Unit1I am now a fourth-year student at college, but I can never forget my freshman year here. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.College is a lot different from high school. Your freshman experience will definitely make an impression on you. So, what can you expect as you head off into the wonderful world of higher education? The first thing youll notice is the workload. It will be heavier than you ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are the large amount of reading and writing, and the short deadlines. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and possibly loneliness. Youll be away from the comforts and friendships your home provided for you over the previous years.During the freshman year, youll be making a lot of new friends. But you should continue to be yourself. Select your friends with the same care and patience you have always shown. Believe it or not, your college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term of your life. Its always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.Youll also be on your own youll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Dont waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career. Going to college is not just to get a degree it is to find out who you really are and what you are really made for.我现在四分之一岁的学生，但我永远不会忘记我的一年级在这里。在一般情况下，它是一个充满期待的时间，一些焦虑和精彩的发现。大学有许多不同于高中。你的大学新生一定会给你留下一个印象。那么，你能期待什么呢？当你进入美妙的高等教育界时，你会想到什么呢？你会注意到的第一件事是工作量。它将比你以前经历过的更重。大学工作的主要挑战是大量的阅读和写作，以及短期的最后期限。工作量带来的一个相关的影响是怀疑，沮丧和孤独感。在过去的几年里，你会远离你的舒适和友谊，为你提供了你的家。大一的时候，你会有很多新朋友。但你应该继续做你自己。选择你的朋友，你总是表现出同样的关心和耐心。相信与否，你的大学友谊将是你人生中最令人满意和最长久的一。它总是令人兴奋地发现如何奇妙不同的大学关系可以。你也会有你自己的-你会是你自己的老板24小时一天，所以说。但是，记住，自由是责任。你应该永远记住，你是在大学与预期的使命。不要把时间浪费在没有意义的事情上。在大一的时候，你甚至可以开始考虑你的未来。也许某个教授特别令人鼓舞。也许你的学校有一些很好的研究。如果一些研究领域吸引了你，找出你所能了解的。这可能是你一生中的开始。大学不仅仅是为了获得学位，也就是要找出你真正的自己是什么，你是什么。Unit2Hello, Im Alberto. Im a student of English, French, Portuguese and Italian. I would also love to learn Chinese and German in the near future. My mother tongue is Spanish and I have a degree in Political Science. I love to learn new languages, because I think it broadens my mind. Even though I still have some difficulty with verb tenses, Im confident that with time and practice Ill cope with them. I believe learning a new language besides your mother tongue can be useful, especially in a world where distances are shortened and people from different countries communicate with each other more frequently. Learning a new language can be a good experience, but only if you keep in mind that nothing is obtained without some effort. In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to read a lot. It doesnt matter what you read, but that you do it. Even if you dont understand everything, your reading comprehension skill will improve remarkably. Also, if possible, watch a lot of television in that language, or listen to CDs. Maybe at first you wont understand a word, but later youd catch on to the rhythm of the language. Good dictionaries are necessary, and books regarding vocabulary can be a plus. The Internet is also a useful tool. The language you choose to learn might seem a little difficult at first, or even totally strange, but youll get accustomed to it. Remember that the learning process is long, and that it never ends. However, it is also highly enjoyable. 你好，我是阿尔伯托。我是英语、法语、葡萄牙语和意大利语的学生。我还想在不久的将来学习汉语和德语。我的母语是西班牙语，我有一个政治学学位。我喜欢学习新语言，因为我认为它可以扩大我的心灵。虽然我还是有一定难度的时态，我相信时间和实践我会对付他们。我相信学习一种新的语言，除了你的母语是有用的，尤其是在一个距离缩短，来自不同国家的人更频繁地相互沟通的世界。学习一门新语言是一种很好的体验，但只有你记住，没有什么是不努力的。在我看来，学习一门语言的最好方法是读很多。你所读到的并不重要，但你做了这件事。即使你什么都不懂，你的阅读理解能力也会显著提高。此外，如果可能的话，在这一语言中观看大量的电视节目，或者听唱片。也许一开始你不懂一个词，但后来你会抓住语言的节奏。良好的字典是必要的，和书籍有关的词汇可以是一个加。互联网也是一个有用的工具。你选择学习的语言似乎有点难，甚至是完全陌生的，但你会习惯于它。记住，学习过程是漫长的，它永远不会结束。然而，它也是非常愉快的。Unit3The Birthday HeartOne day I was helping my mom preparing a picnic when my sisters arrived. They said, “Happy birthday, Mom!” and gave her some presents. I was sad. I had forgotten it was my mothers birthday, but I didnt want her to know that I had not remembered her birthday. I had one dollar in my piggy bank. With that I was sure that I could get a present that would show my mother how much I loved her. I went to the store. When I looked around, I suddenly realized that my dollar wouldnt buy as much as I had thought it would. Then I saw a heart made of plastic. It contained typewriter correction paper. I knew that it would show my mother how much I loved her. It was ninety-nine cents. I took the heart to the cashier and gave her my dollar. She said that I didnt have enough money because with tax the heart cost more than a dollar. I didnt understand sales tax. All I understood was that I couldnt give the heart to my mom. I went to put the heart back and the cashier asked me if it was my moms birthday. I nodded. Then she said that she could help me. She put some of her own pennies in the cash register with my dollar and gave me the heart in a bag. When my mother opened the bag and pulled out the heart, she exclaimed “What a beautiful present!” “Its just what I need.” She put me on her lap and told me that she loved the heart and she loved me.I dont remember many of the gifts that I have given my mother, but I will always remember the heart that I gave her on that birthday.一天，我在帮妈妈准备野餐，我的姐妹们到了。他们说：“生日快乐，妈妈！“给她一些礼物。我很伤心。我忘了这是我母亲的生日，但我不想让她知道我不记得她的生日。我的存钱罐里有一美元。我确信我可以得到一个礼物，这将显示我的母亲我多么爱她。我去了商店。当我环顾四周，我突然意识到，我的美元不会像我想的那样多买。然后我看到了一颗由塑料制成的心。它包含打字机改正纸。我知道这会让我的母亲知道我是多么爱她。这是九十九美分。我把心交给收银员，给了她我的美元。她说我没有足够的钱，因为我的心比一美元的花费更多的钱。我不明白销售税。我所理解的是，我不能把心交给我的妈妈。我去把心放回，收银员问我是否是我妈妈的生日。我点点头。然后她说她可以帮助我。她把她自己的一枚硬币放在现金出纳机上，用美元给我的心。当我的母亲打开袋子，拿出了心，她喊道：“什么是美丽的礼物！“这正是我所需要的，”她把我放在她腿上，告诉我她爱我的心，她爱我。我不记得我给妈妈的许多礼物，但是我会永远记住我在生日那天给她的心。Unit6Xiao Wang: People are so impolite these days!

I cant believe my best friend lied to me.Kimberly:I can explain, Jim. Please let me have the chance to explain to you.Jim:Okay. Ill give you two minutes, only two minutes to explain yourself.Kimberly:Alright, Jim. I told you I didnt win the scholarship because I thought you might be hurt.Jim: Well, you hurt me by not telling me the truth.Kimberly:Im sorry, Jim. I really am. I thought that I could hide the truth from you. I just didnt want you to feel hurt.Jim:I would have been happy for you, Kimberly, although I didnt win the scholarship. I may be a bit sad not getting the scholarship but I am happy that you got it. Its better that the scholarship goes to you than to other people.Kimberly:Thanks, Jim. I am really, really sorry. Would you forgive me, please?Narrator:What you have just heard is a dialogue on how two good friends, Kimberly and Jim, tried to settle their misunderstanding. Kimberly told Jim a white lie because she didnt want to hurt him. How many of you do not tell lies at all, not even white lies? How honest are you? Can you really say that you are an honest person? Well, in 2004, Readers Digest tried to find out how honest 1600 people in different parts of Asia were. They asked these people to answer ten questions about their everyday life. Two situations where people were most honest were returning money to the supermarket cashier if he/she was given more change and returning a wallet to the owner. However, most people would download and use software illegally or take a look at a co-workers bankbook if he or she left it open on the desk.What would you do in each of these situations? Tell yourself the answers honestly and you will find out how honest a person you are.旁白：放学后的一个下午。金佰利：嘿，吉姆！等我！吉姆：（沉默。）金佰利：吉姆！吉姆！请停一会儿。我想和你谈谈。吉姆：我没有什么要对你说的，金佰利。你骗了我，我对你还是很生气。我不敢相信我最好的朋友骗了我。金佰利：我可以解释，吉姆。请让我有机会向你解释。吉姆：好的。我会给你2分钟，只有2分钟的时间来解释你自己。金佰利：好吧，吉姆。我告诉过你我没有赢得奖学金，因为我以为你可能会受伤。吉姆：好吧，你不告诉我真相，你伤害了我。金佰利：对不起，吉姆。我真的是。我以为我可以把真相藏在你的。我只是不想让你感到伤心。吉姆：我会为你感到高兴，金佰利，虽然我没有赢得奖学金。我可能有点难过没有得到奖学金，但我很高兴你得到了它。奖学金对你来说比其他人都好。金佰利：谢谢，吉姆。我真的，真的很抱歉。请您原谅我，好吗？你刚才听到的是一个关于如何2个好朋友，金佰利和吉姆的对话，试图解决他们的误解。金佰利对吉姆说了一个善意的谎言，因为她不想伤害他。你们中有多少人根本不说谎，甚至不说谎？你有多诚实？你真的能说你是一个诚实的人吗？好，在2004，读者文摘试图找出亚洲不同地区的1600人是怎样的。他们要求这些人回答关于他们日常生活的十个问题。如果他/她被给予了更多的改变并将钱包还给了主人，人们最诚实的情况就是把钱还给超市收银员。然而，大多数人都会下载和使用非法软件或如果他或她把它放在书桌上看一看一个同事的存折。在这些情况下你会做什么？诚实地告诉你自己的答案，你会发现你是多么诚实的人。Unit8Today Im going to talk to you about gender differences in communication. Now research has shown that there are actually very few differences in the way men and women talk. In the public consciousness theres this idea that there are huge differences between what men say and what women say and how men communicate and how women communicate. And its actually been shown that both men and women can be aggressive or loving, patient or impatient in their communication. What the real difference is between the genders is what they hear when the other is talking. Women are much more likely to be sensitive to hidden messages or read between the lines about social implications. Men are much more likely to read between the lines about status implications. And this
