1) At Simply Sofabeds at Notting Hill Gate we're lowering our prices—for Christmas. Masses of sofa beds for immediate delivery. We're open six days a week, with viewing on Sunday. So celebrate Christmas early this year with a Simply Sofabeds sofa bed at a price that's right. Simply Sofabeds!

2) Could there really be a woman's magazine that's different? Yes. It's called Prima. It's packed with news, opinion, fashion and once again there's a free giant pull-out section with clothes to make, crafts to create, beautiful sweaters to knit. Get your second, value-packed issue of Prima!

3) Car Buyer magazine. Every Thursday. It gives you a choice of more new and used cars than all of your local papers put together—and for less. Car Buyer for car buyers. At your newsagent's now.

4) Girls! Sensitive skin really does need more sensitive care. And I take special care of my sensitive skin with Cuticura soap. Because Cuticura soap contains a medicated ingredient which cleans your skin without leaving it dry or tight. Cuticura medicated soap. From chemists everywhere.

5) Hello. This is Bob Harris inviting you to join me this Friday and every Friday evening for the LBC "Pop Review". I play the best of the recent releases, review the British and the American charts, play classic music by the big stars and new tracks by the names of tomorrow. So it's a real mix of different styles and I'm sure you'll love the music. I'd certainly love to have your company. This Friday evening at half past nine. Right here on LBC.

Task 2

【答案】

A.

【原文】

When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of these three things.

You can use no suntan oil. You can use an ordinary suntan oil. Or you can use Bergasol.

If you don't use any suntan oil at all when you're in the sun that is stronger than you're used to, you will bum surprisingly quickly.

If you use an ordinary suntan oil you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree. How much depends on the "protection-factor number" on the bottle. Some of these oils block out so many of the sun's rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning—but you won't go very brown, either.

Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary suntan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator which comes from the oil of the bergamot fruit.

It speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin.

And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown color.

So when you use Bergasol suntan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more and more obvious.

Unfortunately this special formula isn't cheap. So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary suntan oil.

However the price looks more attractive as you do.

【原文】

The insane laughter faded away behind me. To one side of the clearing sat a deserted house, as derelict and forgotten as the people who once lived there.

The door opened, and I was in the front room, a room so dark I felt I could reach out and run my fingers through its inky stillness.

From outside the window came the sounds of the night. Owls. Crickets. And from across the room.., drip, drip, drip.

My eyes, adjusting to the light, made out what appeared to be a coat hanging from a hat rack, but as the haze dissolved I saw that from the neck of the coat stared the lifeless face of Kuperman, his eyes frozen in horror. A shrieking laugh, as inescapable as a nightmare, rang out around me.

My heart, already shaking in the cage of my chest, exploded as a hand fell upon my shoulder.

"So how do you like the Mitsubishi Home Theater's surround sound?" asked the sales guy.

"Uhh, great." I said, as I stumbled to the door of the showroom for a breath of fresh air.

Task 4

TV Advertisements in Britain

TV Programmes in Britain

【原文】

Bob: You are not still watching television, are you?

Andre: Yes, I am. I enjoy it. The camera work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er... do you know the history of television in Britain?

Bob: Oh, television came to Britain in the year 1936.

Andre: Ah!

Bob: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during the Second World War. It was started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organization responsible for it.

Andre: What do the initials BBC stand for?

Bob: The British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled by the government, but it's not a private company either. That means that the government can't use the BBC for propaganda purposes, and nor can private individuals or firms.

Andre: Is advertising allowed on the BBC?

Bob: No, though some satellite channels get more autonomy. ITV gets its money from advertising, though.

Andre: ITV?

Bob: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954—again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.

Andre: Why does everything start in London?

Bob: Well... it's the capital after all—and the largest centre of population. If you start up a public service—like TV—there, it gets to as many people as possible to start with.

Andre: What do people think of the advertisements on television?

Bob: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television can pay its way—ITV gets all its money from advertisements.

Andre: What about the BBC?

Bob: You have to buy a TV license and that money goes to the BBC. A lot of people don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too.

On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an insult to their intelligence.

Andre: Mm. The advertisements are very subtle, then?

Bob: Well... some aren't, anyway. Lots of people go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea when the adverts are on... or take their dog for a walk.

Andre: I see. What do you think of your television programmes? Do you like watching them? The programme we've just seen was okay, but what about television in general?

Bob: Well, you know how you foreigners say our policemen are wonderful? It's... Andre: Do they? I didn't know they did.

Bob: American tourists are supposed to say that, anyway. Well, as I was going to say, people from overseas are supposed to say that sort of thing about our television as well. Personally, I think the BBC has invented that story. There are some pretty awful programmes on TV, but some are quite good.

Andre: What sort of things do you watch yourself?

Bob: I watch mainly news programmes. And I like old films, too.

Andre: Old films? I don't see how you can criticize television if you just watch old films.

You might just as well go to the cinema.

Bob: Oh—not on your life, the cinema costs money. Besides, it's a lot more trouble going out than staying at home. And I like old films, not new ones. There are a lot of other people like me, too.

Andre: Mm, reasonable enough, I suppose.

Bob: And it's not just films that people would rather watch on TV. Fewer people go to football matches nowadays, for instance. They prefer to watch them on TV. Andre: Surely it's not as good on television as it is in real life?

Bob: Oh, you lose a bit of the atmosphere, of course, and you don't feel part of the occasion in the same way as you do when you're actually there. But you get a much better view of the game on television, and you don't have to move from your armchair.

Andre: Ah... well, thank you very much. What's on next?

Bob: Oh, my goodness. Some people don't ever do anything but watch television and ask questions!

higher position, find a job fro herself, became the person advertising jobs for others

C.

frowned, was amazed, was more alarmed and seriously worried

【原文】

Cecilia was reading the details of a job that was being advertised.

"Applications are invited for the post of Personal Assistant to the Manager of this large London export firm. Candidates should be experienced in all branches of office work and should be qualified in shorthand and typewriting. The successful candidate must be prepared to work alone and will be expected to travel.

"The person appointed will be asked to join the company's insurance scheme and will be permitted to use a company car. Three weeks' annual paid holiday will be allowed. Salary will be calculated according to experience.

"Application forms may be obtained from the address below and should be returned within three weeks. An interview will be held in London and candidates will be called for interview before the end of this month. Travel expenses for candidates coming from outside London can be claimed at the time of interview."

Jason arrived home and looked over Cecilia's shoulder. "I heard today," she said, with a sigh, "that certain changes are going to be made in the office and that some of us are going to be moved. And since we might be put anywhere, I thought I'd find out what jobs were being publicized."

The following evening when Jason came home he found Cecilia sitting at the table which was covered with papers advertising many different jobs. Over her shoulder he read:

"An assistant editor will be required in September. Applicants should be experienced and prepared to work late hours. A good salary will be paid monthly into a bank for the right candidate. The successful applicant will be appointed for two years in the first case. Application forms, which should be sent in before July 31st, may be obtained from the address below."

Jason frowned and turned to the next advertisement, which read:

"Temporary typists will be needed during the next six months for several departments. Applicants should be trained and qualified. Inexperienced typists may be appointed but must be prepared to be trained. Application forms, obtainable from the address below, should be filled in by each applicant in her own handwriting and returned before July 31st. All applicants will be interviewed..."

Amazed, Jason glanced from paper to paper, becoming more alarmed as he read:

"Daily cleaners will be required…lunches may be provided…candidates will be expected to pass a medical examination…salary will be paid weekly…ladders and other equipment will be provided…applications should be received before J uly 31st..."

Seriously worded now, Jason sat down. "You don't really need to think about so

many jobs, do you?"

Cecilia turned to him. "I told you some of us were going to be moved," she said. "I've been put in a new office at a higher salary and now I'm the one who writes out the details for all the jobs that are going to be advertised. It's fun."

Task 6

【答案】

A. 1) d) 2) d) 3) b) 4) d)

B. 1) F 2) T 3) T

C. insulted, intimidated, victim, patient, please, this treatment, be attacked and robbed, using force, badly, hurt her deeply, a university degree, a well paid job, the best car in the street, money in my pocket, his children and their mother, abused his position, badly, smart, change his ways, lose his family's love

【原文】

About four years ago I was attacked on the street, knocked down and my bag stolen. All my friends and family were very sympathetic and helped me go to the police to report it. Now I am a victim again, but this time it is my husband who is assaulting me—hitting, insulting and intimidating me. Yet my family doesn't see me as a victim now. They say if I was more patient and tried harder to please my husband he wouldn't beat me. But I don't think I deserve this treatment—just like I didn't deserve to be attacked and robbed.

Physical assault is a crime whether it happens in the home or on the street. Build family respect and harmony; speak out against domestic violence.

I might have a university degree, a well paid job, the best car in the street and money in my pocket—but I don't have what I value most in life—my children and their mother. I was a fool to think that by using force I could control those I loved. I admit I treated her badly and hurt her deeply. I thought that the children didn't know what was happening, but of course they did. Children can sense unhappiness in their mother.

Now when I look back on it, I realize that a home which has violence and disrespect scares away love and happiness. Domestic violence causes family destruction.

It was so hard coming to a new country, with a new life, and everything so different.

I felt like everything was out of my control. Except in my home and family—at least there I could be boss. But I abused my position as head of the household and treated my wife badly. My wife—she's pretty smart—she got some information about the Australian law which says what I am doing is illegal.

Jeez, I don't want to end up in the court system with the police on my back! No way! I've got my kids to think about. I'm going to change my ways—before it's too late and I lose my family's love.

Love builds harmony in the family. Domestic violence destroys everything.

Task 7

A. 1) d) 2) a) 3) d)

B. 1) F 2) F 3) T 4) T

C. self, yourself, consecutive, accomplishment, on, off, effective, patterns, marketable skills, accomplishments

D.

1) This is a statement about your personality rather than your skill areas.

2) You should not apologize in your resume.

3) This information about your educational background is better not mentioned, since it is not a strong point.

4) The positive side of this experience is not adequately explored.

5) This statement is not specific about your strong points.

【原文】

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar “tombstone” that lists where you went to school and where you’ve worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the “functional” resume—descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview.

It’s handy to have a “tombstone” for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequested “tombstone” lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead.

What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read—a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers.

Put yourself first. In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.

Sell what you can do, not who you are. Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work.

Toot your own horn! Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities. Some think they have none at all! But everyone does. And one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch—if only you show it.

Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!

Turn bad news into good. Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.

Never apologize. If you’ve returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph (summary of background) in place of a chronology of experie nce. Don’t apologize for working at being a mother; it’s the hardest job of all. If you have no special training or higher education, just don’t mention education.

现代大学英语听力3原文及答案

Unit 1 Task 1 【答案】 A. unusual, whatever, escape, traditions, present, grey, moulded, shape, here B. 1) Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. 2) When people went anywhere on a visit, the pretty English girls all kissed them. 3) Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, and Newton (or Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc.) 【原文】 My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions---and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the past, the present and even the future. It’s easy to see in the old grey stone buildings how the past moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this university town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University began, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. Of course there were no colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. They were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually the idea of the college developed, and in 1284, Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded. Life in college was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very scarce and all the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King’s College, and the other colleges followed. Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, was at one of these, Queens’ College, from 1511 to 1513, and though he wrote that the college beer was “weak and badly made”, he also mentioned a pleasant custom that unfor tunately seems to have ceased. “The English girls are extremely pretty,” Erasmus said, “soft, pleasant, gentle, and charming. When you go anywhere on a visit the girls all kiss you. They kiss you when you arrive. They kiss you when you go away and again when you return.” Many other great men studied at Cambridge, among them Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron and Tennyson. Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a) 4) c) B. 1) They usually wear black gowns—long gowns that hang down to the feet are for graduates, and shorter ones for undergraduates. 2) Women students do not play a very active part in university life at Cambridge, but they work harder than men. C. 1) meadows, green, peaceful, bending into, intervals, deep coloured, reflection, contrasts, lawns 2) peace, scholarship, peace, suggest, stretches, charmingly cool, graceful 【原文】 Now let me give you some idea of what you would see if you were to talk around Cambridge. Let us imagine that I am seeing the sights for the first time. It is a quite market town and the shopping centre extends for quite a large area, but I notice more bookshops than one normally sees in country towns, and more tailors’ shops showing in their windows the black gowns that students must wear—long gowns that hang down to the feet for graduates and shorter

I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1.
