Four million? professor: Yes. interviewer: How many of them break the law in order to pay for their drugs? professor: We estimate that a hundred thousand people steal in order to pay for their drug addiction. interviewer: A hundred thousand?! Thats incredible! And what kind of crimes do they commit? professor: Mainly shopliftingin other words, stealing from shopsand burglary, stealing from houses. interviewer: I see. professor: And theres another problem. Drug users get into trouble with the police for other reasons as well. interviewer: What kind of reasons? professor: Well, you often see drug users in public placesshopping centres, railway stations, for exampleand some of them behave so badly that members of the public call the police. Some people feel so nervous when they see drug users that they call the police anyway. interviewer: This is a really bad problem, isnt it? professor: Absolutely, but the good news is that drug users who go to treatment centres usually stop their criminal activities. interviewer: How many addicts go to treatment centres? professor: Last year, about 30,000 people attended drug treatment centres. interviewer: Thirty thousand? Thats amazing. professor: Yes, there are such a lot of people that there isnt time to help them all. interviewer: What kind of people are they? professor: Well, the majority are young people in their twenties. And about 75 percent of the young people are men. interviewer: And do all these people live in cities? professor: Oh no. The ratio of drug users in society is the same in cities and in the countryside. But they all have something in common. interviewer: Whats that? professor: Drug users are more likely to get into trouble at school. interviewer: Professor Marion Smith, thank you very much. professor: Thank you. Book 2 Module3Listening1:The Beatles were the most successful band in the history of popular music. The band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Starr played drums, the other three played guitar. Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the songs. All the Beatles were born in Liverpool in the north of England.During the early 1960s, the Beatles were influenced by American rock singers, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. They had their first hit in 1962 with a catchy song called Love Me Do (1962). In 1964, after they had become stars in their own country, the Beatles toured the United States and were a huge success.During the mid-1960s, the Beatles were one of the bands which gave rock music a new direction. Some of their songs were quite serious, such as Nowhere Man; there were ballads such as Yesterday and more complex songs such as Strawberry Fields Forever.By the late 1960s, their music had changed completely. They had stopped writing simple songs with catchy tunes. The tunes and the lyrics had become more interesting and they had begun to use new instruments, too. For example, after visiting India, they started using Indian instruments.Some of their albums changed pop music completely. Their last album was Let It Be in 1970.After they had finished recording Let It Be, they split up. By the time they stopped working together, they had sold more albums than any other band in history. After the group had broken up, all the Beatles performed as solo artists or started other bands.John Lennon died in New York in 1980. George Harrison died in 2001.Book 2 Module4:Listening1:girl: Hey, thats a good portrait. Its so realistic. Youve really got the expression rightthe look in the eyes. boy: Yes, Im pleased with it.
