establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on(S2)running the place.He tells the timid man,“If you ever hear that Big Johnis coming to town,(S3)drop everything and run for the h ills!Hes thebiggest,nastiest(S4)outlaw whos ever lived!A few weeks pass(S5)uneventfuHy.But one afternoon,a local cowhand comesrunning through town(S6)yelling,“Big John is coming!Run for your(S7)lives!When the bartender leaves the bar to start running,he is knocked to theground by several townspeople rushing out of town.(S8)As hes pickinghimself up,he sees a large man,almost seven feet tall.Hes muscular,and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door,orders the poor barkeep inside,and demands,Iwant a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar,splitting it in half.(S9)The

gets up to leave,“Do you want another beer?the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it,I dont have time!”the big man yells,(S10)“I got to get oulof town!Dont you hear Big John is coming?”Task3:A View of HappinessScriptDr.Smith has proposed a reasonable,if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies,viewof happiness.According to his theory,happiness might be described as astate if balance.And when human or certain animals achieve that balance,they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this,we may study two magnets.When their positive and negativepoles meet,they are comfortably joined,and they remain there.In otherwords,they have attained a balance or state of happiness.If on the otherhand,one of the poles is reversed,and positive pole is presses againstpositive pole,there is resistance,instability,imbalance a state ofunhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness inreinforcement.Once they have gained one or more of their goals such asfood,and water,they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfactionof those goals.This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balanceor sense of happiness.According to this theory,only animals with a significant capacity tolearn should be able to experience happiness.But in truth learning cantake place through surprisingly simple short-term action such asscratching an itch,followed by pleasure,followed by more scratching,and so on.Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings,blessed with the ability to reason,goals are not limitedto the short-term satisfaction of needs.Indeed,there is a strong linkbetween happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals.Even if humanstrive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals9goals,once those goals are gained,happiness is reinforced.1.W hy does the speaker mention“magnets”?2.According to the passage,what may animals do after they have got food?3.Which of the following is true according to the speaker?4.What does the speaker say is special about the goals of human beings?5.Which of the following best captures the main idea of the

I invite you to join me in an exploration off thecauses of depression.There ate many factors involved,but I believe somedeserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role.The tendency to develop depression maybe inherited;there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression.There may be changesor imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain calledneurotransmitters.Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increaselevels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication.While the causal relationship is unclear;it is known that antidepressantmedications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors.They include the complexdevelopment of ones personality and how one has learned to cope withexternal environmental factors,such as stress.It is freeqently observed thatlow self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression.While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect,it isknown that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinkingpatterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is ones early experiences.Events suchas the death of a parent,the divorce of the parents,neglect,chronicillness,and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood ofdepression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression.Job loss,financialdifficulties,long periods of unemployment,the loss of a spouse or otherfamily member,or other painful events may trigger depression.Long-termstress at home,work,or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering fromdepression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibilityof their also becoming depressed.Depression-causingFactorsProb lem DescriptionSolutionHeredityIt is inherited and run infamilies.Physiologychanges or

Listening and SpeakingTaskl:Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regard ed as the opposite of reason;s is suggested b yphrase such as,9 appeal to emotions rather than reason and d ont let youremotions take over”.Emotional reactions sometimes prod uce conseq uences orthoughts which people may later regret or d isagree with;b ut d uring anemotional state,they could not control their actions.Thus,it is generallyb elieved that one of the most d istinctive facts ab out human b eings is acontrad iction b etween emotion and reason.However,recent empirical stud ies d o not suggest there is a cleard istinction b etween reason and emotion.Ind eed,anger or fear can oftenb e thought of as an instinctive response to ob served fact.The human mindpossesses many possib le reactions to the external world.Those reactionscan lie on a continuum,with some of them involving the extreme of pureintellectual logic,which is often called cold”,and others involvingthe extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement,which iscalled “the heat of passion”.The relation logic and emotion merits carefulstud y.Passion,emotion,or feeling can reinforce an argument,event one b asedprimarily on reason.This is especially true in religion or id eology,whichfreq uently d emand s an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance.In such areasof thought,human b eings have to ad opt a comprehensive view partly b ackedb y empirical argument and partly b y feeling and passion.Moreover,severalresearchers have suggested that typically there is no pure”d ecision orthought;that is,no thought is b ased
