Part 1

Keith ：I saw Robin Williams come to the patio. I made the run, jumped a couple of sawhorses, climbed up a stairway, got in front of him, and said, “Robin, do you mind if I take a

picture?” He goes, “After all that, how could I stop you?”

V/O (画外音)

Keith Sykes has a long career in journalism, photography, and communications.

Keith ：I’ve taken pictures of a lot of celebrities. Cindy Crawford. I’ve taken her picture a

few times and, I, I think it’s impossible to take a bad picture of her. James Garner. I’ve photographed famous politicians. I stood in the same position for two hours to get this picture. Photographing these people is uh, an exciting thing for me. When I moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to become editor of a weekly newspaper out there, I was really excited when I started getting these invitations to come to this award show, or this benefit show. I was showing up at all these event sand seeing people that I had seen on the screen and it was, uh, really, uh, a magical moment for me.

Part 2

Keith ：The word paparazzi means “the pest” in Italian. Fellini dubbed a character who played a pesky photographer in La Dolce Vita “Paparazzo”. The roots of paparazzi photography were in Europe after World War II. The countries were all subject to many political factions who were deciding what direction their countries would go. This created awesome political rivalries. And photographers would cover political events, knowing that they would probably turn into violent protest s and they’d get newsworthy pictures and be able to sell them. Now at the same time, more and more celebrities were going to the Mediterranean, to Monte Carlo … And these photographers, who had started as political photographers, took pictures of the celeb rities and their … those celebrities’ wild lives. There are financial rewards. If I got a photograph of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt holding hands, then I’d be paid maybe $10,000. If I shot Jennifer and Brad throwing drinks at each other, I would get $50,000. How much a photograph is worth is often determined by how negative it portrays that celebrity. When, uh, Princess Diana died, I started thinking. I had realized that the business had gone bad, that it was being motivated by money, that it was creating not artists, or even well-meaning photographers who wanted to pursue this craft, but rather, really bounty hunters.

Part 3

Keith ：I decided to use the small college town of North Hampton and go up there every Saturday night, and I put on the full uniform, photo vest, and press IDs, and I would lurk in doorways and follow people and jump out in front of them and take their picture. I’ve, you know, walked up with my camera behind me and then just pulled it out and shot it with the flash. We wanted to know what it felt like – as an everyday person, how do you like the idea that someone can take pictures of you on the street? And almost universally, people feel you shouldn’t have the right to invade their privacy. I think, as consumers of the media, we at least have to look at ourselves occasionally

and evaluate what it is we’re consuming. Because whatever we’re consuming, we’re encouraging to spread.

Phil ：Hello.

Tony ：Hello, is that Phil Taylor?

Phil ：Speaking.

Tony ：Hi, Phil, my name’s Tony, and I’m a reporter for SUN.

Phil ：The uni paper! I suppose you want to talk to me about the fire.

Tony ：Yes, if it’s OK with you. We’d like to do a piece on the fire for next week’s paper. Can you tell people how it happened?

Phil ：Yeah, OK, it probably is a good idea.

Tony ：So when can I come and see you?

Phil ：Um … Wednesday afternoon? Three o’clock? I’m in South Block, Room 18.

Tony ：OK, I’ll be there.

…

Tony ：OK, so let’s get started. When did the fire happen?

Phil ：Two days ago.

Tony ：November the 10th. OK, so tell me how it happened.

Phil ：Um … It was about 11 pm. I decided to fry some chips, I used quite a lot of oil – I was deep-frying. Um … And I put the chips in. And then my girlfriend rang.

Tony ：OK.

Phil ：We’d had a quarrel, and I was pretty upset, so we started talking, and I completely forgot about the chips and went back to my room.

Tony ：You fool!

Phil ：Thanks. We talked for a quite long time. Next thing I knew, there was this smell of smoke, and someone was shouting, “Fire! Fire!” And I realized immediately of course, it was my chips! And I rushed out of my room – the kitchen was next door –and … well … there were flames all over one wall.

Tony ：And it was all your fault!

Phil ：It was. But people were in the kitchen throwing blankets over the flames, and someone had already called the fire brigade and they came – in ten minutes I think – and put it out very quickly.

Tony ：So what was the damage?

Phil ：They’re gonna to have to replace the cooker, two kitc hen units, repaint one wall.

Tony ：Sounds pretty bad.

Phil ：It could have been a lot worse.

Tony ：Can I take a photo of you for the paper?

Phil ：Do you have to? Oh, OK.

Tony ：Thanks. It’ll be front page news.

Phil ：Oh dear! Haven’t you got anything e lse to write about?

Tony ：Not this week. There’s not much happening on campus. I’m joking. You’re on Page 2. Phil ：Thanks!

Passage 2

Presenter：Today’s discussion is about reality TV programmes, the programmes loved by millions and hated by just as many. We have three people on our panel –Tricia a student at

Liverpool University, Rick from Luton, and Karen who is a full-time mum.

Panel ：Hello.

Presenter：So let’s begin with a very obvious question. Do you watch reality TV programmes and if so, why?

Tricia ：Yes, I do, I love them, I’m addicted to them, I’m afraid.

Presenter ：Addicted to them?

Tricia ：Yes, I think all my friends are really. I guess it’s just, you know, fascinating to watch real people put under a bit of pressure and then see how they behave.

Presenter ：That doesn’t sound very nice exactly.

Tricia ：No, it isn’t. But reality TV isn’t very nice actually.

Presenter ：Karen, how about you?

Karen ：Yes, well I watch them but I’m not like Tricia. I’m definitely not addicted to them.

I can take them or leave them. But I do like to watch property programmes.

Presenter ：Property programmes?

Karen ：You can learn a lot from them. And it’s –it’s great to see real people buying a property and then doing it up, the mistakes they make, that kind of thing. And yes, you know,

there’s the human interest factor as well.

Presenter ：Rick –

Rick ：I can’t stand reality TV. I mean, OK, if it’s a property programme or a gardening programme, fine, but most of them are just –they’re set up to humiliate pe ople.

Tricia ：Not always.

Rick ：I disagree. People are on show. It’s like watching animals in a zoo. I mean, would you appear on a reality show?

Tricia ：Maybe. I don’t know. Probably not.

Rick ：There you are you see? You don’t want to be humiliated.

Karen ：Some people do very well on reality shows. They win a lot of money.

Rick ：OK, that’s true, but –standards on reality shows can be pretty low, you can’t deny it. Presenter ：Tricia, what have you got to say to that?

Tricia ：Well, it’s true, yes.

Karen ：I agree with Rick.

Presenter ：So, next question …

Unit 5 The world at war

Outside view

On the 25th of April each year, Australia and New Zealand celebrates Anzac Day, when they commemorate all the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who died in action during the First and Second World Wars, and in every armed conflict since then. We’re here now at the Australian War Memorial at the start of the dawn service.

They shall grow not old

As we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

A verse from the poem, Ode to Remembrance by Laurence Binyon, is recited during the ceremony.

Inside the Hall of Memory is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This is the grave of a solider whose identity is not known and it represents all those soldiers who died in battle but were

not identified.

Twenty-four years after the ravages of World War I, war came to the mainland of Australia where air raids killed hundreds of service personnel and civilians. In Malaysia, Korea and Vietnam, we answered the call as we have in Afghanistan and Iraq. Through it all the one unshakable truth has been a steadfastness, born of the traditions of th e Australian servicemen. Today, Australia’s special day, they remember in East Timor, on Bourgainville, in Afghanistan and Iraq, on the island of Crete, at Gallipoli, they along with us, remember.

Anzac Day is a public holiday in Australia. It is one of the most important national days of the year and certainly the most solemn one. Commemoration services are held in all the so he built a huge wall across China to stop major cities in Australia and huge crowds them. Hundreds of thousands of men died attend to pay their respects to those who died. Servicemen and women from all the armed services in Australia march in procession.

They fought in the Second World War and other conflicts since then that have happened around the world. The men in the trucks are all wearing decorations. They’re veterans from the Second World War, and perhaps a few last survivors from the First World War. After the Parade the veterans will gather in a pub or club to talk and share memories. This veteran fought in the Second World War in Western Australia.

Interviewer: And what does Anzac Day mean to you?

Veteran：Well, it means remembering not only those who didn’t go home but the, the fact that you keep in touch with a lot of your … friends.

Passage 1

There are ma ny war novels but the novel I’m going to talk about today is unusual because it’s war seen through the eyes of a child. The “eyes” are those of J G Ballard, one of Britain’s most respected novelists.

Let’s begin with some information about Ballard. He wa s born in 1930, in Shanghai, where his father was a businessman, and he was only 11 years old when the city was occupied during World War II. Ballard and his family were placed in a prison camp and he has said that his experiences there affected him so deeply that it was 40 years before he felt able to write about them. “Twenty years to forget and 20 years to remember.”

The result of Ballard’s experiences was a semi-autobiographical novel called Empire of the Sun, published in 1984. It quickly became a success and in 1987 it was made into a movie by Hollywood director, Steven Spielberg.

Let’s move on to the novel itself. Empire of the Sun tells the story of how a young boy, Jim Graham, survives the Japanese occupation. Interestingly, Jim is J G Ballard’s f irst name and his second name is Graham. Also, Jim is the same age as Ballard – 11 – when the occupation begins.

At the start of the story, Jim is living with his parents in a wealthy part of Shanghai. When the invasion begins, many of Shanghai’s inhabitants flee from the city and Jim’s parents do the same. But the boy becomes separated from them and finds himself all alone. He goes back to their empty home and lives alone there. Inevitably, he’s found and then he’s sent to a prison camp.

It’s a terr ible four years, but the boy somehow survives. He steals food, finds ways of getting in and out of the camp, and is befriended by some Americans and a Japanese boy.

Is there a happy ending? Yes and no. Jim sees many people die; his Japanese friend is killed by the Americans. But at the end of the war, he gets back to Shanghai and is reunited with his parents.

Jim’s experiences are terrible, as a child who discovers the depths of human cruelty. But he learns also about the strength and courage that is possible, even in these circumstances.

Both the great power and the truth of the novel come from the fact that it’s based on the author’s own experiences. The general opinion of critics is that Empire of the Sun is one of the best war novels ever written – so read it, it’s worth it.

Passage 2

Host：On Women’s World today, we look at women’s role in the Second World War and the important part they played in it. In the First World War, women had worked in factories and as nurses, both at home and at the front. In the Second World War, women were even more essential to the war effort. Doris Watts was just 18 when the war began and Mavis Grey was only 20.

Host：Do you remember how you felt, Doris, the day the war was declared?

Doris：Oh yes … of course I do. I felt frightened of course, but we had known it would happen.

The first thing, more than anything I think, that I felt was … was that I wanted to do something! You know, do something useful, so I joined the Land Girls.

Host：Ah, yes, the Women’s Land Army. That was an organization started in the First World War Women worked in agriculture as the men were away fighting. Did you enjoy the experience?

Doris：Not really. It was very hard work, very physical. You never saw anybody except the officer coming to inspect your work. So when I heard about the WAAF I signed up.

Host：That’s the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. WAAF, for short. So why the WAAF?

Doris：I’d always thought planes were very exciting. And it’s silly but I liked the light blue uniforms.

Host：That’s a good enough reason! Now, Mavis, you w ere in the W AAF at the same time as Doris. Can you tell us more about it?

Mavis：Yes. Organizations like the WAAF were a way for women to join the armed forces, since they weren’t allowed to fight. Instead, the army, the navy and the air force all had support services, which women could join.

Host：And Doris. What kind of things did you have to do?

Doris：Oh, well, a lot of different things. I worked in transport and catering. We were very young but we were given a lot of responsibility.

Host：And what did you do, Mavis?

Mavis：Various jobs but eventually I worked on a ighter station, tracking the German bombers as they flew towards London. It was very exciting.

Host：Was it ever dangerous?

Doris：Yes, we were always in danger of being bombed. They tell me that over 1,500 young women lost their lives. I was lucky.

Host：And what about social life?

Mavis：We did have some wonderful parties. And of course I met my husband, Eric. He was an electrician at the station.

Host：One last question, Doris. Do yo u think women’s work in the forces changed things for women?

Doris：Without a doubt. Oh absolutely! After the war the position of women could never be the same again –we’d contributed so much.

Host：Doris and Mavis, thank you both.

Unit 6 Sporting life

Outside view

Interviewer: OK then Graham, I wonder if first off you could explain a little bit of the history of Tae Kwon Do.

Teacher：Tae Kwon Do originated er … about 3,000 years ago in Korea. It’s in the

present form we train and teach now is formulated in 1955 by a Korean general. He

was asked to put a self-defence together for the Korean army. This is how we teach it

now, but it’s got origins going back thousands of years throughout Asia and of course

obviously throughout Korea.

Interviewer: So how does it, I mean, how does it differ to, say, other martial arts?

Teacher：Tae Kwon Do is basically the hand and foot martial art. It’s a self-defence martial art as

I said, originated for the Korean martial art for the army. It’s legs and hands, Tae means

to kick, Kwon means to punch and Do means a way, or method.

Interviewer: OK. So I can see over your shoulder there how it’s a pretty popular class, what kind of mixture of people do you get coming along?

Teacher：Luckily we get all sorts, that’s the aim of the class, it’s open to everyone, we take any flexibility level, any age, any fitness level, and we guarantee to improve flexibility and

fitness and also have a good time. We’re also teaching a traditional martial art as well,

so it’s a fun aspect but with tradition mixed in as well.

Interviewer: So how long have you been in this sport yourself?

Teacher：Six years, and I’m a second Dan instructor now.

Interviewer: What got you into it in the first place?

Teacher：I’ve always wanted to do martial art, I lacked a little bit of self-confidence I must admit, and my wife’s uncle was a black belt and I went a long and watched, and thought, yeah

I could do that. You know, I had no experience of it at all, and I’ve never looked back. Interviewer: So what do you think people in general get out of it?

Teacher: Well hopefully, it’s fun, as well as learning something. As I said it’s a traditional martial

art as well, so we teach tradition in our line work, in our patterns … go back thousands

of years, also the fun aspects, as I said fitness, flexibility, making new friends, getting

out, beating the stresses of every day, daily life. I mean there’s nothing better than

coming into a class and smacking a pad, you know, releasing the stresses of daily life,

so hopefully they get quite a bit out of it.

Interviewer: OK, two things actually, whereabouts do you hold your classes and if people were interested in taking up how would they go about finding out?

Teacher: OK, the Bytomic group, they run 26 Tae Kwon Do classes in around the southeast. The easiest way of finding out is look on the website which is www. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/4d8707176.html, or alternatively you can ring the office which is 01844 281 888. All the information is on the website or speak to the office. Local clubs are Long Crendon here on a Tuesday and Thursday, Aylesbury on Sundays and Tuesdays and Princes Risborough on a Monday and a Wednesday evening.

Interviewer: OK, well thank you very much for your time Graham, cheers very much, very interesting, we’ll give it a go.

Teacher: Thank you very much for your day. Anytime Chris, come along, for a free lesson!

Passage 1

Speaker 1:

And David Seaman is in goal for the England team down to our right … it’s difficult to get used to the change of team colours here … I’m looking at the white shorts and thinking they’re English players, but they’re not. For this match it’s the Germans who are wearing white. I hope the English players don’t have the same problem, we don’t want them to pass the ball to the Germans. Now Gascoigne for England passes to McManaman for the first time … McManaman is immediately surroun ded by three German defenders … he brings the ball to the near side of the pitch … still McManaman for England, crosses the ball to Pearce … Pearce takes a shot! … saved by the German Ziegler, and picked up by Ince only 25 yards away from the German goal … good effort by Ince, aims at the goal! … and Kopke, the German goalkeeper pushes the ball over the top of the goal. So a corner kick for England.

Speaker 2

A great shot by Ince, I’m sure he knows that Pearce set that up for him, but Kopke put the shot out of danger.

Speaker 1

He does like to punch the ball, that Kopke in the German goal … England’s first corner of this semi-final … Gascoigne will take it …

Here comes the corner kick from Gascoigne … and Shearer’s there and Alan Shearer scores for En gland … England have scored after only two minutes’ play … with a corner kick by Gascoigne … aimed at the near post, and Alan Shearer heads the ball into the German goal … It’s an absolute dream start for the semi-final … Shearer has got his fifth goal of the tournament … Would you believe it? It’s England one, Germany nil!

Passage 2

Matt ：Now it’s time for Critic’s Choice, with news and reviews about the latest films. Good evening, Jack, seen anything good at the cinema this week?

Jack ：Good evening Ma tt, yes, I’ve seen one of the best sports films of recent years.

Matt ：Sports films? That’s not usually a type of film which appeals to you.

Jack ：You’re right, but this time it’s different. I’ve been to see a film about mountain climbing, it’s not really your typical sports film. It’s more man against the mountain.

Matt ：Tell us more.

Jack ：I’ve been to see Touching the V oid, which is the story of a pair of mountain climbers in the Peruvian Andes.

Matt ：Is it a true story?

Jack ：Yes, it is. In 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the 7,000-metre Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates were young, fit and confident they would succeed.

Matt ：So what happens?

Jack ：Simpson and Yates’ style of climbing involved movi ng quickly up a mountain with very few supplies and no base camps, which is risky. You can’t make any mistakes.

Matt ：I think I can guess what happens next.

Jack ：And sure enough after climbing well for three and a half days, disaster strikes. Simpson falls and breaks his right leg. With no food or water, the climbers know they have to get

off the mountain – fast. Yates is determined to find a way to get his friend home, and he has to lower Simpson down the mountain. Simpson is in agony, but Yates has no choice except to ignore his partner’s cries of pain because otherwise he’ll die. Well, for a while, t hings go well. But suddenly Simpson, at the end of the rope, fails to respond to Yates’ signal. Yates is unable to move any further and has no idea why Simpson is not responding. So Yates holds on with all of his strength, all too aware that eventually his strength would give out and both would fall. But what Yates doesn’t know is that he has lowered Simpson over the edge of a crevasse. Simpson is hanging in mid-air from the vertical face of the mountain. He’s unable to climb back up the rope and he’s got frostbitten fingers and can’t communicate with Yates above him.

Matt ：So what happens?

Jack ：Well, I don’t want to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

Matt ：But …

Jack ：But Yates hangs onto the rope for an hour, getting weaker. For any climber, cutting

the rope that binds him to his partner is unthinkable.

Matt ：Sounds very exciting. So what about the direction and the filming?

Jack ：The director is Kevin Macdonald, and he tells the story by cutting from interviews to shots of the climb itself. But it’s the message of the film which interests me. You s ee, in the end, the impression left by the film is astonishment that a human being could do what Joe did, which is to survive.

Matt ：Thanks Jack, this week’s Critic’s Choice is Touching the Void, on general release in all cinemas from next week.

Part 1

Presenter:Once upon a time, Louis, a long, long, long time ago, your great-great-great-great grandad was a wolf. Go on, go on … Today’s Wild, your weekly wildlife show around Oxfordshire, is all about the ancestors o f all domestic dogs, the wolf. And if you’re really lucky, you might have one coming soon to a school near you. …

Presenter ：So are you looking forward to seeing the wolves today?

Kids ：Yeah!!!

Presenter ：Are you? Are you excited?

Kids ：Yeah!!!

Presenter ：Do you like … no-one … anyone scared of wolves?

Kids ：Yeah!! No …!!

Presenter: …the one at the back … come here then and talk to me for a minute … Are you scared of the wolf then? What do you think of dogs? Are you scared of dogs as well or is just the wolf?

Girl ：Just the wolf.

Presenter: Just the wolf. OK, so we’ll see what you think afterwards. What’s your name?

Girl ：Amy.

Presenter: OK, Amy. Well, I think we’re going to go into the hall in a minute, so we’ll go and … Child ：Are we going to see the wolves?

Child ：Can we hold them?

Child ：Are we allowed to stroke them?

Man ：I’ll show you where we’re going to be.

Presenter ：Yeah, great. Can we stroke them? Yeah, I think we can.

Part 2

Roger: Good morning. I’ll now ask you to stay really quiet. Although these wolves are used to going into schools like this, they’re still quite shy and any sudden noise … and they wouldn’t be very happy. As your headteacher said, my name’s Roger and we’re from the UK Wolf Conservation Trust which is half way from a big town just a bit west of here called Reading, half way between Reading and Newbury. And we call these animals our living ambassadors for education and conservation. I’m quite happy to take any questions you may have, if you want to ask about what they eat, if you want to ask about how long they live, if you want to ask anything that comes to your mind. So put your hand up if you want to ask a question. Yes, at the back there. Boy ：How long do they live?

Roger ：In captivity? Well we pander to every whim that the wolf has, we feed them every day, we look after them with real care. They can live to be at least 16 years old and there are cases of a wolf living to be … 20 or just over.

Boy ：How fast can wolves run?

Roger: How fast can wolves run? Well, they’re not like a cheetah, which can outrun its prey, by getting up to 60, 70 miles an hour over very short distances. Wolves have evolved to be like a hound, so they can run fairly fast, about 40 miles an hour for three or four miles. And then they’ve used up all their energy. And in the wild, only about one in ten hunts is successful.

Boy ：Um … Are you allowed to keep t hem for pets?

Roger: They … you can’t keep them literally as a pet. Because although they look … like … cuddly lapdogs, they’re not. These are what we call a socialized wild animal which means that we hand-rear them from about seven days old. They have that all-important first week of special milk from their mother and then they’re still blind and deaf so the first thing they may see and hear is a human bottle-feeding them. And by doing that, they grow up to be really friendly, but as I said at the outset, they may look like pets –they’re not. These are wild animals which have learnt to like people. So if you had them in your house, in a very short time, they … and they’ve done it in our house in years gone by, they will either eat holes in your sofa, the y’ll tear down your curtains, pull up your carpets. They’re not animals you want to have loose in the house after all.

Part 3

Roger: We have … form a queue … about there. Say hello. She wants to meet you … You

see how she spread her legs for … She really likes it a lot. Underneath. That’s it. That’s what she likes. You can rub hard. You see how soft and thick her coat is.

…

Presenter：What was your name?

Girl ：Amy.

Presenter ：And you’re …?

Girl ：Grace.

Presenter ：Grace. OK. Now Amy, you were very f rightened of the wolf weren’t you? When we started. What did you think … what d’you think now?

Amy ：They won’t bite.

Presenter ：They what?

Amy ：They won’t bite.

Presenter ：They won’t bite. So d’you like them? … So you’re not too frightened anymore.

What did you think when you stroked the wolf?

Amy ：I liked it.

Presenter ：You liked it? Did you? Do they seem a bit like dogs really?

Presenter ：They are cuddly?

Presenter ：And you’re not frightened anymore of the wolves? Roger, you’ve done a good job here! … And what do you think?

Grace ：They’re cute, they’re fluffy …

Presenter ：Fluffy?

Grace ：And … er … cuddly.

Passage 1

It’s hard to believe but in America there ar e 68 million dog owners and 73 million cat owners. In the UK, which has a human population of 61 million, there are 6.8 million dogs and 9.58 million cats.

All over the developed world, the pet population is increasing. At the same time, people are spending more and more money on their pets, particularly on their dogs.

The most extraordinary example to date is that of Leonara Helmsley, a childless American billionaire. When she died, she left her dog, a white Maltese called Trouble, 12 million dollars. While Helmsley was alive, nothing was too good for her little dog. He shared her bed, was dressed in expensive clothes and wore a diamond collar. His meals were prepared by a chef and presented to him on a silver tray.

The problem was that Trouble lived up to his name and bit people. But Leonara didn’t mind –she loved him and he loved her. And so after her death, he got his reward – a lot of money that he didn’t know he had and couldn’t use anyway.

Americans were shocked by this story, but the fact is that more and more rich Americans are leaving their dogs money when they die –250,000 dollars is not unusual. In Britain, people don’t spend as much money on their dogs as Americans but they do spoil them. At Christmas, 46 per cent of dogs can expect to receive toys, and biscuits. And one in ten dog owners say they dress their pet up for the special day.

One woman was in the news in America for designing 120 outfits for her dog, which has its own wardrobe, and a $17,000 bed that it doesn’t actually sleep in. Its owner has a very successful dog boutique that sells – yes, you guessed it – designer clothes for dogs.

Now dogs may enjoy all this attention, but spoilt dogs can create problems for their owners. Dogs need a master and if their master acts like their friend or parent, they start behaving badly, attacking other animals, and damaging property –often their owner’s homes. Yet, often, this doesn’t make their owners love them less – dogs are their children, after all.

Passage 2

Interviewer：

One of the most exciting creatures in the sea is the blue whale. Daniel Cameron is a film-maker who has been filming blue whales for ten years in the south Atlantic. First of all, tell us why you have this fascination with blue whales.

Daniel ：

Well, it seems obvious to me, really. They’re extraordinary creatures. They’re the largest mammals that have ever lived on earth. They – they can be as long as 33 metres –that’s more than 16 times taller than a human being. And they’re also the loudest animal on earth – the noise they make is louder than a jet plane. I’ve heard them – very, very loud. And when they come to the surface to breathe, their blow –well, it’s usually about ten metres high.

Interviewer ：That’s amazing.

Daniel ：And I forgot to say, they live for at least 80 years.

Interviewer ：But their numbers are declining, aren’t they?

Daniel ：Yes, well, at the start of the 20th century there were between 275,000 and 300,000 blue whales in the sea. Now there are probably, probably under 5,000.

Interviewer ：And that’s as a result of …?

Daniel: …well, of whaling, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific. And also, climate change is beginning to destroy the food they eat, krill.

Interviewer ：So they’r e an endangered species?

Daniel: Yes. We’re not at all sure they’ll survive. That’s partly why I film whales –to raise awareness of them and let people know how extraordinary they are. We don’t want to lose them.

Interviewer ：Is it very difficult to film them?

Daniel ：It’s very difficult. The thing is, we know very little about them so they’re very hard to find. We –we had a boat with 12 men and often the weather was so bad that we couldn’t

go to sea. We had a small plane that we used to locate the whales and the plane would

find them alright, but, but it would take hours for the boat to get there, and by the time

we got there – the whales had gone!

Interviewer ：That must have been very frustrating.

Daniel: Yes, it was. But then sometimes we’d meet an other whale while we were on our way out.

We’d see its blow –as I said, it’s about ten metres high –and that’s quite something to see. And then one day – finally – we managed to film a whale feeding. None of us will ever forget that.

Part 1

Viewer 1 ：So, what do you guys want to watch?

Viewer 2 ：Uh, I don’t know. What’s on?

Viewer 3 ：How about a documentary on the History Channel? I like watching history programmes.

Viewer 2 ：I don’t really like watching the History Channel.

Viewer 1 ：How about a baseball game? From 1973?

Viewer 3 ：No thanks! How about a cooking show?

Viewer 1 ：Yeah, I love watching cooking shows.

Viewer 2 ：What?

Viewer 1 ：I do!

Viewer 2 ：Uh, I don’t like cooking shows. Uh, let’s watch some music videos.

Viewer 1 ：This is awful!

Viewer 3 ：Can you see what’s on another channel?

Viewer 1 ：Yeah, sure. What channel?

Viewer 3 ：Uh, anything but this.

V oice-over ：These television viewers are trying to decide on a programme to watch, by clicking on channels, and seeing what’s on. This practice is known as channel surfing. In the past, it was not difficult to decide what to watch on TV. There were only three channels to choose from. Cable television has changed all that. There are so many channels, and so many different kinds of programmes to watch, many viewers find it difficult to decide what to watch, even when they are watching by themselves. This business traveller doesn’t like anything. Many people like a particular type of programme.

Speaker 1 ：TV programmes I like watching are cooking shows, um, comedy shows.

Speaker 2：I usually watch dramas, murder mystery programmes, quizzes, comedies.

Speaker 3 ：I like watching talk shows.

Speaker 4 ：I guess of all my favourite TV shows I’d like news pro grammes.

Speaker 5：I like to watch soap operas and news.

Speaker 6 ：I like to watch comedy shows.

Speaker 7 ：Well, I like good drama, I like a lot of the cop shows, um … I like a lot of the science fiction shows and good history.

Speaker 8 ：TV programmes I like to watch are like sports, automotive, Discovery, that type of thing.

Part 2

V oice-over (画外音)

Cartoons have always been popular. This brother and sister are watching their favourite DVD.

Mum ：Turn that down!

Boy ：OK, Mum.

V oice-over ：He, he turns it down. Now the volume is too low. For couples, deciding what to watch can require some very careful negotiation.

Woman ：Oh, look! Pretty Woman is on! I love watching that movie.

Joe ：Pretty Woman? Oh, no, not Pretty Woman!

Woman ：Joe, yo u know it’s my favourite movie. It’s on in five minutes. I’ll be right back. I’m just going to get some coffee.

Joe ：I don’t like watching that kind of movie. Plus I don’t like Julia Roberts. Actually, I really hate that movie.

V oice-over ：Joe realizes that there’s a basketball game on tomorrow night. He wants to ask his friends over to watch it.

Woman ：You’re so sweet to watch this with me. I know you probably don’t want to see it again. Joe ：Oh, sure. I don’t mind. There’s nothing else on anyway. Not tonight.

Viewer 1 ：Hey, look. Swordfish is on. John Travolta and Halle Berry?

Viewer 2 ：No, I’ve already seen that twice.

Viewer 3 ：I hate that movie.

Viewer 1 ：OK. How about The Matrix?

Viewer 3 ：That’s OK. But I’ve seen it too many times.

Viewer 2 ：Yeah, me too. But I love that movie.

Viewer 3 ：You guys, there’s nothing on.

Viewer 2 ：Yeah, you’re right.

Viewer 1 ：Hey, how about we go out and get some pizza?

Viewer 3 ：That’s a good idea. Turn that off.

Mum ：I told you to turn it down. Now I’m going to turn it off.

Woman ：Oh, it’s over. I just love that movie! Thanks for putting up with it again. I know it’s not your favourite.

Joe ：That’s OK. But tomorrow’s my turn. I’m asking the guys over to watch the basketball game.

Passage 1

Speaker 1 Jacob

Interviewer：Can you tell me what your favourite type of music is?

Jacob：Yes, I can. If I’m pushed, I mean I like a lot of different types of music; but the music of my youth, that glam rock of the 70s beats them all. Interviewer Yes, and do you play

any musical instruments or …?

Jacob ：Yeah, I do attempt to play the instrument that I would love to play well, which is the guitar –the kind of, guitar hero, lead guitar. That’s what I’d like to do.

Interviewer ：Yeah, so, who’s your favourite musician? Do you have a favourite singer or group? Jacob ：Well, again, all those glam rock bands, there was T-Rex and Slade, David Bowie – they were all brilliant but the kings of them all were Queen.

Interviewer：Oh, yes. Yeah. And what kind of music … Is there any kind of music that has any special memories for you?

Jacob ：Well, yeah. I mean, really, it is Queen and, I have to say, when we were kids, we all learnt the words to Bohemian rhapsody.

Interviewer ：Bohemian rhapsody.

Jacob ：And I’ll never forget it, as long as I live.

Interviewer：Yeah. Thank you.

Speaker 2 ：Patti

Interviewer：What’s your favourite type of music?

Patti：Oh, well, I just love classical music. I just … it’s so relaxing. I often have it on, particularly Bach, I think, is just beautiful.

Interviewer：Oh yes. And do you play a musical instrument?

Patti ：No, I don’t, actually. I, I started to play as a kid. I played a little piano, a little guitar. I wish

I had ke pt up the piano. It’s a great instrument.

Interviewer：Yes, yes. And do you have a favourite musician? A favourite singer or a group? Patti ：Oh, gosh, well, I tell you, I think Ashkenazy is just amazing. The pianist? You know him? Interviewer ：I know Ashkenazy.

Patti：He is just one of my gods. Amazing.

Interviewer：And is there any music, which has special memories for you?

Patti ：Oh yes, sure. I think, all the music from my wedding. Just – oh – it just really brings back memories of the day. We had, we had the whole congregation sang Wonderful world. You know that? You know that song?

Interviewer ：Is that Louis Armstrong?

Patti ：I see trees of green – oh, that one. Even the photographer was weeping, I tell you. Interviewer ：Louis Armstrong. T hat’s great. Thank you.

Speaker 3 Gene ：

Interviewer ：What’s your favourite type of music?

Gene ：Well, I’m going to have to cheat here because I have two very favourite kinds of music, both at different ends of the musical spectrum. There’s classic al music,

which I love, orchestral, symphonic music. And then, at the other end there’s

sort of pop music, which I just grew up with and I love.

Interviewer ：So, pop meaning the Beatles …?

Gene ：The Beatles – certainly, yeah, absolutely. The Beatles.

Interviewer ：And do you play any musical instrument …or would you like to play one? Gene ：I never took up an instrument. I have three sisters. They all had piano lessons. I never got to have any piano lessons and now I really miss them, so I would like to learn the piano;

but I am just too old for that.

Interviewer ：And do you have a favourite musician? A special singer or group?

Gene ：Well, as, as I said, I grew up during, during the 60s and the 70s so a lot of the groups, like Three Dog Night, Credence Clearwater Revival and, of course, the Beatles. So, a lot of those groups there …

Interviewer ：Right. Yes. So music from the 60s and 70s?

Gene ：Yep.

Interviewer ：And is there any music which has special memories for you?

Gene ：I have to go back to the Beatles. In 1964, it was just a few months after Kennedy had been assassinated and suddenly, you know, the mood in the States was very low –a lot of confidence had gone out of the States and then suddenly, there was this huge revival of, of life, this huge new music coming over from Britain and so the Beatles, with I wanna hold your hand and She loves you –just fantastic. I’ll never forget it.

Interviewer ：Great. Thank you.

Passage 2

Speaker 1

Interviewer: Tell me about leisure activities in the States. What kind of spectator and participation sports are there?

Speaker 1 ：OK, well, the four most popular ones are baseball, basketball, American football of course, and ice hockey.

Interviewer ：Yeah, and what about – em – indoor activities, rather than sports. The kind of things that you do inside?

Speaker 1 ：Well, you could say, could say martial arts. That’s very popular. Tae Kwon Do –that sort of thing. Bowling. And movies.

Interviewer ：Yeah.

Speaker 1 ：Watching television, of course. The average American, I think, watches television about two and a half hours a day.

Interviewer ：And, apart from sports, what other outdoor activities are there?

Speaker 1 ：Cycling, tennis, golf, walking and jogging of course and now, more and more people are playing soccer.

Interviewer ：Right. And what kind of cultural activities are very popular in the States? Speaker 1 ：We all like going to concerts, I think. Er, a lot of people now are joining book clubs. Interviewer：Book clubs?

Speaker 1 ：To be a member of a book club, do something …

Interviewer ：So just local groups … with friends?

Speaker 1：Yes, local groups.

Interviewer：And you discuss books?

Speaker 1：Yes, you take a book each, each week or each month. You read it and then you go back and disc uss it. That’s very popular now.

Interviewer：And how about weekend and holiday activities?

Speaker 1：Some people like hunting. I’m not one of those at all. I don’t like that. But that’s very popular in, in the rural areas. Then, of course there’s campi ng and hiking, also. A lot

of Americans volunteer for a wide range of causes – from raising funds to helping

people who are less fortunate, tutoring students, or leading Scout troops or doing

youth sports, that sort of thing.

Interviewer：Right, yeah.

Speaker 2

Interviewer：Tell me about leisure activities and sports in Russia. What do you like doing? Speaker 2: Well, football is the favourite sport. But, er, we like also ice hockey in the winter.

Winter sports.

Interviewer：And what about indoor sp orts? Or indoor activities other than …?

Speaker 2: We like very much playing chess. And we are very good at playing chess. Also, television is very common and, in the cities – Moscow and St Petersburg – we like

to club, go dancing.

Interviewer：Oh, right. Yeah. OK. Yeah. And what about outdoor activities?

Speaker 2: Well, believe it or not, collecting mushrooms. In the autumn, we like it very much.

And also the skiing. Again, the ice hockey in the winter. Very popular. Interviewer：And I believe cultural activities are very important to you? What kind of things do you like doing?

Speaker 2: In particular, the ballet.

Interviewer：Yeah.

Speaker 2: And of course, the opera as well. Even the small towns have theatres and a cinema.

We like the country people, the rural people, they like to watch films. They call it a

“Palace of culture”.

Interviewer：Right. Yeah.

Interviewer ：And what kind of weekend and holiday activities do you enjoy?

Speaker 2: Well, you find the rich Russians, they very often have a dacha, which is a cottage. Interviewer ：Right.

Speaker 2 ：In the country.

Interviewer ：Right.

Speaker 2 ：You go there for a holiday and maybe for the weekend.

Interviewer ：Right. Thank you.

Speaker 3

Interviewer ：Tell me about leisure activities in Australia. What kind of sports do you enjoy? Speaker 3 ：Well, Australian rules football is our main spectator sport. Of course, we also love our rugby and our cricket. You know, our national teams are definitely now among

the best in the world.

Interviewer ：Yeah.

Speaker 3 ：What else? We have association football. And also very popular now is horse racing. Interviewer ：Right. And what kind of indoor activities, other than sports, do you like doing? Speaker 3 ：We’re very much an outdoor nation but when we’re inside I think we like to watch TV and, you know, go to the movies.

Interviewer ：So, what kind of outdoor activities are there?

Speaker 3 ：Well, for this we like our cycling. Some people play golf and some play tennis. And some play lawn bowls.

Interviewer：Right, yeah.

Speaker 3：Of course, you know, most Australians do live near the coast and we love to do sailing and surfing; very, very keen on our swimming and I know a lot of people do

fishing as well.

Interviewer ：Right. And what about culture? Do you do any cultural activities?

Speaker 3：Oh yes, no, no, Australia does have its culture. We’ve got our aboriginal music and our dancing and a lot of art. And of course, we’ve got our very, very famous

Sydney Opera House – you know, best in the world.

Interviewer：Yes. And what about weekend and holiday activities? What do you like doing then? Speaker 3：I think people like to be very social. We do a lot of barbies – you know – barbecues in the back garden and some people like to go bushwalking as well. Interviewer：Great. Thank you.

Speaker 3：You’re welcome.

Unit 9 Have you got what it takes?

Outside View

Every year, millions of young people take time out to help others as volunteers. Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. V olunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.

This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Cum, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.

They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. V olunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

Passage 1

Speaker 1 So how’s it all going?

Speaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it’s all go at the moment.

Speaker 1 It’s not going to ease up! So what can I do for you ?

Speaker 2 Well, next year’s my final year and I need to think seriously about my career. Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's have a look at your file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades, you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on track

for a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea what you'd like to do?

Speaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot of novels and I'm quite a good critic. Speaker 1 That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be a literary editor?

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 1 Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hard profession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unless you' re at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than just

literature. For example, there's educational publishing, professional publishing and

there's also specialist publishing, such as sports.

Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.

Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thing but ... you get the idea.

Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I start?

Speaker 1 First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good

for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.

Speaker 2 Right. How do I find out who to write to?

Speaker 1 All the publishers are listed in the Publisher’s Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the

newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal,

the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet- sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.

Speaker 2 I'll do that.

Speaker 1 One other thing. Graduates studying English always want to be an editor, they' re quite romantic about it, but there are other departments-marketing, sales, and the production

side. Don’t dismiss those.

Speaker 2 Thanks for the advice, it’s very helpful. But it’s literary editing that I want to do. Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how you get on. And good luck with your exams.

PASSENGE 2

Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy?

Lucy It was all right –wasn’t as terrifying as I thought it would be.

Harry Well done!

Lucy Yes, I was frightened I’d go completely blank but it was OK. I think the students were happy. It’s the grammar I find difficult, there’s so much to cover.

Jessica It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? We speak English, we think we know the grammar and then we do a Teaching English course and discover we don’t know a nything.

Lucy How long have you been teaching, Jessica?

Jessica Just over two years. I did the training course and then got a job teaching in Japan –Tokyo. It was an eye-opener really – the whole thing about keeping face. You have to be

so polite all the time.

Patrick So you’re teaching English because you want to travel?

Jessica Yes, that’s part of it, but also because I enjoy it, I enjoy the interaction with students, and also it’s a good career.

Patrick I feel the same. So what do you want to do next?

Jessica Marketing, I think. I’m going to do a year here, then – I hope – get a job at a language school in London, do my MA, then apply for a marketing job. Anyway, that’s the

plan.

Patrick Sounds good.

Harry What about you, Patrick? Where have you worked?

Patrick I did three years in Italy – Director of Studies in Rome. I want to spend a couple of years here, then work in London, hopefully become a teacher trainer. Your turn,

Harry.

Harry Well, I’m not like you and Jessica. I’m just happy to be here, in a beautiful city doing a job I enjoy.

Jessica You don’t see teaching English as a career?

Harry Well, my thing is travel, for the moment anyway.

Lucy Which countries have you been to, Harry?

Harry I did a year’s teaching in Brazil – Rio de Janeiro – such a stunning city and stunning beaches, Copacabana, and all overlooked by Sugar Loaf mountain.

Patrick Cool. And then?

Harry Two years in Mexico City …

Jessica You should be a travel writer.

Harry I’m too busy travelling! In fact I just arrived from Spain three days ago, from Barcelona, I was teaching primary school kids.

Lucy Great!

Harry Well, we’re all giving our reasons for teaching English, so what’s yours, Lucy?

Lucy Um - I think I’m going to really enjoy it, simple as that. And obviously it’s great to be in Italy. I mean Venice, what more can you ask?

Unit 10 Science fact or science fiction?

Outside View

When we talk about technology, we usually think small. However, we're going to look at one of the biggest technological marvels of the 21st century. The Airbus A380 is the world's biggest commercial aircraft. New technologies were used in the design, engineering and manufacture of this amazing "superjumbo". The Airbus A380 is assembled in Toulouse in France, but parts of the aircraft are built in several European countries. They are brought to Toulouse by various means of transport. This is a ship which was built in China especially to transport the huge sections of the plane. Parts of the main body are built in Germany. Special carbon fibre materials are used to give the plane great strength with less weight than usual. The wings are made in Britain of the same carbon fibre material. They are much lighter than aluminum and steel. Several parts of the plane

are built in factories in Spain. Finally, some sections are built in France, so Airbus has its own factories in Britain, France, Germany and Spain.

One of the most important pieces of technology for such a huge aircraft is the landing gear. This is built in Canada where extensive tests are carried out to ensure that it can land under any conditions. The engines were developed by Rolls-Royce at Derby in Britain. Finally, pilots have to learn to fly the plane. This flight simulator at Toulouse uses the latest digital technology. Now for the moment of truth, with 154 planes ordered by the world's airlines, the big question was: "Will it fly at all?" On the day of the first flight, thousands of people gathered at Toulouse Airport to see the superjumbo fly for the first time. They were not disappointed. The biggest airliner in the history of aviation took to the air as planned.

Listening in

Passage 1

Presenter Could technological advances be changing people's identities - and possibly even society as a whole? That is the theory behind a new book on the brain by Professor

Susan Greenfield. The book is called Tomorrow’s People: How 21st Century

Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Fee l.Greenfield suggests that

advances in technology, and the effect they are having on our lives, are changing our

very idea of who we are. In other words, they are changing our identity. And this, she

thinks, is a very dangerous thing. I'm joined in the studio by Dr Jane Ferris, Professor

of Neuroscience at Imperial College London and Brian Thomas, Professor of Surgery

at University College Hospital. Let's begin at the beginning. Brian, how do brains

works ?

Brian Well, a brain is a mass of neurons, and these neurons make connections with each other - billions of connections - and store information. We all have basically the same brain

structure. It's what we do with our brain that makes the difference. We take in

information. The neurons in our brain connect all this information and make sense of it.

So to some extent, it's the information we feed our brain that helps to make us the kind

of people we are- and that's what we call our identity.

Jane And if I can come in here, children and young people are now spending huge amounts of time on video games that are often violent, also on the web, and on

mobile phones. And Greenfield believes that the result is that these technologies may

be changing the way young people think and even causing changes in their identity. Presenter Why exactly?

Jane Because the information that an individual receives from computer games, for example, is very different from reality. And she fears that because of this, these technologies may

be changing our sense of reality-what we see as real-and may even reduce it. And if

this is happening, the result may well be changes in our behavior.

Presenter Can you give an example?

Jane Risk-taking is good example-we may start taking more risks.

Brian But she admits there’s no conclusive evidence of this.

Jane That’s true.

Brian I agree that Greenfield asks some interesting questions, but to say that technology can influence society to think and behave differently-we need much more research before

we can accept this.
