It looks quite easy. Mark ：I’m not so sure about that! Janet, there’s something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people

2、 in college are organizing charity events this term. We’ve decided to get involved. Janet ：Raising money for charity" Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don’t usually do that. Mark ：Students often do that here. Anyway, we’re thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet ：Sp

3、onsored punting! What’s that" Kate ：Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet ：What a great idea! I’d love to join you! Mark ：That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list

4、 of things we need to do. Kate ：I’ll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark ：Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I’ve got one here. Kate ：That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that" Mark

5、：I’ll do that. What have we got so far" Kate ：Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form … Um … We have to decide where the punt will start from. Mark ：Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently. Kate ：I’m with yo

6、u on that. Janet ：Me too … Conversation2 Janet ：I’m not used to boats – Woah! Mark ：Whoops! Kate ：Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing! Mark ：Sorry! I didn’t mean to. … OK, we’re off! Kate ：Maybe I should do the punting. Mark ：It’s fine. I’ve got the hang of it now – give me a chance

7、. Kate ：Well, I’d like to have a go. Mark ：Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to. Kate ：Yes, great. Janet ：You’re really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It’s e*actly how I imagined life here! Look over there – isn’t it lovely! Kate ：Yes, it is.

8、… Janet ：Kate, everything’s organized, isn’t it, for collecting the sponsorship money" Kate ：Yes, I’ve arranged for people to get the money to me by ne*t Friday – if they haven’t paid online. I’ll count it all up. Janet ：Good. We’d better have a meeting soon after that, don’t you think" How much

9、 have we raised" Kate ：About 600. Janet：Fantastic! I’m so enjoying this! Mark ：Hey guys, I’ve got a suggestion – how about moving over to the bank and we can have our piic! Hey, look, there’s Louise and Sophie! Mark ：Whoo … Girls： Mark! Janet ：Are you all right" Mark ：Er … Of course I’m all

10、 right. Kate, I think it’s your turn to punt! Outside view V/O 〔畫外音〕 Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Ale* Jude, the university’s Head of munications. He e*plained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the w

11、orld. Ale* Harvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, an

12、d the Kennedy School of government, for the John F. Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them. V/O 〔畫外音〕 We asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have. Ashley Um, well rela*ing is a little hard

13、to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and … Um, there’s a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s what I do. Adam It is whatever you want it to be. It’s good. If you wanna go out party, do anythin

14、g you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that. Brian Socially, like you said, it’s, it’s a lot of what you make it. Um, we don’t have fraternities here, and so, you know, that’s, it’s obviously not as social. There’s not as many parties

15、as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o’clock. And then we, and then we’ll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the ni

16、ght. Jodie Not everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it’s, I think it’s a fun place to be. Interviewer: Have you made a lot of friends" Jodie : Oh, definitely. Interview. ：Mm. Jodie: Many. Interviewer: What, what do you do with your friends" Jodie: Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I

17、’m in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend. V/O 〔畫外音〕 We asked the Harvard students if they use the Internet. Ashley: Um, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that

18、 a lot. And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so. Interviewer: So how often do you use it, a week, a day" Ashley: Um, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week. Brian: Oh yes, definitely. We

19、live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet, follow my stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even though is not officially Internet, we, that’s how we municate a lot at college, so, through the . John: Um, I use the internet mostly for, er, I’d say, sort of l

20、eisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don’t, we don’t have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the N website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there’s some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to espn. to see wh

21、at’s happening, follow the Boston Red So*, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don’t usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so. Listening in Passage 1 Voice-over Hi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SU

22、R, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers – now half-way through their first year – the question, ―How are you finding uni"‖ Here are some of the answers we got. Speaker 1 It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a

23、journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already. Speaker 2 I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I e*pected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my

24、family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month – that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much. Speaker 3 "How am I finding uni"‖ It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first

25、few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I – I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and getting good grades. Speaker 4 Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things

26、have been better recently – yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah – I’m feeling a lot happier now. Speaker 5 Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem – and it’s quite a big problem – is money. My paren

27、ts are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t – it’s just not enough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end. Speaker 6 I love

28、 my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely es first for me. Passage 2 O*ford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of tog

29、ether as "O*bridge‖. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly e top in any ranking of the world’s best universities. The two universities began within a century of each other. O*ford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there

30、was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of O*ford. As a result, some of the O*ford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very petitive. Unlike most modern universities, both O*ford and Ca

31、mbridge consist of a large number of colleges. O*ford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them. In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national e*ams taken at 18. But to get into O*ford and Cambri

32、dge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your e*ams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking. Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have

33、 produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives. Among the great university institutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the O*ford Union, where undergraduates get a chance

34、 to practise speaking in public. Cambridge’s edy club Footlights has produced many first-class edians, while some of the UK’s most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The O*ford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the O*ford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes p

35、lace every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK. So with all this e*cellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities. Unit 2 Mi*ed feelings Inside view Conve

36、rsation 1 Kate ：e in. Hey, Janet. Janet ：Hi Kate, are you busy" Kate ：Yes, I’m just doing an essay. But it’s great to see you. So what’s new" Janet ：Well, nothing much. Kate ：You look a bit fed up. What’s bugging you" Janet ：Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made me feel homesick

37、. It happens every time they call, and it gets me down. Kate ：I’m sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable after the call. Janet ：My dad doesn’t say much, and I want to speak to him, but I wish I knew what to say. Kate ：Don’t let it

38、get to you. My dad doesn’t say much on the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says, ―Hi, I’ll pass you to your mother.‖ It’s really irritating. Janet ：But I miss him and my mother a lot, and I like to hear his voice. Kate ：Just tell him what you’re up to. Janet ：Sometimes I feel as

39、if I made a mistake leaving home and ing to O*ford. Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager. Kate ：Try not to worry about it, Janet. It’s normal to feel like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will be fine ne*t term. You’ll get used to it. Hey, why don’t you do what I do" Janet

40、 ：What’s that" Kate ：When my dad calls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I get to hear his voice! Janet ：Maybe. I’m sorry to take up your time, Kate, but I must go now. Bye! Kate ：Wait a minute …! Conversation 2 Kate ：I think I may have upset Janet last night. Mark :

41、 What happened" Kate ：She came to see me. I was busy doing an essay but I was really pleased to see her. She’d had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick. Mark : Poor kid! It must be tough on you guys, living so far away from home. Kate ：I tried to make her laugh, told her not to wo

42、rry about it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, ―I must go now‖ and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if I’d said something wrong. Mark ：Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were w

43、orkingand didn’t want to disturb you. Kate ：I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to make her laugh" Perhaps she thought I wasn’t taking her seriously. Mark ：I wouldn’t worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel

44、 if you were a student at college in China" Kate ：I know. That’s why I feel bad. If only she had stayed longer! I wish I could have helped her more. Janet ：Hey, everyone! Mark ：Hi Janet, you look cheerful! Janet ：Yes, I’ve just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus! Kate ：What an amazing gra

45、de! Well done. Mark ：I’m really happy for you, Janet. Janet ：I feel on top of the world! Outside view Sebastien Hi. I’m Sebastien. I’m from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while, but recently there’s been this new idea of the EQ – your emotiona

46、l quotient. And by now, it’s actually almost being regarded as more important. If you look at it, businesses will … Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, … I mean, people,

47、 most people will have, um, their basic means of municating with other people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference between IQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a ―brainiac‖, and they

48、 will be great at most things they do, but if you just can’t get along with him, if you just can’t municate with him, I mean, you know, he’s not really that useful. Kim Hi. This is Kim. I’m originally from Korea, and I was raised in California. And today, we are going to talk about the differences

49、 between IQ and EQ – IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in … When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take … I think I’d taken like two or three IQ tests before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importa

50、nce on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about … It’s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.

51、I think they’re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are municating so much faster, there’s a better mi*ture of the two I think. There’s a stress on EQ

52、in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you. Ted Hello. My name is Ted, and I’m from the United States of America. Today, I’m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ – which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said,

53、―IQ. What’s your IQ" Take an IQ test.‖ But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they’re … that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ – how you deal with people, how you interact with people – is important. Now, a big part o

54、f this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I’m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and municate with them in a better way. So,

55、 part of EQ, I think, is listening – listening to others – and it can be more important than IQ. Listening in Passage 1 Presenter: We’re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has just written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world of ad

56、vertising. It’s called Market Colours. Dr Hudson, which are the most mon colours in advertising and marketing" Dr Hudson :Well, of course, it depends what image the marketing team wish to project with their products. So for e*ample, we often think of blue as a cold colour, but it also makes you fee

57、l peaceful, quiet, and it doesn’t suggest strong emotions. So it’s a favourite for banks and insurance panies, who wish to suggest the image that they are trustworthy. And for selling products, it’s often used to suggest something is pure and fresh. Presenter: What about red" Dr Hudson: You can se

58、ll almost anything with red. It’s a hot colour, which suggests a feeling of energy and even passion. It grabs your attention, and can make people buy almost anything. You often see red on magazine covers. But if you use it too much, it looks cheap and may make people tired. And orange has a similar

59、effect to red, it’s upbeat and happy, it suggests pleasant feelings and images. Most people react well to orange, and it’s especially popular in advertising and on packaging for baked food. Presenter: What about yellow, for instance" Dr Hudson: Yellow is the colour of sunshine and it’s a positive,

60、 happy colour, so it’s used a lot in advertising. But it’s also often used for warning signs, direction signs, and so on, where you have to read the message quickly and at a distance. Presenter: What about less popular colours for advertising" Dr Hudson: Surprisingly, green isn’t used much in adve

61、rtising e*cept for garden products. It’s friendly and restful. It can be cool and soothing, the colour of apples and mint, but it can also be quite strong and many people associate it with unpleasant ideas of decay or slimy creatures. But most colours are not primary colours, they’re a bination. Abs

62、olutely. So yellow-orange is mon, and often used to give animpression of style and class, it looks like gold. But it’s not often used in letters because it’s not very strong. And yellow-green reminds people of feeling sick. Blue-green works well as a cool colour, suggesting freshness, and is sometim

63、es used for toothpaste products, bathroom products, food and household cleaning products. It has many of the advantages of blue without the disadvantages of green. Presenter: Fascinating！Thank you very much, Dr Hudson. Market Colours by Dr Jenna Hudson is on sale from ne*t week, priced ￡15.99 … Pa

64、ssage 2 Presenter ：What makes you embarrassed, Sally" Sally ：Oh, I’m easily embarrassed. If anybody notices me or looks at me, I get very embarrassed. When people sing me Happy Birthday on my birthday, I get very embarrassed. Presenter ：And what makes you upset" Sally ：When people are selfish,

65、people who think only of themselves. And cruelty – I can’t bear people who are cruel, especially to animals or children. Presenter ：Jake, what makes you depressed" Jake ：I hate it when it rains, and I don’t like people who look down on me, who think they’re superior to me without any reason. Pr

66、esenter ：And what makes you angry" Jake ：When people don’t behave properly in public, bad behaviour like dropping litter or people pushing each other on the bus or the train. Presenter ：Andrew, what makes you cheerful" Andrew ：I like to see everyone around me being happy and having a positive attitude towards the future, optimistic people. Presenter ：And what makes you jealous" Andrew ：Well, to be honest, I just never feel jealous. I can’t see the point of it. Presenter ：Monica, what mak
