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…and 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?

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.

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: I'm scared, Dean. She works for Newsline.

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 though t I did! The tape was moving.

Tony: You probably just pressed "play".

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.

Nick: And I wish you would stop kicking yourself

Talia: Well, I’m supposed to be a professional! And I wa nt to be a reporter!

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 par t of all of this is that I let you down.

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.

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.

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, N ick 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.

Dean: 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 all o f this.

Nick: Thanks, Coach.

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.

B: Not the way I tell it.

Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

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
