Identifying

Numbers

Numbers

appear

very

often

in

every

kind

of

listening

material.

The

ability

to

catch

the

exact

numbers

spoken

in

English

is

an

important

but

difficult

skill

for

a

Chinese

learner.

A

good

way

is

to

practice

over

and

over

again

the

pronunciation

of

the

numbers,

particularly

the

different

ways

to

say

thirteen

and

thirty,

fourteen

and

forty,

etc.

It

also

helps

to

practice

writing

down

the

numbers

you

hear

quickly

in

numerical

forms,

without

translating

them

into

Chinese.

You're

going

to

hear

a

passage

about

Michael

Jordan,

a

retired

American

professional

basketball

player.

Listen

carefully

and

fill

in

the

blanks

with

the

missing

numbers.

Michael

Jordan

is

the

greatest

basketball

player

of

all

time.

He

was

born

on

Feb.17,

1963,

in

Brooklyn,

New

York.

He

is

1.98

meters

tall

and

weighs

216

pounds.

Jordan

joined

the

Chicago

Bulls

team

for

the

1984

season.

In

the

1986

season

he

shot

3041

points,

the

third

highest

score

ever.

He

was

named

NBA

Slam

Dunk

Champion(扣籃冠軍)in

1987

and

won

the

Most

Valuable

Player

Award

in

1988,

an

honor

repeated

four

times

in

the

next

ten

years

to

1998.

Jordan

guided

his

team

to

win

six

NBA

championships

during

the

1990s,

scoring

45

points

during

the

sixth

and

last

game

of

the

1998

NBA

finals.

In

1999,

he

was

named

the

greatest

North

American

athlete

of

the

20th

century.

Jordan

left

the

NBA

at

the

beginning

of

the

1993-1994

NBA

season

to

pursue

a

career

in

baseball.

Since

his

baseball

game

wasn't

quite

as

good

as

his

basketball

games,

he

finally

gave

it

up

to

rejoin

the

Bulls

in

1995.

Yet,

after

playing

for

five

more

years,

he

once

again

announced

his

retirement

in

1999.

But

he

returned

for

two

more

NBA

games

in

2001

as

a

member

of

the

Washington

Wizards.

the

Peter:

Hi

Laura.

Where

are

you

heading

with

that

big

bag?

Laura:

Hi,

Peter.

I'm

off

to

the

gym.

I've

got

to

stay

in

shape,

you

know.

I

try

to

go

three

times

a

week,

but

I'm

busy

so

I

can't

always

make

it.

Peter:

I

know

more

women

who

work

out

than

men.

What's

the

main

reason

you

work

out?

For

your

health,

or

to

look

good?

Laura:

To

be

honest,

for

both.

With

women,

good

looks

are

always

a

very

important

consideration.

Peter:

If

they

were

honest,

most

men

who

work

out

would

admit

that

they

also

do

it

to

look

better,

and

not

merely

for

health

reasons.

Laura:

How

about

you?

Do

you

get

any

regular

exercise?

Peter:

I

do

a

lot

of

walking,

for

exercise

and

enjoyment

sometimes

ten

to

twenty

kilometers

at

a

time

but

I

never

go

to

the

gym

like

you

do.

Laura:

Well,

walking

is

good

exercise.

How

about

sports?

Peter:

Not

since

my

school

days.

I

used

to

love

playing

baseball,

but

it's

impossible

to

get

enough

people

together

for

a

game

now.

Mostly

I

just

watch

sports

on

TV.

Laura:

I

play

tennis

fairly

regularly

with

my

friends,

and

sometimes

go

swimming

and

cycling

by

myself.

Peter:

Oh,

I

forgot

about

that.

I

go

cycling

sometimes

too.

And

I

often

go

swimming

on

vacation,

but

only

recreational

swimming.

Laura:

Why

don't

you

join

me

at

the

gym

I

can

you

Unit

Food

and

Drinks

Part

A

Listening

Strategy

Listening

"Between

the

Lines"

People

do

not

always

say

directly

what

they

mean.

Very

often,

we

have

to

listen

"between

the

lines".

The

English

language

offers

many

ways

for

people

to

imply,

rather

than

directly

state,

their

meaning.

To

find

out

what

a

speaker

really

means,

we

can

rely

on

such

things

as

the

context,

the

meaning

of

an

idiom,

and

the

intonation

used.

For

example,

if

someone

says

"I

have

an

essay

to

write"

in

answer

to

an

invitation

to

go

somewhere,

we

can

infer

from

the

context

that

he

cannot

accept

the

invitation.

And

if

someone

says

"Andrew

passed

with

flying

colors"

in

reply

to

an

inquiry

about

how

Andrew

did

on

a

test,

we

can

infer

from

the

meaning

of

the

idiom

"to

pass

with

flying

colors"

that

Andrew

did

very

well

on

the

test.

Often,

intonation

also

helps

to

reveal

the

real

meaning

of

a

message.

For

example,

"He

is

very

clever"

said

with

an

ironic

tone

means

just

the

opposite.

You

are

going

to

hear

eight

short

conversations

between

two

speakers.

Listen

carefully

and

write

down

"Yes"

or

"No"

to

each

of

the

following

questions.

1.

M:

Have

you

ever

been

to

that

big

restaurant

opposite

the

school

gate?

W:

Yes,

many

times.

Whenever

my

friends

come

to

visit

me,

I'll

take

them

there

to

eat.

2.

W:

Is

there

something

wrong,

sir?

M:

My

wife

and

I

have

been

kept

waiting

for

nearly

an

hour

for

our

meal.

3.

W:

Where

is

the

cake

I

made

this

morning?

M:

We

ate

it,

mom.

Can

you

make

another

one

for

us?4.

W:

I

hear

you

like

chicken

very

much.

M:

Next

to

beef.

5.

M:

Have

you

tried

this

wine

before?

W:

No,

never.

It's

my

first

time,

but

it's

really

to

my

taste.

6.

W:

John,

do

you

want

a

soda?

M:

Soda?

I

think

it

tastes

like

medicine.

7.

W:

Why,

the

fish

is

left

almost

untouched.

M:

Well,

it

would

be

good

if

it

were

less

salty.

8.

M:

Hi,

Sue,

would

you

like

to

eat

out

tonight?

W:

Oh,

I'd

really

like

to,

but

Kate:

we?

Peter:

ask.

Kate:

Kate:

Peter:

Kate:

Yes,

That

not

Listening

Strategy

Listening

for

Important

Details

Besides

understanding

the

main

idea

of

a

listening

text,

we

often

find

it

necessary

to

grasp

the

important

details

as

well.

What

counts

as

important

details

depends

on

the

kind

of

information

we

want.

Generally

speaking,

if

we

are

listening

to

the

narration

of

an

event,

we

need

to

sharpen

our

ears

not

only

for

what

happened,

but

also

when

and

where,

how

and

why

it

happened.

In

listening

to

a

weather

report,

on

the

other

hand,

the

important

details

we

should

watch

out

for

are

the

current

weather

The

weather

today:

a

fine

day

is

in

store

nearly

everywhere,

with

the

best

of

the

sunshine

in

southern

and

central

areas

of

Britain.

A

pleasant

day,

then,

with

long

sunny

periods

developing.

There

will

be

light

winds

with

a

maximum

temperature

of

18

degrees

Celsius,

64

degrees

Fahrenheit.

Look

at

the

outlook

for

the

next

few

days:

it

will

become

mostly

cloudy

with

heavy

showers

moving

in

from

the

west.

2.

A

storm

in

Changchun,

capital

of

Northeast

China's

Jilin

Province,

claimed

four

lives

on

Sunday.

The

storm

lasted

about

three

hours

from

around

8

p.m.

The

winds

reached

speeds

of

over

a

hundred

miles

an

hour,

causing

serious

damage

and

a

widespread

power

failure.

It's

Michelle:

I

I

Alan:

That's

chose

today

as

the

date

for

Michelle:

You

can't

have

a

picnic

without

good

weather.

You

need

sunshine

for

all

the

eating

and

games

and

entertainment.

Alan:

Yeah,

sunshine

but

not

too

much!

Do

you

remember

last

year?

Michelle:

I

sure

do.

It

was

so

hot

all

we

did

was

look

for

shade,

look

for

ways

to

escape

from

the

sun.

Alan:

And

no

one

wanted

to

participate

in

any

of

the

planned

activities.

All

we

wanted

was

cold

drinks.

And

then

we

dozed

off.

Michelle:

If

there

had

just

been

the

tiniest

breeze

to

cool

us

off.

Alan:

But

there

wasn't.

Just

that

burning

sun,

without

a

cloud

in

the

sky,

and

the

temperature

just

seemed

to

climb

higher

Michelle:

Well,

apparently.

Alan,

Is

it

I

didn't

catch

report.

But

maybe

if

it

rains,

it

will

only

be

Unit

Music

Part

A

Listening

Strategy

Listening

for

Signal

WordsThe

ability

to

identify

signal

words

can

help

us

follow

the

thread

of

the

speaker's

thought.

People

often

use

signal

words

or

phrases

like

"but",

"therefore"

and

"as

a

result"

to

add

a

comment

that

contrasts

with

what

has

just

been

said

or

to

signal

what

they

are

about

to

say

is

the

result

or

cause

of

their

previous

remarks.

Similarly,

words

and

phrases

like

"for

example",

"most

importantly",

"first",

"second",

"finally"

and

"then"

usually

signal

that

the

speaker

is

going

to

provide

an

illustration

or

emphasize

a

certain

point

or

discuss

several

aspects

of

a

certain

topic.

So

we

should

pay

attention

to

signal

words

in

listening

as

they

will

prepare

us

for

what

is

going

to

be

said.

You're

going

to

hear

four

short

passages.

Listen

carefully

and

write

down

the

signal

word(s)

in

each

passage.

Then

choose

a,

b,

c

or

d

to

indicate

the

function

of

the

signal

word(s)

used

in

each

of

the

passages.

1.

Most

people

like

music.

In

fact,

we

are

surrounded

by

it.

It's

on

the

radio

and

television

and

can

be

heard

in

stores

and

restaurants.

However,

not

everyone

likes

the

same

kind

of

music.

2.

The

manager

of

the

music

shop

was

called

Brian

Epstein.

Because

so

many

people

had

asked

for

a

record

by

the

Sun,

Epstein

decided

to

go

and

listen

to

the

group

himself.

3.

Firstly

I

would

like

to

talk

about

classical

music

and

its

representative

composers,

then

I

will

move

on

to

jazz

music,

and

finally

I

will

focus

on

pop

music

in

the

last

century.

4.

We

listen

to

exciting

music

and

our

hearts

beat

faster,

our

blood

pressure

rises,

and

our

blood

flows

more

quickly.

In

short,

we're

stimulated.

Listening

Tasks

A

Passage

Background

Music

Exercise

1

Listen

to

the

passage.

As

you

listen,

read

the

signal

words

in

your

book

and

put

a

tick

()

in

the

brackets

after

the

ones

you

have

heard.

Background

music

may

seem

harmless,

but

it

can

have

a

powerful

effect

on

those

who

hear

it.

Recorded

background

music

first

found

its

way

into

factories,

shops

and

restaurants

in

the

USA.

Very

soon

it

spread

to

other

parts

of

the

world.

Now

it

is

becoming

difficult

to

go

shopping

or

eat

a

meal

without

listening

to

music.

To

begin

with,

background

music

was

intended

simply

to

create

a

soothing

atmosphere.

Recently,

however,

it's

becoming

a

big

business.

An

American

marketing

expert

has

shown

that

music

can

boost

sales

or

increase

factory

production

by

as

much

as

a

third.

But

it

has

to

be

the

light

music.

Lively

music

has

no

effect

at

all

on

sales.

Slow

music

can

increase

receipts

by

34%.

This

is

probably

because

shoppers

slow

down

and

have

more

opportunity

to

spot

items

they

would

like

to

buy.

Yet,

slow

music

isn't

always

the

answer.

The

expert

found

that

in

restaurants

slow

music

meant

customers

took

longer

to

eat

their

meals,

which

reduced

overall

sales.

So

restaurant

owners

might

be

well

advised

to

play

faster

music

to

keep

the

customers

moving

unless,

of

course,the

resulting

indigestion

leads

to

complaints.

was

recorded

background

music

first

used?

2.

What

was

the

original

purpose

of

music?

Your

Listening

Listen

to

the

passage

three

times

and

supply

the

missing

information.

Celine

Dion

is

the

youngest

of

14

children

in

a

working-class

family

in

Quebec,

Canada.

Her

parents,

who

both

loved

music,

encouraged

her

to

develop

her

musical

talent.

At

12,

Celine

had

composed

the

song

"It

Was

Only

a

Dream".

Her

mother

and

brother

helped

her

to

make

a

recording

of

that

song

and

sent

it

off

to

an

address

they

found

on

an

album

of

a

popular

French

singer.

The

address

was

that

of

Rene

Angelil,

who

became

her

first

conquest,

but

there

would

be

millions

more.

Celine's

rise

from

a

teenage

singer

to

a

pop

superstar

has

been

steady,

but

not

without

difficulties.

Record

companies

were

at

first

less

enthusiastic

about

investing

in

a

teenager

than

Angelil,

who

mortgaged

his

own

home

to

pay

for

her

first

album.

But

her

first

two

albums

won

a

great

success.

And

by

1983

she

became

the

first

Canadian

ever

to

have

a

gold

record

in

France.

In

1990,

Celine

made

her

first

English

language

record

with

Unison

but

her

real

breakthrough

in

America

came

when

she

was

selected

by

Disney

to

sing

the

theme

song

of

Beauty

and

the

Beast.

The

song

went

to

No.1

on

the

chart

and

won

both

a

Grammy

and

an

Academy

award.

In

1996

she

performed

at

the

opening

ceremony

of

the

1996

Atlanta

Olympic

Games

and

in

1997

she

recorded

the

theme

song

for

Titanic,

and

her

name

became

synonymous

with

the

enormously

successful

film.

Celine

Dion's

favorite

theme

is

love.

She

sings

the

depth

and

the

power

of

love

in

a

great

many

of

her

hits

such

as

"Love

Can

Move

Mountains",

"Because

You

Me",

"The

theme

song

of

Titanic,

"My

Although

sometimes

(e.g.,

how

You

really

should

try

to

lose

at

least

that

extra

weight.

Do

you

get

much

exercise?

P:

No,

not

very

much.

D:

Physical

activity

is

very

important.

P:

So

what

do

you

recommend,

doctor?

D:

I

will

give

you

some

medications

for

your

insomnia

and

your

indigestion.

But

I

also

recommend

that

you

begin

a

regular

exercise

program.

P:

But

I

have

neither

the

time

nor

the

money

to

go

to

a

gym.

D:

You

don't

need

to

go

to

a

gym.

A

simple

walking

program

would

be

very

beneficial

for

you.

I

think

you'll

find

that

diet

and

exercise

will

be

very

helpful

in

taking

care

of

your

recent

complaints.
