He was smart enough to get through the written test and was to appear for the personal interview. Since the boy answered all the questions correctly, the interviewer decided to corner him. “Tell me your choice,” said the interviewer to the boy. “I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one real difficult. Which option will you prefer? Think before you make up your mind.” The boy thought for a while and said, “My choice is ONE real difficult question.” “Well, you have made your own choice!” said the interviewer, “Tell me: Which es first, Day or Night?” The boy was jolted first but he waited for a while and said: “It39。 to work for a travel agency。 to work in the IT industry。 that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel fortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with.

Listening is more than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening helps us do our assignments well, and take better notes . Doing these activities well results in better learning and, most of the time, in good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers or clients, you may lose their business, and your job! In a personal setting, listening deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say “You are important” without ever speaking a word. When we fail to listen, not only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.Key: Unit 2 Do you work out?II. Listening SkillsIdentifying Numbers1.

Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and to meet the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. They looked normal, most about 6’4’’ or so. Then, a thin, babyfaced guy came in. He was about 7’5’’. We were all amazed. We couldn’t believe his size. And when he started hitting threepointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the U’S’ didn’t believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summer. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was peting with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakers coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day he’s going to have a real impact on the NBA.” Key: 1. D 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. ATask 2: Physical ExerciseMore and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. Physical exercise can make you strong and healthy. By doing some form of physical exercise every day, your level of energy will increase and you will sleep better at night. There are many different forms of physical exercises that suit different tastes and needs of different people. Take track and field events, for example. Throwing the javelin can strengthen your arm and upper body. The long jump and high jump can strengthen your legs. Basketball, football and volleyball are also good forms of exercise. Be careful when choosing the right type of exercise for yourself. If your heart is weak, for example, you should start with some light exercise. If you are overweight, know your limits. Don’t overdo it.Key: (1) strong and healthy (2) energy (3) sleep better(4) different (5) tastes and needs (6) carefulTask 3:
