When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring—" Hockey (冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神) "—the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China.
"They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. They're right. " says Beardsley.
Students in Beardsley's class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading list included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gas ton and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.
In Beardsley's words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. "I think that a long with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱). So we invent the game and—whammo! —you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we don't allow ourselves elsewhere. " says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form. of saying, "Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. "
"I'm talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course. "
What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To teach how to play hockey.

听力原文: Today's English learner has a wide choice d dictionaries in which to choose from. There are dictionaries with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionary I have seen is the talking electronic dictionaries. All you have to do is to type in a word in your language and then you can see it and hear it in English. That's great, right? Well, I think it's great, too... but only sometimes. Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual book dictionaries in many cases. Here is my explanation.
When you reach an intermediate level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding rather than your translating. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.
I also feel that book dictionaries are better for studying titan electronic dictionaries. It is true that the book dictionaries take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you were forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your mind. So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don't understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It can help you in such a ease. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible, beaming language involves more understanding than translating.

听力原文:M: Susan! Could I have a word with you while you are having your coffee?
W: Of course, David! Let's find a quiet comer over there.
M: The manager asked me to tell you that he appreciated your efforts last year very much.
W: Thanks, David. That makes me feel a lot better. I try my best, you know. You can tell him that I am grateful for his confidence in me.
M: Yes, I'll certainly pass that on to him. Your sales figures for the last two years have been remarkably good.
W: Manchester is a good area to work in. There are a lot of businesses opening all the time. I try to make contact with the managers as soon as I know a new company is starting up. "The early bird catches the worm!" as they say.
M: I'm sure that's true, but there is more to it than that, isn't there. Susan? You seem to be very confident and this helps your sales.
W: Yes, I've been working on that for some time. I think that if I appear confident and successful, people are more likely to buy our goods.
M: Well, you certainly seem successful at that. Your sales figures prove that. I was wondering if you could give a short talk tomorrow afternoon on the idea of being confident as a sales representative. Do you think you could put together something on that topic?
W: I think I could manage. I'll work on it this evening.
M: I would be grateful if you could do that for me. I'm sure the others would benefit from that kind of talk.
W: About how long do you want me to speak for?
M: Something like 20 minutes, if that's all right?
W: And what sort of thing do you want me to talk about?
M: Oh. How to build up your confidence, present yourself to customers, that sort of thing.
W: I'll work on it later then, David.
M: Thanks, Susan...let me take your coffee cup back for you. I think it is about time we got back to the conference.

M: When I began to hear voices I thought of the voices as from something of that sort.
W: What would they say to you?
M: Well, you see it's really my subconscious talking. It was really that night because I know.
W: I once read an article about you and it described you like this: "John Nash, an arrogant guy."
M: Yeah. That is a word that has been used.
W: Your arrogance back then was said to be monumental. "You don't know a crap," you would say to some of your fellow graduate students. "How could you?" Accurate?

W: And you took yourself quite seriously and your work.
M: Well ,of course I took myself seriously.

W: But when you are in that reality you are in that reality, end you don't realize that you are schizophrenic.

Likewise, I don' t hear people in the academy saying, "Let' s go backward. Let' s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy" (which was never true we never had a meritocracy , although we' ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
The word "imperative" in the first paragraph most probably can be replaced by_________.
A.remarkable
B.superficial
C.essential
D.debatable
