We want to give all children a world ( )violence.
M Why in the world would we want to? It just encourages those companies to send us more surveys.
W Well, it says that if we fill out this simple consumer products survey, they'll give us coupons for all sorts of things. A $100 worth of coupons, just for filling it out.

W: Elizabeth Carter.
M: And, uh, Elizabeth, uh. How does your family celebrate Christmas?
W: We go skiing, and we go over to my grandparents' house and have dinner with them.
M: Well, that is great, and what does Christmas mean to you?
W: Giving by not expecting to get.
M: Giving by not expecting to get. What does that mean?
W: Well, one thing that we do is secret giving.
M: Secret giving? Now how does that work in your family?
W: We come near silently to the entrance of somebody we want to give to, we put the gift we want to give to them, ring the doorbell, and hide.
M: Ring the doorbell and hide? Uh, so you're net expecting something; you just want to be generous to someone else. Is that right?
W: Yeah. That's correct.
M: And is there anything else that Christmas means to you?
W: It means getting off from school!
M: Getting off from school?! Do you really feel that way?

W: I'm not sure I can give you perfect dictionary definition, but I'll tell you how I feel. I want for us to sham all responsibilities equally. Both of us will con tribute to the life we share.
M: But I earn enough money for the both of us. What about the home?
W: I want to contribute financially so that we can both pay our own way; both of us will clean the house; both of us will raise the children, and so on. It may not exactly be equal, but we can try.
M: I was raised to treat women with a certain respect; to stand when they enter a room, to open car doors for them, to let them sit first and eat first.
W: I think those things are old fashioned. I'm perfectly able to open doors for myself, and do all sorts of other things. And besides, it makes me feel un comfortable when you treat me as though I were a china doll. I'm not more special than you; I'm your equal.
M: It sounds as though you think men and women—or in our case, boys and girls—can be friends just like two boys or two girls can.
W: I certainly do. And I think we'll all be better for it.

听力原文:W: Robert, you play the guitar, don't you?
M: I used to. But I haven't played quite some time. I don't really have time these days with all my studies. Why do you ask?
W: I'm trying to organize a group to play at some parties on weekends. We still need a guitar player.
M: Well, I don't know. But your idea sounds fun to me.
W: Oh, it will be. I'm more or less in charge of things, so if you want to give it a try, you're in. It's as easy as that. Besides, it's a great chance to get out and meet people.
M: But I haven't practiced for a long time. I don't know if I remember any songs I used to play.
W: Don't worry about that. I just thought I'd ask you to try and join us sometime when we were practicing. We'll be practicing for a few months before we give performances.

回答题:
Looking to help the environment? Consider the following simple ideas.
Turn off electrical devices when they"re not being used.
Turning off, rather than leaving on stand-by, things like your TV and computer will save huge amounts of energy. With this, we can all help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the earth"s atmosphere, thereby reducing pollution and global warming.
Share your ear.
Rather than traveling to work alone, why not arrange ear-sharing with one or more of your,friends or colleagues? To give you an example, if you drive a fashionable ear, you will use more energy in a year than you would leaving your fridge open for seven years, or your TV on for thirty-two years ! Imagine the savings if you shared your ear with 2,3 or even 4 other people !
Refuse junk mail.
While we all complain about how much junk mail we get, we very rarely do anything about it. The mail continues to go straight from our letter-boxes into the garbage bin——with 99% of it not even opened. What can you do about this? There are various websites where you can register to receive no junk mail. As well as saving time, you"ll also be doing a lot for the environment. Each year,100 million trees are used to produce junk mail.250,000 homes could be heated with one day"s supply of junk mail.
There are many other everyday changes you can make to help the environment. They will cost you nothing, and many will actually save you money! Why not give it a try? We can all help,if we really want to.
By turning off a TV or computer that‘s not being used,you will save a lot of energy. 查看材料
