illegal happens, the cops are the

obvious solution. But if problems that arise are grayer, communication is the best way

to save money and trouble. Here are some tips to be a good neighbor and deal with a

bad one: ? Get to know each other. Being a good neighbor doesn’t mean 2) taking family vacations together. Just knowing them well enough to say hi, or maybe

borrowing a cup of sugar or loaning a gardening tool, can build trust and

understanding. Issues are much more likely to occur among strangers than even casual

3) acquaintances. ? Head off problems before they’re problems. If you are 4) throwing

a party at your place, go to all neighbors who might be affected and offer them two

things: a 5) verbal invitation to the party and a card with your phone number. If they

are not 6) tolerant of the noise or there are other problems, your neighbors can call

you instead of asking the police to 7) intervene. ? Tell your neighbors what’s bothering you – don’t assume they know what the problem is. Be open and direct, not passive-aggressive. Ask for their opinions, and wherever possible, propose a solution

that 8) splits the difference and demonstrates a willingness to compromise. Stay cool

and positive, even if your neighbors are not. ? Check with other neighbors. See if

anybody else on the block is having similar issues – they may be willing to help 9) resolve it. If one of the neighbors is close to the troublemaker, have them come with

you when you 10) talk it out. Bottom line? As with any relationship, being a good

neighbor – or dealing with a bad one – is all about communication.

write a five-page short story by October 8th, and I have no idea what to write about.

W: We’re already two months into the semester, you must have written stories before

now. What did you write about last time? M: That’s just it – we’ve only had to wr

true stories so far, funny little things that happened to us or our families. My first

three stories were about hunting or fishing with my childhood dog, Brownie, and

visiting my grandmother during the summers when I was in high school. This time, it

has to be fictional. Hey! You’re a great artist, how do you get your ideas? W: Thank

you, but I’m not sure painting and writing are exactly the same. When I’m ready start a new painting, I usually go for long walks along the beach or out in the woods. I

find most of my inspiration in nature. M: Hmm … I don’t think that would really

work for me. I need characters and a plot.

W: You should try hanging out at the train station. There are always interesting

people with odd hats or accents coming and going, dramatic goodbyes and romantic

reunions. Just sit in the lobby for an hour or two and watch everyone. Try to imagine

who they are, where they’re going, why they’re in such a hurry. M: The train station? That’s actually a pretty good idea! How did you come up with such a great idea? W:

I’m glad you like it, but I can’t take any credit. It’s an old trick I learned from m artists and writers. You just need something new and exciting to get those creative

ideas flowing. Q1: What’s the problem with the man? Q2: How does the woman get

her ideas before painting? Q3: What is the man’s attitude toward the woman’s wa getting inspiration? Q4: What does the woman suggest the man do at the train station?

Passage 1 Scripts We may take the invention of the toilet for granted, but it is

something many of us would have a hard time learning to live without. Public

sanitation systems were invented long ago, but when was the toilet invented? The

story of the toilet takes us back to 1596. The toilet was created by Sir John Harrington

for his godmother, Queen Elizabeth I. Harrington called his design a “water close and his water closet was installed in Queen Elizabeth’s castle in 1596. The original toilet, or water closet, had a knob on a chain that had to be pulled in order for the

water to be released from a bowl. Underneath the bowl, there was a basin or

collection bowl that had to be emptied and cleaned often. It is not the sanitary and

pleasant way for removing waste that we know of, but it paves the way for later

improvements. Over time, many inventors improved Harrington’s original water

closet by improving the pipes that were attached to the bottom and the flush system

that built upon the original toilet. By 1896, Thomas Crapper began to sell toilets.

Crapper saw the importance and necessity of the toilet, and he used his admiration for

the product to help promote and sell the toilet. Harrington’s invention is, without a doubt, one invention that would be hard to live without. Inventors will continue to

develop upon Harrington’s original water closet. Q1: Who invented the first toilet

according to the passage? Q2: What was one of the problems with Harrington’s wat closet? Q3: How did inventors improve the original toilet according to the passage?

Q4: Which of the following can best summarize the passage?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers Scientific research should improve our overall quality

of life. The government should provide financial and political support to any research

that is likely to result in immediate and significant benefits for the people. However,

people’s ideas 1) vary when it comes to whether the government should support

scientific research with no practical use. Still 2) a large portion of people believe that

the government should distribute adequate funds to any scientific research that aims to

improve the 3) well-being of people, even if it is of no practical use in the short run.

Scientific research whose social benefits are immediate, predictable, and 4) profound

should continue to be a high priority. For example, biotechnology research has been

proven to help cure and prevent diseases; information technology enables education to

be more 5) accessible; and communication technology facilitates global peace by

improving mutual understanding among people and their participation in the

democratic process. However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less

immediate or clear should be given a lower priority. It is difficult to predict which

research will 6) ultimately lead to the greatest contributions to society. Reluctance to

finance less practical scientific research could 7) have a harmful effect on the efforts

to explore new knowledge. This is particularly true of the computer sciences. For

instance, before the first computer was invented, public opinions 8) went against it, as

most people saw nothing practical in computer research. However, computers

transformed the way human society evolved and proved to be of great avail in the

long run, especially in terms of scientific development in fields such as the military,

medicine, 9) aviation, and education. Therefore, never should we think that scientific

research whose benefits are unknown 10) is not worth pursuing since the purpose of

any research should be to discover truths, whatever it might be.

had flexibility, an understanding boss, and a high salary. I loved my job. But after six

years of trying out various professional roles, I felt that I had grown beyond the fixed

positions available at the company. I must admit that having a lot of money is nice.

Money can buy you things, nice things. However, the popular saying is true – mo cannot buy you happiness, and having it doesn’t mean that you are a successful

person. After several years, I realized that the more money I made, the less satisfied I

became. Days started to blend into one another, time flew by, and I deeply longed for

something with more meaning. Upon realizing that I was trading my time for money,

I started experimenting with other income sources. I’ve started and ended businesses I’ve turned hobbies into professional pursuits, and I’ve tested out different investme strategies. In the end, I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter what you are doing. As lon as you are doing something that expresses your passion, you will feel great and you

will gain satisfaction. I’ve also learned that starting something from scratch and

watching it grow is deeply rewarding. Through my quest for passion, I’ve discover blogging as a platform where I can share ideas and lessons learned that are closest to

my heart, as a way to serve others. For the first time in my life, I feel that I am living

Passage 2 Scripts and answers A poorly trained manager can make an employee’s life miserable. In 99 out of 100 cases, employees may 1) suffer from low spirits and then

gradually become no longer 2) enthusiastic about their jobs just because they have a

boss who doesn’t approve of them, doesn’t listen to them, or generally 3) erodes their

self-esteem. Three basic skills that every manager should use in order to be 4)

competent on the job are: being specific, enhancing others’ self-esteem and listening

effectively. Being specific means giving 5) clear-cut instructions about what is to be

done and the results to be achieved. Being specific also means describing the behavior

of people rather than 6) labeling people. It includes giving both positive feedback that

tells them what to repeat and corrective feedback that is firm, yet not critical. Then it

7) comes down to evoking in the employees self-esteem. Self-esteem is a private,

individual matter. It is not fixed, but goes up and down from day to day, or even from

hour to hour. Thus, building self-esteem is no easy task. Managers can’t MAKE people feel good about themselves, but rather, they need to help people develop their

own self-esteem as self-esteem is like a door that’s locked from the inside. A final skill that today’s managers need more than ever is listening. Listening may seem like

a 8) commonplace skill, but it’s not practiced as much as it should be in business

today. People 9) tend to think about what they are going to say in response when

another person is talking, instead of 10) focusing on what that person is saying and

what he / she means.

Conversation 1 M: That’s a big assignment we got for the English class this week, and

for the European History course, we still have a presentation about artists in the

Renaissance to prepare. W: Well, it’s not as bad as it looks. The assignment isn

until Friday morning. Q: What does the woman imply?

Conversation 2 W: Are you coming with me to the history museum, Jack? The TV

program I saw last night reminded me of some important historical figures I like. M: I

saw that, too. Maybe next time, because I already have my hands full with this book

report. Q: What is the man’s reply to the woman’s suggestion?

Conversation 3 W: Today on History says that Ford Model T which was introduced in

1908 was regarded as the first affordable American automobile. M: Yeah. The

country has become “a nation on wheels” since the last century. I was reading that

there are about four million miles of roads and highways in this country now. It seems

as if we were married with cars. Q: What does the man mean?

Conversation 4 W: We usually think of history as the story of important people and

events, but some historians in the 20th century are also interested in the daily lives of

ordinary people. M: That’s true. They can even learn a lot from studying old family

pictures. For example, the number of children in a picture indicates the size of the

family; the clothes they wore suggest the popular fashions of the time. Q: What does

the man think of historians?

Conversation 5 W: Hi, Sam. Are you ready for the history test this Friday? I see you

are still playing games. M: Well, that’s my way of dealing with stress. You know, I

W: It is hot outside! M: Hi Daisy! What is it, 75 degrees Fahrenheit? W: It’s ov

Grandpa! You’re just cool because you’ve had the air conditioning on! I’ve bee working in the yard all morning. I’m so hot and I feel like I’m melting! M: At leas you can come inside and have a nice cool glass of lemon juice. W: And I sure need it!

I’ve been baking in the Arizona sun for two hours now, and I can’t imagine anythin better than standing in the cool air enjoying an ice-cold drink. M: Back when I was

your age, we didn’t have any air conditioning. Willis Carrier didn’t invent air conditioning until 1902, and it wasn’t available in people’s homes until after World War II. W: Wow! What was life like for you? M: I worked as a farmhand for the

neighbors, building fences all day. You should have seen me when I was 13,

sunburned and dirty. W: And you still lived in Arizona back then? M: No, I was in

Texas. We survived the heat by swimming all the time. There was a stream running

through the farm, and every few hours, I would leap into the water! Even with my

clothes completely soaked with water, the sun would still dry me off in 10 minutes! W:

I know you didn’t have cell phones and computers, but I forget about the little

comforts like the air conditioning. M: Yes, a lot has changed, but not this summer

heat! W: I wonder what scientists will come up with in the next century to keep us

cool. M: I’d like a weather machine to make it rain during these long dry spells. W: Personally, I hope someone invents a personal ice cream machine! It could follow me

around all day making chocolate ice cream! Q1: What was the girl doing on such a

hot morning? Q2: What do we know about the air conditioning from the conversation?

Q3: What can we learn about the man when he was 13? Q4: What would the girl like

to have in the next century to keep cool? Passage 1 Scripts Almost 70 years ago the

idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of. But when the annual games

for the disabled were started in England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the

situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who left Germany because of the

Nazi persecution of the Jews, was asked by the British government to set up an

injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London in 1943. His methods for

treating injuries included sports for the disabled. In the first games just two teams of

injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those

beginnings, things have developed fast. In 1960 the first Paralympic Games were held

in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Since then, the Paralympic

Games have taken place in the same year as the Olympic Games. The 1988 Summer

Paralympics in Seoul was a landmark for the Paralympic movement. It was in Seoul

that the Summer Paralympic Games were held directly after the Summer Olympic

Games, in the same host city and using the same facilities. This set a precedent and

was eventually formalized in an agreement between the International Paralympic

Committee and the International Olympic Committee in 2001. The Paralympic Games

have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,

and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sports. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the Paralympic

Games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee

to include disabled events in the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few

more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that

their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded. Q1: What was Sir Ludwig

Guttmann’s greatest contribution to the disabled? Q2: When were the first Paralympic

Games held? Q3: What was special about the 1988 Seoul Paralympic Games? Q4:

What do we know about the Paralympic Games from the passage?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers The Sultana was a Mississippi River steamboat

destroyed in an explosion on April 27, 1865. An 1) estimated 1,800 of the 2,400

passengers were killed, and the Sultana sank not far from Memphis, Tennessee. This

disaster received little public attention, as it took place soon after the President

Abraham Lincoln was 2) assassinated. The wooden steamboat was constructed in

1863 and 3) was intended to be used for the lower Mississippi cotton trade.

Registering 1,719 tons, the steamboat was built to carry no more than 376 people. For

two years, it ran a regular route between St. Louis and New Orleans. Sometimes it

was asked to carry troops. The Sultana left New Orleans on April 21, 1865. Most of

the passengers were Union soldiers who had recently been 4) released from

Confederate prison camps. The US government had 5) made a contract with the

Sultana to transport these former prisoners of war back to their homes in the north. At

2 a.m. on April 27, about seven miles north of Memphis, at least one boiler 6) gave

way, causing a huge explosion that destroyed the center portion of the boat, throwing

sleeping men high into the air before landing in the river. Confusion and chaos 7)

ensued as men tried to save themselves and others. Many drowned while others

burned to death. The direct cause of the explosion was later determined to be the

leaky and poorly repaired steam boiler. Passengers who 8) survived the initial

explosion had to risk their lives in the icy water of the Mississippi or burn with the

ship. Many died of drowning or coldness. Bodies of 9) victims continued to be found

downriver for months. Many were never recovered. Some of the Sultana’s crew, including the captain, were among those who 10) perished.

working because I have turned the switch all the way up but it is still freezing in here!

W: Oh. Have you tried turning it completely off for a while and then restarting it?

Long conversation Scripts M: Megan? Um … Can I ask you a few questions? … I need some help. I’m really worried about my Intro to Psychology class. W: What’wrong Tim? I thought you loved that class … Are you having trouble with the essays?

M: No, writing essays is fine … But I’m really struggling with the test. I read the textbook over and over, but I just can’t get a handle on some of the concepts. I understand the words, but I can’t seem to understand how the concepts fit together

W: Have you tried talking to the professor? I’ve heard that Dr. Smith is really helpful. My friend Maggie took that class and said that she would have failed it if she hadn

met with Dr. Smith every week during his office hours on Wednesday at 11 a.m. M:

No, no! I’m way too shy. Every time he calls on me in class, I’m so nervous I can speak. I’m just so worried, and I don’t know what to do. W: You could try talking to

the teaching assistant, Jane. She is known for making the complex ideas of

psychology easy to understand, plus she’s really easy to talk to, because she is a great listener. Maybe she can help! Jane’s office hours are on Thursday at 1 p.m. M: OK. Teaching assistant, Jane, Thursdays at 1 p.m. Any other ideas? W: Yeah. Don’t for about the Internet. Try doing a little research online. A lot of university professors

post video lectures that are free to watch. For a class like Intro to Psychology I bet

you can find some great lectures online that will be a big help. M: Thanks Megan! I

try it! Q1: What is the man’s problem according to the conversation? Q2: Why is the

man afraid of asking the professor for help? Q3: What can we know about the

teaching assistant from the conversation? Q4: What else will the man probably do in

addition to talking to the teaching assistant? Passage 1 Scripts Every relationship in

our life – friendships, family ties, romantic and professional relationships –potentially be destroyed by conflicts. The solution is not to ignore the conflicts or

keep moving around hoping to find a set of perfect people. Resolving conflicts in

relationships is one of the most important life skills we should develop and it is

something we need to value. So how to resolve conflicts? First, if we have a difficult

issue, it is important to see the problem from the other person’s perspective. This not mean we have to agree with their viewpoint; it means we try to see the issue from

a different perspective. This empathy can at least help us understand where they are

coming from, and why they have their particular attitude. If we only look at things

from our own perspective, conflicts will be much more likely to occur. Second, we

need tolerance. A major cause of conflicts in relationships is when we expect people

to behave in a certain way. The problem with expecting certain behavior from others

is that we get upset when they fail to live up to our expectations. We need to be

tolerant of other people’s mistakes and limitations. We have to respect their decisions

on how to live their life. Third, we should talk. When tense situations arise, talking

can be the most effective way of moving past the problem. When talking we should

try to focus on positive issues and look for things which we agree on and can work

together on. Some things are best left unsaid; it is inadvisable to bring up old conflicts

unless absolutely necessary. No conflict is unsolvable. If we are willing to change our

attitude we can develop harmony even with difficult people. If we can develop

harmony in our relationships, it will definitely make a big difference to our life. Q1:

Why is it important to “see the problem from the other person’s perspective”　according to the passage? Q2: What is a major cause of conflicts in relationships

according to the passage? Q3: How should we solve the problem by way of talking?

Q4: Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this passage?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers Research shows a close relation between reading speed

and understanding that in most cases an increase in rate 1) was accompanied by an

increase in comprehension and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehension

with it. However, simply speeding the rate especially through forced 2) acceleration

may actually result in making the real reading problem more 3) severe. The obvious

solution, then, is to increase rate as a part of a total 4) endeavor of the whole reading

process. Then how? You can prepare for maximum increase in rate by establishing 5)

practicable habits, such as avoiding rereading and whispering while reading, learning

to adjust reading rate to increase comprehension. Rate adjustment may be overall

adjustment, or internal adjustment within an article. As an 6) analogy, imagine that

you plan to take a 100-mile mountain trip in three hours, averaging about 35 miles an

hour. This is your overall rate adjustment. However, in actual driving you may slow

down to 15 miles per hour on some curves, while 7) speeding up to 50 miles per hour

on relatively straight sections. This is your internal rate adjustment. Poor results are

inevitable if the reader 8) attempts to use the same rate for all types of material and

for all reading purposes. A good reader adjusts his / her reading rate from article to

article, or even within a given article. So you need to 9) foster a good reading habit by

daily training until a flexible reading rate becomes 10) second nature to you.

Passage 1 Scripts New technology and social media sites are constantly changing,

evolving and developing, which means the face of personal communication is also

changing. These changes, however, often mean people are having less and less face-

to-face interaction. Email, texting, and Facebook are just a few examples of media

that have diminished verbal communication; verbal communication has decreased

dramatically from just 20 years ago, when most of the technology used today did not

even exist. Email, starting during the 1970s but not becoming popular in the public

sphere until the 1990s, was one of the first forms of online communication technology

to come about that is still used today. Email is currently the most popular form of

online communication, even after discounting the large volume of spam messages

sent. According to a survey, about 188 billion emails are sent out per day, and 79

percent of people use their smart phones to check their email, a much higher

percentage than the 43 percent who use them to make phone calls. Texting has also

increased dramatically since it first came about in the 1990s and is now used for communication more than making phone calls. More than 70 percent of people use

their smart phones to text, according to a survey. Sending messages through social

media sites, such as Facebook, is also taking the place of verbal communication. More

than four billion messages are sent daily over Facebook. Although this is far behind

the rate of emails being sent, it is almost equal to the number of texts sent per day in

the US, making up a large portion of the way people communicate. It is no secret that

time spent on new technology and social media sites is increasing immensely,

creating less time for real-life interactions. Likewise, there is no doubt that as these

numbers continue to rise, face-to-face and verbal communication will continue to

decrease and possibly even become a mere trend of the past. Q1: Which of the

following is the most popular form of communication according to the passage? Q2:

How many people use their smart phones to text, according to the passage? Q3: What

do we know about the number of messages sent daily over Facebook? Q4: What is

probably the speaker’s attitude toward the trend of decreasing face-to-face and verbal communication?

Passage 2 Scripts and answers The most useful bit of the media is disappearing. In

North America, newspapers are now an 1) endangered species. The business of selling

words to readers and selling readers to advertisers, which has sustained their role in

society, is 2) falling apart. Of all the old media, newspapers have the most to lose

from the Internet. Circulation has been falling in many countries. But in the past few

years the Web has hastened the decline. In his book The Vanishing Newspaper, Philip

Meyer 3) calculates that the first quarter of 2043 will be the moment when newsprint

dies in America as the last exhausted reader 4) tosses aside the last crumpled edition. Advertising is following readers who 5) turn to the Internet. The rush is intense,

largely because the Internet is an attractive medium that 6) unprecedentedly matches

buyers with sellers and proves to advertisers that their money is well spent. In

Switzerland and the Netherlands newspapers have lost half their 7) classified

advertising to the Internet. Newspapers have not yet started to 8) shut down in large

numbers, but it is only a matter of time. Over the next few decades half of North

America’s general papers may fold. Jobs are already disappearing. According to the

Newspaper Association of America, the number of people employed in the newspaper industry fell by 9) approximately 18 percent between 1990 and 2004. Moreover, this year Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, attacked the New York Times Company, because its share price had fallen by nearly 50 percent in four years. This may suggest, to some extent, that tumbling shares of listed newspaper firms have prompted 10) fury from investors.

This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name "the Silk Road". As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of "One Belt, One Road" (namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of "One Belt, One Road" focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.

He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了，在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气，为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时，他应邀前往母校哈罗公学，为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说：“年轻的先生们，当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高，体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：“年轻人，要永不放弃。永不放弃！永不放弃！永不，永不，永不，永不！” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships,

新视野大学英语(第三版)第二册读写教程课后答案

新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案 新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex.1 Understanding the text 1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules. 2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment. 3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, tho ugh in two different situations and with two different feelings.

The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term.

Unit 2 Translate the following paragraph into English 实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation)是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Translate the following paragraph into English 水墨画（ink and wash painting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意向，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.
