According to the interviewee,

it's difficult to strike a balance between maintaining the educational quality and making sure as many people as possible receive university education.

In the past years, China has been confronted with the same problem.

The university enrollment has been on the increase and some institutions of higher learning do not have enough teachers and teaching facilities,

thus affecting the educational quality. Task 3:Let's group work!

VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening Task:

Task1: Problems with our educational system Script: Hi, everybody. My topic today is \"Problems with our educational system\".

I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system. It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests, which focus only on academic performance and neglect students' abilities and interest in other areas.

I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent, but haven't had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.

I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,

many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.

They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible.

I think being well-rounded isn't really possible.

And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent can't get into good colleges if they,

you know, haven't scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers.

Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separated from the rest of the school. Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others'.

And they're very aware of their social position, you know. I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.

They're just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from bad to worse. And that's pretty sad.

At a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course. They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. that each had an \"A\" so far for the semester.

These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final,

they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there.

They had a great time and didn't make it back to school until early Monday morning.

Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it.

They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but,

unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare.

As a result, they missed the final.

The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make

The next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin. They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was a simple question on a chemical reaction.

\"Cool,\" they all thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, \"this is going to be easy.\"

Harvard University is the oldest institute of higher learning in the United States.

Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present enrollment of more than 21,000 students, including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools.

Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members.

Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel

学习指导参考

WORD格式整理版

Prize winners.

During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of English universities,

but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy. Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churches throughout New England,

the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.

Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of American higher education.

It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university. The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships,

and expanded Harvard's physical facilities.

NeiI L. Rudenstine took office as Harvard's 26th president in 1991.

As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the university's schools and faculties,

Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvard's main intellectual priorities.

He also stressed the importance of the university's excellence in undergraduate education,

the significance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds,

and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage. Keys: 1.B 2.A 3. C 4.D 5.D Viewing and speaking:

Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts... tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education?

Interviewee: Well, I think it's important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than ever before in our history.

But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings,

that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant. And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. So we have to plan...

Host:But there's going to be less money next year. That's the bottom line, isn't it?

Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant.

That's 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion. Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmas spending a bit less and they're, you know, it's a lot more than one percent that they're, they're feeling.

So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we can continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that.

Host:And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction in standards, isn't it?

Interviewee:Well, we, we, we... It's important in this country that we remember that students aren't just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates. We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last few years we've been growing the number of foundation degree,

Martha:What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in the world today?

Ed: Today... I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and another problem is pollution in big cities and things like that.

Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?

Ed: Um... through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and some TV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff like that.

Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment at school? Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all the problems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems from occurring.

Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would it be? Ed: A new law for the environment? Um... I'd probably say that when people throw away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin, not just throw them everywhere because it's just littering and I hate that. So they should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.

Task 2:River pollution Script:

If you see dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water is discolored and

学习指导参考

WORD格式整理版

smelly,

you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causes for it. First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into a river, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increase considerably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the water green.

This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they are broken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up all the oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.

Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste into rivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury. These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals. Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.

Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.

Task3: Curbing carbon emissions Script:

Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10 years.

Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, \"The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between cities and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power.\"

Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This year's target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August.

\"We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020,\" Director Zhang said. At present,

学习指导参考

WORD格式整理版

non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.

China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, China's investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.

However, China's carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay China's development, affect people's income, and lead to unemployment. Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.C

Developed countries should bear more responsibilities.

First, they caused most of the world pollution in their industrialization process. Second, they are already economically advanced, with more funds to deal with pollution problems.

On the other hand, developing countries caused less pollution in the past, and now they need rapid development.

Therefore, an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 stipulated common but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developing nations, which means that both should be responsible for environmental protection and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but the former must take more responsibility.

Recently, however, some wealthy countries have insisted that developing countries like China should shoulder more responsibilities.

VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening Task:

Task1: The environment and the development Script:

Li:Hi, Professor Wang.

I'm Li Lin, a correspondent for the university newspaper.

The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in the relationship between the environment and economic development.

What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? What measures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy at the same time?

Wang: There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution, desertification, overfishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid rain, overconsumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of all those problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth and the environment.

Since the United Nations Earth Summit in 1992, growing number of people and governments have adopted the new idea of \"sustainable development\". This means today's economic growth should not wipe out the resources and options for future generations. Planning and development should ensure not only economic growth, but also social advancement and environmental health. In other words, some economic behavior must be restricted or controlled. Instilling principles of

sustainable development into government planning, resource management and economic policy is the most important step China can take to solve its environmental problems.

China has already taken some remarkable steps to reduce damage to the environment. For instance, following the huge floods of 1998, the government banned logging in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in order to protect forests and reduce the risk of floods.

Still, the basic contradiction between the environment and development persists. Much work is to be done before we can achieve the aim of a balance between economic growth and the environment. Keys:

Task 2: Thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia Script

A United Nations study says a thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia threatens the lives of millions of people. Scientists say the pollution could increase lung disease and cause early death. The cloud is also damaging agriculture and affecting rainfall levels. It has affected many countries in southern Asia. The pollution cloud is three kilometers high. Scientists say it can move halfway around the world in a week.

The cloud is the result of forest fires, the burning of agricultural waste, and huge increases in the burning of fuels by vehicles, industries, and power stations. Pollution from millions of bad cooking stoves has made the problem worse. Many poor people burn fuels like wood and animal waste in such stoves.

Scientists say the cloud of pollution appears to cool the land and oceans by blocking

They say it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by as much as 15 percent.

At the same time, heat inside the cloud warms the lower parts of the atmosphere. Harmful chemicals from the cloud are mixing with rainfall. This acid rain damages crops and trees and threatens public health.

Scientists are concerned that the pollution will intensify during the next 30 years as the population of Asia increases to an estimated 5,000 million people. Keys:1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.C

Task3: Mountain regions face a number of dangers Script

Mountain people around the world are in great danger of the negative effects of the worsening environment, according to a UN report.

As global warming and deforestation accelerate and technology makes wilder places more accessible, environmental and social pressures on the world's remotest regions increase.

The UN has found that many mountainous regions—inhabited by one out of five of the world's people—are barely recognizable when they are compared to what they were like 60 years ago.

This is mostly because forests were cut to make way for cattle grazing and agriculture. The authors of the UN study expect 98 percent of the mountain areas to experience severe climate change by 2055.

Biological losses are expected to be heavy.

The mountains of Europe, parts of California and the northwest Andes in South America are among the most threatened mountain areas in the world and should be given priority in conservation.

The UN is anxious to raise awareness of the problems facing mountain areas because they are inhabited by some of the most vulnerable people.

These people could lose their culture and their livelihood with even the smallest shifts in climate.

At the same time, many mountain regions are losing people. Thousands of villages in Europe are deserted most of the year.

In other areas like Nepal, people are drifting to the cities in search of work. Keys:

Task 1:Santa's home town in danger Script

Weather experts may have found a new problem caused by global warming, one which many people will pay attention to: There are signs that Santa's home in the North may be in trouble because of warmer temperatures.

The Finnish town of Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle, which many Europeans say is the home of Santa Claus, has had its warmest winter in 40 years.

As a result, there has been much less snow than usual—meaning no snowmen, no snowballs, and possibly not enough snow for Santa to ride his sleigh on.

More important for local residents, it may mean fewer tourists, as well. Santa's wintry home town normally attracts thousands of visitors each year, and millions of dollars.

Anne Pelttari-Bergman, the town's tourist director, worries that the town could be in trouble if snow levels do not return to normal.

She explains: \"Snow is really important for us, of course, for Santa Claus, for Christmas tourism, and also for our winter tourism because winter is our best season. It is really important for us.\"

Weather experts and town residents are hoping this warm winter is an one-time thing. Few people can imagine a holiday when even Santa does not have a white Christmas. Keys: (1)signs

The image of Santa Claus flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and leaving toys and gifts for every child is known worldwide, and Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols.

But if the weather at Santa's home town were to become so warm that there was no more snow at Christmas, Santa Claus would lose his charm.

So snow is really important for Santa Claus, for his home town's Christmas tourism, and its winter tourism as winter is the best season in Santa's home town.

Task1: Problems with our educational system Script:

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and maybe an explanation.

People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.

But they usually don't try that at work.American lifestyles show how much people

学习指导参考

WORD格式整理版

respect the time of others.

When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it.

If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.

Only very close friends will just \"drop in\" unannounced.

Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might already be in bed. The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m. To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in some Eastern cultures value relationships more than schedules.

In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle.

The rhythm of nature—from the passing of seasons to the monthly cycle of the moon—shapes their view of events.

If they have wasted some time or let an opportunity pass by, they are not very worried, knowing that more time and opportunities will come in the next cycle. But Americans often want to jump at the first opportunity. They are unwilling to stand by idly and give up the opportunity.

The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed that view of time like this: \"Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of.\" Keys:1.C 2.B 3.A 4.C 5.D Task 2: Our personal space Script

Our personal space, that piece of the universe we occupy and call our own, is contained within an invisible boundary surrounding our body. As the owners of this area, we usually decide who may enter and who may not. When our space is invaded, we react in a variety of ways. We back up and retreat, stand our ground as our hands become moist from nervousness, or sometimes even react violently. Our response shows not only our unique personality, but also our cultural background.

For example, cultures that stress individualism such as England, the United States, Germany, and Australia, generally demand more space than collective cultures do, and tend to become aggressive when their space is invaded. This idea of space is quite different from the one found in the Mexican and Arab cultures. In Mexico, the physical distance between people when engaged in conversation is closer than what

学习指导参考

WORD格式整理版

is usual north of the border. And for Middle Easterners, typical Arab conversations are at close range. Closeness cannot be avoided.

As is the case with most of our behavior, our use of space is directly linked to the value system of our culture. In some Asian cultures, for example, employees do not stand near their bosses; the extended distance demonstrates respect. Extra interpersonal distance is also part of the cultural experience of the people of Scotland and Sweden, for whom it reflects privacy. And in Germany, private space is sacred.

Task3:We don't know what to do with them. Script

A Russian, a Cuban, an American businessman, and an American lawyer were passengers on a fast train speeding across the French countryside. As time wore on, they gradually became friendly with one another, introducing themselves and shaking hands. Eventually, the Russian took out a large bottle of vodka and poured each of his traveling companions a drink. Just as the American businessman was sipping the vodka and praising its fine quality, the Russian hurled the half-full bottle out of the open window.

\"What did you do that for?\" asked the startled American businessman.

\"Vodka is plentiful in my country,\" said the Russian. \"In fact, we have thousands and thousands of liters of it—far more than we need.\"

The American businessman shook his head and leaned back in his seat, obviously baffled by the Russian's reasoning.

A little later, the young Cuban passed around a box of fine Havana cigars. The men enjoyed this treat and made admiring remarks about the pleasure of smoking good Havana cigars. At that very moment the Cuban took a couple of puffs of his cigar and then tossed it out of the open window.

\"I thought the Cuban economy was not good this year,\" the American businessman said. \"Yet you threw that perfectly good cigar away. I find your actions quite puzzling.\"

\"Cigars,\" the Cuban replied, \"are a dime a dozen in Cuba. We have more of them than we know what to do with.\"

The American businessman sat in silence for a moment. Then he got up, grabbed the lawyer, and threw him out of the window.

Task 1:Nuclear family living patterns Script:

A nuclear family is typical in highly-industrialized societies.

Beginning in the early 20th century, the two-parent family known as the nuclear family was the predominant American family type.

Generally children live with their parents until they go away to a college or university,

or until they find jobs and acquire an apartment or home of their own.

In the early mid-20th century, the father was typically the sole wage-earner, and the mother was the children's principal caregiver.

Today, often both parents hold jobs. Dual-earner families are the predominant type for families with children in the United States.

Increasingly, one of the parents has a non-standard shift, that is, a shift that does not start in the morning and end in the late afternoon.

In these families, one of the parents manages the children while the other works. Prior to school, adequate day care of children is necessary for dual-earner families. In recent years, many private companies and home-based day care centers have sprung up to fulfill this need.

Increasingly, companies are getting involved in the arrangement of day care. Governments are providing assistance to parents that require day care as well. Keys: (1)typical (2)known (3)Generally (4)find (5)apartment (6)sole (7)principal

Task 2:Fatherhood in Australia Script:

Can it be true that Australian men spend more time during the week brushing their teeth than they do alone with their children?

A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the working week, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with their children.

Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend three hours a week purely looking

after their children—a much greater disparity than in other countries like America, Denmark, Italy, and France, where couples divide the childcare more evenly. These findings will probably infuriate those who want to shake off the perhaps unfair image of Australia as a land of old-fashioned male chauvinism.

According to the study, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenthood, but shy away from the boring housework. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the park or to sporting events, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking the kids to school. In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman's job and a man's hobby.

Many people believe that the last 20 years have seen the arrival of the so-called \"new man\"—the man who is willing to share the housework and childcare.

The new man has a picture of his children on his computer desktop at work; he never misses the kids' school plays, and he skips a drink at the bar after work so that he can get home in time to read bedtime story to their kids.

This study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than in Australia.

Indeed, a poll conducted in the U.K. for the think tank the Fatherhood Institute in January indicates that almost 70 percent of British women think that men are as good at raising children as women.

That's something for Australian men to ponder while they brush their teeth! Keys:1.B 2.A 3.A 4.B 5.A

Task3: Views on filial piety see change Script:

With fast economic development in , young people are less likely to cherish the traditional notion of filial piety.

Instead, they are gradually taking a new approach to a welfare society, according to a three-year survey conducted by the City University of .

As many as 85 percent of the respondents expect the government to take up the responsibility for supporting the elderly, and 77 percent agree with the idea that the burden should fall on society as a whole rather than on individual families.

Researcher Richard Wong, who took charge of the study, is sad about the eroding of traditional family bonds.

He said that while most people still respect their parents and grandparents, they tend to equate economic assistance with love.

When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes.

Others said they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychological health of their parents. According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously.

Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care. Researcher Wong questioned the wisdom of adopting the new concept of government welfare.

He said, \"A welfare society is founded on high tax rates, but here in the personal tax rate is only 15 percent.

How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?\"

He further pointed out that even when a social security network can support all senior citizens, it cannot replace the love that only family members can give. Keys:1.A 2.A 3.A 4.D 5.C IV. Speaking Out MODEL1 MODEL2 MODEL3 V. Let?ˉs Talk

I'm concerned about this. He forced my daughter to call his wife mommy. I am really tired of their unkind visits. I don't know what to do. If you have any advice to give me, I would be grateful. Thanks. Answer (by a woman psychiatrist):

Hi, Diana. It's obvious to me that your daughter is having problems with the visits. I would suggest having a frank conversation with your daughter to see what she feels the problems are.

If she says it is all these problems as you have stated above, I would try to talk to your ex about her problems.

I'll try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at school.

If he is not responsive, then I'll take your daughter for counseling to help her. You can't make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should spend quality time with her and allow her to vent her feelings on you, and let her know you are always there for her no matter what happens. Try to keep her self-esteem high.

If you want me to tell you why I remarried, here's my story.

Remarriage was the last word I'd consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failures.

More importantly, I wondered how remarriage would affect my 10-year-old son, John.

My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands—with sadness on our faces.

Since my parents have married and divorced eight times altogether, I hoped my son would not have to go through the same pain I experienced.

As a result, my primary focus after the divorce was my relationship with John, not finding a wife.

As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became conscious of my loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating.

WORD格式整理版

The first time he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria.

As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about how my son would actually respond to her.

At first, John's affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several months, he warmed up to her. Seeing the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted. So the two of us blended smoothly into the three of us.

Thinking back, I believe my remarriage was the right choice.

Some single parents are still hesitating about remarriage. Now that you've heard my story, I hope you won't hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers. Keys:

I can, I can... she does things like I do, she says things I say.

Um, and I think that's why sometimes we have our clashes because we are so similar. She's very, very much like me.

Me and Sarah Lucy have very... both have very strong personalities, so we clash quite a bit.

When Sarah Lucy can't have her own way, she struts off, slams the door, stamps up the stairs.

Favorite expression for me is, very quietly she'll say, \"Mum's like a witch!\" And then, um, I'll say to her, \"Stay in your room till you feel better. When you feel better, you come and talk to me about it.\"

Um, so she'll stay in her room for a few minutes and then she'll come back down and she's all, \"I'm sorry mum.\"

And then if I've upset Sarah Lucy, I'll apologize if I think I'm in the wrong. And then we'll have a discussion or a debate about it.

There's certain aspects about Sarah Lucy's behavior, um, it's learned behavior because children live what they learn, and so there're some traits that she's got and I think, \"Oh they're beautiful, they're lovely, I love them.\" And there're other ones and I think, \"Oh they're not so good.\" For example, her strutting off and slamming the door. But, um, confession: She gets it off me.

She gets it off mum. Um, and she'll say to me, \"You haven't got a lot of patience.\" and she's telling the truth. And so I have to say to her, \"What do you think I could do to make that better?\"

And then she'll sit me down and she'll say, \"You have to listen more, you have to learn to listen.\"

So, I try. I do. When we have this conversation, I do listen more, and I do try. Don't always get it right, but I do try.

When I'm feeling angry, um, if the other children are around, when one of them sees me upset, they don't like to see me upset, so one of them will come to me and say, \" Is it time for some medicine?\" And their medicine is they give me a big cuddle. So we have a cuddle, a hug, and that is fantastic medicine because it does make you feel better.

And that's what works for us. Keys:

Task1: The Wilsons' Thanksgiving Script:

Thanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion.

On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when the members of a family gather. But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family.

Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to travel long distances to visit their parents.

They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members.

But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their \"extended family\".

This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.

The group has grown over the years. To accommodate all the guests, Mr. and Mrs.

Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room. At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children. Now some of the first guests are grandparents.

Like other Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking.

The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies. Keys:1.A 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.C Task 2: Father's Day

Here are tips for finding a job.

Lead in > Task 1

1I think many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart out of financial considerations. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job

2I think it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates'

educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates' character is equally important for a successful career. For example, in contemporary society, many projects require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person's efforts. Therefore, a good team player is often welcome.

3To start with, the interviewers may ask you about your education to see

if you have the basic knowledge required for the job you are applying for. Perhaps most of them will ask you about your work experience in this field to see if you have the necessary skills for the job you have in mind. They may also ask about your character, weaknesses and strengths to find out what kind of person you are. They may even ask you something that is not directly related to the job. Your answers tend to show your intelligence level and communication skills Basic listening practice CDACB

There are 900 people working at the company's call centre; 760 of them are employed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team managers and 10 operations managers. Generally speaking, I prefer to work for a large company because it often has a good reputation, is less likely to go bankrupt, ensures you a fairly stable job, and sometimes gives you a good salary. But I may not say \"no\" to a small company if I can assume more responsibilities, have more opportunities for career development and promotion, or receive a higher salary.

When I am equipped with sufficient information, I will feel more confident and less nervous.

—I won't treat the interview too seriously. Even if I fail, it does not mean the end of the world, and I still have further opportunities elsewhere.

—I might have simulated interviews with my fellow students or family members. When I become more familiar with the interview procedure, I will be less afraid.

I will update my résumé and try to find a new job. I will call my friends and relatives to see if any of them can help me land a job.

1Some people think smoking makes them relax. Some people smoke just

because all those around them smoke. Some young people even think smoking is cool.

Smoking is harmful to one's health. It can lead to many diseases. Long-term smoking may result in lung diseases, or even lung cancer. Also, some heavy smokers may suffer from breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, heart trouble, amongst other disease. Moreover, cigarettes cost money.

2Yes. The family-planning or one-child policy is one of the reasons.

What's more, the rapid economic development, continuous increases in living standards and the improved medical service have all contributed to the increasing average lifespan. This can cause a lot of problems. Few young people have to support more old people. The larger elderly population requires more social security spending, special public facilities such as homes for the elderly and nursing homes, and more medical services, which are a heavy burden on society.

To deal with the challenges, we must develop our economy to accumulate more funds so as to establish a sound social security system and old-age insurance system. We also need to establish more public facilities for senior citizens.

3Poverty may lead to many problems. Because of a shortage of money, sick

people can't afford to go to the hospital, children can't afford to go to school, and some jobless people live far below the poverty line. Worse still, some needy people may become so desperate that they hate society and commit crimes or suicide.

Poverty can be eliminated by generating more employment, raising the level of education, drawing upon the resources of every social institutions, etc.

4Before unemployed people can find a new job, their basic living standard should be met. Generally speaking, most people prefer to find a job rather than live on a handout. So it is
