[00:05.22]Unit 3
[00:07.92]The Tale of a Cultural Translator
[00:12.41]Part II
[00:15.10]Guided conversation
[00:18.29]2.1 Sample Conversations
[00:23.17]1)Now that we\'ve learned ways of asking for peoples opinions,
[00:29.54]we need to know some good ways to agree and disagree with them!
[00:35.42]Listen to the following dialogs,
[00:39.42]paying special attention to the colored parts and their intonation.
[00:45.01]A
[00:47.31]A:That was a terrible film.
[00:50.99]B:You\'re right.It was pretty bad.
[00:55.28]A:The plot was impossible to follow.
[00:59.17]B:I couldn\'t agree with you more.
[01:02.64]A:And the acting was awful,especially the leading actors.
[01:08.02]B:Well,I wouldn\'t say that.
[01:11.31]I think he did as well as he could under the circumstances.
[01:19.49]B
[01:21.97]A:Good evening,everyone.Today\'s topic is television.
[01:27.07]Brenda,could we begin with you?
[01:30.88]What do you think of today\'s TV programs?
[01:35.16]B:Well,if you ask me they\'re terrible.
[01:39.45]Most of the programs are a complete waste of time.
[01:44.65]C:I agree.But what bothers me most is that there\'s too much violence on TV.
[01:50.84]D:I think so too.As far as I\'m concerned there are too many shootings.
[01:57.92]And the news programs are completely useless.
[02:02.72]They don\'t tell you anything any more.
[02:07.22]C:Oh,I\'m sorry,but I have to disagree.
[02:10.93]I think the news reports are better than ever,especially the sports and financial news.
[02:17.51]B:Well,maybe,but there\'s more in the world than sports and money.
[02:26.10]C
[02:28.69]A:You know,I think this country\'s whole problem is overpopulation.
[02:34.91]B:Well,I\'m not sure that I agree with you.
[02:39.01]It seems to me that overpopulation is only one of our problems.
[02:44.70]What about unemployment?
[02:47.89]C:That\'s just what I was thinking.
[02:51.60]Unemployment is a big problem,especially in the big cities.
[02:56.90]A:Yes,but unemployment is just an effect of overpopulation!
[03:02.99]C:How can you say that?
[03:06.38]Unemployment is an effect of high technology,not overpopulation.
[03:12.37]A:Nonsense!If there weren\'t so many people there wouldn\'t be any unemployment.
[03:23.18]Part III
[03:25.98]Summary and Discussion
[03:29.87]3.3 Discussion
[03:33.97]Now you\'re going to take a self-awareness test
[03:38.96]to check your responses to some unusual situations.
[03:44.65]You\'ll hear the recording twice;
[03:48.83]as you listen,circle your response to each of the questions you hear.
[03:55.91]Hello,and welcome to our Cultural Self-Awareness Quiz.
[04:02.31]Get your pencils ready,and listen to the situations we\'ve prepared for you.
[04:09.03]As you listen,mark the response that best matches your own.
[04:15.11]Don\'t think too much before making your choices
[04:19.53]your first reaction is the most important.
[04:24.41]Situation One:
[04:27.91]Imagine you\'re walking down the streets of a foreign city on a pleasant summer evening.
[04:34.21]You\'ve just reached a street corner.
[04:37.79]There\'s no traffic on the road,
[04:41.18]so although the light is red,you start to cross the street.
[04:46.88]Just as you step into the street,a stranger stops you.
[04:52.57]he doesn\'t want you to cross against a red light.
[04:57.27]What do you tell him?
[05:00.96]Situation Two:
[05:07.46]Sitting in a cafe in the foreign city,
[05:11.95]you suddenly realize it\'s on the same street as a famous museum.
[05:17.65]You ask the waiter how long it would take you to walk to the museum.
[05:22.85]He replies,About half an hour.It\'s a nice day,so you decide to walk.
[05:30.63]Two hours later you finally reach the museum,completely exhausted.
[05:37.24]What are you thinking?
[05:40.35]Situation Three:
[05:46.93]You\'re at the airport,waiting to check in for your flight home.
[05:52.73]The check in counter opens and as you step up to it with your baggage,
[05:58.53]six people push ahead of you in the line.
[06:02.92]How do you feel?
[06:05.61]Situation Four:
[06:12.22]So many people pushed ahead of you in line that you missed your plane

[06:17.52]and have to stay in the foreign city.
[06:21.62]So you need to find a job.
[06:25.02]Your first interview is for a job that you\'re very well qualified for.
[06:31.11]The interviewer tells you she\'s sorry,
[06:35.02]but you aren\'t the right person for the position.
[06:39.70]As you\'re leaving,she adds in a kind voice:Just one piece of advice,dear:
[06:47.09]You really must get a different necktie!
[06:51.30]How do you react?
[06:54.69]Now it\'s time to score.
[07:02.79]If you had mostly 1 responses,you are a very monocultural person.
[07:10.50]If you want to get ahead in the global village,
[07:15.49]you\'d better work on being more culturally flexible.
[07:20.29]If you had mostly 2 responses,congratulations!
[07:26.48]You\'re very culturally sensitive and flexible,
[07:31.29]and you\'re likely to feel comfortable in many multicultural situations.
[07:37.69]If most of your responses were 3s:You need to work on your listening comprehension!
[07:45.58]Thank you,and we hope you enjoyed our Cultural Self-awareness Quiz.
[07:55.69]Part IV
[08:02.38]Listening and Speaking
[08:05.75]4.1.Understanding a Conversation
[08:10.95]3.Now listen carefully to the following conversation between Wand Ping,
[08:18.94]a Chinese visitor to the US,and Brenda,an American friend.
[08:25.44]As you listen,find the answers to the following questions.
[08:31.32]Wang Ping:I can\'t believe this traffic!
[08:35.60]Brenda:Well,it\'s rush hour.
[08:38.82]Wang Ping:We\'ll never make it on time!
[08:42.50]Brenda:Don\'t worry,we\'ll get there...
[08:46.32]Hey,there\'s Mcdonalds,lets stop and get some soda.
[08:51.80]Wang Ping:But we\'re going to be late!We don\'t have time!
[08:56.82]Brenda:It\'ll be quick,it\'s a drive-in.We don\'t even have to get out of the car.
[09:02.90]Wang Ping:Oh well,you\'re driving.what can I say?
[09:07.71]Clerk:Hi.What would you like?
[09:11.11]Brenda:Hi.We\'d like two Cokes,please.
[09:15.52]Clerk:Small,medium or large?
[09:19.10]Brenda:Large,please.
[09:21.89]Wing Ping:How about getting some French fries,too?
[09:25.68]Brenda:OK.And two large orders of fries,please.
[09:30.78]Clerk:That\'ll be $5.50.
[09:35.19]Brenda:Here you are.
[09:37.67]Wang Ping:You Americans are so funny!you\'re married to your cars.
[09:42.84]Brenda:What do you mean?
[09:45.82]Wang Ping:You never get out of your cars!
[09:49.79]You have drive-in restaurants,drive-in banks
[09:54.57] I even went to a drive-in movie last week.
[09:59.28]Brenda:Yeah,I guess that\'s true.Americans love their cars.
[10:04.79]Most of us drive everywhere.
[10:08.47]In fact I read that about 85 percent of American travel is by private automobile.
[10:16.49]Only 15 percent of travel is by plane,bus or train.
[10:22.29]The country is becoming one big highway.
[10:26.57]Wang Ping:Do you know what else I find interesting?
[10:30.39]The American love for car sports.
[10:34.49]Brenda:Oh,yeah.Car racing.That always attracts large crowds.
[10:40.89]And have you ever heard of the demolition derby?
[10:45.07]Wang Ping:Demolition derby?
[10:48.65]Brenda:Uh-huh.A bunch of old cars crash into each other,
[10:54.55]until only one car is still running.That car is the winner.
[11:00.56]Wang Ping:Oh!That sounds funny!Why don\'t we go someday?
[11:08.24]4.2 Retelling a Story
[11:17.02]2)Now listen to the following story and,as you listen,
[11:22.89]decide whether the following statements are true(T) or false(F).
[11:28.90]Miss Miller lived beside a church in a small street on the edge of town.
[11:36.29]She didn\'t have a car.
[11:39.61]On Friday she always walked to the bus stop,
[11:44.10]and then she went to the market and bought food for the next week.
[11:49.90]There were usually a lot of people in the bus,but Miss Miller always found a seat.
[11:57.51]One of the houses at the corner of Miss Miller\'s street had been empty for a long time,
[12:04.61]but one day a family came to live in it.
[12:09.50]On Friday morning Miss Miller went to the house to meet her new neighbors.
[12:16.10]She introduced herself and said,"I\'m going to the market now.Do you need anything?"
[12:23.50]"Miss Miller,"the woman said, "you\'re very kind.

[12:29.01]I need a lot of things from the market,but I don\'t know the way yet.
[12:34.81]Can I come with you?Please do." Miss Miller answered.
[12:40.40]The two women went out and walked along to the bus stop.
[12:45.60]As they waited there,Miss Miller said to her new friend,
[12:51.00]"Buses this time of day are always full,but I can get a seat."
[12:57.69]"Oh?Is that easy?"she asked.
[13:01.77]Miss Miller smiled and answered,"Wait and see."
[13:06.78]The bus came, and the two women got in.
[13:11.88]It was completely full,but Miss Miller said in a loud,clear voice:
[13:18.67]"Perhaps those two very handsome men will give us their seats."
[13:24.78]Six men immediately stood up,and the two women sat down in the nearest seats.
[13:34.68]4.3 Note-Taking
[13:43.56]Now you are going to hear descriptions of disasters by four survivors.
[13:50.46]Listen to the tape twice and take notes to fill the following chart while you listen.
[13:57.96]Host:Good evening.Our program tonight is about disasters.
[14:04.54]This year there have been fires,plane crashes,earthquakes,and volcanic eruptions.
[14:12.53]All our guests tonight have survived disasters.
[14:17.52]Guest 1:I\'m Bill Ford.I live in Chicago.
[14:23.32]I was working in my office on the 28th floor of a skyscraper when the fire alarm went off.
[14:31.13]At first I thought it was a false alarm.
[14:35.31]But when I smelled smoke I rushed to the elevator but it wasn\'t working.
[14:41.50]The stairs were full of thick smoke.
[14:45.50]We couldn\'t go down,so we had to go up to the roof.
[14:50.70]When we got there,some people were waiting calmly.
[14:56.00]Others were shouting and screaming wildly.
[14:59.89]A helicopter managed to land on the roof and rescued seven of us before the building collapsed.
[15:07.28]Guest 2:My names Martha Grey.
[15:12.27]I was on holiday in a small island in the south Pacific.
[15:17.37]I was having a rest when the volcano erupted.
[15:22.36]The noise woke me up.I looked through the window.
[15:27.35]Everybody was running towards the harbor.
[15:31.45]I didn\'t know what to do,
[15:35.13]so I put on my bathrobe it was all.I could find and ran to the harbor too.
[15:42.11]I managed to get on a ship.It was just leaving when the lava hit the town.
[15:49.29]The hotel where I\'d been staying was totally destroyed.
[15:55.19]Guest 3:Hello.I\'m George Green.I\'m a farmer,
[16:01.59]and I was working in the field behind my house when I saw the plane.
[16:07.68]It was on fire.
[16:10.55]Smoke was pouring out of the engines,and it was coming down fast.
[16:16.33]I just stood there staring at it stupidly I couldn\'t believe my eyes!
[16:22.91]and it crashed into the trees just behind me.
[16:27.32]I remember hearing a terrible explosion
[16:32.21]and the next thing I remember is waking up in a hospital bed.
[16:37.83]They told me three people died.
[16:42.21]Guest 4:Good evening.My name\'s Rosemary Young.
[16:46.71]My husband and I were staying with friends in Hawaii.
[16:51.72]We were having dinner when the earthquake began.
[16:55.41]Everything was shaking.I was terrified!
[16:59.40]Our hosts shouted that we should get under the dining room table.
[17:03.97]Just as we did,the ceiling collapsed.
[17:07.87]We couldn\'t move,and we had to wait for three hours before the rescue team arrived.
[17:13.46]But if we hadn\'t been under that table, we would\'ve been killed for sure. 现在大学英语上哪本书 新应用大学英语基础篇2 大学英语2听说教程 大学英语听说教程4 大学英语听说教程3 大学英语听说教程陈向京 大学英语听说教程第二版 大学英
