1Shopping and Banking Online

Part I Getting ready

B. Spot dictation. Fill in the banks with the words you hear. Tapescript:

We have just two more days to “shop till you drop” till Christmas, and that typically means a lot of last minute shopping. And though buying with a mouse is still tiny compared to shopping with your feet online retailing is more popular than ever.

Christmas shopping in the street is great sometimes. But when you’ve just got to get a bunch of shopping done and you want to have something to send to a third-party location, it’s much better online.

In the U.S., online shopping is predicted to be 30% ahead of last December, while mails can expect less than a 6% increase in sales. In Britain, Europe’s biggest e-tailing market, online gift-buying is expected to grow by 50%, with $8 billion worth of goods sold through the net in the November to January period.

Tips for staying safe on the Net

party (as many as 87% of the sites)

● No policy on returning goods (about 47% of the companies)

(as many as 87% of the sites)

● No money back more than four months after returning goods (in two cases)

B Now listen again. Complete the summary.

Summary:

The survey shows in spite of the convenience and choice offered by Net shopping there are still many obstacles that prevent consumers from shopping with complete trust. One of the biggest problems is to build consumers’ trust in buying online. It takes time for the Internet to become mature as a retail channel when it gives support to trust relationships with guarantees of payment and service.

Part Ⅴ

Tapescript:

“Everybody loves a bargain,” this is a common American saying. A bargain is something you buy for less than its true value. It is something you might not buy if it costs more. One person’s useless ugly object can be another person’s bargain. So many Americans put it outside with a “for sale” sign on it and they have a yard sale.

Just about anything can be sold a yard sale: clothing, cooking equipment, old toys, tools, books and chairs, even objects you think are

extremely ugly or useless. You may have an electric light shaped like a fish. You may greatly dislike its looks, but it may be beautiful to someone else. Usually the seller puts a price on each object. But the price can almost always be negotiated. The price of a table, for example, might be marked ＄10. But the seller may accept 8. If the table has not been sold by the end of the day, the seller probably will take much less.

Some people go to yard sales because it is part of their job. They earn their livings by buying old things at low prices then selling them at higher prices. Many others, however, go to yard sales just to have fun. They say it is like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes they really do find the treasure.

Ned Jaudere did. The Boston Globe newspaper says Mr. Jaudere has been collecting native American Indian objects since he was a young man. Last year, he stopped at a yard sale in the northeastern city of Worcester, Massachusetts. He paid $125 for what everyone thought was an old wooden club. Mr. Jaudere thought it was something else. Two days later, he confirmed that the club had been used by the Wampanoag Indian leader known as King Philip. King Philip used it during his war with the white settlers at eastern Massachustetts in 1675. The historic weapon had been stolen from a museum in 1970 and had been missing ever since. Mr. Jaudere learnt the war club was valued at about $150000 but he did not sell it or keep it. Mr. Jaudere returned the club to the museum near Boston, Massachusetts from which it was stolen.

Questions:

1.Which of the following is a common American saying?

2.What can be sold at a yard sale?

3.Why do people go to a yard sale?

4.When was the old wooden club stolen?

5.What was the real value of the club?

Tapescript:

An organization in the United States has been teaching young people about the American business system for almost 80 years. Now we operate in more than 100 other countries.

Junior Achievement is the world’s oldest, largest, and fastest growing economic educational organization. It began in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The group’s first program was for high school students after school hours. Its goal was to show young people how businesses are organized and operated. The students learned by forming their own companies. Local business people advised them.

First, the students developed a product. Then they sold shares in their company. They used this money to buy the materials needed to make the product. They produced the product and sold it. Finally they returned the profits to the people who owned shares in the company. The Junior Achievement “Company Program”was very successful. It continues to teach young people about American business by helping the operate their own companies.

In 1974, Junior Achievement began teaching students in their classrooms about business. Today, there are programs for students of all ages from 5 to 18. More than 2700000 American students are involves in Junior Achievement. They are taught by more than 85000 business advisors who are not paid.

Junior Achievement has programs for young school children ages 5 through 11. Volunteer business advisors teach the main rules of successful businesses. They teach how businesses are organized. They teach how products are made and sold. They also teach about the American economy, the system of money, industry and trade. And they teach students how the economy affects their families and their communities.

Junior Achievement has programs for middle school students ages 12 to 14. A volunteer business expert teaches the students once a week. One program is called “Project Business”. It is about economic theories.

大学英语听力教程1答案 高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进

大学英语听力教程1答案高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进 听力是一种语言接受能力，只有多听多说，多做多练，积少成多，由易到难，循序渐进，方能逐步提高。听力教学很重要，应从学生实际出发，讲究方法技巧，循序渐进，方能水到渠。听力教学循序渐进教师学生听力在高考中占总分的1/5(江苏1/6)，听力的重要性由此可见一斑。但在实际教学中，一些教师往往对听力教学重视不够，只是利用早自习或午自习让课代表在班上放放录音带，然后对对答案，随意性较大，效果不明显，结果学生也对听力训练逐渐失去了兴趣，甚至感到厌烦。因此，如何上好听力课，解决听力教学中遇到的困难，提高学生的听力水平是我们每位英语教师应当深思的问题。某高中是一所普通的农村中学，生源较差，每年的录取线在当地最低，被戏称为“收容所”，考不取较好的高中的学生大多会选择这里，因此，不难想象该校的教学有多艰难了，做听力练习时，大多数学生就像听天书一样，云里雾里，不知所云。该校的高二〈2〉班和高二〈3〉班在刚进入高二时，是两个各方面状况基本相近的平行班。下面以两位教师在这两个班所上的听力课为例，谈一谈听力教学中存在的问题以及如何提高学生的听力水平。授课内容为牛津高中英语Module 5 Unit 2的Task板块中Skills building 1 (P32)。Guidelines 告诉学生如何根据所听信息得出结论并举两例。Part A是关于5种自然灾害的新闻报道，要求根据每个报道的描述说出灾害的名称。Part B是听一段较长的新闻报道，然后对书上的5个句子进行判断。案例1：高二〈2〉班，46人，老师首先带学生阅读guidelines 和例子，接着开始Part A ,读完要求后播放录音两遍，再让学生说出灾害名称，没有1个学生全部答对，只有10个学生答对3个，15个学生答对1个，其余学生表示根本听不懂，老师很着急，但还是很有耐心地又放了两遍录音，结果没太大改观，老师于是说出正确答案后便开始了Part B。这次，老师播放了三遍录音，每句都停顿一下，然后再让学生判断句子正误，结果只有7人答对2题，5人答对3题，5人答对1题，且有的是蒙对的，老师只好又放了两遍，可是效果依旧，老师很无奈，学生也显得烦躁，由于时间关系，老师

全新版大学英语3综合教程听力原文及答案第三册 Unit 1 Part B Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) 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 with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother 3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy Text 2 Dating with My Mother (Part Two) We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. 'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said. 'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie. 'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but
