中级口译听力教程第三版2A An intermediate course of English listening.Third edition.Unit four.Part one.How children learn social behaviors.2.Exercises.1.This is a talk about how children learn social behaviors.Listen to the first part of the talk and then supply the missing words you hear from the talk.W: Hi, welcome.Today we are going to talk about how children learn social behaviors, especially how they learn lessons from the family, the most basic unit of our social structure.There are a lot of discussions these days about how families are changing, and whether non-traditional families have a good or bad effect on children.But it’s important to remember that the type of the family a child comes from is not nearly as important as the kind of love and support that exist in the home.I’d like to focus on three of the ways the children acquire their behavior, through rewards, punishments, and finally modeling.First then, let’s discuss rewards.A reward can be defined as a positive reinforcement for good behavior.An example of a reward is when the parent says if you eat your vegetable you can have ice-cream for dissert, or a parent might say finish your homework first then you can watch TV.Most parents use rewards unconsciously, because they want their children to behave well.For example, a parent might give a gift to a child because the child behaved well, or parents might give child money for doing what the parents asked.2.Now listen to the second part of the talk.Provide the missing information in the spaces given below.The opposite of the reward is a punishment.Punishments are the second important way in which a child is socialized.All of us have probably been punished in our lives.For example maybe our parents stopped us from going out with friends, because we did something we were not supposed to do, or maybe they wouldn’t let us watch TV, because we got a bad grade on the test.Both rewards and punishments are controversial.Many people think they are not effective or necessary, especially when used often.Let’s take this situation.A young boy has been asked to take out the garbage.Listen to situation A.The parents say if you take out the garbage for me I will give you a cookie.Some people argue that this reward is unnecessary, because it’s like a bribe.They argue that the child should be taught that it’s his duty to help with house hold chords, and that he should not get a special reward for doing something that’s his responsibility.Situation B would go something like this.David please take out the trash now.And David says OK dad.Not surprisingly punishment is extremely controversial, especially when the punishment is physical.Some of us grew up expecting to be spanked if we misbehaved.For example, our parents may have hit us on the hand if we talked back to them.But I don’t agree that spanking can teach children anything.And sadly some children are subject to really serious physical abuse.According to a study I just read one in 22 children is a victim of physical abuse.Children who come from homes where violence were used to solve problems are much more likely to abuse their own children when they become adults and have their own families.Part 2.Statements.3.Exercises.Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear.1.Since you said you totally agreed with Tom’s views, you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon.2.Alan used to read 2 books a week when he was attending university in Germany, but now he reads twice as many.3.Located by the lake side and surrounded with so many tall trees, it would have been an attractive house if it hadn’t been painted green.4.Failing to understand what professor Grown said in class, the students were confused about the written assignment that he told them to do.5.You say that George is going to work in New York for the summer.But can he do that and also go to summer school?

6.I just have to make several phone calls and will be ready in a few minutes.You can go down to the lobby for the paper.7.It was the rush hour and the traffic was extremely heavy on the street.The bus should have arrived at 8 o’clock.But it didn’t arrive until 8:45.8.Jenny is extremely busy these days.She has to spend so much time in the library to finish her papers before the exams begin.9.After studying and teaching in that well-known university for 25 years, Charles has left there for good.He is living quietly now in his hometown.10.Mike said he was looking for a job in a book store, but when he had the chance to work there he turned it down.11.We tried to persuade him not to go swimming in the lake by the forest, but in vain.He never listens to others.12.After his doctor told him how to stay healthy, Mr.Johnson hardly ever smokes, though he used to be a chain smoker.13.I got some bad news today.The store where I work is laying off staff.I am worried that they are going to let me go.14.As a member of the board of the multi-national company he has no voice at all in the matter, though he little realizes it.15.Lucky you!You finished your exams and can relax and go to the movie tonight.I have still got two more finals to take.16.After investigating the case for more than 2 months under the order of the public security minister, the police all but caught the smugglers.17.Although the accountant promised to help by all he could, the auditor called into question the accuracy of the figures in the book.18.Sitting all day in the reading room with so many students passing by him, the professor often loses himself in books.19.I hear that you are taking professor Barn’s course next semester, if I were you I would take careful notes, his exams are based on his lectures.20.If you have no change for the parking meter, go into the restaurant right across the street.You will probably be able to change a dollar bill.Part 3.3.Exercises.1.My family.Listen to the following conversation about Simon’s family.And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Hello, Simon.I’d like to talk to you about your family.M: Well, probably the most important influence in my life was my family.Not just my mother and father, but my extended family.I grew up very close to them.I had never really saw people out besides my family.And we lived together in a 3 generation house.W: Three generations in one house? That’s amazing!

M: I remember feeling when I was in the car, and we were going some place with my parents and grand-parents.I used to feel sorry for all the other children on the street, because they weren’t going anywhere with their own families.So I was very happy.W: Weren’t there ever any problems with you all live in the same house?

M: Well, there was a time when I was in college.And you see my father always wanted his children with him.He was actually more protective of us than my mother was.And I remember I had a big project to do for school.And they were going away for the weekend, and I had decided that I wasn’t going to go because I needed to do my work.And this caused a terrible problem.And I did end up going because my father was so upset.So I think of course as I got older I started to realize that I had to live my own life.But it wasn’t that easy.W: How many children were there?

M: Well, I was the oldest of three boys.And of course we used to dance and roller-skate in the basement and play together, I didn’t play with children on my block very much.W: It sounds like you had a really good up-bringing.M: Well, I had very positive feelings about my family.And the most positive feeling is love.What I learned from different people in my family and perhaps some of my best traits, my father was a very generous person, and I learned that you should care about other people.Questions:

1)Which of the following statements is true about Simon’s family? 2)According Simon what was the problem with his family? 3)How many children were there in Simon’s family?

4)Simon says he has very positive feelings about his family.What is the most positive feeling according to him?

2.Growing up in the single parent house hold.This is a conversation about a single parent family.Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Michael, I know you grew up in a single parent house hold.Can you tell me about your family?

M: OK.My mother and father migrated to the US from Mexico when I was 5 years old, and my sister was 3.But then my mother left my father, so it was just my mother, my sister and myself.And my mother was a garnered worker.You know, sewing.But that industry is seasonal.So when there was work she worked a lot, then she would find people to take care of us until she got home.When we were a little older we pretty much took care of ourselves.W: Did you play with other kids in the neighborhood much?

M: Oh, yeah, there was a good stretch when I was in junior high school and played out in the street a lot.After school I would be out and just play stick ball, marbles, yoyo, just ran around the neighborhood.W: What kind of lessons do you think you learn from your mother?

M: Well, I guess there were 2 things.The first thing I remember is being taught to pretty much take care of myself.You know, picking up after yourself around the house.And I remember her teaching me cooking, cleaning, and ironing, and I remember running errands because in dinner time there was always something she had forgotten to get.W: You said you learned 2 lessons.M: I guess the other lesson was just, you know, how important it is to get an education.I remember she wanted us to learn Spanish, so she bought a blackboard and started teaching us in the house.W: Well, Michael, over the past generation or so, family structures has changed a lot.How important do you think these changes are?

M: Well, I don’t really know if it has changed that much.Sure, there has been an increasing single parent households.But I don’t know if the family has really changed.But I do think is important is having a person in the family who does what has to be done to show you the right way, so that you get an education, moral instruction, religious outlook, some positive influences in you life, and anger in your life.So, for example, school was very influential in my life.There were enough good teachers to really point me in the right direction.It’s not just what you get in the home, but other positive influences as well.Questions:

1)Who compose Michael’s family when his parents separated? 2)What was his mother’s job at that time?

3)Michael says he learned 2 lessons from his mother, what was the first lesson? 4)What was the second lesson he learned from his mother?

5)Which of the following statements is true about Michael’s life?

3.Is there any advice you could give parents? This is a conversation about adolescence.Listen and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Peter, they say that adolescence is the time when people begin to get most pressure from their peers.Do you think that’s true?

M: What I have seen is that adolescence is the time when the pressure begins to shift from the family and the school to friends.I think it begins about 11, but comes into full bloom at about 13, 14.W: What actually happens then?

M: Well, the first thing you see is that adolescence begins to make fashion statements.And certainly those ideas don’t come from you.You can tell at a glance that they don’t come from you, like wearing baggy pants that look like it falling down, and piercing their ears.My younger son began to ask if he could dye his hair blue.W: And what did you say?

M: We said when he was a little older, he could make that decision, with the hope that that fad would have passed out of style.W: OK, but where would you draw the line? I mean you let him wear baggy pants, but would you let him dye his hair?

M: I think in the end I would, but not without a fight.W: So what other things happen?

M: Well, as the kids get older you start to lose them, because they are always talking on the phone or talking on line or doing other things.Even when they are home they are in their room most of the time talking on the phone and not just talking on the phone, they might be talking to one person on the phone and to other people on line.And the only thing you know for sure is they are not talking to you.W: Do you think this is all normal behavior? I mean should you be trying to monitor it?

M: I think both.It’s healthy to develop your own values, your own tastes.But I also think that parents should be monitoring it.When it’s a question of fashion, that’s OK.Where you draw the line is when they are doing something dangerous or illegal, drugs, smoking, drinking.W: Is there any advice you could give parents?

M: Well, one thing is to think back to your own experiences as a teenager.I must say I find myself repeating the same annoying language my father used with me.I have to try to remember not to do that.W: So how you talked to your kids is important.M: Yes, and it’s hard to watch your kids doing things you don’t want them to do.For example, my kids are into video games.And I can’t find any value whatsoever in these games.But I think you don’t have to like everything your kids do, as long as it’s not dangerous or illegal.Questions:

1)What are they talking about in the short conversation?

2)According to the conversation adolescence likes to do several things.Which of the following is not one of these things?

3)Apart from arguments with their kids, what other things happen to parents as their children get older?

4)What is the parents’ right attitude towards such behavior of their kids? 5)What advice does the man give to parents at the end of the conversation?

中级口译听力教程第三版1A An intermediate course of English listening Third edition Unit one.Part one.Shopping over the internet.3.Exercises.1.Listen to a passage about a new mode of shopping, and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.In 2005 consumers could purchase virtually anything over the internet, books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seem to spring up almost daily.A few years earlier some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person.For growing number of time starved consumers however, shopping from their home computer was proving to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store.A research estimated that in 2008 US consumers would purchase 7.3 billion dollars of goods over the internet, double the 2006 total.Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions, and websites that did comparison shopping on the internet for the best deal.For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyber space was still a largely unprofitable business however.Internet pioneer Amazon.com which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos posted revenue of 153.7 million dollars, in the third quarter of this year, up from 37.9 million dollars in the same period of 2002.Overall however, the company’s loss widened to 45.2 million dollars from 9.6 million dollars.An analyst did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2006.Despite the great loss, Amason.com has a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors’ optimism of other future industry.Internet retailing appeal to investors because it provided an efficient means of reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of sales people.Selling online carries its own risks however.With so many companies competing for consumers’ attention price competition was intense and profit margins thin or non-existent.One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for 9 dollars and 99 cents.Under cutting the 19 dollars and 99 cents suggest it retail price and losing about 6 dollars on each copy sold.With internet retailing still in its initial stage companies seem willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominate market position.Questions.1).The passage gives examples to show that almost anything could be purchased on the internet.Which of the following is not one of those examples?

2).What had some people predicted a few years earlier customers would like to do? 3).How much worth of goods would US consumers buy in 2008 according to a research estimate?

4).Which of the following statements is true about retailing in cyberspace? 5).Which of the following factors explains the risks of selling online?

2.Listen again and then supply the missing information in the following passage.Part 2.Statements.2.Exercises.Listen and then choose the answer which is the closest in meaning to each statement you hear.1.Mr.Blown and Mr.White are old friends.Actually they started to know each other when they were in primary school in Scotland.2.After teaching English and linguistics at Apoly technique for 2 semesters, Ralph remained in Hong Kong for the summer.3.I am told that you have already got a job but a well-known trading company downtown and start to work next month.But I am still waiting to hear.4.Are you saying you like to apply for the part time job? Fine, just fill out this form.Someone will be with you in a moment.5.There seems always to be a difficult time in the kitchen before a meal.Jenney refuses to eat vegetables unless her mother also prepares bacon.6.After a hectic day in the office with her mind turning like a machine Martha watch TV for 2 hours with a cup of coffee in front.7.Affected by two successive hurricanes hitting the east coast the rain flooded most areas of south Florida leaving almost all the highways impossible.8.You don’t like the sound of that car engine.It’s nothing to worry about.I just had it serviced a few days ago.9.You needn’t notify the housing office about the fixing of the faucet in the bathroom.I’ll get Allan to take care of it.He is really handy.10.Imagine what traffic is like every Monday morning during the rush hour.Although we caught the early bus we were late for class.11.We have a heavy load of work today.And let’s leave for the office right now.The earlier we get here the more working time we will have.12.Gary insists on buying the food for the picnic to be held this coming weekend.But shouldn’t we at least offer to share the expense?

13.The issue of women’s rights has been part of the American scene since the end of the 19th century and it’s still is today.14.It’s a real scorching day today, and the forecasters are saying that there is no end in sight.It seems we’d better stay indoors for the next few days.15.Although it has got such a great review, the movie is awful.It’s hardly worth the price of admission.No one would like to see it again.16.Alice has dreamed of visiting London and Paris for so many years.If she were single she would travel in Europe this summer.17.Sandy was really angry during the meeting this morning.I am not going to approach her until she cools off.18.Edward hurried home from Los Angles to see his mother over the weekend.He was driving so fast that he could have had an accident.19.You seem to be quite optimistic about what this country is faced with.As far as you explain the financial situation it doesn’t sound too bad.20.Compared with the other countries we have visited on this trip, Italy is really a charming country to tourists.I wish George had come to Italy with us.Part 3.3.Exercises.1.In a store.Listen to the conversation which takes place in a store and then choose the correct answer to each question you hear.M: May I help you?

W: Yes.I want to buy some shoes to replace the ones I am wearing.M: What’s wrong with them? W: They are too old and shabby.M: I can see they have simply been worn out.Would you like the same color more or less?

W: Yes, and something a little less casual.M: How about this light brown pair.They are similar to what you have, but a little bit dressier.W: Yes, I was thinking of something along that line.I will try them on.M: They certainly look charming.W: The trouble is they feel uncomfortable.M: Then try on this other pair in a similar style but by a different manufacturer.W: These are much better.Do you have them in red? M: Yes.Would you like both pairs? W: Yes, if they won’t cost too much.M: Oh, no, they won’t.The second pair is of half price.Shall I put them both in a box for you?

W: Just the red and the old ones.I will wear the new brown pair home.Questions: 1).What was the woman shopping for?

2).Why did the woman’s shoes look shabby?

3).What was wrong with the first pair of shoes the woman tried on? 4).How many pairs of shoes did the woman buy? 5).Which shoes did the woman wear home? 2.The design of shopping malls.Listen to the following passage about the shopping malls.And then supply the missing information in the spaces provided.The shopping mall has designed for only one thing, encouraging people to buy, buy, buy.How do they do this? Well, it is something of an art, an art that has been brought to perfection in the 50 years since malls first started appearing in America.Every aspect of mall design is carefully calculated to appeal to the customers’ psychological needs.This starts with the over all environment.Tests have shown that people feel most relaxed and comfortable at a temperature of 24 to 26 degrees.So this is the air temperature of most malls.If it is any hotter, people may become too lazy to walk, any cooler, they may rush around and leave before they have spent enough money.The choice of color is also very important.Dark colors like orange or purple can make people feel irritable or unhappy.With such feelings they are not likely to do much shopping.Therefore very dark colors are almost never used in malls.Instead walls are usually painted in light colors which make customers feel relaxed and give the mall a spacious feeling.The arrangement of space in the mall is also done with great care.Research shows that most people are unwilling to walk more than 200 meters to shop.In one of the new giant malls this could be a problem.There are 2 ways to deal with the problem.The walk ways in malls can be made curved or angled to hide their true length, or they can be broken up by fountains, up displace, or any of those other things that you thought were just there to entertain you.The arrangement of the stores in the mall is relatively easy.The big department stores are the major attractions that encourage people to come to the mall.These should be kept well apart.Stores selling the same items should also be kept far apart, so that anyone who is comparing prices has to go passed as many other stores as possible.After all up to 60 percent of all items bought in malls are purchased on impulse.3.SOHO, small offices, home offices.Listen to the following passage about SOHO.And then supply the missing information in the passage.Today researchers and marketers have identified a segment that is now labeled SOHO.It means small offices home offices, whether they are high-tech startups or women selling Marry Cay.But they drive America’s economic growth and have created most of the new jobs in the last 20 years.Three percent of companies accounted for 6 million of the 7.7 million jobs that were added to the economy between 2001 and 2005.Small businesses represent over 90 percent of all businesses in the US, within economic output greater than Germany or France or the UK.Reportedly home based workers earn more money.The 46 million home based workers in the United States including a large number of women working at home in an attempt to better balance work in family earn 28 percent more than the average office worker, and spend less time making their pay.Of course this could be due in part to the fact that more experienced and aggressive workers tend to start their own businesses.Remember going into business on your own or from a home office may mean making due with less.But it can also mean achieving more, more independence, more challenges, more results.In the long run, it may mean more money for you and your family.In a word doing it on your own means freedom to grow, experiment, and learn.If you are successful you won’t have to go ask for raise or accept what you are given, or worry about being turned out to passed year when a younger version of yourself comes along.You will have the freedom to enjoy the profits of your own work and the continuing growth in profit which comes from owning your business.Part 4.Listening and translation.3.Exercises.1.Sentences translation.Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese.Then write it in the space given below.1)May I introduce myself? I am John Smith from the United States.I am a sales manager of the Johnson company.I am responsible for the European division.2)There was a heavy fog in London the whole morning, and we were delayed there.We stayed in the airport for 3 full hours.3)Soon after he started working as a sales representative he discovered that it was far hard of work than he had expected.4)The Shanghai EXPO will draw 70 million visitors and average of 400,000 a day.It will be the first time for the 157 year old event to be held in a developing country.5)The Louvre Museum opened the department of Islamic art in 2003.But the existing gallery can display only a fifth of the Louvre’s 10,000 pieces of art from the Muslim world.2.Passage translation.Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese.Then write it in the space given below.You may take notes while you are listening.1)The market is a concept.If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market.You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket.But in either case you are producing for the market.Your efforts are being directed by the market.If people stop buying tomatoes you will stop producing them.2)The world EXPO is a large scale, global, noncommercial EXPO.The hosting of the world EXPO must be applied for by a country and approved by the bureau of International Exhibitions.EXPO aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world economy, culture, science, and technology, to allow exhibitors to publicize and display their achievements, and improve international relationships.Accordingly the world EXPO with its 157 year history is regarded as the Olympic Games of the economy, science and technology.Unit One Part 1 shopping over the internet Virtually

Unit nine.Part one.About single sex education.3.Exercises.1.This is a talk given by an educator about single sex education.Listen and supply missing words you hear from the talk.I am going to be discussing the benefits of single sex education.As a teacher and advisor in an all girl school, I am often asked to defend single sex education.Specifically all girls education as if girl schools were on trial.I personally strongly recommend single sex education for girls.But the arguments against this form of education can be quite powerful.So I would like to begin by pointing out 3 of the main arguments against all girl schools.First of all, critics of all girl schools argue that the separation of the sexes seems old fashioned.It goes against the aims and the goal of feminism educators which is to provide fairness.To make sure boys and girls have the same educational opportunities and are treated in the same ways.Secondly, the critics say that in single sex schools boys and girls can’t develop the ability to interact with one another.They point out that in single sex schools boys and girls can’t learn how to be comfortable with each other and also how to compete with each other.The third criticism is that single sex schools don’t provide children with the smooth transition into the adult world where men and women live together.In single sex schools, these critics say, boys and girls cannot become prepared for a world in which they will work, play and live together as adults.But although these are serious arguments I believe that single sex education is beneficial for girls.In the second part of this lecture I will focus on two strong advantages of single sex education.It values girls’ unique qualities and it helps girls develop self confidence.2.The following part is a continuation to the above talk.Listen and then provide the missing information in the spaces given below.The real benefit of all girls education is that it values girls’ unique qualities, the qualities that make them different from boys.What are these unique qualities? Well, I am going to list a few.First of all, girls can often concentrate on higher level abstract thinking at an earlier age than boys can.Secondly, they can often work for longer periods of time.Girls also enjoy collaborative learning activities and so they work well in groups.Finally, as girls mature, they are often kind of co-operative rather than competitive.These four qualities are valued in all girls schools.The second benefit of single sex education is that it helps girls develop self-confidence.I strongly believe that girls become more self-confident without the distraction and different learning styles of boys.In a single sex environment girls enjoy being leaders.They offer help to others and they also ask for help when they need it.For example, if they don’t understand a math or science concept they will ask for clarification.But when girls are in the same classroom as boys they often lose their self esteem.Boys are sometimes a louder, and may jump up out of their seats and wave their arms at people’s faces, if they know the answer to a teacher’s question.If this happens girls typically sink back in their chairs and wait for the boys to quiet down.But if there are no boys around girls can feel free and be themselves.Now it’s true that all girl schools do separate girls from the real world while they are growing up.But in the real adult world boys are the ones who set the rules of the game.And these rules don’t necessarily reflect the needs or talents of girls.In an all girl school girls can become confident enough to challenge the rules.And then perhaps they can change the real world into a place designed to accommodate both men and women.Part two.Statements.2.Exercises.Listen and then choose the answer that is closest in meaning to each statement you hear.1)This project is urgent.I have to type all these reports by Monday morning.So there goes my sleep this weekend.2)We are thinking of asking professor Brown if he can give the exam during the final week of classes.But we are told that there isn’t much chance of that.3)Professor White Head hadn’t planned to invite her to the Monday meeting.But he changed his mind at the last minute.4)Since it’s going to cut your fortune to get your car fix why don’t you just trade it for a new one?

5)It is essential to stay healthy when you are faced with important examinations.Studying all night will be good for neither your grades nor your health.6)The committee finally reached a decision.And I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome.Everybody says they haven’t seen like this for weeks.7)I had a hard time getting through this novel.Who can remember the names of all those 45 characters in it?

8)Michael has put all his time and mind into his studies.Though he has only studied English for two years he speaks it very well.9)We’ve undercharged them.The invoice doesn’t include the legal fees or our agency commission.We need to inform them of this immediately.10)We have little choice about when to send the application.Yesterday was too soon to send it and tomorrow will be too late.11)It took 2 weeks longer than usual to get your package because the postal workers were on strike.12)The price of the car was so low that it made Brad suspicious of the value.He hesitated for 10 days and still made no decision.13)When he met us on Thursday professor Baker said that he tried to reschedule the class at a time convenient to the majority.14)If it takes Mike two hours to do the East Asian history assignment it will take the rest of the class double the time.15)Why bother to call Smith and tell him about the meeting this afternoon.We will see him at lunch.16)The snack bar is not always this deserted.It’s the end of the semester.Everyone is in the library studying.17)We’d expected the repairs to cost us about 15 dollars, but they charged us 3 times as much.18)Ms.Plate came to meet us at the reception.I thought that she was the secretary, but she turned out to be the president of the company.19)After studying mathematics for two years at a German university in Berlin, she has changed to an architecture program in an American university in Washington.20)Even though the doctor has advised him to quit, Bob still smokes a pack of cigarettes a day.中级口译听力教程第三版4B Part 3.3.Exercises.1.It’s cool for everyone to be successful.Listen to the short conversation and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: Mary, do you think you have ever been discriminated against because you are a woman? W: Well, let’s see.I have two answers for that.The first answer is yes.That’s my gut feeling.But sometimes I think no.I am not being discriminated against.I just need to try harder.I guess I am saying yes and no.Look, we are in a society where discrimination is definitely going on in the business world.I see women getting paid less than men do for the same position.And often women get jobs as assistance but they are the ones who do all the work.Also there is thus old boys club, the support network that men have.Men do help each other, and they could help women too.But they don’t.M: So then you are saying that men do have an easier time of it.W: Yeah, it is easier for men.But I have mixed feelings.Sometimes I think that I am just making excuses for myself.What I ask myself is, “Am I good enough?” “Am I as good as the men?” Perhaps I am not.But I really believe that if I do the work necessary in the business world, I will be able to be as successful as any men.I think that there is much more of level playing field than there was before.There is much more opportunities now for women than when I was younger.M: And do you think successful women help other women?

W: Yes, I do.Women tend to think of helping themselves and helping other people too.And I hope that I can help to increase the opportunities for many young girls as well as boys.M: You want to help boys also?

W: Of course.It’s cool for everyone to be successful.And I do see progress in the future.I really do.Questions:

1)What is this conversation mainly about?

2)Mary mentions several things that point to discrimination against women.Which of the following is not one of these things?

3)Which of the following statements is true according to the conversation? 4)In which of the following fields does Mary probably work?

2.Do you think there is rarely quality now? This is a short conversation about the changing gender roles.Listen and choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Michael, I’d like to ask your opinion about how gender roles are changing.Do you think there is rarely quality now?

M: That’s absolutely not true.The first thing is that there is still a paid disparity.Women make only about 70 percent of the dollar that men earn.There have been changes in the last 20 years or so, but that have been relatively modest.And there is still that glass ceiling where women hit this invisible barrier as they try to move up.W: Could you give me an example of the glass ceiling?

M: Well, look at this.I am a social worker.90 percent of my colleagues are women.But both the CEO and his boss are men.So the top executives are men, and you know, the lower paid levels, most of them are women.I think that men are much more likely to be raised with the sense of entitlement than women.W: And what about quality at home?

M: I don’t think there is a quality there, either.You see I think that gender differences often operate on unconscious levels.It almost never occurs to men that they can do house work just as well as women or take care of children.Even if they have divorced and have custody of a child.But women have been parenting children alone for ever.And women just assume that they can do it.W: How has it affected you in your own life?

M: Well, with both of my children from 2 different marriages, I was always the person who got up at night and gave the baby a bottle.I was always very actively involved with caring for my children cooking for them.And I joined a play group with my son 25 years ago.Incidentally I was the only male involved.And I loved it.W: Good for you!

M: That was very very different from my father’s generation.My father had almost nothing to do with us until we were 8 or 10.He held us and gave us some smiles and so on.But he wasn’t really an active parent.But I was determined to be a part of the joy of it all.W: So what you are saying is that the situation has changed but there is still inequality.M: Oh, yes, I think that’s true absolutely.Questions:

1)What’s Michael’s opinion about how gender roles are changing?

2)About what percentage of men’s pay to women make for the same type of job? 3)Which of the following statements is true about the quality at home? 4)Which of the following statements best describes Michael?

3.Gender and language.This is a part of a lecture about gender and language.Listen carefully and then supply the missing parts of the answers to the following questions.Good morning.Please take notes on today’s lecture.Everyone should pick up his pen or rather everyone should pick up her pen, or everyone should pick up his/her pen, or her/his pen.Wait let me start again.Everyone should pick up their pens.Is that correct? You get my point, right? The title of this lecture is Gender and Language.What I am going to discuss more specifically is the topic of sexism and language and how to avoid it.First then, is it true that language can be sexist? The answer is yes, it can.Take the example of this word, Mister.What word has the same meaning for women? There is none.There is Misses which means I am married.There is Miss which means it’s none of your business whether I am married or not.Well, not exactly, but you get my point.Let’s turn to the question of gender’s specific terms.Many terms like mailman or policeman are gender specific.They all refer to man.If there are women who do these jobs, so what do we do? Well a safe option is to use what we call gender neutral terms such as mail-carrier or police-officer.Why should we use gender neutral language? Well, first of all, because it describes the world the way really is.If children grow up hearing the word chairman then the internalized idea that all leaders are men which isn’t true.Secondly it’s a question of equality.For example when people say mankind it sounds as if they are only talking about man.But when you say human beings or people then you include both men and women.But vocabulary isn’t the only problem.Grammar is a problem too.Do you remember the example I gave at the beginning, everyone should pick up pen.Well, I wasn’t really making a joke.The fact is I have to choose a broad noun, and I don’t want to give the impression that everyone in the room is male or female either.So I am facing a dilemma.What’s the solution? Well, personally, I prefer to say, everyone should pick up their pen(s).I realize this is not grammatically correct.But it does avoid sexism.And you will find that most university professors and writers would probably make the same choice that I do.Look at the newspaper, or look around you on the bus or on the subway.You will see plural pro-nouns in places you might not expect.Part 4.Listening and translation.3.Exercises.1.Sentence translation.Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese.Then write it in the space given below.1)Nine out of ten trade visitors interviewed were generally very satisfied with the fare.And 92 percent of the visitors spontaneously declare to intend to visit the fare again in 2008.2)Some nations have worked to meet the shortage of clean fresh water.They are trying to keep their rivers from being polluted.3)I read that according to recent statistics 67 percent of Americans favor the death penalty in cases of murder.That’s 2/3 of the population.4)A gold watch and a necklace were stolen from a home on Broad Street.The criminals entered the house through a bathroom window.5)A man was arrested at midnight on Harper Street, because he was carrying a handgun without license.He was taken to the police station for questioning.2.Passage translation.Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese.Then write it in the space given below.You may take notes while you are listening.1)Doctors think that most people cannot live beyond a hundred years.But a growing number of scientists believe that the aging process can be controlled.There are more than 12,000 Americans over 100 years old who receive social security benefits, and their numbers are increasing each year.Some scientists claim that theoretically and under ideal conditions animals including men can live 5 times longer than their normal period of growth.A person’s period of growth last approximately 25 years.If this theory is accurate future generations can expect a life-span of 150 years.2)Well, the neighbor-hood watch program has been running for more than 5 months, and has been incredibly successful.We used to have a lot of minor problems on our block, but now it’s very quiet.Everyone knows that our neighborhood is off limits for trouble makers.Just last week we won a special award from the mayor’s office.All of us were invited to a big award ceremony.We had dinner, heard some guests speakers, and then accepted our award for out-standing community service.Unit Nine Part one About single-sex education Feminist n.女权主义者

合资企业 Establishing a Joint Venture__________________________________________________ A ：I'm so happy to see you again, Mr.Roberts.May l help you in any way? B：您好，陈先生，离开中国已有10个月了。我打算同您商谈一下能否与贵公司合资兴办企业，共同生产无绳电话和移动电话。

A: That's great.Your investment proposal is a very wise decision.Our company is also seeking foreign investment in a manufacturing company for cordless and mobile phones.Your initiative is most welcome.I remember talking to you about the matter of foreign investment in China a year ago, Mr.Roberts.B：是的，那次您谈得很好。其结果是触发了我同贵公司合资办企业的念头。您所作的回答坦率，您所作的解释诚恳，很有说服力。现在我想搭乘中国经济快车，分享你们的经济成果好吗? A: Of course.Welcome aboard, Mr.Roberts!Let's get down to the business of this joint venture.May I have some idea of your proposal? B：最近我对电信设备的市场做了一番调查。中国乃至全世界的无绳电话和移动电话的市场潜力很大。在合资企业的起步阶段，我希望有一个稳妥的速度和规模。我建议投资总额在800万美元之间，我想中国人喜欢这个吉利的数字。

A: Very good.Eight million is more than a lucky number;it's the right number for the initiation of this joint venture, as I under-stand it.But how much would your share of investment be in this partnership? B：我愿提供投资总额50%的资金，其中包括建设资金、全部进口设备的费用以及来自我国内公司的工程师、技工和管理人员的费用。

A: I like the idea of a 50 to 50 investment partnership, in which case there will be a 50 to 50 distribution in business management and profits share.B：完全正确。

A: The problem then involves the marketing of the manufactured products.Cordless phones are in high demand in China, but we can't guarantee a 50% domestic marketing of mobile phones.Be sides, we need to increase our foreign exchange reserve for the rainy day.May I suggest that you market at least 65% of the to-tal number of mobile phones internationally? I believe you need more foreign currency than our renminbi.B：我很喜欢人民币。我听说中国的人民币不久便可成为一种可兑换的货币。不过我接受您的建议，我们负责在国际市场上推销三分之二的移动电话。A: That's beautiful.B：还有两个问题需要解决。一个问题是有关我们的合作期限，另一个问题涉及企业管理人员的结构。A: As for the term of the partnership, let's start with a 15 year term for this joint venture, and extend the contract later if both parties wish to continue the partnership.What do you say to this？ B：非常合理。我建议成立董事会来监管公司的业务，我们以平等的伙伴关系分享权利和义务。

A: That coincides with our usual practice.Shall we hold another round of discussion next week on some technical problems in a more detailed way? B：好的。如同以往一样，我乐意与您合作。今天的收获很大。A: Yes, indeed.Have a nice weekend, Mr.Roberts!B：我也祝您周末愉快。

欧亚合作 Euro-Asian Cooperation—————————————————————————————— 尊敬的主席先生，女士们、先生们： 【1】欧洲联盟采纳了一项新的亚洲战略。我们在此要求欧盟成员国同亚洲国家进行有效的合作，以期在欧亚两大洲之间建立一种积极、稳定与和平等的伙伴关系。

【2】历史已证明了扩大两大洲之间合作关系的必要性。欧洲和亚洲这两个人类文明的主要发源地，对人类进步做出了贡献。

【3】自从20世纪80年代起，亚洲，尤其是东亚，迅速成长繁荣。作为世界上最有活力的经济区域，东亚在过去数十年里以其显著的成就引起了全球的瞩目。

【6】在欧洲，50年的结盟使现在的欧盟成了世界上最大的贸易集团，欧盟的国内生产总值和外贸总额都已超过了美国的国内生产总值和外贸总额。

【7】此外，欧盟各国有统一的关税，建立了共同的外贸、农业和渔业政策。欧盟正初步建立经济和货币联盟。换言之，欧盟已成为一个政治和经济一体化程度最高的地区。

【8】近年来，欧洲与东亚之间的贸易关系迅速发展。有意义的是，东亚已取代美国成为欧盟最大的出口市场，欧盟国家出口产品的l8％销往该地区。

【4】然而，欧盟对东亚市场的占有率仍然继续落后于美国和Et本。我们意识到，目前欧亚经贸交往已远远不能满足需要。

【5】女士们，先生们，欧洲、北美和东亚已成为世界三大经济中心。由于历史缘故，欧洲和北美早已建立了密切的联系。东亚和北美通过亚太经济合作论坛也建立了联系。相对而言，欧盟与东亚的联系仍然比较弱。因此，女士们，先生们，欧洲和东亚通过对话和相互信任以消除分歧，增强我们的合作关系，从两大洲人民的利益出发建立新的伙伴关系，这是我们的共同愿望。

【9】女士们，先生们，面对这一历史性的机遇，让我们共同努力，牢固建立这种伙伴关系，为世界和平、稳定与繁荣而作出贡献。谢谢主席先生。

应试之灾 The Examination-oriented Education—————————————————————— 主席先生，女士们、先生们：

对于每一个富有爱心与负责精神的社会，其最大的愿望莫过于为改善儿童的生活而做重要的、有意义的事。将这种愿望付诸实践的最显然的做法便是去除儿童的考试与选拔负担，这种负担源于我们的教育制度，令人难以接受。

年仅十三四岁的孩子被选进将要决定他们前途的应试班学习。尔后，就在他们中间的大部分人处于一生中的学习接受能力最糟糕的时候，却被迫参加考试，而对考试失败者的惩罚如同死刑一般，使人永世不得翻身。

在我们这个国家，中学生的命运受到这些考试的摆布。虽然一些学校确实也开设了大批有趣的课程，然而这些课程只是为那些早被定为失败者的学生开设的。所以家长不停地采用强推、硬拉、威胁、强迫等手段将他们的孩子推上考场，或者急不可耐地寻找“高水平"的学校代为行使督战之责，因为这样做符合我们大学的要求。

但这样做有无必要呢?我们为什么要在人脑处于接受能力最低的生理发育阶段对我们的年幼者施加这种压力呢?而且我们也知道，如果孩子在14岁时选错了路子，那么他们的一生可能会毁掉。既然如此，我们为何要选择在他们一生中的这个时期试图造就他们或压垮他们呢? 如果孩子在16岁时所面临的选拔压力能予以免除的话，那么中学教育可能会完全改观。从13岁起，孩子可以自由选择是否学习，或者可以选择半日制的学习。他们可以完全按照自己的意愿，想学多久就学多久。如果他们想在美术课或戏剧课花上半天时间，他们自己可以自行决定这么做。

孩子们抱怨课程乏味、课本乏味、教师乏味。然而，他们的诉说声却几乎无人听见。当他们不得不写些东西时，他们只是迎合教师的口味，写一些教师想看的Fl容，这种情况已是司空见惯的了。

我深信，在强制性程度较低的制度下，孩子实际学到的东西会更多，他们通常能更好地同成人和领导合作。我敢肯定，他们会更加幸福，更富有创造力，因而对社会的作用也就更大。我们不应该花那么多的时间对十三四岁的孩子大加威胁，对他们说要是不整天学习、不每天学习的话，他们的结果只能是一辈子失败。

因此，女士们，先生们，我相信你们也会认为除了赞同今天的提议之外，已别无选择。现行的教育制度肯定对我们的孩子有害，所以必须予以改变。

谢谢各位。为了就价格达成一致，您能不能通融一下
