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, “Its 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 AnnouncementMay 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 SpeakingListeningTask 1: University LifeUniversity 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 arent around to say, “No, youre 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; thats where Im 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 Im sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I dont get home until early the next day1 My head hits the pillow and I dont move until Friday afternoon.1.new and different2. on his own3.a bit confused4.talk with5.sleep inTask 2: Listening effectivelyThough 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 goodgrades.  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.

Listening InTask 1: Yao MingI 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 64 or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy about 75 came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. We couldnt believe his size. And when he started hitting three-pointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the US didnt 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 hes going to have a real impact on the NBA.” 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.ATask 2: Physical exerciseMore 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 andfield 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 healthy2.energy3.sleep better4.different5.tastes and needs6. carefulTask 3: The tree was only three feet tallOne 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 AnnouncementGood 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 SpeakingListeningTask 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. Theres no government involvement in these leagues.1. popular 2. weekly 3. local clubs 4. big three 5. fan baseTask 2: The umbrellaA 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. Wont be back at all.”1. F 2.T 3.T 4.F 5.TUNIT3II. Listening SkillsUnderstanding Times and Dates1.

Listening InTask 1: A PictureI have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or Im 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 weve 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.BTask 2: Problem of Meeting PeopleAs 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 Im not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps Im 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, theres the cultural gap. Thats why its 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, “its easy to drop them, but its impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesnt 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 AnnouncementLadies 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 youre on time! Thank you.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: my friend saved meOne 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
