Chapter 7 Why Does It Hurt So Much
Tapescript
Why Does It Hurt So Much?
The story started on a normal day when I was only six years old. All of us, mom, dad, my brothers and sister, and I were getting ready for the day’s events, school and work. When we all left, everything seemed fine. The four of us, my older brother and sister and one of my younger brothers, walked to school three blocks away.
School was the same as it usually was. I went out for morning recess, then came in and colored with melted crayons and then went to lunch. I didn’t know that within the next hour, my life was about to change and I was going to be thrown into the most “traumatic years of my life”as one psychologist would later say.
I came back into the classroom from recess, sat in my chair, and prepared to learn about addition and subtraction. I was excited because when I got home, I was going to show mommy and daddy what I had learned. I didn’t know that at that moment, my dad was standing in the school office, asking for my brother and me to be pulled out of school. I would definitely learn the concept of subtraction later.
We walked to our silver Toyota van and joined my older brother and sister. When we pulled into the garage, my mom was sanding in the doorway with a neck brace on. I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
My mom had a very angry look on her face, and her nostril were faring. Her eyes scared me the most. They were little slits below her eyebrows. If she had looked my way, she surely would have burnt a hole through my own eyes.
I can still remember the scene. My mother stormed out of the doorway to the driver’s side of our van. My dad told us to go upstairs. We got out of the van, all on the passenger side. My mother didn’t seem to notice that we were there. As we walked, rather briskly, inside, I heard screaming and arguing. My dad hadn’t gotten out of the van and he and my mom were arguing their way down the hall into the study. By now, we were upstairs in my brothers’room. We all sat there, staring at each other.
More arguing, more screaming, more confusion. Then, thump! And a loud wailing. Oh my God! My baby brother, someone had dropped my baby brother.
My older brother jumped with the rest of us and ran downstairs and returned within seconds with our wailing 6-month-old brother. We looked him over as best we could and he seemed fine to us, just a little shaken up.
The next things we heard were sirens. Now the police were here. Tears were starting to come to my eyes; everyone knew that something bad must have or was going to happen when the police came.
A while later, my dad came up to talk to us. He said that mommy had to leave. They were getting a divorce.
From then on, life was a blurry dream of endless custody and court battles, supervised and unsupervised visitations, confusion and hatred.
A ping-pong game is probably the best way to describe the first couple of years. My mom and dad were the paddles and the five kids were the ball. At first, my dad had us, then my mom, then my dad, then my mom.
After the final custody case was fought, we ended up with my father. It was a major victory for him because not only did he get custody of his own children, my two younger brothers and I, but he also got custody of my older brother and sister who were my half brother and sister and his stepchildren. It’s almost unheard of to her custody of stepchildren. If he hadn’t been awarded custody of them, he probably would have lost custody of all of us because the courts won’t split children up.
My mother knew that I was daddy’s girl, and she figured that hurting me would hurt him, so in turn, I was hurt a lot. She’d slap me and call me big mouth and she just never was good to me. I actually grew up thinking that being slapped across the face was normal, and that my parents constantly fighting were normal. I didn’t understand that what I was going through was very unique. So many things happened, so many stories to tell, I could go on forever. But I won’t. Part II

Chapter 8 Animal Abuse and Crime
Tapescript
Animal Abuse and Crime
The concept of animal rights can be interpreted in widely different ways and people’s attitudes differ greatly. On the one hand, some people may exercise the right to kill animals for the purpose of consumption or sport. Some people, on the other hand, will deprive themselves of the right to kill even the smallest animal by mistake.
Where do you stand on this issue? Consider the following three cases.
Vickie Kittles was convinced on 42 counts of animal neglect in Oregon in February 1995 after five weeks of trial. Kittles had a police record of illegally selling pets and had been charged with animal neglect before. She had avoided imprisonment by paying fines. But this time she had to complete her 7-month sentence in jail.
In 1999, a police officer named John Hurlman in Marine shot and killed a friendly family dog while he was jogging through a quiet well-kept neighborhood with a gun. He shot the dog in full view of its owner and a neighbor. Hurlman was charged with first and second degree animal abuse and second degree criminal mischief. Hurlman was indicted by a grand jury on several charges, including unlawful use of a firemarm and cruelty to animals. Charges were eventually dropped in exchange for Hurlman paying $10,000 to the dog owner for his loss. He also had to write an apology and do 32 hours of community service.
In the summer of 2002,q 24-year-old man was arrested in Missouri for allegedly burning a kitten on a barbecue grill as several other people stood around and watched in amusement. The kitten died and the man was charged with animal abuse, punished by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He was held $10,000 bail.
Do you think these punishments are appropriate, too extreme or too lenient? Should a cruel
act against a pet animal land a person in jail?
Actually, animal abuse is not just the result of a minor personality flaw in the abuser, but a symptom of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty against animals don’t stop there; many of them move on to their fellow humans. In 1987, three Missouri high school students were charged with beating to death a classmate. They had histories of repeated acts of animal mutilation starting several years earlier. One confessed that he had killed so many cats he’d lost count. Two brothers who murdered their parents had previously told classmates that they had cut off a cat’s head.
A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found that all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a boy.
Part I
C. Listen to the following statements twice and supply the missing information.
1. No one knows exactly how many species of animals there are. So far, scientists have
classified and named more than 1.5 million kinds of animals. Over half of these are different types of insects.
2. Many new species are discovered each year. Scientists believe there may be from 2 million to
as many as 50 million kinds of animals alive today. Many other kinds of animals used to live on the earth but have died out, like dinosaurs for example.
3. Domestic animals usually breed quickly. One female cat and her offspring can produce
420,000 cats in 7 years.
4. Holland with its population of 16 million has over 3.5 million cats and dogs. Every year about
70,000 of them end up in animal shelters.
5. In the U.S. an estimated 4 to 6 million cats and dogs are killed in animal shelters each year.
Millions more are abandoned, only to suffer from illness or injury before dying.
6. A study recently conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges has revealed
that use of live dogs by the 125 medical schools in the United States has decreased dramatically during the last two decades.
7. It is reported that in 1985, 73 percent of the schools reported using live dogs as teaching aids.
In 1994, 62 percent of the schools did. In 2001, only 32 percent of them did.
8. Failure to provide adequate food, water and shelter constitutes neglect. The use of physical
force sufficient to cause injury to an animal constitutes abuse. Abuse and neglect to animals constitutes cruelty, which is against the law in most states in the U.S.
9. Animal abuse is an indication of child abuse. In fact it has been found that animals are abused
in 88% of the families where children are abused.
10. Because animals can’t speak for themselves, we should support those who work for the
enforcement of animal rights and join those who can speak for animals.
11. The Animal Abuse Prevention Agency is a non-profit organization which takes a pro-active
approach in preventing cruelty to animals.
12. Working for animal rights is meant to benefit all species, both wild and domesticated.
13. A keen sense of smell enables dogs and wolves to find food, follow trails, and recognize
danger.
14. We think animals that are bred for food are just as capable of suffering as their wild
counterparts and it is their suffering that is at issue.
15. People who buy meat are solely responsible for the deaths of over 700 million animals every
year. The killing is done at their request and financed with their money. Their guilt is inescapable.
16. Some people argue that our intelligence makes us more important and valuable than animals.
But that view would imply that some mentally handicapped people would be less important than many animals.
17. Most scientists believe that all plant and animal species probably developed from a single
form of life that arose about 30 billion years ago.
18. The basic life form gradually changed so that through millions of years, new kinds of
animals have come into being. Some kinds are still alive. Others are extinct. All animals, whether living or extinct, are related to one another.
19. Some scientists believe that we are living in a period of mass extinction. In the United States
alone, about 40 species of birds, 35 species of animals, and 25 other species of animals have become extinct during the last 200 years.
20. Many of these species became extinct as a result of human activities. Hundreds of other
species in the United States have become endangered.
21. Today, however, more and more people are working to preserve the diversity of animal life
for future graduations.

Chapter 9 A Letter from Sunderland
Tapescript
A Letter from Sunderland
As I exited from the Sunderland train station, fear began to set in. I had just finished a six-hour plane journey followed by more than four hours on a train, and now I was supposed to find my way to my residence hall with a heavy suitcase. I was alone in a strange country and getting a little scared.
At the moment, a cab miraculously appeared before my eyes. The driver swiftly put my luggage in the trunk and asked where I was going. I somehow managed to mumble the address I had been given and we were quickly on our way. I think he asked me where I was from, but his accent was thick and hard to understand. I could have told him that my name was “The United States”.
Soon my uneasiness subsided and I realized where I was, England. Before now, it had seemed a distant dream. Back in the US, the University of Marine had offered me a scholarship and I had made the decision to spend a semester in the United Kingdom last year and the University of Sunderland was my school of choice.
Not only did they have a journalism program, but they would accept my scholarship, making it affordable for me to go. Although I was psyched to leave, I hadn’t prepared myself mentally for it when I actually got here.
England is a great place. So far everyone has been really friendly and helpful, and there are so many things to do and see here. Although some things are similar to the United States, there are some interesting cultural differences.
Little things that the locals take for granted seem so strange and foreign to me. It was a few days before I got used to looking right before crossing the street or saying football instead of soccer. Prompts for me to “get in the queue” were met with a blank stare before I realized I was being told to get in line. As fate would have it, I was put into a residence hall with mostly other Americans. There were also some students in the hall from Canada, Denmark and England. We bonded quickly and soon held a party together.
The first week here was a whirlwind of trying to complete necessary administrative details like registering with the university, getting a library card and finding the nearest pub. Good news, there’s one right around the corner!
Classes start on Monday, and I’m ready for them to begin. My only apprehension is that the professors or lectures will have such thick accents that I won’t be able to understand them. The accents here have very thick Scottish influences to them, so some of the locals are a bit hard to understand.
One of the things I am most excited about while being here is traveling to other parts of the United Kingdom and Europe. The Center for International Education at the University of Sunderland has many day trips for international students planned. Unlike the US, it’s fairly easy to travel in England. The rail system can take you pretty much anywhere you want to go. I can already tell that being here is going to be the experience of a lifetime. Although the decision to go so far away wasn’t an easy one, I’m glad to be here and can’t wait for the semester ahead.
Part I
C. Listen to the following statements twice and supply the missing information.
1. We are living in an era of globalization. Overseas study has become popular in many
countries.
2. Each year, over one million students worldwide choose to study outside their own countries.
3. Nearly 600,000 international students studied in the US in the academic year 2001-2002.
They comprised over 4% of America’s total higher education population.
4. Meanwhile, the number of American students studying abroad has more than doubled in the
last decade.
5. Since China adopted opening-up policies at the end of the 1970s, some 340,000 Chinese
students have gone abroad for education at various levels.
6. Recent reports by Britain and the US indicate that China ranks first in the number of students
who have gained doctorate degrees in the two countries.
7. According to a government report, overseas students from China are largely self-funded.
8. The number of high school and even primary school students going abroad has been
increasing recently.
9. Rapid domestic economic growth makes it more affordable for Chinese students to study
abroad.
10. The process of application has become easier since many intermediate agencies were
founded to help students.
11. In the age of a global economy, your experience abroad distinguishes you from others and
becomes an excellent resume builder.
12. Nowadays, China is attracting more and more foreign students from many countries.
13. The first group of foreign students came from East Europe in 1950. Since then over 60,000
students from 160 countries have come to China for further studies.
14. China is politically stable and economically optimistic, which is the main reason why so many
foreign students are attracted.
15. People living together in a society share a common culture. For example, almost all people
living in the United States use the English language, dress in similar styles, eat many of the same foods, and celebrate many of the same holidays.
16. Exchange can provide many benefits for all societies. Different societies can exchange ideas,
people, manufactured goods, and natural resources.
17. International education improves the relations among peoples of different cultures and
encourages cross-cultural communication.
18. People going abroad often find themselves in an unfamiliar culture, which can cause a feeling
of confusion and disorientation. Anthropologists refer to this phenomenon as culture shock. 19. Culture shock is something that many international students experience in the course of
adjusting to a new culture.
20. Many things bring about culture shock---different foods and ways of eating, different learning
and teaching methods, the peculiar attitudes of people in a certain place, etc.
21. If you make good preparations before leaving your home country, you will have less trouble
living and studying overseas.

C. A warm and cordial relationship between neighbors can greatly increase the chances of a peaceful resolution. But in real life situations, loving one’s neighbor as oneself can be very difficult. Here are some statements about neighbors. Listen to the m twice and supply the missing information.
1. Good fences make good neighbors. It is said that this proverb first appeared in the poem
"Mending Wall" by the American poet Robert Frost.
2. This proverb means that good neighbors respect one another's property. As long as neighbors
mind their own business, they will get along fine. Good farmers, for example, maintain their fences in order to keep their livestock from wandering onto neighboring farms.
3. Li Ming and I have been great neighbors and friends for four years. We have been through
many experiences together, learning and playing together, and there seems to be no border between us.
4. Difficult neighbors refer to those who are not easy to get along with, to deal with or to put up
with, when a dispute arises.
5. The Bible says: "Love thy neighbor" But in real life situations, loving one's neighbor as
oneself can be very difficult.
6. We build fences to keep our dog in our own yard and not in our neighbor's. Folks well off
enough to have a swimming pool build a fence around it to keep outsiders out--and safe.
7. But we build too many fences and walls--walls in our personal lives, walls in our churches,
walls in our community and nation. So we have walls of hostility, anger, judgment, indifference, and isolation. We have walls dividing race, class, gender, and neighborhood.
8. A warm and cordial relationship between neighbors can greatly increase the chances of a
peaceful resolution.
9. Some people say that good fences make bad neighbors and others say good lawyers make bad
neighbors.
10. Mr. Mallow and Mr. Robins own attractive homes in a desirable community. Both are good
residents according to their property manager. But they are never good neighbors to each other.
11. It is true that we all need to be good neighbors. Students and residents need to respect each
other, and the university needs to respect the neighborhood
12. Being a good neighbor means working together to win together. Helping your fellow neighbor
without expecting something in return is being a good neighbor.
13. A 60-year-old woman was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with attempted first-degree
murder, for the stabbing of her next-door neighbor.
14. A man lived in a house that was separated from a next-door neighbor by a hedge. He allowed
the hedge to grow to a towering height, blocking out all the sun in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor tried to communicate about the problem, but was met with a wall of silence and quickly closed doors.
15. My father is being sued by his neighbor for building up the 6-feet-tall wood fence between his
neighbor's property and his own. There was an existing 4-feet-tall wood fence, but my father decided to tear that down and put up a new one. The result is: good fences make bad neighbors.
16. My housemates and I were fined $70 last month because there was trash in front of our house.
The worst part about it is that it wasn't our trash.
17. My next-door neighbor is not only mean but noisy; she often plays her stereos loud enough to
wake up the whole community.
18. A man known as the "most annoying neighbor" went before a jury for the first time last
Tuesday on charges of littering in his home's yard. Neighbors have complained about the piles of junk and rats in his yard for more than 10 years.
19. When some neighbors complained about the loud noise that my classmates made on weekends,
the university quickly adopted a new noise policy that restricted some traditional events held on weekends.
20. There are good neighbors and bad neighbors, both students and non-students, that live around
the campus. I am not trying to say that our neighbors are bad or mean, just that the university should not always take their side.
21. Every year in the US, the Good Neighbor A wards are given to about 2,000 winners who have
made extraordinary commitment to improving the quality of life in their communities.
22. We hope to show the world the neighbor's virtues and to inspire people around the country to
contribute to their communities.
23. Indonesia and Australia are neighbors, whether we like it or not. Between neighbors, there are
always ups and downs. Sometimes we have very good and excellent relations and at other times we may have some problems--this is just normal between neighbors.
Part II Difficult Neighbors
A. Y ou are going to hear a passage entitled Difficult Neighbors. Listen to it carefully and decide whether the following statements are true or false. Write "T" for true and "F" for false in the blanks.
1. ( T ) Disputes between neighbors are common and lots of things can cause conflicts.
According to the passage, more than half of the disputes can be resolved through
mediation.
2. ( F ) In Judge Duncan's eyes, 50 to 60 percent of cases about neighborhood disputes are
caused by ludicrous and trivial matters.
3. ( F ) The speaker implied, not stated, that blue-collar workers could not be good neighbors
to white-collar workers.
4. ( T ) According to the judge's account, it was the university man who charged his next-door
neighbor with civil harassment.
5. ( T ) Both the blue-collar worker and the university man admitted that they had been
irrational in their behavior to each other.
6. ( F ) In the judge's second story, as the police could not resolve the dispute between the two
women, they had to submit their dispute to court.
7. ( T ) The dispute between the two women started when one unintentionally slammed the
door in the other's face.
A.Listen to the passage again and complete the following sentences with the
information you have got.
1. In Alameda County, California, he recalls, two neighbors didn't see eye to eye on anything. One was a blue-collar worker who was politically conservative, the other a university employee who was liberal. The university man's tree dropped apples in the other's yard. When they rotted, the blue-collar man threw them back. The university man left the gate to their common driveway open, upsetting his neighbor, who liked it closed. Finally, the blue-collar man bought a mannequin, dressed it in a military uniform and installed it in a window facing his neighbor's house--with right arm upraised and middle finger extended. The other man charged him with civil harassment.
2. In Albany, N.Y., two women hadn't spoken to each other in nine years, even though they had once been friends. Meanwhile, they had kept the police busy answering complaints that the other's TV was too loud, her car was blocking the driveway or her kids were unruly. Finally the police insisted they submit their dispute to mediation.
第12章The Oscars
C. Listen to the following statements about the Oscars twice and supply the missing information.
1. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a professional honorary organization
comprised of over 6,000 motion picture artists and craftsmen.
2. Though most famous for its yearly awards, the Academy's general goal is the advancement of
the arts and sciences of motion pictures. Within that, the Academy fosters cultural, educational and technological cooperation among its members; it provides a forum for various branches of
the industry; it represents the viewpoint of its members; and it encourages educational activities between the professional community and the public.
3. To me, watching the live presentation of the Annual Academy A wards, with a bunch of friends
on a pleasant Sunday evening, is a relaxing experience.
4. Since 1969, the A wards program has been telecast throughout the world, by the mid-1990s
reaching movie fans in over 100 countries.
5. The Academy A ward of Merit, which we know as simply "the Oscar", depicts a knight holding
a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches
of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers and Technicians.
6. The Oscar statuette weighs 8.5 pounds and stands 13.5 inches tall. It is made of bronze plated
with 24-karat gold.
7. How the statuette got the nickname Oscar isn't clear. A popular story has been that Academy
librarian and eventual executive director Margaret Herrick said that it resembled her Uncle Oscar. A reporter allegedly overheard her and helped brand the golden guy. In any case, by the sixth A wards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.
8. Membership in the Academy is limited to those who have achieved the highest level of
distinction in the arts and sciences of motion pictures. Members currently represent 14 branches--Actors, Art Directors, Cinematographers, Directors, Documentary, Executives, Film Editors, Music, Producers, Public Relations, Short Films and Feature Animation, Sound, Visual Effects, and Writers. At this time, there are over 5,700 voting members of the Academy.
9. A wards are presented for outstanding individual or collective efforts of the year in up to 25
categories. Up to five nominations are made in most categories, with balloting for these nominations restricted to members of the Academy branch concerned.
10. For instance, nominations for awards in the Foreign Language and Short Film categories are
made by large committees of members drawn from all branches. Best Picture nominations and final winners in most categories are determined by vote of the entire voting membership of over 5,700 individual filmmakers.
11. Walt Disney holds the record with 64 Academy A ward nominations. John Williams' 42
nominations make him the most nominated living person.
12. Meryl Streep has 13 nominations. Katharine Hepburn holds the distinction of the most wins
with four Leading Actress Oscars.
13. Walt Disney is the all-time winner with 26 Academy A wards to his name, including three
Special A wards.
14. In 1929, the first statuette ever presented went to Emil Jannings, who was named best actor for
his roles in "The Last Command" and "The Way of All Flesh". That first year, 15 statuettes were awarded.
15. Shirley Temple was the youngest recipient when she was presented a juvenile Academy A ward
at the age of 6.
16. The ceremony honoring 2003 achievements in motion pictures was held on Sunday, February
29, 2004. The 76th Annual Academy A wards Presentation was broadcast live from the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland by the ABC Television Network.
17. Billy Crystal hosted the 76th Academy A wards. This was the eighth year that Crystal has
served as host of the presentation. His personality and quick wit are uniquely suited to the Oscar live shows.
18. With more than two dozen awards handed out over the course of the evening, the 76th Oscar
night was certainly a long one -- about three hours, 40 minutes. The longest one is four hours,
16 minutes, which was set in 2002.
19. The Oscar red carpet has become the largest fashion show in the world with each gown an
individual work of art. Inside the theatre the evening is all about film. But on the red carpet it's the look that counts.
20. When it comes to the Oscars, it's not about who wins or loses, it's about who looks good doing
it. For fashion lovers, Oscar's runway--red carpet--is an annual highlight.
21. It indeed was a black and beautiful night at the 74th Oscar A wards ceremony. The night will go
down into the history of Oscars as the most memorable night. That night, both the leading actor and leading actress awards went to African-Americans.
22. Marilyn Monroe's career as an actress spanned 16 years. She made 29 films, 24 in the first 8
years of her career. In 1999, Marilyn was voted as the "Sexiest Woman of the Century" by People magazine. Over 40 years after her death, Marilyn still has the power to captivate fans of all ages. Y et, she never got a nomination for an Oscar.
