W: I was in my office. I was talking on the telephone to someone in another company. Then I smelt something burning, so I said to myself, “Someone's left something cooking in the kitchen. ”You see, there is a small kitchen on the same floor as my office and people go in there to warm up their lunch and make coffee. M: What did you do then? W: I went to see if it was a real fire. There were flames coming out of the ceiling. I quickly went back to my desk to collect my bag, which had in it my house keys, my car keys, and quite a lot of money, as I had been to the bank earlier that morning. It was a Friday, you see, and we were going away for the weekend. M: How did you escape? W: I went to the stairs. It was already beginning to fill with smoke. I pulled my sweater over my head and went down the stairs. I got outside the building, but I didn't stop .I went on walking until I got to the end of the street. I had an idea it was going to be a big fire. M: How do you feel about the fire now? W: I was very surprised at how fast the fire started. One moment we were all working busily at our desks, the next moment there were flames and smoke everywhere. I think I was very lucky to get out alive . Part 2 Six friends are having a discussion about smoking. 1 I don't smoke a lot, just when I'm studying. I think it helps me study better. 2 I don't see what's wrong with smoking. I think people are wrong when they say that smoking is dangerous. My grandpa has smoked thirty cigarettes a day and he's 83 years old. 3 I don't like people who smoke, their hair smells, their clothes smell, and when they smoke in your house the room smells of smoke for days. 4 I enjoy smoking. I like the taste of a cigarette after a meal. It's a simple pleasure, that's all. 5 People think it's clever to smoke, but I don't. It's expensive, it's dirty and it's not healthy. 6 My mother died from smoking. It was a terrible time. She was in hospital for two months and the doctors couldn't do anything to save her. I shall never smoke myself. Part 3 David: What's it like living in England, Terry? Terry: Well. I'm having a great time, Hut I guess I sometimes have a little difficulty understanding what people are saying. David: Can you explain a bit more? Do you have some trouble with our pronunciation? Terry : No, but you use a lot of different words over here that I don't understand. David: Can you give an example? Terry: A woman said she would ring me the next day. David: What's strange about that? Terry: Well, we say, “I'll call you tomorrow. ” David: Now that sounds funny to me. Terry: There is another thing. In the States, people stand closer to each other than English people. For example, if fm talking to English people at a party, I find that they stand quite along way away from me. David: Anything else? Terry: Well, yes. It's clear to me that English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in the States touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. And we often put an arm around a friend when we say “ Hello” or “Goodbye”, so I have to remember not to touch people when I'm in England. David: What else? Terry: You drive on the left and we drive on the right. I almost got killed on the street the other day. I wanted to cross the street so I stopped. I looked w the left and started to cross. There was a car coming from my right. Luckily, it stand didn't hit me. |

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(鐵飯碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be
a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
【小題1】Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
| A．they will lose their jobs |
| B．most of them find less interest in their work |
| C．they can make more money after work. |
| D．they want to stay at home. |
| A．Where there is work there is pressure. |
| B．Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden. |
| C．All modern men are worried and low in spirit. |
| D．A certain amount of pressure is necessary. |
| A．we should drink coffee with our friends |
B． we can get help and comfort from our friends or families. |
| C．we can go home because it is warm |
| D．to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way. |

It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
【小題1】The text is mainly about kids’ _________
| A．cell phone use | B．various hobbies |
| C．favorite video games | D．using electronic devices |
| A．Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message. |
| B．Olson is against teenagers’ using mobile phones. |
| C．many teenagers lack friends in their middle school |
| D．kids have too many electronic devices to choose from |
| A．Watching TV while using the computer |
| B．Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa. |
| C．Playing video games after having lunch. |
| D．Listening to loud music while relaxing. |
| A．in order | B．in store | C．in sight | D．in control |
| A．do homework while watching TV |
| B．do homework in a place without disturbance |
| C．spend more time on homework |
| D．have less homework |

Editor’s notes: AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials． Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English, so here we introduce two texts that aim to improve spoken English fluency．

Speak Up（Pre-Intermediate)

“Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own．” How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners? Students at all levels want to talk about culture．
Topics include food, shopping, sports, fashion, the roles of men and women, health, music, and many more．
These are all chosen from surveys of over 15,000 students about their own interests in cross-cultural communication．
“Let’s Speak” and “Speak Up” share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in．
The series has questions which start thinking and then help collect opinions about personal topics． Conversation practice is provided by ready to use （現(xiàn)成的)models of basic exchanges on the topic． Also, the cultural information presented in the series comes in the form of interesting, relevant（相關(guān)的）facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises．
Team activities in books provide lively problem solving games to enable sharing and comparison of cultural values．
“Let’s Speak” is fit for entry level students of all ages． “Speak Up” provides for the needs of higher level beginners, offering the same careful listening and speaking help, but with slightly more open ended discussion．
