Preliminary listening. Listen to the items and summarize each of them.

Listen to the news items again. Focus your attention on the “wh-“ questions and try to answer them.

Discussion after the first listening.

1.What?

It attempts to balance environmental concerns and the needs of the community.

2.What?

Reptile species are in greater trouble than amphibian species.

3．What?

A new approach in the fight against the illegal drugs trade.

4. What?

One in every eight species of plants is threatened with extinction.

5. What?

A new local directory for the environmentally-aware, called the “Boulder County Green Pages.”

News items:

1. Aus tralia is the world’s driest continent. There’s general agreement that the country has to use water more efficiently. In many parts, supplies are in crisis. At a meeting in Canberra, the Council of Australian Governments has approved a national water plan. It attempts to balance environmental concerns and the needs of the community. The amount of water taken from rivers for commercial use is to be cut and farmers will be compensated.

2. The disappearance and deformity of amphibians such as frogs and salamanders from rain forests and mountain lakes worldwide has attracted wide-spread scientific attention over the last decade. Now a new study says reptile species including turtles, snakes, and alligators are in even greater trouble. Twice as many reptiles as amphibians, or some 100 species, are currently listed as endangered by the World Conservation Union. The study says habitat loss and degradation, pollution, disease, climate change, and over-collection for food, pets and drugs are the major threats to

reptiles.

3. Four regional governors from columbia, on a visit to Washington, have sharply criticized an American-backed aerial offensive to eradicate thousands of hectares of illegal coca and poppy plantations. At a news conference the governors called for a different approach in the fight against the illegal drugs trade, saying that the herbicides currently being used were harmful to public health and the environment.

4. Much attention has been devoted to threatened animal species. But what about plants which are the fundamental bases of life? One in every eight species of plants is threatened with extinction. Since all food chains begin in the sphere of plant life, this is bad news for the animals too, including humans who depend on plants not only for food but also for medicines, building materials, and other vital purposes.

5. A new local directory for the environmentally-aware is now available, called the “Boulder County Green Pages”. The Rotary Clubs in Boulder County got together with local recycling and environmental specialists to put together this first-ever directory. It includes quick reference to green products and services for recycling, xeriscaping, energy conservation, and more. The $5 cost helps raise funds for the sponsoring groups.

Part2 Listening and Note-talking Driving Carefully
Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets, when you see a bus stopped, or near a parked mobile shop. Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.
Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured are either under fifteen or over sixty. The young and elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them, and the infirm, or blind, or disabled people, plenty of time to cross the road.
Drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses. Stop when signalled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a Stop-Children sign. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream then in traffic.
When coming to a zebra crossing. be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing. Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop. Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads. Never overtake just before a zebra crossing.
Exercise A: 1. Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about. 2. Three out of four pedestrians killed are either under fifteen or over sixty. 3. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream
than in traffic. 4. When coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people
cross. 5. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing.

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their

B. painter, birds, animals, cats, wide, published, encouragement, A year or two, The Illustrated London News, cats' Christmas party, a hundred and fifty, world famous 【原文】 Dan Rider, a bookseller who loved good causes, was a member of a committee that visited mental asylums. On one visit he noticed a patient, a quiet little man, drawing cats. Rider looked at the drawings and gasped. "Good lord, man," he exclaimed. "You draw like Louis Wain!" "I am Louis Wain," said the artist. Most people today have never heard of Louis Wain. But, when Rider found him in 1925, he was a household name. "He made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world," said H. G. Wells in a broadcast appeal a month or two later. "British cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves." Before Louis Wain began drawing them, cats were kept strictly in the kitchen if they were kept at all. They were useful for catching mice and perhaps for keeping the maidservant company. Anyone else who felt affection for cats usually kept quiet about it. If a man admitted that he liked cats, he would be laughed at. The dog was the only domestic animal that could be called a friend. Louis Wain studied art as a youth and became quite a successful newspaper and magazine artist. He specialized in birds and animals, including dogs, but never drew a cat till his wife was dying. They had not been married long, and during her illness a black-and-white cat called Peter used to sit on her bed. To amuse his wife, Louis Wain used to sketch and caricature the cat while he sat by her bedside. She urged him to show these-drawings to editors, fie was unconvinced,

Unit 3 听力原文 Part I B Sam: I won?t be able to do the exam tomorrow. I just don?t feel that I?m ready. Counselor: You say that you don?t feel ready for tomorrow?s exam ... what do you feel like right now? Sam: Well, I?m angry with myself because I?m going to have to quit the exam and, well, I guess I?m anxious. Yes, I feel very anxious. Counselor: When you think about this anxiety, what image do you have of yourself? Sam: Well, I see myself trying to explain to my Dad why I didn?t make the grade on this course ... and I see him getting angry ... and, well, I start to feel I?ve let him down again. Counselor: You don?t feel ready for your exam, you feel anxious and you don?t want to let your Dad down again. Tell me about the last time you let your Dad down. Sam: Oh, well, it was a year ago ... He?d entered me for a chess competition and I got knocked out in the first match ... he was angry because he?d told all his friends how good I was. Counselor: What did you tell him ... as an explanation when you lost the chess game? Sam: I told him that I wasn?t ready to play in that league. Counselor: And now you are preparing to tell him that you?re not ready to sit this examination? Sam: Yes, I suppose I am. Counselor: O.K. Sam, so what you are saying to me is that you feel reluctant to take the exam tomorrow because you do not like the thought of having to explain a poor grade or a failure to your father. Is that right, Sam? Sam: Yes. That?s exactly it. C 1. A: When I read in English, I always want to understand every single word and so I spend a lot of time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time I?ve looked up the word in my dictionary, I?ve forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. That?s my trouble really — I rely too much on my dictionary. B: Well, why don?t you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? You?ll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean. 2. A: I have to read a lot of books and articles in English for my work —I?m a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when I?m reading and so sometimes I find that I?m almost copying out the whole article because I can?t decide what the really important points are. B: It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea of what it?s about. I think it?s difficult to read something for the first time and take notes as well. 3. A: I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but there?s one thing I find very difficult in English. I?m never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times I?ve read something I thought was serious and later I?ve found out it was supposed to be funny. B: I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one day perhaps we?ll understand the British sense of humor. 4. A: I have to read a lot in English in my studies and this is causing me problems. I read too slowly in English. Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understand
