Track 4-1-1& 4-1-2

Blake: What are you working on, Mary?

Mary: I'm finishing my paper. It's due tomorrow, Blake.

Blake: What's the topic?

Mary: It's about Greenland.

Blake: Greenland. Hmmm . . . that's part of Canada, right?

Mary: I think you need to study your world geography, Blake.

Blake: Well, isn't it near Canada?

Mary: Yes, it's off the coast of northeast Canada, but it's part of Denmark.

Blake: Oh, I didn't know that. Well, what's your paper about exactly?

Mary: In my paper, I answer the question "Is Greenland really green?" In other words, is Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?

Blake: Is it?

Mary: What do you think?

Blake: Let's see . . . Greenland is in the Arctic Circle-way up north. It's cold, . . . so "Is Greenland really green?" I'd answer "probably not."

Mary: You'd be correct. It's too cold there. In the north, a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are short, so only the surface thaws.

Blake: That sounds tough.

Mary: It's hard for the construction industry. It's not easy to build in Greenland.

Blake: It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to go there?

Mary: There are big mountain ranges on the coasts. They're great for hiking and outdoor sports. And there are lots of animals there. You can sometimes see whales swimming in the harbors.

Blake: That sounds cool! OK,so if it's not really a "green" place, why was it named "Greenland"?

Mary: The first settlers wanted to attract other people. They gave it an attractive name.

Track 4-1-3

Bart: So what exactly did you do over the summer?

Gustav: We worked as volunteers at Glacier National Park

Bart: I've never been there. What's it like?

Carolina: It's beautiful. There are mountains and lakes... and, of course, glaciers!

Bart: How was the job?

Gustav: We had to do a lot of physical work. It was kind of hard.

Carolina:That's true, but it was exciting, too! We actually saw bears!

Bart:Wow! That does sound exciting. Maybe I should apply. I'll need a job next summer.

Carolina: Sorry, Bart, but you can't apply to that program. It's a special program for international students. Track 4-1-4

1. Mt. Fuji is really beautiful from far away. When you climb it, it's just rocks and dirt ... but it's really beautiful from far away.

2. Last year I was in San Francisco and I had a chance to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. What an amazing feat of engineering. It gives you a chance to look through all of San Francisco and over San Francisco Bay and it's just a wonderful chance to see the city.

Track 4-1-OL-1&4-1-OL-2

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 we 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."

Elise: 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 . . .

Track 4-1-OL-3

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 I 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?

Track 4-1-OL-4

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

Track 4-1-OL-5&4-1-OL-6

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 an d 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 h eart 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.

Track 4-1-OL-7&4-1-OL-8

The future building boom?

Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest problem facing our cities?

Erika: I think it's overcrowding. Talk to anyone living in a major metropolitan area and they will say the same thing; There's no space. Even the suburbs are getting crowded.

Interviewer: Well, in some places there simply isn't any land left for building, right?

Erika: Yes, that's true, but you have to think creatively. You can't give up so easily.

Interviewer: Think creatively? What do you suggest?

Erika: What I'm saying is that we can build more structures underground. We can add parking lots,malls,

hotels, and even apartment buildings.There's plenty of space.

Interviewer: Isn't it expensive?

Erika: Yes, it can be. In the past building underground has been very expensive. However, we have new technology that will bring the cost down. It involves using robots. You don't have to pay robots a salary! Interviewer: Isn't "building down" more dangerous than other kind of construction?

Erika: Actually, I think it's safer than building skyscrapers, for example. Remember, we already do it. We have subways and underground shopping malls. I'm just suggesting we invest in a variety of bigger projects and that we dig deeper.

Interviewer: What would you say to people who doubt your idea?

Erika: I can understand their feelings. Whenever there's a new idea, it can cause controversy. But building down" is not some kind of impractical idea. It makes sense. There is so much space underground: It can accommodate a lot of traffic, storage, and people. With the new technology we have, we'd be crazy not to consider the idea --it's the wave of the future!

Lea: I hate writing term papers! It takes forever!

Steve: You're lucky, Lea. When I was young...

Lea: Oh, I've heard this story before.

Steve: Well, when I was young, we didn't have computers. We used to write our papers on typewriters. Lea: Oh, really? That sounds difficult!

Steve: It was, especially because I made a lot of mistakes.

Lea: Did it take a long time?

Steve: Yes. Computers are so much faster and easier to use.

Lynn: That‘s right. It‘s a dog robot. They call it a ―dogbot.‖

Pam: How interesting! … But it‘s a little strange, don‘t you think?

Lynn: Well, I wanted to get an interactive toy for the kids. They love it. So I‘m happy.

Pam: How much did it cost?

Lynn: Don‘t ask. It wasn‘t very affordable. It‘s cheaper than having a real dog, though. We don‘t ever have to buy dog food! And the batteries are rechargeable.

Juliana: Really?

Henrik: A lot of people have games on their cell phones. It‘s really popular here in Finland. They play them everywhere.

Juliana: Do you play them, too?

Henrik: Yes, I do.

Juliana: I only use my phone to make telephone calls. I guess I‘m old-fashioned.

Henrik: I heard that some people play games even at work. They can play quietly during business meetings. No one knows about it.

Juliana: I‘d like to try it.

Henrik: Here, use mine!

Ted: No, that‘s OK. I‘ll call him after 3:30. Please give him the message.

Track 4-2-OL-4

E-mail is my favourite way to communicate. I think it is as fast as a fax machine, and it is as easy as a cell phone. Of course, e-mail has some problems, too. It isn‘t as affordable as ordinary mail, because you need a computer and Internet service. And I don‘t think it is as reliable as a fax machine. Sometimes e-mail messages get lost. But in my opinion, e-mail is as convenient as a cell phone. I can send a message from my home or office, and my friends can read it when they have time.

Track 4-2-OL-5&4-2-OL-6

In today‘s report, we look at a new technology called pervasive computing.

Pervasive computing means putting tiny computers into everyday electronic appliances, such as toasters and microwaves. With pervasive computing, appliances can communicate with their users – and with other appliances!

Some companies now sell pervasive computing products like a ―smart‖ toaster. It remembers your favourite kind of toast: light or dark. Companies are designing a ―smart‖ coffee maker and a ―smart‖ clock. The coffee maker can measure the water and coffee. It can even put milk in your breakfast coffee and make black coffee in the afternoon. The clock will check the time on other clocks in your house, and give information about other appliances. For example, it can te ll you, ―Your coffee maker needs more water.‖And that‘s only the beginning. One company is now advertising ―Save time –phone your washing machine!‖ engineers are making a ―smart‖ house. In this house, the lights, heater, and air conditioner change automatically when family members come home. This makes the home comfortable, and it saves a lot of energy. Pervasive computing could change many parts of our daily lives.

But do people really want pervasive computing? Do they really need technology everywhere? One company asked people about their opinions on ―smart‖ appliances. There were surprises. A ―smart‖ refrigerator can buy more food on the internet, but people didn‘t want it, because it might make mistakes.

―Pervasive computing is as important as a telephone,‖ says Rebecca Blair, president of InnoTech Corporation. But some of these products are not useful, or even practical. Companies should learn more about the technology that people really want.

Local girl rescued

She may have a broken leg, but she can‘t be happier. Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.

Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

―There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don‘t remember anything,‖ said Morgan.

The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath. She coul dn‘t escape.

―I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg. I couldn‘t move it. I was starting to get cold.‖Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using ―rescue robots‖ was tried for the first time.

―We were nervous about using the robot,‖ said Derrick Sneed, the man in charge of the program. ―But in the end, the robot gave us reliable information. It went extremely well.‖

The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan‘s exact position.

―We send in robots first because it may not be safe for humans,‖ said Mr. Sneed. ―Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations. A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me but wouldn‘t hurt a robot.‖

Although it didn‘t happen in Morgan‘s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.

Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.

Doctors say that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?

―I want to meet my hero,‖ laughs Morgan. ―That little robot that saved my life!‖

Approximately 175,000 people live in the Republic of Vanuatu, an island chain east of Australia. It is

a popular tourist destination because there‘s a lot to do there: you can visit waterfalls, go horseback

riding, take an aerial tour, or visit a traditional Ni-Vanuatu village. Vanuatu is most famous for its scuba diving and snorkeling.

In an effort to draw attention to these popular water sports, Vanuatu has created a world‘s ―first‖: the government has opened an underwater post office. You have to be a certified scuba driver to work there. The office is three meters below the surface in an area on the outskirts of Port Vila, the capital city. So far, the post office has hired four workers. They will work in a room surrounded by the beauty of Vanuatu‘s underwater world. Customers will buy waterproof p ostcards on land and then drive down to the post office to receive a special waterproof stamp.

Interviewer: I want to be a V.J. How I get the job?

Interviewer: What is your job, Steven?

Interviewer: What is the worst part of your job?

Steven: I have to be very punctual. If I say I‘ll arrive on Monday at 6:00, I have to be there by Monday at 6:00. I have to be dependable. It‘s stressful at times.

Interviewer: What was your most memorable moment?

Steven: I drove across the desert as the sun was setting. It was incredible!

Interviewer: I want to be a car courier. How do I get the job?

He may have been your typical teenager in most ways. But he was very different in one particular way: he started his own magazine. At the age of 15 he managed the magazine called Student. It was written for and about young people in school. He was very busy, but it was a satisfying job.

His next business venture was completely different. He and some friends started a mail order record company. It was also the same year, 1970, when his music discount store was opened in England. It made a lot of money.

In the early 1990s, he sold his successful music business and used the money for another business idea: an airline company. And so, Virgin Airways Ltd. was born. To compete with other airlines, his company offered good prices to customers. Today Virgin is known for its excellent service.

Richard Branson now runs the Virgin Group, Ltd. He employs 50,000 people and in many different fi elds, such as book publishing, fi nancial services, modeling, and even bridal services! Not bad for a teenager from the UK who dreamed of editing his own magazine!

A. You will listen to a passage about Microsoft Corporation. Then write down as much information as possible about Microsoft.

Microsoft Corporation

Microsoft Corporation is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, its best selling flagship products are the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft ships products to Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It manages branch offices in more than 60 countries. It has nearly 90,000 employees in 105 countries by 2008.

Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975. In the mid-1980s, it rose to dominate the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS. Since 1985, Microsoft has released an upgrading line of Windows operating systems featuring a friendly user interface. The latest one, Windows Vista, was released in January 2007 and has sold 140 million copies to date.

As one commentator notes, Microsoft‘s original mission was ―a computer on every desk and in every home, running Microsoft software,‖ and now it is a goal near fulfillment. Microsoft also makes profits in other markets such as computer hardware products and home entertainment products.

Track 4-5-OL-4&4-5-OL-5

A.You will listen to a passage which protests against advertising and shopping. Then fill in the blanks with

words from the passage.

A different kind of holiday: shop less, live more!

Advertising is everywhere. It‘s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shirts and billboards. Every day, you see hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?

A group in Canada says ―No.‖ In 1991, they stared an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours. The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it‘s the first day of the Christmas shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for family and close friends.

However, this ―season‖ has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many people feel that they are forgetting the real significance of the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.

Of course, Buy Nothing Day supporters don‘t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life. Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: ―Our message is clear: Shop less, live more!‖

Track-4-5-OL-6&4-5-OL-7

B.Listen to the talk about a dvertising, ―Ad or no ad?‖ Complete the statements.

Ad or no ad?

Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it‘s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!

Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (―no-ad‖ stands for ―not advertised‖) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.

NO-AD sells by word of mouth. ―Word-of-mouth advertising‖ happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.

Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, ―Students show that our product i s the best,‖ or ―Everyone loves this product,‖ it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It‘s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends‘ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.

Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It‘s cost-effective (after all, it‘s free) and a company doesn‘t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word-of-mouth advertising:

●Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always

carry business cards.

●Only say positive things about your company. Don‘t say negative things about your company.

●Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good

fortune will come back to you.

Megan: Hmmm, the Hotel Ritz. It's in the center of Paris -- great for sightseeing. Lots of famous

George: Why not?

Megan: It's the Coco Chanel suite. You have to wear designer clothes and you don't have any!

George: Very funny.

Megan: Wow! The Royal Suite at Burj Al Arab is really expensive! It's almost $7,000 -- for one night! George: Yeah, but look at the details. They actually have a "helipad" -- a place for landing your helicopter.

Oh, and it's also the tallest hotel in the world.

Janet: No, I didn't.

Nick: He's also appeared on TV. He's done it all!

Janet: Well, I did see the part about Jewel. Her family sure was penniless!

Janet: And then her parents divorced. She had to grow up really fast.

Nick: I know, but her life is good now. She has a great boyfriend -- he's a real-life rodeo cowboy! They seem really happy.

Money from unexpected sources

The San people live in southern Africa. Scientists say that they may have been living there for as long as 40,000 years, hunting animals and gathering plants. Until recently, the once mighty San were broke and unemployed. They had lost their land and were no longer engaged in traditional activities, such as hunting. The few young San people with jobs were working as farm laborers. They were not learning about their ancient culture and language.

That may all change. The San have struck it rich. They recently signed an agreement with a large drug company. The San have traditional knowledge about plants. The drug company is especially interested in a particular cactus and how the San use it.

The San used to go on hunting trips. While away from home, they chewed on the cactus to suppress their appetite—they no longer felt hungry afterwards. Using the San‘s knowledge, the drug company plans to make a new drug from this plant. For people around the world who eat too much and have weight problems, this new drug could really help them by suppressing their appetites.

The San have a positive plan for this new wealth. Their first step will be to get jobs for their people. Their next priority will be education. Through education, they hope to save their culture and language for future generations.

When you think of a monk, you might think of a quiet man living in an isolated place. The ―free monks‖ of Greece do live in a monastery, bu t they are anything but quiet. In fact, they sing. They have been recording their songs and selling many records in Greece.

Young music listeners love to listen to the ―free monks.‖ Their songs are recorded in different styles (digital keyboard and rock, for example), and the themes are not only religious. The brothers also sing about problems like drugs and globalization.

The monks haven‘t made a fortune from their record sales, but they have made a profit. They use the money to pay for summer camps for teenagers. At the camps, the teens can play soccer and go horseback riding. The monks also donate money to other social programs that help people.
