【原文】

Okay, okay, let‘s begin. Hello, everyone. My name‘s Susan Hudson and I‘ll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.

Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in Room 405 during the last two months of the class.

Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven‘t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.

My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well.

Task 2

【答案】

1) According to the syllabus, the book he is looking for is in the library, but he couldn‘t find it.

2) That means the student cannot find the book on the shelves in its usual place. She/He needs to go to a special room called the reserve room.

3) The professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.

1) F, 2) T, 3) F

【原文】

Librarian: Can I help you?

Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the

library, but I haven‘t been able to find it.

Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?

Student: Yes, uh...I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is.

Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you

cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called

the reserve room. It‘s down the hall and to the right.

Student: I‘m sorry — I still don‘t understand what you mean by on reserve.

Librarian: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have

the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the

opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.

Student: So, will I be able to find this book?

Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she

MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library,

and all students have a chance to read it.

Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.

Librarian: Will there be anything else?

Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!

【原文】

Randall: Hi Faith. Do you have a minute?

Faith: Sure. What‘s up?

Randall: Well, I just wanted to go over the schedule for Wednesday‘s orientation meeting to make sure everything is ready.

Faith: Okay. Here‘s a copy of the tentative schedule. [Okay.] Now, the registration starts at 8:30 and goes until 9:15. [All right.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at 9:30. Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until 10:30, but now we have someone from the international center coming to speak to the students on extracurricular activities, so how about ending the meeting around 11?

Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from 11:15 until noon [OK.], followed by 20-minute break before lunch. [OK.] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a 45-minute tour starting at 1:30. [Oh. OK.] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.

Randall: Great. Now, how about the oral interviews?

Faith: Well, we‘re planning to start them at 2:15.

Randall: Uh, well, teachers are going to be up to their ears in preparations, and they‘ll be hard pressed to start then.

Faith: Ok, let‘s get things rolling around 2:45.

Randall: Ok, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk?

Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a haystack. [Oh, it‘s not that bad.] Here, use mine.

Randall: OK. And we‘ll need 150 copies of this program guide by then.

Faith: Hey. That‘s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don‘t have to worry about them?

Randall: OK. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.

Faith: OK. So the interviews will go from 2:45 until, let‘s say, 4:30. [OK.] I hope we can wrap things up by 5.

Randall: Great. I think the bottom line is to keep things running smoothly throughout the day.

Faith: I agree. I‘ll pass this schedule by the director for a final look.

Task 6

【答案】

1) F, 2) T, 3) F

1) Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.

2) They must score between 1,430 and 1600.

3) American universities also look at a student‘s subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers‘ recommendations.

4) The SAT II is the one-hour exam that can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.

【原文】

Every year, high school juniors and seniors from across the US take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT 1).

The SAT 1 is a three-hour exam that tests students‘ math and verbal skills. Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.

Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.

A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of America‘s best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.

The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students‘records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student‘s subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers‘ recommendations.

In addition to the SAT 1, some universities require high school students to take at least three SAT IIs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.

Task 7

【答案】

1) a, 2) c, 3) d, 4)c

1) Many students attend special preparation schools besides their regular classes, in order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo.

2) These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.

【原文】

Japanese students need 12 years of study before entering universities.

They choose the places they want to go and apply before January of their final year. The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math,

science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.

In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.

Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.

5) Because we have machines.

1) F, 2) F, 3) T

【原文】

The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. It can run at a speed of about 100 kilometres an hour. The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170 km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.

Human beings are not very fast. The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40 km/h. Many animals can run faster than this. But most animals run on four legs. Four legs are better than two, aren‘t they? Why do we only have two legs?

Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things. We can pick things up with them. We can use tools. Human beings have used tools for millions of years. That is why our brains have developed. That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.

In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines. We have made cars, ships, aeroplanes and spacecraft. In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air. We can even go to the moon. No other animal has ever done that!

Task 3

【原文】

A: You know, we‘re studying din osaurs in science class. It‘s really interesting.

B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?

A: Well, no one knows for sure.

B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.

A: Yeah, that‘s one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food.

B: Uh-huh. And you know, there‘s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space.

A: That sounds crazy to me!

Task 4

【答案】

1) The mayfly. A few hours.

2) They just do two things: finding a mate and producing young.

3) We could judge by its growth rings.

4) It was kept for 152 years.

【原文】

For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell. Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again. These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young. They don‘t even have functional mouths and stomachs. They simply have no time to eat. In fact they have no time for anything else.

The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietly underwater for 220 years. However it did not have any birth certificate to prove this. One could only judge by its growth rings.

If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918. It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began and it died 152 years later as World War I came to a close.

Task 5

【答案】

People have different opinions on using animals for research.

1) for

a. was tried first on animals.

b. is dependent on

c. using unwanted animals.

2) against

a. suffer

b. unnecessary

c. the same rights

a. cell culture

b. computer modeling.

【原文】

Every year about 17 million animals are used in Laboratory experiments. But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?

People who are for using animals in research argue that the use of animals in medical research has many practical benefits. Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox and polio without animal research. Every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals.

Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals. Which is more important: the life

of a rat or that of a three-year-old child?

Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.

However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.

Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.

Animals have the same rights as humans do— to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling. There should be no animals in research laboratories at all.

Task 6

【答案】

1) No.

2) Because zoo officials want him to produce cubs with another female tiger, so they don‘t want him to become too interested in this family.

1) four months

2) 13 kilograms

3) horse meat, their mother‘s milk.

4) the National Zoo‘s Website

1) c, 2) c, 3) b

【原文】

Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D. C. can see three new young tigers. The rare babies met the public for the first time late last month. Ch ip O‘Neal tells us about them.

The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other playfully. Then Korenchy also jumped into the games. Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago. They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy. The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13 kilograms. Their fur is dark orange with black stripes. They eat horse meat and drink milk from Korenchy.

Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers. Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are now in danger of disappearing from the earth. Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world. That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.

Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia. The girl was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program. Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three tines. The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo. Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.

A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies. Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue. They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs. However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too

interested in this family.

The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran tiger cubs for at least 18 months before sending them to other zoos. That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave their mothers. The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers‘ living area, so people with computers can see them. To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo‘s Website at www. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5610142147.html,/natzoo.

Task 7

4) No.

a) food especially prepared for cats

b) other equipment

c) with images of cats

d) in special burial grounds

a) pleasure

b) care

c) being alone

d) independent

1) F, 2) F, 3) T, 4) F, 5) F

【原文】

An old expression says, ―Man‘s best friend is his dog.‖ Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dogs as the most popular pets in American homes.

Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs. But even more cats— more than 64 million — live in American homes.

These pet cats may have long hair or short hair. They are different colors and sizes. Some are costly animals that take part in competitions. Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.

Most house cats live a good life. They are not expected to work for their food. Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens. They wait for their owners to serve them.

Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These concerns have made the care of cats into big business.

Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners even bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.

Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries. Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8000 years ago. The small house cat was once a highly honored animal. In ancient Egypt, for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.

Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however. They probably arrived in the United States with settlers and traders from Europe. These cats worked. They killed rats and mice.

Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats. During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working for the devil. Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.

Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes. People cared for the cats because the animals gave them pleasure. The cats thanked people for feeding them by making a purring sound. This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.

Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone if the owners are away.

Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all. They say dogs are better and more loving pets. They say cats do not have much feeling. They believe cats stay with people only to be fed. Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism. They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.

A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around — they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy — this does not mean they do not love their owners.

Task 8

【答案】

Little Steve has a pet rabbit, Bunny. He plays with it every day after school. One day his mother sees that her little boy is holding Bunny by the ears. From time to time he gives the poor rabbit an angry shake and says: ―How much is two plus two?‖

―Steve,‖ says his mother, ―Why do you treat your poor little Bunny that way?‖

―Well,‖ explains Steve angrily, ―Our teacher says that rabbits multiply very quickly, but this dummy can‘t even add.‖

Task 9

【答案】

Most mammals live on land, but not all of them. Millions of years ago, some mammals went back to the sea and lived there. The legs of these animals disappeared, and after a long time they looked like fish. These animals became whales and dolphins.

Whales and dolphins are still like other mammals in many ways. They are warm-blooded and they breathe air. They also have big brains. That is why they are more intelligent than fish. Whales have the biggest brains in the world. Their brain is bigger than the brain of a human being.

2) He wants to organize a band.

3) To win.

【原文】

My hobby is sky-diving. Do you know what that is? I jump from an aeroplane and fall through the air. I open my parachute only when I‘m very close to the ground. Of course it‘s rather dangerous. Perhaps that‘s why I enjoy it. I think it‘s fun. Very few women do it. But we‘re just as good at it as men.

I‘m ve ry interested in music. In my free time I play and listen to it. I can play the guitar and the flute. I enjoy all kinds of music but my favorite is folk music. Good folk music. I like classical music, too. But I prefer folk music. I‘d like to have my own g roup some day.

I love all kinds of sports but my favorite is tennis. But I don‘t enjoy watching it. I only enjoy playing it. And when I play I want to win. That‘s very important. I hate losing!

Task 2

【答案】

1) F, 2) F, 3) T, 4) T

She was taught where to sit in the aeroplane, how to jump out, how to guide the parachute, and how to land safely on the ground.

【原文】

I made my first parachute jump because I had read an article about it and I had always wanted to try it.

Before the jump I went to six training classes. I was taught where to sit in the aeroplane, how to jump out, how to guide the parachute, and how to land on the ground safely.

On the big day I was very nervous. The weather was cloudy, but the pilot thought it was all right, so the two of us (the instructor and I) got into the aeroplane with the pilot, and Helen Gray got into the other. (She wanted to take some parachuting photographs.) We took off and climbed to 1000 metres. I was really very frightened waiting for the big moment! Then the instructor told me to jump. I looked out of the open door and saw the ground below. It was the most terrifying moment of my life! I closed my eyes and jumped.

It was a great relief when the parachute opened! I looked up and saw the orange canopy. Below me was the landing area. It was really beautiful falling peacefully through the air. I landed well and waited for the instructor. Then we picked up our parachutes and went off to have a coffee and talk about the jump.

Parachuting is definitely more exciting than other things I have done before — like mountain climbing and sailing —and it‘s more fun, too. I‘m going to make my second jump next week.

Task 3

1) a, 2) c

a – c – b

【原文】

When I was seven years old, my family grew our first square watermelon. No one had ever seen a square watermelon before, so it became an instant celebrity. People visited our garden to see the unusual fruit, and I even took it to school for show-and-tell.

What‘s so great about square watermelons? Well, besides their odd shape, the melons stack nicely, fit in the refrigerator, and won‘t roll off the table.

Whenever people ask how they can grow their own square watermelons, my dad tells them to ―use square seeds‖. Truthfully, though, my dad discovered the key to square frui t by accident.

Every summer we plant a small vegetable garden. To keep the young fruit from rotting on the moist ground, my dad props them on cinder blocks. In 1996, we returned from vacation to find a young melon stuck in the centre of a cinder block. The watermelon had grown inside the block until it was wedged too tightly to remove.

―We didn‘t want to kill it, so we just left it there,‖ my father remembers. ―At harvest time when we broke the cinder block, we found a perfectly healthy melon — but it was also perfectly square.‖

Since that summer my family has been growing square watermelons on purpose.

Matthew: Yes, that‘s right.

Philip: That‘s fantastic. When did you start karate?

Matthew: Six years ago. When I was four.

Philip: Only four? Why did you choose karate?

Matthew: Because I liked it. And because I wanted to be strong.

Philip: Weren‘t you strong?

Matthew: Oh no. I had a hole in my heart when I was born. So I was very ill. Then I had a big preparation in hospital. But I was still weak and tired all the time. So I started karate. Philip: Was it difficult at first?

Philip: What a splendid story! Thank you Matthew. And enjoy your special day in London. Matthew: Thanks. Goodbye.

Task 5

【答案】

1) On the wall. In his bath.

2) They are constellations.

3) Texas.

4) Through writing, she could express herself and get her troubles out. She could write about things she is reluctant to say in front of people or some serious matters.

5) The first prize in inter-school competitions.

【原文】

My hobbies are collecting stickers and writing songs. I like collecting stickers because some are cool and if I collect enough I can fill up my wall with stickers. I also like writing songs, like ―Baby,Don‘t Leave Me‖, because I always think of them in the shower.

My favorite hobby is stargazing, because I think it is a challenge to look for the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, and all those other constellations. I think it is almost like doing a word search because you have to concentrate and look carefully for the constellations.

One of our favorite hobbies is looking for license plates of other states. So far, we have seen 22 different states, and we‘ve also seen Guam, a territory of the United States. We enjoy this hobby because we usually see Texas, so it‘s fun to see another kind of license plate.

I have many different hobbies. But my favorite hobby is writing. I have dreams of becoming

an author, novelist, or journalist. I enjoy writing stories and poems the most. I love writing because there are so many different styles and because writing is the best way for me to express myself and to get my troubles out. I don‘t really like to talk in front of a lot of people or about serious matters. So that‘s where writing comes in handy.

Dancing is my favorite hobby. I have given three to four stage performances. I have also participated in the inter-school competitions, and I have won first prize for my school. Winning prizes and dancing on stage encourages me to learn more.

Task 6

【答案】

1) a, 2) b, 3) a

1) F, 2) T

【原文】

David was a young man who worked in an office in a big city. His hobby was fishing, but he didn‘t often get a chance to practice it.

Then one summer he decided to have a holiday in a beautiful place in the mountains where there were a lot of streams. ―I ought to be able to have some good fishing there, ―he said to himself.

The first morning after he arrived, he walked to the nearest stream with his fishing rod. He saw an old man standing beside the water, so he asked him whether it was a private stream. The old man answered it was not, so David then said to him,‖Well, then it won‘t be a crime if I catch some fish here, will it?‖

―Oh, no.‖ answered the old man. ―It won‘t be a crime, but it will certainly be a miracle.‖

Task 7

【答案】

1) b, 2) d

1) Because the man was fishing in a small pool of rain-water about five centimeters deep.

2) Joe also thought that he was out of his mind and he pitied him.

3) He was trying to catch some people who are willing to offer him free drinks.

4) Eight.

【原文】

Joe was going to his usual bar before lunch when he saw a poorly dressed man fishing in a small pool of rain-water about five centimeters deep outside it.

Joe stopped and watched the poor man for a few minutes. He saw that most of the people who passed by him believed he was mad.

Joe pitied the man, so after a few minutes he went up to him and said: ―Hello. Would you like to come into the bar and have a drink with me?‖

The fisherman was delighted to accept his offer and the two men went into the bar together. Joe bought the fisherman a few drinks, and finally said to him, ―You‘ve been fishing outside here, haven‘t you? How many did you manage to catch this morning, if I may ask?‖

―You are the eighth,‖ the fisherman answered merrily.

Task 8

【答案】

1) d, 2) a, 3) b

1) F, 2) F

【原文】

Journalist: Er… roughly, when did you begin collecting badges?

Simpson: At my primary school, I think. The teachers used to give out badges to pupils who were particularly good at certain things. So I got a little blue badge with the word

―swimming‖ on it, and then another one I remember — it was green — which had the

word ―tidy‖ on it! Ha!

Journalist: And have you still got those badges in your collection?

Simpson: No… well, I‘ve got the swimming badge, but I think I was so untidy that I must have lost the tidy badge years ago!

Journalist: And you started collecting badges, then, from that, the age of about nine? Simpson: Er, yeah, I guess so… eight or nine or so. That‘s right. In those days — we‘re talking about the early 50s — there weren‘t so many cars around as there are today. So filling

stations didn‘t have so many customers. So the petrol companies used to give out

badges. I suppose they thought that kids whose parents had a car would keep asking

them to go to a particular filling station so that they could get another free badge. My

dad bought our first car in 1956 — I think it was a black Ford Popular—and every time

I went out with him in it I used to ask him to go to a different petrol station so that I

could add more to my growing badge collection. Actually, he was a very shy man, my

father, and I‘m sure he didn‘t like asking for free thingd.

Journalist: So petrol company badges were the first ones in your collection, weren‘t they? Simpson: After ―swimming‖ and ―tidy‖, yeah. But soon all sorts of companies started making badges to advertise their products, even cigarette companies. I‘ve got one in my

collection f or Will‘s Woodbines — they were the cheapest cigarettes in those days —

and on the badge, at the bottom, it says, ―Smoked by Millions‖— no health warnings

in those days.

Task 9

【答案】

1) In the United States a university professor is granted a few months of freedom from his duties approximately every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a ―sabbatical‖ leave.

2) Some of the usual duties of a college president are giving speeches, dealing with the government and taking part in various social activities.

3) Dr. Coleman started his sabbatical leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working 13 hours a day in fields and barns, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches, in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.

By doing the hard manual labor, Dr. Coleman wanted to remind himself of the common things about people. Therefore he could com to life with the fact that he was just the same as everyone else, not the ―powerful‖person he might think himself to be after being the college president for too long.

4) After two months of working with his hands, Coleman returned from his unusual sabbatical leave, convinced that the experience had been worthwhile. He had some good things to say about people who do hard physical work. He found that pride and satisfaction came chiefly in the form of praise from co-workers.

【原文】

In the United States a university professor is granted a few months of freedom from his duties approximately every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a ―sabbatical‖ leave.

Few sabbatical leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his sabbatical leave.

―I wanted to get away from the world of words and politics and parties—the things a president does,‖ Dr. Coleman later explained to reporters. ―As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don‘t. You forget things about people. I wanted to relearn things I‘d forgotten.‖

Telling no one of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his sabbatical leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working 13 hours a day in fields and barns, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches, in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.

This unusual sabbatical leave was conducted in great secrecy. Coleman telephoned his family once a week, ―just to let someone know where I was and that I was healthy.‖

None of his students or co-workers at Haverford College knew what their president was doing. On each job he avoided letting people know who he was. ―When people would ask me about myself, I‘d try to turn the conversation back to them,‖he explained. ―Some co-workers might have thought I was a little different, a little quiet maybe, but I doubt anyone knew I was a college president.‖

There was only one employer who sensed something unusual. ―At a restaurant in Boston, I had been on the job exactly one hour — I was washing dishes — when the boss came over and said, ?I‘m afraid you won‘t do.‘ and handed me two dollars. ―

―Immediately I asked him why, but he just said, ?It‘s not your work. Sorry.‘‖That was the first time in more than 30 years as a job holder that Coleman had heard such words. It helped him understand how a man of his age might feel when he suddenly realized he had lost his job.

After two months of working with his hands, Coleman returned from his unusual sabbatical leave, convinced that the experience had been worthwhile. He had some good things to say about people who do hard physical work. ―A lot of my co-workers would complain when the work was too heavy,‖ he said, ―but they‘d complain a lot more when there was nothing to do.‖He found that pride and satisfaction came chiefly in the form of praise from co-workers. Even though pay was important, what brought the greatest satisfaction was knowing that someone had noticed how a job was being done.

Task 10

【答案】

I love trees because they have many different shades of green, so many that it‘s almost impossible to count. When I paint a picture of a tree I use many shades of green and many more shades of brown. My favorite thing about trees is that they always seem to have a glow around them.

I love trees because they always smell so fresh and clean. I like to go to the nursery because I love the smell of trees — it‘s so refreshing. It‘s a glass of cool water on a hot day, or a damp cloth on a hot forehead.

One of my favorite things about trees is that they are fun to climb. I started climbing trees when I was very little. My dad taught me how to climb, along with some useful tips. I especially like to climb my grandpa‘s apple tree.

1) He stood up and rang the bell.

2) He wanted to make sure that the driver heard him.

3) The conductor came and shouted at him.

4) The landlady told him that‘s the signal for the driver to go on and only the conductor was allowed to ring the bell twice. That‘s why the conductor got so annoyed.

【原文】

A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn‘t stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him.

The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn‘t understand a word. The bus stopped at the next bus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, ―I think he‘s a foreigner.‖

When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident.

―How many times did you ring the bell?‖ she asked.

―Twice,‖ said Henri.

―Well, that‘s the signal for the driver to go on,‖ his landlady explained. ―Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twice. That‘s why he got so annoyed.‖

Henri nodded. ―I see,‖ he said.

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their

Unit 1 Parents Part B Listening Tasks Passage 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) Exercise 1 Listen to the recording and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. After 22 years of marriage,I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, "Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer." The "other" woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. "What's wrong?" she asked. "I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you," I said. "Just the two of us." "I would like that a lot," she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door
