Task 2

【答案】

A.

Effects

You may do one of these things when sunbathing:

of

1. You don’t use any suntan oil.

Bergaso

2. You use an ordinary suntan oil.

l

3. You use Bergasol.

精选

.

Different results of different acts:

1. You skin may burn terribly if the sunshine is stronger than yo

u’re used to.

2. Your skin may not get burned, but you won’t get a good tan, either.

3. Your skin is protected while it gets a tan quickly.

How does Bergasol work?

The oil in Bergasol fruit activities cells in the skin that produce melanin, the

element that gives the skin the natural dark color.

Price of

More expensive than ordinary suntan oil

Bergaso

Reason: The special formulations in Bergasol isn’t cheap to prepare.

B.

1) b)

2) b)

【原文】

When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of these three things.

You

can

use

no

suntan

oil.

You

can

use

an

ordinary

suntan

oil.

Or

you

can

use

Bergasol.

If you don't use any suntan oil at all when you're in the sun that is stronger than

you're used to, you will bum surprisingly quickly.

If you use an ordinary suntan oil you

will

protect your skin

to a lesser or greater

degree. How much depends on the

these

oils block out so many of the

sun's rays you can stay

in the sun all day

without

burning

—

but you won't go very brown, either.

Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary suntan oil. But Bergasol oil also has

a tan accelerator which comes from the oil of the bergamot fruit.

It speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin.

And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown color.

So when you use Bergasol suntan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass the

difference will become more and more obvious.

Unfortunately this special formula isn't cheap. So Bergasol is rather more expensive

than ordinary suntan oil.

However the price looks more attractive as you do.

【原文】

Bob: You are not still watching television, are you?

Andre: Yes, I am. I enjoy it. The camera work was very good. It looked like the work of

real experts. Er... do you know the history of television in Britain?

Bob: Oh, television came to Britain in the year 1936.

Andre: Ah!

Bob: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during

the

Second

World

War.

It

was

started

up

again

afterwards.

The

BBC

was

the

organization responsible for it.

Andre: What do the initials BBC stand for?

Bob: The British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled

by

the

government,

but

it's

not

a

private

company

either.

That

means

that

the

government

can't

use

the

BBC

for

propaganda

purposes,

and

nor

can

private

individuals or firms.

Andre: Is advertising allowed on the BBC?

Bob: No, though some satellite channels get more autonomy. ITV gets its money from

advertising, though.

Andre: ITV?

Bob:

ITV

stands

for

Independent

Television.

It

was

started

in

1954

—

again

in

the

London area. It covers the whole country now, though.

Andre: Why does everything start in London?

Bob: Well... it's the capital after all

—

and the largest centre of population. If you start

up a public service

—

like TV

—

there, it gets to as many people as possible to start

with.

Andre: What do people think of the advertisements on television?

Bob: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television

can pay its way

—

ITV gets all its money from advertisements.

Andre: What about the BBC?

Bob: You have to buy a TV license and that money goes to the BBC. A lot of people

don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too.

On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an

insult to their intelligence.

Andre: Mm. The advertisements are very subtle, then?

精选

.

Bob: Well... some aren't, anyway. Lots of people go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea

when the adverts are on... or take their dog for a walk.

Andre: I see. What do you think of your television programmes? Do you like watching

them?

The

programme

we've

just

seen

was

okay,

but

what

about

television

in

general?

Bob: Well, you know how you foreigners say our policemen are wonderful? It's...

Andre: Do they? I didn't know they did.

Bob: American tourists are supposed to say that, anyway. Well, as I was going to say,

people from overseas are supposed to say that sort of thing about our television

as well. Personally, I think the BBC has invented that story. There are some pretty

awful programmes on TV, but some are quite good.

Andre: What sort of things do you watch yourself?

Bob: I watch mainly news programmes. And I like old films, too.

Andre: Old films? I don't see how you can criticize television if you just watch old films.

You might just as well go to the cinema.

Bob: Oh

—

not on your life, the cinema costs money. Besides, it's a lot more trouble

going out than staying at home. And I like old films, not new ones. There are a lot

of other people like me, too.

Andre: Mm, reasonable enough, I suppose.

Bob: And it's not just films that people would rather watch on TV. Fewer people go to

football matches nowadays, for instance. They prefer to watch them on TV.

Andre: Surely it's not as good on television as it is in real life?

Bob: Oh, you lose a bit of the atmosphere, of course, and you don't feel part of the

occasion

in

the

same

way

as

you

do

when

you're

actually

there.

But

you

get

a

much better view of the

game on television, and you don't have to move from

your armchair.

Andre: Ah... well, thank you very much. What's on next?

Bob: Oh, my goodness. Some people don't ever do anything but watch television and

ask questions!

【原文】

About

four

years

ago

I

was

attacked

on

the

street,

knocked

down

and

my

bag

stolen. All my friends and family were very sympathetic and helped me go to the police

to report it. Now I am a victim again, but this time it is my husband who is assaulting

me

—

hitting, insulting and intimidating me. Yet my family doesn't see me as a victim now.

They say if I was more patient and tried harder to please my husband he wouldn't beat

me. But I don't think I deserve this treatment

—

just like I didn't deserve to be attacked

and robbed.

Physical assault is a crime whether it happens in the home or on the street. Build

family respect and harmony; speak out against domestic violence.

I

might

have

a

university

degree,

a

well

paid

job,

the

best

car

in

the

street

and

money in my pocket

—

but I don't have what I value most in life

—

my children and their

mother. I was a fool to think that by using force I could control those I loved. I admit I

treated her badly and hurt her deeply. I thought that the children didn't know what was

happening, but of course they did. Children can sense unhappiness in their mother.

Now

when

I

look

back

on

it,

I

realize

that

a

home

which

has

violence

and

disrespect scares away love and happiness. Domestic violence causes family destruction.

It was so hard coming to a new country, with a new life, and everything so different.

I

felt

like

everything

was

out

of

my

control.

Except

in

my

home

and

family

—

at

least

there I could be boss. But I abused my position as head of the household and treated my

wife badly. My wife

—

she's pretty smart

—

she got some information about the Australian

law which says what I am doing is illegal.

Jeez, I don't want to end up in the court system with the police on my back! No

way! I've got my kids to think about. I'm going to change my ways

—

before it's too late

and I lose my family's love.

Love builds harmony in the family. Domestic violence destroys everything.
