七夕,古今诗人惯咏星月与悲情。吾生虽晚,世态炎凉却已看透矣。情也成空,且作“挥手袖底风”罢。是夜,窗外风雨如晦,吾独坐陋室,听一曲《尘缘》,合成诗韵一首,觉放诸古今,亦独有风韵也。乃书于纸上。毕而卧。凄然入梦。乙酉年七月初七。

V. Let’s Talk
The Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”
The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters’ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.
1. teacher at a kindergarten
2. Good Morning to All
3. Happy Birthday to You
4. Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to All
Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s Reference
The story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.
Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters’ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters’ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.

Task 1: Karaoke
Dalin: It’s Mike’s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar.
Would you like to come with us?
Laura: Karaoke bar? You have a special place just for singing? In America, bars
sometimes have a karaoke night where the customers can sing a song, but we
haven’t special karaoke bars!
Dalin: Really? In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together.
We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.
Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups? Singing is not a very in thing, so I don’t sing
very well.

Task 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?
So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn’t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp” for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray’s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.

Task 3: Thank You for the Music
I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing

Musical Memories
Tony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn’t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what’s the big deal?
Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King.
That’s the Elton John song from the movie.
Nancy: I still can’t understand why it’s so important to you.
Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really
loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!
Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of
the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that
night.
Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn’t it interesting all the memories
we connect with songs?

Task 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter Movie
Amy: I’m so excited about finally seeing this movie!
Peter: Me too. I’m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added
another book to the series?
Amy: She’s already written Book Seven? I’m still waiting for Book Five…
Peter: I know. Who isn’t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.
Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?
Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.
Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think
about it!
Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.
Task 2: A Great Actor
There was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!” he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?” “No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”

Task 3: Movie Reviews
I love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!
Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.
“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.
“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.

Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!
John: It’s my pleasure.
Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out.
How did you manage to get hold of them?
John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the
movie. So he was able to get the tickets for free.
Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I’m flattered

A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.
B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.
A: No problem.
Model 2 What did you think about the movie?
John: So… what did you think about the movie?
Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the
previous ones.
John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!
Laura: Why do you think so?
John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art
special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.
Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.

SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What did you think about The Lion King?
B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.
A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.
B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?
A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.
B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.
Model 3 The plot is first-class.
John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.
Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.
John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.
strong.
John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?
Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.
John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.
Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!
Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What do you think about the movie?
B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was so strong.

B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all.
A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.
B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!
V. Let’s Talk
Alfred Hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.
Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?” “Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.
Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a
few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.

Task 1: Only One Line
Peter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”

Task 2: An Interview with J.K. Rowling
Q: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?
A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he
was a wizard.
Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?
A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take
seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and
each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.
Q: Any clues about the next book?
A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker.
Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too
scary!
Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?
A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very
long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t WANT there to be so many
people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite
books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!

Task 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter Book
The Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.
Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!
J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry’s secret is safe with her!

Views on Movies
Interviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do
you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?
Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain
movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound
effect is much better.
Interviewer: What about you, Richard?
Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home.
Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action,
comedy, romance. What’s your personal favorite?
Robert: My favorite would be action movies.
Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.
Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties
compared with the modern blockbusters?
Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to
compare them with today’s technology, and you’ll find there isn’t anything to
compare. It’s so superior today.
Richard: I agree.

Task 2: Problem of Meeting People
Before the wedding, the groom went up the minister with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m expected to promise to ‘love, respect and obey her,’ ‘giving up all others,’ and ‘be true to her forever,’ I’d be happy if you’d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom’s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?” The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”

The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.

IV. Speaking Out
Model 1 I just broke up with Alice!
John: Hey, Se-Jin, what’s wrong with you? You look so down!
Se-Jin: Nothing.
John: I know it’s not your studies, so it must be girl trouble. You must have a broken heart.
Se-Jin: Well, you’re right. I just broke up with Alice.
John: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.
Se-Jin: Well, you never know. I want to settle down, but she wants a career while she’s
still young.
John: Well, it’s always difficult to choose between career and family.
Se-Jin: Maybe you’re right.
John: I don’t know what to say to comfort you, but try to cheer up!
Se-Jin: Yeah, but it’s hard to forget her at the moment. You know, we were together for
almost three years.
John: There’s lots more fish in the sea and you’ll find your perfect match!
Now Your Turn
A: Why do you look so upset?
B: I’m all right.
A: I know it’s not your work. So anything wrong with Susan and you?
B: Well, you’re right. I just spilt up with her.
A: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought the two of you made a good match.
B: I think I should have a career first but she wants to get married right now.
A: Well, it’s hard to make a choice between career and family.
B: Yeah, it’s hard.
A: I know it’s difficult, but try to cheer up!
B: You know, we were together for a long time. I can’t get her out of my mind.
A: Well, you’ll find a good match sooner or later.
Model 2 Leo proposed to me.
Mary: Laura! Guess what! Leo proposed to me!
Laura: Wow. That’s wonderful. Did you accept?
Mary: Not yet. I have some doubts…like the age factor. I’m really robbing the cradle here. Laura: I know he’s fur years younger than you, but he’s mature for his age.
Mary: I’m worried about the cultural differences, too.
Laura: But I can see that both of you have the same interests and personalities. That’s
even more important.
Mary: Maybe you’re right.
Now Your Turn
A: Can you believe it? Philip made a proposal to me!
B: How wonderful. Did you say yes?
A: Not yet. I’m concerned about the age gap. He’s much younger than me.
B: I know he’s a few years younger than you, but I think he is mature than mind.
A: I’m also worried about whether we can maintain a long distance relationship. You know, he lives in another city.
B: But you love each other. That’s very important.
A: Maybe you’re right.
Model 3 There’s something about him.
Jane: Laura, I know you like Charles a lot, but what do you like about him?
Laura: Well, there’s just something about him.
Jane: Really? What is this something?
Laura: Well, he’s mature, handsome, gentle, and successful. I think he’s for me.
Jane: He’s certainly mature, but don’t you think he’s a little old for you? He’s almost twice as
old as you are!
Laura: Well, age shouldn’t be something that comes in the way of a person’s marriage.
Jane: It’s true that age isn’t the most important issue, but what would your parents think?
Laura: I don’t care what other people think. I just know that I love him and he loves me. Love’s
all that matters.
Now Your Turn
A: Well, you and Chris have been together for a long time. What are his good points?
B: There’s something wonderful about him.
A: Really? What do you mean by this something?
B: Well, he’s handsome, humorous, and hard-working. I think he’s my perfect match.
A: But I think he is too old for you.
B: Well, age doesn’t matter too much for me.
A: But what would your parents and friends think?
B: I don’ worry too much about what other people think. For me, love is the most important V. Let’s Talk
Dating
Before marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together. Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together. This is known as “double dating.” Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a great deal, especially those in cities. This is “adult dating.” They ski together, dine together, either at restaurants or in each other’s homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one. Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them to arrange a “blind date”, that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.

VI. Furthering Listening and Speaking Task 1: Finding the Right Type of Girl
Keith: Hey, Peter! You’ve been in the room all night. Get out and dance with someone like
that babe over there.
Peter: No way, Keith! She’s the intellectual type. My pickup line just won’t work with her. Keith: Oh, come on, man! What kind of girl do you like?
Peter: I want a girl that gentle and mild, and that babe is not the right type.
Keith: Times are changing, and you’ll never find a woman that will shine your shoes and
fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up.
Peter: Oh really? I still prefer women that stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the kids.
Keith: Okay, then what will you do after you get home from work?
Peter: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw our the trash.
Keith: Wit, wait, wait. I can’t believe my ears. You’ll never find a wife.
