Listening Strategy

Identifying Numbers

Numbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. The ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner. A good way is to practice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. It also helps to practice writing down the numbers you hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into Chinese. You're going to hear a passage about Michael Jordan, a retired American professional basketball player.

Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He was born on Feb.17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls team for the 1984 season. In the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score ever. He was named NBA Slam Dunk Champion(扣篮冠军)in 1987 and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1988, an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998. Jordan guided his team to win six NBA championships during the 1990s, scoring 45 points during the sixth and last game of the 1998 NBA finals. In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century. Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of the 1993-1994 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball. Since his baseball game wasn't quite as good as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the Bulls in 1995. Yet, after playing for five more years, he once again announced his retirement in 1999. But he returned for two more NBA games in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.

A Conversation

Why Don't You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?

Exercise 1

Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?

Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know. I try to go three times a week, but I'm busy so I can't always make it.

Peter: I know more women who work out than men. What's the main reason you work out? For your health, or to look good?

Laura: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration. Peter: If they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better, and not merely for health reasons.

Laura: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise?

Peter: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time but I never go to the gym like you do.

Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?

Peter: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV.

Laura: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.

Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.

Laura: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime? I can get you a guest pass.

Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.

Listening Strategy

Listening "Between the Lines"

People do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen "between the lines". The English language offers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says "I have an essay to write" in answer to an invitation to go somewhere, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. And if someone says "Andrew passed with flying colors" in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom "to pass with flying colors" that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. For example, "He is very clever" said with an ironic tone means just the opposite. You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.

Listen carefully and write down "Yes" or "No" to each of the following questions.

1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate?

W: Yes, many times.

Whenever my friends come to visit me, I'll take them there to eat.

2. W: Is there something wrong, sir?

M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal.

3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?

M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?

4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.

M: Next to beef.

5. M: Have you tried this wine before?

W: No, never. It's my first time, but it's really to my taste.

6. W: John, do you want a soda?

M: Soda? I think it tastes like medicine.

7. W: Why, the fish is left almost untouched.

M: Well, it would be good if it were less salty.

8. M: Hi, Sue, would you like to eat out tonight?

W: Oh, I'd really like to, but my sister may come to visit me this evening..

A Conversation

What About Dining Out?

Exercise 1

Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.

Peter: Hi, Kate.

Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been?

Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?

Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?

Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask. Do you have any plan for this Saturday?

Kate: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?

Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?

Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?

Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much lately.

Kate: Me too.

Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.

Kate: Chinese food would be good.

Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.

Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.

Peter: That's fine by me.

Unit 3 Weather

Part A

Listening Strategy

Listening for Important Details

Besides understanding the main idea of a listening text, we often find it necessary to grasp the important details as well. What counts as important details depends on the kind of information we want. Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. In listening to a weather report, on the other hand, the important details we should watch out for are the current weather conditions, temperature, and weather outlook. You're going to hear two short passages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in note form.

Then complete the exercises in your book.

1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. There will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy

showers moving in from the west.

2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday. The storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m. The winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.

A Conversation

Did You Hear the Forecast?

Exercise 1

Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

Alan: Oh, look at the sky, Michelle! It's starting to get cloudy.

Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.

Alan: That's certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.

Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.

Alan: Yeah, sunshine — but not too much! Do you remember last year?

Michelle: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the sun.

Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. And then we dozed off.

Michelle: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off.

Alan: But there wasn't. Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.

Michelle: Well, we don't have that problem this year, apparently.

Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?

Alan: I don't know. I didn't catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.

Questions

1. What are Alan and Michelle mainly doing?

2. What do you know about Alan?

3. What can you infer from the conversation?

Speaking Tasks

Conversation 1

A: What lovely weather we're having! Nice and cool.

B: Yeah, I really like this kind of weather.

A: What's the temperature today？

B: The high is 26 and the low is 20. The weather forecast says the good weather is likely to last, too.

A: I hope so.

Conversation 2

A: It seems to be clearing up. All the dark clouds are gone and the sun is coming out.

B: Yes. Let's just hope it stays this way. I hate rainy days.

A: I think it will continue to be fine for the next few days. Anyhow, that's what the weatherman says.

B: That's great. Let's go for a walk, shall we？

A: All right.

Conversation 3

A: It's hot and humid, isn't it? I can hardly breathe.

B: Yeah. I feel suffocating too.

A: Are summers always this hot here? It's almost like in the desert.

B: Yes, especially in July and August.

A: Well, what did the weatherman say?

B: He said another heat wave is on the way.

A: Oh no! I hope not.

B: How about going out to the beach to cool off？

A: Good idea. Maybe it's the only place for this sort of weather.

Listening Strategy

Listening for Signal Words

The ability to identify signal words can help us follow the thread of the speaker's thought. People often use signal words or phrases like "but", "therefore" and "as a result" to add a comment that contrasts with what has just been said or to signal what they are about to say is the result or cause of their previous remarks. Similarly, words and phrases like "for example", "most importantly", "first", "second", "finally" and "then" usually signal that the speaker is going to provide an illustration or emphasize a certain point or discuss several aspects of a certain topic. So we should pay attention to signal words in listening as they will prepare us for what is going to be said. You're going to hear four short passages.

Listen carefully and write down the signal word(s) in each passage. Then choose a, b, c or d to indicate the function of the signal word(s) used in each of the passages.

1. Most people like music. In fact, we are surrounded by it. It's on the radio and television and can be heard in stores and restaurants. However, not everyone likes the same kind of music.

2. The manager of the music shop was called Brian Epstein. Because so many people had asked for a record by the Sun, Epstein decided to go and listen to the group himself.

3. Firstly I would like to talk about classical music and its representative composers, then I will move on to jazz music, and finally I will focus on pop music in the last century.

4. We listen to exciting music and our hearts beat faster, our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. In short, we're stimulated.

[ti:Unit 4 Part B]

Listening Tasks

A Passage

Background Music

Exercise 1

Listen to the passage. As you listen, read the signal words in your book and put a tick () in the brackets after the ones you have heard.

Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music. To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving — unless, of course,the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.

Questions

1. Where was recorded background music first used?

2. What was the original purpose of background music?

3. What kind of music can have a powerful effect on customers in shops?

4. Why doesn't the same kind of music work in restaurants according to the passage?

A: Who's your favorite singer then?

B: Sarah Brightman, undoubtedly. I do admire her, you know. I love all her songs.

A: I like her, too, but not that much.

Conversation 2

A: Do you care for opera?

B: Yes, I do, very much.

A: Which do you like better, opera or musical?

A: Oh, lucky you!

Conversation 3

A: Do you enjoy listening to music?

B: Yes, very much. I enjoy listening to music more than any other pastime.

A: What's your favorite music?

B: It depends. When I am in a good mood, I'd prefer something exciting, with a fast rhythm. But if I feel low, I can only listen to something soft and quiet.

A: Mm, me too.

[ti:Unit 4 Part C]

Test Your Listening

Listen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.

Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had composed the song "It Was Only a Dream". Her mother and brother helped her to make a recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first conquest, but there would be millions more. Celine's rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been steady, but not without difficulties. Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albums

won a great success. And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in France. In 1990, Celine made her first English language record with Unison but her real breakthrough in America came when she was selected by Disney to sing the theme song of Beauty and the Beast. The song went to No.1 on the chart and won both a Grammy and an Academy award. In 1996 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and in 1997 she recorded the theme song for Titanic, and her name became synonymous with the enormously successful film. Celine Dion's favorite theme is love. She sings the depth and the power of love in a great many of her hits such as "Love Can Move Mountains", "Because You Loved Me", "The Power of Love" and, of course, the theme song of Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On".

Identifying the Relationship Between the Speakers in a Conversation Identifying the relationship between the speakers in a conversation is an important skill in listening comprehension. Although sometimes the conversation itself does not contain words that say exactly what the relationship is, we can rely on contextual clues to find it out. Such clues include the degree of intimacy (e.g., how intimately the speakers address each other, what endearments are used), the degree of politeness (strangers tend to be more polite towards each other than friends or family members), and the particular situation (at a doctor's consulting room, at a shop, etc.).

Listen to the following conversations and choose the right answers to the questions that follow the conversations.

1. M: What's the trouble?

W: I feel dizzy and my whole body aches.

M: How long have you been sick?

W: Two or three days now.

M: How's your appetite?

W: I've got no appetite. The sight of food simply turns my stomach. What's wrong with me?

M: You seem to be generally run-down.

Q: What is the mnost probable relationship between the two speakers?

2. W: What's the matter, Jack? You look pale.

M: Oh, I feel terrible.

W: Why? What's the matter?

M: I have a splitting headache and a sore throat.

W: Why didn't you tell me?

M: I thought they might go away, but I feel worse this morning. I'm aching all over.

W: Hmm. You feel warm, too. You must have got a fever. There's a pretty bad flu going around, you know.

D: So what's your trouble?

P: Well, doctor, I haven't been feeling well lately. My biggest problem is that I'm having trouble sleeping.

D: Have you tried any of the sleeping medications available?

P: I've tried one or two, but they don't seem to help.

D: How long have you had this problem?

P: Three or four months — it's been rather a long time now.

D: Are you suffering from an unusual level of stress in your life lately?

P: Not more than usual. My biggest worry is the fact I can't sleep.

D: Well, some people don't need as much sleep as others.

P: But I feel tired all day, so it is a problem for me.

D: Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?

P: I've also had a lot of indigestion lately.

D: Well, you are a little overweight, aren't you?

P: Yes. And I've gained about seven kilograms this past year.

D: You really should try to lose at least that extra weight. Do you get much exercise?

P: No, not very much.

D: Physical activity is very important.

P: So what do you recommend, doctor?

D: I will give you some medications for your insomnia and your indigestion. But I also recommend that you begin a regular exercise program.

P: But I have neither the time nor the money to go to a gym.

D: You don't need to go to a gym. A simple walking program would be very beneficial for you.

Identifying the Major Events in a Conversation

The ability to identify the major events of a conversation is an important aspect of training in listening comprehension. Here we are concerned with what the speakers are doing. Are they engaged in small talk to promote friendship, or discussing something serious to bring about an action? Questions like the following can give us a clue as to what is actually happening in a conversation: Who are the speakers? What is the relationship between them? What are they talking about?

Listen to the conversation and answer the questions.

W: Here we are, Mr. Wang. This is a newly-built building.

M: What a fine building! How many floors are there?

A Conversation

Who Is to Be Promoted?

Exercise 1

Listen to the conversation and answer the questions below.

(The Personnel Department is having a meeting. Joan Black is the chairperson of the meeting.) Joan: I think John Jeffrey's already been with the company for 20 years. Surely he's not still expecting promotion. Do you agree, Peter?

Peter: Well, in my opinion, John's always shown great loyalty to the company. It's time this was rewarded. What do you think, Clive?

Clive: It's not just a question of loyalty. Would he be any good at the job? He would need to manage a small team — he's got no experience of that yet.

Peter: He never will have any experience unless we give him a chance!

Joan: We can't afford to be sentimental. I don't think he's the man for the job. He's always been a follower, not a leader. Let's move on to the other candidates. Rita Hayden has already shown great personnel management skill, I feel, even if she's?

Peter: Oh, come on, Joan! Rita's still learning her trade! We can't afford to take a risk with someone so inexperienced.

Clive: I agree with Peter. I favor Susan Palmer. She's got a lot of experience. She's already worked in the department on other occasions so she knows the ropes and she's?

Joan: But Susan's always struck me as a bit cautious. We need someone dynamic for this job. Peter: I'd agree with Clive. I think Susan Palmer would do a good job. Maybe she's a bit cautious but she's solid, reliable... We need those qualities too.

Joan: Well, if you're both so sure, I suppose I'll have to agree. Still, we'll wait a week before confirming it just in case any other applicants put their names forward.

Listen to the story and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

Mr. Stevenson was the owner of a general appliance store. He had seen many newly-weds coming into his store to shop for their first refrigerator, washer and dryer, and air-conditioner. Pen and pencil in hand, they would ask him a lot of questions about price, features and after-sale services, but they would usually walk away at the end of their inquiry. The other day a young couple came into his store. They asked him all the usual questions and he answered all of them patiently. But when he suggested an order at the end, they replied firmly, "We'll have to look

around places first." Although feeling a bit disappointed, Mr. Stevenson did not show it. Instead, he smiled, moved closer and said, "I know you will go to Discount Dan to look at the price tags. That's perfectly understandable. I do the same. In fact, they sell the same stuff as we do. But if you buy things there, there is something you will not get, and that is me.I come with everything I sell. I've been in the business for thirty years and in a few years' time I'm going to give my store to my daughter and son-in-law. I hope they will carry on the family business. I stand behind everything I sell and I will make sure that you will never regret buying things from me." After this short speech Mr. Stevenson offered the young couple some ice cream to thank them for their interest. Impressed by his honesty and sincerity, the young couple decided to place an order.

Questions

1. What did Mr. Stevenson's store sell?

2. Why did many newly-weds usually walk away at the end of their inquiry?

3. Which of the following best describes Mr. Stevenson's attitude towards his customers?

4. What was Mr. Stevenson's response to the young couple's refusal?

Summarizing (1) In listening to a conversation, a talk or a lecture, it is not necessary to remember every word. The important thing is to be able to grasp the main points. Summarizing, as the skill is known, is useful in helping us to get to the core of what is being said. Listen to the conversation and make a summary of its main points.

M: Excuse me, do you have a T-shirt of this kind in a larger size?

W: What size do you want?

M: Medium.

W: Pardon?

M: I want a medium.

W: Here's a medium in black. Do you like it?

M: Well, I like the picture on the front, but I'd prefer a white one with a slogan on the front.

W: Here's a white one in medium. And it's 100% cotton.

A Passage

Fashion — Image or Reality?

Exercise 1

Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

Why do people spend so much money on fashion? Do they want to create an image or make sure they are not old-fashioned? Do people really judge each other by the clothes they wear? The billion-dollar fashion industry certainly tries to convince consumers that such judgements are made. Unfortunately, they may be right. A recent study using elementary school students was interesting. They said that people wearing Calvin Klein designer jeans were more handsome and

successful than those wearing Wranglers. Levi-wearers were seen as sporty, fashionable and fun! Obviously we learn early that "Clothes make the man." In other words, clothes show age, outlook, status and income. However, clothes that look great on professional models may look terrible on the average buyer. Although beautiful clothes don't help physically, they are important for social and psychological effects. Expensive clothes can make the wearer feel like part of the high status group that sets taste and style. So you are buying an image of success. You may really live a routine life, waking up in the morning feeling dull and ordinary. But when you dress in these expensive clothes, your mood brightens. You feel good, ready to face another day with energy. Sound crazy? People who love clothes say it's true. Of course, a lot of people don't like high fashion. They'd rather spend their money on something practical. Which would you prefer — the image or the reality?

Questions

1. What is the main reason why people spend much money on fashion according to the speaker?

2. What does "Clothes make the man" mean in the passage?

3. What's the speaker's attitude towards fashion?

M: Thank you very much.

W: I think I'll buy one just like that for my dad. His birthday is coming soon.

M: I'm sure he'll like it.

W: Thank you. I'm glad you could come.

Listen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.

Vera Wang has become a significant figure in the American fashion industry in a relatively short period of time. She has no formal design training because her father wouldn't let her go to art school and wanted her to concentrate on more "practical subjects". After earning a degree in liberal arts, Vera worked as an editor at Vogue for 17 years and as a design director of Ralph Lauren for two years. In 1990 she opened her first boutique on Madison Avenue in New York, in a less expensive line of ready-to-wear bridal and evening dresses. She chose bridal wear for she wanted to build a fashion company starting with one market and then expand into others.

She became a household name in 1994 when she designed stylish costumes for figure skater Nancy Kerrigan to wear in the Winter Olympics. Vera Wang herself is a very good skater and she had Olympic dreams too. But that dream was crushed when she did not win at the National Figure Skating Championships in 1968. However, her love for the sport never ceased. "I wanted to make an artistic contribution to the sport," she said. "I don't know if designing costumes for Nancy has been good in terms of actual sales, but it has been tremendous for name recognition."

Listening Strategy

Summarizing (2) Good listeners, after listening to a text, will form in their minds a short report of its main points. This report is a summary, which covers the main idea, major events, and important details such as numbers, names, and places. To work out the main points of a text, one of the important things to notice is the change of the subtopic (a text usually has one topic and several subtopics). In other words, during the listening, listeners need to pay attention to when the speaker moves from one subtopic to another. And then they should go on to catch those related important details under each subtopic. Thus a summary of the listening text can easily be formed. The passage you are going to listen to contains 9 recommendations to keep you happy. Listen twice and write down the first sentence of each recommendation. Some have already been done for you. Do you want to know the secret of happiness? Just listen to psychology professor David G. Myers. He analyzed hundreds of studies from around the world to determine how important friendships, money and other things are to our happiness. Here's what he recommends. Don't expect money to buy you happiness. The actual amount of money people earn has little effect on how happy they feel. What does count is how satisfied they are with their income. Enjoy the moment. Happiness comes from little things that happen every day, rather than occasional great pieces of good fortune. Learn to like yourself. "Studies show that people with healthy self-esteem are less weak to setbacks and struggles," said Dr. Myers, author of "The Pursuit of Happiness". Self-esteem grows out of achieving realistic goals. Take occasional days of rest. Spend hours enjoying quiet time alone. Put on a happy face — even if you don't feel happy. Smiling can actually make you feel better, according to Dr. Myers of Hope College of Michigan. Exercise. Aerobic exercise, such as walking, biking, swimming and running works as an antidote for mind depression and anxiety.

Get enough sleep to feel rested. Build close relationships. The best remedy for unhappiness is a caring nurturing friendship. And if you're married, a good relationship with your spouse can be especially important.

A Passage

Lottery Winners

Exercise 1

Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.

Do you dream of winning the lottery? Millions of people do. Every day, millions of Americans buy lottery tickets. They are hoping to win $100,000, $1,000,000 or more. What happens after you win the lottery? When you win a million dollars, you don't receive a check for the total amount. You may choose to receive $50,000 a year for twenty years. Also, you must pay taxes. After taxes, you receive from $25,000 to $40,000 a year for twenty years. This is a lot of extra spending money. What have some people done with their money? Let's look at three past winners. Lisa K wanted to be an artist, but she didn't have enough money to go to art school. She was working at a job she didn't enjoy. In August, Lisa bought one ticket and won two million dollars. She quit her job three weeks later and is now attending art school. Mark L was a car salesman. He worked seven days a week and had little time for family life. After he won the lottery, he quit working. Now he spends his time bowling, working in the garden, and fixing things in his house. But, he's bored. He doesn't want to sell cars again, but he isn't sure what he wants to do with his life. Jack B is one of the small number of winners who did not quit their jobs. Jack still teaches at a school near his home. But now he and his wife take their children on an interesting vacation every year. And they don't worry about sending their children to college. They say that money brings security and gives a person opportunities, but it doesn't bring happiness. Questions

1. If you win a million dollars, how much can you get before tax?

2. If you win a million dollars, how much can you get after tax annually?

3. What did Lisa K do after she won the lottery?

4. What did Mark L do after he won the lottery?

5. What did Jack B do after he won the lottery?

6. What is the main idea of the passage?

(Professor Anderson, an economic expert, is being interviewed on TV by Betty Lee, a talk show hostess. The following is part of the interview.)

Betty: What do you think of the economy of our city?

Anderson: Well, judging from the statistics I've seen recently, I think our economy is doing very well. Production is growing steadily, and the income of the majority of the people is rising. Betty: Do you think the economy will continue to grow for the next two quarters?

Anderson: As I see it, we are heading for an economic boom, and there's no reason why it shouldn't.

Betty: But what about the unemployment rate? Isn't it on the rise too?

Anderson: I'm glad you raised that question. It is true that unemployment has risen in certain sectors of the economy. But the point is a great many new jobs have also been created.

Betty: I see your point. Thank you very much, professor, for being here.

A healthy newborn girl was discovered in Central Park yesterday morning. The baby was abandoned on the top of a rock shortly before dawn after the mother gave birth to her there. The police said that the baby was healthy and weighed 7 pounds. Now they were searching for the mother. A policeman said that they had never had anything like this before. They really didn't get babies left in the park. But they were just happy the baby was all right. The police rushed the baby to a nearby hospital. Fortunately she was OK. The police believed the baby was born less than half an hour before she was discovered. They also believed, judging from the amount of blood found on the rock, that the mother might have given birth there. It was 70 degrees when the baby was found. Detectives were investigating whether the mother was a homeless woman who called a baby rescue hotline early yesterday. The head of Hope Foundation said that his hotline received a call about 5:30 a.m. from a young homeless woman in Manhattan. The caller asked, "How do I get rid of my baby?" She was apparently in labor. Then she was told to go to either a hospital or a fire station. But the woman was afraid she would be recognized there.
