M: Wow Jenna, you’re great at presenting ideas to professors. They agree to your ideas, even silly ones like that “international pizza party” last October. How do you do it?W: Charming, I guess.M: No really, teach me!W: Alright Mark, I learned long ago that to be convincing, there are some rules. First, keep your ideas simple.M: Simple? How about when you convinced Professor Consuela to take the whole Spanish class out for Mexican food? How was that simple? All of the paperwork, organizing the cars and the money…W: The whole process doesn’t have to be simple, just the first idea, the inspiration. I reminded Professor Consuela how important food is in understanding foreign culture. So, that’s step one, the idea. Step two is knowing your audience.M: So you wouldn’t try that international food idea with Dr. Francois then?W: Oh no, Dr. Francois has no interest in food. He’s your physics professor, right?M: Yes, and the class is so boring! We’re talking about air resistance and gravity right now and I’ve fallen asleep at least two times a week for the past month!W: Class may be boring, but I know Dr. Francois is interested in Grand Prix racing and the design of cars. You could suggest the idea of a class trip to the next Grand Prix race in April.M: Oh, OK,great idea!W: The final step is appealing to emotions. Professors want to engage with their students, want students to love the subjects they love—so ideas around that…M: Hmmm…I have a poster of a red race car in a Grand Prix race he might like.

If fashion magazines are to be believed, then the new trend hitting the world's catwalk isn't what the models are wearing but the models themselves. New York, London, Milan and Paris all showed their fair share of Asian models at the spring/summer shows this year. The China Final of Elite Model Look 2009 was held in Paris for the first time, showing the growing trend of Asian models in the mainly white fashion world. The director of Elite Model Management in Paris says it's the inevitable result of China's growing power. Gerald Marie, Director of Elite Model Management, said, "I think this is going to increase and it was zero before. But it's true that it went real fast, as fast as the Chinese economy is going, so it means super fast." One promising model gave her opinion on the difference between models from the East and the West. Liu Ying, a model, said, "I think our beauty is more modest, more gentle and the Western way for beauty is more passionate, more open. This is different." However, not all are in agreement. Some have doubted the trend, saying it's a return to "foreign" looks and not necessarily a renewed Asian interest. But with all things changing, nothing lasts forever.Glossary：catwalk: （模特儿走的）伸展台elite: 精英1.What's the new trend hitting the world's catwalk?A) The models' new clothing fashion.B) The growing of models.C) The growing of fashion magazines.D) The growing of Asian models.2.According to Gerald Marie's opinion, what is the reason of the new trend?A) China's growing power.B) The increase of Asian models.C) Successful model management.D) The uniqueness of Asian models.3.Which of the following is different from most people's opinions on the new trend?A) The new trend hitting the world's catwalk is the models themselves.B) The growing trend is as fast as the Chinese economy.C) Chinese models are more modest and gentle than western models.D) The new trend is a return to foreign looks and not an interest in Asia.

[听力文本资源] Ice caps and iceburgs are melting. Ocean levels are rising. Whatever is causing it, there's no longer any way to deny that global warming is for real. And it's by now well known that rising temperatures could have all sorts of environmental consequences. What's less well known is that global warming could have serious effects on global health, too. For example, warming could change patterns of infection, enabling diseases to spread outside their normally tropical zones. Rising temperatures could also cause heat waves resulting in thousands of deaths. Other possible effects are less direct.There's evidence that hotter conditions could harm crop yields, resulting in less grain and higher food prices. As demand increases in places like China and India, food shortages could lead to increased hunger and even famine. People living in the world's poorest areas would suffer the most. Finally, rising sea levels and water shortage caused by global warming could result in large migrations. And masses of people moving to the interior from the coast, or from rural to crowded urban areas, raises the risk for disease occurences of all sorts. Now our planet is warming. And the evidence is increasing that, concerning global health, serious problems might be on the way.[听力文本资源]1. [听力文本资源] What is the purpose of the passage?

[听力文本资源] A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease. Researchers used information from the Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948. The study gathers information about physical and mental health, personal behavior and diet. At first, the study involved about 5,000 people in the American state of Massachusetts. Now, more than 12,000 individuals are taking part. Information from the study showed earlier that happiness can spread from person to person. So can behaviors like loneliness and the ability to stop smoking. University of Chicago psychologist John led the recent study. He and other researchers attempted to show how often people felt lonely. They found that the feeling of loneliness spread through social groups. Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely. In fact, a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was 25% more likely. The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone's loneliness. The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that loneliness spread more easily among women than men. Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it.[听力文本资源]1.
