Having been married for more than 40 years, I can attest to the truth of the following

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



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.

pre


-


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



hether


arranged


by


families


or


occurring


from


personal


attraction


or


love



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:




physical appearance fall in love loving somebody




Vocabulary:

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



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



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.

Now you are going to hear some views on men's


-


right


the summary.



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



as the


-


right




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



-


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.


Both


men


describe


their



-


right




Although


some


men


define


the



-


right


wi fe


by


her


physical


qual


-


ities,


other


men


describe their


-


right


define his


-


right


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



-


right


-



mospheres.




Men from all nationalities also have their definition of the


-


right


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 moder


-


ately built.




Other


nationalities,


such


as


the

John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uni

A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay

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

Findings:

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

esteem.

value of what he does. The scientists studied self


-


es


-


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


-


pressed


people


discover new ways of


thinking and dealing with problems.




Public education is needed to help people better understand depression.

guy behind the counter is very surly and er, you know refuses to treat me, er like a human


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


very clever remarks. (Oh ... yes, one of those, yes. . . ) (Laughter) And er that for me, that for


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

Write down the key points in the chart below.



How to deal with anger

And they



can go and they can spend twenty minutes punching hell out of this punch bag. ( Great ... oh


right) And they go back to work and they feel great.




B: Oh God yes, well, that brings us on to laughing then. (Laughter) That made me laugh.

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 skills



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

Warming up



Key words: imagination other people




Vocabulary:



prosper / shed light onto / be blessed with / positive / critically / interact



In


this


part


you


are


going


to


hear


a


passage


about


how


one


can


achieve


success.


Listen


carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing words.



Tapescript;




No one sets out in life to fail. The reality is that many do. Why do some prosper while


others struggle just to exist? There is no simple answer to that question but here are a few


thoughts that might shed some light on


-


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

No man is an island. We must interact with and receive the support of others. Build a


network of friends. Get to know people of achieve

ment. Listen to their words, watch their


actions and apply what works for you.

Speaker 1




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



xcellently



n such a horrible society that we live in to


-


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

< br>-


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




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.

ing information.


Write no more than three words in each blank.



Tapescript;




It


is


well


that


young


men


should


begin


at


the


beginning


and


occupy


the


most


subordinate


positions.


Many


of


the


leading


businessmen


of


Pitts


-


burgh


had


a


serious


responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced


to


the


broom,


and


spent


the


first


hours


of


their


business


lives


sweeping


out


the


office.

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

give


it


a


shot.


I

my best

of


humor.


I


genuinely like people and I like talk

ing to people and I like to be entertaining if I can possibly


be. Conrad, The United States



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

I'm

to


hear

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 defi

ways . . . I'm not afraid


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.

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

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

After


seeing


the

unselfish gesture has brought praise from Michigan State Representative and Speaker of the


House, Bobby Crimm. He wrote a letter and said,


you, Andy. You are truly an extraordinary young man.

verything nowadays seems to involve giving information about one's personal life


and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter in hand. When applying for a job, it


may be of some obscure interest to a prospective employer to learn that I collect stamps or


had measles as a child. But why should he conceivably want to know that my father was a


tobacconist to live in Foreland and died when he was 82. The authorities who require one to

other


scientists

method that would prove Copernicus correct.

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


-


Part III



Scientists of the millennium { II)



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.

Letting Things Go



peed and Vocabulary




Many


English


language


learners


believe


that


the


greatest


difficul

ty


with


listening


comprehension is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel


that


the


utterances

sort


them


out,


whereas


the


words


in


a


written text re


-


main on the page where the reader can glance back at them or re


-


examine


them 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


position


to


get


the speaker


to


repeat what has been said. And, of course, re

peats cannot be asked for when listening to


the radio or watching tele

vision.




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

circumstances it is possible to stop the speak

er and ask for 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


go rather than dwelling upon them, often gives surprisingly good results. Speakers often say


things more than once, or rephrase them, or another speaker echoes what has been said.

J: (I've) done the London Marathon twice ?that's right! R: Wow

J: It's 26 miles and a little bit more

J: Ah . . . in my case, I did a little bit more running than I normally do R: And what do you


normally do?




J: Well, I go out running about once a week, for about an hour, and I only did a little bit


more for the London Marathon than I would nor

mally do, so I was running a maximum of


about 20 miles a week. I never did any more than that.




R: And do you do keep fit exercises and things, or is it just running?

R: To your foot?




J: Well, actually to my ankle.




R: From running?




J : I hurt my ankle playing football about three days before.




R: So you were quite nervous.




J: I was quite nervous. So I was nervous about my ankle and I was very concerned about


making sure I kept up with the time that I hoped to run each mile in during the race. And I


was hoping to run each mile in round about seven minutes. Because the whole field moved


very slowly at the start, the first mile marker went by and I'd taken nine and a half minutes to


run.

my name will be the lucky one. And in fact that's how I got into the London Marathon in the

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.

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



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



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

came to be known as Jupiter, possibly in praise of its style and expression. Critics consider it
