II. Basic Listening Practice
1. Script
M: We offer all kinds of tours and excursions. DO you have anything particular in mind?
W: Not really, we’d just like to see the local sights and have an English speaking guide. It would be good if they were someone local too. My husband is interested in the local stories and folklore.
Q: What does the woman mention as one of her preferences?
2. Script
M: Are you joining a tour group when you go to Indonesia?
W: No, I’m going to backpack my way round. I like being independent and seeing things at my own pace. Besides, there’s more chance of meeting local people that way. I’ve just got to be careful. Q: what dose the woman want?
3. Script
W: Hey, could you bring your video camera to the kids’ concert tomorrow? I’d love to capture it on film.
M: No problem. I’ll burn it to a DVD for you afterwards, then you can watch it at home.
Q: How will the woman watch the concert later in the week?
4. Script
W: I can’t find that track I really like anywhere. It’s not on CDs in any of the shops, and I really want it on a CD.
M: Well, let’s look online. Maybe we can download it, then burn it to a CD. Q: What does the man suggest doing to get the track?
5. Script
W: Here’s a riddle: You love deep-sea finishing in Florida, and you’re crazy about skiing in Canada, but you can’t afford even one vacation home. What do you do? M: I buy a share in two holiday homes, so I own a week or more at each place. Timesharing is the way many people afford seemingly expensive holidays.
Q: What advice does the man give for people unable to afford expensive holiday homes?

Task 1: I’m doing a lot of things on the computer!
Script
Barbara: Jack, you’re sitting in front of your computer again! The sea and the sand
are only steps only away. Why are you wasting these beautiful holidays? The summer will be over before you know it.
Jack: I’m not wasting the holidays as you say. The computer is a good thing. On
the Internet you can go to any part of the world; I can see everything in the world. It’s more real than reality.
Barbara: But…but you can’t spend your entire summer watching that screen. You’ll
get a big bottom.
Jack: I’m not just watching the screen. I’m doing a lot of things—I’m sending
e-mails, I’m learning things, I’m chatting in chat rooms…
Barbara: Right! But I’ll bet you’re spending most of your time playing computer
games—a time-wasting, mindless activity that I’ll turn your brain into Chinese doufoo.
Jack: No, it isn’t a single mindless pastime. It’s many activities: role-playing
games, arcade games, adventure games, strategy games…
Barbara: I understand the computer is a wonderful thing, but you have to be careful
not to get too much of a good thing. Every life needs some variety in it. It would be a lot healthier if you played a chess game outdoors, in the park.
Jack: It wouldn’t be the same. In those games in the park I can’t play against the
grandmaster of Moscow, can I? And there are creative games in the computer, where I can learn city planning and psychology.
Barbara: Well, what about me? Don’t you think I’d like a little attention?
Jack: Now, Baby, that’s no way to talk. After all this time together, you know I
love you.
Barbara: I’m not so sure any more. It’s time you made a choice. Is it going to be
more me or the computer?
Jack: Well…
1. Where does this dialog probably take place?
2. What dose the man like to do according to the dialog?

Task 2: A Magician and a Parrot
Script
A magician was working on a deluxe cruise ship in the Caribbean. The (S1) audience was different each week, so the magician did the same (S2) tricks over and over again. He felt he could cast a spell over the audience (S3) whenever he wanted to.
There was only one problem: The captain’s (S4) parrot watched every show and began to understand what the (S5) magician did in each trick. Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show.
“Look, it’s not the same (S6) hat!” “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table!” “Hey, why are all the (S7) cards the Ace of Spades?”
(S8) The magician was furious. Each time the parrot revealed one of his secrets, the audience roared with laughter. The performance he intended to be dark and mysterious turned into a comedy. He was in a rage. (S9) He dreamed of various ways he could do away with the troublesome bird. But he didn't dare to touch it. It was the captain's parrot after all. One foggy night the ship collided with an enormous iceberg and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, and the parrot was by his side. (S10) They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for several days.
After a week the parrot finally said, “Okay, I give up. But I hope you’ll tell me what trick you are going to do with the boat.”

Task3: The Modern Circus
Script
The first modern circus was staged in London in 1768 by Philip Astley, a former English cavalry officer, who performed as a trick ride. Beginning with a visit to Paris in 1772, Astley introduced the circus in cities throughout continental Europe and was responsible for establishing permanent circuses in a number of European countries as well as in England. A circus was first presented in 1793 at the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg.
By the early 19th century, several permanently-based circuses were located in larger European cities. In addition, small traveling shows moved from town to town in covered wagons in which the performers lived. The traveling shows were usually simple affairs, featuring a fiddler or two, a juggler, a ropedancer, and a few acrobats. In the early circuses such performers gave their shows in open spaces and took up a collection for pay; later, the performers used elaborate shows. In the earlier part of the 19th century a main feature of the permanent circus program was the presentation of grams that included displays of horsemanship. Throughout the 19th century the circus evolved in programming and management. Initially, trained horse and horsemanship performances dominated circuses, but ropedancing, juggling, acrobatic acts, wild-animal acts, and clowning were all introduced within the first few decades. The flying trapeze, an important part of the modern circus, was not invented until 1858, and the street parade and sideshow did not become standard circus events until later in the 19th century. Tents are believed to have come into use in the 1820s, but it is uncertain whether they appeared first in Europe or in the United States.
Nowadays, the entertainment activities offered at a circus are more elaborate, generally consisting of displays of horsemanship, exhibitions by gymnasts, aerialists, wild-animal trainer, performing animals, and comic performance by clowns.
1. What was Phillip Astley especially good at?
2. According to the passage, what was true of the early traveling shows?
3. What acts were featured in permanent circus programs in the early 19th century? 4. When were wild-animal acts introduced? 5. What is the main idea of the passage?

IV. Speaking Out
MODEL 1 Would you like to do anything?
Amy: Would you like to go to see a movie tonight, say, The Lord of the Rings? Bill: Thanks for asking, but there’s too much violence in those blockbusters. Amy: Then, let’s go roller-skating.
Bill: I don’t really like to now that I’m not so young any more. You know, my knees
ache terribly.
Amy: I’ m sorry to hear that. Hey, let’s go to see a country singer tonight? Bill: No. I’m not really in the mood.
Amy: Well, would you like to do anything? Bill: Sure, let’s stay home and watch TV.
Amy: Is there anything worth watching tonight?
Bill: Let me look at the TV Guide first. Well, Survivor’s on Channel 3 at 7:30.
Amy: If I remember correctly, there’s a documentary about animals on another
channel.
Bill: Yes, on Channel 10. Do you want to watch it? Amy: Do you mind if we watch it?
Bill: Well. I really wanted to watch the Rocket game tonight.
MODEL2 I can’t make up my mind! Script
John: Hey! Nora: Hey!
John: I see you’re reading travel brochures. Planning a holiday trip somewhere? Nora: Once the warms up. I get itchy feet. I think about going places. John: Will this be a trip abroad or some excursion close to home?
Nora: Two tours are offered in May: one to big American cities; one to Europe. John: Are these whirlwind tours that allow you a few hours in each place?
Nora: Oh, no, no, they’re both three-week three-city tours, with a week in each city. John: That’s more like it. You can look around and not feel rushed. What cities? Nora: I can’t make up my mind: London, Paris and Rome or New York, San…?

Latest Space Walk from Space Station Script
American astronaut Carl Walz and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Onufrienko took their first space walk outside of an international space station on Monday. Their mission was to move a construction crane and install a radio antenna outside the space station.
Walz, Onufrienko, and American astronaut Daniel Bursch first moved into the space station last month. This was their first attempt since then to exit the station.
As Bursch monitored from outside, Walz and Onufrienko exited the station 400 km above the Pacific Ocean. Their main task was to move a Russian-built crane from its temporary home on the U.S. side of the space station to a permanent home on the Russian side. Their plan was to use another similar Russian-built crane to help them carry out the job. The goal was for both cranes to eventually be located on the Russian side of the space station, which was launched in September.
The job was not an easy one, considering that the crane they were in charge of moving is nearly 15 meters long when fully extended and able to move more than
11
three tons of equipment when in use. The two men worked together to maneuver the two large cranes into the correct positions. The complicated job took several hours to complete, but their hard work resulted in the successful relocation of the crane to the Russian side of the space station.
The men were also given the task of installing the first of four radio antennas on the living quarters of the space station.
During the space walk, the two men complained of a continual high-pitched beeping sound that distracted them as they floated in space.
Russian engineers attempted to find the cause of the noise the men were hearing inside their spacesuits, but could not provide an immediate solution.
The three-man crew is the fourth crew to live on the space station and will remain on board there until May.
