Here

words while listening.
Tapescript:
Having been married for more than 40
years, I can attest to the truth of the following
statement: To excel in the art of
domestic argument, one must master the art of
losing.
Modern
psychologists
are taken with
the

solutions.
Out
of
these,
both
parties
can
win.
For
in
the
love
configuration, losing gives a gift that
always returns.
The issues that people argue over most
in marriage, such as how to spend money, often
aren't the real ones. The key issue is:
Who is going to be in control? When I was younger,
my
need to control arose out of fear, a
lack of trust, insecurity. The day I finally
realized I didn't
need to control my
wife
梩
hat, indeed, I ought
not to control her, that I couldn't control her,
and that if I tried to, I would destroy
our marriage ?was the day our marriage
began.
What is
it we want most from a marriage? To love and be
loved. To be happy and secure.
To
grow
to
discover.
A
love
relationship
is
the
gar
-
den
in
which
we
plant,
cultivate
and
harvest the most
precious of crops, our own self, and in which our
spouse is provided the
same rich soil
in which to bloom.
Part
JJ
We cannot
obtain what we want unless our partner also gets
what he or she wants. So
remember; if
you want to feel loved and respected, give up
control.
All you need is
love?

industrial /
propose / criterion
You are
going to hear a report on how people in different
parts of the world choose their
mates.
A1 Before listening, think about some
of the qualities you would look for in a
mate.
A2 As you listen, try
to write down the three main criteria people
usually
maintain
for choosing a mate. 1: Having similar social
backgrounds. 2: Having the same
race or
same ethnic background. 3: Having the same
religion.
A3 Listen again.
Answer the questions.
Why does the speaker say that some of
the past practices related to marriage customs
are weakening?
Japan / 9. 2% / arranged
marriages
Why
does the speaker say that the races are still
largely separate in marriage in the U.
S. ?
3% / between blacks and
whites
Tapescript;
Many people in Western cultures choose
their own wives and
hus
-
bands. In many other
cultures, spouses are often chosen by
the parents. In China and Japan before this
century (20
th century) ,
upper
-
class
mar
-
riages were arranged by
the older males. In many cultures in
the Middle East, Asia, and
pre
-
industrial Europe, the
man's family negotiated a
with the
woman's family; the man's family was expected to
pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's
family
paid
a
groom's
price
the
family
of
the
man. These
customs
are
weakening;
for
instance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese
marriages are now arranged.
What
are
the
criteria
for
choosing
mates?
Most
marriages
梬
hether
arranged
by
families
or
occurring
from
personal
attraction
or
love
梐
re
based
on
similar
social
backgrounds. In other
words, the man and the woman come from the same
social class (or
else a class that is
only slightly higher or slightly lower). Among
many people in Egypt, key
members of
the man's family must go to the family of the
woman and propose mar
-
riage.
These family members must be able to
show that the man's family is at least of the same
social class as the woman and that a
certain amount of money exists to allow the
marriage to
go forward.
Having the same race or the
same ethnic background is the second main
criterion for
marriage throughout the
world. In the U. S. , where there are many
different races, only 3
percent
of
all
marriages
are
between
blacks
and
whites,
meaning
that
the
races
are
still
largely
separate in marriage.
In
many
countries,
marriage
is
also
based
on
the
woman
and
man
having
the
same
religion; this is a third common
criterion for choosing a mate. In cultures in
which religion is a
very strong value,
marriages would often not take place if there were
religious differences.
Key words:

Unfortunately, perhaps in
the initial stages it's the physical appearance
that attracts.
In fact it shouldn't be what somebody
looks like that is important. You should be able
to
look beyond the physical appearance
and see what sort of a person he or she
is.
In
pop
songs
and
magazines
and
newspapers
and
so
on,
the
idea
of
falling
in
love
is
always
emphasized.
?In
fact
I
think
we
can
proba
-
bly
lay
there
the
blame
for
the
high
percentage of
divorces.
I
think you have to differentiate between falling in
love with somebody, which I see as
more
superficial,
and
loving
somebody,
which
I
see
as
a
deeper
emotion
and
one
that
perhaps
lasts.
Tapescript;
A: What do you think it is that
attracts people to each other, that makes people
want to
be together?
B:
I
think
that
perhaps
unfortunately
in
the
initial
stages
it's
the
physical
appearance
that
attracts.
I
think
unless
you
find
somebody
attractive,
unless
there's
something
about
them
梚
t could only
perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a
twinkle in their eye, or
the way a curl
falls over their forehead. But something like that
has to make you interested
enough to
find out more about that person, unless that's
there I think you just don't bother.
So
initially physical attraction 1 think is
all
-
important.
A: Why do you
say
B:
Because
in
fact
it
shouldn't
be
what
somebody
looks
like
that
is
im
-
portant.
You
should be able to look
beyond the physical appearance and see what sort
of a person he or
she
is,
whether they're
selfish
or
selfless, whether
they're
kind,
caring. But
I think
initially
you're not bothered with that. That
comes perhaps later.
A: In pop songs and magazines and
newspapers and so on, the idea of falling in love
is
always emphasized, so people have
this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you
think this is
misleading for people? Do
you think people expect something that in fact
doesn't exist?
B:
Yes
I
do,
in
fact
I
think
we
can
probably
lay
the
blame
for
the
high
percentage
of
divorces
梚
t's a
third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three
people get divorced. Probably
as far as
I can see it, the reason is that they go into
marriage or into a relationship with a very
romantic view of love which I think has
been created by the pop songs, by all the love
stories,
by the Barbara Cartland
novels, etc. , that young
peo
-
ple read. Really, you
meet someone,
you fall in love, and
that's it, it's the beginning, they live happily
ever after. And I think that's
the
problem, because people just expect that, and it's
not like that. A: So what is it, do you
think, that really sustains a
relationship, that
keeps a
relationship going? B: Well, 1 think you have to
differentiate between falling in love
with
somebody,
which
I
see
as
more
superficial,
and
loving
somebody,
which
1
see
as
a
deeper
emotion
and
one
that
perhaps
lasts.
Falling
in
love
is
superficial
attraction,
being
attracted to somebody
physically, having fun together, whereas loving
somebody I think is an
emotion
that
grows,
it
comes
with
shared
experiences,
perhaps
enjoying
doing
the
same
things
together, shared hobbies, shared interests,
suffering together as well, going through
the bad times, helping each other,
supporting each other. I think all that needs time
to grow,
and I'd call that love, and I
think that's what makes a relationship
last.

Summary
For years men and women
have been getting married. When a man and a woman
get
married, it is one of the biggest
decisions they will make in life. A man may select
a woman
because he, in his own eyes,
sees her

Every
man
has
his
own
definition
of
what
the
< br>-
right
wife
is.
For
instance,
the
millionaire man and the poor man both
may define their
-
right
physical
qualities but use different words. Although some
men define the
-
right
her
physical
qualities,
other
men
describe
their
p>
-
right
wife
by
her
athletic
quali
-
ties.
Both the outdoors man and the inside
sportsman may define their
-
right
sports
qualities but in two different atmospheres. Men
from all nationalities also have their
definitions
of
the
-
r
ight
wife.
But
the
Italian
man's
definition
is
different
from
the
French
man's.
And
similarly,
the
German
man's
definition
is
different
from
the
Spanish
man's.
Tapescript;
For
years
men
and
women
have
been
getting
married.
They
say
their
wedding
vows
which bring them
together as one. They promise to love and cherish
each other until death
do them
part.
When a man
and a woman get married, it is one of the biggest
deci
-
sions they will make
in life. A man may select a woman
because he, in his own eyes, sees her as the
-
right
wife for
him. Every man has his own definition of what the
-
right
the
million
-
aire man and the
poor man both may define their
-
right
-
ing to
her physical qualities.
A millionaire may describe
his
-
right
-
ful, sexy, intelligent,
and
well
developed.
On
the
other
hand,
a
poor
man
may
define
his
-
r
ight
wife
as
pleasing,
attractive,
desirable,
knowl
-
edgeable,
and
shapely.

men

whereas
the
inside
sportsman
may
define
his

right
wife
as
a
woman
who
enjoys
watching
football,
basketball,
baseball,
and
wrestling.
Both
of
these
men
define
their

mospheres.
Men from all nationalities
also have their definition of the

the
Italian
man
describes
his
woman
as
a
woman
who
stands
six
feet
one
inch
tall
with
blonde hair and blue eyes, and who is
well developed in the upper portion of her body.
On
the other hand, the French man may
describe his ideal woman as a woman who stands
only
five feet three inches with brown
hair and green eyes, and who is

Other

as

Ka: I was on my way home
from junior high and in order to get to my house
you have to
walk by this baseball
diamond. And there was a game of baseball going on
and it looked kind
of interesting, so I
stopped. There weren't very many people watching.
And there was this
guy and he wasn't
really very good

looking,
but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was
really funny. He did this kind of

great. And I went home and I

him for half an hour. And when I got
to
high school, he was president of the student body
and he asked me out and. . . we've got
our picture in the yearbook together
holding hands, and it's really nice.

Mr Blanchard tell you what happened.
A young woman was coming
toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde
hair lay
back in curls from her
delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her
lips and chin had a
gentle firmness,
and in her pale green suit she was like spring
time coming alive. I started
toward
her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was
not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small,
provocative
smile

her
lips.

The

I
felt as though I was split into two, so keen was
my desire to follow her, and yet so deep
was my longing for the woman whose
spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.
And there she stood. Her pale plump
face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a
warm
and kindly twinkle. I did not
hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue
leather copy of
the book that was to
identify me to her. This would not be love, but it
would be something
precious, something
perhaps even better than love.
I squared my shoulders and
saluted and held out the book to the woman, even
though
while

I

Tapescript;
Scientists have learned a great deal
about the parts of brain and their functions. They
have also studied the development of
the personality, for
example, how a baby learns to love. In
recent studies at two universities in the United
States,
scientists have investigated
the development of self

value of what he does. The
scientists studied self
-
es
p>
-
teem in young boys. They
gave them
many tests. These tests
measured the boys' abilities and also how they
felt about their own
abilities.
After
the
tests,
the
boys
were
divided
into
three
groups
?those
with
high
self
-
esteem,
those
with
middle
self
-
esteem
and
those
with
low
self
-
esteem.
The
scientists
continued to study the boys in all
situations. They studied them at home, at work, in
school,
and with their
friends.
From
their studies, the scientists made some
observations. Boys with high
self
-
esteem
were
active.
They
were
able
to
express
their
ideas.
They
were
successful
in
school
and
in
their relations with
other people. In discussions, they led. They
didn't just listen. They were
interested
in
world
problems.
They
were
creative
and
believed
that
they
could
finish
whatever
they
started.
They
seldom
became
tired
or
sick.
In
many
ways,
the
boys
with
middle
self
-
esteem were like the
boys with high self
-
es
-
teem. They too expressed their
ideas
freely and saw the world as a
good and happy place. However, they were not sure
of their
own value as
peo
-
ple. They did their best
work when they were sure that other people liked
them. The boys with low
self
-
esteem were different
from the other two groups. They were
sad most of the time. They were afraid
to start activi
-
ties. They
felt that no one loved them.
They could
not express their ide
-
as.
They were afraid of anger. In a discussion, they
listened,
but they didn't
talk.
The
scientists asked,
-
es
-
teem?
in their
lives?
-
prising. High
self
-
esteem did not depend
upon
physical
appearance,
or
money,
or
size
of
family.
It
did
not
depend
upon
how
much
the
mother
was at home. The scientists found that there was a
closeness between the boys with
high
self
-
esteem and
their
parents.
Their parents
showed
real interest
in
them,
and
spent
time with them. They listened to their
sons and gave them help when the boys asked for
it.
They knew their sons'
friends. The sons knew that they were
important to their parents. These parents demanded
good
behavior.
They
made
definite
rules.
They
were
strict,
but
not
harsh.
They
corrected
their sons' behavior by rewards, not by
punishment. They never took away their love. On
the
other hand, the parents of boys
with low self
-
esteem let
their sons do almost anything. If a
boy
made a mistake, the parents punished him harshly.
The boys be
-
lieved that
their parents
didn't
love
them.
There
were
no
definite
rules.
The
family
life
of
the
boys
with
high
self
-
esteem was
democratic. The parents made rules, but they led
in a kind and thoughtful
way. They
showed respect for their children's ideas, even
when they did not agree with them.
They
let
the
boys
give
their
opinions
in
discussions
of
family
plans.
These
boys
were
productive citizens. Now these
scientists are studying other groups of children.
They want to
learn how to help
chil
-
dren with low
self
-
esteem feel better
about themselves. In this way,
these
children can become productive citizens
too.

When most people are sad, they know the
feeling is only temporary. But there are large
numbers
of
people
who
stay
sad
for
a
long
time.
These
people
suffer
from
the
common
mental sickness known as
depression.
Depression can affect anyone.
Researchers say one out of ten persons
in the world has the chance of
developing a major depression at some
time.
About
80
percent
of
the
depressed
patients
can
be
helped
with
one
of
several
drugs
that
have
all
been
found
effective
in
treating
depression.
Doctors
say,
however,
the
drugs
must be used very
carefully.
Depression also can be treated without
drugs. Some doctors say that moderate activity
four or five times a week can help
treat minor depres
-
sion. For
example, running or walking
rapidly for
30 minutes four times a week can improve mental as
well as physical health. The
traditional
treat
-
ment for depression
known as psycho
-
therapy
calls for depressed people to
spend an
hour or more each week talking about their
condition with doc
-
tors
trained to treat
mental problems.
Discussion
is supposed to
help
de
-

people
discover new ways of
thinking and dealing with
problems.
Public

all, er, but, it manifests itself in a very
sarcastic way with
me. Like if for
example, I'm, I'm, if I'm buying a . . . railway
ticket or something and the, ... the
guy behind the counter is very surly
and er, you know refuses to treat me, er like a

being, I won't be, get angry with
him but I'll get very sarcastic with him and try
to make very

me serves its
purpose. I do feel er very ... I feel very
cleansed after a situation like that. Oh, I,
of course I do sometimes, if it's
absolutely necessary I do get very angry, if I'm
taken that far.
But I certainly don't
suppress any anger.
Speaker 2
Well, my anger is tied up with my
sleepless nights. (Laughter) I mean, if I do not
sleep
well, I wake up in the morning, I
am angry. I use any excuse to vent my anger on
anybody. If I
sleep well, then
everything's fine. I'm a joyous, warm, loving
person. Sleepless nights, I'm full
of
anger and my anger does not ebb away unless I use
a thing or somebody to vent it upon.
As
weak as that may sound, that's how I work. (mm)
And it's terrible sort of admission to

Short talks on listening

Represent the Ideas Clear and Clean
?Outlining
Outlining
is
a
method
of
classifying
and
organizing
ideas.
It
is
a
skill
very
useful
to
language learners when
they are taking lecture notes, reading, or writing
a paper.
In
listening,
the
skill
of
outlining
reflects,
to
a
certain
extent,
the
listener's
ability
in
understanding how the
facts or ideas, or the scattered pieces of
information are related to
one
another.
People
generally use a system of Roman numerals, Arabic
num
-
bers, and letters to
show
relationships. There is a kind of
standard form for using these symbols to show
which ideas
are most
impor
-
tant. The symbols
used, in order of decreasing importance,
are
Part IV
Short talks on listening

Roman numerals (I. H.
EL ... ), capital letters ( A. B. C. .. . ) ,
Arabic numbers (1. 2. 3. ... ), small
letters (a. b. c. .. . ), and numbers
in parentheses [(1)(2)(3). .. ].
The placement of the topics
on paper is also important. The most important
items are
entered
farther
to
the

Lesser

are

and

the

Headings
of

importance
are
indented
the

distance
from

margin.
The
purpose of this indentation is to make
each idea easy to see and also to show just how it
is
related to the ideas before and
after it.

to this very complex
issue.
The
future is in your imagination
Humans are blessed with the
ability to think into the future. We can use our
imagination
to see possibilities. Use
this unique gift in a positive way. Build a vision
of what you want to
be, have or do. It
is the starting point of all successful
activities.
To
win, you must expect to win
Once
we
imagine
our
future,
we
must
wrap
that
vision
with
a
belief
system
that
encourages us to
fulfill the vision.
We are surrounded by
opportunity
As
we
move
through
time,
opportunities
are
abound.
All
we
have
to
do
is
recognize
them and reach out to grab them.
Capturing opportunity demands risk. Are you a risk
taker?
Like what
you do or do something else
Low
achievers
usually
don't
like
to
work
or
don't
like
the
work
they
are
doing. Those
who don't want to work will never
prosper. For those who work, it is critically
important that
their work be a joyful
experience. Match your skills to your job
requirements. The closer the
match, the
more enjoyable the experience.
Your success depends on
other people

A
young
man
who
escaped
poverty
in
Kenya
is
receiving
a
master's
degree
from
Manchester University
late today. Sammy Gitau comes from one of the
worst slums in the

Nairobi and had to overcome overwhelming odds to
gain a place and then a
degree at the

discarded
in

set
his heart
on
going
there. He
lives
in Masari, a stinking,

crime

ridden slum
in the cen

ter of the Kenyan
capital. From the age of 1J5 when his father
was murdered, he struggled as the
principal breadwinner for his family. He sold
drugs, was
beaten
and
attacked
and
once
came
close
to
death
after
a
drug's
overdose.
But
he
succeeded
in gaining a place at Manchester University
despite being refused a visa initially
after British
immigra

tion services had
doubts about his claim to be a genuine student.
His
tenacity and resourcefulness will
be rewarded when he receives his master's
degree.

Speaker 1
I think my mum's very successful
because she's managed to bring up three children

day. She's taught us to
be kind and
loving, she taught us to
share, she taught us to love our
family

e very family

orientated

nd
I think that's really important.
Speaker 2
The person that I can think of within
my life, well, I probably can think of several but
the
one that instantly came to mind
when you popped this question to me was somebody
who
lives in Harpenden and who has
overcome physical difficulty of arthritis
remarkably well, and
not allowed it to
hold her back any more than is obviously necessary
because of her physical
disabilities.
So I think she's made a very
good
梐
great
success of overcoming a difficulty.
Speaker 3
I think, um, Mable Davies, here who's
very successful. She's a deaf lady who's now the
headmistress and I think that must have
been hard, so
Part
II
The road to
success
I've got a lot of
respect for her, because my parents are also deaf
so I know how difficult it is
to work
your way up having a handicap, so I've got quite a
lot of admiration for her.
Speaker 4
Well, I think in professional terms
Kenneth Branagh, the actor, has been very
successful
and I think the reason for
this more than anything else is that he's a very
good self
-
publicist.
He is undoubtedly a very good
ac
-
tor. Er, I've not seen
him on stage, I've seen him on film
and
he's got an enormous amount of energy and as I
say, he's a very good
self
-
publicist.
Statements:
According to the first speaker, the
most important thing that mum taught her children
is
to love the family.
When
the
second
speaker
was
interviewed,
the
successful
person
that
immediately
came to her mind
was the one with arthritis.
The third speaker has a lot of respect
for Mable Davies because she herself is
deaf.
The fourth
speaker thinks that the actor has got an enormous
amount of energy as he
saw him on stage
and on film.

Write no more than three words in each
blank.
Tapescript;
It
is
well
that
young

should
begin
at
the
beginning
and
occupy
the
most
subordinate
positions.
Many
of
the
leading

had
a
serious
responsibility thrust upon them at the

hours
of

notice
we
have
jan
-
itors
and
janitresses
now
in
offices,
and
our
young
men
unfortunately
miss that salutary branch of a business
education. But if by chance the
profes
-
sional sweeper
is absent in the morning, the boy who
has the genius of the future partner in him will
not
hesitate to try his hand at the
broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep
out the
office if necessary. I was one
of those sweepers myself.
Assuming that you have all obtained
employment and are fairly
star
-
ted , my advice to
you
is:
Aim
high.
Do
not
rest
content
for
a
moment
in
your
thoughts
as
head
clerk,
or
foreman, or general manager in any
con
-
cerns no matter how
extensive. Say to yourself,
place is at
the top.
And
here is the prime condition of success, the great
secret: concen
-
trate your
energy,
thought, and capital
exclusively upon the business in which you are
engaged. Having begun
in one line,
resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in
it, adopt every improvement, have
the
best ma
-
chinery, and know
the most about it.
The concerns which fail are those which
have scattered their capital, which means that
they have scattered their brains also.
They have invest
-
ments in
this, or that, or the other,
here,
there, and everywhere. Don't put all your eggs in
one basket is all wrong. I tell you to
put all your eggs in one basket, and
then watch that basket. Look round you and take
no
-
tice.
Men who
do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and
carry the one basket. It is trying to
carry too many baskets that breaks most
eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets
must put one on his head, which is apt
to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the
American
businessman is lack of
concentration.
B2 Now listen
to the conclusion of the above speech. Pay
attention to the do's and don 'ts
the
speaker summarizes. List them in the
follow
-
ing chart.
Part II
The road
to success
Tapescript;
To
summarize
what
I
have
said:
Aim
for
the
highest;
never
enter
a
bar
room;
do
not
touch liquor, or if at all, only at
meals; never specu
-
late;
never indorse beyond your surplus
cash
fund; make the firm's
inter
-
est yours; break
orders always to save owners; concentrate;
put all your eggs in one basket, and
watch that basket; expenditure always within
rev
-
enue;
lastly,
be not impatient, for, as Emerson says, no one can
cheat you out of ultimate success
but
yourselves.

Tapescript;
Adrienne, The United States
What are my best qualities? This is a
difficult question for someone to
an

swer I think, but I'll
give
it
a
shot.
I
think
my best
qualities

that

a

of
humor.
I
genuinely like people and I like

ing to people and I
like to be entertaining if I can possibly
be. Conrad, The United

What is my best
quality? I'd say my best quality is my
friendliness. I al

ways try
to be positive
and polite and friendly
to people who I meet,
espe
-
cially the first time
and I try to continue
that . . . but
regardless of who they are, I try to give them,
you know, treat them friendly. I
enjoy
being friendly, so it's not really work to me.
It's just part of my personality. Lisa,
Canada
What
are
my
best
qualities?
My
best
qualities
are
the
fact
that
I
am
a
good
friend.
I'm
considerate
and
caring.
I'm
a
good
listener.
I
can
always ...
I'm
always
there
to
hear
if
my
friends (are) having a
bad day or just really need to talk, and I think
I'm just really nice, even
though I'm
not always nice to everyone. To the people I
really care and love, I will always put
them into an important ... I will
always make them very important in my life. Phil,
England
So what's my best
quality? I think my best quality has to be the
ability to laugh at myself.
English
humor is very much based around laughing at
yourself and also laughing with others
at themselves so my best quality

of new things, and nothing shocks me,
so I learn new things a lot that most people
don't,
because they are too narrow
minded, I think. Chip, The United
States
OK, what are my best
qualities? I guess the one that I think is the
most important for me is to
be curious.
I want to find out new things, I want to go
places. I want to have new experiences.
I don't like to just sit around where I
know everything because it stops being interesting
and
inspiring after a while. I like to
have new things happen to me and meet new people
and that
is what keeps me creative and
I have fresh ideas that way.

Tapescript;
Todd: So, Matt, we're talking about
adjectives this week and, or qualities about
people,
so let's talk about what makes
people good at what they do. First of all, what do
you think
makes a good student? We're
both teachers, so in your mind what's a good
student?
Matt: I
think somebody who is motivated,
self
-
motivated and somebody
who takes an
interest
in
what
they
are
doing
and
works
at
it,
and
I
mean,
as
a
teacher
I
always
enjoy
people who are outgoing and have a
personality, but I know reality is that not every
student
can be like that so you just
try to ... as a student I think that the most
important thing is to
show interest and
participate and work outside of class.
Todd; Right, I totally
agree. OK, so now how about work? What makes a
good boss?
Matt:
I've had so many different jobs and so many
different bosses. I think a good boss
is somebody who knows his ... the
people that work for him, and he knows the
strengths and
he
can
communicate
or
she
can
communicate
what
they
really
want
for
each
worker
and
some
-
body who can
delegate to responsibility, but that shows that
they know and that they
care about what
their minions are doing for them.
Todd: Right. OK, now moving
on, how about what makes a good friend?
Matt;
A
good
friend?
I
think
somebody
who
just
can
listen
and
kind
of
unconditional
love almost or
like anything that you do, anything that you do
can't tarnish the relationship
and
somebody who is loyal and who is honest
basically.
Todd;
OK, and this is the last one. What makes a good
parent?
Matt; A
good parent! Not that I would know from firsthand
experience, but I think, you
know, just
somebody who is there always and who

Listen to the
following statements you have learned in the
previous and present units. Pay
special
attention to the parts in bold type. Learn to
appreciate and use the language.

largely separate
In the U. S. , where there are many
different races, only 3 percent of all marriages
are
between blacks and whites,
mean

ing that the races are
still largely separate in marriage.
to look beyond the physical

You
should
be
able
to
look
beyond
the
physical
appearance
and
see
what
sort
of
a
person he or
she is, whether they 're selfish or selfless,
whether they 're kind, caring.

to bring

They say
their wedding vows which bring them together as
one. They promise to love
and cherish
each other until death do them part.
to end up
And . .. anyway we ended up
living together and still are.
And it just seemed so
amazing that, you know, we were both from the same

we started chatting and ended

I squared my shoulders and saluted and
held out the book to the woman, even though while

to make (definite /

These

not harsh.
to correct one's
behavior by rewards / punishment
They corrected their son's behavior by
rewards, not by

to vent one's anger on /

I use any excuse to

Sleepless nights, I'm full of anger and
my anger does not ebb away unless I use a thing or
somebody to vent it upon.

No one sets out in life to

The Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy / in 1687 Tapescript:
Today we tell about the
discoveries of ten important scientists of the
past 1,000 years.
The earliest of these important
scientists was Johannes Gutenberg. He lived in
Germany
from about 1395 until about
1468. Johannes Guten
-
berg
invented the type mould and the
first
successful system of movable type used in Europe.
This made printing books faster and
easier. Johan
-
nes
Gutenberg and others used his invention to produce
books in the City of
Mainz during the
1400s. The system he invented remained unchanged
for 350 years.
Nicolaus Copernicus was another
important scientist. He is
consid
-
ered the founder of
the modern science of astronomy, the
study of the planets and stars in the universe.
Nicolaus
Copernicus was born in Poland
in 1473. At that time, most scientists accepted
the idea that
the
earth
was
at
the
center
of
the
universe
and
did
not
move.
The
Greek
astronomer
Ptolemy had developed this idea more
than 1 ,000 years earlier. Ptolemy also said that

Co

believed
that
every
planet,
including
the
earth,
moved
around
the
sun.
He
also
believed
the
earth
moved
around
its
center
once
every
day.
He
described
these
theories
in
1543.
These
theories
were

in
his
lifetime.
But
by
the
early
1600s,
other
scientists
began
to
deve
-
lop
the
method that would prove
Copernicus correct.
Part
II
Scientists of the
millennium f I)
One of these scientists was Galileo
Galilei. He was born in Italy in 1564. Galileo was
the
first
to
use
the
telescope
to
discover
new
informa
-
tion
about
the
planets
and
stars.
He
decided
that
the
theory
that
all
planets
circled
the
sun
was
correct.
The
Roman
Catholic
Church condemned
Gal
-
ileo for saying
Copernicus was right. For centuries, the Church
had
taught that the sun, the planets
and the stars moved around the earth. Three
hundred and
fifty
years
passed
before
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
admitted
officially
that
it
was
wrong
and withdrew its condemnation of
Galileo.
Our
fourth scientist of the millennium is William
Harvey. He was born in England in 1578.
He discovered how blood moves in
animals and people. Dr Harvey described this in
1628 in
the book An Anatomical Study of
the Motion of the Heart and of the Blood in
Animals. This
work was the start of all
modem research on the heart and blood vessels. Dr
Harvey based
his discoveries on
observations and by cutting open dead animals and
humans. Dr Harvey's
experiments
showed
that
the
heart
forces
blood
through
the
arteries
to
the
body.
He
showed
that the blood returns to the heart through the
veins. His idea conflicted with the
widely
accepted
ideas
of
the
time.
It
has
been
called
one
of
the
most
important
medical
discoveries of the
millennium.
Isaac
Newton was another
influential scientist of
the
past 1
,000 years. Many
experts
say he was the most important
scientist of them all. He was born in England in
1642. Isaac
Newton
invented
a new
kind
of
mathematics
called calculus.
He
discovered the
secrets of
light and color and his theory of
gravitation showed how the universe is held
together. Isaac
Newton
published
his
discoveries
on
the
laws
of
motion
and
the
theory
of
gravitation
in
1687 in his book The
Mathe
-
matical Principles of
Natural Philosophy. It was the first book to
de
-
scribe
a
unified
system
of
scientific
rules
explaining
what
happens
on
earth
and
in
the
universe. It is
considered one of the greatest works in the
history of science.

Charles Darwin thought that
all living things developed from simple
organisms.
Darwin's
ideas
were
strongly
opposed
by
many
religious
people
in
the
past.
But
now
people
are all in favor of them.
Louis Pasteur believed that it is tiny
organisms that spread most diseases.
Thomas Edison considered
the motion picture his most important
invention.
Albert Einstein's most famous theory is
about time, space, mass, movement and
gravity.
Albert
Einstein's most famous theory led to the discovery
of atomic energy.
Tapescript;
Charles Darwin was another important
scientist of the past 1 ,000 years. He was born in
England in 1809. In 1859, he published
a book called On the Origin of Species by Means of
Natural
Selection.
He
ex
-
plained
his
ideas
that
all
living
things
developed
from
simple
organisms. He said
these organisms changed during millions of years
to produce dif
-
ferent
kinds
of
plants
and
animals,
including
humans.
This
is
known
as
the
theory
of
evolution.
Charles
Darwin's
studies
showed that
some
ani
-
mals
and
plants
have
natural abilities
that
help
them
survive.
They
pass
these
abilities
to
their
young
when
they
reproduce.
Other
plants
and
ani
-
mals
that
are
less
able
to
survive
and
reproduce
may
disappear.
Charles
Darwin's
theories
provided
new
ideas
about
the
developments
of
living
things.
However,
they shocked many
religious people. Many people
to
-
day still strongly oppose
the theory of
evolution because it
conflicts with their religious beliefs.

Our
next
important
scientist
of
the
past
1,000
years
is
Louis
Pasteur.
His
discoveries
saved
many
lives.
Louis
Pasteur
was
born
in
1822
in
France.
He
became
a
professor
of
chemistry.
He
discovered
that
heat
could
kill
harmful
microorganisms.
Soon
this
Pasteurization
method
was
used
to
keep
many
foods
and
drinks
safe.
He
also
helped
us
establish
thegerm
theory
when
he
recognized
that
most
diseases
are
spread
by
tiny
or
-
ganisms
that
reproduce
in
the
body.
Louis
Pasteur
also
proved
that
an
an
-
imal
can
develop a resistance to
a harmful organism if the organism is weakened in
a laboratory and
injected into the
animal's body. He called this method of preventing
disease vaccination. He
developed
vaccines to prevent deadly diseases in animals and
people.
The
inventor Thomas Edison was another influential
scientist. He was born in the United
States
in
1847.
His
work
made
possible
the
pro
-
gress
of
technology
in
the
20th
century.
Almost everyone has been
affect
-
ed by the inventions
of Thomas Edison. These include the
motion pic
-
ture,
sound recording, and electric light. They are only
three of the many devices
Thomas
Edison
invented
or
helped
to
improve.
He
also
in
-
vented
devices
to
improve
the
telephone.
He
improved
machines
that
pro
-
duced
electricity.
And
he
worked
on
many
electric motors,
including those for trains. Thomas Edison once
said the electric light was the
most
difficult to develop. He also called it his most
important invention.
Our next scientist of the millennium is
the Austrian doctor Sigmund Freud. He changed
scientific ideas about the mind. Dr
Freud was born in 1856 in Moravia. He established
the
idea
that
dreams
help
us
understand
our
unconscious
self.
He
said
this
is
the
part
of
the
mind
containing wi
-
shes, desires,
or bad experiences too frightening to recognize.
Sigmund
Freud's work on the causes and
treatment of mental sicknesses helped to form the
ideas of
modern psychiatry. His ideas
about sexual development led to the discussion and
treatment

of
sexual
problems. Many of
Sigmund
Freud's
ideas are
no
longer
used
today, but
no
one
disputes his great
in
-
fluence on the science of
mental health.
Our
final
scientist
of
the
past
1,000
years
is
Albert
Einstein.
He
changed
the
way
we
understand the universe.
The great scientist was born in Germany in 1879.
In 1905, Albert
Einstein published one
of the most important scientific documents in
history. It explained his
special
theory of relativity. This theory is about the
ideas we use to describe natural events.
It is about time, space, mass, movement
and gravity. Albert Einstein is perhaps best known
for
his
mathematical
statement
E
=
mc2
or
energy
equals
mass
times
the
speed
of
light
squared. This statement ex

plained that a great
amount of energy could come from a small piece of
matter. It explained
how the sun could
give off heat and light for millions of years. It
also led to the discovery of
atomic
energy.
Albert
Einstein's
theories,
like
those
of
the
other
great
scientists
of
the
millennium, changed our
world.

Many
English
language
learners
believe
that

cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They

the reader can glance back at them or
re

thoroughly. This frequently means that students
who are learning to listen cannot keep
up. They are so busy working out the
meaning of one part of what they hear that they
miss
the next part. Or they simply
ignore a whole section because they fail to sort
it out quickly
enough. Either way, they
fail.
Another
difficulty
is
that the
listener
is not always
in
a

to

the speaker

Choice of vocabulary is in
the hands of the speaker, not the

circumstances it is possible to stop
the speak

clarification. Sometimes listeners
can
get the meaning of a word from its context. But
very often, for people listening to a

foreign language, an unknown word can
be like a suddenly dropped barrier causing them to
stop and think about the meaning of the
word and thus making them miss the next part of
the speech. In listening, it really is
a case of
Indeed, determination to listen to what
is coming, and letting things that have passed

often say

rephrase them, or another speaker echoes what has

Tapescript;
This
year,
the
world
marked
the
250th
anniversary
of
the
birth
of
Austrian
composer
Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart. There have been
celebra
-
tions of the
composer's work all year
long.
On
December
5,
music

around
the
world
observed
the
anni

of
the
composer's
death.
That
music is from Mozart's Requiem, a work the
composer did not complete before his
death.
A
Requiem
is
music
written
in
honor
of
some
-
one
who
has
died.
Many
people
consider the music and its subject
matter to add to the mystery surrounding Mozart's
death.
Could it be that the composer
sensed his approaching death from fever and wrote
Requiem
in
Part
II
Mozart's music still
alive today
his own honor?
There is no doubt, however, that the music of
Mozart has more to do with
life and
happiness than with sadness or mystery.
Mozart wrote and performed
music in the second half of the 18th century.
During this
period, European musicians
performed for kings, queens and other royalty.
Musicians often
depended on wealthy
people called patrons to support them.
Mozart, along with his
friend Joseph Haydn, became the best

Five

babies.
Only

Wolfgang's
father
was
a
well
-
known
violin
teacher.
The
year
Wolf
-
gang
was
born,
Leopold
published
a
popular
book
on
violin
playing.
Soon
Wolfgang
started
to
show
an
unusual command of many
instruments.
By
the
age
of
eight,
he
played
the
piano
梥
ometimes
with
his
eyes
covered.
He
also
played the organ and violin very well.
He showed an understanding of music of a much
older
person.
Travel enriched the education of the
young Mozart. His father worked in many of the
great cities of 18th century Europe.
The family visited London, Munich, Vienna, Prague
and
Paris.
Mozart married Constanze Weber in the
Austrian capital in 1782. He described his wife
as having
children but only
two survived. They were happy together, although
their life was sometimes
difficult.
In Vienna, Mozart wrote his greatest
operas
梞
usical plays
per
-
formed with an
orchestra.
His works were performed in
other cities as well. His Marriage of Figaro was
so popular in
Prague that he was asked
to write an opera especially for a music house
there.
The
opera
he
composed
was
Don
Giovanni,
considered
by
many
to
be
his
best.
The
opera is based on the story of the
lover and fighter, Don Juan, by the Spanish writer
Tirso de
Molina. In
this
scene,
the spirit of
a man
Don
Giovanni had
killed
long
ago
returns
to
the
world of
the living to seize him and drag him down to
hell.
Events
have been held all over Europe and in the United
States to celebrate the 250th
anniversary of Mozart's birth. Salzburg
alone held about 500 events to celebrate the
famous
composer. Vienna spent about 60
million dollars in public and private money for
its Mozart
celebration.
In
reality,
there
is
an
ongoing
Mozart
celebration
all
the
time.
Mozart's
music
is
performed around the world.
Mozart died on December 5,
1791. He was only 35. He had
com
-
posed more than 600
pieces of music. Some experts consider
Mozart the greatest composer of all
time.
Near the
end of his life, Mozart composed the
Forty
-
First
Sympho
-
ny. After his death,
it
came to be known as Jupiter,
possibly in praise of its style and expression.
Critics consider it
one
of
Mozart's
truly
great
works
and
a
beautiful expression
of
the
classical
style
that
he
helped to define. Listen, and consider
that what you have heard on our program
