Conversation 1 W: Hello, Mr. Williams. This is John Barrett’s cretary. I’m calling to cancel his appointment with you at 10 today as he is not feeling well. M: Thanks for calling. It’s quite all right. We’ll arrange some other time to meet. Q: What is the man going to do?
Conversation 2 M: I need to u more than just my math skills for the questions but I don’t have a calculator. Shall I go and buy one? W: Actually, I’ve got two. And I’ll let you have one for the price of a coffee. Q: What do we learn about the woman from this conversation?
Conversation 3 M: Professor Smith, I’d like to have your advice as to my career development in the future. W: It’s my pleasure. I think you are good at abstract thinking. I am sure you’ll make it if you pursue your graduate work in theoretical physics. Q: What does the woman advice the man to do?
Conversation 4 W: I can’t believe Ken misd such an important lectur e even though I reminded him the day before yesterday. M: You should know him better by now. He’s known for taking everything in one ear and straight out the other. Q: What does the man imply?
Conversation 5 W: I hear you’re working as a market surveyor this summer. It’s got to be awfully difficult going to so many places in such hot summer days. M: Well, it is challenging, but I get to meet lots of new people and the pay is decent enough. Q: What does the man think of his job?
Long conversation Scripts W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your class, Literature and Writing. M: It’s only the cond week of class, Stacey. Why are you giving up so quickly? We’ve only written one essay so far, and you won’t get your grade back u ntil next Wednesday! W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don’t want to risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class! M: OK … What’s worrying you? W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10 hours to write the
three-page essay. Well, engineering cours are easy but important, as we know. But a writing cour … I don’t know. I’ll just take a film class next mester, not hard at all – a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements. M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I
was the opposite. Math was hard; literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me! W: Wait! You own The Fo und Librarian? That’s our favorite coffee place. We get coffee and screenplay at more than 30 different production desrt there every week –and work on math homework. M: Yeah, that’s my shop. Stacey, let’s reconsider. Success in life needs a variety of s kills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class will
rve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at and I’ll work with you. Tog ether you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal? W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl! Passage 1 Scripts In 1978, as I applied to study film at the University of Illinois, my father objected and quoted me a statistic, “Every year, 50,000 performers compete for 200 available roles on Broadway.” Against his advice, I boarded a flight to the US. Some years later, when I graduated from the film school, I came to understand my father’s concern. It was nearly unheard of for a Chine newcomer to make it in the American film industry. Beginning in 1983, I struggled through six years of annoying, hopeless uncertainty. Much of the time, I was helping film crews with their equipment or working as editor’s assistant. My most painful experience involved shopping a screenplay at more than 30 different production companies, and bei

ng met with harsh rejection each time. That year, I turned 30. Yet, I couldn’t even support mylf. What could I do? Keep waiting, or give up my moviemaking dream? My wife gave me strong support. Her income was terribly modest. To relieve me from feeling guilty, I took on all houwork – cooking, cleaning, taking care of our son – in addition to reading, reviewing films and writing scripts. It was rather shameful for a man to live this kind of life. Afterward, I enrolled in a computer cour at a community college.
At that time, it emed that only the knowledge of computer could quickly make me employable. One morning, right before she got in her car to head off to work, my wife turned back and – standing there on our front steps –said, “Ang Lee, don’t forget your dream.” Sometime after, I obtained funding for my screenplay, and began to shoot my own films. After that, a few of my films started to win international awards. Recalling earlier times, my wife confesd, “I’ve always believed that you only need one gift. Your gift is making films.” And today, I’ve finally won that golden statue. I think my own perverance and my wife’s immeasurable sacrifice have finally met their reward. Q1: Wh en did Ang Lee come to understand his father’s concern about studying film? Q2: What was Ang Lee’s most painful experience according to the passage? Q3: Why did Ang Lee enroll in a computer cour at a community college? Q4: What did Ang Lee’s wife think o f him according to the passage?
Passage 2 Scripts and answers Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It’s so important to 1) believe in yourlf. Believe that you can do anything under any 2) circumstances, becau if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you 3) arching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong n of purpo. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let life happen. One way to develop lf-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal
lf-importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) incurity, while confidence comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8) accomplishing anything you want. Anything can be achieved through focud,

determined effort, commitment and lfconfidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then y

I’m so sorry. Today mus t be especially difficult. M: I woke up this morning, looked out at Mount Rainier for 45 minutes thinking about him. It was his favorite mountain, and from the time when I was ven years old until he died last year, every year, every year we would go hiking and camping together up that mountain at least three or four times. W: Wow. That’s my favorite place, too. I love all the blue and yellow flowers that cover the slopes in early summer. M: He loved tho flowers, too, and we had baskets and bunches of them at the funeral. W: That sounds really special. Tho little d
etails can be such a comfort. M: Yes, it was a reminder of our happiest memories together. Honestly, I hope to die as peacefully as he did. We had just come home from a five-day hiking and camping trip in June. We had caught six fish for dinner and mom was preparing them in the kitchen. Dad sat down in his favorite green chair and had a heart attack and died quickly and peacefully. W: It’s tough to
lo someone you love, but it sounds like he had a great life. M: He certainly did. He was 78 when he died. A good life, though, a very good life. W: Chris, take the day off. Maybe go hiking on Mount Rainier. It’s beautiful weather. It might make you feel better to hike up the mountain. M: Sally, you’re a good boss and a good friend. Thanks. Passage 1 Scripts With the fierce competition at work or in school, you are often stresd out and easily offended. How can you relieve such stress? Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid MUST think. You have to move away from the notion that you must do something in a certain way. For example, “I must get a great score on a test.” This thought pattern only adds to the stress you’ll feel. Evaluate your situation rationally and analytically, and not as a “life or death” situation. Clean up the mess. Don’t study in a messy or crowded area. Clear yourlf a nice, open space that’s free from distractions. Set manageable goals. Break large projects into smaller parts and you’ll feel a positive n of accompl
ishment as you finish each part. Imagine dumping your worries. Imagine yourlf walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand bucket. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the bucket. Drop the bucket and watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think good thoughts. Create a t of positive but brief assumptions and mentally repeat them to yourlf just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning. Imagine yourlf succeeding. Clo your eyes and remember a real-life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feeling of confidence. U your bed for sleeping, not studying. Your mind may start
to associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep. Listen to relaxing music. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially can aid the learning process. Apply the tips to your own life, soon you’ll find fewer and fewer situations to fee l stressful about. Q1: What will happen if you always think that you must do something in a certain way? Q2: How can you make large projects workable according to the passage? Q3: What is the benefit of classical music mentioned in the passage? Q4: What is the best title for the passage?
Passage 2 Scripts and answers Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, 1) exerting an influence on one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s 2) fabulous if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or lonely. Perhaps one
