Dialogue 2 Job Redundancy
David: Cheer up, George. What’s happened to that happy smile we all know and love?
George: Oh, hello, David .I was miles away, I’m afraid.
David: What’s the problem? You look as if you’ve lost a pound and found 10 pence.
George: Decisions, decisions. I’ve lost my job.
David: You haven’t.
George: I have.
David: I thought you were doing so well.
George: So did I. Then yesterday they gave us all the official letter.
Apparently the business has been losing money, so they’ve
decided to close it down.
David: Gracious, when?
George: End of the week.
David: You’ve worked there for quite a long time, haven’t you? George: Nearly six years.
David: So you’re entitled to some redundancy* money?
George: Not a lot. Not if they’ve been losing money.

another job in the music business?
George: Well, I thought I might start a little business of my own. David: That’s a good idea. What sort of business? A music shop? George: No. A recording studio. Recording studios charge the earth these days and there are lots of youngsters who can’t afford
those prices. I thought …if I find suitable premises*…I could offer a cut-price* recording service.
David: That sounds a marvelous idea. Then, as you get more famous, you could increase your charges.
George: No, I’d rather encourage young musicians to come and make their first recording with me and then I thought maybe I could
branch out and become an agent.
David: Ah, I see. Then you could sell the recording made by your protégés* to the big record companies.
George: That’s the general idea.
David: Great. Well, if you decide you need someone to look after the accounts and make the coffee, let me know. I might be interested. George: OK. I may take you up on* that offer. Bye.
David: Bye.

Part 2 Passages
Passage 1 Burglary (1)
The old lady was glad to be back at the block of flats where she lived. Her shopping had tired her. In the lift her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest; but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open. She was thinking that she must reprimand* her daily maid the next
morning for such a monstrous negligence, when she remembered that she had gone shopping after the maid had left and she knew that she had turned both keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were open, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk.

Water has long been considered important to the development of life. That is why scientists are so interested in finding water in our solar system. Now, the American space agency has confirmed that there is water ice on the planet Mars.
The discovery is a major step in the search for the conditions for life on the red planet. The discovery was made with the help of an American spacecraft, the Phoenix Mars Lander. The spacecraft landed on the extreme north of Mars on May 25. On June 15, it dug a
hole about seven centimeters deep in the Martian soil. The hole contained small particles of a light-colored substance. Scientists wondered whether the substance was frozen carbon dioxide, salt or water ice.
Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the following summary.
The news item is about the experiment carried out on Mars by a spacecraft.
Exercise B: Listen to the news item again and answer the following questions.
1.The American space agency has confirmed that there is water ice

News Item 2
An American study has suggested that melting ice in the Arctic Sea is threatening permanently frozen soil. The study found that rates of warming in northern Alaska, Canada and Russia could increase when the sea ice melts quickly. During such periods, the increase could be more than three times greater than the average twenty-first century warming rates predicted in earlier studies.
The new study is the work of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The findings were reported last month in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union. Exercise A: Listen to the news item and complete the following summary.
The news item is about melting ice in the Arctic Sea that is threatening permanently frozen soil.

News Item 3
TAPESCRIPT
Space scientists have been searching nearby stars for planets with great success. The United States space agency says that 264 exoplanets have been discovered so far. But, until now, few of the planetary systems found orbiting other stars have been like our own solar system. That has all changed with the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting a star called Fifty-Five Cancri in the constellation Cancer.
The star is forty-one light years away from Earth. It is also very similar to our own sun.
Last month, astronomers announced the discovery of a fifth planet orbiting Fifty-Five Cancri. What makes the discovery extraordinary is that the new exoplanet orbits in what astronomers call a "habitable zone." This means temperatures on the planet may be warm enough for liquid water to exist either on its surface or on one of its moons.

It was as clear as daylight then that burglars had forced an entry during her absence. Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age t might be more prudent to have someone with her, so she went to (etch the porter from his basement. By this time her legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while he telephoned the police.
They went through the rooms, being careful to touch nothing, as they did not want to hinder* the police in their search for fingerprints. It seemed as though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over. At least sorting out the things she should have discarded* years ago was being made easier lot her. Then a police inspector arrived with a constable and she told them of her discovery of the ransacked flat. The inspector began to look for fingerprints, while the constable checked that the front door locks had not been forced, thereby proving that the burglars had either used skeleton keys or entered over the balcony. There was no trace of fingerprints, but the inspector found a dirty red bundle that contained jewellery which the old lady said was not hers. So their entry into this flat was apparently not tile burglars first job that day.

Passage 2 Nursing Crisis
The World Health Organization says the number of flumes and midwives around the world is decreasing. Nurses are health care workers who are trained to care the sick people. Midwives are health care workers who are trained m assist women during childbirth. The World Health Organization says this decrease in skilled health cam providers will hurt health care services in many countries
Most nurses and midwives are said to be leaving the health care profession because of several reasons. They include low pay and poor working conditions Health care experts discussed these problems daring a meeting in December. They met al the World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland Experts said the problems explain why it is becoming more difficult to bring new people into die nursing and midwife professions.
Naeema Al-- Gasseer is in expert in nursing and midwifery the World Health Organization. She says health services in developing countries may suffer most from the shortage. She says More people may get sick and die number of women who die while giving birth may increase Mizz—Al Gasseer also says the number of babies and
children in developing countries may increase because the services of nurses and midwives will no longer be provided.
AI-Gasseer also says them is a so--called "skills drain" around the world. This means that nurses and midwives in developing countries are being offered belier jobs in industrial countries. As a result, she says an already bad situation is worsening.
For example, the World Health Organization reports about one hospital in Zambia. The Hospital has only five-hundred nurses However, the hospital needs three limes as many nurses to operate effectively. This same situation is happening all over the world. For example, the World
Heath Organization reports there has been a decrease in the number of nurses in Poland, Chile and Egypt.
Because of this problem, the World Health Organization says governments around the World need to take immediate action. It says countries need to solve the problem of the shortage of nurse and midwives to protect the health of their people.
Exercise A: Listen to the report and give the definition of the following words.
A nurse is a health care worker who is trained to care for sick people.
A midwife is a health care worker who is trained to assist women during childbirth.
“Skills drain”means that nurses, and midwives in developing countries are being offered better job industrial countries.
Exercise B: Listen to the report again and complete the following sentences.
1. This report is mainly about nursing crisis.
2. The World Health Organization headquarters are in Geneva. Switzerland.
3 Most nurses and midwives are leaving the health care profession because of low pay and poor working conditions.
4 Governments around the world need to take immediate action solve this problem.

He doesn’t have a car or a TV set. He doesn’t have many clothes and he doesn’t care about money when he makes a lot of money, he gives it away. He doesn’t smoke and he works from six in the morning until late at night, seven days a week: he is paying back to America his debt as a citizen. When he went to parties as a young man, people complained that all he talked about was the dangers of cars, and how bad car design caused the deaths of so many people each year. After he graduated from Harvard, he published an article entitled “Unsafe at Any Speed,” which was about a car called Corvair. Later, he made a big attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of badly-made cars. He said new laws were needed to make cars safer. In 1966, because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to make car safer. After this success, Nader became interested in something very different. This was the quality of meat and the amount of meat that is put into foods like sausages and hamburgers. A year later, in 1967, again because of Nader’s work, a law was passed to ensure that products like sausages and hamburgers contained the right amount of meat. In 1968, three more laws were passed because of Nader’s efforts. The first was to

Part 2 Listening for Gist For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular.

Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets, when you see a bus stopped, or near a parked mobile shop. Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.
Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured are either under fifteen or over sixty. The young and elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them, and the infirm,
Unit3 Section One Tactics for Listening Part2 Listening and Note-taking A Territory When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals. First, there are the Tribal Territories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor. Second, there is the Family Territory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them. Finally, there is the Personal Territory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us. Exercise A: 1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. 2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country. 3. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house.
施心远主编《听力教程》3_(第2版)_unit_2答案.doc 《听力教程》3(第二版)第二单元答案第一部分听力策略第一部分体育用语我母亲是一位高效率的工头，每天为九个人做饭、打扫卫生和购物。她是一个纪律严明的人，如果我们像野外手一样聚在一起吃饭，她会让我们七个孩子走上走下楼梯上百次。她还邀请我们帮她做一天的家务。我母亲相信她的每个孩子都有一种特殊的诀窍，这种诀窍使他或她在某些任务中成为无价之宝。例如，我的哥哥迈克被认为有特别敏锐的视力。每当她需要看远处的东西时，他就像人类的望远镜一样被举起来。当一只风筝被抓住时，约翰正在爬山。我自己的工作是为我们巨大的旧克莱斯勒汽车导航。但是我母亲把工作做好的能力只是一方面。她还有一种不同方向的想象力，这种想象力让她超越了日常生活。她不相信舞台上描绘的魔法，而是看重一个装满软管的金属桶的声音，或者一朵蒲公英在柴堆边缘的持久性。 9第2部分倾听要点 几百年来，人类一直对飞行的概念着迷。生活在十五世纪的意大利艺术家列奥纳多·达·芬奇是第一批为飞机设计的人之一。然而，直到18世纪，人们才开始乘着气球飞越乡村，或者说乘着气球飘游更好。第一个热气球是1783年4月由法国的蒙戈尔菲埃兄弟制造的。在接下来的几年里，许多飞行都是由气球完成的。有些飞行是为了娱乐，有些是为了投递邮件和军事目的，比如观察甚至轰炸。然而，在十九世纪末，飞艇取代了气球成为一种运输方式。
9飞艇是在气球之后出现的。1852年9月，法国人吉法德进行了第一次动力载人飞行。他的飞艇由蒸汽驱动，以每小时8公里的速度从巴黎到特拉普斯飞行了27公里。然而，飞艇的日子屈指可数了，因为一架ero飞机变得越来越安全和受欢迎。练习 方向:听短文，写下有助于你决定的要点和关键词。1.这篇文章是关于飞行的早期历史。 2。关键词是设计，意大利艺术家，十五世纪，十八世纪，飞翔，漂浮，气球，热气球，1783年4月，飞艇，1852年9月，飞机。 第二部分听力理解 第一部分对话 买车 A:早上好，我能帮你吗？是的，我对买车感兴趣。你有什么想法吗？不完全是。你想出什么价格？ B:不超过13，500英镑。 A:现在让我们看看...在蓝旗亚和沃尔沃之间是一辆迷你车。它售价12，830英镑，而且跑起来很便宜:每加仑能跑38英里。或者是迷你车后面的雪铁龙。它的价格为12070英镑，甚至比迷你车还便宜:每
