Script 1

Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.

Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye．Nick：Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?

Talia：I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again：When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?

Nick：I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．Talia：Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．

Nick：Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands , and she takes me to lunch．

Talia：Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.

Nick：Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.

Talia：Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.

Nick：Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.

Talia：OK. Can you think of anything else?

Nick：Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．

Talia：A commercial? What commercial?

Nick：I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Script 2

Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．

Nick：OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…

Jackie：So，you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.

Nick：Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?

Jackie：Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.i

Nick：Cool!

Jackie：In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?

Nick：Sure.

Jackie：OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day.

Nick：So far, So good.

Jackie：OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, “Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?”

Nick：Uh—huh.

Jackie：And you say, “That’s me. ”Or something like that．

Nick：Right．

Jackie：And then the kid says, “Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?”And you say, “Kicks. What else?”

Nick：That’s it?

Jackie：That’s it.

Nick：So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?

Jackie：That’s all you have to do.

Talia：That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape. So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe. Nick：Oh. wow!

Unit 2

Script 1

Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.

Tony: Come in. What's going on?

Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.

Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say?

Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.

Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this?

Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.

Tony: Of course! The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.

Talia: Still. I can't imagine...

Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?

Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.

Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, T alia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story. Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?

Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.

Script 2

Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you?

Amy: How about a large iced tea?

Patty: Coming right up.

Amy: ... and a little information.

Patty: What kind of information?

Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop. I was told that she's a member of this club.

Patty: Hmm. She used to be, but not anymore. She stopped coming here a while ago. Maybe a year ago, even.

Amy: Oh. Too bad.

Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember

seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.

Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.

Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university. Maybe you could catch up with her there.

Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university?

Patty: Mmm-hmm.

Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.

Patty : Oh, likewise! Thanks!

Talia: So go act like a drama student, and go and talk to her. I’ll be right there. Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?

Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!

Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?

Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class. In fact, it’s tonight.

Jackie: I’ve been taking classes here for about a year and I think he’s been my best teacher.

Jackie: And my brother knows this film director. He’s going to introduce me to him.

Amy: Oh, that’s great! Oh, wait, is your brother that soccer player…?

other! He’s a soccer star, and I’m going to be a movie star! Tonight he’s taking me out for a celebration.

Talia: Gee, you look so familiar.

Jackie: Really? We might have seen each other around campus.

Talia: I guess so. Or we may have been in a class together. I'm taking journalism classes.

Jackie: No, it couldn't have been a class. I'm taking acting classes, like Amy. Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.

Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late for Professor Roberts.

Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you.

Jackie: Really?

Talia: Yes. The Gower Building.

Nick: What’s that?

Talia: Here. You have to put these on.

Nick: I’m sorry. Did I miss something here? Is it… is it Halloween? Are you really going to make me put these on?

Talia: Yes. And that’s how you’re going to hear their conversation. There’s an

earphone in the wig.

Nick: Whose conversation?

Talia: Jackie and Dean’s. They’re having dinner here. Let’s go inside.

Script 2

Talia: So, as I was saying, I have a feeling Dean and Jackie are going to talk about you as soon as they get here.

Nick: Really?

Talia: Yup. And all we have to do is record their conversation. We just need to plant this at their table.

Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?

Talia: You forget—I’m a researcher… I asked the maitred’. That’s their tab le over there. I’ll be right back.

Nick: OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while you plant the mike.

Nick: OK. Hurry up. [Nick coughs!]

Talia: Whew! That was close... Here. Look at the menu. We should order.

Unit 6

Script 1

Jackie: You are not going to believe what happened.

Dean: I've been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven't you called me back?

Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.

Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk...

Jackie: Dean, don't interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So...

Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here...

Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!

Dean: OK. I give up. What?

Jackie: So this woman Amy Ask someone not to interrupt you and I were talking when a friend of hers showed up. Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.

Dean: So?

Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!

Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.

Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...

Dean: How does she know about...

Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.

Dean: Newsline ?

Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?

Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you.

Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea! Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!

Script 2

Jackie: OK. I'll calm down. But, Dean, I'm worried. I could get into real trouble. Dean: You? Why, I'm the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.

Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.

Dean: Big deal.

Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended!

Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.

Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters? Dean: Byron Walters?

Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who's going to make me a star!!

Dean: Oh, him...

Jackie: You said to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.

Dean: Uh, I forgot to tell you. There is no Byron Walters. He quit the business. Jackie: But he was going to give me my big break, the break that's going to make me a star.

Dean: Sorry, Jackie.

Jackie: No, you're not. I don't think you're sorry at all now. But you will be! You tricked me, just like you tricked Nick Crawford. I don't have to stand for this.

Unit 7

Script 1

Nick: I can’t believe it! They admitted everything.

Talia: And we got it all on tape.

Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me?

Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I m entioned Kicks shoes. I knew she would tell Dean about it as soon as she could.

Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me.

Talia: Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony. Nick: Look, T alia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…

Talia: I guess you’re right.

Nick: Why don’t you finish dinner?

Talia; … But if we leave now, T ony will still be in the office.

Nick: Look, T alia. This whole thing is abou t to be clear up. Why don’t we just take a little time now to enjoy ourselves?

Talia: Of course. You’re right. Sorry, Nick. And besides, this is Valentino’s. And I am with a star!

Nick: I have a confession to make.

Talia: What? You have a confession to make? I thought this whole thing was over. Nick: No, no. It’s not about that. It’s about… https://www.wendangku.net/doc/2e1711815.html,.

Talia: Us? Us, as in you and me.

Nick: Yes. Do you remember that class we took together in college?

Talia: Of course, I remember it. I remember it well.

Nick: And do you remember when we were studying together in the library…Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?

Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.

Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?

Nick: I’d heard y ou had a boyfriend.

Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer. In fact, we had split up by mid-semester.

Nick: You are kidding. I didn’t know. Well, I guess I should’ve…

Talia: I’m not seeing anyone now, though, you know.

Talia: I’ll have a cappuccino.

Nick: Two.

Tony: No, I decided not to. When I hadn’t heard from you, I decided to wait. Talia: Oh, gosh, what a relief. T ony: As a matter of fact, I was just going to call you. Talia: Well, I am so glad you waited, Tony.... Tah-dah!

Tony: So that’s the tape?

T alia: Yup. This is the tape that will get Nick’s name cleared.

Tony: OK. Let’s hear it. I have a tape player here somewhere.

Amy: So, tell me. T ell me.

Talia: It was perfect. I got it all on tape. Jackie said that she had posed as a Kicks executive...

Amy: No!

Talia: Yes! And they both admitted that there was no Kicks!

Amy: Get out of here!

Talia: And Dean actually said that he had sent the tape to us.

Amy: Unbelievable!

Talia: Wait till you hear them. Hearing is believing!

Tony: T alia, let me have the tape.

Talia: Oh, sure. Here. Oh, this is so exciting.

Script 2

Talia: Here it is, the tape that will get Nick reinstated on the team. Just a minute. I

must not have rewound it... OK, now listen.... What’s going on? Is this tape player working?

Tony: It’s been working just fine. In fact, I just had it cleaned last week.

Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.

Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.

Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?

Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on. Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?

Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was mov ing.

Tony: You probably just pressed "play".

Talia: This is a disaster.

Tony: Sorry, T alia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way. Amy: Poor Talia.

Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?

Unit 9

Script 1

Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.

Talia: Didn’t you get my message?

Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?

Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...

Nick: What are you talking about?

Talia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie and D ean’s

conversation.

Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.

Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.

Nick: Oh, no!

Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence! Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.

Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.

Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourself

Talia: Well, I’m supposed to be a profes sional! And I want to be a reporter! Script 2

Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.

Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.

Talia: You’re right. What’s done is done. Orin this case, what’s not done is done. Nick: Look, T alia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.

Talia: How can you stay so positive?

Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.

Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.

Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.

Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the m ost terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.

Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?

Talia: No, I don’t think so.

Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.

Unit 10

Script 1

Talia: So, what are you going to do now?

Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.

Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?

Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, T alia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough

Talia: Who is that?

Jackie: Surprise!

Talia: You?

Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.

Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.

Jackie: It's amazing.How easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello,

Nick! Remember me?

Nick: I certainly do.

Talia: What are you doing here?

Jackie: Do you have a video camera?

Talia: Yes.

Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous? Talia: What's the catch?

Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.

Script 2

Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?

Talia: You look fine. Really.

Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure!

Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop. Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie? Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time.

I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...

Talia: Kicks.

Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick

usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.

Talia: And then?

Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement

Talia: And did he?

Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe.

Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?

Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time. Talia: I see.

Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted him.

Unit 11

Script 1

Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.

Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”

Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.

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 ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Unit One Tr a ck 4-1-O L-l A. Jay and Elise are talking about an accident. Listen and check the correct picture. Jay: Come in here, Elise. You should see this show! Elise: What is it? Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I'll learn something ... Tr a ck 4-1-O L-2 B. Listen again. How was the zeppelin described? Check your answers. Track 4-1-OL-3 A. Listen to the conversation and check the correct picture. Jack: I think we should buy a bigger car. Big cars are safer. Kayla: Yes, but on the other hand, they consume more oil. Jack: They also look really cool. Kayla: That's true, but there are some SUVs which are not big but also very beautiful. Jack: And 1 think big cars are more fun to drive. Kayla: But then again, it's very expensive. Jack: Well, let's get more information about several kinds of cars, okay? T r a c k4-1-O L-4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. T r a c k4-1-O L-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.
