Gao: I have heard something of it, but I don’t really know it. Tian: Oh, what a pity. You know, the spring festival is the most important festival in China. Tang: Sure it is and the spring festival is coming. It just likes Christmas in your country. Zhang: Just like Christmas? Oh it must be a big day! Gao: It should be very special. I can’t wait to know it. Wang: Ok, Let me explain the origin of the spring festival to you. It starts from the beginning of spring. The word Chinese word “nian” means “year” in English is the name of a monster. The monster eats people. One day, an immortal god appeared and rode the monster away. Before he left, he told people to put up red decorations on windows and doors to scare nian away. From then on, the tradition is carried on from generation to generation. Zhang: Oh, what a special story. Then how do you celebrate the festival? It must be special as well. Tang: When spring festival is coming, people wherever you are come back home, which makes transportation very busy in china. People clean their houses inside and outside and decorate doors with couplets. On New Year’s Eve, family always gathers together to have a big dinner. On New Year’s Day, people wear new clothes to visit relatives and friends. Gao: Oh, I see. Do you have something special foods? You know, I like to try different kinds of food. Since it is a big day, I think you must have many delicious food. Wang: Of course we have. I live in the north of china. jaozi is the most famous food because it looks like ancient money and means getting a lot of money in the coming year. The most interesting thing is putting coins into some jiaozi and those who have these jiaozi will have a good luck in the new year. Gao: This is really specially and funny. I even want to try some right now. How about the south of china? Tian: I come from south of china. We usually have niangao instead of jiaozi. niangao is a cake made of glutinous rice flour. In chinese, niangao means “higher and higher, one year after another”. It also means good luck in the coming year. Gao: Oh, I really love it. Zhang what do you think of these food? Zhang: As to me, I don’t care much about food. I just wonder what special activities do you have in spring festival. You know, playing is the most important thing in my life. Tang: You just find the right man. When I was a child, the happiest thing in spring festival is to have the gift money. After getting the money, I will use it to buy fireworks with my friends. Then we can find different ways to set off them. I always remember the wonderful moments, what about you Tian? Tian: I used to set off fireworks. But in recent years I often play cards with my relatives and friends. Unluckly, I always loose money. Zhang: Setting off fireworks and playing cards, sounds great! Gao: Wang, what do you usually do in spring festival? These activities are not suitable for girls. Wang: Well, as to me, I often go to visit my friend and relatives. You know, I haven’t seen them for almost a year, so this is a precious moment. We always have a lot to say. Gao: Chatting is really a good relaxation for girls. Zhang, I hope tomorrow is the spring festival. I want to experience it myself right now. Zhang: Your dreams will come true soon, because we will stay here during the spring festival. Gao: Great! I will try every delicious food here. Zhang: I will try the fireworks and cards. They are really tempting. Tang: I am sure you will enjoy your stay here. 4. Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year. Do you think these people deserve such high salaries? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

B: oh, I heard that, too. Of course, Kobe, as a NBA star, is very rich. He has a lot of money. C:some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every yeah. I wonder whether they deserve such high salary. D, what’s your opinion? D:yeah. Today, the salary of athletes and entertainers, especially the rich ones, are very high. They can live in luxurious house and wear expensive jewelry. However, some people have no money to eat and cloth. E:entertainment is a high profit industry. I think it is natural that they get a high salary. There are just a few who can get very high salary. A:yeah, they give us happiness and enrich our daily life. Without them, our life will be dull. But what we should not ignore is that some stars are not happy, even though they are very rich. They have no privacy and their life is transparency. B:I cannot agree with you more. Money does not mean everything. Money cann’t buy happiness, laugh, respect and health. C:I also think that high salary is natural. But I think these stars should make great use of money, besides high-paid goods. In my opinion, they can donate some of them to the people who need money. In the world, there are a lot of people need help. And many of the problems can be solved by money. D:that’s right. For example, Han Hong is very enthusiastic in public service activities. Once, she gave up her first-class seat to a girl whose legs are inconvenient. E:yeah, I also know some of these stars.举例。。。希望你们给些意见。。。 5. Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer. Wang: Hey Tian, what wrong with you, you look very tired? Tian: Oh, I just slept the class, it is very boring. Tang: Yes, I agree with Tian, I just can not figure out what the teacher actually talks about. Zhang: The teacher is just talking himself. He doesn’t even care whether we can understand at all. What a bad teacher! Wang: How come you can think like that? Tian: Why not? Most of the students say that. Tang: It’s not our fault. It is the teacher to be blamed. His teaching method is terrible. Tian, don’t you think so? Tian: I could not agree more. I think we should drop the next class. Zhang: Good idea. It is really a waste of time here. Personally, I think we college students should not be required to attend classes. Tang: Yes, you are right. Tian: How ridiculous it is to hear a college student attending classes every day. Say goodbye to classes. Let’s go back and playing computer games. Wang: NO NO NO! You can not do that. As a student, your main task is to attend classes. If you drop the class, you are wasting your time and money. Zhang: It is a waste of time to be here. Ok, let’s go. (monitor is coming) Wang: Monitor, come here! They want to drop the class. Tian: You sold us out! Wang: It is my responsibility to do that. Gao: What’s the matter? Wang: They want to drop the class and go back playing computer games. Gao: Really? Tian: No, we just want to go back and get the book. Gao: Come on, I know you, Ok? Zhang, tell me the truth. Zhang: Nothing special, it’s just we can not understand what the teacher is saying, so we decide to go. It’s a waste of time to be here. Tian: Yes, I just slept the whole class. I tried not to sleep, but I still couldn’t help. The class is too boring. Gao: It’s the result of playing computer games till 3 o’clock at the moring. What’s the matter with you, Tang? You are always working very hard. Tang: Er. I am not interested in this class and the class is useless. Besides, I just can not understand the teacher. His teaching method is really terrible. If I stay here, it’s still a waste of time. Zhang: I totally agree. This class has nothing to do with our major and useless in our daily life. I just wonder the reason our school arrange so many useless curriculums. Wang: As to curriculums arrangement, I agree with you. I think we should not be required to attend classes. Going to classes should be optional thing for students. Gao: To some extent, you are right. Although most of the curriculums seem useless for the moment, it is very useful in the future, especially when we are working. Besides, if we make going to classes optional to everyone, some students will not go to school at all, just like Tian. Tian: Don’t talk about me, I know I am lazy. Wang: Maybe we can set some limitations, such as scores and ranking. Gao: It may works. But it can hurt some student’s selfesteem. So it has two sides. Since we can not change the current situation, what we can do is to adapt to it. Tang: I know it is useful. But the teacher’s teaching method is terrible. Although we listen very carefully, we can not understand. The teacher just can’t explain clearly. Zhang: I totally agree. It’s the teacher’s fault. You should understand us. Gao: Maybe we can talk to the teacher and give him some advice. You know, professors are always modest and easygoing. But we can not drop the class. Tian: I know. Always remember the attendance occupy 20 percent in the final examination. Wang: Class is beginning. Ok, Let’s go! Tian: Ok, for the 20 percent. 6. Directions: The panel--a group of two students--will answer questions raised by journalists or audiences (the rest of the group). The panel sits in the front facing the audiences.

B:as we all know, energy reserves in china are very large, but per capita is very little. And we also know that china is the world’s second largest energy producer and consumer country. C:yes. The energy status is of three main characteristics. Firstly, coal-based, low degree of renewable recourse development. Secondly, growing energy consumption and energy efficiency is very low. Thirdly, energy consumption is mainly domestic supply and environmental pollution is intensified. D:thank you. I want to ask this question. solving the "energy crisis" and keeping sustainable development make good sense. So low carbon energy come into being. Then ,what is low carbon energy. B: As known to all，with the development of society, a large of energy sources have been used, such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and so on. However, under the circumstance, the quantity of energy sources is limited. Unlimited usage of energy sources results in energy crisis. D: Indeed, Judging from the current level of understanding, low carbon energy is a kind of energy that contains little carbon molecular weight or no carbon molecule structure. Broadly speaking, it is a kind of energy that can save energy and reduce emission. E: Low carbon energy in two main categories: one is the clean energy, such as nuclear power and natural gas; one is the renewable energy, such as wind, solar, biomass. According to these characteristics, it is understandable for people to favor low carbon energy. Then , what can we do to support it? B: Presently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading every corner of our country. Low carbon life means a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to reduce energy consumption and carbon greenhouse-gas emissions. D: how can we live a low-carbon life? I think firstly, we should recognize that low-carbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also an attitude towards life. Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily lives. A:ok. Can you tell us in detail? B: Sure, for example, paper cups are made from cutting trees. We should try not to use them, or select the smaller ones when we do. We should use efficient light bulbs, and the lights should be turned off when not needed. D: That’s right, we know that all motorized travel is carbon-intensive. Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is the best. A:thank you. C:thank you. E:thank you. 7. Directions The panel--a group of two students--will answer questions raised by journalists or audiences (the rest of the group). The panel sits in the front facing the audiences. Audiences are encouraged to ask questions on “Internet of Things”.(专家:海涛，田帅;记者观众:王登月，高娴，汤裕。这个尽量但愿别抽到吧， 太不好说了，新闻发布会式的～) 张海涛:Well,everyone,we have shown our latest research achievement, now, You're welcome to ask any questions concerning the Internet of things. 高娴:Hello，Professor Tian，I’m the journalist from CUMT. You have show us the latest Internet of Things and its information services system(RFID-IS).but for public , they don’t have a clear concept ,could you give us an explanation shortly but clearly. 田帅:Ok，thanks for your question，The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. In short, we use line to connect the dots, so they become an integral part, a single whole. 汤裕:Professor Zhang，I’m the journalist from People's Daily". I wonder you say the IOT make our city live. Could you give us an explanation how is the "Internet of Things" turning cities into living organisms. 张海涛:I can show you example. With a little help from what's called the Internet of Things, engineers are transforming cities from passive conduits for water into dynamic systems that store and manage it like the tissues of desert animals. 王登月:what is the development of IOT across the globe? 张海涛:The term Internet of Things was first used by Kevin Ashton in 1999. The concept of the Internet of [2]Things first became popular through the Auto-ID Center and related market analysts publications. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is often seen as a prerequisite for the Internet of Things. If all objects of daily life were equipped with radio tags, they could be identified and inventoried by computers. However, unique identification of things may be achieved through other means such as barcodes or 2D-codes as well. 8. Directions: Work in groups and have a debate on the topic “Economic development or environmental protection?” 张海涛: I went back to my hometown last week. But guess what happened? 田帅: I don`t know. Has it been changed a lot? 张海涛: Oh,yes. I can`t believe it that my hometown has been polluted so heavily. The clean and fresh air no more exists.I cannot see the bottom of the river because of the water pollution. 高娴: I feel so sorry for you. How long have you left your hometown last time? 张海涛; About 1 years. I live in my uncle` house in Xuzhou. 王登月: The economy of China is developing rapidly. Many places including your hometown have new construction projects. The factories can bring considerable income for local government. 汤裕: But the factories also bring pollution. Is it so important that the factories must be built? 高娴: Yes. The industry is the best choice. 田帅: I don`t think so. We could develop tertiary industry, such as tourism. 王登月: Not all of the areas is suitable for tourism development. Some areas have abundant resources and they need to be exploited. 高娴: Oh, there are big problems between economic development and environmental protection. Which one shall we choose, the economy or the environment? 张海涛: In my mind, the environment is much important. We have only one earth, and the environment is formed tens of millions of years ago. Once the environment is damaged, it may take hundreds of years to recover and the cost will be huge. 田帅: Even so, the economy must come first. Our government always takes economic development as the central task. Economy develop can bring wealth for our nation and make it stronger. Once the nation become stronger, our people`s life will be much better. 王登月: Both of you are right. But there must be a way, I think, that can deal with the contradictions between environment protection and our economy development. 张海涛: The actual operation will be difficult. How can we do that? 高娴: Firstly, we must implement the "who polluted, who solves" principle. Secondly, the government should pay more money to help treat pollutions. And thirdly, we must introduce advanced technology and talents. It can help reduce the pollution from factories. : This tips really help a lot. You are so talented. 汤裕 王登月(smiles happily): Thanks. I often read newspaper in my spare time. 汤裕: I am considering writing a letter to the local government of my hometown, and maybe it can draw their attentions to protect the environment. 张海涛: Good idea. Now let`s go to the library and collect some information about the environment protection and economic development. 田帅、高娴: OK. Let`s go. 9.

Debate: Do you think love-based (liberal) marriage is more successful than arranged marriage? 正方(自由恋爱):田帅 王登月 汤裕VS 反方: 高娴 海涛 Good afternoon, everyone! We are here now debating about whether love-based marriage is more successful than arranged marriage. 正方陈词:登月:We think love-based marriage is more successful. I have three reasons to prove this point. First, in its long history, China has witnessed many tragic events arising from arranged marriages. Second, we all know true love is really difficult to meet. When it comes, we should gasps. When we get married because love, we will be very happy and have a enjoy life. Meet a person we loved, and get together, it’s everyone’s dream. Third, it is obvious to all that marriages based on love are more in conformity with human nature. 反方陈词:高娴:We agree love-based marriage is needed. But according to family psychology, arranged marriages are more successful. In an arranged marriage, the couple tries to tolerate the other. However, in a marriage that is based on love, when love is gone, the tolerance and passion will not be remained. The arranged couples have some kind of love (more of a gratitude for accepting each other and respect) but they don't hope for lots of romance in the relationship. So the relationships are very stable. Most of them are brought up in a traditional society. 自由辩论: 1、正方田帅:In the contemporary world, arranged marriages have almost disappeared. Many people prefer love marriage rather than arranged marriage in the world.Boys and girls go out on dates and gradually develop a love between them before they get married. 2、反方海涛:No, I found out, the couples have lots of love in the beginning but after a few years they feel no love between each other and feel that's a sign to say goodbye. 3、正方汤裕:But, love-based marriage make us live with happiness, and we can choose liberally, we can choose who we truly like. 4、反方高娴:I admire love can lead to happiness life. But, in a marriage, compromise is a factor that decides whether the marriage would work out or not. In case of love marriage, people might expect more from their partner, largely because they have fallen in love before marriage. This leads to lesser compromises. 5、正方汤裕:We didn’t go to extremes and claim that all arranged marriages are failures. We think love-based marriage can be more successful than arranged marriages. High risk that the person your parent chose for you may not be the right one for you. But in liberal marriages, we can go on date or have a girlfriend or boyfriend since there is already someone for you. 5、反方海涛:In the past 2000-plus years, most of the arranged marriages did survive, and some of the couples did develop real love after their marriages. But, now the divorce rate has kept rising. 正方田帅总结:Ok, I will summarize our opinions about economy development. Liberal marriage can make our life better and happy. We can live with someone we truly loved. We also think arranged marriage will take away our freedom of choice. The girl is forced to sacrifice their likes and adjust to the reality. There is no love in arranged marriage but only commitment. 反方海涛总结:let me give a conclusion for our opinions. The reality is that arranged marriages do last much longer, and almost all parties to an arranged marriage bestow its virtues. Arranged marriage has the family support, has lower divorce rate than love-based marriage. And there is no pressure in finding a marriage partner, because parents and relatives will help you. OK, this is our group debate. In the end, I want to say thanks to our teacher and our class. In the class, we learn to speak English bravely; we have a good time; we have some new and good friend. Thank you all of you! All the best for you! 共同鞠躬～ OK, this is our group debate. In the end, I want to say thanks to our teacher and our class.

He is good at cooking. To memory him, the park was built. And it has become an amusement park now. 王登月:It sounds fascinate! I must take the sky wheel when I go to the Pengzu Park! 汤裕:My favorite place is the Han tomb of Guishan, which is the tomb for Liuzhu and his wife, the sixth Prince and Princess of Chu State. Everything needed in daily life is founded in the tomb. And the famous Huaihai Battle took place in Xuzhou, during which the people of Xuzhou dedicated themselves with heart and soul. And now, there is a monument that commemorates the battle. 田帅:I am more interested in scenery. Is there some natural landscape? 汤裕:Of course! The most famous scenery in Xuzhou is the Yunlong lake.

Swimming is my favorite! 田帅:Are you sure you want to swim in winter? 张海涛:Oh, I forget it, but I am strong, that is no problem. 汤裕:Yes, you can go swimming and go boating in the lake, but you must care to ensure safety. 王登月:I saw some introductions of Xuzhou before. I remember beside the Yunlong Lake, there is the Yunlong Mountain. It get its name from the fact that, it looks like a dragon flying in the clouds. There are many tourist interest on it. Is that right? 张海涛:Yes, my parents has been to Xuzhou twice, they told me that from ancient times till today, many poets and painters have drawn to these parts and they all have praised the beauty of Yunlong Mountain in there paintings and works. 汤裕:What’s more, the China University of Mining and Technology is located at Xuzhou, the campus of which is very beautiful.
