Unit 1
Script 1
Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.
Talia: Look, Mom, I ha ve to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye．Nick：Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?
Talia：I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again：When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?
Nick：I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting．Talia：Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．
Nick：Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands , and she takes me to lunch．Talia：Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.
Nick：Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.
Talia：Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.
Nick：Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.
Talia：OK. Can you think of anything else?
Nick：Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．
Talia：A commercial? What commercial?
Nick：I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．
Script 2
Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．
Nick：OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…
Jackie：So，you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.
Nick：Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?
Jackie：Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.
Nick：Cool!
Jackie：In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?
Nick：Sure.
Jackie：OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day. Nick：So far, So good.
Jackie：OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, ―Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?‖
Nick：Uh—huh.
Jackie：And you say, ―That’s me. ‖Or something like that．
Nick：Right．
Jackie：And then the kid says, ―Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?‖ And you say, ―Kicks. What else?‖
Nick：That’s it?
Jackie：That’s it.
Nick：So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…a nd talk to a kid?
Jackie：That’s all you have to do.
Talia：That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch.
Then she edited the tape. So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.
Nick：Oh. wow!
Unit 2
Script 1
Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story. Tony: Come in. What's going on?
Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.
Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say?
Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.
Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this?
Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.
Tony: Of course! The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.
Talia: Still. I can't imagine...
Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?
Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.
Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story.
Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?
Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.
Script 2
Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you?
Amy: How about a large iced tea?
Patty: Coming right up.
Amy: ... and a little information.
Patty: What kind of information?
Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop. I was told that she's a member of this club.
Patty: Hmm. She used to be, but not anymore. She stopped coming here a while ago.
Maybe a year ago, even.
Amy: Oh. Too bad.
Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.
Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.
Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the
university. Maybe you could catch up with her there.
Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university?
Patty: Mmm-hmm.
Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.

Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?
Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!
Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?
Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class. In fact, it’s tonight.

Jackie: I’ve been taking classes here for about a year and I think he’s been my best teacher.

Jackie: Hi. Jackie Bishop. Well, that’s my real name. My stage name is Jackie Baker. Amy: So, do you have an agent?
Jackie: As a matter of fact, I spoke to an agent last week. I just sent him a tape, and he thought it was incredible.
Amy: I’m not surprised. You do seem… incredible.
Jackie: And my brother knows this film director. He’s going to introduce me to him. Amy: Oh, that’s great! Oh, wait, is your brother that soccer player…?
Jackie: Dean Bishop! That’s right! He’s my elder brother. We just adore each other! He’s a soccer star, and I’m going to be a movie star! Tonight he’s taking me out for a celebration.
Amy: Tonight? Really? What are you celebrating?
Jackie: Oh, just … this thing. Nothing really. Anyway, he’s taking me to this restaurant near here. Valentino’s. Have you ever eaten there?

Jackie: Really? We might have seen each other around campus.
Talia: I guess so. Or we may have been in a class together. I'm taking journalism classes. Jackie: No, it couldn't have been a class. I'm taking acting classes, like Amy.
Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.
Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late for Professor Roberts. Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you.

Dean: I've been leaving messages for you all afternoon! Why haven't you called me back? Jackie: Sorry. I left my cell phone at home.
Dean: All right, listen, we need to talk...
Jackie: Dean, don't interrupt! This is serious. I was sitting in the Student Lounge at school when a woman came up to me and started a conversation. So...
Dean: Wait. I have to tell you something important. We may have a slight problem here... Jackie: Dean! I told you not to interrupt!
Dean: OK. I give up. What?
Jackie: So this woman Amy Ask someone not to interrupt you and I were talking
when a friend of hers showed up. Then, when Amy introduced us, her friend said I looked familiar.
Dean: So?
Jackie: So, then she asked me if I worked for Kicks Shoes!
Dean: There is no Kicks Shoes.
Jackie: I know that and you know that, but she doesn't know...
Dean: How does she know about...
Jackie: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.
Dean: Newsline ?
Jackie: Yes! What if she knows about what we did to Nick Crawford?
Dean: Shh! Keep your voice down. What I've been trying to tell you is that Nick knows everything! He knows that I'm the one who's behind all this. And he even knows about you.
Jackie: He knows about me? Oh, no! Look, this whole thing was your idea!
Dean: Shh. I told you to keep it down. People are starting to look at us!

Jackie: OK. I'll calm down. But, Dean, I'm worried. I could get into real trouble.
Dean: You? Why, I'm the one who sent the phony tape to Newsline.
Jackie: Yes, but I was the one who posed as the Kicks executive.
Dean: Big deal.
Jackie: What do you mean, big deal? I did a superb job. I helped you get Nick suspended! Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.
Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters? Dean: Byron Walters?
Jackie: Yes, that film director friend of yours? Remember? The director who's going to make me a star!!
Dean: Oh, him...
Jackie: You said to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.
Dean: Uh, I forgot to tell you. There is no Byron Walters. He quit the business.
Jackie: But he was going to give me my big break, the break that's going to make me a star.
Dean: Sorry, Jackie.
Jackie: No, you're not. I don't think you're sorry at all now. But you will be! You tricked me, just like you tricked Nick Crawford. I don't have to stand for this.

Nick: This is fantastic. I am so relieved. I was beginning to think it was all over for me. Talia: Are you ready to go? If we leave now, we’ll still be able to catch Tony.
Nick: Look, Talia. The news has been on. There’s nothing we can do to change it…
Talia: I guess you’re right.
Nick: Why don’t you finish dinner?
Talia; … But if we leave now, Tony will still be in the office.

Talia: You mean when we were studying for that Shakespeare exam?
Nick: Well, I… uh… I wanted to ask you out.
Talia: You did? Wow!... So why didn’t you?
Nick: I’d heard you had a boyfriend.
Talia: Oh, no! Well, I had a boyfriend, but we split up during that summer. In fact, we had split up by mid-semester.

Talia: Well, I am so glad you waited, Tony.... Tah-dah!
Tony: So that’s the tape?
Talia: Yup. This is the tape that will get Nick’s name cleared.

Talia: Yes! And they both admitted that there was no Kicks!
Amy: Get out of here!
Talia: And Dean actually said that he had sent the tape to us.

Tony: Talia, let me have the tape.
Talia: Oh, sure. Here. Oh, this is so exciting.
Script 2
Talia: Here it is, the tape that will get Nick reinstated on the team. Just a minute. I must not have rewound it... OK, now listen.... What’s going on? Is this tape player working? Tony: It’s been working just fine. In fact, I just had it cleaned last week.
Amy: Try another tape and see if that works.
Tony: Thanks, Amy. I was just about to try that.
Amy: Did you check that the recording light was on?
Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on.
Tony: Did you press "play" and "record" together?
Talia: I don’t know! I tho ught I did! The tape was moving.
Tony: You probably just pressed "play".
Talia: This is a disaster.
Tony: Sorry, Talia. I’m afraid you’ve just learned a lesson the hard way.
Amy: Poor Talia.
Talia: Poor Nick! How am I going to tell him?
Unit 9
Script 1
Nick: Here I am! Ready to celebrate.
Talia: Didn’t you get my message?
Nick: No! What’s wrong? Are you OK?
Talia: Yeah ... No... Nick, I don’t know how to tell you...
Nick: What are you talking about?
Talia: The tape. I mean, there is no tape. I never recorded Jackie and Dean’s conversation. Nick: Yes, there is. I was there.
Talia: No. I messed it up. I didn’t press the right buttons.
Nick: Oh, no!
Talia: I feel awful. If I had been more careful, we would have had the evidence!
Nick: Wow! And we were supposed to be celebrating tonight.
Talia: How stupid! I can’t believe I didn’t press the right buttons! I just wish I had been more careful.
Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourself
Talia: Well, I’m supposed to be a professional! And I want to be a reporter!
Script 2
Talia: I wish I could go back and do it over.
Nick: Well, you can’t. Take it from me. I’m an athlete. I know. You just have to forget what’s done and go on.
Talia: Y ou’re right. What’s done is done. Orin this case, what’s not done is done.
Nick: Look, Talia, if you hadn’t done such a good job of covering the story, we never would have known the truth.
Talia: How can you stay so positive?
Nick: I don’t know. It’s just my nature.
Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job.
Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.
Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad.
Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.
Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?
Talia: No, I don’t think so.
Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.
Unit 10
Script 1
Talia: So, what are you going to do now?
Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.
Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach? Would he believe me if I told him about Dean and Jackie?
Nick: It wouldn't matter if he believed you, Talia. I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enough
Talia: Who is that?
Jackie: Surprise!
Talia: You?
Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy. I was thinking about calling, but then I decided to just surprise you with a visit.
Talia: Well, yes, this is a surprise.
Jackie: It's amazing.How easily you can get people's addresses these days. Oh, hello, Nick! Remember me?
Nick: I certainly do.
Talia: What are you doing here?
Jackie: Do you have a video camera?
Talia: Yes.
Jackie: Do you want a great story? One that will make us all really famous?
Talia: What's the catch?
Jackie: No catch. Just one small condition. If Nick agrees not to press charges against me, I'll tell the whole truth.
Script 2
Jackie: I am so excited. You're sure I look OK? Do you think I should have worn a different outfit?
Talia: You look fine. Really.
Jackie: I can't wait to see this when it's broadcast. I'm going to get national exposure! Talia: OK. I'm ready. I'm here with Jackie Bishop, sister of soccer player Dean Bishop.
Jackie has decided to come forward. She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?
Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posed as the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...
Talia: Kicks.
Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.
Talia: And then?
Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement
Talia: And did he?
Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over
from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?
Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him.
Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.
Talia: I see.
Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trusted
him.
Unit 11
Script 1
Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.
Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, ―Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.‖
Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say.
Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK?
Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.
Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so
myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to
be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of
that.
De an: That lying…
Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.
Dean: This is crazy!
Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through al l of this.
Nick: Thanks, Coach.
Coach: Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?
Nick: Oh, sure! But I might be late. There’s someone I have to go talk to.
Script 2
Amy: You must be very happy.
Nick: I really am. My name has been cleared. I’m really relieved. This has been a nightmare!

Tony: Depends on what?
Nick: I will talk to Newsline as long as my favorite reporter gets to do the interview. Tony: Oh, you must mean Talia.
Amy: Of course he does.
Tony: Go ahead. Just remember… Don’tlet your emotions get in the way of your job. Nick: Just one more thing. Can we schedule the in terview for later? I’ve got to go to soccer practice now.
Tony: No problem. Talia will be waiting for you.

Talia: No, Chicago.
Nick: Right, Chicago. Anyway, she said they want you to start right away.
Talia: True. But Nick, I…
Nick: Wait, Talia. I have to tell you how I feel.
Talia: OK. Go ahead. I’m listening.
Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.
Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?
Nick: What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.
Talia: Good. Because this is where I’m moving.
Nick: Huh?
Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.
Nick: So in other words... I just made a fool of myself.
Talia: No. As usual, you were just being honest. It’s one of the qualities I like most about you.
1单元 W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing. 谢谢你和我见面，珀尔医生。我需要你放弃你的课，文学和写作。 M: It's only the second week of class, Stacey, why are you giving up so quickly? We've only written one essay so far, and you won't get your grade back until next Wednesday! 男：这只是上课的第二个星期，斯泰西，你为什么这么快就放弃了？到目前为止，我们只写了一篇文章，直到下星期三你才会恢复你的分数.！ W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don't want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class! 我知道，先生。但作为三分之一年工程专业的学生，我不想在写作课上成绩不好而降低我的平均分数.！ M: OK ... What's worrying you? 男：好的…什么让你担心？ W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a writing course ... I don't know. I'll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all –a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements. 女：我花了两个星期读了很高的期望，然后花了我10个小时写了这篇长达三页的文章.。嗯，工程学课程很简单，但很重要，因为我们知道。但写作课程…我愿意不知道。我下学期只上一门电影课，一点也不难--每部电影的一二段评论.。这将涵盖我的人文要求。 M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me! 男：好的，斯泰西，听着：在大学里，我是相反的。数学很难，文学很容易。但后来，当我打开我的咖啡馆，发现图书馆员，位于第十五街，数学帮助我！ W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That's our favorite coffee place.

When he did not die, they realized that tomatoes were safe to eat and no longer avoided them.

Unit 1 Script 1 Talia: It’s all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that’s the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he’s innocent. [Knock on door] Talia: Look, Mom. I have to go. I’ll call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye. Nick: Hi. I came as soon as I could. What’s up? Talia: I’ve been thinking about this all day… Now tell me, again: When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman? Nick: I’ve already told you. She came up to me at the juice bar. We set up a meeting. Talia: Right. At her office. Except you never went up to her office. Nick: Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch. Talia: Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recall. Nick: Right.

第六单元 ALS-I Script Tanya: Hello, everyone. Welcome to your Tuesday Lunch Break. I’m Tanya Rivero. We begin today with the latest census report out this morning, showing the US population is expected to grow significantly older over the next several decades. By 2050 it is projected to reach 83.7 million, almost double the number of elderly in 2012. The baby boomers are largely behind this shift, as the first wave began turning 65 a few years ago. And the racial face of the elderly is changing, with many more Hispanics and non-Whites in the mix. By 2050, the U.S. is expected to have the largest older population of all developed nations with the exception of China and India, the world’s two mo st populous countries. Joining us now to break this all down is Daniel Mitchell, a senior fellow at the Libertarian think-tank, the Cato Institute. Hi Daniel, thanks for being with us. Daniel: I’m glad to be on the program. Tanya: So, Daniel, this report concludes that this dramatic population shift is expected to drain resources from areas like education and shift them toward areas like health care. I think that’s probably an obvious shift, but what are some of the other changes in store? Daniel: From an e conomic perspective, the big thing we need to look at is we’re going t o have a worsening worker-dependent ratio. What does that mean? It simply means that as our population ages, there are going to be more and more old people relying on that 16 to 64 working age group, to produce the goods and services our economy needs. Tha t’s a big challenge. Setting aside government policy and everything else, an aging population, whether it’s in the US, Japan, or in Europe, is going to be a significant burden for a lot of economies moving forward. Tanya: So what does that mean specificall y? Let’s talk about Medicare, is there any chance it will last? Daniel:That’s the real challenge. Now let’s bring government policy into the mix. When you have tax and transfer programs like Medicare, like Social Security, like Medicaid, and a lot of these programs explicitly funnel big benefits to the elderly, and your population is aging; that’s a recipe for fiscal crisis. I mean, we all probably remember in school, learning about a po pulation pyramid. The assumption was always that you’d have a lot more workers and a small group of retirees. Well, we’re moving from a population pyramid to something more like a population cylinder, and tax and transferring government programs simply don’t work. You’re going to have too many people riding in the wagon, and not enough people pulling the wagon because the tax rates that you would have to impose on those workers would be crippling to the economy. Tanya: And that cylinder can almost get top heavy, which would certainly mean it might topple. Now let’s talk a lit tle bit about the younger workers. Is there any hope for this group? What do they have to look forward to? Daniel: Well right now, they’re already paying 15.3% payroll taxes, between Soc ial Security and Medicare, that’s the so called FICA, part of their pa ycheck. Of course, they only see half of it because the other half is paid on their behalf by their employers. But, it’s 15.3% now. In order to try to bail out Social Security and Medica re, you’re talking about those tax rates in effect doubling. And of co urse, that’s a huge burden on these younger workers at
