Conversation 01.
M:Welcome to the Book Club. Today's guest is Susan Lane, the author of a new book
on personal finances that has already sold half a million copies. Hi, Susan. Your
book is extremely successful. Why do you think that is?
W:I think that's because of my message, which is making happiness a priority over
money. So many of us in my generation have spent decades trying to earn more money
just to consume more, but it made us more miserable.
M:You yourself were once caught in that cycle, working for two decades as an executive
and earning a high salary, but still accumulating debt.
W: I most certainly was. I earned million. But by the time I quit my job four years
ago to become a writer, I owed over $30,000.
M: So how did you escape that pattern and what would you advise other people to do?
W: The first change isn't what we value. We need to emphasize things that actually
make us happy, like relationships, the environment, or even our hobbies. Once we
make the right things our priority . Our goals will change and so will our financial
behavior.
M:How does that translate into practical action? Can you give our audience examples
of what you're talking about? On an everyday basis?
W: The major areas for action are usually housing, food, and transportation. So
people might share a home with friends instead of living on their own. Bring lunch
from home instead of going to restaurants and use public transport instead of owning
a car.
M: Those sound like major sacrifices. I could never share my home. I need my own
space,
W: But they aren't sacrifices. When people change their values, their desires change.
So in the example of housing, if we value relationships, sharing a home isn't
depriving ourselves of space. But giving us an opportunity to spend more time with
our loved ones.
M: Indeed it is.

W: Thank you for inviting me to the gallery, Christopher. I haven't visited here
since your predecessor's retirement function.
M: Would you like to see the newest additions to our collection First? Catherine.
W: Are those the landscapes? By Danielle Gregory? I absolutely adore her work.
M: This first piece was a gift to the gallery from the artist herself, and it's quite
exquisite.
W:I love how she depicts the barren landscape. The colors compliment each other
perfectly.
M: You can sense the desolation in the picture. This piece was inspired by Gregory's
recent trek in the Goy Desert.
W: And how did you obtain her other piece over here?
M: It was purchased at auction by an anonymous collector who lent it to the gallery
for display.This composition is one of her most acclaimed paintings.
W: It must have cost that collector a small fortune to purchase this.
M: Obviously, I can't disclose the exact amount he paid, but it was substantial.
W: There's so much detail in this painting. I feel like I can really immerse myself
in the scene. I particularly like the symmetry created by the reflection of the
mountain in the lake.
M: This particular piece was the one that was nominated for a gateway award. I was
lucky enough to attend the award ceremony as Gregory's guest.
W: So you know her personally, I assume she's an eccentric artist.
M:Quite the opposite. In fact, she's not at all eccentric. I would say she's one
of the most easygoing and intelligent people I know.
W: I'd love to be able to meet her. There are so many questions I'd like to ask.
What a coincidence.
M: I'm meeting her for dinner tonight. Would you like to come along?
W: I'd love to. thank you.

Passage 01.
Forgiveness is the release of resentment or anger. Forgiveness doesn't mean
reconciliation. We don't have to return to the same relationship, nor do we have
to accept the same harmful behaviors from an offender. Forgiveness is vitally
important for the mental health of certain victims. It propels people forward rather
than keeping them emotionally engaged in an injustice or trauma. Carrying the hurt
or anger of an offense leads the body to release stress chemicals. Eliminating the
perpetual flow of those chemicals may also explain why forgiveness provides physical
health benefits. There are scenarios in which forgiveness is not the best course.
Sometimes a victim becomes more empowered when they give themselves permission not
to forgive. Forgiveness can be challenging . This is especially true when the
offending party offers an insincere apology, or maybe they haven't offered anything
at all. However, it's often the healthiest path forward. It's important to cultivate
forgiveness by developing compassion for the offender. Reflect on whether the act
was due to malicious intent or whether it was caused by challenging circumstances
in the offender's life. What about forgiving ourselves? We sometimes need to take
responsibility for mistakes, but intense guilt and shame aren't a desirable outcome
in the long run, forgiving yourself may seem like an ambiguous process. You can begin
by acknowledging that you are at fault. Take responsibility for the hurt you caused.
Then reflect on why the event, draw the lessons you learned and try to avoid
committing a similar offense in the future.
Q09. What does the passage say about forgiveness?
Q10. When is forgiveness especially challenging?
Q11. What should one do in order to forgive the offender?
Passage 02
The Glasgow Subway first opened in 1896 as a cable hauled system. It is generally
recognized as the world's third underground railway after London and Budapest. In
its long history, it has never been expanded, remaining as a single loop line with
a mere 15 stations. At its peak, it served the shipyard workers on the south side
of the city.
In the 1960s, there was a decline in the ship building industry, and the popularity
of private transport grew. As a result, the subway saw a rapid decline in ridership.
It ran with little further change until 1977 when its new operators closed it for
major modernization investment. carriages were replaced, Ventilation was improved.
And the main depot was also renovated and fitted with connecting tracks to replace
the outdated crane transfer mechanism. The subway in its present form reopened for
operation in April, 1980. Since its relaunch, the subway has seen a revival in its
fortunes. It serves as a viable alternative to other forms of transport, and has
gone a long way to alleviate traffic jams in the city center.
In 1996, the system reached an important milestone 100 years. To commemorate this
special event, the color scheme of the train carriages was updated. recently, High
tech systems such as smart card ticketing machines and smart gates are used across
all subway stations. The SMART card provides more convenient travel and passengers
simply top up their cards and tap them to get in and out the subway. Since its launch,
the technology has been adopted by more than 100,000 subway customers.

Lecture 1
If you visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Chances are: you will remember
the roadside or campground bears. Above all else, theirs are the most popular animals
in a number of our national parks and these mountains where the population of bears
runs into the hundreds. Opportunities to observe these large wild animals are
plentiful during the summer. Since national parks are wildlife sanctuaries where
no disturbance of the native animals is allowed, years of protection have served
to break down the wild bear's fear of humans. Now instead of depending on their own
resources for a living, many bears, patrol park roads and campgrounds, they give
the garbage cans a frequent, going over an occasional offer of food from a park
visitor and illegal and dangerous practice makes beggars of them. Bears are very
often hungry, and since they will feed on almost any kind of plant or animal, garbage
is quite acceptable. Feeding them however represents misguided kindness because the
bears come to expect such generosity from everyone, and consequently, trouble could
lie ahead.
Park rules prohibit the feeding of bears. Violators are arrested. Every year, Doctors
who have offices near the park treat a number of cases of bear bites and bear scratches.
Some of the accidents have come about in strange ways. One man was in the process
of feeding two small cubs when the mother bear appeared and insisted upon having
some of the food shoving the big bear aside with one hand.
The man continued feeding the cubs when suddenly he was struck a fierce blow in the
face. A bear prompted by the food that a lady kept offering to him entered the car
where the generous person was sitting. Her efforts to push the bear out of the car
resulted in injuries. A man required medical attention after he applied a lighted
cigarette to a bear's noses.
Another man tried to boost a bear into the front seat of his car so that he might
take a picture of a bear sitting beside his wife who was behind the wheel. Because
bears prefer roads and campgrounds. The possibility of a hiker meeting up with a
bear along park trails is small, but there's always that chance for a bear seems
to know if you are carrying a lunch or a candy bar, he may even insist on taking
it.
Question 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.
Question 16 what does the speaker say about the bears in National Parks now?
question 17 what does the speaker say about visitors feeding bears in national parks?
Question 18 what is the speaker's advice to people who carry some food while hiking
on a park trail?
Lecture 02
Why do we form opinions or attitudes about someone or something without really
knowing much about them? Just hearing something good or bad about a person, a place
or thing can influence our opinions positively or negatively. But letting the
opinions of another person determine what our opinions will be is dangerous. Forming
opinions about someone or something before really knowing them well is called
prejudice. Pre means before, and Judice refers to judgment, hence prejudice means
to judge before having adequate knowledge, we can be prejudiced toward or against
someone or something. In either case, we are only allowing ourselves to see half
of the picture. Very few people or things in this world are all good or all bad.
Prejudiced attitudes are usually based on myths, half truths or incorrect
information, and they're dangerous because they can keep us from learning the truth
about someone or something. People form prejudices against others for many reasons,
differences in their race, religion, gender, or occupation. prejudices keep people
apart. They keep us from really knowing and understanding each other. We should feel
proud of who we are and the group of people we represent. If feelings of pride begin
to turn to feelings of superiority, when we think that our group or our beliefs are
better than those around us, however, then we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes
that can be harmful. For example, the prejudiced attitudes of one group may keep
another group from attending certain schools, from living in any neighborhood they
want or from getting a job or a promotion. Extreme feelings of prejudice have caused
the deaths of innocent people. We are responsible for our own thoughts and opinions.
When we let someone else tell us what to think about someone or something, we are
giving up some control of our own. Before you form an attitude or opinion, find out
for yourself about the person or the thing in question. Sometimes we don't realize
that we hold prejudiced attitudes toward or against someone or something. We need
to carefully examine our lives and our fears and to ask ourselves whether our
attitudes come from our personal knowledge and experience, or from rumors and fear
of the unknown. The good news about prejudice is that we are not born with it.
Prejudiced attitudes and opinions develop over time, but with education and
knowledge, we can replace our prejudices with cooperation and understanding.
Q19. Why does the speaker say about prejudice?
Q20. Why does the speaker say prejudiced attitudes are dangerous?
Q21. When does the speaker say we begin to develop prejudiced attitudes?
Lecture 03
When I started high school, it was a shock. I had spent eight years fighting my way
to be the most popular kid in the Catholic school student body.
I had been a big, tough eighth grader, and suddenly I was a lowly ninth grader, bullied
by the big, tough 12th grade seniors who ran the high school.
I realized then that it's nice to strive for something. But that you also have to
enjoy the moment you're in and be happy where you are.
Rock and Roll had always been an important part of my life. I remember my friends
and I used to drive around until the late hours of the nights listening to the Music
of Rock and Roll Legends.
During those teenage years, I built friendships that I thought would last a
lifetime.
Most people that age think the same thing, but people drift apart. Jobs, families,
and tragedies separate people from those lasting friendships. The tragedy that
separated me from my friends forever was the Vietnam War.
A year after I graduated from high school, I left for Vietnam.
I came back burned out and tired, as though I had lived 10 lifetimes in the short
span of 14 months.
The 14 months I was in the war. I couldn't relate to the friends I had had in high
school. They still seemed childish, concerned with childish things that weren't
important to me. I was still trying to cope with the death, destruction, and evil
I had seen in Vietnam.
I felt like we had done terrible things to innocent people there, and in turn, I
had seen terrible things done to my friends. I withdrew from my friends and started
college.
Then I quit collage and took many different jobs. I spent a lot of my time and money
on alcohol and other drugs. Finally, in an effort to get my life going in the right
direction again, I sold everything and took what little money I had and bought myself
an airplane ticket to Israel.
I went there to study history while studying at High Five University, I met my wife,
who was also an American student. I now teach in a high school back in America. I
look at my students and see them struggling with many of the very things I struggled
with many years ago.
As a teacher, I try to help them over the rough spots as best I can.
Q22. How did the speaker feel when he started high school?
Q23. What did the speaker once think of teenage friendships?
Q24. What do we learn about the speaker when he returned from the Vietnam War?
Q25. What does the speaker try to do as a teacher?

Learn in diverse and effective ways
With the application of information technology in education, college students can
now learn in more diverse and effective ways. Benefited from this, students' learning
efficiency and learning effect has been improved.
First of all, studying through the online courses offered by the university is the
most common way for college students to study nowadays. Online education gets rid
of the traditional offline teaching mode, so that students are no longer restricted
by time and place. Even thousands of miles away, through the Internet, students can
learn knowledge anytime and anywhere, which greatly saves time. Secondly, through
the Internet, many college students can achieve unprecedented interaction, feedback
and communication with teachers, classmates and friends. The learning scope and
communication objects are also expanded with the application of information
technology in education, which is more convenient and efficient than the traditional
learning methods. Finally, college students can learn what they are interested in
through a variety of online platforms, which cover a broader and more cutting-edge
range of knowledge than what is taught in school.
We college students should actively adapt to and effectively make use of the more
diversified and effective learning styles. Only in this way can we quickly grow into
the talents needed by the society.

In an era of information explosion, it is vitally important to develop the ability
to think critically and make rational choices. There are two sides to everything,
dialectical thinking is of great importance for students because it is helpful in
the process of learning and students can benefit from it in the professional life
as well.
To begin with, students can benefit from the ability to think critically In the study.
There is an old Chinese saying that it is better not to believe in books at all,
rather than to believe in them implicitly. This proverb indicates that through
dialectical thinking students can discern the true from the false to make rational
judgments in their learning . Second, dialectical thinking will help us have a more
reasonable perception of different aspects and factors in the work. When we analyze
everything around us in a more holistic way, we are more likely to be driven by
favorable factors and have a greater chance of success in the workplace.
To sum up, in the age of information explosion, we must apply dialectical thinking
and make rational choices to write a colorful book of life.
加强培养大学生的团队精神
Just as the saying goes, “many hands make light job” . In modern society, it’s
beyond all doubt that the team spirit is a key factor contributing to success,
therefore, it is deemed essential to place a increasingly high value on cultivating
college students' team spirit.
In my view, there are a couple of reasons for the necessity of strengthening teamwork.
To begin with, teamwork provides each student a chance to communicate with others.
By discussing as a team member, they are able to be aware of their disadvantages
that are hardly be discovered by themselves, and their horizons, to some extent,
will be broadened in the meantime. In addition, to cultivate the college students'
team spirit is conducive to saving their time and energy so that they are available
to other activities in campus. Last but not least, college students will enter
society one day, hence they should equip themselves with the competence of working
together.
In a word, one thing for certain is to increase the importance of cultivating the
college students' team spirit is what we should do in the future.
