U 2 Listening 1

A Student Presentation

Teacher: OK, class, let’s get started with the first presentation. Sompel has prepared a short presentation about his home country of Bhutan. Go ahead, Sompel.

Sompel: Thanks. Um, hi, everybody! You know that my name is Sompel, but you may not know that I’m from Bhutan. Bhutan is a small country—high in the Himalaya Mountains—between India

and China. In our language, Bhutan is known as Druk Yul, which in English is land, land of the thunder dragon. The dragon is even displayed on our flag. For many years, my country was isolated from the world, partly due to its geography—it’s surrounded by high mountains—but also because of government policies.

Our government had always been a, an absolute monarchy, I mean, government headed by a king with unlimited power. Anyway, until very recently, Bhutan had no electricity, no cars or trucks, no telephones, and no postal service. You may be surprised to learn that in Bhutan people have only had television since 1999. It was the last country on Earth to get it. You may be wondering: Why did Bhutan reject the modern world for so long?

Well, the government was trying to protect the people from negative influences such as high crime rates, youth violence, and pollution. But the king has admitted that the policy of isolation had many negative consequences. For example, the education system definitely fell behind. Some people never learned to read and write. Then, one of our kings began opening up Bhutan to the outside world, and our current king has continued the process. There are new roads, schools, and health clinics. The king doesn’t want to open up the country all at once to the outside world and risk ruining it. He wants our country’s development to be guided by, now let me think, oh, yes, Gross National Happiness.

Teacher: Sompel, sorry to interrupt, before you continue, could you define Gross National Happiness for the class, please?

Sompel: Um, sure. How should I put it? Well, you’ve probably heard of Gross National Product, which is a phrase that refers to the dollar value of all the goods and services produced by a country

over a period of time. It’s one way of measuring a country’s success. But Gross National Happiness is different. Actually, one of our kings invented the phrase Gross National Happiness. It’s the approach the country takes to the domestic development of Bhutan—to help make sure that the people are always happy with their lives and with the country. There are four parts, um, four “pillars”, to this approach: good government, sustainable development, environmental protection, and cultural preservation. So, for good government, the king puts the needs of the country first. In fact, even though the people love him, he gave away most of his power to the people in 2006.

That’s when the country transitioned to democracy. The king still has an important role, but he no longer has absolute power. Real power belongs to the people and the officials that we elect. Sustainable development means that we help our country grow without damaging the environment. And the pillar of environmental protection is closely related to sustainable development, too. Agriculture is very

important in Bhutan, and we are trying to find new ways to farm without hurting the

environment.

Also, the government wants to keep 68 percent of the land covered in forests. Cultural preservation—the last pillar—is a challenge though. Half of Bhutan’s population is in their twenties or younger, and the government anticipates that some young people will get involved with gangs, crime, or drugs, for example. The government has banned television channels that they think are harmful. Even so, youth gangs are growing. Theft, which was not very common before, is also rising. On the other hand, there is a positive side to all of the changes.

In a mountainous country such as Bhutan, communication technologies—for instance, mobile phones and the Internet—allow people to communicate more easily than ever before. And it seems that the arts are really moving ahead. Twenty years ago Bhutan had never produced a movie, but these days we produce over 20 a year. And some movies have even displayed the difficulties that Bhutan has had with the challenges of the modern world. These types of movies are important. They can help us explore the contradictions that have come with our changing culture.

Teacher: Sompel, how do you view Bhutan’s future?

Sompel: Well I’m hopeful about Bhutan’s future, and I’m glad that the approach of Gross National Happiness is helping to make sure that we don’t lose our beautiful environment and the best parts of

our ancient culture.

Sompel: Um, sure. How should I put it? Well, you’ve probably heard of Gross National Product, which is a phrase that refers to the dollar value of all the goods and services produced by a country over a period of time. It’s one way of measuring a country’s success. But Gross National Happiness is different. Actually, one of our kings invented the phrase Gross National Happiness. It’s the approach

一个学生演讲

老师:好,课上,让我们开始第一个演示。Sompel准备了一个简短的演讲对他的祖国不丹。来吧,Sompel。

Sompel:谢谢。嗯,嗨,大家好!你知道我的名字是Sompel,但你可能不知道我来自不丹。不丹是一个小国家,在印度喜马拉雅山间

和中国。在我们的语言中,不丹被称为Druk尤尔?,而英语是土地,土地的雷声龙。龙是显示在我们的旗帜。多年来,我的国家是世界隔绝,部分是由于其地理位置——这是高山脉的遐想之中——但仍包围也因为政府的政策。

我们的政府一直是,绝对君主制,我的意思是,政府以国王为首的无限权力。不管怎么说,直到最近,不丹没有电力,没有汽车或卡车,没有电话,没有邮政服务。你可能会惊奇地发现,自1999年以来,不丹人只有电视。它是地球上最后一个国家。您可能想知道:为什么不丹拒绝现代世界如此之久?

政府是在保护人们从高犯罪率等负面影响,青少年暴力和污染。但国王已经承认的孤立政策有很多的负面影响。例如,教育体系落后。有些人从来没有学会读和写。然后,我们的一个国王开始向外界开放不丹,和我们目前的国王继续流程。有新的道路、学校和诊所。国王不想开放国家一次性向外界和风险破坏它。他希望我们的国家的发展指导下,让我想想,哦,是的,国民幸福总值。

老师:Sompel,对不起打断,继续之前,你可以定义类,国民幸福总值吗?

Sompel:嗯,当然。我应该怎么说呢?好吧,你可能听说过的国民生产总值,这是一个短语,指的是价值的一个国家生产的商品和服务

经过一段时间。它是衡量一个国家的成功的一种方式。但国民幸福总值有所不同。实际上,我们的一个国王发明了短语国民幸福总值。

这是不丹的国家需要国内发展帮助确保人们总是快乐与他们的生活和这个国家。有四个部分,嗯,四个“支柱”,这种方法:好的政府,可持续发展,环境保护和文化保护。所以,好的政府,国王把国家的需要。事实上,尽管爱他的人,他把他的大部分权力在2006年的人。

当民主国家转变。国王仍有一个重要的角色,但他不再有绝对的权力。真正的权力属于人民,我们选出的官员。可持续发展意味着我们帮助我们的国家发展而破坏环境。支柱的环境保护与可持续发展密切相关。农业是非常

重要的在不丹,我们正试图找到新的方法来农场不伤害环境。

同时,政府希望保持68%的土地被森林覆盖。文化保护-最后一个支柱是一个挑战。不丹人口的一半是在二十几岁或更年轻,和政府预计,一些年轻人将参与团伙,犯罪,例如,或药物。政府已经禁止电视频道,他们认为是有害的。即便如此,青年团伙正在增长。盗窃,这不是很常见,也在不断上升。另一方面,有一个积极的一面的所有更改。

在一个多山的国家,如不丹、通信技术实例,手机和互联网,允许人们比以往任何时候都更容易沟通。和艺术似乎真的前进。二十年前不丹从未制作一部电影,但是这些天我们每年生产超

过20。甚至一些电影显示不丹的困难与现代世界的挑战。这些类型的电影是很重要的。他们可以帮助我们探索的矛盾有改变文化。

老师:你怎么看待不丹,Sompel的未来?

不丹Sompel:我希望的未来,我很高兴,国民幸福总值的方法是帮助确保我们不失去我们美丽的环境和最好的部分

我们的古代文化。

Sompel:嗯,当然。我应该怎么说呢?好吧,你可能听说过的国民生产总值,这是一个短语,指的是价值的一个国家生产的商品和服务在一段时间内。它是衡量一个国家的成功的一种方式。但国民幸福总值有所不同。实际上,我们的一个国王发明了短语国民幸福总值。它的方法

A Study Group Discussion

Jose: So, are you all ready to review for the test?

Matt: Yes.

Amina: Sure.

Jose: What should we review first?

Amina: I think we should start with the chapter on Native Americans. There is a lot of information in that chapter.

Lauren: Oh, definitely.

Jose: OK. So what do you think were the most important facts from that chapter?

Matt: Well, I found the whole chapter interesting. You know, when I was growing up, we didn’t learn much about Native Americans in school.

Amina: Me, neither. I had no idea that there are more than 300 Native American reservations in the United States, did you?

Jose: No, I definitely didn’t. And I wasn’t aware that the reservations only make up two percent of the total land area of the United States. I thought it was a lot more.

Matt: Really?

Lauren: Well, just think, that’s only a small portion of the land they used to have.

Jose: Yes. And it seems that the land is very important to them. It’s a big part of their culture and traditions.

Amina: Right. Native Americans believe in living in harmony with the land, the plants, and the animals. They have a lot of knowledge about these things.

Jose: I think the chapter said that nature was part of their traditions and their religion, too. Matt: Uh-huh. And then the federal government took away their land.

Amina: And they were forced to adopt American traditions and language. It must have been very hard for them.

Matt: What did Professor Hawkins say about the reservation lands? That most of them are west of the Mississippi River?

Lauren: Yeah, and he highlighted the fact that the land in a lot of reservations is really dry and not suitable for agriculture. For a long time, the people who lived there lived in bad economic conditions.

Jose: I didn’t realize that. So, when did things begin to get better?

Amina: I think Professor Hawkins said it was around 1970 when the federal government—or the Supreme Court, maybe—granted Native Americans the right to run various businesses on their reservations.

Matt: Right, and the money from their businesses has enabled them to improve their lands and undertake other big projects. The chapter mentioned a good example—the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness area.

Amina: Where’s that place again?

Lauren: Um, it’s on the coast north of San Francisco, California.

Matt: Exactly. It was founded in 1997 by a group of Native Americans who want the land to be as wild as possible. There’s very limited access to the area. There aren’t even any roads going through it.

Amina: I wonder why.

Matt: Well, they want to save the land for traditional cultural uses. Our book said that from the perspective of the people who live there, the coast and the redwood forests are sacred. That’s where they gather food and medicine and hold their religious ceremonies.

Lauren: There’s another example I know about. A Native American group down in Florida—um, the Seminole people—are using their money to restore part of the Big Cypress Swamp, a place that’s sacred to their people. They’re bringing back animals that used to live there, and they’re removing plants that weren’t there at the time of their ancestors.

Jose: That’s neat! It’s great that they’re trying to protect and regain some of their old traditions. Amina: Yes, that’s an awesome objective. I hope they’re successful.

Matt: Me, too. That seems like a good review of this chapter, right?

Lauren: Yes, that covers everything. Let’s move on to the next topic.

一个研究小组讨论

何塞:那么,你们准备做考试前的复习吗?

马特:是的。

何塞:好的。所以你认为是最重要的事实从这一章?

马特:嗯,我发现整个章有趣。你知道,在我成长的过程中,我们在学校没有学到很多关于印第安人。

阿米娜:我,没有。我不知道有超过300印第安人保留在美国,是吗?

荷西:不,我绝对没有。我不知道预订只占美国总土地面积的百分之二。我认为这是一个很多。麦特:真的吗?

劳伦:嗯,只是觉得,这只是一小部分他们曾经拥有的土地。

何塞:是的。,似乎是非常重要的。这是一个很大的文化和传统的一部分。

阿米娜:没错。印第安人相信生活在和谐与土地、植物、动物。他们对这些事情有很多知识。何塞:我认为这一章说,自然是他们的传统和宗教信仰的一部分,。

马特:嗯。然后是联邦政府拿走了他们的土地。

阿米娜,他们被迫采用美国传统和语言。它一定是非常困难的。

马特:保留区霍金斯教授说什么了呢?,他们中的大多数是密西西比河以西的吗?

劳伦:是的,他强调,土地在很多预订很干,不适合农业。很长一段时间,住在那里的人生活在糟糕的经济条件。

何塞:我不知道。所以,当情况好转了吗?

阿米娜:我认为霍金斯教授说,这是在1970年,联邦政府或最高法院,maybe-granted原住民权利运行各种企业保留。

马特:对的,从他们的业务使他们提高他们的土地和其他大型项目。本章提到的部族间的看不惯一个好的Sinkyone荒野地区。

阿米娜:那地方在哪儿吗?

劳伦:嗯,它在北部海岸的旧金山,加利福尼亚。

马特:没错。它成立于1997年,由一群土著美国人想要土地尽可能野生。有非常有限的访问该地区。甚至没有任何道路

通过它。

阿米娜:我想知道为什么。

马特:嗯,他们想保存传统文化的土地用途。我们的书说,住在那里的人的角度来看,海岸和红杉森林是神圣的。这是他们收集食物和药品和举行宗教仪式。

劳伦:我知道另一个例子。一群印第安人Florida-um,塞米诺尔)使用他们的钱来恢复大柏树沼泽的一部分,一个神圣的地方他们的人。他们带回动物住在那里,他们把植物没有的时候他们的祖先。

何塞:太棒了!很好,他们试图保护和恢复一些他们古老的传统。

Listening 2-1

Long ago, people lived as hunters and gatherers. Over time people learned how to grow plants and raise domestic animals. Once this happened, there was a transition to agriculture in many societies. However, even today there are groups who reject farming and continue to hunt animals and gather their own food.

The Hadza people are a group of hunter-gatherers who live in an isolated part of northern Tanzania. They have lived in the Great Rift Valley for a period of 10,000 years. The Hadza communicate in their own special language, called Hadzane.

The Hadza are not part of the modern economic system of Tanzania. When they are hungry, they can hunt or gather what they need for free. Hadza men can make a little money by displaying their hunting skills for tourists. It is an interesting contradiction that although the Hadza have very little, they share a lot. In fact, they share everything they have with others.

In the Great Rift Valley, modern farming has spread in recent years, and this development has had serious consequences for the Hadza. Their homeland is now only 25 percent of the size it was in the 1950s. Hunting is now more difficult for them, as there are fewer animals than before. The Hadza people anticipate that their way of life will disappear in the near future.

很久以前,人们的生活作为狩猎者和采集者。随着时间的推移,人们学会了如何种植植物和饲养家畜。一旦发生这种情况,有一个过渡到农业在许多社会中。然而,即使在今天有组织拒绝农业和继续猎杀动物,收集自己的食物。

哈人是一群猎人-采集者居住在一个孤立的坦桑尼亚北部的一部分。他们生活在东非大裂谷的10000年。哈德在自己特殊的交流语言,称为Hadzane。

哈不是坦桑尼亚的现代经济体系的一部分。当他们饿了,他们可以免费狩猎或收集他们所需要的。哈男人可以一点钱为游客展示他们的狩猎技巧。这是一个有趣的矛盾,尽管哈很少,他们分享了很多。事实上,他们什么都分享。

在东非大裂谷,近年来现代农业已经扩散,这哈发展有严重的后果。祖国现在只有25%的大小是在1950年代。狩猎是现在更加困难,比以前有更少的动物。哈人预计,在不久的将来,他们的生活方式将会消失。

1.What is the Hadza people’s attitude toward modern farming?

b. They reject it.

2. What do the Hadza people do for a living now?

a. They hunt or gather their own food.

3.Which word best describes the effect of modern farming on the Hadza way of life?

Example Answers

Notes:

?reject farming; still hunter-gatherers

?lived in the Great Rift Valley for 10,000 years; speak own language: Hadzane

?get paid for demonstrating hunting skills to tourists

?share everything they have

?modern farming (only 25 percent the size they were in the 1950s) makes it difficult to hunt / gather; Hadza expect that their way of life will soon disappear

Example Answers

Summary:

The Hadza people reject farming and still follow the ancient way of life known as hunting and gathering. They have lived in the Great Rift Valley in northern Tanzania for 10,000 years, and they speak their own language which is called Hadzane. The Hadza people don’t have much. In fact, Hadza men can make a little money by emonstrating hunting skills to tourists. Still, they share everything they have.

Example Answers (continued)

Nowadays, modern farming in Hadza lands is threatening the old way of life. The Hadza homeland is only 25 percent the size it was in the 1950s, which makes the hunting and gathering lifestyle much more difficult. Because of this, the Hadza people expect that their way of life will soon disappear.

答案示例

注:

?拒绝农业;仍然狩猎

?在东非大裂谷活了10000年,讲自己的语言:Hadzane

?向游客展示狩猎技能得到报酬

?分享一切

?现代农业(只有25%的大小在1950年代)很难寻找/收集;哈德认为他们的生活方式很快就会消失

答案示例

简介:

哈人民反对农业和仍然遵循古老的生活方式称为狩猎和采集。他们住在坦桑尼亚北部的东非大裂谷10000年来,和他们说自己的语言被称为Hadzane。人们没有太多的哈。事实上,哈男人可以通过emonstrating游客狩猎技巧。不过,他们什么都分享。

示例的答案(继续)

如今,现代农业在哈德的土地正威胁着旧的生活方式。哈德国土大小只有25%是在1950年代,这使得狩猎和采集的生活方式更加困难。正因为如此,哈德的人认为他们的生活方式很快就会消失。

Listening 2-2

A: What’s happening to the world’s languages?

B: Well, most people don’t know that a language dies every 14 days. When a language dies, no one can speak the language anymore. National Geographic helped found a project to save the world’s most unique languages.

A: How many languages are dying?

B: Scientists think that over half of the languages spoken today may no longer exist in 2100. In Chile, for example, the Huilliche language may die soon. Only a small portion of people can speak the language, and most of the speakers are over 70 years old.

A: Why does a language disappear?

B: There are many reasons. Governments sometimes create federal policies that tell citizens to speak only one language. Also, people may forget a language if they don’t speak it often.

A: What made you undertake the task of trying to save

these languages?

B: Language is the key to understanding how speakers think and communicate. Our objective is to help people keep their cultures alive. From my perspective as a scientist, I think our work is very important.

A: What do you do to help groups regain dying languages?

B: We enable people to study their language by giving them recording devices. We make dictionaries, and we highlight how people can teach their language to others. In the future, we can grant access to the recordings, so people can learn the language and keep it alive.

答:世界上的语言发生了什么?

嗯,大多数人都不知道每14天就有一种语言消失。当一种语言消失,没有人会说这种语言了。国家地理杂志帮助建立一个项目去拯救世界上最独特的语言。

死多少语言?

B:科学家认为,超过一半的语言今天可能不再存在2100年。在智利,例如,Huilliche语言可能很快就会死去。只有一小部分人能说

演讲者的语言,大多数已经有70多年的历史了。

为什么语言消失吗?

B:有很多原因。政府有时创建联邦政策,告诉公民只会讲一种语言。同时,人们可能会忘记语言如果他们不经常说话。

答:是什么让你承担的任务努力拯救

这些语言?

B:语言是了解扬声器思考和沟通的关键。我们的目标是帮助人们保持他们的文化的活力。在我看来作为一名科学家,我认为我们的工作非常

重要的。

你做什么来帮组恢复垂死的语言吗?

B:我们使人们学习他们的语言,向他们提供录音设备。我们字典,我们强调人们如何教他们的语言。在未来,我们可以授权访问录音,所以人们可以学习语言和保持活着。

Unit 1 一个大学男孩，不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动，被一份许诺轻松赚大钱的广告吸引了。男孩们很快就明白，如果事情看起来好得不像真的，那多半确实不是真的。 轻轻松松赚大钱 “你们该看看这个，”我向我们的两个读大学的儿子建议道。“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话，这兴许是一种办法。”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。塑料袋上印着一条信息说，需要招聘人投递这样的袋子，这活儿既轻松又赚钱。（“轻轻松松赚大钱!”）“我不在乎失不失尊严，”大儿子回答说。 “我可以忍受，”他的弟弟附和道。 “看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子，真使我痛心，”我说。 孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。我听了很高兴，便离城出差去了。午夜时分，我已远离家门，在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。电话铃响了，是妻子打来的。她想知道我这一天过得可好。 “好极了!”我兴高采烈地说。“你过得怎么样?”我问道。 “棒极了!”她大声挖苦道。“真棒!而且这还仅仅是个开始。又一辆卡车刚在门前停下。” “又一辆卡车?” “今晚第三辆了。第一辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的广告；第二辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的广告。我不知道这一辆装的啥，但我肯定又是四千份什么的。既然这事是你促成的，我想你或许想了解事情的进展。” 我之所以受到指责，事情原来是这样：由于发生了一起报业工人罢工，通常夹在星期日报纸里的广告插页，必须派人直接投送出去。公司答应给我们的孩子六百美金，任务是将这些广告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户人家去。 “不费吹灰之力!”我们上大学的大儿子嚷道。 “六百块!”他的弟弟应声道，“我们两个钟点就能干完!” “西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页，”妻子告诉我说，“现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。就在我们说话的当儿，两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。这么多广告，我们可怎么办?” “你让孩子们快干，”我指示说。“他们都是大学生了。他们自己的事得由他们自己去做。” 第二天中午，我回到旅馆，看到一份紧急留言，要我马上给妻子回电话。她的声音高得很不自然，而且有些颤抖。家里又运到了好几卡车的广告插页。“有百货公司的，廉价商店的，杂货店的，食品店的，汽车行的，等等。有些像整本杂志那么厚。我们这里有数十万页，说不定是几百万页的广告!我们家整个房子从东墙到西墙，从南墙到北墙统统堆满了广告，一堆又一堆，比你大儿子还要高。现在只剩下一点点空间，刚够一个人走进去，从十一种插页中各取一份，卷在一起，套上橡皮筋，再塞进一只塑料袋内。我们的塑料袋足够供应全美所有的外卖餐厅!”她越讲声音越响，几乎震耳欲聋。“这么多的广告必须在星期日早晨七点以前统统送出去。”

大学英语视听说2Unit5听力原文

Unit5 Ⅰ.Lead-in 1.People keep pets for a variety of reasons. Some feel lonely and need company. Other people keep pets for security. Still others buy pets just to be in fashion. Finally, some people keep animals at home just out of love or pity. Their hearts are full of love, which pours out naturally for animals as well as humans. 2.Most people prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are. Also, dogs are more intelligent than cats. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. However, I wouldn't go as far as to claim that cats are worthless. Thanks to their soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, they are often ladies' favorites. 3.It's hard to arrive at a conclusion on this question. It is obvious that if a pet like a cat is kept in the apartment without much chance of going out, it looks sad and inactive. Without proper physical exercise and enough exposure to the sun, it tends to become weak. However, they also have their compensation. In a human household pets are normally well fed. I should like to point out that a pet's intelligence is also an important factor. A dog or a cat may be intelligent enough to feel lonely, but I doubt whether less intelligent animals like a tortoise or fish can feel the difference between the human home and the wild or whether they can develop a feeling of loneliness, sadness or homesickness. In any case, a human home can provide them with better living conditions. 4.In my opinion, it is all right for us to eat meat such as pork, beef and chicken. To explain this, let me quote from the movie "The Lion King". The father lion tells his son that it is all right for them to eat the antelope: "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." In the case of dog meat, people's opinions seem to vary. I think with the progress of human civilization and improvement of the living standards, we should discard the habit of eating dogs, since they are so intelligent and so loyal to us. Ⅲ.Listening In Task1:Dogs aren't allowed here! Manager: I'm sorry, Miss, but dogs aren't allowed in this theater. Mary: But I have a ticket for him. Manager: I'm very sorry, but animals aren't permitted. Mary: You don't understand. This is a special case. My dog is so well-trained and so intelligent that he's almost human. Manager: I see that you have an exceptional animal, but... Mary: I promise you that if there is any problem we'll leave the theater immediately. I promise you that this dog isn't like any other dog you've ever seen. Manager: Well... all right. I'll let you go in, since the theater is almost empty tonight. But your dog will have to behave himself, or you will have to leave. Mary: Thank you very much. Task2:Put the cat out!

Unit 3 II. Basic Listening Practice 1.Script W: Chinese students are often too shy to say anything in class. M: I think they don’t speak because their culture values modesty，and they don’t want to be showing off. Goes back to Confucius. Q: Why don’t Chinese students say in class according to the man? C) They are modest. W：中国学生往往羞于说话在课上。 M：我想他们不说话是因为他们的文化价值观的谦虚，他们不想炫耀。回归到孔子。 问：为什么没有中国学生在课堂上说话？ C）他们是温和的。 2.Script W: The government is doing something at last about sex discrimination in the work place.

Q: What does the man say about the women? A) They earn less than men. W：政府现在在做的事情，工作场所的性别歧视。女人的付出男人一样。 M：是的。在美国，同样的工作妇女的工资只有男性的百分之70。这一情况已经有所改变。 问：什么人说的女人？ 一）他们的收入比男性少。 3. Script W: I admire Michael Dell. He had a dream to be the world’s largest manufacture of personal computers, and he has realized that dream. M: And he dropped out of university to become a success. I wonder if there is a lesson in that. Q: What do we learn about Michael Dell from the dialog? D) He succeeded in his career though he did not complete his education.

I probably won’t get accepted there.
