Entering an Internet caf is like taking a wee bite of a Big Mac to her.3. At Krakatit, you can surf the Web with a spaceship and talk to dragons and robots.4. Cyber caf will soon be replaced by mobile phones with high-speed Internet access.ScriptKept within a few clicks of hearth and homeIn Rome, you can read your email while your dirty clothes wash, soak and dry in machines beside you. In Helsinki, you can surf the Web while still sweating from a simmer in a nearby sauna. Some people travel to sample the finest of foreign cuisines. Some seek sublime art to appreciate or sacred architecture to celebrate. Me, Ive come to think of myself as an international connoisseur of Internet caf.In my past five months overseas, Ive surfed the information superhighway in Swaziland, driven the data expressway in Estonia and cruised the communication causeway in Croatia. And I can say this: Gone are the days when postcards were the preferred method of making those at home envious of your adventures abroad. Set foot on the road to faraway places and youll soon find that cyber caf are an inescapable part of the contemporary travel experience.Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro, Mass. I found this 23-year-old parked in front of a flat-screen monitor at Big Net caf -the biggest Internet caf in Vienna exchanging love notes with her boyfriend back home. Michelle has been on vacation 10 days and has emailed him every one of them. Think of myself: My (much) better half is traveling with me and still of the 35 cities weve visited thus far, Ive used cyber caf in precisely 71.4 percent of them.When I left the US, I vowed I wouldnt eat at a single McDonalds no matter how cheap and soothingly familiar the food might be. Ive stayed true to that promise. But I admit when I slip into an Internet caf I feel just a wee bit like Im taking a bite of a Big Mac.I comfort myself, however, with the discovery that no two cyber caf are alike. Its hard to know where to begin in Prague, a city suffering a particularly virulent strain of cyber caf-itis. At The Globe you can surf the Net while listening to a jazz trio. At Bohemian Bagel you can order up the namesake roll and a cup of joe along with a side of cyber crack. And at Krakatit, a science fiction caf you can surf the Web surrounded by pictures of dragons and spaceships and robots, oh my.Some people predict that cyber caf, like postcards, will soon find themselves a relic as mobile phones with high-speed Internet access replace them as the new travelers darling. That means no matter where we are well always have the World Wide Web in our pocket. And no matter where we are, well never be more than a button press (or two) from the comforts of home.Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer He is an exchange student living with a host family.2. Get the Main IdeasAnswers1. Japan2. its the first time he came to the United States3. they wanted to broaden their childrens horizons4. science and historyScript and Answers to Self-studyOpen to everythingAnchor: Believe it or not, we are seeing many foreign students in our town. Were interested in their life and study here. Today weve invited the administrative specialist for foreign exchange Jeff Hein, a host mother Teri Benedetti, and an exchange student Aki to join our talk. Mr. Hein, why do so many foreign students come to our town?Jeff Hein: They arrive here through programs operated by nonprofit placement services. Most of them are here because they know someone here and are able to live with them. Or, their parents have done work here and had met someone, and the young people live with those families. Its especially true for our high schools.Anchor: Where are they from?Jeff Hein: Theyre from Australia, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.Anchor: Aki, where are you from and how did you come here?Aki: Im from Korea. Ive visited the United States on vacation twice before. I want to do something else after 10 years of schooling back home. I learned about World Heritage at my school in Korea and I applied and this program arranged my stay here.Anchor: Mrs. Benedetti, how did you come upon the idea of hosting a foreign student?Teri Benedetti: My husband and I applied to host an exchange student partly to broaden our childrens horizons. Its good for our children to know the United States is not the only country in the world, and that everyone has the same feelings inside, but we live in different cultures.Anchor: How did your children feel about living with a foreign student?Teri Benedetti: They were really very excited about having a new older brother. It offers them a great opportunity to be exposed to another lifestyle and another language.Anchor: Mr. Hein, what do the foreign students learn here in our schools?Jeff Hein: Theyre held to the same academic standards as any other student here. Theyre required to be proficient in English and take a course load that includes math, reading, English, science and history classes. But the credits they earn here dont necessarily transfer back to their home schools. As a result, the time exchange students spend here often amounts to a year off of their studies. So this year is basically language practice and learning American culture.Anchor: Are exchange students welcome in our schools?Jeff Hein: Certainly. Learning is a two-way street. Our students learn as much from the international students as they learn from us. They all deal with many of the same things, even though theyre from different cultures and different lands.Anchor: Aki, what do you particularly want to do here?Aki: Just to see the country and another culture. Im open to everything.Unit 3 You are what you wearVocabulary TaskScript and Answers1. A: You look great recently.B: Thank you.

Clothing not only tells something about the wearer but also affects the way others think of the person. Clothing may often betray what is within.2) Second ListeningAnswers1. An opportunity for individuality/ independence vanishes.2. No.3. Through the clothing he or she wears.4. Clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.5. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them.ScriptClothes make the manClothes make the man? runs the old proverb. If you believe that, you might feel that clothing enhances appearance, increases independence, allows for function, and provides comfort. Whats more, clothing that is neat and clean, fits well, and feels good can boost anyones morale.People express their personality in many ways, including through their clothing, hair style, and accessories. Thats why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personality, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure.Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to make an impression through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about clothing can increase older peoples sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people dont care about their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashion reflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them. Sending positive appearance messages may increase older peoples opportunities for social interaction.Real World Listening1. PredictAnswer The outfits she should take along for her trip.1.
