Welcome to Venice, everybody! To start our tour today, I want to tell you about a challenge we face in our beautiful city: floods

You see, a large portion of Venice was built on a salt marsh. City planners had to find a way to maximize space and use every part of the marsh. Builders placed hundreds of wooden logs deep into the marsh. Then they placed building foundations on top of the logs. By doing this, they were able to convert the salt marsh into land for farming. But the salt marsh is like a giant sponge.

各位，欢迎来到威尼斯，我想要告诉你们我们美丽的威尼斯面临的一个挑战：洪水。

你是知道的，威尼斯的大部分建立在盐沼地上。城市规划者不得不找到一种方法最大可能的利用湿地的每一部分。建设者们放置了成千上万的木深入在沼泽中。通过这样，他们可以将盐沼地变成农地。但是盐沼地像一个巨大的海绵。

The weight of the city pushes down on the salt marsh and buildings slowly sink into the water. High tides, called acqua alta are also a problem. Now, Venice floods on a regular basis.Venetian residents are used to the floods, but our old and beautiful buildings suffer. Many structures are damaged by the water and the restoration of these buildings is very expensive.

城市自身的重量将自己压入盐沼里，建筑物也缓慢的陷入水中。高水位潮汐，我们称之为“acqua alta”同样也是一个问题。现在威尼斯的洪水有规律的发生着。威尼斯的居民习惯了这样的洪水，但是我们古老美丽的建筑却在遭殃。许多建筑物被谁损坏，而修复这些建筑物又是非常昂贵的。

The city is now building water barriers that will stop sea water from flooding the city. This innovative project is called MOSE,and it will be completed soon. The cost of this project is already more than seven billion dollars. Some people argue that the project violates government regulations and is illegal. Others believe that the water barriers will interfere with the beauty of the city and will cause tourists to leave. Let's hope this does not happen, because tourism generates business for shops,restaurants, and hotels. Financial support is necessary to help pay for the MOSE project. So thank you for coming to Venice!

现在威尼斯正在建设水障来组织海水的侵蚀。这个创新项目叫做“摩斯项目”而且它将很快完工。这项工程已经花费了70亿美元。有些人声称这个项目违反了政府的法规是个违法的项目。其他一些人则认为水障将影响城市的美观，而且会导致观光客的离去。但愿这些不会发生。因为游客会带来生意，向商店，餐馆，宾馆。财政支持对MOSE项目来说也是很有必要的。最后，谢谢你们来到威尼斯。

Unit 1 Pirates of the Internet It’s no secret that online piracy has decimated the music industry as millions of people stopped buying CDs and started stealing their favorite songs by downloading them from the internet. Now the hign-tech thieves are coming after Hollywood. Illegal downloading of full-length feature films is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s becoming easier and easier to do. The people running America’s movie studios know that if they don’t do something----and fast---they could be in the same boat as the record companies. Correspodent: “What’s really at stake for the movie industry with all this privacy?” Chernin: “Well, I think, you know, ultimately, our absolute features.” Peter Chernin runs 20th Century Fox, one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. He knows the pirates of the Internet are gaining on him. Correspont: “Do you know how many movies are being downloaded today, in one day, in the United States?” Chernin: “I think it’s probably in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.” Correspondent: “And it’s only going to grow.” Chernin: “It’s only going to grow. √Somebody can put a perfect digital copy up on the internet. A perfect digital copy, all right. And with the click of mouse, send out a million copies all over the world, in an instant.”

商务英语视听说 Unit 1 Part I Listening and Speaking Task 1 Q1. I am graduating in June from ABC University and my major is hotel management. I am an outgoing, energetic person. I enjoy teamwork very much. As part of my degree program, I needed to finish different projects with my teammates. I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a very positive attitude. My career aspiration is to become a successful hotelier. During my internship at the Grand Hyatt, I worked as a receptionist. My duties included offering friendly and efficient check-in and check-out service to guests, answering phone calls, taking and passing on messages to guests, I find that if I can make the guests happy, I will be very happy, too. Q2. I received honors in several school-wide English and computer contests. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds. I am good at communicating, organizing and coordinating. If something blocks my path, I will look for a solution. I never give up easily. Sometimes I receive comments that I need to improve in the area of filing. I am now trying to improve by learning from others. Q3. Interest and career development are two of my criteria in choosing a job. Interest is the best motivation. I love the hotel business, so I will definitely devote myself to it. Moreover, high job satisfaction can be attained when the job is what I am interested in. Career development is very important for me when choosing a job. From what I know, Shangri-La provides equal career advancement for all staff. The job rotation plan and individually tailored training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me. Task 2 Is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful. Avoid asking interviewer personal questions or making personal comments. Could you tell me how much the new job pays? The interviewer might infer from these questions that you are only interested in your own needs and not those of their company. Wait until the employer raises these subjects to discuss them. What about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that? How much time will it take for me to be promoted here? But in which cities do you have your branches? And where is your company based? It is also unwise to ask about things you should have already known. You are only telling the interviewer that you haven't done your homework.

Some，even at the beginning of their college life，begin to make every effort to buy a variety of famous-brand products. Some take part in different kinds of popular entrainment activities. As a result，when it becomes a kind of luxury to pursue fashion，all these will bring about a burden to these young people financially and mentally.As far as I am concerned，college students should cherish ambitions rather than become slaves of fashion.

Unit 4 Brain Man Almost 25 years ago, 60 Minutes introduced viewers to George Finn, whose talent was immortalized in the movie "Rain Man." George has a condition known as savant syndrome, a mysterious disorder of the brain where someone has a spectacular skill, even genius, in a mind that is otherwise extremely limited. Morley Safer met another savant, Daniel Tammet, who is called "Brain Man" in Britain. But unlike most savants, he has no obvious mental disability, and most important to scientists, he can describe his own thought process. He may very well be a scientific Rosetta stone, a key to understanding the brain. ________________________________________ Back in 1983, George Finn, blessed or obsessed with calendar calculation, could give you the day if you gave him the date. "What day of the week was August 13th, 1911?" Safer quizzed Finn. "A Sunday," Finn replied. "What day of the week was May 20th, 1921?" Safer asked. "Friday," Finn answered. George Finn is a savant. In more politically incorrect times he would have been called an "idiot savant" - a mentally handicapped or autistic person whose brain somehow possesses an island of brilliance. Asked if he knew how he does it, Finn told Safer, "I don't know, but it's just that, that's fantastic I can do that." If this all seems familiar, there?s a reason: five years after the 60 Minutes broadcast, Dustin Hoffman immortalized savants like George in the movie "Rain Man." Which brings us to that other savant we mentioned: Daniel Tammet. He is an Englishman, who is a 27-year-old math and memory wizard. "I was born November 8th, 1931," Safer remarks. "Uh-huh. That's a prime number. 1931. And you were born on a Sunday. And this year, your birthday will be on a Wednesday. And you'll be 75," Tammet tells Safer. It is estimated there are only 50 true savants living in the world today, and yet none are like Daniel. He is articulate, self-sufficient, blessed with all of the spectacular ability of a savant, but with very little of the disability. Take his math skill, for example.

Unit 6 Food Concerns Analytical Listening 1 Lecturer: Let me just get my first slide up. Great. OK, everyone, today we’re going to talk about genetically-modified foods—GM foods for short. These are foods with modified genes. Nowadays, scientists can modify the genes of any animal or plant to make them grow faster, grow bigger, or even produce their own pesticides. Genetic engineers can take a gene from virtually any animal or plant and insert it into virtually any other animal or plant. For example, they can put a rat gene into lettuce to make it produce vitamin C, or put moth genes into apple plants to help them resist diseases. Some GM plants produce chemicals that fight insects. This means that insects would not be able to destroy any crops. Lecturer: Scientists have modified the genes of Atlantic salmon to make them grow twice as fast. They’ve modified the genes of cattle and sheep so they produce medicines in their milk. Many scientists feel that GM foods could be the key to the next advances in agriculture and health. OK so far? OK. Onto the next slide. On the other hand, there’s another side to GM foods, too. Critics fear that these new foods are being rushed to market before their effects are fully understood. Scientists think that some weeds could pick up modified genes from other plants and become “superweeds”. Superweeds could spread over wide areas of land and be very hard to kill. Scientists are also worried about possible harmful effects of GM plants on insects and animals. Lecturer: In North America and Europe, the value and impact of GM foods has become the subject of intense debate. Are you following me? Yes, you have a question? Student 1: Yes, um, are any of these GM foods in restaurants today? Lecturer: Oh, sure. Most people don’t even realize that they’ve been eating genetically-modified foods. In the United States, for instance, genetically modified vegetables have been sold since the mid-1990s. More than 60 percent of all processed foods on U.S. supermarket shelves—including pizza, ice cream, salad dressing, and baking powder—contain ingredients from GM soybeans, corn, or canola. And the U.S. is certainly not alone. Lecturer: Argentina, Canada, China, South Africa, Australia, Germany, and Spain all plant plenty of genetically-modified vegetable crops. On the other hand, while scientists have created various GM animals, no GM animals have been approved for use as food yet. Any other questions? Student 2: I have a question. Genetically modifying plants and animals sounds dangerous to me. Is it? Lecturer: There are things to be concerned about, no question. But corporations try to offset risks by doing thorough testing—more than any other food we eat—that’s according to one of the leading developers of GM products.
