Conversation 1

Li:What a wonderful view! This is such a great city!Do you ever get tired of living in London, Andy?

A;"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford" Li:That's a quotation by Samuel Johnson, isn't it?

A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?

Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.

A; And you will find a job?

Li:I think I have to do my Master's before I look for work.But I must admit London is very special.Do you think you would ever leave London?

A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back here.

Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.

A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?

Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it.

A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit you

Li:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.

A:Don't make it look too good

Li:Why not?

A;Well,if you enjoy working with London Time Off, we don't want you working with anyone else Li:Oh, working with you and Joe it's great fun and really interesting. I couldn't think of a better way to find out about a city

A;So maybe you should think about applying for a job with us

Li:But do you think I'd stand a chance(有可能，有希望)?I mean, I'm not sure if Joe likes me

A:Don't even think about it!Joe is very straight talking and I promise you that you'd know if he didn't like you.

Li:Perhaps we should both update our CVs and look for jobs together

A:Hey,right!That would be fun.

李：什么是美好的景色！这是这样一个伟大的城市！你有没有厌倦过伦敦的生活，安迪？当一个人厌倦了伦敦，他就厌倦了生活，因为在伦敦，所有的生活都能承受

李：那是约翰逊塞缪尔的语录，不是吗？

答：对，你在牛津结束的时候有什么计划吗？

李：我还有一年要走，我想我会回家。

你会找到一份工作吗？

李：我想我要做我的主人的工作，但我必须承认，伦敦是非常特殊的，你认为你会离开伦敦吗？

当然，我喜欢到中国来，有一天，我喜欢旅行。但我想我会永远回到这里。

李：嗯，你的根在这里，有很多机会。

你有想过在伦敦住上一两年吗？

李：是的，但我能在这里做什么？我本来打算当一名教师，但我经常想，如果我能在这里出版一份工作，也许作为一名编辑，我会去做的。

这听上去是个好主意，我想那会很适合你

李：也许我应该更新我的简历，把它发给一个或两家出版商。

不要让它看起来太好

李：为什么不呢？

如果你喜欢和伦敦的时间一起工作，我们不希望你和其他人一起工作

李：哦，与你和乔一起工作很有趣，真有趣。我想不出一个更好的办法来了解一个城市

也许你应该考虑申请一份工作

李：但你认为我会站在一个机会（有可能，有希望）？我是说，我不知道乔是否喜欢我答：不要想它！乔非常直率，我向你保证，如果他不喜欢你，你会知道的。

李：也许我们都应该更新我们的简历和找工作在一起

答：嘿，对！那将是有趣。

Conversation 2

Li:Talking about future plans,how do you see your career developing?

A:My career?Well, I like working for London Time Off.It's a part of a larger media company called Lift off USA,so there are lots of opportunities.But...

Li:But...What?

A:It's not always very easy working with Joe.I mean,I kind of think he has a different agenda （different way of thinking from Andy不一样的想法）.I like his work, but sometimes I don't think his heart is in his job.

Li:How did he end up in London?

A:He did media studies in the States,and then found work as a gofer（杂工）at Lift off USA in New York.

Li:What's a gofer?

A:Go for this,go for that.It's a word for the least experienced person in the film and TV industry.Then he came to London and got a proper job as a researcher at Lift off UK,and then after a few years he got the producer's job in London Time Off

Li:He is good at his job,isn't he?

A:Yes,he is confident and competent at what he does,so the people who work with him rate him quite highly（speak highly of）.

Li:Except you?

A:No,I rate him too.And I get on with him quite well,although we are not best budies or anything like that,it's just...I want his job!

Li:Now we know your little secret.I promise I won't tell anyone

A:Janet,there was something I was going to ask you...

Li:Sure,what is it?

A:I was wondering...oh,it's nothing.Anyway,all this talk about your future career is making me thirsty.Let's go for a drink.

Li:Who is round ?

A:You...

李：谈论未来的计划，你怎么看你的职业发展？

我的职业？嗯，我喜欢在伦敦的时间工作，这是一个大的媒体公司的一部分，所谓的美国电梯，所以有很多的机会…

李：但是……什么？

答：这并不总是很容易的工作与乔。我的意思是，我想他有一个不同的议程（从安迪不一样的想法思维方式不同）。我喜欢自己的工作，但有时我觉得他的心在他的工作。

李：他是怎么到伦敦的？

答：他在美国做媒体研究，然后发现工作是一个助手（杂工）在剥离美国纽约。

李：一个助手是什么？

答：走这一点，去看电影和电视行业中最不有经验的人，然后他到伦敦去，在英国的电梯里找到一份合适的工作，再过几年，他在伦敦的时间里得到了制片人的工作。

李：他对他的工作很好，不是吗？

答：是的，他对他所做的工作充满信心和能力，所以与他一起工作的人很高（高度的说）。李：除了你？

答：不，我认为他也是。我跟他相处得很好，虽然我们不是最好的budies或什么的，只是…我想他的工作！

李：现在我们知道你的小秘密，我保证不会告诉任何人

答：珍妮特，我有事要问你…

李：当然，那是什么？

我在想……哦，这是什么也没有，总之，所有这一切谈论你的未来事业是让我渴了，让我们去喝一杯。

谁是圆的？

答：你…

Outsideview :How to get a job

Graduation.What a big day!Your life is about to begin!And then your parents say..."Get a job".I tell you!Looking for your first job out of college can be pretty hard.Reading all the job listing is so annoying.Even trying to figure out what the actual job is can be difficult.Searching through the want ads can be so boring.And writing your resume is really hard work.

"I don't have that day open."Getting a job interview,and then going on it—the whole process is pretty tough.

"Sorry to keep you waiting.Uh,have a seat.""I have your resume here,and you are interested in the assistant's position."

"Yeah,yeah"

"Well,the right candidate for this job has to be very outgoing and sociable.After all it is a sale position."

"Well, I'm a real extrovert(性格外向的人).Definitely."

"And the right candidate has to have great self-confidence.Customers need to feel that you know what you're talking about."

"Well, I'm really self-confident.Um I know what I'm talking about and I think I can project that"

"So,what skills would you bring to this job?"

""Well, I realize that I'm completely overqualified for this position.I mean,um,in my last job,I was running the whole place."

"Oh,so you've supervised people?"

"Yep,five of them.So,obviously I could do this job,no problem.I also have really good

computer skills.Um what else do you want to know about me?"

"Eh..."

Even though I was trying really hard,even though I had sent out about 300 resumes,even though I asked all my friend and relatives if they knew of anything.I wasn't getting anywhere!Despite all my best efforts,I was still unemployed.

"Please,why don't you see a career counsellor（顾问）?I'll pay for it.Anything to help you get a job!"

"Samantha,I'm Phyllis Stein.Welcome""Oh,hi,Phyllis.Nice to meet you."

So I figure,heck,why not?I met with Phyllis Stein,a professional job coach.

"Interviewing is vital to getting the job that you want."She showed me how to prepare for an interview by doing research on the position and the company.And latter,she coaching me on my interviewing skills.

"I am going to pretend to be your interviewer,and then we'll stop it and replay it and look at the video and see what we could learn from that.OK?""I don't think that you should go into an interview having not practised with some of the questions that are pretty standard."

"Tell me about yourself."

"Well,my parents—my mom is a social worker,and my dad is an engineer."

"Your preparation is really important."

"What do you know about our organization?"

"Well,I saw on,um,on the Internet that ,you do business publishing?Right?"

"There is a whole range of things that have to do with how you present yourself/"

"Why should I hire you?"

"Oh,well.,um, I'm a really outgoing person,and I like,I like people a lot.I'm responsible and nice."

"You need to think about what the interviewer is actually looking for."

"Samantha, what was a major problem that you've encountered and how did you solve it?"

"I haven't really had any problems to deal with. "

"Thank you.Now let's look at your mock interview on videotape. ""I think it boils down （归结为）to preparation,presentation, and understanding what the interviewer is looking for "

(Watching the videotape)

"Another way of answering it is not telling about yourself ,but telling your relationship to the job."So,they don't care so much about your parents and that you want to live in Cambridge.They may need you to be able to be a troubleshooter.You use some examples in your life from being a troubleshooter.""One of the things that someone who is an assistant in a trade show is doing,is dealing with problems.You need to be sure that you stay,sort of ,on target with preventing,presenting yourself in the strongest possible way."

This time I felt a lot more confident when I went in for the interview.

"I have developed strong communication skills.In college I worked on the school paper and I brought some writing samples to show you.""I also worked every summer at a bed-and-breakfast.""I worked a lot with our guests.I booked reservation over the phone,got them what they needed,and handled any complains.""Well,I feel like I did really well.We'll see. "

Making a good first impression is the most important part of a job interview.

Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.

It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefully

Not fidgeting（坐立不安，烦躁）and being confident are the most important things in a job interview.

Writing a thank-you note is the most important thing you want to do after a job interview/ And go in there with a firm handshake.

毕业了，多么大的一天！你的生活即将开始！你父母说……“找工作”，我告诉你！寻找你的第一份工作很难，阅读所有的工作都是很烦人的，甚至想找出什么实际的工作是很难的，通过你的简历搜索你的简历真的很难。

“我没那么一天开着。”得到一份工作面试，然后去它的整个过程是相当艰难的。

“对不起，你在等着。嗯，有个座位。”“我在这里有你的简历，你对助理的职位很感兴趣。”“是啊，是啊”

“好吧，这项工作的合适人选必须非常外向，善于交际，毕竟这是一个销售职位。”

“嗯，我是一个非常外向的人（性格外向的人）。肯定。”

“应聘者有很大的self-confidence.customers需要感觉，你知道你在说什么。”

“好吧，我真的self-confident.um我知道我在说什么，我想我可以，”

“那么，你能给这项工作带来什么技能？”

“嗯，我知道我完全大材小用这个位置。我的意思是，嗯，在我的上一份工作，我跑了整个地方。”

“哦，你有监督人吗？”

“是的，他们中的五个。所以，我可以做这个工作，没问题。我也有很好的计算机技能。嗯，你还想知道关于我的什么？”

“嗯……”

即使我真的很努力，虽然我已经发了约300份简历，即使我问我的朋友和亲戚，如果他们知道什么，我没有得到任何地方！尽管我尽了最大努力，我还是失业了。

“拜托，你为什么不看职业顾问（顾问）？我会为你付出的，有助于你找到一份工作！”“萨曼莎，我是菲利斯·斯坦。欢迎”“哦，你好，phyllis.nice见到你。”

所以我想，见鬼，为什么不呢？我会见了菲利斯斯坦，一个专业的教练。

“面试对你想要的工作至关重要”，她告诉我如何通过对职位和公司的研究来面试面试，而后者则在我的面试技巧上指导我。

“我要假装是你的面试官，然后我们会阻止它，并重播，看看视频，看看我们可以从中学习，好吗？”我认为你不应该去接受一个没有实践过的一些问题，这是相当标准的问题。”

“告诉我你自己。”

“好吧，我的父母我的妈妈是一名社会工作者，我的爸爸是一名工程师。”

“你的准备很重要。”

“你对我们公司了解多少？”

“嗯，我在网上看到了，你在网上做生意吗？对吗？”

“有一系列的事情，必须做的，你如何目前自己/”

“我为什么要雇用你？”

“噢，嗯，我是一个非常外向的人，我喜欢，我喜欢的人很多，我负责和尼斯。”

“你需要考虑面试官的实际情况。”

“萨曼莎，你遇到的一个主要问题是什么？你是怎么解决的？”

“我真的没有什么问题要处理。”

“谢谢，现在让我们来看看你在录像带上的模拟面试吧。”我认为这归结（归结为）来制备，演示，并了解面试官在寻找“

（观看录像带）

“另一种回答是不告诉自己，而是告诉你的关系的工作。”所以，他们不太关心你的父母，你想生活在剑桥。他们可能需要你能够成为一个疑难解答。你用你生活中的一些实例从一个疑难解答”。“一个谁是在一个贸易展助理是做事情，处理问题，你需要确保你留下，排序，目标与预防，呈现自己最可能的途径。”

这一次，当我去参加面试的时候，我有了更多的自信。

“我在大学里工作过，我在学校工作过，我也带了一些样品给你看。”“我在床上和早餐做过很多工作。我和客人一起工作过。我预订了电话，得到了他们需要的东西，并且处理了任何抱怨。”

做一个好的第一印象是面试中最重要的一个部分。

准时到达和自信是求职面试中最重要的部分。

很重要的是你要自信，你要清楚自己的回答，仔细听

不要坐立不安（坐立不安，烦躁）和自信在面试中最重要的东西。

写一封感谢信是你面试后要做的最重要的事情/

在那里用坚定的握手。

Listening in

"It's not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't"

This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.

Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.

Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.

He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage（积累优势）,a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.

Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.

In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take

advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.

Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.It's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.

“问什么成功的人是不足够的，这是唯一的要求，他们是从我们可以解开背后谁成功，谁不”的逻辑

这是一个有趣的书称为离群点的基本思路，由美国记者马尔科姆·格拉德威尔。该书探讨的例子，有助于人们在他们的职业生涯非常成功，因素，角色的家庭，文化和朋友玩。Gladwell探讨为什么加拿大冰球运动员大多数是出生在日历年的前几个月，什么微软的创始人比尔盖茨没有实现他非凡的成功，为什么披头士设法重新定义在上世纪60年代流行音乐的整体。

格拉德威尔指出加拿大新兵从一月一日青年冰球联赛，让玩家出生在年初更大，更强更好的运动员比其他人在今年晚些时候出生的，因为他们在自己的运动生涯的开始有这个优势，为他们提供额外的培训，所以有一个更大的机会他们会被选为曲棍球队在未来的精英。

他称这种现象的累积优势（积累优势），有点像的想法，富人更富，穷人更穷。成功取决于有天赋的运动员被认定为是对自己的能力尽可能多的过程。

这有助于成功的另一个方面是10000小时的规则。伟大的成功需要时间，大量的练习和训练。例如，甲壳虫乐队的现场演出在德国汉堡1200times以上超过四年，超过10000小时格拉德威尔索赔是成功的必要条件。因此当他们回到英国，他们开发他们的才华和声音从任何其他组完全不同。

在同一种方式中，比尔盖茨有上千个小时的节目，因为他在他高中的电脑上，他也成为了一个十几岁的时候，利用计算机技术的最新发展。

离群了非凡的成功，只能从自己的生涯Gladwell的新闻25年。因此，许多城市都被看作是一本自传，其中作家似乎对自己的个人成就而道歉。但你需要应运而生的意见，在正确的的地方，在合适的家庭，然后你必须要努力工作，是一个发人深省的方式重新审视我们传统的天才和伟大的政绩观。它肯定是值得一读的，只要你不要太认真。

Listening in 2

P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric...um...you're from the States,tell me what are the typical working hours in the States?

E:Er...traditionally people go to work at 9o'clock in the morning and they finish at about 5,so sort of a 9to 5.

P:And,and Penny I...I know you're English but you work in Brazil,what are the hours in Brazil? Penny:Um varies slightly,sometimes you can start um on an early shift,say,8o'clock in the morning to 5 um or 9 until 6.But in Brazil often people will work longer hours than this.

P:Right,right ok.And what kind of clothes do you wear?I mean do you dress up formally or in a relaxed way?

E:It used to be that you would wear a jacket and tie to work for...for men but er nowadays an open shirt is ok.You don't necessarily have to wear a tie and sometimes on a Friday you can wear a pair of jeans to work.

P:Oh,right the dress down Friday?

E:The dress down Friday that's right.

P:Does that still happen?

E:Yes, yes sure it does.

P:And how about in Brazil?

Penny:Um, it's fairly casual,quite informal,um I mean you need to look neat and tidy obviously,but you,you have your own choice rely on what you would wear,there are no rules and regulations.It's important to look smart but comfortable.

P:Right,yeah do you have meal breaks or is that...you just fit in meals when you can or...?

E:Lunch,lunch is usually an hour sometimes a little shorter if you have to do a lot of work from your desk.

P:Yeah,how about Brazil?

Penny:That's the same, about an hour.

P:And,and with overtime,I mean,if you...I mean you're obviously contracted to do a certain number of hours.What happens if you do more than the hours that you...that's in you...that are in your contract?

E:I have to make a fairly um strict record of my hours so if I go beyond 5 o'clock on most days I put in for overtime.

P:Right.

E:And it's...the first hour is one of overtime and then there's I think 15minute periods after that.So I could work an hour and a quarter.

P:And you'd be paid for the quarter hours?

E:That's right,by the quarter hour.

P:How about in Brazil?

Penny:It's,it's a lot looser in Brazil actually.We we often end up doing overtime but unfortunately not paid.

P: Fine.That's hard luck.And what about holidays,what about in the States?You don't have much holidays in the States do you?

E:No.When you start at a company you get two weeks holiday or two weeks vacation as we say...

P:Yeah

E:Um then it's usually not until you've been at the company for about five ears that they give you another week.So you get three weeks after you've been there for five years.

P:And what about in Brazil?

Penny:Um it's quite good actually-30days.

P:Sounds very generous.

Penny:Yeah I can pop back to...

P:Is that 30 working days or 30 days in total?

Penny:That's 30 working days

P:Wow,that's

Penny:Yes,yeah it's a good deal.

P:What about retirement?I know it's a long way of there!When do you retire?

E:Generally speaking it's at 65.

P:And the same for women.

E:Um it's I think a little sooner than that for women.Women I think 62or 63.

P;Right ,good.And in Brazil is it similar?

Penny:Similar to the States.It's um after 60 for women.65 for men,or if you've clocked up about 30 or 35 years of service then you can retire after that.

P:Right and when...do you have a pay day?When is pay day?

E:Um,well ,we gt paid twice a month,so we get paid at the beginning of the month and then we get paid in the middle of the month at the 15th give or take(大约).

P:Yeah,and what about in Brazil?

Penny:I think it all depends which company you're working for.For the one I am working for right now I get paid twice a month but when I began,with a different company that was once a month,so,it varies.

P:And are there any company benefits that you have in the States?Do you have a company car or a pension?

E:Yeah,we get a company car.We're able to...we lease a car in effect but it's a company car that we get for 18 months to two years and then we...we can move on to another model from that.There's a fairly good pension scheme,that's still working,and hospitalization as well.

P:Oh,that's important

E:Yeah,a health plan through work is very important.

P:Right.And what about in Brazil?

Penny:Yeah,excellent benefits like that.Well I mean it does depend on the company and the status of your or your job but you might get a car,living accommodation,school for the children,they'll pay for your lunch,travel passes,gasoline,health insurance,all sorts of benefits actually it's very good.

P:Sounds very good,with the holiday and all those benefits it sounds a great place to work.

嗨，我们是在谈论在美国和巴西的典型工作时间……你是从美国来的，告诉我在美国的典型的工作时间是什么？

E：呃…传统上人们去上午九点工作，他们完成在5左右，因此一个9 5种。

教授：我知道你是英国人，但你在巴西工作，巴西的时间是多少？

彭妮：嗯略有不同，有时你可以上早班，开始嗯说，在早上8点到5微米或9到6。但在巴西，人们通常会比这更长的工作时间。

对，你穿什么样的衣服？我的意思是你穿着正式或轻松的方式？

你要穿上外套，系上领带去上班，因为男人今天穿一件衬衫就行了，你不必穿一条领带，有时星期五你可以穿一条牛仔裤去上班。

警：哦，这是星期五的衣服吗？

这是正确的，星期五的服装。

警：这仍然发生吗？

是的，是肯定的。

在巴西，怎么样？

嗯，很随意，很随便，嗯，我的意思是你需要看起来整洁整洁，但你，你有你自己的选择，依靠你会穿什么，没有规则和规章，重要的是要看起来聪明，但舒适。

对，是的，你有饭休息还是……你可以或……？

午餐，午餐通常是一个小时，如果你要做很多工作从你的桌子上，通常是一个小时的时间。是的，巴西怎么样？

那是一样的，大约一个小时。

我是说，如果你……我的意思是你很明显地要做一个小时的工作，如果你做的事超过了你……这是你的合同？

我得做一个相当严格的记录，这样我就可以在大多数日子里超过五点的时间去加班了。警：对。

E：它的第一个小时是一个加班，还有我认为15期后。所以我可以工作一个小时，一个季度。

警：你得付四分之一小时吗？

这是正确的，按季。

在巴西怎么样？

彭妮：是的，它在巴西宽松很多。我们经常会加班但不支付。

好的，那是很难的。假期，在美国呢？你没有太多的假期在美国吗？

E：发现你开始在公司你得到两周的假期或两个星期的假期我们说…

P：是的

恩：嗯，那通常是不到你在公司里五个耳朵，他们再给你一个星期，所以你在那里三个星期后五年。

巴西市的？

彭妮：嗯，很好actually-30days。

警：听起来很慷慨。

是的，我可以回到…

病人：30个工作日还是30天？

这是30个工作日

警：哇，那是

是的，是的，这是一个很好的交易。

退休怎么样？我知道这是一个很长的路！你什么时候退休？

一般说来是65。

对女性也一样。

E：嗯，这是我想早一点的妇女相比，女性我认为62or 63。

P；吧，好在巴西它是相似的？

彭妮：类似于美国。在60 women.65男人是嗯，或者如果你已经打了30年或35年的服务，然后你就可以退休之后。

是的，你有一个付款日吗？什么时候付款？

E：嗯，嗯，我们GT支付一个月两次，所以我们会在月初支付，然后我们得到报酬在本月中旬举行的第十五给予或采取（大约）。

是的，巴西呢？

我想这一切取决于你在哪家公司工作，因为我现在工作的一个月，我一个月要付两次，但是当我开始的时候，有一个不同的公司，每月一次，所以，它变化。

教授：你在美国有什么公司的福利吗？你有一辆车或一个退休金吗？

是的，我们有一辆车，我们可以租一辆车，但是这是我们18个月到两年后的车，我们可以从中移动到另一个模式。还有一个相当不错的退休金计划，那就是工作和住院。

教授：哦，那很重要

是啊，通过工作的健康计划是非常重要的。

P：在巴西那次吗？

是的，我的意思是，这取决于公司和你的工作的地位，但你可能会得到一辆车，住的住宿，

学校的孩子，他们会为你的午餐，旅行通行证，汽油，健康保险，所有种类的好处，其实是非常好的。

警：听起来很不错，有了这个假期，所有的这些好处听起来是个不错的地方。

Conversation 1

Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.

Andy: OK, sure.

Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?

Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books?

Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…

Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet? Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.

Andy: Have you read them?

Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me.

Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…

Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!

Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.

Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?

Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle（伦敦视角）?

Andy: Not necessarily.

Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?

Joe: Absolutely.

Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography（自传）of Charles Dickens which I'm reading. Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.

Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.

Joe: OK, tell us more.

Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver

Twist and David Copperfield.

Andy: Sounds right up your street（拿手的）!

Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it!

OE：好的，你什么时候完成的聊天，让我们开始工作吧。

安迪：好的，当然。

珍妮特：我很好。议程上是什么？

乔：今天第一次看的是关于它的一切！现在，我认为每个人都已经阅读了所有的书，为未来？有人读过书吗？

安迪：哦，乔，下个月有20多个新的书，所以…

乔：对不起，我真的认为那是不可接受的。这是你的工作！你呢，珍妮？

珍妮特：我很抱歉，但这是第一次我一直在阅读有关它的一切！我不知道我是想读所有的书。

安迪：你看了吗？

乔：不，但这就是为什么你是我的助手。你是为了帮助我。

安迪：这是真的，我们需要读的书，乔，但我们没有。

乔：好的，你走了。你总是找借口！

安迪：而且，我们还没有选择书呢。

乔：好吧，让我们开始吧。名单上有什么？

珍妮特：我想我们要找的书与伦敦角（伦敦视角）？

安迪：不一定。

珍妮特：可以看非小说吗？

乔：绝对。

珍妮特：好的，这里有一个办法。有一个新的传记（自传）查尔斯狄更斯，我读。

安迪：听起来不错，他的书总是在电视上。

珍妮特：你看我在大学学习的狄更斯，我注意到它在书店的最后一周。真有趣。

乔：好的，告诉我们更多的。

珍妮特：嗯，这是一个描述伦敦的地点，他把他的许多书像奥利弗的扭曲和大卫·科波菲尔。安迪：听起来你的街（拿手的）！

乔做的好，珍妮特。也许你可以告诉安迪如何计划的功能。好吧，那是每个人。让我们去吧！Conversation 2

Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?

Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.

Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this?

Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves（使某人心烦意乱）.

Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.

Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.

Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain.

Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode（集，一集）. Andy: And was he a Londoner?

Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old. Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?

Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.

Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?

Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels.

Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?

Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator（社会评论员）as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century.

It makes me want to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.

Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave（突然想到的妙计，灵感）to suggest the new biography.

Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.

Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping!

珍妮特：乔今天怎么啦？

安迪：不知道。他有点像那样。他对我很恼火，但我真的不知道为什么。

珍妮特：他并不是在所有的公平。他多久会这样？

安迪：好吧，我想这不是很经常。但有时他真的让我心烦（使某人心烦意乱）。

珍妮特：不要让它影响到你。他可能有太多的工作，他强调。

安迪：好吧，他应该让他远离工作室。无论如何，你是狄更斯的专家，告诉我一些关于他的事。

珍妮特：嗯，查尔斯狄更斯是一个在第十九世纪的英国最受欢迎的小说家。他的许多小说最初出现在杂志，在短的情节。每个人都有一个扣人心弦的结尾：没有人想看下一集（集，一集）。

安迪：他是一个伦敦人？

珍妮特：他出生在朴茨茅斯，但他的家人搬到伦敦，在他十岁的时候。

安迪：他把大部分的故事都讲在伦敦，不是吗？

珍妮特：没错。他对这个城市很熟悉。

安迪：在伦敦的下落是他的故事集？

珍妮特：在伦敦市中心的法院。他曾担任宫廷记者，他在法庭上听到许多真实的生活故事，在他的小说中激发了一些最著名的人物。

安迪：我想他的一些故事发生在河的南部？

珍妮特：没错，特别是在码头。问题是…狄更斯是一个社会评论家（社会评论员）一样，他是一个小说家，他的小说描述的苦难、贫穷、犯罪的人Y的伦敦人在第十九世纪经历了。它让我想读一些狄更斯。也许我会去买一份巨大的期望。

安迪：不管怎样，你帮了我一个很大的忙。这是一个真正的脑电波（突然想到的妙计，灵感）建议新的传记。

珍妮特：振作起来安迪。这不是你的过错。

安迪：不，这很好，我会克服的。去吧，你去享受你的购物！

British people read a lot. They read books, newspapers and magazines. And of course they read text messages on their mobile phones. Sixty-five percent of British people list "reading for pleasure" as a major hobby. A quarter of the population reads more than 20 books each year. So where do these books come from? Well, there are bookshops where you can buy books. And there are lots of public libraries where you can borrow books for free. In this library you can borrow books, but you can also buy a cup of coffee, look at an art exhibition, sit in a quiet study area or connect to the Internet. You can also now borrow CDs, videos or DVDs of films and television programmes.Some libraries even let you borrow computer games. There are often reference rooms where you can go to look something up or go to study. Many libraries have also got special rooms with books and photograghs about the historu of the area. Libraries are very important in schools and universities both for study and for reading for pleasure. The British Library is one of the world's greatest libraries. The queen opened its new building in 1998. It receives a copy of every book published in Britain, and adds three million new items every year. It's got books of course, but also sound recordings, music, maps, newspapers, and magazines. People predicted that radio, then television, then the Internet will kill reading, but it still a very popular activity.

M：So how long has your book group been running?

C：Well, let me see, it's over 20years now. I think it's actually one of the oldest books groups around, because it was only about 20years ago that they started to become fashionable in the UK.

M：And how often do you have meetings?

C：We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to（前奏，预备期）Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.

M：And how many members do you have?

C：We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can attend.

M：And what happens during the meeting?

C：Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start fairly late, around 8:30, and the host prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts.

M：It sounds quite informal.

C：It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important

than the discussion. But it's fairly rare that no one likes the book, and it gets quire interesting when opinions about it are divided.

M And what sort of books do you read?

C：Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction than I might do otherwise. But we also read the classics, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and whereas I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly（惹人恼火地）dull. And we read non-fiction. quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like poetry, which I don't, but you know, we're tolerant each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.

M：And how do you choose the books?

C：Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.

M：And that works OK?

C：Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's respect. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!

你的书组有多久了？

C：嗯，让我看看，这是现在的20年。我觉得这是一个最古老的书籍组周围，因为它只有大约20年前，他们开始在英国成为时尚。

男：你多久会有一次会议？

C：我们会每四周或五周后，尽管我们尽量避免在暑假的会议，在助跑（前奏，预备期）圣诞节的时候，我们都开始忙于其他事情。

男：你有多少会员？

我们是十个，虽然大家都能参加，但这很少见。

男：在会议期间会发生什么？

C：嗯，我们通常在我们家见面，我们开始比较晚，8:30左右，和主人准备晚餐，在吃饭的时候，有人问“你怎么看这本书吗？”和TH讨论开始时。

男：听起来挺随便的。

是的，有时如果我们不喜欢这本书，这顿饭就更重要了。但它是相当罕见的，没有人喜欢这本书，它会很有趣当OPI它分为观点。

我和你有什么样的书？

哦，各种各样的，事实上，不只是小说，虽然我必须承认，俱乐部的一个成员让我读更多的现代小说比我可能会做其他。但我们也读过经典，你知道的他小说我们都读或应该已经读了30年前，这是相当不错的乐趣，重新审视他们，看看我们的看法的书籍已经改变。最近我们读托马斯的书，而我以前也曾用过爱的时候我是一个学生，我认为这是非常沉闷（惹人恼火地）。我们读非小说。相当多的历史和旅行写作。一对夫妇的成员，如诗歌，我这样做不，但是你知道，我们彼此宽容，这让我们有机会尝试一些我们通常不会读的东西。

男：你怎么选择这些书？

晚上好的，基本上主人的人，厨师有权选择下一本书。

男：这行吗？

是的，虽然有很多的压力，在选择的东西，将赢得别人的尊重。我们有谁喜欢科幻小说的一个成员，所以我们尽量不去他的地方太多EN！

Well, thank you for your kind welcome, and for giving me the opportunity to give this brief tour of Literary England. I can't claim it's an authoritative tour, as I'm, not a professional literary specialist. However, I have two amateur passions:one is travel and the other is reading and English literature in particular. And this lecture is a description of different visits I have made to places in Britain and Ireland, chosen specifically for their close links with well-known writers of what we call the classics of English literature.

Just to give you an overview of the lecture, I'm going to start in my home town of London, which is also the home of many well-known writers. But I think that the picture we have in our mind of London has been largely fashioned by the work of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. Dickensian London is illustrated most clearly by his book Oliver Twist, and Shakespeare's London brings to mind the plays written and performed here, such as Romeo and Juliet. We'll also have a look at the memorial of freat British writers, Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.

Then off we go to Oxford, another city rich in its literary history. I'm, going to focus on the greatest of Oxford's literary alumni, JRR Tolkien, the professor of English who wrote Lord of the Rings, which is now famous throughout the world because of the recent series of films.

Then we turn south towards the gentle countryside of Hampshire, home of Jane Austen, where her various novels, including Price and Prejudice are set. She also spent a period of her life in the magnificent Georgian city of Bath.

Then we turn north to the hills of west Yorkshire where we find Bronte country, so called because it was the home of the three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. Perhaps the two best known novels are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyer, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, also made into successful films.

Then up to the north-west, to the stunning land of mountains and lakes which is the Lake District, home of the Lakeland poets. Perhaps its most famous son is William Wordsworth, whose poem "I wandered lonely as a cloud" has been learnt by generations of school children not just in Britain, but around the English-speaking world.

So that's the basic route round Literary England, although I'll be thinking several detours to visit other famous writers whose work contributes to the glory which is English literature. Let's start…

好的，谢谢你的欢迎，并给我机会，让这个短暂的英国文学之旅。我不能说这是一个权威的巡回演出，因为我不是一个专业的文学规范社会主义。然而，我有2个业余爱好：一个是旅游，另一个是读英语文学，特别是英语。这是我对我所做的不同访问的描述英国和爱尔兰，特别是与我们所称的英国文学名著的著名作家的紧密联系，选择了他们的作品。

只要给你一个概述的演讲，我将开始在我的家乡伦敦，这也是许多著名作家的家。但我认为我们在伦敦的脑海中的画面狄更斯查尔斯和莎士比亚的作品在很大程度上都是由作品所塑造的。狄更斯的伦敦是最清楚的说明了他的书奥利弗，和莎士比亚的伦敦给心灵带来的是WR伊顿和在这里的表现，如罗密欧与朱丽叶。我们也会在伟大的英国作家的纪念馆一看，诗人角威斯敏斯特教堂。

然后我们去牛津，另一个城市丰富的文学史。我将重点放在最大的牛津文学的校友，托尔金，英国人写魔戒教授，这是因为最近的一系列电影而闻名于世的。

然后，我们转向南部的温和的乡村，简奥斯丁，在那里她的各种小说，包括价格和偏见的家庭。她还花了一段她人生中的辉煌百分之格鲁吉亚城市浴。

然后我们把北到西的小山，我们发现勃朗特国家，所以称为因为它是三姐妹的家，夏洛特，艾米丽和勃朗特安妮。也许是最知名的两个月ELS是夏洛特勃朗特的简爱，和艾米丽勃朗特的呼啸山庄，也成为成功的电影。

然后到西北，到高山和湖泊，湖区迷人的土地，湖畔诗人的家。也许它最著名的儿子是华兹华斯威廉，他的诗“我漫步孤独是一种云：在英国，孩子们不仅在英国，而且在讲英语的世界。

所以这是英国文学的基本路线，虽然我会考虑一些弯路，去拜访其他著名的作家，他们的作品有助于英国文学的辉煌。让我们开始…

London has always prided itself on being a little bit different when it comes to fashion. At the catwalk shows, designers showcase the hottest new trends for journalists and buyers from all over the world. But away from the glamour of designer collections, what do London girls actually wear? How do they create the affordable, personal style they are famous for? Hannah, who works for a fashion magazine, says London’s unique style is all about mixing and matching. One day can be punk. Next day you can be really girlie（少女般的）. It’s kind of choosing what you want in your wardrobe. Maybe taking an expensive piece but mixing it with something cheaper or second-hand.

I think that is what London girls are really good at doing. Portobello Road, in the trendy Notting

Hill area, is home to one of the most famous markets in London. Here, you name it and people wear it-anything from market stall bargains to to-die-for（令人渴望的）designer labels sold in trendy shops. But how do the capital’s women view their style? Eclectic. My style is certainly eclectic. It is from Tesco. It is the Catherine Kidston range from Tesco. Sam is matched her outfit today with a bag she bought in a supermarket. Angela is a fashion stylist. So tell me a little bit about your life. What are you wearing and what would you say your style is? My style tends to change week by week. Today I am wearing some jeans from Uniqlo.I’ve discovered Uniqlo jeans and bought about five pairs cos they fit really well. The boots are by Aldo .My T-shirt is from Tooshop. The jacket is a really old jacket that I bought in the States a few years ago. But um, yeah I mean it just…it does tend to change a lot. Over to New Bond Street, London’s designer shopping Mecca（胜地）and the style stakes have gone up a little. Some of the most famous and expensive shops in the world can be found here. Shops where you have to ask the price of that handbag…or pair of shoes…then you know you can not really afford it. Natalie, a student from the city, says being laid back is what gives London style its edge. I don’t know. Everyone says like. French is like so fashionable and stuff but I think we are quite trendy, we are a bit more casual, but I think we have got a good style going on and everything, a bit laid back, but everyone still looks cool. Seylia works in a jewelry shop. No shabby chic（流行式样，时尚）here. Cashmere scarf from Louboutin, because it is cold. Black coat from Prada and a Valentino bag, which is probably as colorful as it gets. Katie is a model and loves how people dress in London because everyone has their own individual style. I love London it is so unique.And like everyone’s got their own fashion.

I love it here, because you can wear whatever and just fit in, it is great. I love London for that. Laura is a student and says she doesn’t really put any thought into what she is wearing. Fashion, I wouldn’t really call it fashion. It is just kind of chucked together, basically, what I am comfortable in. Camden is known for its grungy（脏的，乱糟糟）, daring and sometimes outrageous（极不寻常的）styles. Here fashion is whatever you want it to be. Teenagers don’t hold back much when it comes to choosing clothes. They just want to make personal statement .We are just crazy! We don’t hold back so much. It’s not all about being elegant or something like that. It’s more making a statement, some people. And we don’t care.

伦敦一直自豪自己是一个有点不同的时候，时尚。在模特走秀、设计师展示新闻记者和来自全国各地的女买家最热门的新趋势世界。但远离设计师收藏的魅力，伦敦女孩究竟穿着什么？他们是如何创造的，个人风格的，他们是著名的？汉娜，谁的作品为时尚马夹锌，说伦敦的独特风格是所有关于混合和匹配。一天可能是朋克。接下来的一天你可以真的娘娘腔（少女般的）。这是一种选择你想要在你的衣柜里。也许是一个电子但昂贵的一块混合着更便宜的或二手的。我认为伦敦的女孩真的很好。波多贝罗路，在时尚的诺丁山地区，是一个家的伦敦最著名的市场。在这里，你的名字和人任何摊档讨价还价到死穿它（令人渴望的）设计师品牌在时髦的商店出售。但资本的女性观如何看待继承人的风格吗？折衷。我的风格当然是折衷的。它是从。它是从Tesco凯瑟琳基德斯顿范围。山姆今天在一家超市买了一个包，把她的衣服和一个包配了。安吉拉时装设计师。所以告诉我一点关于你的生活。你穿什么，你会说你的风格是什么？我的风格趋向于每周一周的变化。今天我穿着优衣库牛仔裤。我发现优衣库牛仔裤买了五对，因为他们真的很适合。靴子是阿尔多。我的T恤是从tooshop。这件夹克是我在美国买的一件很旧的夹克衫年前。但嗯，是的，我是说它只是……它往往会改变很多。在新邦德街，伦敦的设计师购物圣地（胜地）和风格股份涨了一点。一些最著名的和昂贵的商店在世界上可以找到这里。商店里你要问的价格，手袋……或双鞋，然后你知

Presenter: Three times.

Penny: Yes, if I was …if I was going to go to gym, for instance, having dropped the children off at school I’d be wearing an outfit for…just a casual outfit for doing the school run, then I’d go to gym and get changed and then if I was going out in the evening I’d change again. Presenter: Yeah. How about you?

Penny: Yeah, I think it depends what happens during the day. Most of the time though I just put on my clothes for work. I go to work I come home. Um maybe take something off, like er my shoes and change into a pair of slippers（拖鞋）or something, just a pair of sneakers. Um but there are times when if I go to gym, like Penny said, or if we are going out, my wife and I are going out for some occasion, I have to change into something a little nicer.

Presenter:And and so what would what would be the occasion when you changed into something nicer? It would be different from a work…？

Eric: Yeah like going to someone’s house for dinner or going out for dinner, or going to some kind of event.

Presenter: Yeah yeah. Would that be the same for you?

Penny: Definitely. Going to the theatre, um or meeting friends for a drink, yes.

Presenter: So you’d always change for a social circumstance?

Penny: Definitely makes it feel more of an occasion.

Presenter:OK, and what about the clothes you are wearing at the moment, how would you know, what made you choose these clothes this morning?

Penny: Well I am going for an interview in an hour’s time so I’ve got to look quite smart and presentable so that’s why I am looking smarter than I normally would do in the day. Presenter: I think you have got a head start here because you look very presentable.

第一单元 The Doctrine of the Mean is the core ofConfucianism. The so-called “mean” by Confuciusdoesn’t mean “compromise” but a “moderate”and “just-right” way when understanding andhandling objective things. Confucius advocatedthat this thought should not only be treated as away to understand and deal with things but alsobe integrated into one’s daily conduct to makeit a virtue through self-cultivation and training. The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core ofConfucianism but also an important componentof traditional Chinese culture. From the time itcame into being to the present, it has played aninvaluable role in the construction of nationalspirit, the transmission of national wisdom, and the development of national culture. 中庸思想是儒家思想的重要内容。孔子所谓的“中”不是指“折中”，而是指在认识和处理客观事物时的一种“适度”和“恰如其分”的方法。孔子主张不仅要把这种思想作为一种认识和处理事物的方法来看待，而且还通过自身修养和锻炼，把它融入自己的日常行为当中，使之成为一种美德。中庸思想是儒家思想的

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.
