云南大学杀室友-角的度量教学设计
I had two months until my new job began. It
was like waiting an entire summer
for
school
to
start.
I
spent
those
two
months
talking
to
figure
skating
coaches
and
judges. I read boring rule books. I
drove to the rinks where the skaters trained,
and made notes about our conversations.
I even took a lesson, which made some of
the skaters laugh.

Laura usually leaves
the offices of Quest
Productions at about 5 o'clock, but last
Monday she left at 5:30. She
wanted to get home by 6:30 and she ran to the bus
stop
but
she
couldn't
get
on
a
bus.
There
were
too
many
people
and
not
enough
buses.
Laura
was
desperate to get home so she decided to go by
tube.
In
the
station
she
went
to
one
of
the
automatic
ticket
machines
but
she
didn't
have enough
change, so she had to join the queue at the ticket
window. She bought
her ticket and ran
to the escalator. Laura went to the platform and
waited for the
tube. It arrived and the
crowd moved forward.
Laura
was pushed into the train. It was almost full but
she was given a seat
by a man with a
moustache. Laura thanked him and sat down. She
started to read her
newspaper.
In
the
tunnel
the
train
stopped
suddenly
and
Laura
was
thrown
to
the
floor
together with the man with the
moustache. Somebody screamed. The lights went out.
It was quarter past 6 on a cold, wet
December evening.

【原文】
X
was a secret agent. He had rented a furnished room
in a provincial town not
far
from
the
public
park
and
had
been
there
two
weeks.
He
was
standing
at
the
window
looking out at the dull beds of
geraniums, the park gates and the cold, uninviting
statue
of
Queen
Victoria
that
stood
across
the
street
from
him,
It
was
raining
hard
and the few people who
passed by looked wet and miserable. X was
miserable, too.
How,
he
wondered,
could
anybody
think
there
was
anything
interesting
about
the
life
of a secret
agent He knew it was because people had seen so
many television plays
about glamorous
spies that they thought the life of a secret agent
was exciting.
They
were
convinced
that
every
cigarette
lighter
concealed
a
secret
tape
recorder;
that a fountain pen
held in a certain way would open a locked door,
that the touch
of a gold ring against
the hand of an enemy would make him reveal all his
secrets.
How
wrong
they
were!
He
looked
round
his
room.
The
wallpaper
was
in
the
worst
possible
taste, the
pictures horrible, the carpet worn, dirty and
faded; and he was cold.
This
was
the
third Monday he
had
come to
the
window to look out.
He prayed it would
be the
last.
As
if
in
answer
to
his
prayer,
a
certain
meeting
he
had
been
sent
to
investigate
was about to take place. He took out
his camera. Just beneath the statue two women
had
stopped
to
speak.
He
knew
one
of
them,
and
it
was
she
who
pointed
in
his
direction.
The
other
woman
looked
up
towards
him
and
in
that
brief
moment
he
photographed
her.

【原文】
Harry:
Well, Robert, have you made up your mind yet what
you want to do when you
leave
college
Nora: Oh Harry. Surely
he's a bit young to decide on his career. He
hasn't even
got to college yet.
Harry:
Not
at
all,
Nora.
It's
wisest
to
decide
in
good
time.
Look
at
me,
for
example.
I really wanted to be a
sailor, but now I spend my days sitting at a desk
in
an office. Yes, it's silly to train
for the wrong job. And after all, Robert
will be going to college soon.
Nora:
Now
if
I
were
a
man
I'd
be
a
farmer.
To
see
the
crops
growing --that's
my
idea
of a
good life.
Harry: Yes, and to
see the money rolling in is more important
still.
Robert: Well, that's not
the way I look at it, Dad. It's the job I care
about, not
the money.
Harry: Maybe not; but you'll learn to
care about the money too, when you've got
a family to keep.
Nora: And of course Peter
—
well, he's keen to be a racing driver, or else an
explorer.
Robert: Oh,
Peter's not old enough to make up his mind about
such things.
Harry: You haven't
answered my question yet, Robert. What would you
like to do
Nora: Are you sure
you don't want to be a farmer, Robert Or a market
gardener
Robert:
No,
I'm
sorry
Mum,
but
I
don't
want
to
at
all.
I'd
rather
be
a
civil
engineer.
I want to build roads and
bridges.
Harry: Not ships Isn't
it better to be a shipbuilding engineer
Robert: Look here, is it my career
we're planning, or yours
Harry:
All
fight,
all
right,
there's
no
need
to
lose
your
temper.
But
you'd
better
win that
scholarship first.
Task 4
【答案】
I.
correspondents; columnist
A. may not need
either
B. to go to places where
events take place and write stories about
them
II.
first; bigger; better; who will soon leave to work for other people
III.
working hours; free time; work long hours to begin with
【原文】
Here
are some of the things a young man or woman should
not do when he first
asks an editor for
a job:
He should not tell
the editor that he wants to be a foreign
correspondent or
a
columnist.
Very
probably
the
editor
does
not
need
either.
He
wants
a
reporter
who
will go to
such places as government offices and police
stations and write a true
story
of
what
is
happening
there.
Being
a
foreign
correspondent
or
a
columnist
will
come
later.
A young person
should not tell tile editor that newspaper work is
only the
first step on the way to
bigger and better jobs, such as those in
government. The
editor
must
take
a
lot
of
time
and
trouble
teaching
someone
to
be
a
good
newspaperman
or woman. He does not like the idea of
teaching people who are soon going to leave
him to work for someone else.
A young journalist should accept
the working hours and free time the editor
gives him. As a new journalist, it is
very probable that he will work longer hours
than others and work on weekends. The
editor did the same when he was a young
newspaperman with no experience. He
expects a journalist to understand how things
are on a newspaper.
Task 5

A.

SYLVIA: We've got a new manager in our
department.
LARRY: Oh You hoped to get that job, didn't you
SYLVIA: Yes, I did.
LARRY: I'm sorry. That's too bad. Who is it Who got the job, I mean
SYLVIA: Someone called Drexler. Carl Drexler. He's been with the company only
two years. I've been here longer. And I
know more about the job, too!
LARRY: Hmm. Why do you think they gave
it to him and not to you
SYLVIA: Because I'm the wrong sex, of course !
LARRY: You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman
SYLVIA: Yes, that was probably it! It isn't fair.
LARRY: What sort of clothes does he wear
SYLVTA: A dark suit. White shirt. A tie. Why
LARRY: Perhaps that had something to do with it.
SYLVIA:
You
mean
you
think
I
didn't
get
the
job
because
I
come
to
work
in
jeans
and a sweater
LARRY: It's possible, isn't it
SYLVIA: Do you really think I should wear different clothes
LARRY: Well. . . perhaps you should think about it.
SYLVTA: Why should I wear a skirt Or a dress
LARRY:
I'm not saying you should. I'm
saying you should think
about
it. That's
all!
SYLVIA:
Why
should
I
do
that
I'm
good
at
my
job!
That's
the
only
important
thing!
LARRY: Hmm. Perhaps it should be the only important thing. But it isn't. Not
inthis company.

Al: Is
this the right line to file a claim
Bob: Yeah. It's the same line for
everything. You just stand here and wait.
Al: Oh. Is there always such a long
line
Bob: Every week. Sometimes
longer. Is this your first time here
Al: Yes.
Bob: What
happened Your plant closed down
Al: No. I'm a car salesman, or, I was a car
salesman. But we just aren't selling
cars. It's the interest rates. Two
years ago, I averaged ten new cars a month.
Do you know how many cars I sold last
month One. One car to a lady who had the
cash.
But
the
interest
rates
are
up
again.
The
boss
let
three
of
us
go.
How
about
you
Bob: I worked at a vacuum cleaner plant
with about fifty workers. We put in a good
day's work. But the machinery was
getting old. As a matter of fact, the whole
plant was old. So the management
decided to build a new plant. You know where
In Singapore. The workers here made
about seven dollars an hour, a couple of
people
made
eight
or
nine
an
hour.
You
know
how
much
they're
paying
the
workers
in Singapore $$ an hour!
Anyway, all fifty of us got laid off.
Al: How long ago was that
Bob: They closed down ten months
ago.
Al: Any luck finding
another job
Bob: Nothing. I have
one, sometimes two, interviews a week. Last week I
thought I
had
something. They
liked
my
experience
with
machines.
But
I
never
heard
from
them again.
Al: At
least you know something about machines. All I can
do is talk.
Bob:
Maybe
you'll
talk
yourself
into
another
job.
Good
luck.
I'll
see
you
here
next
week.
Al: I hope not. I hope I'll have
something by then.

According
to
the
first
speaker,
it
is
frustrating
because
the
teacher
cannot
see
clearly the results of his
efforts.
2)
According
to
the
second
speaker,
English
language
teaching
is
a
good
job,
because
it guarantees a stable
income and regular working hours and means less
pressure.
He also likes the way elderly
teacher are.
【原文】
Interviewer: Do you prefer what you're
doing to teaching
John
Smith:
Yes,
one
of
the
things
I
found
a
bit
frustrating
about
teaching
was
that
it was rather,
very
intangible than um, especially if you're teaching
in England and most of the
students
know
quite
a
lot
of
English
before
they
arrive.
They
learn
a
lot
of
English
outside the classroom, in pubs or
coffee shops or other places, with the families
they're living with. It's very
difficult to pin down how much they learn from
your
actual
lesson,
whereas
in
marketing
um,
again
there
are
lots
of
areas
that
are
gray
rather
than
black
or
white,
but
there
are
quite
a
few
other
areas
where
one
can
see
quite clearly the results of one's
efforts.
Interviewer: What did
you do after you quit your job in
advertising
Second Man: In fact,
I became a journalist and I worked as a freelance.
I didn't
have
a
full-time
job
with
any
newspaper.
I
just
had
to
contribute
things
as they came along and 1 wrote for
magazines, and I did quite a lot of
broadcasting
for
the
VOA.
Well,
this
was in a
way
the
opposite of
advertising because I enjoyed it a lot
but I found it very hard to earn
enough
money to live on.
Interviewer:
And then you decided to be a teacher
Second
Man:
Well,
and
so
I
thought.
Well,
I
must
do
something
which
produces
an
income
that I can be
sure of. While I was working as a journalist I had
done
an
article
for
a
magazine
about
the
English
language
teaching
world
and
m fact I had
come to the school where I now teach as a
journalist and
interviewed
a
lot
of
the
people.
And
I
thought
it
seemed
a
very
nice
place
and I thought that the
classes I visited had a very, very nice feeling
about them, and so I thought, well,
I'll see if they'll have me.
Interviewer: Why do you prefer teaching to
advertising
Second
Man:
Well,
partly
because
in
teaching
you
work
regular
hours.
It
I
advertising
you just had to stay
at the office until the work was finished [I see.]
and it could be three o'clock in the
morning. [Oh, dean] Also you were
very
often made to work at weekends. Often some job
would come up that
was very important
and they said it had to be finished
—
it had to go
into the
newspapers next week.
Interviewer: So there was a lot mom
pressure.
Second
Man:
There
was
a
lot
more
pressure
in
advertising.
Also,
the
people
I
worked
with
when
I
was
first
in
advertising
were
young
hopeful
people
like
myself.
By
the
end
I
was
working
with
a
lot
of
old
people
who
quite
honestly
were
awful.
And
I
kept
looking
at
them
and
saying,
I
going
to
be
like
that
And I thought if I am I'd
better get out, whereas the English language
teachers
I
saw,
who
were
older
people
I
thought,
well,
they
seemed
quite
nice. And I
wouldn't mind being like that myself.
