Listening Strategy
Identifying Numbers
Numbers
appear
very
often
in
every
kind
of
listening
material.
The
ability
to
catch
the
exact
numbers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner. A good way is
to practice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to
say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. It also helps to practice writing down the numbers
you hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into Chinese. You're going to hear a
passage about Michael Jordan, a retired American professional basketball player.
Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers.
Michael
Jordan
is
the
greatest
basketball
player
of
all
time.
He
was
born
on
Feb.17,
1963,
in
Brooklyn, New York. He is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 216 pounds. Jordan joined the Chicago
Bulls team for the 1984 season. In the 1986 season he shot 3041 points, the third highest score
ever. He was named NBA Slam Dunk Champion(
扣篮冠军
)in 1987 and won the Most Valuable
Player Award in 1988, an honor repeated four times in the next ten years to 1998. Jordan guided
his team to win six NBA championships during the 1990s, scoring 45 points during the sixth and
last game of the 1998 NBA finals. In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of
the 20th century. Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of the 1993-1994 NBA season to pursue a
career in baseball. Since his baseball game wasn't quite as good as his basketball games, he finally
gave
it
up
to
rejoin
the
Bulls
in
1995.
Yet,
after
playing
for
five
more
years,
he
once
again
announced his retirement in 1999. But he returned for two more NBA games in 2001 as a member
of the Washington Wizards.

A Conversation
Why Don't You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?
Exercise 1
Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.
Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?
Laura: Hi, Peter. I'm off to the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know. I try to go three times a
week, but I'm busy so I can't always make it.
Peter: I know more women who work out than men. What's the main reason you work out? For
your health, or to look good?
Laura: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration.
Peter: If they were honest, most men who work out would admit that they also do it to look better,
and not merely for health reasons.
Laura: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise?
Peter: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a
time but I never go to the gym like you do.
Laura: Well, walking is good exercise. How about sports?
Peter: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough
people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV.

Laura: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends, and sometimes go swimming and cycling by
myself.
Peter: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation,
but only recreational swimming.
Laura: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime? I can get you a guest pass.
Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.

Listening
People
do
not
always
say
directly
what
they
mean.
Very
often,
we
have
to
listen
the
lines
meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, we can rely on such things as the context, the
meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says
write
accept
the
invitation.
And
if
someone
says
passed
with
flying
colors
in
reply
to
an
inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom
flying colors
meaning of a message. For example,
opposite. You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.
Listen carefully and write down
1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate?
W: Yes, many times.
Whenever my friends come to visit me, I'll take them there to eat.
2. W: Is there something wrong, sir?
M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal.
3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?
M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?
4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.
M: Next to beef.
5. M: Have you tried this wine before?
W: No, never. It's my first time, but it's really to my taste.
6. W: John, do you want a soda?
M: Soda? I think it tastes like medicine.

What About Dining Out?
Exercise 1
Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.
Peter: Hi, Kate.
Kate: Hi, Peter. How have you been?
Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?
Kate: Not too bad. We haven't seen each other for a while, have we?
Peter: No, we haven't. So that makes me ask. Do you have any plan for this Saturday?
Kate: No, not yet, I don't think so. Why?
Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?
Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?
Peter: Well, I think I'd like to eat something that's not too heavy. I've been eating a little too much
lately.
Kate: Me too.
Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve so
much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.
Kate: Chinese food would be good.
Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil
or cream or heavy sauces.
Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let's just meet on Saturday night, and decide
then where to eat.
Peter: That's fine by me.

Unit 3 Weather
Part A
Listening Strategy
Listening for Important Details
Besides
understanding
the main
idea
of
a
listening
text,
we
often
find
it
necessary
to
grasp
the
important details as well. What counts as important details depends on the kind of information we
want. Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our
ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. In listening
to
a
weather
report,
on
the
other
hand,
the
important
details
we
should
watch
out
for
are
the
current
weather
conditions,
temperature,
and
weather
outlook.
You're
going
to
hear
two
short
passages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions,
temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in
note form.
Then complete the exercises in your book.
1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in
southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then,
with long sunny periods developing.
There
will
be
light
winds
with
a
maximum
temperature
of
18
degrees
Celsius,
64
degrees
Fahrenheit. Look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy
showers moving in from the west.
2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday.
The
storm
lasted
about
three
hours
from
around
8
p.m.
The
winds
reached
speeds
of
over
a
hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.

Michelle: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.
Alan: That's certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for
the annual picnic.
Michelle: You can't have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and
games and entertainment.
Alan: Yeah, sunshine
—
but not too much! Do you remember last year?
Michelle: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the
sun.
Alan: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold
drinks. And then we dozed off.
Michelle: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off.
Alan: But there wasn't. Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just
seemed to climb higher and higher.
Michelle: Well, we don't have that problem this year, apparently.
Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?
Alan: I don't know. I didn't catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short
shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.
Questions
1. What are Alan and Michelle mainly doing?
2. What do you know about Alan?
3. What can you infer from the conversation?

Unit 4 Music
Part A
Listening Strategy
Listening for Signal Words
The ability to identify signal words can help us follow the thread of the speaker's thought. People
often use signal words or phrases like
contrasts with what has just been said or to signal what they are about to say is the result or cause
of their previous remarks. Similarly, words and phrases like
and
usually
signal
that
the
speaker
is
going
to
provide
an
illustration or emphasize a certain point or discuss several aspects of a certain topic. So we should
pay
attention
to
signal
words
in
listening
as
they
will
prepare
us
for
what
is
going
to
be
said.
You're going to hear four short passages.
Listen carefully and write down the signal word(s) in each passage. Then choose a, b, c or d to
indicate the function of the signal word(s) used in each of the passages.
1. Most people like music. In fact, we are surrounded by it. It's on the radio and television and can
be heard in stores and restaurants. However, not everyone likes the same kind of music.
2. The manager of the music shop was called Brian Epstein. Because so many people had asked
for a record by the Sun, Epstein decided to go and listen to the group himself.
3. Firstly I would like to talk about classical music and its representative composers, then I will

move on to jazz music, and finally I will focus on pop music in the last century.
4. We listen to exciting music and our hearts beat faster, our blood pressure rises, and our blood
flows more quickly. In short, we're stimulated.
[ti:Unit 4 Part B]
Listening Tasks
A Passage
Background Music
Exercise 1
Listen to the passage. As you listen, read the signal words in your book and put a tick () in the
brackets after the ones you have heard.
Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it.
Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA.
Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat
a meal without listening to music. To begin with, background music was intended simply to create
a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing
expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase
receipts by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot
items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in
restaurants
slow
music
meant
customers
took
longer
to
eat
their
meals,
which
reduced
overall
sales.
So
restaurant
owners
might
be
well
advised
to
play
faster
music
to
keep
the
customers
moving
—
unless, of course,the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.
Questions
1. Where was recorded background music first used?
2. What was the original purpose of background music?
3. What kind of music can have a powerful effect on customers in shops?
4. Why doesn't the same kind of music work in restaurants according to the passage?

Listen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.
Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her
parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had
composed
the
song
Was
Only
a
Dream
Her
mother
and
brother
helped
her
to
make
a
recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French
singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first conquest, but there would be
millions
more.
Celine's
rise
from
a
teenage
singer
to
a
pop
superstar
has
been
steady,
but
not
without difficulties. Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager
than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album. But her first two albums
won a great success. And by 1983 she became the first Canadian ever to have a gold record in
France.
In
1990,
Celine
made
her
first
English
language
record
with
Unison
but
her
real
breakthrough in America came when she was selected by Disney to sing the theme song of Beauty
and
the
Beast.
The
song
went
to
No.1
on
the
chart
and
won
both
a
Grammy
and
an
Academy
award. In 1996 she performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and
in
1997
she
recorded
the
theme
song
for
Titanic,
and
her
name
became
synonymous
with
the
enormously
successful
film.

is
love.

is
an
important
skill
in
listening comprehension. Although sometimes the conversation itself does not contain words that

Going to See the Doctor
Exercise 1
Listen to the conversation and choose the right answers to complete the statements.
D: So what's your trouble?
P: Well, doctor, I haven't been feeling well lately. My biggest problem is that I'm having trouble
sleeping.

P: I've tried one or two, but they don't seem to help.
D: How long have you had this problem?
P: Three or four months
—
it's been rather a long time now.
D: Are you suffering from an unusual level of stress in your life lately?
P: Not more than usual. My biggest worry is the fact I can't sleep.

P: But I feel tired all day, so it is a problem for me.
D: Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?
P: I've also had a lot of indigestion lately.
D: Well, you are a little overweight, aren't you?
P: Yes. And I've gained about seven kilograms this past year.

Listening Strategy
Identifying the Major Events in a Conversation
The ability to identify the major events of a conversation is an important aspect of training in
listening
comprehension.
Here
we
are
concerned
with
what
the
speakers
are
doing.
Are
they
engaged
in
small
talk
to
promote
friendship,
or
discussing
something
serious
to
bring
about
an
action?
Questions
like
the
following
can
give
us
a
clue
as
to
what
is
actually
happening
in
a
conversation: Who are the speakers? What is the relationship between them? What are they talking
about?
Listen to the conversation and answer the questions.
W: Here we are, Mr. Wang. This is a newly-built building.
M: What a fine building! How many floors are there?
W: Forty. Our company has offices on four floors in the building.
M: Yours is really a big company.
W: Yes, it is. The sales office is on the first floor. The marketing and accounting offices are on the
second floor. And we have many other departments: personnel, research, etc. They are all on the
8th floor.
M: Where's the manager's office?
W: It's on the 9th floor. Let me show you around.
M: Thank you.

Who Is to Be Promoted?
Exercise 1
Listen to the conversation and answer the questions below.
(The Personnel Department is having a meeting. Joan Black is the chairperson of the meeting.)
Joan:
I

Peter: Well, in my opinion, John's always shown great loyalty to the company. It's time this was
rewarded. What do you think, Clive?
Clive:
It's
not
just
a
question
of
loyalty.
Would
he
be
any
good
at
the
job?
He
would
need
to
manage a small team
—
he's got no experience of that yet.
Peter: He never will have any experience unless we give him a chance!
Joan: We can't afford to be sentimental. I don't think he's the man for the job. He's always been a
follower, not a leader. Let's move on to the other candidates. Rita Hayden has already shown great
personnel management skill, I feel, even if she's?
Peter:
Oh,
come
on,
Joan!
Rita's
still
learning
her
trade!
We
can't
afford
to
take
a
risk
with
someone so inexperienced.
Clive: I agree with Peter. I favor Susan Palmer. She's got a lot of experience. She's already worked
in the department on other occasions so she knows the ropes and she's?
Joan: But Susan's always struck me as a bit cautious. We need someone dynamic for this job.
Peter: I'd agree with Clive. I think Susan Palmer would do a good job. Maybe she's a bit cautious
but she's solid, reliable... We need those qualities too.
Joan:
Well,
if
you're
both
so
sure,
I
suppose
I'll
have
to
agree.
Still,
we'll
wait
a
week
before
confirming it just in case any other applicants put their names forward.

Test Your Listening
Listen to the story and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.
Mr. Stevenson was the owner of a general appliance store. He had seen many newly-weds
coming into his store to shop for their first refrigerator, washer and dryer, and air-conditioner. Pen
and
pencil
in
hand,
they
would
ask
him
a
lot
of
questions
about
price,
features
and
after-sale
services,
but
they
would
usually
walk
away
at
the
end
of
their
inquiry.
The
other
day
a
young
couple came into his store. They asked him all the usual questions and he answered all of them
patiently.
But
when
he
suggested
an
order
at
the
end,
they
replied
firmly,
have
to
look
around places first.
he smiled, moved closer and said,
That's perfectly understandable. I do the same. In fact, they sell the same stuff as we do. But if you
buy things there, there is something you will not get, and that is me.I come with everything I sell.
I've been in the business for thirty years and in a few years' time I'm going to give my store to my
daughter and son-in-law. I hope they will carry on the family business. I stand behind everything I
sell and I will make sure that you will never regret buying things from me.
Mr. Stevenson offered the young couple some ice cream to thank them for their interest. Impressed
by his honesty and sincerity, the young couple decided to place an order.
Questions
1. What did Mr. Stevenson's store sell?
2. Why did many newly- weds usually walk away at the end of their inquiry?
3. Which of the following best describes Mr. Stevenson's attitude towards his customers?
4. What was Mr. Stevenson's response to the young couple's refusal?
5. Why did the young couple finally decide to place an order?

Summarizing (1) In listening to a conversation, a talk or a lecture, it is not necessary to remember
every word. The important thing is to be able to grasp the main points. Summarizing, as the skill is

and make a summary of its main points.
M: Excuse me, do you have a T-shirt of this kind in a larger size?

A Passage
Fashion
—
Image or Reality?
Exercise 1
Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.
Why do people spend so much money on fashion? Do they want to create an image or make
sure they are not old-fashioned? Do people really judge each other by the clothes they wear? The
billion-dollar
fashion
industry
certainly
tries
to
convince
consumers
that
such
judgements
are
made.
Unfortunately,
they
may
be
right.
A
recent
study
using
elementary
school
students
was
interesting. They said that people wearing Calvin Klein designer jeans were more handsome and
successful than those wearing Wranglers. Levi- wearers were seen as sporty, fashionable and fun!
Obviously we learn early that
status and income. However, clothes that look great on professional models may look terrible on
the average buyer. Although beautiful clothes don't help physically, they are important for social
and psychological effects. Expensive clothes can make the wearer feel like part of the high status
group
that
sets
taste
and
style.
So
you
are
buying
an
image
of
success.
You
may
really
live
a
routine
life,
waking
up
in
the
morning
feeling
dull
and
ordinary.
But
when
you
dress
in
these
expensive clothes, your mood brightens. You feel good, ready to face another day with energy.
Sound
crazy?
People
who
love
clothes
say
it's
true.
Of
course,
a
lot
of
people
don't
like
high
fashion. They'd rather spend their money on something practical. Which would you prefer
—
the
image or the reality?
Questions
1. What is the main reason why people spend much money on fashion according to the speaker?
2. What does
3. What's the speaker's attitude towards fashion?

Listening Strategy
Summarizing (2) Good listeners, after listening to a text, will form in their minds a short report of
its main points. This report is a summary, which covers the main idea, major events, and important
details
such
as
numbers,
names,
and
places.
To
work
out
the
main
points
of
a
text,
one
of
the
important things to notice is the change of the subtopic (a text usually has one topic and several
subtopics). In other words, during the listening, listeners need to pay attention to when the speaker
moves from one subtopic to another. And then they should go on to catch those related important
details
under
each
subtopic.
Thus
a
summary
of
the
listening
text
can
easily
be
formed.
The
passage you are going to listen to contains 9 recommendations to keep you happy. Listen twice
and write down the first sentence of each recommendation. Some have already been done for you.
