Unit 2 Animals and pets

Part A

Exercise 1

Passage 1

Dear Sir,

I’m writing to say how shocked I am by the amount of money that people in Britain spend on their pets.

A recent article in your newspaper informed us that last year Britons spent 660 million pounds on dog food and 516 million pounds on food for their cats.

Are we completely mad? Every day on TV we see pictures of people who have no food at all. A few pounds would buy them food for a week. Even in Britain there are many people without work and homes. A little money could make a big difference to them couldn’t it? But it seems that in Britain animals come first. Perhaps it is time to think again.

Yours faithfully,

Ms D.Walker

Key: P.12Q: what does the letter mainly tell us? ( a. the money spend by Britons… )

Passage 2

One of the main complaints of the city residents in the United States is the number of homeless cats and dogs. It has been estimated that more than 31 million cats and dogs are wandering through the streets of the cities. Each year about a fifth of these animals are destroyed. A survey of 41 cities reports that as much as 15 million dollars is spent to capture and kill those animals every year. One city alone, Chicago, spends one million dollars a year to control its animal population. On the other hand, though you can find quite a lot of cats and dogs wandering in New York, the city government can’t find any money for animal population control.

Keys: Q. What is the passage mainly about? （b. Problems caused by homeless ….）

Exercise 2

1. Mrs. Bush had been giving her students a very long and not very interesting lecture to animals. When she

finished, she decided to ask a few questions. She started off with this question. ―Now, Tommy, tell me where elephants are found.‖

Tommy hadn’t done much listening, but he pretended to be clever, saying, ―Elephants are such big animals that they hardly ever get lost.‖

2. An angry customer went back to the pet shop and said to the owner, ―The cat you sold me is absolutely useless!‖

The owner looked at the cat and said, ―What’s wrong with it? It looks perfectly all right to me.‖ The customer became furious and said, ―When you sold it to me you promised it would be a good cat for mice. Yet every time it sees a mouse it runs away and hides.‖ The owner smiled and said, ―Well, isn’t that a good cat for mice?‖

Customer: Hmm…

Attendant: What about a bird then? A parrot or a parakeet. We have both.

Customer: Which do you recommend?

Attendant: Well, parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉) aren’t as easy to train, and they never speak as well as parrots(鹦鹉). Customer: Yes, but parakeets don’t need as much space as parrots, do they?

Attendant: That’s true. Parakeets are very popular because they are so easy to keep.

Story

Dog Plays “Mother” to Tiger Cubs

People at a zoo in China have used a dog named Balu to play mother to three newborn Siberian tigers.

The newborn tigers of the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, including one male and two females were abandoned by their mother. They were very much in need of being breast-fed and the zoo called for Balu.

The first time the 7-year-old bitch acted as a tiger’s mother was five years ago when a Siberian tiger became too sick and weak to feed her four babies and the park had to place an advertisement for a replacement.

Since then the animal owned by a farmer from Nanhui has been asked to play mother for 12 tiger cubs on four occasions.

Officials from the park came calling for her services two months ago shortly after she had given birth to her own two puppies.

Park spokesman Su Feilong recalled: ―She was very strong at first sight. Though the tiger cubs were much bigger than her, she regarded them as her own children and fed them wholeheartedly.‖

Balu has now takes to breast-feeding both her own and ―adopted‖ babies, according to Shanghai Daily.

own puppies, she never got angry with them but tried to make them quiet with a gentle hug.‖

When completed, they will be able to host 12 major sports competitions at the same time, including track and field events. The international Exhibition and Sports centre will also be built in this area.

The design of the Olympic Green has taken serious considerations about how to meet IOC’s standard of environmental protection.

Unit 6 Transportation

Part A

Exercise 1 Tables

1.I prefer travelling by plane because it’s quicker.

2.I think buses are better than any other form of transport. A busy journey is more interesting because you can see

what is happening in the streets.

3.I hate travelling by train. There are always problems with trains in the area. They’re either late or they’re cancelled.

You can never trust them. I use my car and always get where I’m going on time. Trave lling by car is definitely more reliable.

4.I don’t take buses, nor do I drive a car. They both cause terrible pollution in towns and cities’. I enjoy travelling

everywhere by bike. It’ good exercise for my body and it’ better for the environment.

5.I think people who drive to get to work are crazy. They sit for hours in traffic jams. To me trains are much better. I

like travelling by train because I can work while I’m travelling. It’s more convenient and more comfortable than travelling by car.

A passage

The maglev train

On the whole I think our country has an excellent system of transportation, but I do not think that it does a good job of transportation people between cities that are only a few hundred miles apart. A person commuting(经常往来) between one city and a neighbouring(邻近的) one may spend only a relatively(相对) short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming(耗时的) as driving. Moreover, airplane uses a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. They simply are not fuel efficient on short trips.他们只是在短途

旅行不省油。

Then high speed trains may be the answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called MAGLEV磁悬浮, meaning a train raised in the air by magnetic force磁力. Maglevs will not actually ride on the tracks 轨道but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than 150 miles per hour. At that speed conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. It seems Maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future.

Passage 1

This Room Looks a Bit of a Mess

At first sight this room looks a bit of a mess. A real eccentric古怪的，反常的lives here. You can tell it’s a woman because there are cushions everywhere—men don’t like cushions. Cushions may look attractive, but nine times out of ten, they don’t make seats more comfortable. But that’s typical of the different ways men and women look at homes—men are often more practical, while women are more concerned with aesthetics美学；美的哲学.

The room is very cluttered杂乱的，混乱的—there are far too many things in the room, and every surface is covered with some ornament装饰物. There isn’t really enough furniture here—She could do with a few shelves or cupboards to put all the things in. But this is not a practical person. This is somebody who lives in the world of imagination—perhaps a children’s book writer.

There’s something special about this room as far as color is concerned. There are loads of bright colors at all. Also, there is very little natural light as the windows are all shut and the curtains drawn. On the other hand, there are

a lot of indoor plants in the room. There are also all kinds of cut flowers鲜花in vases, bottles and bowls花瓶，瓶

子和碗. The flowers and the green do help bring this person down to earth. And the bright colors definitely suggest

a person who is warm-hearted and sociable.

Keys: Exercise 1: P.61.

1. what does the speaker think of the woman? [c. he thinks she has a complex复杂personality, living in both t…]

2. what is the speaker’s idea about cushions? [d. they show clearly whether it is a man or a woman who...]

e) all shut, drawn, there is almost no natural light

f) doesn’t have enough furniture, shelves, cupboards will make the room less cluttered

g) indoor plants and cut flowers, vases, bottles and bowls

a) practical; concerned with aesthetics b) imagination c) warm-hearted, sociable

Passage 2

A Room with No Personal Objects(一个没有个人物品的房间)

It is more difficult to tell what types of a person lives in this room because there are very few clues线索，蛛丝

马迹here. I think it’s a man because there are hardly any personal objects on display—for instance, there aren’t any family photos around the place.

But there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that he’s an international businessman, someone who spends most of

his time traveling. There are a couple of oriental rugs东方地毯which are probably worth a lot of money, and a few other ornaments装饰品which suggest that he has traveled to countries in the Middle East.

Most of the furniture is functional功能的rather than decorative装饰. I think there’s somebody who doesn’t actually spend much time at home, and when he does, he’s tidy整洁的. Probably he has somebody to clean his place once or twice a week. The lack of decoration suggests that he wants to be ready to pack his bags and leave at short notice短的时间.

He seems to have little time to socialize社交, except, perhaps, in a working context环境. Maybe he’d have a working lunch sometimes with his partner or discuss a business deal with a client客户over dinner. It’s very unlikely that he’d ever entertain at home. He’s single, and maybe the sort of person who has problems with commitment承诺in personal relationships.

A Modern Office

We’re supposed to start work at nine, but I often came in later because I have to take my children to school first, but then I stay a bit later. Of course, if I’ve got an early morning meeting or if I’ve got to be in court first thing

in the morning, my wife has to take the kids to school. We’re supposed to work a 40-hour week, but I think most people actually work more than that. We’re supposed to dress smartly, particularly if we have contact with clients,

so I always wear a suit and tie to work. Female always aren’t allowed to wear trousers or even dark tights. They have to wear knee-length skirts—no minis. The secretaries can wear tailored rouses, but no jeans. A weekly dress-down day was introduced last mouth—it’s an idea from America, where everybody comes into work in casual dress on a Friday. Personally, I have no desire to come into work wearing jeans and a T-shirt. I like to make a difference between work and home, and I can wear casual cloths at home. I think people should dress smartly for work—it gives a good impression. Smoking, eating and dressing are strictly forbidden in the office. There’s a non-smoking cafeteria downstairs, and smokers have to go outside. Personally, I think smoking ought to be banned

in all public places.

A passage

Choosing a career

Some of the liberal arts graduates I’ve worked with over the years were confused about their career options. They just didn’t know about all the fields or kinds of jobs that they could investigate.

Dave, for example, had his heart set on working for Nike. He loved sports and had played college baseball. Nike was his place—he just knew it. Problem was Nike didn’t know it. Dave was an English major and wasn’t sure what job he could do for them. When a family friend arranged for a meeting with an accountant that worked at Nike, Dave hoped the man would find him a job at the company. But Dave didn’t tell the man the type of job he could do, didn’t ask questions about Nike’s communications department, nor did he inquire about who else he should talk to at the company. The result: Nothing happened after that meeting. It wasn’t the Nike employee’s job to figure out what career Dave could do, it was Dave’s. Not having a clear idea of the types of jobs he can do is a critical error.

I began to work with Dave shortly after the Nike meeting, focusing him on his stronger skills—writing, editing, and computer skills. Dave began working temporary jobs临时工作and started networking with other alumni校友，毕业生. Through networking, he learned about a position at a publishing company. He landed获得a job as editorial assistant at a company that published comic books and was coming out with a new baseball video game. Dave found a terrific极好的job once he directed his skills to what he could do for an employer instead of what an employer could do for him. Keys: Exercise 1:P. 82

Part A

Exercise 1

Last Tuesday a man armed with just a hot hamburger in a bag stole＄10’000 from a bank in a small town in California.

Police Detective Bill Stevenson said that the robber, who was wearing a mask, was quite tall, about six feet. He entered the National Bank at about 1:30 p.m. and gave the teller a note demanding＄10,000. He claimed that he had a bomb in the bag.
