Part 2 Listening and Note-taking

























Ralph Nader








































Ralph
Nader
is
a
man
of
few
possessions.
He
owns
very
little
and
lives
in
a
small
apartment.
He
doesn't
have
a
car
or
a
TV
set.
He
doesn't
have
many
clothes
and
he
doesn't
care
about
money:
when
he
makes
a
lot
of
money,
he
gives
it
away.
He
doesn't
smoke and
he works from six in the morning
until late at night, seven days a week: he is
paying back to America his debt as a citizen.





When
he
went
to
parties
as
a
young
man,
people
complained
that
all
he
talked
about
was
the
dangers
of
cars,
and
how
bad
car
design
caused
the
deaths
of
so
many

people
each
year
.
After
he
graduated
from
Harvard,
he
published
an
article
entitled

at
Any
Speed,
which
was
about
a
car
called
Corvair
.
Later
,
he
made
a
big
attack on the car industry and showed how many deaths in car accidents were because of
badly-made cars.
He said
new laws
were needed to
make cars safer
. In 1966,
because of
Nader's work, a law was passed to make car safer
.





After
this
success, Nader
became
interested
in
something
very
different.
This
was
the
quality
of
meat
and
the
amount
of
meat
that
is
put
into
foods
like
sausages
and
hamburgers.
A
year
later
,
in
1967,
again
because
of
Nader's
work,
a
law
was
passed
to
ensure that
products like sausages and
hamburgers contained
the
right amount of
meat.
In 1968, three more laws
were passed because of Nader's efforts. The first
was to ensure
the safety of gas pipelines -- these are the pipes that take gas across the country from one
town to another
. The second was to protect people from radiation --that is, the dangerous
radiation
which
may
leak
from
nuclear
sources.
The
third
was
to
ensure
the
proper
standard of poultry -- that is, the chicken and turkey meat.





Ralph Nader
,
now one of the
most influential
people in the United States, has set a
wonderful example of what determined men and women can do to improve the quality of
life in their country.

Exercise A:
1. Ralph Nader is a man of few
possessions
.

paying back
to America his
debt
as a
citizen

laws
were needed to make cars
safer
.
4. A law
was passed to
ensure
that
products like sausages and
hamburgers contained the
right
amount
of
meat
.
5. Ralph Nader
has set a wonderful
example
of what

Dialogues
Dialogue 1 Give Them Time to Get to Know you
Father:



W
ell, whose fault do you think it is, then?
Daughter:

I don't know.
Father
.




It couldn't be yours?
Daughter:

What? That I feel lonely because I haven't any friends there?
Father:



No, that you haven't got any friends.
Daughter: But I've told you! They're not very friendly there. They never talk to me! They
just leave me alone.
Father:


But why?
Daughter:

How should I know?
Father:


Isn't it possible it's because you're not very friendly towards them?
Daughter:

What do you mean?
Father:

Have you talked to them? Have you tried to make conversation?
Daughter:

I've told you! They're not interested in talking to me.
Father:

How do you know?
Daughter:

Because ... for example ... at lunch time, they all sit together in groups!
Father:

Y
es, but why don't you sit with one of the groups?
Daughter: Don't be silly. I couldn't. It would be awful!
Father:

Why?
Daughter: It just would. That's all.
Father:


How do you know?
Daughter:

I just do!
Father:

W
ell, you'll never make friends if you don't try,
will you? I
mean, you've got to
meet them, too, at least half way.
Daughter: It just wouldn't work!
Father: Y
ou know what I think. I think you're just saying that because you're impatient.
Daughter: Impatient? Me?
Father: Y
es, impatient. Y
ou always have been, ever since you were a child. If you don't get







what you want immediately, you get depressed and you give up too easily!
Daughter: Look, if you came with me some morning, you'd understand ...
Father:

Y
ou've only been there for four weeks. These things take time.
Daughter: I know, but I still feel ...
Father:

Listen,
give
them
time
to
get
to
know
you ...
and
give
yourself
time
to
get
to
know them, and things will change. Believe me!

Part 2 Passages
Passage 1

Why Shouldn't you Go by First Impressions?






One shouldn't always go by* first impressions. In my hometown there lived a giant of a
man
with
huge hands and a
manner so fierce and
unfriendly
that
he always sat alone
in
any
public
place.
Y
et to those who knew
him, he
was a kind and generous friend. In the
same way one should never assume* that somebody who looks inoffensive is always going
to behave in an inoffensive manner
.



Recently
my young brother
, who
works for a famous American airline, was reminded
of this truth. The plane was overbooked and for once all the passengers turned up. So my
brother
had
the difficult task of choosing three passengers and informing them that they
couldn't travel on the flight in question*.



Knowing
that
the
young
are
generally
impatient
and
often
aggressive,
my
brother
chose three elderly travellers, an English couple and a little old American lady.



The English couple accepted the situation and
went to have a drink
while waiting
for
the
next
flight.
Then
my
brother
approached
the
American
lady,
whose
name
was
Mrs.
Pepper
,
with a sad smile on
his face,
“
Mrs. Pepper? May I have a few
words? I'm afraid
we have a problem.










ould you like to come into
the office?
brother
, sensing
that
this
was
not going to be easy.


















The little lady looked at him with steely, blue eyes.
oung man,
believe you are aware that you are talking to Mrs. Katherine
Pepper
,
widow of General
