I dont know what to do!W: Its too late for tears. Sounds like all you can do now is to comfort her and tell her youll support her.Q: What is the womans advice to the man?2.W: Have you read this book called No More Worries or Tears? Its full of advice on raising children.M: I sure have! It has been a big help. Now, I understand my two sons much better than before.Q: What does the man think about the book?3.M: I took our daughter to the doctor. The doctor took one look at her lungs, and he knew she had been smoking.W: I knew it! But why wont she listen to us? I tell her all the time that smoking is bad.Q: What does the woman tell her daughter?4.W: Im very impressed by your daughter! She has such good manners and seems so well-behaved!M: Shes a good girl. Weve always had a good relationship. Were able to talk about things that worry us as well.Q: What do the man and woman agree upon?5.M: Thank you for meeting with me. Can you tell me how my daughter is doing in class?W: Since our last meeting, there has been a great improvement in her work.Q: What has taken place since the man and the woman met the last time?6.M: I cant believe that you bought our daughter eye-liner. Didnt we agree she was too young for it?W: Im sorry. But she just kept asking and asking. I couldnt stand the constant begging and it made her happy.Q: What is the argument between the man and the woman about?7.M: Every time I teach my son a lesson, he sees something on TV that undermines what Ive said.W: Maybe you should think about getting rid of your television. TV often has a bad influence on people.Q: What does the woman think about television?8.M: My parents are very generous with me. Sometimes, I wonder if their generosity has been bad for my character.W: You seem all right not too greedy or selfish. I dont think it has done you any harm.Q: How does the woman feel about the mans parents?9.W: Do you think our son is getting into trouble? Is he violent?M: Our son? No way! He knows right from wrong. Weve made it clear to him that violence is never the answer to a problem.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?10.W: Hows your reading on teenage behavior going? Have you learned anything?M: Yeah. It says here that 50 percent of all teenagers are from broken homes and that these children are 73 percent more likely to commit crimes.Q: How much more likely is it that teenagers from broken homes will commit crimes?LONGW: Many people are having trouble with their sons and daughters. I was just reading a newspaper article on it this morning. There are 190,000 teenagers in our city.M: Does it say anything about the causes of teenage violence? My son has been hitting other students at school.W: Yes. It says TV has a major influence. By 18, teenagers have often seen 200,000 acts of violence on TV. And people who have seen the most violence on TV tend to be the most violent.M: My son doesnt watch much TV, so it must be something else.W: Maybe its music. Teenagers typically listen to four hours of music every day. Many of the songs have very violent messages.M: Does the article say that violence in pop music leads to violent behavior?W: It isnt quite clear. The article reports on two studies. One report says teenagers who listen to pop music are almost twice as likely to become violent, while the other one says theres no significant connection between the two factors.1. How did the woman learn that people are having trouble with their kids?2. What is the mans concern about his son?3. How many acts of violence may people have seen by the time they become adults?4. Which of the following does the mans son NOT do very often?5. What do the studies say about music and violence?PASSIts odd that parents are so worried about their teenagers smoking, especially since smoking isnt a teenagers biggest problem. Then what is? Shockingly, a teenagers biggest problem is his own mother and father! Todays teenagers know they should not smoke, but they dont know when not to listen to their parents. They dont know they should say no to their parents when their parents are being too generous. Therefore, as they receive more and more from their parents, the teenagers become greedy and selfish. Gradually, they have become spoiled. Studies show that spoiled teenagers are much more likely to take drugs and do poorly in school. They may also develop poor manners and get pregnant at an earlier age. However, this is not what parents want to hear. They think they are being kind to their teenagers, and they have a tendency to ignore the damage they are really doing.1. According to the speaker, what seems strange?2. What does the speaker think causes a teenagers problems?3. What does the speaker suggest that parents should NOT do?4. What might teenagers do as a result of being spoiled?5. What are parents likely to ignore?Unit 6一Understanding short conversations12345678910二Understand a long conversation三Homework23Unit 7一Understanding short conversations12345678910二Understand a long conversation三Homework123Unit 8一Understanding short conversations12345678910二Understand a long conversation三Homework123UNIT91.M: Come on!

Its very serious.Q: What does the man hope the official will do?5.M: I give up! I hate to admit this, but getting a job at a newspaper is just impossible.W: No, it isnt! Youve wanted this your whole life. You can be a journalist if you just keep trying!Q: What has the man always wanted to do?6.W: When my uncle lost his leg, he was depressed, stayed at home and refused to go outside.M: Ive heard stories like that before. Some people give up on life when they become disabled, but they should try not to use it as an excuse.Q: What isnt an excuse for giving up according to the man?7.M: You are one of those abnormal people who refuse to give up when life gets difficult.W: Thank you. But I think that most people are like me in not quitting. So Im not really abnormal.Q: What is common in people according to the woman?8.W: Ive never seen anyone as ambitious as your brother. He has big dreams and works so hard to accomplish them.M: Hes a special person. Hes been like that ever since he was in kindergarten.Q: How long has his brother been ambitious?9.M: Immigrants coming into the city spend about $500 a month. They start with nothing, and often they become successful.W: Twenty percent of the 150 richest people in the city are immigrants.

Im never going to learn this language well!W: Oh, come on. Dont say that. In the past, my English was very poor. But now its pretty good.M: I wish that would happen to me. How did you do it?W: I read more, spoke more, listened more and wrote more. I took every chance to practice, such as going to English Corner, talking to foreigners, reading English aloud in the morning and even speaking to myself, from time to time.M: Ive done the same. But its useless. My English hasnt improved. I dont think it ever will.W: You should have confidence in yourself. You can learn English OK so long as you persist. Believe me.M: Perhaps, youre right.

She was born with a hearing problem. She has been diagnosed as half-deaf as she has poor hearing and a slow response-time to sounds. She came home one spring day to tell me she had competed in a sports meet, where they had lots of races and other competitive events. Because of her listening disability, I tried to think of words to encourage her. I didnt want to let her down. I have heard many famous coaches do so when the athletes are faced with defeat. But before I could speak, she looked up and said, Daddy, I won two of the races. I couldnt believe it. And then Ellen said, I had an advantage. Ah, I knew it. She must have been given a head start some kind of physical advantage. But before I could say anything, she said, Daddy, I didnt get a head start. My advantage was I had to try harder.1. What is Ellens problem?2. What did Ellen tell her father when she came home one spring day?3. Why did her father try to encourage Ellen?4. How did Ellen perform?5.

Above everything, Im going to tell them never to forget the tragic effects of war. War is such a terrible and sad thing.Q: What is the man going to tell his students to remember most of all?2.M: World War II brought so much good to the world freedom, technology, and more.W: But at what cost? The two atomic bombs alone killed more than 200,000 people. Altogether, the war killed about 35 million people who werent soldiers.Q: Who were the 35 million people killed?3.M: The heroes of World War II fought through the greatest nightmare the world has ever seen.W: Thats true. And even though those great heroes are growing old, we shouldnt forget them.Q: What shouldnt we forget?4.W: Did you see the war film on television last night? It was so exciting I couldnt sleep afterwards.M: I saw it. It was on World War II, and it reminded me of how important the war was in bringing peace to the world.Q: What was the man reminded of?5.W: Ive learned about World War II in my classes. How could Germany and Japan have been so terrible?M: Many people think the peoples of those countries were deceived by their leaders. I dont think it will happen again though.Q: According to the man, why did Germany and Japan do terrible things?6.M: Could you clarify your statement? What did you mean when you said history could repeat itself?W: I meant that if we did not learn from the lesson of World War II, we might repeat the mistakes that led to it.Q: What does the woman think of World War II?7.W: By the time they returned from war, millions of boys had been transformed into men.M: I guess seeing death and destruction had a terrible impact on them and made them grow up. Hopefully, they learned how to avoid war.Q: What caused millions of boys to grow up?8.M: Part of the public has a positive perception of war. Some even think it is a game of some sort.W: Thats because they have never seen war for themselves. Having lived through World War II, I know that war is a terrible thing.Q: How does the woman know about war?9.W: Why did World War II have such far-reaching effects?M: Well, many people think it was the first truly global war because nearly all the major powers of the world were involved. Fifty-six countries had soldiers fighting and about 35 million people were killed.Q: How many nations took part in World War II?10.M: Have you been paying attention?

For todays program, we have invited a lady who worked as a nurse during World War II.W: Good evening!

It was two months of being taught basic skills in the School of Nursing.M: What happened to you during the blitz? You know, when Nazi Germany bombed Britain?W: Manchester was bombed on the 22nd and 23rd of December, 1940. On December 24, I received a telegram requesting my immediate return from leave for nursing duties.

After the terrific pounding that Liverpool endured in May, 1941, from German bombers, my family had to move away to the countryside. I started school in 1943 but I had to carry a gas mask with me everywhere I went. Liverpool suffered heavily in the bombing and it became quite common to see the horrible bomb sites.
