Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 2There are positive effects and negative effects of living in the suburbs.l Positive effects:1. The air might be cleaner.2. There are more trees and less traffic congestion.3. Youll probably have a garden.l Negative effects: 1. Most people drive more and walk less. 2. Youll have little time for cooking and thus rely heavily on junk food. ScriptIn the suburbs the air might be cleaner, as there are more trees and less traffic congestion. Better still youll probably have a garden, which most inner-city dwellers dont. Gardening is a healthy activity for you, and your children have the chance to play outside every day. This is a lot better for them than playing computer games all day because there is nowhere to go.The disadvantages of living in the suburbs are the flip side of the city advantages. Most people living in the suburbs end up driving more and walking less, as nothing is particularly close. This leads to weight gain and general lack of fitness. Those medium sized journeys that suburb dwellers need to do could be done on a bicycle, although this is not always practical or even possible.A less obvious effect of having to commute is little time for cooking. If a considerable portion of your time is spent getting to and from work, it is tempting to rely heavily on junk food, ready meals and takeaways. None of these is very healthy and too many can lead to obesity and the associated health problems. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C 2. B 3. C 4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 8. C 9.

C 4. D 5. C ScriptListening for general comprehensionSam and Mabel Brown wish they lived on a farm. If they had a farm, they could raise animals and produce their own food. It is hard work, but Mr. and Mrs. Brown would enjoy the peace and quiet of living in the country. And they could spend more time with their children. Linda could have her own horse, and Jimmy could go hunting and fishing with his father. On the other hand, if the Browns left the city, Jimmy and Linda would miss their friends. The Browns almost bought a farm several months ago, but it wasnt what they expected. Nowadays, its hard to find a good piece of farmland at a reasonable price. Elmer and Sarah Barton have lived on a farm all their lives, and it hasnt been easy. In 1998 their house burned down. That year they had lost most of their corn and wheat crops because of bad weather. Sarah Barton thinks it would be better if they moved to the city. Elmer could get a job working in his brothers supermarket, and she could open a bakery. She makes wonderful cakes and pies. If Elmer and Sarah moved to the city, they would make new friends and go out more often. But they would probably miss their farm. After all, its the only life they have ever known.Listening for specific information1. What is Sam and Mabels wish?2. What would Jimmy do if the Browns realized their dream?3.

B ScriptListening for general comprehensionAmerican houses usually have private kitchens, a living room and sometimes separate areas for eating and watching television. A house usually has its own mailbox, a yard with plants or perhaps a lawn, and a place to store garbage out of sight.An apartment is usually one living space within a building. Several apartments can be in the same building, with a shared yard and parking spaces. A town house is a two-floor apartment. The kitchen, living room and dining room are usually on the first floor and the bedrooms are on the second floor.Most Americans are happy to talk about their homes. And if theyve done anything special in their home, theyll let you know what it was, and maybe tell you what it cost. Most Americans live in cities, but nearly as many live in the suburbs. Suburban America has shopping centers called malls. Most of the houses in the suburbs are one or two storeys tall, with private yards and gardens and garages. There are few tall buildings in the suburbs. Cities have neighborhoods, “warehouse” stores, and public transportation is usually pretty good. Private houses might only have a back yard, and if there is a garage it probably is small. Cities have a lot of apartment buildings and some tall buildings may seem to “scrape the sky”, so they are called “skyscrapers”.Listening for specific information1.

C 2. B 3. B 4. D 5. C ScriptListening for general comprehensionNowadays, more and more people, especially the young people, decide to live in large cities. The main factor is that cities offer many opportunities. First of all, young people can attend the best universities there and get good education which increases their chances to find employment in good companies. Besides, large modern cities provide limitless sources of entertainment. Young people can socialize in cafes, pubs, clubs or discos. Moreover, they can enjoy shopping in large shopping centers or department stores. All of these charms and attractions of the city are appealing to young people, however, when they start their own families they usually start missing peacefulness of country life. As they become older, people are tired with the stressful city life and often decide to move outside the city.Obviously, living in the country has many advantages. First of all, countryside is not polluted, therefore, you can breathe fresh air. Besides, there is hardly any road traffic, thus you can enjoy silence. You can also relax and go for a nice walk in the forest or in the meadows. What is more important, people can grow their own fruit and vegetables which are healthier than those you can buy in the greengrocers in the city.All things considered, it is obvious that the two lifestyles have their advantages and disadvantages. Some people find cities more exciting and appealing than the countryside but others prefer the beauty and peace of the countryside. The choice where to live depends on every persons character and preferences.Listening for specific information1. What can young people get from the best universities in the cities?2. According to the passage, where can young people socialize?3. When do people begin missing peacefulness of country life according to the passage?4.

The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups10. the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life11. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious ScriptFifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent estimate from the United Nations.City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this process of urbanization. A new report from the Worldwatch Institute says it is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of the environment. The environmental research group in Washington released its 2007 State of the World report last week. Of the three billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about one billion live in unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing. The report says that more than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries.The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups. For example, it says Freetown, Sierra Leone, has established farming within the city limits to meet much of its growing food demands. In Colombia, engineers have created a bus system in Bogota that the report says has helped reduce air pollution and improve quality of life. Olav Kjorven heads the Environment and Energy Group at the United Nations Development Program. He agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious. But he says governments also need to consider why people are moving out of rural areas. Climate change, drought, floodsthere are many reasons forcing people to leave, he says.

Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 21. commit; rosy2. negative; failed3. considerate; criticize ScriptIn a proactive-love situation, you commit to keeping the fires of love burning, not expecting them to burn of their own accord. You know it will not be easy. But because you care, you are ready to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes. You believe in your partner, and you believe in love. You know that love is not the rosy feeling, which comes and goes without notice. It is a commitment, through thick and thin, independent of your feelings. Rather than wait to receive love, you give it first. And in selfless sowing you reap a harvest bigger than your seed.However, if reactive love is your style, your negative seeds will grow in every relationship you have, possibly causing a cycle of failed relationships.Regarding relationships, we could restate this law thus: Your relationship is the harvest of the seeds YOU have sown. Therefore, to change your relationship, you must start by changing YOU, not your partner! If you want it better, become a better person. Be more considerate. Be more tolerant. Listen more. Criticize less. Give only what you would like to receive. Listening TasksTask 1 Understanding Short Conversations1. C 2. C 3. D 4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 8. C 9. C 10. B Script1.
