2、过的 partB、C 的内容（其中包括的短对话也已删除）Unit1Unit1Part BThe Hospital WindowJack and Ben,both seriously ill,occupied the same hospital room.Jack,whose bed was next to the rooms only window,was allowed to situp in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from hislungs.But Ben had to spend all da
3、y and night flat on his bed.To kill timethe two men began to talk.They talked for hours about their wives,families,their homes,their jobs,their involvement in the military service,and where they had been on vacation.As days went by,a deep friendshipbegan to develop between them.Every afternoon when
4、Jack could sit up,he would pass the time bydescribing to Ben all the things he could see outside the window.And Benbegan to live for those one-hour periods where his world would bebroadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely la
5、ke.Ducks and swansplayed on the water while children sailed their model boats.Young loverswalked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow.Grand oldtrees beautified the landscape,and a fine view of the city skyline could beseen in the distance.As Jack described all this in exquisite deta
6、il,Ben would close hiseyes and imagine the picturesque scenes.One warm afternoon Jack described a parade passing by.Although Ben couldnt hear the band-he could see it in his minds eye asJack portrayed it with descriptive words.Days and weeks passed.One morning the day nurse arrived to bring waterfor
7、 their baths only to find the lifeless body of Jack,who had diedpeacefully in his sleep.She was saddened and called the hospitalattendants to take the body away.Ben was heart broken.Life without Jack was even more unbearable.How he longed to hear Jacks voice and his melodious descriptions of theouts
8、ide world!As he looked at the window,an idea suddenly occurred tohim.Perhaps he could see for himself what it was like outside.As soon asit seemed appropriate,Ben asked if he could be moved next to the window.The nurse was happy to make the switch,and after making sure he wascomfortable,she left him
9、 alone.Slowly,painfully,he propped himself up on one elbow to take hisfirst look at the world outside.Finally,he would have the joy of seeing itfor himself!He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside thebed.It faced a blank wall!What could have compelled my roommate to describe such won
10、derfulthings outside this window?Ben asked the nurse when she returned.Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you to live on,she said.Youknow,he was blind and could not even see the wall.Unit 3Part BBirthday Celebrations Around the WorldChairman:Welcome to this special birthday edition of One World.Yes
11、,folks,weve been on the air for exactly one year now,and we thoughtit would be a nice idea to have a special program dedicated to birthdaycelebrations around the world.With us in the studio tonight we haveShaheen Hag and Pat Cane,who have a weekly column on birthdays in theToronto Daily Star.Shaheen
12、:Good evening.Pat:Good evening.Chairman:Shaheen,perhaps we could begin with you.How are birthdayscelebrated in India?Shaheen:Well,perhaps were all assumingthat everyone in the world celebrates their birthday.This just isnt the case.Low-income families in India,for instance,simply cant afford anyfest
13、ivities.And most Muslims dont celebrate their birthdays.Pat:I think Shaheen has raised an interesting point here.The Christianchurch,too,was actively against celebrating birthdays,and in any casemost people,until a couple of hundred years ago,couldnt even read andwouldnt have even been able to spot
14、their birthday on a calendar anyway.Shaheen:Of course some Muslims do celebrate their birthdays.In Egypt,Turkey and Indonesia,for example,the rich people invite friends andfamilies around.But not in small villages.Chairman:Here in England your twenty-first used to be the big one.Butnow it seems to h
15、ave moved to eighteen.Is that true?Pat:Yes,in most parts of the West eighteen is now the most importantbirthday.In Finland,for example,eighteen is the age when you can vote,you know,or buy wines,drive a car and so on.But in Japan I think youhave to wait till youre twenty before you can smoke or drin
16、k.Shaheen:I know in Senegal,which is another Muslim country,girls get tovote at sixteen and boys at eighteen.And in Bangladesh,girls at eighteenand boys at twenty-one.Chairman:Thats interesting.I mean is it typical that around the worldgirls are considered to be more mature than boys?Shaheen:Yes,I t
17、hink so,and there are some countries,particularly inSouth America,which have a big party only for girls.In Mexico andArgentina,for example,they have enormous parties for 15-year-old girls.Pat:You know in Norway they have a great party for anyone whos notmarried by the time theyre thirty.Its kind of
18、embarrassing.I mean you getpepper thrown at you.Chairman:Pepper?Why pepper?Pat:Im not really sure.Shaheen:So does that mean that on your 29th birthday you can startthinking God I better get married?Pat:Well,Im not sure how seriously they take it.Chairman:In England we have quite big parties for your
19、 fortieth,fiftieth,sixtieth and so on.Pat:Well,in Japan your eighty-eighth is considered.Chairman:Eighty-eighth?Pat:.to be the luckiest birthday.Eight isa very lucky number in Japan.Part COne World One MinuteOne World One Minute is a unique film project that invitesparticipants in every country arou
20、nd the globe to record,simultaneously,one minute of their lives,one minute of our world.Sponsors of this projecthave chosen 12:48 GMT,September 11th 2002 as the one minute to record.At that moment exactly a year earlier began the terrorist attacks that led tothe deaths of more than 2,000 people from
21、 over 60 countries.For manythis will be a time of remembrance and reflection.And for others this willbe an appropriate time for international communication,cooperation andsharing.It will offer them an opportunity to share a moment of their worldand their life with others,an opportunity to both talk
22、to and listen to theworld,to join with others around the globe and create a truly uniquerecord and experience.This is the idea behind the project One World OneMinute.Participants are free to choose what and how to record their OneMinute.Some may want to take photographs,some paint or draw pictures,w
23、hile others may want to write something and record their readings.Thematerial can be submitted to the project organizers in Scotland via e-mailor post within 6 weeks of September 11th.All the material will then bemade into a feature-length film,which will capture that One Minute of ourexistence.The
24、film will explore the rich diversity that is both humanity andour world.It will allow a voice to all people regardless of nationality,religion,race,political viewpoint,gender or age.The rich diversity that isHumanity shall be there for all to see.Participants will not only be kept informed of the pr
25、ogress of thefilm and the release process but will be invited to actively participatethrough newsletters and discussion forums.When the film is finished,it will be shown in every country of theworld,both in cinemas and on TV.Contributors will be invited to attendthe premiere of the film in their res
26、pective countries and will receive a fullscreen credit on the finished production.Unit5PartBHow Our Memory WorksTry to imagine a life without a memory.It would be impossible.Youcouldnt use a language,because you wouldnt remember the words.Youcouldnt understand a film,because you need to hold the fir
27、st part of thestory in your mind in order to understand the later parts.You wouldnt beable to recognize anyone-even members of your own family.You wouldlive in a permanent present.You would have no past and you wouldnt beable to imagine a future.Human beings have amazing memories.Apart from all our
28、personalmemories about our own lives,we can recall between 20,000 and 100,000words in our own language as well as possibly thousands more in aforeign language.We have all sorts of information about different subjectssuch as history,science,and geography,and we have complex skills suchas driving a ca
29、r or playing a musical instrument.All these things andcountless others depend on our memory.How well you remember things depends on many different factors.Firstly,some people naturally have better memories than others,in just thesame way as some people are taller than others,or have different colore
30、yes.Some top chess players,for example,can remember every move ofevery game that they have ever seen or played.Secondly,research shows that different things are stored in differentparts of the brain.Ideas,words,and numbers are stored in the left-handside,while the right-hand side remembers images,so
31、unds,and smells.Inmost people one side of the brain is more developed than the other,andthis may explain why some people can remember peoples faces easily,butcant remember their names.Thirdly,we all remember exciting,frightening,or dramatic eventsmore easily.This is because these experiences produce
32、 chemicals such asadrenaline,which boost your memory.They say that anyone who is oldenough to remember knows exactly where they were on Tuesday,September 11,2001,when radio and TV programs around the world wereinterrupted with the shocking news that the twin towers of the WorldTrade Center in New Yo
33、rk were hit.Fourthly,the context in which you learn something can affect howwell you remember it.Tests on divers,for example,showed that whenthey learned things underwater,they could also remember those thingsbest when they were underwater.Lastly,the more often you recall a memory the more likely yo
34、u areto remember it.If you dont use it,youll lose it.A telephone number thatyou dial frequently will stay in your memory easily,but you will probablyhave to write down one that you use only now and again.PartCTechniques to Help Us Remember BetterWe all have problems remembering things,but there are
35、sometechniques that you can use to help you remember.First of all,remember the names and jobs of the people and wherethey come from.Here,the best thing is to imagine images of the peopleand the names that you want to remember.And you should try to think offunny images as they are easier to remember.
36、For example,we have Tomthe student from Australia.Well,for Tom you might imagine a tomato.Then Australia has a shape a bit like a dog.Now lets imagine its a veryclever dog and is studying.So imagine Toms face as a tomato and heswith a dog and the dog is reading a book.So now we have a picture ofTom
37、the student from Australia.Now lets take the numbers.The best thing to do here is to break alarge number up into smaller numbers and then think of things that thenumbers remind you of,such as a birthday,a particular year,the numberof a house.Or with a number like 747 you might think of a jumbo jet-a
38、Boeing 747.With the directions,the best thing is to imagine yourself followingthe directions.Create a picture in your mind of yourself going down thestreet.Count the turnings 1,2,.Then turn left.Now imagine going past asupermarket and a cinema and so on.When you have to remember lists of words,try t
39、o build them into astory.So with our words we might start with,The sun was shining,so Iwent for a walk.I saw a horse wearing trousers.It was kicking somebananas over a television.The bananas landed in a bag.And so on.Againthe funnier the story,the better.Try some of these techniques and youll be ama
40、zed at what you canremember.Unit6PartBThe Embarrassment of RichesThe meaning of wealth today is usually defined as the amount ofmoney and material goods that one has accumulated and the ability topurchase more goods at an ever-increasing rate.A wealthy personpossesses so much money that it would be
41、difficult for him to spend it allin his lifetime without being wasteful and extravagant.Speaking from a strictly practical point of view,the trouble withwealth is not that it arouses envy in the hearts of others but that it weighsvery heavily upon the resources of its owner.Those who have never tast
42、edluxury imagine that a new Porsche,a Picasso in the drawing room,anapartment in the Trump Tower,will bring them ease and happiness.If thatwere true,owners of the Porsches,Picassos,and Trumps of the worldwould all be happy souls.One glance at history tells you they are not.The problem is not simply
43、that owning goods feeds upon itself,generating desires to possess more and to outdo other owners in acompetitivemadness.Itsthatgoodsthemselvesareanendlessresponsibility.They must be not only paid for but also stored,insured,andpublicly admired.All of those cost not just money but personal freedom.As
44、 James Boswell,the famous British biographer,once wrote in his diary,If a man with a fortune cannot make himself easier and freer than thosewho are not,he gains nothing.Nothing except glittering baggage that mustbe attended to.In some Oriental countries poverty has never been such a disgraceas it is
45、 in the get-rich-quick zone.Wise men from these lands oftenremark on the tyranny of goods.According to an old Persian proverb,The larger a mans roof,the more snow it collects.And in his discussionof Houses,a Lebanese poet and philosopher compares the lust forcomfort to a stealthy thing that enters t
46、he house a guest,and thenbecomes a host,and then a master.The same sentiment is also expressed here in America by the greatphilosopher Ralph Emerson,who scorns the acquisitiveness of his daywith the famous line Things are in the saddle,and ride mankind.PartCPerspectivesOne day a father took his youn
47、g son on a trip to the country with thepurpose of showing him how poor people can be.They spent a day and anight on the farm of a very poor family.When they got back from theirtrip to their fine house the father asked his son,How was the trip?Very good,Dad!answered the son.Did you see how poor peopl
48、e can be?the father asked.Yeah!And what did you learn?the father asked,thinking he hadfulfilled his purpose.To his astonishment,the son answered,I saw that we have a dog athome,and they have four.We have a pool that reaches to the middle of thegarden,they have a creek that has no end.We have importe
49、d lamps in thegarden,they have the stars.Our patio reaches to the front yard,but theyhave a whole horizon.When the little boy finished,his father was speechless.Then his son added,Thanks,Dad,for showing me how poor weare!Isnt it true that whether you are rich or poor depends on thewayyou look at thi
50、ngs?If you have love,friends,family,health,good humorand a positive attitude toward life,youve got everything!You cant buyany of those things.You can have all the material possessions you canimagine,provisions for the future,etc.,but if you are poor of spirit,youhave nothing.Unit7Part BLast Gasp for
