man,what didnt the womans parents teach her?4.What does the woman think?5.What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?PassageAll parents want to raise a happy,successful and loving child,but there is little agreementabout how best to reach this goal.Over the years,parents have tried dramatically different ways.They have put their baby on a schedule,or they have fed on demand;they have let their baby cryhimself to sleep,or they have picked him up as soon as he cried;they have given their childwhatever he wants,or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts.Thesecontrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children andchildhood and the roles of parents.Some parents view their child as naturally social.To them,their job is to allow him the space to succeed.Others think that their child should be taught how toact.There are probably positives and negatives to each method.None of them guarantees that yourchild will become the loving individual you want him to be.But some things are certain-a childwill be more likely to be loving if you show him love,more successful if you give him examplesof success,and happier if you are happy.Q:1.What is this passage about?2.What do parents NOT agree upon?3.Why do parents have different methods for raising children?4.How will a father raise his child if he believes his child is naturally social?5.What can we be certain of?Supplementary ListeningI.M:Hello?Yes,Um,can I get some help over here?W:Sure thing,handsome.Whatll it be?M:A menu,please.W:We dont serve food-just the beers you see on the wall.M:All right.What about that one?Its German,right?W:Yeah,It is.Is that what yon like?M:That,ll do.But Td like a cold one if you got one.W:Sure thing,sweetie.Thatll be$6.25.M:Say,youre kinda friendly,wren71 you?W:Suppose it comes with the job.It pays to be nice to people,dont you think?M:I suppose it does.Thats what my mother said to me anyway.Oh,wait.Wait a second.Ohno.I cant believe this.W:Whats wrong?M:I think I left my wallet somewhere.W:Quick,look around.Its gotta be around here.Maybe on the floor.M:No.it*s not there.I dont know where it could be.Any chance you can be nice and givethe beer for free?W:No chance of that happening.No,if no ones paying,Im not nice.Q:1.What is the man doing in this conversation?2.Where does this conversation take place?3.What does the man want?4.What did the mans mother teach him?5.When is the woman friendly?2.Its difficult to know what is truly happening inside a relationship.Though a woman mightappear to be happy,she may be a victim of violence.And though a man may appear to be gentle,he might not actually be.Every year estimates range from 3.4 million acts of violence against awife or girlfriend to 3.9 million in this small country.This is bad news.Unfortunately,there is more.Nearly one-third of women reported beingbeaten by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives.Some of this violence resulted ininjuries that required a doctors care.Thirty-seven percent of women who sought emergency roomtreatment for violence-related injuries in 2005 were injured by their own husbands or boyfriends.Whats more,twenty-six percent of all female murder victims in 2006 were killed by theirpartners.What this means is that we as a society must look for the signs of violence.Do you knowsomeone who often gives poor excuses for being hurt?Maybe you should talk with her aboutviolence.Often a woman will stay in a violent relationship because she believes her husband orboyfriend loves her.But she should know that violence does not equal love.Q:1.According to the passage,what is difficult?2.How many women are beaten by a husband or boyfriend per year?3.What can we infer from this passage?4.What percentage of female murder victims were killed by a partner in 2006?5.Why does a woman often choose to stay in a violent relationship?3.Who doesnt love being in love?A true love listens to talk about work,lets you have that lastDslice of pie,and(usually)remembers to take out the trash.He is ready to forget all kinds of2)misunderstandings.And he always thinks youre 3)beautiful,even without makeup.Scientists have long been keen to prove that love gives us health 4)benefits too.Researchers cant say for sure that a lover is more important than a loving family or warmfriendship when it comes to 5)wellness.But they are learning more about how a romantic partnermakes us stronger,with health gains that 6)range from faster healing and better control overillnesses to living longer.The benefits of love are 7)explicit and measurable.A study last year from the University ofPittsburgh found that women in good mamages have a much lower risk of hear disease than thosein high-stress relationship.The National Love and Health Study 8)has been tracking mo】e than amillion subjects since 1979.The study shows that married people live longer,9)have fewer heartatlack and lower cancer rates,and even get pneumonia less frequently than singles.A new studyfrom the University of Iowa also found that caner patients with 10)a st】ong sense of connection toothers and in satisfying relationships were better able to fight off cancer.It seems that love helpspeople strengthen their immune systems.Unit 2Listening10 short conversations1.W wow!You look great!What have you

risk of heart disease by up to 35%,stroke by about 28%,certain cancers by 20%and more,and high blood pressure by an amazing52%.Exercise can also help you to build healthy bones and muscles.Athletes must do physicaltraining on a regular basis to increase their level of performance.Exercising includes walking,running,biking and plenty of other activities as well.My advice would be to pick something youenjoy doing and wouldnt mind pursuing on a regular basis.Then,you must stick to a schedule.You can even pick a few different activities to mix things up and keep it interesting.Also,alwaysstretch before physical activity!This is very important as you do not want to pull muscles.Mostimportantly,to keep a healthy body you must stay ACTIVE!Unit 3 ways to win1 W:The
