Italian investigators are trying to discover what caused a small private plane to crash into Milan's tallest building on Thursday, killing at least three, injuring dozens more and making a big hole in the 32-story building.

The aircraft was piloted by a 68-year-old Swiss man. It hit the 26th floor of the tower in an apparent accident at 5:48 p.m., 18 minutes after taking off, Italian officials said.

An Italian police officer said they had no evidence of a link to terrorism. An intelligence official in Washington told the media that, in spite of past warnings, there was no information about a possible terrorist attack aiming at Italy.

Milan fire brigade officials said the aircraft had only the pilot and no passengers, according to the flight plan. It was on fire as it flew into the tower. There was an explosion in the building when the four-seat plane hit, but there was no danger that the building would collapse, the police said.

Lisa:Do you wear the seat belt every time you drive or ride in a car?

Mike:No. Seat belts are for chickens. Besides, I'm a great driver.

Lisa:The chances of being injured in a car accident this year are one in 75. I think that's worth thinking about seriously.

Mike:Have you ever been involved in an automobile accident?

Lisa:Only once. My car slid on a rainy night and went off the road. Fortunately,

I was wearing my seat belt.

Mike:I've never had a serious accident.

Lisa:My brother was more unlucky than I was. Last December he was almost killed in an accident. He was in the back seat of his friend's car when it rolled.

He wasn't wearing a seat belt.

Mike:Wow, that's terrible!

Lisa:Fastening your seat belt should be an automatic thing. You should do it as soon as you get into your car. But too many people still refuse to wear them.

Mike:It's just hard for me to get in the habit of wearing one.

Lisa:All it takes is one close call and you'll wear your seat belt.

Mike:OK, I've got the message. From now on I'll fasten my seat belt.

Listening in > Task 2

One day, two friends were driving downtown when they came to an intersection with a traffic light. The light was red but the driver sped right through it. The passenger looked in terror at the driver and shouted, "What the hell are you doing? You're going to get us killed!"

The driver replied, "Don't worry. My mom always drives like this and she is all right." Later, they came to another traffic light and that too was red. Again the driver shot right through the light. Again the passenger looked at the driver and shouted, "I thought I have told you, you would get us killed! Would you please stop this nonsense!?"

The driver looked at the passenger and answered, "All right! I get it, but I told you my mom drove like this all the time! And she's quite OK."

They came to another traffic light. It was green. The driver slammed on the brakes, suddenly stopping the car. The passenger was thrown forward. "What on earth are you doing?" he screamed. "This is the third time you almost got us killed. Why did you stop at a green light?"

"Well," said the driver, "my mom might be coming the other way." Listening in > Task 3

Yesterday a house fire in Worcester, Massachusetts claimed the lives of six firefighters. That's more than were killed by any other U.S. building fire in nearly 30 years. The cause of that fire was a candle knocked over by a homeless couple in the building.

"There's no such thing as a perfectly safe candle," says Jim Shannon of the National Fire Prevention Association. "The most recent statistics we have for one year show that about 190 people were killed from candle fires in the United States, and almost 1,500 injured." Those statistics also show that, in one year alone, the number of candle fires rose 15 percent, and nearly five percent of home fires were started by candles. By comparison, only about one percent of house fires were caused by candles 10 years ago.

Why the increase? Experts say it's the jump in the popularity of candles. In the last 10 years, candle sales have increased by at least 700 percent.

Valerie Cooper, executive vice president of the National Candle Association, noted, "We believe that 80 percent of all candle fires can

be eliminated by three basic safety precautions: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles away from things that can catch fire and keep them away from children and pets."

New York City Fire Chief John Coloe pointed out some common mistakes people make when burning candles, such as putting them near flammable objects. He says, "You should keep all flammable things at least a foot away. Otherwise, if the candle gets tipped over, it could very easily start a fire in the house."

Let's talk > Task 1

A policeman stops a driver and says, "Sir, you were speeding. Can I see your license, please?"

The driver replies, "I don't have one."

"You don't have one?"

The driver answers, "I lost it for drunk driving."

The policeman is surprised. "I see. Will you show me your vehicle registration papers, please?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

The policeman asks, "Why not?"

"I stole this car."

The officer says, "Stole it?"

The driver answers, "Yes, and I killed the owner."

The officer is shocked. "You did what?"

"She's in the trunk if you want to see."

The officer is horrified and calls for backup. Within minutes, five police cars show up, surrounding the car. The police chief cautiously approaches the car, asking, "Sir, could you open the trunk of your car, please?"

The driver opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.

The chief says, "Is this your car, sir?"

The driver says "Yes," and hands over the registration papers.

The chief is quite surprised. "One of my officers says you don't have a driving license."

Many household accidents could have been prevented, but accidents seem to make news headlines every day. While accidents can happen anytime or anywhere, parents with young children can prevent accidents at home by taking a few steps.

First, set your water heater correctly: To avoid burns from hot water, make sure your water heater's temperature is set below 120° Fahrenheit, or set to "low". Anything above that temperature can cause a child serious burns within seconds.

Second, beware of candles: Statistics show that the small candle flames cause approximately 15,000 home fires a year. If you have young children and pets, stop using candles or be sure to blow them out before leaving a room.

Third, recognize danger signals: It is important to pay attention to signs of danger from electrical appliances. If the wiring in your home does not function normally, you need to update it. Potential warning signs that might require an electrician's inspection include wavering TV pictures or computer screens, flickering lights and shocks from appliances.

It is impossible to prevent all accidents, so it is necessary to create a fire escape plan. In addition to having a smoke alarm on every floor of your home, draw a simple floor plan of your home. On it, mark two exits from every room, including windows and an outside family assembly point, such as a driveway or parking lot.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, a woman and a man are involved in a car accident. Both of their cars are damaged, but surprisingly neither of them is hurt.

After they climb out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left.

But fortunately we're not injured. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

The man replies, " I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"

The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely destroyed, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good luck."

Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, takes a few large drinks, and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cork back in the bottle, and puts it away. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "Yes, but not until the police get here."

Help! Help! Please help me!

Operator:Yes sir. Please calm down and explain exactly what is happening.

Taxi driver:Calm down! My car has broken down on the highway. I have a lady passenger and she's going into labor.

Operator:Now relax, sir. Explain exactly where you are.

Taxi driver:I'm... I'm in the southbound lane of the No. 15 Expressway, about 15 miles from the tunnel, and this lady isn't going to wait.

Operator:OK. What's your name, sir, and your passenger's?

Taxi driver:It's... it's Mike, and I have no idea about the woman. She's in no condition to tell me. How soon can someone get here?

Operator:I've just sent an ambulance to your location. They should be there any second.

Taxi

driver:

Hey, is there anything I can do while we wait for the ambulance? Operator:Yes, uh, keep her calm and warm.

Taxi

driver:

OK. Please hurry... Oh, they're too late. It's a boy!

Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Book 2 Chapter 1 The Population Today we’re going to talk about population in the United States. According to the most recent government census, the population is 281,421,906 people. Now this represents an increase of almost 33 million people since the 1990 census. A population of over 281 million makes the United States the third most populous country in the whole world. As you probably know, the People’s Republic of China is the most populous country in the world. But do you know which is the second most populous? Well, if you thought India, you were right. The fourth, fifth, and sixth most populous countries are Indonesia, Brazil, and Pakistan. Now let’s get back to the United States. Let’s look at the total U. S. population figure of 281 million in three different ways. The first way is by race and origin; the second is by geographical distribution, or by where people live; and the third way is by the age and sex of the population. First of all, let’s take a look at the population by race and origin. The latest U. S. census reports that percent of the population is white, whereas percent is black. Three percent are of Asian origin, and 1 percent is Native American. percent of the population is a mixture of two or more races, and percent report themselves as “of some other race”. Let’s make sure your figures are right: OK, white, percent; black, percent; Asian, 3 percent; Native American, 1 percent; a mixture of two or more races, percent; and of some other race, percent. Hispanics, whose origins lie in Spanish-speaking countries, comprise whites, blacks, and Native Americans, so they are already included in the above figures. It is important to note that Hispanics make up percent of the present U.S. population, however. Finally, the census tells us that 31 million people in the United States were born in another country. Of the 31 million foreign born, the largest part, percent are from Mexico. The next largest group, from the Philippines, number percent. Another way of looking at the population is by geographical distribution. Do you have any idea which states are the five most populous in the United States? Well, I’ll help you out there. The five most populous states, with population figures, are California, with almost 34 million; New York, with 21 million; Texas, with 19 million; and Florida, with 16 million; and Illinois with million people. Did you get all those figures down? Well, if not, I’ll give you a chance later to check your figures. Well, then, let’s move on. All told, over half, or some 58 percent of the population, lives in
