2、home and abroad,and talk about why you tend to use some communication channels rather than others.Warm-upFacebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles,upload photos and videos,send messages and keep in touch with friends,family and colleagues.Ac

3、cording to statistics from the Nielsen Group,Internet users within the United States spend more time on Facebook than any other website.Twitter is a free microblogging service that allows registered members to broadcast short posts called tweets.Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follow other

4、users tweets by using multiple platforms and devices.Reference answersWarm-upWikipedia is a free,open content online encyclopedia created through the collaborative effort of a community of users known as Wikipedians.Anyone registered on the site can create an article for publication;registration is

6、nswersWarm-upBesides the above-mentioned communications channels,we have QQ,Microblog,WeChat,etc.The first one I used is QQ,because it first came into existence.The biggest advantage of it is that it enables me to send large attachments.I still use it now when I am in front of the computer.I also us

7、e Microblog,but I use it less often now,because not many people use it now.This implies ones choice of communications channels is affected by others.Its main function,I think,is like a diary,which is a record of what I do,and what I think.It is also focused on current social events.Reference answers

8、Warm-upWhat I use the most often now is WeChat.It is a mobile text and voice messaging communication service developed by Tencent in China,first released in January 2011.It is the largest standalone messaging app by monthly active users.It is the newest app among the three,but probably has the most

9、users now.WeChat provides text messaging,hold-to-talk voice messaging,broadcast(one-to-many)messaging,sharing of photographs and videos,and location sharing.Photographs may also be embellished with filters and captions,and a machine translation service is available.So I use it to send text messages,

10、voices,photos both for fun and for work.Reference answersWarm-up2 Work in groups.Each of you introduces one of yourfavorite apps.You may refer to the following points.name function intended users popularity how to use it room for improvementsWarm-upI like to use many apps,such as Kuwo Music(酷我音乐),Me

11、ituxiuxiu(美图秀秀),Dazhongdianping(大众点评),and Tushubiji(涂书笔记).Many others must know the former three.So I will introduce the last one,Tushubiji.The name is interesting,because it reads like Dushubiji,which means that one takes notes while reading.But the first word in this app is“tu”,which means“daub”:t

12、o highlight,or include a certain area of the photo you have just taken of a book page.Its main function is to convert the printed words in a book into electronic version.It is intended for those who often read books,and who are relatively more high-tech such as teachers and students.It works very ea

13、sily.First,you download it to your smartphone,and then log in it.But you have to register,or use your sina Microblogusername if you already have one.Reference answersWarm-upYou open the app,take a photo of the few lines of a book page that you want to record,and then daub the part you want with your

14、 finger,press the tick()icon.Miraculously,you will see that the part of the photo you daubed just now has transformed into Chinese characters in a word the book is in Chinese.If the book is in English,you just need to press“English”,then the photo will be transformed into English words.Then press“ne

15、xt step”and“finish”to save the note.You may edit,and share the note if you like.The drawback is that the area you may scan and record is relatively small,may be just half a page.But its better than none.It is a very new app,and I hope it will be improved as time goes on.Reference answersWarm-up2 Lis

23、nment and education tool for children.When I was a kid,my parents were busy at work,so I spent most of my leisure time in front of TV.Reports have indicated that many families in the US have their TV on an average of six hours per day and the average child in fact,views 1,500 hours of television per

24、 year compared to spending only 900 hours per year in school.In this case,the programming of TV proves even more important.I benefited much from TV programs.What is mass media?ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingI enjoyed watching programs such as CCTV news,quiz shows,cartoons,and sports progra

25、ms.These programs are both educational and fun.They are a good source of knowledge and pleasure.For example,I especially like an annual CCTV program called“Touching the Heart of China”.From these heroic,devoted and unselfish people,I purified my soul,and learned to be a better person.From Animal Wor

26、ld,I got to know the taxonomies of animals such as amphibians,birds,fish,mammals,reptiles,and invertebrates.I also learned that wolves are highly adaptable animals and can live in a variety of habitats as long as sufficient prey is available.Wolves can benefit natural plant and animal communities in

30、 part of mainstream culture.The talk you are going to hear is about how it affects our daily life,personality and behavior.Listen to the talk twice and note down the keywords of the negative and positive aspects of using social media,and relevant information of a study by Pew Research Center.Listeni

36、our understanding of this topic.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engaged I agree with the statement.Online users may have no clue as to their relative status,and norms for interaction are not clear,so people tend to become more arrogant,self-centered a

37、nd less inhibited.This will bring about hostile language and creates a toxic climate which harms the healthy growth of relation on the Internet.Since online communication is not face to face,the users may not know each other.They will thus become more selfish,rude and uncaring.They act as if they ar

39、cial media users are happier and more engaged It is true that most people are busy with posting what they have eaten,where they have been to,what they have bought,etc.The social media have been reduced to a platform where narcissistic people show off.What they have posted cannot arouse general publi

40、cs interest.Their main focus is on themselves,instead of the common issues people are concerned with.The social media,as the name indicates,should have a higher aim,that is,it should focus on the social issues,and play a more active role in improving the society,instead of a place for those with a b

41、ig ego to brag about themselves.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engaged I dont agree with the statement.First we need to define what self-centered means in this context.My understanding is that it means people tend to focus on the things that are rela

42、ted to themselves.It does not mean“selfish”,“narcissistic”,or“big ego”.If my understanding is right,there is nothing wrong with a bit beingself-centered.Our life is already full of all manner of stress;social media provides us with an opportunity or outlet to share our feelings or relieve our pressu

43、re.Thus for some people,this sort of social media serves as a diary.They record how they feel,what they do,etc.with Microblog or WeChat.It is not the obligation of social media to take others concerns into consideration.If you do care about social events,you can veryListeningandSpeakingThinking and

44、speakingSocial media users are happier and more engagedwell use this platform to show your concern and viewpoints.But if I am not interested,I am not obliged to do this.I have my own right to decide what to say and what to post if I am not hurting others.Ifyou are not interested in my posts,you can

45、simply ignore them.Why should I be labeled as“self-centered”in a negative sense?The fact that social media can be used for other civic and political activities does not mean it has to be like this.The main function of social media for an individual is to keep in touch with other people and voice out
