Part 1

V: Hi. There are a lot of things that I’ d like to do but I’ ve never done before.

I’ m not really adaredevil, so things like bungee jumping are not really my cup of tea, but Ido know that trying new things makes you feel good. Today, I’ m going to talkto people about trying new things and achievement. How do you feel about tryingnew things?

Part 2

Ml: I’ m up for trying new things. Depends what they are, obviously, um, some thingsI wouldn’ t try, but I’ d give most things a go.

M2: I always enjoy trying new things. I like to meet new people and, try new food,see new places, see different things. It’ s always nice to see that.Wl: I love to try new things. I love to travel.

Part 3

V: What stops you from trying new things?

W2: Fear, probably.

M2: Time and money complicates trying new things. It’ s hard to find time to traveland it’ s hard to afford enough money to travel as well.

M3: Probably, at the moment, school - I don t have a lot of time; I’ ve got a lotof work. Money, as well.

I’ ve gone out and performed in front of, er, I suppose, thousands of peoplenow and they’ ve laughed.

Wl: I guess um, finishing school, um, with a high level and - so far not a lot - but

I’ ve learnt French better than I thought I would, so, I’ m proud of that, Iguess. I’ m still learning.

.helping me to get a place in university.

W2: Well, I feel that I’ ve become er, quite a good person and I guess I’ m proudof that.

M3: Probably business leaders such as Richard Branson um, as he started off, you knowas, as hardly anything and then he built a huge business empire and he’ s amultimillionaire.

W1: I admire my grandmother, actually. She’ s not around anymore, but she was a teacherlike I want to be and she taught me so much about life.

M1: NelsonMandela, I admire him a lot because er, not onlybecause he was imprisoned,which er, and he survived that for many years and wasn’ t bitter.

Not manypeople er, have the ability or the skills to do that.

T = Tim; J = John; P = Peggy

T: So what about your memory, Peggy? How good is it?

P: It’ s OK, which is lucky ‘cause I need to remember lots of things.

J: Like what?

P: Well, I’ ma sales rep for apublishing company so I’ musuallyout visiting schools,trying to sell books.

J: So you need to remember . . . what exactly?

P: Oh, lots of things. The worst thing when I started was just trying to rememberhow to get to these schools in my car. I used to get lost all the time. I’ m notvery good at directions. Then once you’ re there you have to remember the namesand faces of the people you’ re talking to. I once spent awhole hour calling thiswoman Sally when her name was Samantha.

T: And she didn’ t tell you?

P: For some reason she didn’ t tell me. And then there’ s all the product information.

J: Product information? What, the books?

P: Yes. We sell about 500 different books and I have to know the difference betweenall of them. I mean, it gets easier, thank goodness, but I still make mistakesoccasionally. What about you, John? You’ re an actor, right?

J: Yeah. The main thing I have to remember is my lines. Fortunately, I’ ve got a goodmemory for words, and I don’ t find it that hard to memorize them. So, I mean,yeah. And the other thing you have to remember when you’ re in the theater is theer, blocking.

T: What’ s that?

J: Blocking? It’ s er, it’ s where you stand or, or move to, you know?Er, like, whenyou say yourwords youmight have to walk quickly across the stage or move in front

.of someone. It’ s all planned and er, you have to remember it.

T: Oh, I see.

J: But it’ s funny: For, for other things I have a terrible memory. I’ m totallyuseless. I always forget birthdays and dates. I’ m always late for things. It’ sjust . . . yeah . . . luckily, I’ m OK with my lines.

P: What about you, Tim?

T: I5m probably the same as all other students. At least all other history students.I have to memorize dates and also names. But it5s not that difficult because youread about them so much you can’ t really forget them. But for other things I havea really bad memory. I can never remember jokes or films. Sometimes I’ m watchinga film and afteran hour I realize I’ ve seen it already. I’ m completely hopelesslike that.

J: Oh, oh, me too. Tell me. . .

S: How are you feel (feeling)?

CB: I feel like I am in some sort of a . . . odd dream. I really do.

AC: All those nerves, all that adrenalin, it’ s all gonna come flowing out as soonas we get on the water.

S: Yeah, yeah. So . . . remove the fear and just keep focused on what you’ ve gottado and that is,land on that beach in Calais.

CB: Now it’ s just me against the Channel.

S: Go!

CB: I’ mdeterminednot to fall inbut I soon realize determinationmight not be enough.After several falls into the freezing water I already feel like I can’ t takemuch more.

S: We’ re just about a quarter of the way in and she’ s already fallen five times- now that . . . thatis gonna take its toll without any shadow of a doubt in the later stages. Everytime she goes in, I get a bit more worried. The weather’ s not looking good.There’ s white tops on the waves.

CB: But despitemybest efforts, thewind andwaves mean I can’ t stop myself falling.

S: She’ s fallen in 10 times in just 10 miles. That simply isn’ t good enough forthis challenge.

Role-play

MScripM tsan; W = Woman

M: It5s interesting: One of the most intelligent people I know is a 10-year-old boyfrom Egypt. He, he doesn’ t go to school and he works on a street in Cairo, inone of the touristy areas. Andhe sells things like small statues of the pyramids,things like that, to tourists. Now, the reason I say he’ s intelligent is thathe can sell you something in about 15 languages. I once spent an afternoonwatchinghim, and it was incredible. Most of the timehe uses English, but he guesses whereyou’ re from by looking at you, and then he starts speaking. He can speak justa little bit of French, Spanish„Japanese, Italian, German, etc. It’ s amazing.He knows just enough in all these languages to say hello and sell you something.

W: How did he learn the languages?

M: I asked him that and he said he learned them by talking to tourists.

W: Ah, that is quite amazing.

M: So anyway, that’ s my example. Like I said, he doesn’ t go to school. But for me,he’ s super-intelligent. What about you?

W: I can think of loads of people who don’ t have any qualifications but are able

精品文档

.to do really difficult things. I’ ve got a friend, for example, who built his ownhouse. He just taught himself how to do it, bought a piece of land, bought thematerials and the equipment and just did it. No qualifications, no certificates,no university degree. In my view, that’ s a real practical kind of intelligence.

M: Yeah, I couldn’ t do that.

W: Let me give you another example. I’ ve got another friend who takes parts of oldcars and makes new cars from them. He does it at the weekend as a way to relax.And the new car actually works!

M: I couldn’ t do that either.

W: I wouldn’ t know where to start. And this is someone who left school at 15 to doan apprenticeship. But you know, having said that, I do think qualifications areuseful in some ways. I mean, for one thing, they show that you are able to completea course, that you’ re motivated and committed enough.

M: Yeah, I think that’ s true.

W: But I must say real-life experience, traveling, going out and meeting people,talking„I think these give you an amazing education, too.

M: Exactly. That’ s what I was saying. Just like the boy from Egypt.

Group discussion

Scrip ts

T = Tracy Hackston

T: A couple of years ago, er, I learned how to scuba dive whichwasum, really exciting,really good experience and when you5re learning, half of the, the, the trainingis in the classroom and half is practical in a swimming pool. So the classroomstuff was fine. Um, I found it really quite easy. I was learning with my mum andshe was really worried about doing the kind of more academic stuff and passingthe exam but I found that part OK. It was the practical stuff that I had troublewith and she was really lucky. She was um, really good. But you go and you learnall the, the technical stuff, you know, how to go under the water, how to clearyour mask if you get water in it, that kind of thing. And then you have to do twodives outside in a, in a kind of reservoir or a quarry or, you know, somethinglike that. But obviously because I’ m in the UK, it was really, really cold andwe woke up on the morning of our dive and there was ice on the water, so when wegot there we were very nervous and didn’ t want to get into the water. But onceI was in, it was so freezing that I tried to go under the water, but the more Itried the harder it got and then I got very frustrated and started to cry, andthen all my ears got blocked up and I couldn’ t get under. But eventually I managedit and um, went down, passed my test, did all of the skills that you need to do.Despite the fact that I was so terrible at it I managed to pass and um, now I’ mpassed, I can go anywhere I want, so I’ ll make sure it will be somewhere veryhot. So, um, to sum up, although it was a really difficult, really difficultchallenge, I’ m so glad I managed it. Um„For me, it was quite an achievementand, and I’ m proud of myself for having done it.

W: Actually, I’ ve got two. And I’ ll let you have one for the price of a coffee.

Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation?

Conversation 3

M: Professor Smith, I’ d like to have your advice as to my career development in thefuture.

W: It’ s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ llmake it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics.

Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?

Conversa’tion 4

W: Ihcand t believe Ken missed such an important lecture even though I reminded himt e aybefore yesterday.

M: You should know him better by now. He5s known for taking everything in one ear andstraight out the other.

Q: What does the man imply?

Long conversation

W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I needpermission to drop your class, Literatureand Writing.

M: It’ s only the secondweek of class, Stacey. Why are you givingup so quickly?We’ veonlywritten one essay so far, and you won’ t get your grade back until next Wednesday!

W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don’ t want to risk lowering

精品文档

.my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class!

M: OK„What’ s worrying you?

W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to writethe three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know.

But a writing course . . . I don’ t know. I’ ll just take a film class next semester,not hard at all - a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanitiesrequirements.

M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy.

But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15thstreet, math helped me!

W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That’ s our favorite coffee place. We get coffeeand screenplay at more than 30 different production dessert there every week - andwork on math homework.

M: Yeah, that’ s my shop. Stacey, let’ s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety ofskills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. Thiswriting class will serve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign upfor free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at 11 a.m. and I’ ll work withyou. Together you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal?

W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl!

Passage 1

Scrip ts

In 1978, as I applied to study filmat the University of Illinois, my father objectedandquotedme a statistic, “Everyyear, 50,000 performers compete for 200 availableroleson Broadway. ” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US.

Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to understandmy father5s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chinese newcomer to make it inthe American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years ofannoying, hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping filmcrews with theirequipment or working as editor’ s assistant. My most painful experience involvedshopping a screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and being metwith harsh rejection each time.

That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’ t even support myself. What could I do?Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me strong support. Herincome was terriblymodest. To relieve me fromfeeling guilty, I took on all housework- cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son- in addition to reading, reviewing filmsand writing scripts.

It was rather shameful for a man to live this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolledin a computer course at a community college. At that time, it seemed that only theknowledge of computer could quickly make me employable. One morning, right beforeshe got in her car to head off to work, my wife turned back and - standing there onour front steps - said, “Ang Lee, don’ t forget your dream. ”

Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to shoot my own

精品文档

.films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards. Recallingearlier times, mywife confessed, “I’ ve always believed that youonlyneedone gift.Your gift is making films. ” And today, I’ ve finally won that golden statue. I thinkmy own perseverance and my wife’ s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met theirreward.

Q1: When did Ang Lee come to understand his father’ s concern about studying film?

Q2: What was Ang Lee’ s most painful experience according to the passage?

Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer course at a community college?

Q4: What did Ang Lee’ s wife think of him according to the passage?

Passage 2

Scrip ts and answers

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident,it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It’ sso important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do anything under any

2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. That beliefjust keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it.Confidence is more thanan attitude. It comes from knowing exactlywhere youare going,and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of purpose. Itcomes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let lifehappen.

One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a recordof successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal self-importance.Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence comes fromstrength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidenceis knowing you can do it, and knowingthat you are capable of 8) accomplishing anythingyou want.

Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort, commitment andselfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the powerto change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live withyour goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) prioritiesin mind, then you will have the life you want.
