Inside View

Conversation 1

Janet: Hi, it’s me again, Janet Li. I’m still a student at the University of Oxford in England. But I’m not in Oxford right now. And I haven’t gone back home to China either. It’s the long vacation now, and believe it or not, it’s the middle of summer. I’m spending my summer in one of the world’s greatest cities. I’m in London, home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge…and the double-decker bus. I want to find out what it’s like to live in this busy, livel y city. So I’m working for London Time Off, a website about what’s on in London. This is Joe…, he’s my boss, and this is Andy, who is a reporter. And what’s my job? Well, I don’t know yet, because it’s my first day. But I’m meant to be shadowing Andy, oh, what I mean is, I’m going to be helping him. So can you tell me something about London, Andy?

Andy: It’s t he greatest city in the world.

Joe: Except for New York!

Andy: New York? Don’t make me laugh!

Joe: And your point is…?

Andy: Look, if you want my op inion, London is greater than New York…

Joe: No, I don’t want your opinion, thank you very much. It’s a fact.

Andy: A fact! Are you serious?

\Janet: And here we are in London, probably the greatest city in the world.

Andy: What? Probably? Excuse me, I pref er to deal with this myself…

Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy………

Conversation 2

Janet：So when did you start working at London Time Off?

Andy: About a year ago.

Janet: And I hope you don’t mind my asking, but do you like working here?

Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get along quite well. He drives me crazy

sometimes, because he’s my boss, and I wish I earned a bit more money, but…I think my job is really cool, because I get to see everything that’s happening in London. And I didn’t want to join the rat ra ce.

Janet: What do you mean by the rat race?

Andy: You know, doing the same thing day in day out, and not doing anything creative, or having any time to enjoy life. It’s the last thing I want to do. Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do exactly?

Andy: Basically, we check out new events on the London music scene, you know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as well as exhibitions in galleries and museums. Then we go and film interviews with the musicians or the actors, or anyone who has anything to do with the event.

Janet: Ok, then what happens?

Andy: We edit the interviews, and then we upload it all onto the website. We get 200,000 hits a week. We’re London’s biggest listings site.

Janet: Can I ask you something else?

Andy: Fire away.

Janet: What are we going to do now?

Andy: I need to go back to my flat, and get my research. Then we’ve got an interview to do. Let’s get the tube back to my place.

Janet: And what about Joe?

Andy: Well, he’s supposed to be on his way to the National Theatre, to do a n interview with the director of a new play. But I kind of hope he gets lost on the way. Then he’ll discover what a great place London is.

Janet: I don’t understand.

Andy: I’m joking! Come on, let’s go!

Outside view

Presenter:Happiness is not what most students have in mind when they think of school. Yet a school in Germany has developed a novel way to raise the

morale of its students, by teaching happiness in classes. Students at

Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics are learning how to

achieve happiness as an official subject, alongside mathematics and

languages. This is the first school in Germany to develop a happiness

course, intended for 17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university entrance

exams. Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school’s princip al, is on a mission to

change things.

Ernst: It was my idea –I’ve been at this schoo l for 31 years, and I feel that school and happiness have to be reunited. These are two terms which are not

considered together, because one does not connect school with happiness.

In some cases school comes behind the dentists on the popularity scale and

we should try to push schools’ popularity a bit.It has been proved by

science that a happy student can learn more than an unhappy one, Unhappy

students can concentrate for a while but do not use all their potential. The

happiness classes are intended to help students fulfill their potential. They

will help the students live happy and prosperous lives.

Presenter: The classes aim to help students in achieving a positive state of mind, by using all their own resources and boosting their self-esteem. In addition,

they hope classes will increase self-awareness and physical comfort.

Happiness classes are also intended to make students more aware about

their environment and society as a whole. During classes students are

encouraged to express themselves and observe their peers’ behavior. The

classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor and visiting lecturer.

Bjoern Bonn: One of the exercises I do is to have one of the students walk across the classroom, with the others copying his walk. Through this exercise, I hope

they learn something about themselves. Why do I move like this? How do

others see my way of walking? I hope that with a higher body awareness

they ideally –of course it will take time-achieve a higher self-consciousness

which could lead to happiness.

Wolfgang: We give these classes to students to help them find happiness. Now the

question is: How do I define happiness? Happiness is for example a

strengthening of the personality. We are providing helpful suggestions to

make stronger people. People that ask “Who am I as a person? Am I really

happy?”

Pascal: It takes time and everybody has to find happiness for themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson and say teach me happiness. One can only

get indications from teachers or the visiting lecturers. There are also

happiness scientists, if we could talk to one of those, I am sure he would

have some hints.

Yosma: You would think that the teachers are writing definitions on the board. Not true. Those who want happiness have to find it for themselves, you cannot

really learn that.

Presenter: So what does it take to be happy and can you learn it at school?

Listening in

Passage one

Interviewer: Can you tell me…how do you think you have changed as you have matured? What things have had a major influence on you?

Speaker 1: Well, let me think…I suppose going to university had a big impact on my life. It made me much more open-minded. I met so many different

types of people there with weird and wonderful ideas and it changed the

way I see the world. I’m much more tolerant now… It made me a more

rounded person.

Interviewer: Great…and had any particular person had a central role in forming your character?

Speaker 1: I guess tha t’d have to be my grandfather. I was very close to him, and he taught me to stand up for my beliefs. He was always telling me about

this…

Interviewer: So what people or events have had an impact on your life?

Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year made me grow up and see both the

beauty of the world and, well…just the generosity of ordinary people. I

traveled a lot around Asia and you know, I found that in some of the

poorest countries, like Cambodia and Laos, people share whatever little

they have, and they possess a real joy for life. It’s probably made me a

less selfish person.

Interviewer: Interesting…So you would recommend that young people take a gap year to discover themselves and the world?

Speaker 2: Definitely. It gives you an opportunity to learn about the world beyond the one you grew up in and I found it really…

Interviewer: Could you tell me what things in your life have had the greatest influence in forming your personality?

Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years ago I was on a reality TV show where a group of young people all lived in a house together. Each week some one was

voted off by the audience. I got down to the final three! I suppose being

on the show and seeing how the other contestants behaved made me

realize how selfish and spiteful some people can be just to get what they

want. I also realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If you pretend to

be someone different people will eventually see through the lies. Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when you were eventually voted off? Speaker 3: Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know…a slight regret that I didn’t win because I kind of…

Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one thing do you think that has had the biggest impact on your life?

Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s a diffi cult question. But I think helping victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very great impact on me. I’m half Thai and I’d just arrived

in Thailand for a family Christmas holiday. When I heard the news I

knew I had to help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting a s an interpreter

for a group of volunteer doctors. It was an incredibly difficult time but

you know, even in the middle of such a horrific tragedy there is still a

huge amount of genuine human kindness.

Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has it changed the way you view your future…

Passage two

Tony: Talking to us today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson, an academic counselor at Manchester University. She gives advice to school students on

choosing the right subject to study at university. Joan, welcome to the show. Joan: Thanks Tony.

Tony: So Joan, what do our listeners need to think about when choosing a course? It’s

a huge, potentially life-changing decision, isn’t it?

Joan: Yes. I generally give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know yourself, and secondly, think to the future.

Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you mean?

Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your own personal strengths and weaknesses, your personality traits and the things you like.

Tony: I see…So how can our liste ners do this?

Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions to help reflect on your life so far. For example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an organized and self-disciplined person? Are you confident and outgoing? Do you like working with others in a team or do you prefer working alone? These kinds of questions will help you discover more about yourself.

Tony: Sounds like good advice. How about your second point regarding the future? Joan: Well, your choice of major subject is likely to have a significant impact on your future career so it’s important to look into this carefully. I recommend you

check not only which academic subjects will help you get into a particular area of work, but also look carefully at what universities offer. Each university has

its strengths so try to choose one that is the best in your chosen field. Find out what links the department has to related industries and leading companies in it. Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take some calls from our listeners. First up we have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we help?

James: Hi. I’m interested in career in IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether she thinks it’s better to go to a highly respected university, like Oxford, or to study

somewhere that has more of a vocational focus?

Joan: Well, James, you know it really depends on what you expect to get out of a university and how you see your future. Basically a handful of the brightest

graduates are picked from the top universities around the world to join the

leading IT companie s. So I’d say if you’re a high-flyer then this is the route that might be for you. But if you are looking for a more mainstream career then you should consider a course that helps you acquire practical, transferable skills that you can use in the workplace…and look at which universities have the best

levels of graduate recruitment for the kind of job you are aiming for. James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps me out…

Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) In a mental asylum. 2) He was a member of a committee which went there to show concern for the pertinents there. 3) They were cants behaving like humans. 4) He was injured in a bus accident and became mentally ill. 5) He spent the rest of his life in comfort. 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, but wanted to humour her. The first editor he approached shared his lack of enthusiasm. "Whoever would want to see a picture of a cat?" he asked, and Louis Wain put the drawings away. A year or two later he showed them to the editor of The Illustrated London News, who suggested a picture of a cats' Christmas party across two full pages. Using his old sketches of Peter, Louis Wain produced a picture containing about a hundred and fifty cats, each one different from the rest. It took him a few days to draw, and it made him world famous. For the next twenty-eight years he drew nothing but cats. He filled his house with them, and sketched them in all their moods. There was nothing subtle about his work. Its humour simply lay in showing cats performing human activities; they followed every new fashion from sea bathing to motoring. He was recognized, somewhat flatteringly, as the leading authority on the feline species. He became President of the National Cat Club and was eagerly sought after as a judge at cat shows. Louis Wain's career ended abruptly in 1914, when he was seriously injured in a

If it had not been for your help and encouragement, I am afraid that I would not have made remarkable progress in English throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that my success in entering college is attributed in great part to your guidance and encouragement. It was you who motivated me to study hard and brought home to me the importance of mastering English to my future achievement. Moreover, not only did you help me find out a feasible way to improve my English, but you also made plans and set goals to achieve my full potential in learning English. Again, many thanks for all the things you have done for me. May everything go well with you. Sincerely yours, Part IV Translation Wuzhen is an ancient water town in Zhejiang Province, located on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

B. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be! And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!

Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,”Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2
