What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?PassageAll parents want to raise a happy, successful and loving child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramatically different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry himself to sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants* or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social. To them» their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method. None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be. But some things are certain -a child will be more likely to be loving if you show him love» more successful if you give him examples of success, and happier if you are happy.Q:1. What is this passage about?2. What do parents NOT agree upon?3. Why do parents have different methods for raising children?4. How will a father raise his child if he believes his child is naturally social?5. What can we be certain of?Supplementary Listening1. M: Hello? Yes, Um, can I get some help over here?W: Sure thing, handsome. WhatUl it be?M: A menu, please.W: We don't serve food -just the beers you see on the wall.M: All right .What about that one?

That'll be $6.25.M: Say, you're kinda friendly, wren't you?W: Suppose it comes with the job. It pays to be nice to people, don't you think?M: I suppose it does. That's what my mother said to me anyway. Oh, wait. Wait a second. Oh no. I can't believe this.W: What's wrong?M: I think I left my wallet somewhere.W: Quick, look around. It's gotta be around here. Maybe on the floor.M: No . it*s not there. I don't know where it could be. Any chance you can be nice and give the beer for free?W: No chance of that happening.

When is the woman friendly?2. It's difficult to know what is truly happening inside a relationship. Though a woman might appear to be happy, she may be a victim of violence. And though a man may appear to be gentle, he might not actually be. Every year estimates range from 3.4 million acts of violence against a wife or girlfriend to 3.9 million in this small country.This is bad news. Unfortunately, there is more. Nearly one-third of women reported being beaten by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Some of this violence resulted in injuries that required a doctor's care. Thirty-seven percent of women who sought emergency room treatment for violence-related injuries in 2005 were injured by their own husbands or boyfriends. What's more, twenty-six percent of all female murder victims in 2006 were killed by their partners.What this means is that we as a society must look for the signs of violence. Do you know someone who often gives poor excuses for being hurt? Maybe you should talk with her about violence. Often a woman will stay in a violent relationship because she believes her husband or boyfriend loves her. But she should know that violence does not equal love.Q:1. According to the passage, what is difficult?2. How many women are beaten by a husband or boyfriend per year?3. What can we infer from this passage?4. What percentage of female murder victims were killed by a partner in 2006?5. Why does a woman often choose to stay in a violent relationship?3. Who doesn't love being in love? A true love listens to talk about work, lets you have that last Dslice of pie, and (usually) remembers to take out the trash. He is ready to forget all kinds of 2)misunderslandings . And he always thinks you're 3)beautiful, even without makeup.Scientists have long been keen to prove that love gives us health 4)benefits too. Researchers can't say for sure that a lover is more important than a loving family or warm friendship when it comes to 5)wellness. But they are learning more about how a romantic partner makes us stronger, with health gains that 6)range from faster healing and better control over illnesses to living longer.The benefits of love are 7)explicit and measurable. A study last year from the University of Pittsburgh found that women in good marriages have a much lower risk of hear disease than those in high-stress relationship. The National Love and Health Study 8) has been tracking mo】e ihan a million subjects since 1979. The study shows that married people live longer,9)have fewer heart attack and lower cancer rates and even get pneumonia less frequently than singles. A new study from the University of Iowa also found that caner patients with 10)a strong sense of connection to others and in salisfying relationships were better able to fight off cancer. It seems that love helps people strengthen their immune systems.Unit 2Listening10 short conversations1. Wwow! You look great! What have you been doing to look so good?MI have been lifting weights.

Everyone knows you shouldn'l overwork yourself when you start exercising.W thanks for the concern. But tell Ma and Pa that I'll be fine with what I'm doing.Understanding a passageIt is very important to exercise. Many studies have shown that regular activity and exercise can improve overall health substantially. Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 35%, stroke by about 28%, certain cancers by 20% and more, and high blood pressure by an amazing 52%. Exercise can also help you to build healthy bones and muscles. Athletes must do physical training on a regular basis to increase their level of performance. Exercising includes walking, running, biking and plenty of other activities as well. My advice would be to pick something you enjoy doing and wouldn't mind pursuing on a regular basis. Then, you must stick to a schedule. You can even pick a few different activities to mix things up and keep it interesting. Also, always stretch before physical activity! This is very important as you do not want to pull muscles. Most importantly, to keep a healthy body you must stay ACTIVE!Unit 3 ways to win1 W: The president has decided that the current education system must be changed.M: Yeah.
