Unit 1 Access to success
1、Long conversation
W: Thanks for meeting with me, Dr. Pearl. I need permission to drop your
class, Literature and Writing.
M: It's only the second week of class, Stacey, why are you giving up so
quickly? We've only written one essay so far, and you won't get your grade back until next Wednesday!
W: I know, sir. But as a third-year engineering student, I don't want to
risk lowering my grade point average by scoring poorly in a writing class!
M: OK ... What's worrying you?
W: I spent two weeks reading Great Expectations, and then it took me 10
hours to write the three-page essay. Well, engineering courses are easy but important, as we know. But a writing course ... I don't know. I'll just take a film class next semester, not hard at all – a two-paragraph review for each film. That will cover my humanities requirements.
M: OK Stacey, listen: In college, I was the opposite. Math was hard;
literature was easy. But later, when I opened my coffee shop, The Found Librarian, located on the 15th street, math helped me!
W: Wait! You own The Found Librarian? That's our favorite coffee place.
We get coffee and dessert there every week — and work on math homework.
M: Yeah, that's my shop. Stacey, let's reconsider. Success in life needs
a variety of skills. Humanities majors need math. Engineering majors need writing skills. This writing class will serve you well. Go to the University Writing Center and sign up for free tutoring. Then stop by my office each Friday at 11 a.m. and I'll work with you. Together you can succeed in becoming a strong writer. A good deal? W: Yes! Thank you, Dr. Pearl!
Q1: Why does Stacey come to Dr. Pearl's office? Q2: What is worrying Stacey about her studies?
Q3: Which of the following does Dr. Pearl suggest Stacey do? Q4: What is Dr. Pearl's attitude toward Stacey?

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It's so important to 1) believe in yourself. Believe that you can do anything under any 2) circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. That belief just keeps you 3) searching for success, and then pretty soon you can get it. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going, and how you are going to get there. It comes from 4) a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take 5) responsibility, rather than just let life happen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence does not equal self-importance. Self-importance is born out of fear and 6) insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and 7) integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it, and knowing that you are capable of 8) accomplishing anything you want.
Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort, commitment and self-confidence. If your life is not what you 9) are longing for, you have the power to change it, and you must make such changes on a moment by moment basis. Live with your goals and your plan of action, and live each moment with your 10) priorities in mind, then you will have the life you want.
Unit 2 Emotions speak louder than words
1、Long conversation W: Happy Friday Chris! Isn't that mountain beautiful today ... Gosh Chris,
are you OK? Are you crying? Did I say something?
M: No, it's fine, Sally. It's just that today is the one-year anniversary
of my father's death.
W: I'm so sorry. Today must be especially difficult.
M: I woke up this morning, looked out at Mount Rainier for 45 minutes
thinking about him. It was his favorite mountain, and from the time when I was seven years old until he died last year, every year, every year we would go hiking and camping together up that mountain at least three or four times. W: Wow. That's my favorite place too. I love all the blue and yellow flowers
that cover the slopes in early summer.
M: He loved those flowers too, and we had baskets and bunches of them at
the funeral.
W: That sounds really special. Those little details can be such a
comfort.
M: Yes, it was a reminder of our happiest memories together. Honestly,
I hope to die as peacefully as he did. We had just come home from a five-day hiking and camping trip in June. We had caught six fish for dinner and mom was preparing them in the kitchen. Dad sat down in his
favorite green chair and had a heart attack and died quickly and peacefully.
W: It's tough to lose someone you love, but it sounds like he had a great
life.
M: He certainly did. He was 78 when he died. A good life, though, a very
good life.
W: Chris, take the day off. Maybe go hiking on Mount Rainier. It's
beautiful weather. It might make you feel better to hike up the mountain.
M: Sally, you're a good boss and a good friend. Thanks.
Q1: How often did the man go hiking and camping with his father on Mount
Rainier every year?
Q2: Why is Mount Rainier so special to the man?
Q3: What happened to the man's father after a trip to the mountain? Q4: What is the relationship between the two speakers?

Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, 1) exerting an influence on one's outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That's 2) fabulous if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or lonely.
