[00:17.10]Chinese Taikonaut Back on Earth!
[00:21.04]1.China's first taikonaut Lieutenant Colonel Yang Liwei
[00:26.60]landed safely this morning in the Shenzhou V capsule in Inner Mongolia,
[00:32.24]300 kilometres northwest of Beijing.
[00:36.18]Yang was in space for twenty-one and a half hours
[00:39.75]and made 14 orbits of the earth.
[00:44.34]"It is a great moment in the history of China —
[00:47.47]and also the greatest day of my life," said Yang.
[00:52.33]When he was orbiting in the capsule, he took photographs of planet earth.
[00:57.97]"Our planet is so beautiful," he said.
[01:02.31]The Beijing Space Control Centre said the flight was a "complete success".
[01:08.75]When Yang landed, Premier Wen Jiabao telephoned the Control Centre
[01:13.60]to offer his congratulations.
[01:17.54]When Yang took off from Jiuquan in northwest China at 9 am yesterday,
[01:23.10]China became the third nation to send a man into space.
[01:28.29]Yang is the 438th person to travel in space,
[01:33.00]including astronauts from 32 countries.
[01:37.50]In total,
[01:38.70]these astronauts have spent more than 26,000 days in space.
[01:45.61]2 While he was travelling in space,
[01:49.20]Yang spoke to two astronauts aboard the International Space Station,
[01:54.02]which is orbiting the earth,
[01:55.99]American astronaut Edward Lu and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko.
[02:02.23]Lu, whose parents were born in China,
[02:04.88]spoke to Yang in Chinese during his flight.
[02:08.42]"Welcome to space," he said. Malenchenko said,
[02:13.22]"I am glad there is somebody else in space with us.
[02:16.86]It's great work by thousands and thousands of people from China."
[02:22.54]3 Many countries around the world sent messages of congratulations.
[02:29.84]Sean O'Keefe from NASA
[02:32.22](National Aeronau -tics and Space Administration) in the US
[02:36.49]said that Yang's space flight was
[02:38.68]"an important historical achievement
[02:41.34]and NASA wishes China continuing success
[02:44.15]with its space flight programme".
[02:47.13]United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan called the flight
[02:51.84]"a step forward for the whole world".

[12:50.13]MODULE 6 Films and TV Programmes
[12:55.84]READING AND VOCABULARY
[12:58.79]2.Read the film review below. Which is the best summary of the film?
[13:07.19]It takes place on Peking rooftops and in the deserts of western China.
[13:13.43]It is a martial arts film that tells the story of a stolen sword,
[13:18.26]and the fight to get it back.
[13:21.26]It tells the story of two people who love each other.
[13:28.51]Film Review: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
[13:35.22]Martial arts films are often enjoyable but they are seldom great art.
[13:41.50]Now, to everyone's surprise, Ang Lee, director of a number of excellent films,
[13:48.40]has made a martial arts film called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
[13:54.31]The result is a masterpiece.
[13:58.36]The film belongs to a type of Chinese story called wuxia.
[14:04.40]These stories tell of nineteenth- century martial arts masters
[14:09.63]with unusual abilities. Wuxia films are popular in China,
[14:16.44]and they are now popular in the west too.
[14:20.94]The story takes place in the early 1800s in China.
[14:26.15]A man and a woman, Li Mubai (played by Chow Yun-Fat)
[14:31.70]and Yu Xiulian (played by Michelle Yeoh),
[14:35.97]both masters of the martial arts, are in love with each other.
[14:41.38]But Xiulian had a fiance who has died.
[14:46.15]Because this fiance was a good friend of Mubai,
[14:50.16]Mubai feels that he cannot marry Xiulian.
[14:54.27]When someone steals Xiulian's sword, Mubai and Xiulian try to get it back.
[15:01.91]The action takes place on Peking rooftops,
[15:05.69]and in places as far away as the deserts of western China.
[15:11.00]As in the old wuxia stories, characters leap through the air every now and then,
[15:17.04]with beautiful, graceful movements, while audiences shout in surprise.
[15:24.68]Unusually, it is the female characters that interest us most.
[15:30.13]Brave, good and strong, Xiulian is the character we care about most.
[15:36.81]Beautiful Zhang Ziyi plays the part of Yu Jiaolong,
[15:41.88]a young woman who is not as good as she seems.
[15:46.18]The fight scenes between Jiaolong and Xiulian
[15:49.75]are some of the most exciting moments in modern cinema.
[15:53.77]But one cannot forget the wonderful Chow Yun-Fat,
[15:57.83]who is as good with a sword as he is with a gun.
[16:01.84]His romantic scenes with Yu Xiulian are very moving,
[16:07.15]as their eyes show all the love that they must not express in words.
[16:14.93]Films like this rarely reach the cinema.
[16:18.40]Go and see Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon.
[16:21.51]It will make your heart leap with excitement at its beauty.

[22:00.33]It's one of the most relaxing things you can do when you're tired or bored.
[22:04.44]I see! How often do you change channels in an evening?
[22:08.81]Quite a lot. If we're all watching,
[22:11.06]we often argue about which programme we want to watch.
[22:14.47]My parents like serious programmes like the news,
[22:17.36]but I prefer comedy programmes. Do you enjoy advertisements?
[22:21.72]Yes, I do, I think they can be very interesting.
[22:25.26]I saw an excellent one yesterday.
[22:27.63]When I leave school, I want to work in advertising.
[22:30.46]Good for you! What's your favourite TV programme?
[22:33.81]I love watching Neighbours. Everyone in it acts so brillianty.
[22:38.81]I have to find out what's happing to the characters. They seem so real!
[22:43.38]So what's on TV tonight? Anything good?
[22:46.59]Absolutely! Neighbours!
[22:51.04]PRONUNCIATION Intonation in exclamations

[28:18.15]Module 2 No Drogs Speaking and listening
[28:23.67]16.Listen to a conversation
[28:27.54]and decide which statement best describes the situation.
[28:32.59]1.A mother is angry with her son because he smokes cigarettes
[28:38.74]2.A teacher is talking to a student about his smoking habit.
[28:45.02]3.A mother is encouraging her son to stop smoking.
[28:50.50]4.A mother is telling her son he has to stop smoking.
[28:57.40]How many cigarettes do you smoke? Not many. Only about two a day.
[29:03.18]I'm not sure I agree with that. I think you smoke more than five a day.
[29:08.60]You smoke before you go to school
[29:10.78]and you usually have two cigarettes in the evening,
[29:13.90]so I know that you smoke more than two a day.
[29:17.29]How do you know how many I smoke? Well, I'm your mother.
[29:21.73]I live with you and see you every day. All my friends smoke.
[29:26.38]What's wrong with cigarettes? They're better than drugs!
[29:30.23]But they are drugs! In fact, they are so dangerous
[29:34.56]that millions of people die every year as a result of cigarette smoking
[29:39.66]You can't be serious. I am serious. And even if it doesn't kill you,
[29:44.91]you can get illnesses and diseases from smoking.
[29:48.70]Did you know that a quarter of young people
[29:50.83]who smoke more than ten cigarettes a day
[29:53.75]will die prematurely as a result of smoking?
[29:56.93]I don't agree with you. None of my friends have got diseases.
[30:01.38]Yes, but they're young. The diseases will come later.
[30:05.51]Anyway, that isn't quite true. You've already got a bad cough.
[30:10.28]Yes, I know. I cough a lot at night.
[30:13.47]Would you like me to help you stop smoking?
[30:16.10]It's not easy to stop. Can you really help me?
[30:19.59]Yes, I can. Remember I stopped smoking five years ago,
[30:24.37]so I know it isn't easy. But it'll be easier now than when you are older.
[30:29.30]Yeah, I would like to stop.
[30:31.96]But when I'm with my friends I always want a cigarette.
[30:36.06]The first thing to do
[30:37.41]is to keep away from people who smoke for a few weeks.
[30:40.70]What! Not see my friends! I can't do that!
[30:44.59]It's the only way. And it will only be for a few weeks.
[30:48.27]What will I do? You must keep busy. Do something new.
[30:53.06]Then you won't think about smoking. Why don't you join the sports club.
[30:57.77]It'll help you to forget about cigarettes.
[31:00.25]OK. I will think about it.
[31:04.57]17.Listen again and underline the correct answer.
[31:10.94]How many cigarettes do you smoke? Not many. Only about two a day.
[31:16.70]I'm not sure I agree with that. I think you smoke more than five a day.

[33:54.75]She's very talented, you know. She started singing when she was at school.
[34:00.40]She went on a national television show called Star Search

[34:49.70]She writes some of her songs in other languages, too.
[34:53.06]She had a big hit with a song she wrote in English,

[38:23.14]Module 4 Fine Arets-Western, Chinese and Pop Arts
[38:29.95]Speaking and Listening
[38:38.49]What do you make of this painting? It's very strange.
[38:43.09]It's called Woman at a Window. It's not my favorite.
[38:47.61]It's doesn't even look like a woman. I prefer more realistic portraits.
[38:53.90]One of my favourite paintings
[38:55.79]is the portrait called the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
[39:00.69]Picasso's portrait isn't half as good as the Mona Lisa.
[39:04.59]He can't draw. That's not true. It's not the same style.
[39:10.43]Picasso created the Cubist art movement
[39:13.55]while da Vinci was a more traditional painter.
[39:17.34]In fact, Picasso was very good at drawing.
[39:21.45]In his early years, he did hundreds of drawings and paintings
[39:25.11]in a traditional realistic style.
[39:27.95]Later his work changed and it became more abstract.
[39:32.34]How about this one? It's an extraordinary painting.
[39:36.72]What is it? It's called Le Sommeil.
[39:40.65]It was painted by Salvator Dali.
[39:43.90]He was a famous Spanish Surrealist painter who lived in the 20th century,
[39:48.97]at about the same time as Picasso. He was completely mad.
[39:53.75]All his paintings are very strange but I quite like them.
[39:57.52]Well I don't understand this one at all.
[40:00.34]And I can't stand paintings I don't understand.
[40:03.69]Look. I love this painting. It's so colourful.
[40:07.73]Yes,it's delightful. It's a landscape oil painting by Vincent van Gogh.
[40:14.02]It's called Landscape with Trees and Figures.
[40:18.10]He's a very well- known European painter.
[40:21.31]He was Dutch but he lived and worked in France in the 19th century.
[40:26.87]I'm very fond of his work, especially his landscape paintings.
[40:31.92]They are so colourful and alive.
[40:34.66]This is the one I like best.
[40:37.02]I'd choose it to put on my bedroom wall. I agree. I like this one too.
[40:43.66]But I don't think Van Gogh is half as good as Picasso.
[40:47.72]I'd choose Picasso to put on my wall. He's my favourite painter.
[40:53.00]I'm sure all of these paintings look much better
[40:55.68]in reality than in an art book. I'd love to see them.
[41:00.03]The problem is, they're in different museums around the world.
[41:04.59]Well, there's an exhibition on in the school hall
[41:07.67]of students' paintings next week.We could go to that!
[41:12.80]Now listen again and check your answers to activity 14.

[44:03.64]Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines
[44:08.44]Listening and speaking
[44:10.65]14.Listen to a conversation between two journalists
[44:15.73]and number the phrasses in the order in which you hear them.
[44:20.76]Have you read the article about the journalist who made up false news?
[44:25.52]Which one is that?
[44:27.12]The one with the headline "Bad News" in the World Today tabloid newspaper.
[44:33.00]Oh, yes,I've read it So do you think it's true? It's a crazy idea!
[44:38.63]That sort of thing doesn't happen at the Daily Star.
[44:41.79]I mean,it's a quality newspaper. I don't believe a word of it!
[44:46.22]Oh, come on! Why don't you believe it?
[44:49.56]Stranger things have happened, you know. It's quite possible.
[44:53.93]As the editor of the Daily Star said,
[44:56.84]you shouldn't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
[45:00.40]That's a crazy thing to say. They can't print lies. It's against the law
[45:05.78]Well, I still don't believe that a Daily Star journalist would invent news.
[45:10.84]And I certainly don't believe a tabloid article.
[45:14.11]So you think the article was a lie?
[45:16.65]No. I think the tabloids only print part of the truth.
[45:21.36]But that's as bad as giving false information.
[45:24.77]They do it to make their articles more interesting and sell more copies.
[45:30.04]Look at the article about the man who saw aliens on the moon.
[45:34.22]In the tabloid, The World Today, the article didn't give all the facts.
[45:39.11]It just said there were aliens on the moon.
[45:42.16]And it was on the front page. That's not surprising.
[45:46.33]It was an interesting news item.
[45:48.79]I certainly found it interesting. You can't be serious!
[45:52.52]I can't believe you said that! You don't believe in aliens, do you?
[45:57.63]Aliens definitely do not exist! At least in the Daily Star,
[46:01.89]the journalist wrote that not many people believed the man
[46:05.28]because no one else saw the aliens. I didn't say I believed in aliens,
[46:10.19]I said it was an interesting article.
[46:12.88]It was very amusing and entertaining and I enjoyed reading it.
[46:17.93]I mean that's what the tabloids are about, really
[46:21.10]They're just a cheap form of entertainment.
[46:23.92]You don't have to take them so seriously.
[46:26.70]You must be joking! You may not believe what's in them
[46:30.63]but millions of other people do. That's a really dangerous attitude.
[46:35.63]Anyway, I don't believe you are serious.
[46:41.84]15.Listen again and decide who holds these opinions,the man(M)or the woman
[46:51.97]Have you read the article about the journalist who made up false news?
[46:56.70]Which one is that?
[46:58.38]The one with the headline "Bad News" in the World Today tabloid newspaper.
[47:04.23]Oh, yes,I've read it So do you think it's true? It's a crazy idea!
[47:09.84]That sort of thing doesn't happen at the Daily Star.
[47:13.01]I mean,it's a quality newspaper. I don't believe a word of it!
[47:17.40]Oh, come on! Why don't you believe it?
[47:20.81]Stranger things have happened, you know. It's quite possible.
[47:25.13]As the editor of the Daily Star said,
[47:28.05]you shouldn't believe everything you read in the newspapers.
[47:31.50]That's a crazy thing to say. They can't print lies. It's against the law
[47:37.02]Well, I still don't believe that a Daily Star journalist would invent news.
[47:42.08]And I certainly don't believe a tabloid article.
[47:45.29]So you think the article was a lie?
[47:47.81]No. I think the tabloids only print part of the truth.
[47:52.47]But that's as bad as giving false information.
[47:55.90]They do it to make their articles more interesting and sell more copies.
[48:01.20]Look at the article about the man who saw aliens on the moon.
[48:05.42]In the tabloid, The World Today, the article didn't give all the facts.
[48:10.23]It just said there were aliens on the moon.
[48:13.30]And it was on the front page. That's not surprising.
[48:17.47]It was an interesting news item.
[48:19.86]I certainly found it interesting. You can't be serious!
[48:23.64]I can't believe you said that! You don't believe in aliens, do you?
[48:28.79]Aliens definitely do not exist! At least in the Daily Star,
[48:33.22]the journalist wrote that not many people believed the man
[48:36.40]because no one else saw the aliens. I didn't say I believed in aliens,
[48:41.33]I said it was an interesting article.
[48:43.97]It was very amusing and entertaining and I enjoyed reading it.
[48:49.02]I mean that's what the tabloids are about, really
[48:52.15]They're just a cheap form of entertainment.
[48:54.95]You don't have to take them so seriously.
[48:57.79]You must be joking! You may not believe what's in them
[49:01.75]but millions of other people do. That's a really dangerous attitude.
[49:06.71]Anyway, I don't believe you are serious.
[49:21.76]Module 6 Films and TV Programmes
[49:26.04]Listening and speaking
[49:28.54]18.Listen to six people answering questions
[49:33.18]and write the number of the speaker by the question they answer.
[49:38.43]Speaker 1 It was brilliant.
[49:41.79]One of the best films I've ever seen
[49:44.33]and certainly the best action movie I've seen this year.
[49:48.34]I love watching martial arts films and Hero was particularly good.
[49:53.06]It was even better than Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon.
[49:56.86]I love the kungfu combats. And Maggie Cheung is my favourite actress.
[50:02.39]She's so beautiful!
[50:06.13]Speaker 2 The thing is, it's very expensive to go to the cinema.
[50:12.65]That's why I don't go very often.
[50:15.17]About twice a month but it depends on what's on.
[50:19.15]I usually choose big action films
[50:21.96]which are better on the big cinema screen than on TV.
[50:26.06]I often watch films at home on TV but they're often quite old.
[50:32.15]Speaker 3 Not yet.
[50:35.36]I missed Hero when it was on at the local cinema
[50:38.72]so I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.
[50:42.22]Everyone says that it was a brilliant film so I intend to buy the DVD.
[50:47.29]Then I can watch it at home.
[50:51.06]Speaker 4 The actors.
[50:54.25]I thought they were all fantastic. Jet Li is a brilliant swordsman.
[50:59.43]And Donnie Yen who played Sky
[51:01.59]is one of the best martial arts actors I've ever seen.
[51:05.38]He's going to be a big star in the future. He's so good.
[51:09.36]And he's good- looking!
[51:12.51]Speaker 5
[51:14.44]Because I don't like martial arts movies and I hate histori -cal stories.
[51:19.80]There were both in Hero so I really didn't enjoy it very much.
[51:23.69]I prefer romantic films like Titanic
[51:26.94]or fantasies like the Lord of the Rings.
[51:29.38]I also like crime films.
[51:32.88]Speaker 6 Absolutely! I'd like to see it again at the cinema
[51:38.02]because some of the scenes are so beautiful
[51:40.65]that it's better on a big screen.
[51:43.18]However, I'd also watch it again on the box at home
[51:46.90]because the plot is so complicated I'm sure I've missed a lot of things.
[51:53.74]19.Listen again and answer the questions in activity 18.
[52:01.05]Speaker 1 It was brilliant.
[52:04.44]One of the best films I've ever seen
