11、 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.C Task 2: Big John is coming! Script A bar owner in the Old West has just hired a timid bartender. This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3

12、) drop everything and run for the hills! He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!” A few weeks pass (S5) uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!” When the bartender leaves the bar to sta

13、rt running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he’s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall.

14、eer NOW!” He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking.

16、at oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when human or certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling. To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When

17、their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, im

18、balance a state of unhappiness. Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement prod

19、uces a state of balance or sense of happiness. According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, fol

20、lowed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought. For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals

21、. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals’ goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced. 1. Why does the speaker mention “magnets”? 2. According to the passage, what may animals do after they have got food? 3. Which of the followi

22、ng is true according to the speaker? 4. What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings? 5. Which of the following best captures the main idea of the passage? Keys: 1D 2.C3. B 4.D 5.A IV. Speaking Out MODEL 1 Don’t let it get to you! Susan: You look so

23、 angry. What happened? Chris: Nothing I’d rather not talk about it. Just don’t ask. Susan: Come on. Relax. Talk to me. Chris: All right. This morning I took my car to the garage to check the air conditioner. They only gave it a quick look, refilled it with some Freon, and charged me 300bucks! S

24、usan: No wonder you’re livid. I’d be mad too if someone ripped me off like that. Chris: Yeah. And they were rude. They said I didn’t know anything about cars, which I don’t, but they didn’t have to be blunt! Susan: Sounds like you got a raw deal! Chris: What’s worse, as I was leaving, I herd th

Anyway, I’m getting bad grades, and I was told that I’d have to repeat a lot of courses next year. When I heard that, I almost lost it. Susan: Look, re

37、 the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention. Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families. Physiology is another factor related to depress

38、ion. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known

39、 that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression. Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that lo

40、w self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem. Another factor causing depression

41、 is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life. Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, lo

42、ng periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved. It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which a

43、dds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed. Depression-causing Factors Problem Description Solution Heredity It is inherited and run in families. Physiology changes or imbalances in chemicals called neurotransmitters, which transmit information in the brain Antidepressan

46、with somebody with depression This causes increased anxiety, which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed. VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Reason and Emotion Script Emotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase s

47、uch as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed t

48、hat one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason. However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact

49、. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, whic

50、h is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In

51、 such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual lo

52、gic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both. 1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions? 2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion? 3. What does the speaker mean by “cold “? 4. According to the passage, what should peo

53、ple do in religious matters? 5. What is the speaker’s conclusion? Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.D Task 2: Depression Script Pat: You look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up. Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps. Life’s miserable P

54、at: You have to try to get your mind off things. Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much pressure on me sometimes! Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem? Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored

55、. Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”. Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored. Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline. But how can I stay cheerful al

56、l the time? Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam. Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK. Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time? Pat: Try to look on the bright s

57、ide of things. Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side? Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play. Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old

58、sayings are making me even more depressed. Keys: TFFTF Task3: Anger Script Anger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choic

59、es: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away,

60、especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over. There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed. At that moment you should adm

61、it you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place

62、by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcano Then, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves,

63、“What made me angry?” When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution. News Report U.S. Roller Coaster Script The world’s first 4D roller

64、 coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles. After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds

65、 up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour. The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, bo

66、th forwards and backwards, through the entire ride. Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives. The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips. Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this
