You've just heard John
Lennon singing a lullaby to his son Sean. A
lullaby is a song we sing to
help
babies to go to sleep. So he tells Sean
he looks into the future. He sees his
son setting out on life's adventure:
Out on the ocean sailing
away
And he can hardly wait
to see his son grow up, to reach eighteen when he
comes of age and
celebrates becoming an
adult. But he knows they'll both have to be
patient
Cause it'a long way
to go A
hard row to hoe
Growing up can be difficult. At times
it can, as we say, be a hard row to hoe. It's a
phrase we use to
describe any difficult
task.
But if growing up is
sometimes hard, it is also full of surprises.
Things happen when we least
expect
them:
Lire is what happens
to you
While
you're
busy
making
other
plans
I think
you'll find the stories you are going to read in
this unit show that John Lennon was right:
growing up can be quite an adventure,
full of the unexpected.
As
for John Lennon, sadly he never did live to see
his son grow up and come of age, for John
was shot dead by a madman in New York
while Sean was still only five years
old.

examination.
Less
than halfway between my house and the school,
disaster struck. My bike hit a nail and the
front tyre went flat. I pushed the bike
along the streets, looking for a repair shop.
Minutes passed but
still there was none
to be found. When I looked at my watch, I went
wild with worry: there were
only
fifteen minutes left before the examination began,
and the nearest bus stop was a long way off.
Not knowing what to do, I stood still
by the side of the road, tears welling up in my
eyes. Then a car
pulled in and I heard
a voice asking what the matter was. When he heard
my story, the driver offered
me a lift.
Thank to his kindness, I arrived just in time. And
so here I am today.

Just what are friends for?
To have fun with, of course, to share in the good
times. Yet most
people would say that a
real friend is more than just a fair weather
friend. A fair weather friend? A fair
weather friend is someone who's happy
to stay with you when things are going well but
leaves as
soon as trouble arrives,
while a good friend, a true friend, is one who'll
stand by you when you find
yourself in
difficulties. That's certainly what the American
pop singer Dionne Warwick thinks. As
she tells her friend
...
you can always count on me,
For sure, that's what friends are for,
For
good
times,
an
bad

I’ 11 be on your side

Old
Friend,
I've been meaning to
write for some time, but I've always postponed it.
You know what I'm like,

things
off

And
writing
was
never
my
strong
point.
But
looking

just
now
at
the
kids
playing

reminded
me
of
when
we
were

All
sorts
of
memories, like the time
Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we
tied Old Mr. Parker's gate,
and
when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after
school, came
flooding back. What a
great time
we spent
hanging out together. Come to think of
it, time was just about all we did have to spend
in those days.
But
time
flies.
I
began
the
letter
with
Friend
because
that's
what
we've
become
over
the
years
—
old
friends. And there aren't many of us left. Which
makes those who are all the more precious.
You
in

Your
friendship
over
the

has
meant
an
awful

me,
more
than
I
can
say
because
I'm not good at saying things like that.
Anyway,
we've
been
out

long.
So
I
thought
you'd
like
to
know
that
I
was
thinking
of
you.
We
really
must
try
to
get
together
soon.
Why
not
come
to
visit?
You
know
you're
always welcome.
Your Old

Unit 3
Part I
Pre-
reading Task
Script for the
recording:
This unit begins
with an article on science. Before you read it,
let me tell you something about its
author, Stephen Hawking.
Hawking is perhaps the most well-known
scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work
tackles the
big questions, questions
such as
How did the universe begin? Why
is the universe the way it is?
and
How
will it end?
He is now working on what is sometimes
known as the 'theory of everything.' Among other
things, this promises to explain what
caused the Big Bang that started the universe.
But it is not simply the power of
Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what
many people
find
most
striking about him
is the contrast
between the strength of his
mind and
the
weakness of his
body.
For for many years Hawking has suffered from an
illness that has left him unable to move and to
speak normally.
Born in
England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood,
and it was not until he was a student at
university that his illness started to
affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering
from a disease that
weakens
control
over
the
muscles.
The
disease
gets
worse
with
time
and
there
is
no
known
cure.
But
Hawking did not lose
heart. As he says,
my surprise, that I
was enjoying life more than before. I began to
make progress with my research, and I
got engaged to a girl called Jane
Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me
something to live
for.
Hawking
started
research
at
Cambridge
and
went
on
to
hold
the
same
post
that
another
great
scientist, Newton,
once held. Over the years his condition has
worsened, but even when he finally lost the
ability to speak, he managed to get
round the problem. He now uses a computer that
enables him to select
words which are
then turned into speech.

It
is hard to imagine how
our forefathers could do without so many
conveniences that
modern technology has
brought about. Back then only a small proportion
of the population en-
joyed some
comforts. The majority didn't even have sufficient
food, not to speak of/let alone the
privilege of being educated. However,
many people blame modern technology for the
problems it
has created. They want to
slow down the rate of progress. But no one can put
the clock back.
The best we can do is
to make informed decisions as to the direction in
which technology is to
develop.

How Science Changes Our
Lives
Science
has
certainly
changed
our
lives,
bringing
benefits
to
some
and
hardships
to
others.
Computers, for
example, have provided some with the comfort of
working from home while at the same
time throwing others out of work as
their jobs are automated. In the future changes
are likely to be even
much
greater
as
science
reaches
out
to
shape
life
itself.
New
organisms
(
有机体
)
are
already
being
engineered. New genetically modified
crops promise benefits from higher yields and less
use of harmful
chemicals.
But
once
again
we
cannot
be
sure
that
science
will
only
change
our
lives
for
the
better.
The
possibility remains that some modern
Frankenstein may carelessly or deliberately let
loose a new and

in the good sense of the public to
believe that we could prevent this from

Pre-reading Task
Script for the recording:
What you are about to hear is an
interview with Dr Lee Hertz, the director of a
scientific laboratory
in Stanford
University, California.
Interviewer:
Dr. Hertz:
Interviewer:
Dr.
Hertz:
What does the
expression the American Dream mean to you?
I guess in one way it's the dream of my
grandparents. They turned their backs
on poverty in Poland and set out with
high hopes for a new life in America.
So the American Dream means getting out
of poverty?
Then it did. However, when
they got to America, they realized that the dream
wasn't going to happen, that the
streets were not paved with gold and they had
to struggle to make a living. So the
dream became the chance for their children
to succeed.
Interviewer:
Dr. Hertz:
Through?
Through hard work
and giving their kids an education. They thought
that through
education their children
would have the choice of doing what they wanted.
That
basically life could be what you
made it.
Interviewer:
Dr.
Hertz:
Interviewer:
Dr.
Hertz:
And do you believe
that?
Well, America does give
some
people the opportunity
to be what they want to be.
Why just
some people? Isn't the American Dream an idea
everyone can believe in?
Yes, but only
because our government wants us to believe it. You
could say that
the American Dream has
been used to support the capitalist system. It
keeps
most of the population working
and spending their money.
Interviewer:
How?

Dr.
Hertz:
Well, all the time TV
shows that the dream of a good life can be reached
through
money. Advertising tells you to
buy and buy so that finally you will get there and
the dream will come true.
Interviewer:
Dr.
Hertz:
So you're saying it's
the dream that
makes the system
work? Yes, because people
become gripped by the need to move up
in the
world, they
have to
reach the top.
They are never satisfied
with what they have. The American Dream is at the
end of
the rainbow. It's not simply
about having enough money to buy the things you
need.
It's about reaching the level of
all the other people who have the money to buy
more
than you can afford. The American
Dream may be in your head, but to find it you
have to reach into your pocket.
