III. Listening In Task 1: Enrolling Good morning, everyone. I’d like to welcome you to City University. I’m Betty Russell and I work in the International Students’ Office. I have some important for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Them, you’ll need to pick up a library card so that you can borrow books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our school. There’s no charge for student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card. Concerning the medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students. 1.B 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.A Task 2: Living on Campus (M=man; W=woman) M: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus? W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact. M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus? W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before? M: No, this is the first time. W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus. M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown. W: But the commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time. M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day. W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while. M: True. 1. She thinks it’s easy to make friends. 2. It’s convenient to use the library, the labs, the sports center and many other facilities. 3. It’s near the shopping center. 4. They would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then it would take a lot of time to get home. 5. It seems all the same every day. Task 3: Which comes first, day or night? There was a student who wanted very much to gain admission to a study course. He was smart enough to get through the written test and appear for the personal interview. Since the boy answered all the questions correctly, the interviewer decided to corner him. “Tell me your choice,” said the interviewer to the boy. “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult. Which option would you prefer? Think before you make up your mind.” The boy thought for a while and said, “My choice is one rally difficult question.” “Well, you have made your own choice!” said the interviewer. “Tell me: Which comes first, day or night?” The boy was jolted first but he thought for a while and said, “It’s the day, sir.” “Why?” asked the interviewer. He was smiling. “Sorry, sir, but you promised me that you would only ask me one difficult question!” Admission to the course was thus secured. Task 4: An Announcement May I have your attention, please? The library will be closing in 5 minutes. Please make all final checkouts and prepare to leave. Thank you. VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening Task 1: University Life University life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed out I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HAVING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess I’m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don’t get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I don’t move until Friday afternoon. 1. new and different 2. on his own 3. a bit confused 4. talk with 5. sleep in Task 2: Listening effectively Though it makes up 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught subject.Listening?is?more?than?just?hearing:?It?requires?understanding.?In?an?educational?setting,? listening?effectively?is?critical.?Effective?listening?helps?us?do?our?assignments?well,?and?take? better notes.?Doing?these?activities?well?results?in?better?leaming?and,?most?of?the?time,?in?good grades.??In?a?professional.setting,?listening?is?also?critical.??When?you?receive?an?oral?message,? your?response?must?be?correct.?If?you?fail?to?listen?to??customers?or?clients,?you?may?lose?THEIR? business,?and?YOUR?job!??In?a?personal?setting,?listening?deepens?your?relationships.?When?we? listen?to?someone,?we?say?“You?are?important”?without?ever?speaking?a?word.When?we?fail?to? listen,?not?only?do?we?not?receive?the?message,?but?we?send?the?message?that?we?are?just?plain? dumb. 1.

But someone told me the number is likely to double this tear. Q: How many people are likely to enter for this year’s City Marathon? 1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.D III. Listening In Task 1: Yao Ming I first saw Yao Ming back in 1997. Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and get to know the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. They looked normal, most about 6’4’’ or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy about 7’5’’ came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. We couldn’t believe his size. And when he started hitting three-pointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the U’S’ didn’t believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was competing with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakers coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day he’s going to have a real impact on the NBA.” 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.A Task 2: Physical exercise More?and?more?people?today?are?realizing?the?importance?of?regular?physical?exercise.?Physical ?exercise?can?make?you?strong?and?healthy.?By?doing?some?form?of?physical?exercise?every?day,? your?level?of?energy?will?increase?and?you?will?sleep?better?at?night.?There?are?many?different? forms?of?physical?exercises?that?suit?different?tastes?and?needs?of?different?people.?Take?track?and field?events,?for?example.?Throwing?the?javelin?can?strengthen?your?arm?and?upper?body.?The?long?jump?and?high?jump?can?strengthen?your?legs.?Basketball,?football?and?volleyball?are?also?good? forms?of?exercise.?Be?careful?when?choosing?the?right?type?of?exercise?for?yourself.?If?your?heart?is?weak,?for?example,?you?should?start?with?some?light?exercise.?If?you?are?overweight,?know?your? limits.?In?a?word,?don't?overdo?it.? 1. strong and healthy 2. energy 3. sleep better 4. different 5. tastes and needs 6. careful Task 3: The tree was only three feet tall One day, a grandfather went golfing with his grandson. The young man was really good and the grandfather was just giving him tips. They were on Hole 8 and there was a tree in the way. The grandfather said, “When I was your age, I would hit the ball right over that tree.” So, the grandson hit the ball and it bumped against the tree and landed close to where it had started. “Of course,” added the grandfather, “when I was your age, the tree was only three feet tall.” Task 4: An Announcement Good afternoon everyone. The campus swimming pool will open next Thursday. Those interested in using this facility must have a physical checkup at the school health center. And then apply for a pool card at the PE Department. Come and take advantage of a great exercise opportunity! ? VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking Listening Task 1: Sports in the U.S. Sports are very important in the U.S. both for spectators and participants. Many people have jobs where they sit for most of the day, so when they have free time, they like to take part in more physical activities. Both team sports and individual activities are popular. Youth sports are played either in local clubs or for teams representing schools. Most major league sports recruit their players from college or high school teams. Specter sports are also a major part of American culture. Many Americans watch sports weekly, if not daily. Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheer on their local teams. Millions more choose to watch on TV and root from their own living rooms. On TV, American football, baseball and basketball are the most popular sports. Soccer has a long way to go before it is on the same level with the “big three”. Although there is some overlapping, football is played in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring and summer. American professional teams are privately owned and generally situated in major cities, so they have a large fan base to draw from. There’s no government involvement in these leagues. 1. popular 2. weekly 3. local clubs 4. big three 5. fan base Task 2: The umbrella A businessman entered a hotel and placed his umbrella in the stand. Before going upstairs, he tied a card to his umbrella. The card said: “N. B.—this umbrella belongs to a champion heavyweight boxer. Back in ten minutes.” In about 20 minutes he returned, but the umbrella was gone. The card, however, was still there. And on it someone had written: “P.S.—Umbrella's taken by a champion long-distance runner. Won’t be back at all.” 1. F 2.T 3.T 4.F 5.T UNIT3 II. Listening Skills Understanding Times and Dates 1. W: Oh, look at the clock. It’s 5:15. I’ll be late for Jennifer’s birthday party! I was supposed to leave at 5 o’clock. M: Don’t worry! You still have some time. The clock is twenty minutes fast. Q: What time is it now? 2. W: It’s 7:50, lazybones, and you’re going to be late for the meeting. M: God! I was sleeping like a dog. Well, I still have ten minutes. Q: When is the man’s meeting? 3. M: Thank you, Laura. We’d like to go to the barbecue with you. What time should we be there W: Some people are coming around 11:00, and we’re going to play badminton, but we won’t eat until around 12:30. Q: At what time are they going to eat? 4. M: I knew Dr. Smith’s birthday was October 26th, but I didn’t realize it was this Saturday. W: Let’s give him a surprise party. We could ask him to meet us at his office at 5, and then we could take him to dinner at the restaurant around 5:30. Q: What time does the woman suggest meeting Dr. Smith? 5. M: I just read that Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, when very little was understood about time and energy. W: Absolutely. But when he died on April 18, 1955, people knew a lot more, and nuclear power stations had been built. Q: When was Einstein born? 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.B III. Listening In Task 1: A Picture I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I’m worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time we’ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them, or a letter in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos. I often get e-mail with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties, and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch my first English speech contest. Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences, and has enriched the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation. 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.B Task 2: Problem of Meeting People As a foreign student, I have a number of problems, both academically and socially. The biggest one is meeting people. I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems from my studies, but I’m not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps I’m worrying unnecessarily, but I find it difficult to talk to them and to make friends. The primary reasons is the language barrier. My English is quite standard and forma, and although that helps me with my academic work, I have trouble understanding other students when they are just talking. It seems to me that in order to meet with other students I really need informal, colloquial English. Besides, there’s the cultural gap. That’s why it’s so difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other. I really want to overcome this difficulty. I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about course work that we share; and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee. Over coffee we could get to know each other. Another way would be to join a club, like a tennis club or a photo club, because that immediately gives you something in common with other people there. It gives you a starting point to build on. 1. He has both academic and social problems. 2. He fells confident about his ability to cope with his studies. 3. The language barrier is the main reason why he finds it hard to make friends with local students. 4. It is difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other because there is the cultural gap. 5. Te best way for the overseas students to actually overcome the difficulty of making friends with native English speaking students is to start talking about course work. Task 3: What destroys friendship? There was a community in which people were all good friends. They got on well and often helped each other. One day, a woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person concerned was deeply hurt and offended. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the damage. “Go to the marketplace,” he said, “buy a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road. “ although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, “Now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.” The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong. 1. The neighbor was deeply offended and hurt. 2. It was completely untrue. 3. To find out what she could do to repair the damage. 4. The wind had blown the feathers all away. 5. Once you do something wrong, you can never completely undo it. Task 4: An Announcement Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attentions, please? The Students Friendship Association will have an outing this Saturday. All members are requested to meet at the school gate at 6:40 a.m. the bus will leave at 7:00 sharp. Make sure you’re on time! Thank you. VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking Task 1: my friend saved me One day, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Robert. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?”??Then, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his book out of his arms. His glasses went flying. He looked up and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. As I handed his glasses, there was a big smile on his face. I helped him pick up his books. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. Monday morning came, and there was Robert with the huge stack of books again. Over the next four years, we became best friends. On graduation day, Robert gave a speech on behalf of the class. He said, “I am here to tell you a story.” I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself that weekend. He talked of how he was
