,. UNIT 5 Section One Tactics for listening Part 1 Sport Dictation Wind In the past we watched the wind closely. (1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) ones face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought. Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice. Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making - the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft under the (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves. Part 2 Listening for Gist Eleven years ago, a US Congressman from the state of Michigan introduced legislation asking Congress to study the issue of slavery reparations. Since then, the cities of Washington, Detroit, Cleveland, Dallas and now Chicago have called on Congress to consider such payments. Chicago aldermen voted 46-1 in support of the resolution. Alderman Freddrenna Lyle is the descendant of a slave. She says blacks in the United States are still at a disadvantage because of slavery. "Today, when I am down the street and cross the street and go to (the department store) Saks and people follow me through the store. It is because slavery has taught people to treat us differently based on skin color. It lives and breathes with us. It is with us every single day." Alderman Ed Smith says there is not enough money in the universe to compensate blacks for what they have suffered because of slavery, but he says it is time for the country to try. Exercise Directions: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide. 1) This passage is about slavery reparations. The key words are slavery reparation, payments, vote, resolution, descendant, disadvantage, skin color, compensate, blacks, suffer. Section two Listening Comprehension Part 1 Dialogue Cheapo Ticket Terri: Did you see that television series with Michael Palin? Simon: The one where he went around the world in eighty days? Terri: Yeah. Simon: Yeah, it was really good. You know, thats something Ive always wanted to do. Terri: Me too. Mind you, you have to put up with a lot of hassles *. I mean. I went to Hong Kong last year and it was one long disaster! Simon: Really? Terri: Yeah, I was stuck in Moscow for three days! Simon: How on earth did that happen? Terri: Well, it was like one of those bucket shop* tickets, you know, from the back of a magazine. I went down to this little place in central London, in Soho and paid cash. Simon: But theyre usually OK, arent they? Terri: Thats what I thought at the time. Now I know better! I mean the plane was delayed two hours leaving Heathrow and we were doing a stopover at Moscow. It was Aeroflot*. So we arrived late at Moscow, in the middle of the night, and we all went into the transit lounge and after about two hours this official came in and told us wed missed the connection to Hong Kong; wed have to stay the night in the airport hotel ... Simon: But why? Terri: The late departure from Heathrow apparently. Simon: So, what was the hotel like? Terri: Grim* ... more like a prison really. Anyway, the next morning I went down to reception and asked what was happening. Disaster! Theyd checked my ticket or something and decided it wasnt a proper Aeroflot one, only valid for the twice-a-week flight, not the daily flight. So I had to sit there and watch all the other passengers go off to catch the next plane to Hong Kong while I was stuck in this terrible hotel. Simon: Well, a good chance to explore Moscow. Terri: No way! I didnt have a Russian visa, of course, so they wouldnt let me out. I had to stay there for three days. The pits! No TV, no newspapers, no phone lines and the food was gross. All because I had this cheapo ticket, Simon: I guess you wont be buying cheap tickets again. Terri: Youre not wrong!

T Part 2 Passage Frozen Ethnic Foods 1） Two years ago, there were three freezers in the store that catered to people from the Indian subcontinent and now there are 55. 2） A few blocks away at the Pacific Supermarket, which specializes in Chinese and Thai food, frozen dinners fill two long aisles. 3） Other ethnic groceries are enjoying explosive growth in sales of frozen meals to immigrant and second-generation customers with less time, inclination or ability to cook the foods of their homeland. 4） By 2010, the Hispanic-American population in the United States is expected to grow 96 percent and the Asian-American population is expected to grow 110 percent. 5） Europe is ahead of the United States in terms of big companies but the trend could grow here. At Patel Brothers grocery, you can almost get lost these days in the frozen food section. Two years ago, there were three freezers in the store that catered to people from the Indian subcontinent in New Yorks Jackson Heights neighborhood. Now, there are 55, aisle after aisle crammed with inexpensive, ready-to-eat versions of chicken, chick peas (鹰嘴豆) and vegetable balls in sauces and spices. A few blocks away at the Pacific Supermarket, which specializes in Chinese and Thai food, frozen dinners fill two long aisles. Other ethnic groceries (食品杂货店), including those offering Mexican food, are enjoying explosive growth in sales of frozen meals to immigrant and second-generation customers with less time, inclination or ability to cook the foods of their homeland. Filling the frozen food racks are rapidly growing food companies, many of them local or regional, which find that serving ethnic shops is easier and more profitable than selling to grocery chains. As their profits increase, they are attracting the attention of major corporations. The market for ethnic frozen foods reached US$2.2 billion in 2001, according to the American Frozen Food Institute. The biggest market is for Italian food, totaling US$1.28 billion in 200 I, up 6.1 percent from 2000. The overall frozen food market also grew by 6.1 percent, totaling US$26.6 billion. But Mexican frozen food sales grew 20.6 percent to US$488 million. Asian frozen entrees, which include Chinese, Thai and Indian, were up 12.3 percent, totaling US$463 million. The steady growth in popularity of ethnic frozen foods is partly a result of changing demographics* - by 2010, the Hispanic-American population in the United States is expected to grow 96 percent and the Asian-American population is expected to grow 110 percent. But other Americans are also enjoying dishes once considered exotic. The busy lives of many people help sales ..

Cuisine in China is a harmonious integration of color, redolence, taste, shape and the fineness of the instruments. Among the many cooking methods they use are boiling, stewing, braising, frying, steaming, crisping, baking, and simmering and so on.
