Task 1 Internet safety for youngsters

The increasing popularity of social networking sites and mobile phone texting has presented society with problems in how to protect children online. More and more youngsters are becoming victims of internet bullies. Parents are finding it more difficult to ensure their kids are safe online. Gone are the days when mom and dad could keep an eye on their children’s surfing on the Internet. Today’s new mobile and networked world poses new and dangerous threats to online kids. About one-third of all teenagers who use the Internet say they have been targets of a range of annoying and potentially menacing online activities---such as receiving threatening message; having their private e-mails or text messages forwarded without consent; having an embarrassing picture posted without permission; or having rumors about them spread online. However, the most common complaint from online teens is not direct threats or physical violence, but rather it sis about private information being shared. Two recent initiatives aim to teach children about cyber-safety. Internet safety will soon be taught in high schools. In Indiana, parents will attend an Internet Social Networking conference. The school authorities are launching a program aimed at educating students on how to use the Interne safely and avoid suspicious websites. A government official said:

“Advances in instant communication media, including Twitter, Face book, and other instant messaging services, are affecting our modern society. Parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, and children alike will need to understand the dangers the connected world present.”The Indiana conference will explore topics like cyber-bullying, sexting, and online child exploitation. A local lawyer said: “The No. 1 way to keep children safe is for them to be skeptical. If they do not believe automatically what people tell them, they will be safer.”

Questions

1.According to the passage, what is true of parents when their children

are surfing on the Internet?

2.Which of the following is the most common complaint from online

teens?

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a topic the Indiana

conference will explore?

4.According to the local lawyer, what is the most important thing for

children to be safe online?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

Key: 1. B 2. A 3. C 4. C 5. D

Task 2 Nursing home abuse

In the United States, families turn to nursing homes to give the elderly care and attention, but many nursing homes have been cited for abuse.

According to a review of state inspection records requested by Republican Henry Waxman, some 5,283 nursing homes were cited for abuse violation. These homes were cited for nearly 9,000 abuse violations in the past two years.

“We found examples of residents being punched, choked, or kicked by staff members or other residents,” Waxman said.

The story of Helen Smith reported by CBS News last year is a shocking reality for thousands of old Americans. She was attacked by a certified nursing assistant at a nursing home, who was angered because she’d soiled herself. “He choked me and broke my wrist,” said Smith.

Helen Smith died two days after her interview. That nurse assistant got a year in the county jail and a CBS News investigation found that three other employees at the same nursing home had been fined for abuse, which should have barred them from nursing home work.

The nursing home industry agrees on the need for stiffer background checks, but disagrees abuse is widespread. “Abuse is not the norm in nursing homes, and many staff members deserve praise,”said Carol Sellers, vice president of Washington Home, a nearly 200-bed center in the District of Columbia.

“The great majority of long-term care in our nation is excellent. There’re people every day that are working very hard to provide that care,” said Charles Roadman, president of the American Health Care Association. To

deal with nursing home abuse, Bruce Brown, spokesman for the American Association of Homes and Service for the Aging said, “We strongly believe nursing homes that exhibit consistently poor performance should either clean up their act or be put out of business. Questions:

1.According to a review of state inspection records, how many nursing

homes were cited for abuse in the U.S.?

2.What did the certified nursing assistant at a nursing home do to Helen

Smith?

3.How many employees had been fined for abuse at the nursing home

where Helen Smith lived?

4.What did the nursing home industry say about abuse?

5.What did the American Association of Homes and Services for the

Aging say about the nursing homes with poor records?

Key:

1. C

2. D

3. C

4. B

5. C

Task 3. Battling poverty

Today I’ll be presenting a report on our findings on the conditions of the world’s population. If may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on less than two dollars a day, and a billion people live on less than one dollar a day.

I’m going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issues. We

must work fast if we hope to reduce poverty by half, by the year 2015. Our survey shows the first step should be to improve health care systems. In the world’s poorest countries, people are expected to live just 49 years. On in 10 children doesn’t reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor health care systems, especially pregnant women.

The second job we have to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. We have found that when given a choice, poor people in developing countries have fewer children than their parents did. A possible reason for this is probably that smaller families have fewer expenses and more chances of increasing economic growth. They have had higher productivity, more savings and more investments. Obviously we must encourage family planning and lower birth rates.

Now, here is the third measure we must take: Promote education in developing countries. Investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated woman have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. Moreover, they tend to send their children to good schools so that they can climb the social ladder.

Well, any questions? None? On. Now I’ll talk about the forth step we need to take …

Key:

1. 49

2. first birthday

3. health care systems

4. reduce

5. expense

6. increasing

7. lower

8. faster

9. education 10. reduce poverty 11. more opportunities 12. live better

13. social ladder

Part 5 Further listening and speaking

Task 1 How to solve employment?

M: I have a meeting with my accountant tomorrow morning. She’s preparing my income tax return, and I need to go over some of the receipts with her.

W: Income tax return! Don’t you think the government just squanders our hard-earned tax money on some unnecessary projects?

M: Sure. Sometimes they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don’t mind paying taxes. If I’m paying income tax, it means I’m earning money. I’d rather be earning money than living on charity.

W: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lower.

M: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the situation is complex: Sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.

W: Then they should take the needed training--- upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable.

M: Training costs money. Some government tax dollars are directed to programs that help the poor get jobs.

W: But even when jobs are available, some of the unemployed don’t want to work. They would rather have a handout.

M: These people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they were not dependant on charity.

W: I think the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would put more money into people’s pockets, then they would spend more, and spending would create more jobs for the poor. M: Many people would agree with you.

1.What can we infer from the man’s words about his income tax return?

2.What are the attitudes of the man and the woman toward poor,

unemployed people?

3.What does paying income tax mean to the man?

4.What does the woman think is useful to help the unemployed get jobs?

Task 2. Why buy lottery tickets?

Charles: Did you hear? Next week’s lottery will be 28 million dollars! You got your ticket yet?

Joan: I don’t buy lottery tickets, and I don’t gamble in other ways, either. Lottery tickets are just another way of taxing the poor.

Charles: What do you mean by that?

Joan: Many of the big spenders on lottery tickets are poor. They are spending money they can’t afford to spend.

Charles: I just buy the lottery tickets for fun. You know … the first prize is a huge amount, and if I won, it would be exciting.

Joan: You don’t need the money to enjoy life, so for you it’s a game. But when the poor buy lottery tickets, it is often out of desperation. Charles: If they can’t afford it, they shouldn’t buy the tickets.

Joan: But the thrill of a win, of something for nothing, is also addictive, and many people are addicted to gambling.

Charles: You must be right. Casinos are opening everywhere, and many people go on gambling on holidays --- you can even take a gambling cruise.

Joan: Imagine being an ocean cruise and spending all your time indoors bent over a card table or a roulette wheel.

Charles: Maybe there should be some programs to help people overcome their gambling addictions, something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. Joan: There’s indeed an online program that can help. But nobody can force gamblers to join it. They must first want to be cured themselves. Key:

1.She thinks many of the big spenders on lottery tickets are poor; they

spend money they can’t afford to spend.

2.He just buys lottery tickets for fun. He thinks if he won a huge amount,

it would be exciting.

3.They buy lottery tickets out of desperation. Also the thrill of a win, of

something for nothing is addictive.

4.Casinos are opening everywhere, many people go on gambling on

holidays, and one can even take a gambling cruise.

5.It will be helpful for habitual gamblers only when they want to be

cured themselves.

Task 3 Held back because I speak Spanish!

I was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL --- classes of English as a second language. I was also put in the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all those classes, I always got the highest grades.

I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes.

When my parents discovered that I was in those classes instead of regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESL classes, but the school fought very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why --- for every student the school had in the ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive $400. This was pretty devastating. The school’s only excuse for keeping me there was because I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the

ESL and Limited English Proficiency Program until I was the fifth grade. Then my parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced it. So I didn’t have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too “Spanish” for them.

While attending secondary school, Engelbreit sold dozens of hand-drawn cards to a local shop for 25 cents a piece—her first venture into art and commerce. A later job as a designer at an advertising agency "taught me about the business of art". In 1975 Engelbreit met social worker Phil Delano, and the couple married two years later.

I am happy not simply for winning, but for winning honestly, loving to compete and working the hardest for the longest time. The festival ending the games is something to remember. It isn’t complete without the hugs. One event volunteer while hugging and handing out sweatshirts to some of the athletes held up his thumbs an d said, ”All of these athletes are super! I can’t go anywhere around here without getting a hug. I pray for more of this sort of thing. I hope that the spirit with which they have competed might touch the whole world. Watching these young people blossom ov er the past week has truly touched my life. ” At the end of the festival, the vice mayor for the city of Shanghai, which will host the 2007 summer games, accepted the flag for the Special Olympics pledging that “the city of Shanghai would open its arms to the world and to the Special Olympics”.
