Changing weather patterns and an increase in demand have led to a shortage of
maple syrup. Worldwide stocks of everyone's favourite pancake topping have gone down.
This has caused Canada to release 22 million kilograms of the sweet, sticky stuff into the
market. Canada is the world's largest producer of maple syrup. The province of Quebec
produces almost three-quarters of global supply. Canada keeps huge amounts of it for
emergencies. The syrup it has just released is almost half of those emergency reserves. A
spokeswoman for Quebec's maple syrup producers said there would be no shortages. She
said: "That's why the reserve is made.…We won't lack maple syrup."
A warmer spring this year has reduced syrup supplies. Maple trees need warm
daytime and freezing nighttime temperatures to produce syrup. A warmer and shorter
spring led to a poorer harvest than usual. Another factor is worldwide demand for maple
syrup. This has increased by more than 20 per cent this year. One major reason for this
rise is the coronavirus pandemic. More people are at home, cooking pancakes and waffles.
It is possible that more of us have developed a sweet tooth. The Quebec spokeswoman
said: "The pandemic helped our case because we're seeing people cook more at home and
use more local products. It's not just in Quebec where the demand is increasing."

1.
W:I hold that every kind of sports contributes to our well-being.Which one do you
like best?
M:I once enjoyed football so much. Now I think nothing can compare with
basketball.
2.
W:On the first day, you will leave Shanghai for Hong Kong on the night flight. And
you'll stay there for two days. You will then go to Shenzhen by subway on the third day
and stay two nights there.
M: That sounds great. I'm looking forward to it. And can I get back by train?
W:Of course.
3.
M:Are these treatments really necessary? They don't seem to be of much help.
W: Just be patient, Mr. Paris. I'm sure you'll see some results soon.
4.
W:You look run-down, Brian.
M: Yeah. I've been feeling under the weather recently. I caught a bad cold last week,
and I still haven't gotten over it. Even though I seem to be over the worst of it, I don't
want to give the bug to anyone in the office.
W: Uh, better not. Well, you want to take sick leave? All you need now is a good,
long rest.
M:I guess so.5.
W:Are you planning to enter the singing contest?
M: Of course. This is a great chance for me to show off my beautiful voice.
W:Do you think you have a chance to be the winner?
M: A chance? Not just a chance, I'm a hundred percent certain. I still have 5 days
to practice.
6.
W: I think a drought has set in. It hasn't rained a drop for months.
M: I think so, too, but didn't it rain last month?
W: It did rain last month, but the rainfall was only half the monthly average.
M:Oh.That's bad!
W: That's right. It's really bad. I'm really concerned though not panicked yet.
M:I don't blame you. The pastures have browned out even before the summer hasn't
arrived.
W: Yeah, and the soil has been baked so hard that the plow can't even break the
soil.
M: Looks like it's going to be an ongoing thing that would get worse each day.
W: Yeah. If it doesn't rain, it's going to get critical.
7.
M: Hello. Do you carry walking shoes ?
W: Yes, we do. This is such a large shoes store that we can carry almost everything.
M: That's good. Can you show me some walking shoes?
W: Yes. This pair is made of calf leather, very soft.
M: Let me try it on, and see how it fits.
W:It looks comfortable.
M:But it seems a little tight.
W: That's because you are wearing heavy socks.
M:What about if I take the inner sole(鞋垫) off?
W: That'll help.M: Yes, it's more comfortable now. But can I change these round shape shoelaces(鞋
带) ?
W: You can if you want. But this original one lasts longer.
M:I know that. But it loosens easily.
W: That's all right. I'll change you another pair of shoelaces.
M: Thanks. I also need some shoes polish if there's any.
W:We carry plenty of them here.
M: I'll take two. Black and brown, one each.
8.
W:What's your plan for the weekend?
M:I've no idea.
W:What about having a party?
M: That's good. Who will you invite and where to?
W: Maybe Jane, Jack, Tony, and... just these old fellows in my new house. What's
your opinion?
M: That's great. I haven't seen them for days ! Everyone's busy.
W:Now,go and call them as soon as possible to assure when they'll come, so that we
could prepare for it earlier.
M: Leave it to me. And you can make a shopping list while I'm dialing. I'll be back
in a minute.
W:OK.
M: Hey! Good news and bad news, which one is first wanted?
W: Come to the point!
M: OK, Jane has to go to work this weekend. That is to say, there'll be 13 people
including you and me.
W:And the good news is...
M:David promised to carry his girlfriend! So it's OK now. That a great idea! I'll call
the boys again to remind them that they must carry their girlfriends! More people, more
fun!9.
M: Where do you get your idea from, Mrs. Rowling?
W:Where the idea for Harry Potter came from I really couldn't tell you. I was
traveling on a train between Manchester and London, and it just popped into my head. I
spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like-the most interesting train
journey I've ever taken. By the time I got off at King's Cross, many of the characters in
the books had already been invented.
M:Are any of the characters in the books based on real people?
W: Tricky question! The answer is yes and no. I have to confess that Hermione
Granger is a little bit like I was at her age, though I was neither as clever nor as
annoying. Ron is a little bit like my best friend and Professor Snape is a lot like one of
my old teachers, but I'm not saying which one.
M:How long have you been writing?
W:Nearly all my life. I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry
Potter, though I'd never tried to get them published.
M:Did you expect the Harry Potter books to be so successful?
W:Never.I just wrote the sort of thing I liked reading when I was younger. I didn't
expect lots of people to like them. In fact,I never really thought much apart from getting
them published.
M:Any clues about the next book?
W:I don't want to give anything away, but I can tell you that the books are getting
darker...Harry Potter's going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if
they get too scary!
M:Thanks for your time.
W:You're welcome.
10.
W:Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately.
Even the busiest government official always takes extra time to be polite and offer
refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.
The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world.Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may
or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting
is interrupted several times by people who come in talking, and leave. Act as though you
do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.
Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness in doing
business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time
and ask lots of questions.
When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he
probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is
considered impolite. Instead of "no" he will say "inshallah", which means, "if God is
willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow
nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab
considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.

something.
W: OK.
Text 6
W: Tim, I saw you running from the bus stop this morning. Your mother and father
wouldn't be happy seeing you do that.
M: I was late for school though.
W: You need to be more careful when you cross the street. You need to walk during
the right time and in the right places.
M: But I'm very fast.
W: Are you even listening to me? It is dangerous. It is also against the law.
M: But I hate waiting for the lights to change and the cars to pass by. I don't want
to be late.
W: It is important to obey the rules, but your safety is more important. I don't want
to see anyone of my students get hurt.
Text 7
W: Sorry, Jim. I won't be able to make it to the dinner tomorrow night. I'll be busy
volunteering at the library during that time.
M: That's interesting, Carol. Most people I know volunteer by collecting garbage or
something. What do you do at the library when you volunteer? Are they short on
employees who put away books?
W: Nothing like that. I just read the children's books and act out some of the stories
for them. It's very fun and it doesn't take long, maybe one or two hours.
M: How often do you do that?
W: I do it on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week. You should come help
me with it one time.
M: That sounds like fun. Can I pick the stories I want to read? I hate to try and actout a story I never read.
W: You can read any book as long as it's on the library's list.
Text 8
M: I was reading about superfoods today. They are fruits, vegetables and other foods
that are supposed to be extra healthy.
W: That's interesting. Which foods are they? I suppose rice is high on the list. We
certainly eat a lot of that here in China.
M: No, it isn't. Nor are noodles. But yogurt, fish and tomatoes are there.
W: Oh well, I suppose we eat plenty of them. Why are these foods so healthy?
M: It's said that they can reduce the risks of high blood pressure, heart disease and
certain cancers.
W: Maybe I will start including them in our meals. Are there any foods on the list
that we don't have yet?
M: Nuts and greens are something we already eat plenty of. And although our type
of rice—the white kind—isn't on the list, brown rice is.
W: Then I think we will switch to that to keep the family healthy. Superfoods sound
like a very tasty way to keep fit.
Text 9
M: I can't believe this. I have been on the phone with my bank all day and they
still haven't fixed my problem.
W: Is it a credit card problem?
M: Yes. My credit card information was stolen. When I got my bill in the mail, I
saw there were many unfamiliar purchases on it.
W: That's terrible. Did they take a lot of money?
M: Yes, and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly. I have
talked to many different managers already.
W: Doesn't the bank's owner need to make the decision to give you your money
back?
M: No. I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.
W: I hope you can fix this problem soon. Something similar happened to my
husband's mother recently. She was tricked into giving away some important informationover the phone.
M: I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet. I bought a
collection of movies recently. I won't be doing that again unless the website is sure to be
safe. It's honestly my fault for being careless.
W: You can never be too careful. Well, your problem is inspiring me to look into
protecting my account better. I think I can pay my bank more to help me.
Text 10
W: Listen up, you two. We need to leave this house before the sun rises tomorrow.
Your father will be home soon from work and once he gets home, we will be packing
our bags. We need you guys to do the same thing tonight. I want everything you're going
to bring put out in the living room before you go to bed. Before you pack everything
though, you need to put aside the clothes for tomorrow. I don't want to wait for you to
search for other clothes or to unpack your bag to get something. Our flight is at 7：00
am, and it will take about a half hour to get to the airport from here. We'll probably
need another hour to get through security. Also, I know I said that we would go out for
our meal tonight, but there is just too much to do. I asked your father to pick up some
Chinese food for dinner instead. I can't be bothered to cook something since I just
cleaned everything. If you want a specific dish at the restaurant, you will need to call
your father. Otherwise, he will just pick up something that we can all share. Are you
clear on everything I said？

decided to go to medical school instead.
M:Medical school?That’s very interesting.
W:And how about you?Do you still intend to study business?
M:No,I have also changed my mind.I’m studying English now.
W:Why?
M:If I master the English language well,I’m sure I can do better in the future.
W:Oh,that sounds great!

W：The Grammy Awards starting in 1958 are the greatest of all music awards, dating back
over five decades. They are to music what Oscar is to the movies. The name “Grammy” is short
for “gramophone” since the awards are shaped like those old-fashioned phonographs. Over the
years Los Angeles and New York have played tug-of-war with the Grammy Awards show. In
1999, the show returned to Los Angeles because the show organizers didn’t get along well with
the mayor of New York City. In 2003，the show returned to New York, and in 2004,the awardshow moved back to Los Angeles and remained there in 2005.The 49th Annual Grammy Awards
took place in Los Angeles at the Staples Center on Sunday, February 11,2007, and were broadcast
nationwide on CBS. Tickets to the annual Grammy Awards show are not available to the general
public just because they are “by invitation only” to nominees, recording artists, record companies
and so on.
