UINT 1 SECTION C

Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conv ersati on alist is some one who conn ects with people and makes them feel importa nt. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the on ly pers on in the room.

Beco ming a good conv ersati on alist requires knowing three thin gs: first, how to start a con versati on; sec ond, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.

Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A complime nt is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any n ews eve nt is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any ope ning line will do, as long as it's not n egative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to en tice a pers on to have a conv ersati on with you is by being sin cere and respectful, and lett ing them know that you are in terested in talk ing to them.

Once you've got a conv ersati on going, the best way to keep it going is by ask ing the other pers on questi ons that don't require just a yes or no an swer. Ask questi ons similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a pers on out; who, what, whe n, where, why and how questi ons. You keep ask ing questi ons based on the last thi ng a pers on says. This is called the "elaborati on tech niq ue". Once you hit on somethi ng you find in teresti ng, keep ask ing questio ns in order to get the pers on to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conv ersati on alist elaborates on the experie nces they've had. In stead of say ing the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time——who was there, what happe ned, where it was, and how people arran ged the party. Go into detail. Descripti on is the best form of com muni catio n because it keeps people's in terest up and stimulates them.

If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several sig nals you can send to the other pers on that will bring the conv ersati on to its close without hurt ing anyon e's feeli ngs.

Break ing eye con tact is a discreet sig nal that the conv ersatio n is about to end. Ano ther way to sig nal is to use tran siti on words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other pers on. If you're not in terested in talki ng to them aga in, don't men ti on the possibility of a future meet ing just to be polite. That's hypocritical. I nstead, you may want to say, "Nice meet ing you." And then, leave.

Fin ally, be sure to give the other pers on a good, firm han dshake. The final impressi on you make can be just as importa nt as the in itial one you made.

UINT 3 SECTION B

First Story

My husband and I met in high school. During our senior year, we studies biology together. We talked and laughed a lot during class. One Friday, we Joked that we should go on a date that night. At first, I didn't know if he was serious. He didn't know if I was joking. That night I put on a new dress and waited. He had a more difficult time. He had to knock on the door without knowing if I would be ready or not. But he knocked, and I was ready! That was our first date. This year, we celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary'

Second Story

My husband and I met one day at an airport. It was Christmas day. I was picking up my friend Bernd. He was coming from Germany to spend the holidays with my family. While we were waiting for his luggage, I heard a man speaking in Italian. I decided to say something to him because I speak Italian. I said, "Buon Natale" which means, "Merry Christmas!" When I spoke in Italian, he said, "Mama mia! Why do you speak Italian? Who are you?" He asked me for my phone number. He called me the next day, and we dated for a year. Then we got married. So be careful who you talk to in the airport!

Third Story

My wife and I met through our parents. Our parents arranged our marriage. Before we got married, my wife and I wanted to meet. Our parents arranged our first meeting in a restaurant. That night, we talked about ourselves and what we wanted in our lives. We talked for hours. We shared our hopes and dreams. After a while, we decided that our parents were right! And we got married.

Fourth Story

My wife and 1 met through a matchmaker. I'm an engineer, and in my field, most people are men. I couldn't meet any women at work. So one day I saw an advertisement for a matchmaking service, and I decided to call. The matchmaker introduced me to many nice women. I enjoyed meeting them, but I didn't meet anyone I wanted to marry. Finally, she introduced me to my wife. I decided not to date any other women because I liked her very much. We enjoyed the same things, and we laughed a lot together. We also had the same goals and values in life. My wife and I were married six years ago, and now we have two children. I'm glad I picked up the phone and called that matchmaker!

UINT 3 SECTION C

Among married couples in the U.S., one finds a wide range of living patterns. Some older couples still have traditional marriages, with the man as breadwinner and the woman as homemaker. But most younger women today are not content to be full-time homemakers. The women's liberation movement, which swept the country in the 1960s, changed attitudes and behavior forever. Today's young American woman wants marriage, but she also wants her own identity. She wants what men have always had —a marriage that is important but still allows time to pursue individual goals. The maJority of American wives, even those with children, work outside the home- As a result, the older idea that housework, cooking, and child care are "women's work" is being discarded. In the contemporary American marriage, the husband and wife share both financial and domestic responsibilities.

Sharing money-making and housekeeping responsibilities provides a better life for the family. Of course, problems can develop in the two-income family if the husband expects his working wife to be the perfect homemaker that his stay-at-home mother was- Also, there may be arguments if the wife expects her husband to help with household chores, but he is unwilling to do so. In most families, the working wife probably still handles the largest share of the housework, cooking, and child care. but she gets some help from her husband.

The contemporary American marriage is also characterized by a relationship of equality and shared decision making. Most American women today will not tolerate a husband who considers himself the boss. The American girl is given freedom and education equal to a boy's. After completing her education, she is able to get a job and support herself. She does not need to marry for financial security. She is self-sufficient and will not accept a submissive role in marriage. When husband and wife are able to share decision making and respect each other's viewpoints, their marriage is probably closer than those of past generations. When they battle for dominance, they're likely to end up in divorce court.

“Ring out the old, ring in the new, ”wrote Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the nineteenth-century English poet. And that's exactly what Americans do every December 31. New Year's Eve is a time for noise and fun- At home or in restaurants, most Americans drink and dine with friends- At midnight on New Year's Eve, bells ring, horns blow, and friends toast each other with champagne. It's also customary to exchange kisses. New Year's Eve festivities often continue until two or three o'clock in the morning. Many people travel from one party to another to celebrate with several different groups of friends

The country's most crowded New Year's Eve celebration takes place in New York City's Times Square. Since 1907, the famous ball-lowering ceremony has been a holiday highlight. To celebrate the arrival of the year 2000, an estimated 2 million people crowded into Times Square, and hundreds of million viewed the scene on TV The huge, 1,070-pound lighted crystal ball began its descent from a 77-foot flagpole at 11:59 p.m. and reached the bottom at exactly midnight. Simultaneously, confetti, balloons, and fireworks brightened the night sky. It was the biggest public event ever held in the city.

What do Americans do on New Year's Day? Many sleep late because they stayed up all night long. Many watch TV which offers spectacular parades and football games between champion college teams. From ancient times to the present. New Year's customs have been connected with saying good-bye to the past and looking forward to a better future. Therefore, New Year's Day often inspires people to start new programs and give up bad habits. Some people make New Year's resolutions. People talk about "turning over a new leaf", referring to a clean, blank page or a fresh start. Typical New Year's resolutions are to spend less money, give up smoking, begin a diet, or be nicer to others. It's safe to assume that about half of them are forgotten by January 31'

It was a cool autumn evening. Mrs. Brown was sitting in her living room, reading. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on her door, then two or three more knocks. Mrs. Brown put the safety chain on her door. Then she opened the door a little and looked out. There stood three children wearing masks and costumes. When they saw her, they all shouted, "Trick or treat! Money or eats!"

Mrs, Brown dropped a candy bar into each child's bag.

"Thanks for the candy," shouted the children as they ran off to ring another doorbell-

"You're welcome," said Mrs. Brown. "Have fun, and don't play any pranks."

Every year on October 31. Halloween scenes like this occur throughout the USA. American children love to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. If an adult refuses to supply a treat —candy, cookies, fruit, or money —the children may play a trick. Typical Halloween pranks are soaping windows, writing on doors with crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep them ringing, throwing raw eggs, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends.

Halloween is celebrated by nearly all American children, and over 70% of adults also participate in some Halloween activity. College students and other young adults may attend masquerade parties or Halloween parades. Many families carve pumpkins and decorate the outside of their homes with the traditional Halloween symbols. Businesses get into the act, too. Store windows display jack-o'-lanterns, scarecrows, and witches. Servers in restaurants and salespeople in supermarkets and bookstores are often in costume. Many nightclubs and bars encourage customers to come in costume by offering prizes for the best disguises

UINT 4 PART 3

1. W: Some people say that many TV programs are silly, meaningless, or a waste of time. What do you think

of them, Jim?

M: It seems to me that some important social issues —like drugs, divorce and so on —are dealt with fairly realistically and a lot of honest talks can be heard in these programs.

Q: What does the man think of the TV programs?

2. W: How was the lecture yesterday?

M: Well... It was a complete drag.

W: How come? Many students seem to be interested inJohnson's lecture.

M: But the one yesterday was the pits. It bored me to tears.

Q: How does the man think about the lecture yesterday?

3. W: Frank, what do you think about your college life?

M: Generally speaking, my college years are exciting and rewarding, but they are certainly not easy or carefree. Just about all college students face the pressure of making important career decisions and some anxiety about examinations and grades.

Q: What does the man think about his college life?

4. W: Wow! This is a marvelous room! Whose idea was it to decorate the room like this?

M: It was Jane's.

W: I never knew she was good at this. She must be very art-conscious.

Q: What does the woman think about Jane now?

5. W: I've been reading a lot lately about the issue of women's rights, and I find that is a very hot topic now.

M: It depends on which magazine or paper you read. If it's a women's magazine, just about every article has that as a topic in one way or another.

Q: What is the man's response to the woman's saying?

6. M: Ann, it's good to see you back. Do you remember when we were kids, we used to go swimming

together?

W: Yeah. I sure do. I really love this town and I have a lot of good memories from here.

M: I want to tell you that we take a lot of pride in the gold medal you won and we are behind you one hundred percent.

Q: What does the man think of the woman?

7. W: How are you doing since you retired four months ago?

M; I thought it would be wonderful to be retired. I have looked forward to this day for thirty years, but now I'm considering volunteering.

Q: What does the man feel about his retired days?

8. W: Well, it seems that Frank has become quite a famous painter.

M: Has he? You know I'm a professional artist myself and I question how much talent Frank has.

Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the man's comments?

Most people know that exercise is important. But many people don't exercise. In this announcement

you will hear the five most common reasons why people don't exercise. You will also hear some easy solutions.

The first problem? No time. "I don't have any time to exercise. I'm too busy." But you don't need a lot of time to exercise. Short periods of exercise are just as good as long periods of exercise. The solution? You should take two or three short walks every day. For example, ten minutes in the morning, ten minutes at lunch, and ten minutes after dinner.

Next, money. "I don't have money to go to a gym. 1 don't have money to buy expensive shoes." No problem. You don't have to spend money to exercise. All you need is a street and comfortable clothes. Our solution? Walk. Don't drive. For instance, walk to the store, to the library, to the bank. Walking is free and easy.

The third most common reason is bad weather. "It's raining. It's too hot. It's snowing." Here's a solution. Exercise inside. For example, turn on some music. Dance. Or clean the house. You can go to the shopping mall and walk fast.

Fourth, people say they're tired. "I'm too tired to exercise. I'll exercise when I have more energy." But exercise gives you energy. Most people feel too tired because they don't exercise. The solution? Exercise every day. Take a walk. Go for a bike ride. Run around the block. You'll feel great! And you won't feel tired.

Finally, some people feel embarrassed. "I feel silly exercising. I don't have a great body." Listen to this solution: Don't feel bad; you should feel great! You're taking care of your body. Little by little, you will feel better. Just do it!

You have heard the five reasons why people don't exercise. More importantly, you have heard five solutions to overcome these problems. Now that you have heard this message, go out and exercise! Good luck.

新世纪研究生英语听说教程原文Unit_1_Differences_Between_Cultures

Unit 1 Differences Between Cultures Thinking Ahead Students are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below: 1. How do you think about the word “culture”? Culture is a word for people?s“way of life”, meaning the way they do things. A group of people has a separate culture when that group sets itself apart from others through its actions. Cultures are what make countries unique. Each country has different cultural activities and cultural rituals. Culture is more than just material goods, that is things the culture uses and produces. Culture is also the beliefs and values of the people in that culture. Culture also includes the way people think about and understand the world and their own lives. 2. Why should we study cross-cultural communication? Cross-cultural communication refers to the study of successful communications across different cultures. It concerns the understanding of tradition and modernization, consistency and change. As we understand some of the ongoing national characteristics of a people, we can examine how this culture is seen from the outside, how it interacts with other cultures and how it is changing. The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. The challenge is that even with all the good will in the world, miscommunication is likely to happen, especially when there are significant cultural differences between communicators. Miscommunication may lead to conflict, or aggravate conflict that already exists. So it is very important that we should study cross-cultural communication.

Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room. Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it. Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them. Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them. If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings. Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave. Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.
