Which parts of the woman's face were severely injured by her dog" (b) a. Her eyes, cheeks, and lips. b. Her lips, chin, and nose. c. Her ears, nose, and forehead. d. Her nose, mouth, and ears.2) Now listen to the report again and choose the best answer to the following question.Why won't some doctors perform a face transplant" (d) a. They might lose their job if they did. b. It's cruel to cut tissue off another person. c. A face is an important part of a person's identity. d. There are medical and moral issues.Notes 1. brain-dead: The brain of a person who is brain-dead has completely ceased functioning, as evidenced by absence of brain activity on an electroencephalogram for a specific length of time. Brain death is sometimes used as a legal definition of death. The significant point is that the brain is no longer capable of sustaining the rest of the body's systems without artificial life support.2. Le Parisien: 巴黎人。A French daily newspaper covering both international and national news, and local news of Paris and its suburbs. It is the best-selling national newspaper in France.Transcript Doctors in France have carried out the first partial face transplant. They took the nose, lips, and chin from a woman who was declared brain-dead and used them to repair the face of another woman. The thirty-eight-year-old French woman who received the tissue had been severely injured in the face by her dog. Last week the newspaper Le Parisien published a few comments that it said she made by telephone from her hospital bed. The woman, identified only as Isabelle D., said she was "doing very well." She asked that the media leave her and her family in peace. There were still questions, however, about how the woman came to be injured by her dog earlier this year. Some news reports have said she tried to kill herself with sleeping pills. There have been suggestions that her Labrador retriever was just trying to wake her. Her doctors have said repeatedly that she did not try to kill herself. The dog was put to death. Medical progress has made it possible for several years now for doctors to transplant faces. But this is the first time they have performed the operation on a living patient. Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States had been expected to perform the first operation. Many doctors, however, say they will not perform a face transplant. There are medical and moral issues. Medical experts note that a person does not need a face to survive. Many people wonder how patients would react when they see someone else's face on their body. A face is an important part of a person's identity.Item 21) Listen to the report and choose the best answer to the following question. Which of the following is the most serious example of plagiarism" (c) a. Stealing another person's words as your own. b. Cheating in an examination. c. Buying a whole paper from someone. d. Copying sentences from a book without giving credit.2) Now listen to the report again and choose the best answer to the following question.Which of the following punishments for plagiarism is NOT mentioned" (a) a. Being expelled from school forever. b. Being given a failing grade on the paper or in the course. c. Being taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. d. Having the student's degree withdrawn.Notes 1. T: An Internet-based plagiarism-detection service created by iParadigms, LLC. Institutions, typically universities and high schools, buy licenses to submit essays to the Turnitin website, which checks the documents for plagiarism.2. civil court: The court involved in the area of law relating to the affairs of private citizens rather than crime, in contrast to criminal court.Transcript Plagiarism is the act of representing another person's words or ideas as your own. The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copied or bought from somebody else. Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other people's work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism. Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passages that are similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services are widely used. T, for example, says it is used in more than one hundred countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day. Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the course. Some schools expel plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.Item 31) Listen to the report and choose the best answer to the following question. Which of the following about the shocking news is NOT true" (a) a. Emperors Club VIP operated in six big cities in the USA. b. The governor spent tens of thousands of dollars on sex services. c. The governor has resigned. d. The governor had impressed the public as a crime fighter.2) Now listen to the report again and choose the best answer to the following question.What will the governor most probably be charged with, according to legal experts" (c) a. Paying for a high-priced sex service as Client Nine. b. Operating Emperors Club VIP in many cities. c. Moving large amounts of money from two banks for sex services. d. Bringing a 22-year-old woman into a hotel in New York for immoral purposes.Transcript This week, America's attention was directed away from a tight presidential race and troubled economy. The nation watched the fall from power of a politician widely considered a hero. The news of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's use of prostitutes shocked many because of his image as an aggressive crime fighter. He resigned Wednesday, two days after reports linked him to a high-priced sex service. Last week, the government charged four people with operating Emperors Club VIP. Court papers say it operated in Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Washington, as well as London and Paris. Federal law enforcement officials say the governor was known as Client Nine and was recorded on telephone wiretaps. They say he paid to have a twenty-two-year-old woman travel from New York to meet him at a Washington hotel last month. A century-old law, the Mann Act, makes it a federal crime to bring people across state lines for immoral purposes. But if Eliot Spitzer faces any charges, legal experts say they would more likely involve how the services were paid for, not the services themselves. Federal officials say they began investigating him after two banks last year reported suspicious activity in the way he was moving large amounts of money around. That investigation, they say, led them to the Emperors Club, where reports say he may have spent tens of thousands of dollars.Notes 1. Eliot Spitzer: The Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal began on March 10, 2008, when The New York Times reported that Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized a prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP. This ultimately led him to announce his resignation as governor on March 12, effective March 17.2. the Mann Act: 曼恩法案。A United States law which prohibits white slavery (拐賣婦女為娼) and the interstate transport of females for "immoral purposes." Its primary stated intent was to address prostitution, immorality, and human trafficking. The most common use of the Mann Act was to prosecute men for having sex with underage women.

One person acts as a tutor, and the other a pupil. You're in conflict. The dialogue should include three parts: the cause, the process, and the resolution. You may refer to the following outline:1. The spoiled pupil feels so tired of the tutor's requirements that he / she begins to play with his / her new mp4 player;2. The tutor takes the player away from the pupil;3. The annoyed pupil starts calling the tutor names;4. The tutor, by taking himself / herself as an example, impresses the pupil;5. The pupil expresses his / her desire to follow the tutor's example.Reference answer： Tutor: Now we go on with the questions on the text. Are you following me" Oh, playing with your mp4 player" What's the game" Let me show you how to win the game.Pupil: Can you" You're talking big. Show me your skill then.Tutor: OK, I'll keep the player for you till the lesson is over. Then I'll show you.Pupil: You're a liar, a big liar. You cheated me!Tutor: It was not cheating. I will show you, but only after we've finished the lesson.Pupil: You're from the country, aren't you"Tutor: Yes"Pupil: Then you are poor, I suppose"Tutor: So what"Pupil: I don't have to do what you say. You're nothing but a poor girl from the country.Tutor: Stop being so rude and do just as you are instructed to, and no more nonsense!Pupil: Country girl. Poor student. Country girl. Poor student.Tutor: That's enough! Be silent! You will obey me, whether you want to or not. You will not speak disrespectfully or raise your voice in front of me.

I've worked through college with straight A's in all my courses and next term I'll be on my way to an American university for studies with a scholarship. You're a city boy, but that won't make any difference if you prefer to play rather than study. Your parents can't guarantee your future and your future is what you make it. That's why I don't allow you to play when you're having lessons. Do you understand"Pupil: Yes. But why are you taking the trouble to tell me all this"Tutor: Because I like you. I consider you my little friend, though too young and sometimes too naughty to be a good student.Pupil: Do you believe I can do as well as you when I grow up"Tutor: Sure, if only you believe in me and yourself.Pupil: I do. Thank you, Miss.Part Supplementary tasks A. Dubbing B. Story dictationListen to a story and fill in the missing words. The story will be read three times. The first and the third times it will be read at normal speed, and the second time there will be a 10-second pause for each missing part. Now listen to the story: The mayor of Norton Town, 35-year-old Bill Jackson, (1)(was charged with hit-and-run driving last night) by the town sheriff. A freshly killed calf was discovered lying in the middle of Arlington Drive at about 10:00 p.m. A witness, 20-year-old Emily Parker, said she saw the car hit the calf and keep going. She didn't see the driver but she said, "I know that's the mayor's car. (2)(It's the only car in town with bullhorns on the hood)." Asked how she could see the bullhorns at night, she replied, "Oh, the mayor has neon horns. They're really cool-looking." The sheriff drove over to the mayor's house and found the mayor washing his 1972 Cadillac. He asked (3)(why the mayor was washing his car so late at night). "Because that's when there's no hot sun that causes the car to dry so fast that you have sun streaks. Don't you know anything, Sheriff" The sheriff pointed out that one of the horns was broken at the tip. "When did that happen" he asked. "When did what happen" Bill asked. "Oh, good grief! I never even noticed that! Do you know how expensive these horns are" They don't grow on trees, you know. (4)(I wonder if I can find the missing piece and fix it back on)." The sheriff then showed the mayor the tip of a bullhorn. "Do you think this is the missing piece" The mayor was astounded. He looked at it, turned it over in his hands, and then placed it on the horn, where it fit perfectly. "That's fantastic, sheriff! Thank you so much! Where did you find it" "Where did I find it" It was next to Farmer Brown's calf that you killed back there about an hour ago." The mayor's mouth dropped open. "Calf! What calf" What are you talking about" I had no idea. I thought I hit a speed bump. (5)(What was his calf doing out there in the middle of the road in the middle of the night)" OK, we'll settle this in court. I'm an innocent man. By the way, get that calf over to Lester's butcher shop right now. We're having a big barbecue tomorrow at the city hall. And don't forget to invite Farmer Brown. I know he'll forgive me after he tastes Lester's world-famous rib eye.". v
