[03:04.14]Part III
[03:10.64]Summary and Discussion
[03:14.04]3.3 Discussion
[03:18.11]1)The conversation you\'re about to hear
[03:23.23]is slightly different from the text printed below.
[03:28.12]As you listen the first time,
[03:31.72]underline the places where what you hear differs from what\'s printed.
[03:37.73]Father:So tell me what Eddie\'s teacher said at your meeting today.
[03:42.82]Mother:She says he\'s afraid to fail.
[03:46.72]Father:Afraid to fail?
[03:49.93]What\'s wrong with that?!He\'s supposed to be afraid to fail!
[03:55.13]Mother:She says fear of failure is destructive.
[03:59.52]She says Eddie\'s fear of failure is keeping him from doing his best.
[04:05.39]And she says it\'s our fault.
[04:09.60]She says we need to teach Eddie how to fail.
[04:14.51]Father:How to fail?!Teach him how to fail?!That\'s crazy!
[04:20.39]Mother:I thought so too,but then she compared it to learning to ride a horse.
[04:27.08]Until you learn to fall,you\'ll never be a really good rider,
[04:32.59]because you\'ll always be afraid of falling.
[04:36.87]Father:Hm.So did she have any recommendations for how to teach Eddie to fail?
[04:44.26]Mother:Yes,she made two suggestions.
[04:48.65]First,she said you have to stop telling Eddie it doesn\'t matter when he fails.
[04:55.26]Father:Me?!I don\'t tell him that!
[04:59.26]Mother:Yes,you do every time his team loses a football match you say it doesn\'t matter.
[05:06.55]Father:Well,what am I supposed to say?
[05:10.96]I don\'t want the poor kid to have a nervous breakdown every time he loses a game.
[05:17.36]Mother:His teacher says that by saying that,
[05:21.46]you\'re teaching him that his natural feeling of disappointment is unnecessary,
[05:27.65]when its really the best motivation he has to learn something from his failure.
[05:34.55]Father:Hmp.I guess that makes sense.What else did she suggest?
[05:40.77]Mother:That lowering our standards is bad for Eddie.
[05:45.86]Father:Ha!Like when you told him that ugly ashtray he made for you is the most beautiful ashtray in the world?
[05:54.25]Mother:But it is beautiful to me!Everything Eddie makes for me is beautiful!
[06:00.72]Father:I know,I know but even I can see that telling him things like that
[06:07.20]teaches him that he doesn\'t have to try.
[06:11.41]Mother:But what am I supposed to tell him?
[06:15.12]"That\'s so ugly,sweetheart, but I love you anyway"?!

[06:20.32]Father:Sounds good to me!
[06:26.22]Part IV
[06:32.62]Listening and Speaking
[06:36.41]4.1 Understanding a Conversation
[06:41.92]2)Now listen to the conversation,
[06:47.01]and this time complete the question naire below with the answers you hear on the tape.
[06:54.01]Clare:Good evening,ladies and gentlemen.
[06:58.01]Our guest tonight is Feng Tao,the famous Chinese millionaire,
[07:04.12]who\'s here to tell us just what it takes to be a success full person.
[07:10.32]So,Mr.Feng,what does success mean to you?
[07:15.72]What standards do you use to judge whether someone is successful?
[07:21.52]Feng Tao:Well,to me a successful person is someone who does the best they can in every situation
[07:29.41]someone who is respected by others;
[07:33.33]and who has a happy family life.
[07:37.93]Clare:So it has nothing to do with having a lot of money?
[07:42.63]Feng Tao:Well,money doesn\'t hurt!(They both laugh.)
[07:47.72]Clare:Seriously,though,I know money isn\'t everything,
[07:53.03]but most of our listeners would be interested in
[07:57.73]hearing about the secrets of your financial success.
[08:02.82]What do you think is the most important ingredient in that kind of success?
[08:09.22]Feng Tao:Well,first of all,I think you need ambition
[08:14.32]you have to be ready to do everything you can to achieve what you want.
[08:20.43]The second thing you need is a strong will.
[08:24.53]If you keep changing your mind,you\'ll never get anywhere.
[08:30.33]And you need to know how to treat people.
[08:34.82]No man is an island,as they say,
[08:39.03]and if you want to get ahead you need to count on other peoples help a lot of the time.
[08:45.71]Clare:What about natural talent?
[08:49.29]Are some people just born to be more successful than others?
[08:54.99]Feng Tao:I\'m not so sure.
[08:58.67]I think luck probably has more to do with it than talent.
[09:03.48]Clare:So if you were going to choose one factor that\'s the real key to financial success,
[09:10.77]which one would you say is the most important? Could you choose one?
[09:16.75]Feng Tao:Ambition.Without ambition,
[09:21.06]you won\'t have the motivation to do what you have to do to change your life.
[09:29.94]4.2 Retelling a Story
[09:39.74]2)Listen to the following passage twice
[09:44.93]and,as you listen,fill in the blanks with the missing information.
[09:51.12]While traveling in Australia,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money.
[09:57.32]So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500.
[10:02.59]He wrote,"Send the money by telegram to the Fisher bank in Perth."
[10:09.38]After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank.
[10:14.87]He showed his passport.
[10:18.55]The Bank clerk told him nothing had come for him.
[10:23.46]This went on for two weeks and Mr.Frank got very worried.
[10:28.95]He sent a telegram to his brother,asking where the money was.
[10:34.46]There was no reply,and still no money arrived.
[10:39.35]In the fourth week Mr.Frank was (5) arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.
[10:45.72]His passport and baggage were taken from him.
[10:50.11]He tried to explain the problem,but no one believed him.
[10:55.60]He was sent to prison for sixty days.
[10:59.67]When he got out he went immediately to the Fisher Bank.
[11:04.95]The clerk he spoke to was a new man.
[11:08.76]"Have you received $500 for me?"He asked."My name is Jackson Frank."
[11:15.45]The clerk checked his books."Yes,Mr.Jackson,its here.
[11:21.35]It came by telegram more than three months ago.
[11:25.66]We wondered where you were."He showed Mr.Frank the order.
[11:31.85]It read:Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500.
[11:38.75]"But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank Jackson."
[11:44.13]"Oh,that\'s all right,sir.
[11:47.63]It was in our books under the letter J,but its your money."
[11:52.93]The clerk laughed.
[11:55.73]"A human mistake,sir!It\'s only human to make mistakes."
[12:01.24]Mr.Frank was silent.He really wanted to hit somebody.
[12:07.04]At last he said,A human mistake,
[12:11.32]is that what you call it? I think some humans need kicking.
[12:19.81]4.3 Note-Taking

[12:27.91]2)Listen to the following passage twice and,as you listen,
[12:34.21]take down some notes about the following points.
[12:39.12]What can we get from good books?
[12:44.21]First of all,good books can give us pleasure.
[12:49.02]There are many kinds of joy to be found in good books:
[12:54.11]enjoyment of the story,the ideas,the use of beautiful language.
[13:00.90]Even the smell and feel of a good book can bring us pleasure.
[13:06.78]Secondly,good books can offer us companionship.
[13:12.29]With good books in hands we need never be lonely.
[13:18.09]The people we meet in books may delight us
[13:22.79]either because they resemble human friends that we hold dear,
[13:28.49]or because they present unfamiliar types that we are glad to welcome as new friends
[13:35.99]Thirdly,good books can widen our experience.
[13:41.60]Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of adventures,
[13:48.60]but all of us can lead richer lives and experience
[13:53.88]a variety of feelings through reading good books.
[13:59.08]Since we can derive from good books pleasure,companionship and experience,
[14:06.97]we should spare some time and reads many good books as possible. 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
