【正文】 D A A Cl Let’s TalkWhen I first met my parents, I was really shy, and I was, and I was in my foster home and I ran upstairs, shy, and I was in my bedroom crying, and my mum came up and said, Oh William, are you OK? and I ignored my mum, 39。cause I didn39。t know her and I was scared. So, then my foster mum came up and I came down and we had some fun time. It was nice when I first arrived. I thought, Oh goody, two sisters, I can play with them. But now it39。s just, Oh no, not them again! I argue with one of my sisters about her rabbits, 39。cause she doesn39。t let me touch them. Well she does, but...When I have a bit of a bad time with my sister, I go and speak with my mum and my dad. I feel most fortable speaking to my dad about all my worries and stuff. I wish I had a brother in this family, but then it39。s just nice (being...) having two sisters, but I39。d rather have a brother anyway. I mix with different people. I39。m mostly friends with adults, 39。cause I normally see adults more than children for some reason, I don39。t know why. It was scary going from my primary school to secondary school, but then that39。s just me growing up, and I39。ve got to take the chances and take, just take what I39。ve learned already and just move on and learn different things.Keys: (1) shy (2) crying (3)scared (4) came down (5) fun (6) nice (7) two sisters (8) argue (9) touch (10) bad time (11) speak (12) fortable (13) brother (14) adults (15) children (16) secondary (17) growingup (18) learnl Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Big John is ing!A bar owner in the Old West just hired a timid bartender. The owner of the establishment was giving his new employee some instructions on running the place. He told the timid man, If you ever hear that Big John is ing to town, drop everything and run for the hills! He39。s the biggest, nastiest outlaw who39。s ever lived!A few weeks passed uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand came running through town yelling, Big John is ing to town! Run for your lives!When the bartender left the bar to start running, he was knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. As he was picking himself up, he saw a large man, almost seven feet tall. He was muscular, and was growling as he approached the bar.He stepped up to the door, ordered the poor bartender inside, and demanded, I want a beer NOW!And with one strike of his heavy fist, he split the bar in half. The bartender nervously handed the big man a beer, hands shaking. He took the beer, bit the top of the bottle off, and downed the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hid behind the bar, the big man got up to leave. Do you want another beer? the bartender asked in a trembling voice.Dang it, I don39。t have time! the big man yelled. I got to get out of town! Didn39。t you hear Big John is ing?

Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with。 but during an emotional state, they cannot control themselves. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is the contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest that there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed facts. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called cold, and others involving the extreme of pure emotion not related to any logical argument, which is called the heat of passion. The relation between logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, even one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an allornothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a prehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no pure decision or thought。 that is, no thought is based purely on intellectual logic or purely on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.
