Part II- A A2 1. similar social backgrounds. 2. the same race or same ethnic background. 3. the same religion. A3 Japan / 9.2% / arranged marriages 3% / between blacks and whites Many people in Western cultures choose their own wives and husbands. In many other countries, spouse are often chosen by the parents. In China and Japan before this century (20th century), upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the Middle East, Asia, and pre-industrial Europe, the man's family negotiated a &bride price& with the woman' the man's family was expected to pay it. In Hindu India, the bride's family paid a &groom's price& to the family of the man. These cfor intance, only 9.2 percent of Japanese1marriages are now arranged. What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love--are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words, the man and the woman come from the same social class (or else a class that is only slightly higher or slight lower). Among many people in Egypt, key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward. Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U.S,. Where there are many different races, only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites, meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage. In many countries, marriage is also based on the woman and man havi this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In culture in which religion is very strong value, marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences. Part II - B 1. 2. what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance 3. the high percentage of divorces. 4. falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebody Script: What do you think it is that attracts people to each other, that makes people want to be together? I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it's the physical appearance that attracts. I think unless you find somebody attractive, unless there's something about them-it could only perhaps be the way they smile or they laugh, or a twinkle in their eye, or the way of a curl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make you interested enough to find out more about that person, unless that's there I think you just don't bother. So initially physical attraction I think is all important. Why do you say &unfortunately&? Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important. You should be able to look beyond he physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is, whether they are selfish or selfless, whether they are kind, caring. But I think initially you are not bothered with that. That come perhaps later. In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and son on, the idea of falling love in s always emphasized, so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you2think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist? Yes, I do. In fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorce--it's a third I think now, isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it, the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs, by all the love stores, by the Barbara Cartland novels, etc. , that young people read. Really, you meet someone, you fall in love, and that's it., it's the beginning, they live happily even after. And I think that's the problem, because people just expect that, and it's not like that. So what is it, do you think, that really sustains a relationship, that keeps a relationship going? Well, I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody, which I see as more superficial, and loving somebody, which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction, being attracted to somebody physically, having fun together, whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows, it comes with shared experiences, perhaps enjoying doing the same things together, shared hobbies, shared interests, suffering together as well, going through the bad times, helping each other, supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow, and I'd call that love, and I think that's what makes a relationship last. Part II - C one of the biggest decisions they will make in life, as the &just-right& wife for him, definition of what the &just-right&wife is, the millionaire man and the poor man , her physical qualities, different words, by her physical qualities, in two different atmospheres, also have their definition of the &just-right& wife, the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's. Script:Part III A baseball diamond A wine bar A fancy-dress party Outside a cinema A boat/ the river bankfrizzly hair / glasses/ funny/ monologue pizza the man dressed as Cheshire Cat coincidence/ he'd also missed the film fell in river/ he dived in and rescued her3Script: Kate: I was on my way home from junior high and in order to get to my house you have to walk by this baseball diamond. And there was a game of baseball going on and it looked kind of interesting, so I stopped. There weren't very many people watching. And there was this guy and he wasn't really very good-looking, but he had frizzly hair and glasses and he was really funny. He did this kind of monologue thing, which war great. And I went home and I told my mother I was going to marry him after talking to him for half an hour. And when I got to high school, he was president of the student body and he asked me out and...we've got our picture in the yearbook together holding hands, and it's really nice. Ke: Well, I'd arranged to have a drink with a friend of mine, a woman friend of mine who's a platonic friend of mine. And she insisted on bringing this friend of hers who she said I'd like to meet and I thought she was trying to fix us up and I said, &Please don't!& But she did bring this friend and we hit it off. And after the wine bar we went to have a pizza and we all had a few more drinks and the other woman who ended up ordering a pizza that had a bunch of stuff on it that she really liked, so we picked at each other's pizzas all night and we realized that we were sort of had an ideal relationship, so that we could order really any pizza on the menu and we'd both be happy. And anyway we ended up living together and still are. Coralyn: We met at a party and it was fancy-dress party. A friend of mine's twenty-first and it was quite big and I went dressed as Alice in Wonderland and this person, this guy that I married was dressed as the Cheshire Cat. And it just seemed so amazing that, you know, we were both from the same thing and we started chatting and ended up being together. Jill: I'd arranged to go to the cinema with a group of friends and unfortunately I missed the train that would have got me to standing outside--the film had started. So I wasn't allowed in. And there was a chap outside, he'd also missed the film and we started to talk and we talked quite a bit and he said,&Let's go down the road and see that film, because that one hasn't started at the Odeon.& So we went down there and we've been going out ever since! Carole: I first met my partner when he was on a boat and I was on the river bank, standing and looking generally into the distance and he was coming in to land with his boat and he threw me a rope and said,&Would you mind catching this?& and I caught it and missed and tripped over it and fell in the river and he had to dive in and rescue me. And that was it! Part IV Book, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admire4Script: John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally come for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00p.m. At the Grand Hotel Station in New York. &You will recognize me,&she wrote, &by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel.& So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr Blanchard tell you what happened. A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. & Going my way, sailor?& she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Holllis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was waking quickly away. I felt as thought I was split into two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love.5Unit 3 Travelling from Place to Place Part one Warming up A:Here are some announcements broadcast at some airports.

Sometimes the meanings are different in different cultures. Listen to the following dialogues and look at the pictures below. If it is not a proper gift in a certain country for an ordinary friend, cross out(×) the picture and check(√) the correct reason why it is not a proper gift. Tapescript: 1. Argentina Woman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you should never give clothing unless you know the person really well? Man: Don't give clothing? Why not? them. Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal.., just uncomfortable. What should you bring? Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for thc house. 2. Switzerland Man: We're meeting Mr Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should bring flowers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses. Woman: You don't want to bring roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of love and romance. Man: Oh, I didn't know that. Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better. 3. Italy Woman: I'd like some flowers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess. Man: Ma'am, I don't think you should give ten flowers. In Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, and so on -- are bad luck. Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine flowers then. 4. Japan Woman: May I help you? Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them. Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift. Woman: Clothing- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give22Man:Oh,that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... andbigger sets with four pens.

I'll take the pen andpencil set. language! Man: Greet Uh... yeah. Right. traditional friends B: Key words: There are many ways in the world to greet people. Listen to a few examples of greetings from some countries. Choose correct answers for each greeting. Tapescript: 1. A bow Around the world, there are many different ways to greet people. Bowing is the traditional way of greeting in Northeast Asian countries like Korea and Japan. This picture, for example, shows how Japanese women bow. In Japan, when you bow, you don't look directly at the other person's eyes. But in Korea it's important to see the other person's face when you bow. In both countries, people bow to show respect. 2. A hag When good friends meet in Russia, they often hug each other. This is true for both women and men. Russia isn't the only place where friends hug. In Brazil, for example, friends also hug each other in greeting. In Brazil, the hug is called an abraco. 3. A strong, short handshake You know how to shake hands. This is common in many countries. But it isn't always done the same way. In the United States and Canada, for example, people usually give a strong, short handshake. It's short but rather firm. 4. A softer, longer handshake In many other countries, people also shake hands. But they do it differently from in the U.S. and Canada. In Mexico and in Egypt, for example, many people -especially men C shake hands. Mexican and Egyptian handshakes usually last a little longer. The handshake is softer -- not as strong.

Supply the missing information. Tapescript: 1. Museums have changed. They are no longer places for theprivileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. 2. More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. 3. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science. A2: Now listen to the whole passage. While listening, pay special attention to the specific museums mentioned in the passage. Complete the following chart with key words. Museums Canada The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 17th century instruments/ music NYC The Modern Museum in Sweden American museum of Put on costumes/ the Stockholm Opera Natural Bone-by-bone stegosaurus reproduction/ History, NYC Tapescript: Museums have changed. They are no longer places for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. At a science museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music. At the Modern Museum in Sweden, you can put on costumes provided by the Stockholm Opera. At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently, you could have helped make a bone-by-bone reproduction of the museum's stegosaurus, a beast that lived 200 million years ago. As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor, and the less educated members of the population. As26Museum activitiesA science museum in Ontario, electricity/ pass/ bodya result, attendance is increasing. Many museums have changed in appearance. Some of the old, gray museums have been rebuilt, and the newer ones are open and modern in their architecture. Inside, there is modern lighting, color, and sound. Instead of displaying everything they own, museum directors show fewer objects and leave open spaces where visitors can gather and sit down. They also bring together in one display a group of objects drawn from various parts of the museum in an effort to represent the whole lifestyle of a region or a historical period. In one room, for instance, you may find materials, clothing, tools, cooking pots, furniture, and art works of a particular place and time. More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer. He can experiment with glass blowing and papermaking. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science. The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage. Many museums now provide educational services and children's departments. In addition to the usual displays, they also offer film showings and dance programs. Instead of being places that one Dshould‖ visit, they are places to enjoy. B: Key words: Amusing confuse understand French canoe Now listen to two short stories.

I was in france on holiday, staying in a friend’s cottage and one day we decided to go for a trip on the river. So we went along to a place on the river where you could hire canoes. And a friend , who prided himself on being rather good at speaking27French, went in to hire the canoes. We decided we needed three, so he asked for‖trois canneurs‖ which he thought was the French for Dthree canoes.‖ W we spent the af we came back.
