I.Warm up Exercises:
1.Have you ever read the famous novel “Fortre Beieged”,written by
Ch‟ien Chung-shu?
Marriage is a litter mysterious to every one.As the novel reveals, a marriage seems to be a fortre besieged, people inside it are eager to get out of it to search for more freedom, but on the contrary, people outside try their best to step into it to pursuer so-called happine.What is the marriage.It is very difficult to give definition to it.When it comes to marriage, no one can make clear what‟s right or what‟s wrong.2.What are your standards in choosing a spouse? You are still young and unmarried, so you must have in your mind the image of an ideal husband or wife.Most young people like to indulge in fantasies, and your image may take the form of a certain famous stars in different fields.But if you are of a practical turn of mind, your “ideal” would be more down to earth, and your “image” would be modeled after what you see around you.Though images do not always coincide with realities(for after all, an ideal is an ideal), it is neverthele an interesting subject for our study.If you go over the newspapers, you definitely find the matrimonial ads in which different persons state some exact standards in the hope of finding Mr.Right or Mi.Right.As for standards for choosing the spouses, you may not see eye to eye with one another.Now let‟s take public opinion poll.1)Please take out a piece of paper and then write down three factors you attach much importance to while choosing your spouse.2)Please rank the different factors according to this investigation.3)Draw the finally conclusion.In order of importance, boys put great emphasis on:
girls put great emphasis on:
3.What do you think is the base of the good marriage?
Love, I think.The Chinese old saying says, “Love is blind.(In the eye of the lover, his beloved is a beauty.)” If the persons fall in love, they must be eager to have marriage.Marriage is the result and extension of love.A marriage without love is like hell in which the couple suffer for the rest of their lives.A marriage without love is worse than being single.Romantic love will enable the couple to conquer any difficulties in their life together.A marriage based on love tends to create a happy and harmonious atmosphere in the family which is good for the development of the couple and even their children.A happy marriage can help one to achieve more in one‟s career.It is true that some other factors are also needed for keeping the marriage long-lasting, such as mutual respect, mutual understanding, a sense of responsibility.4.How should the couples deal with their differences?
Some people claim that marriage is the ending/grave of love.You know, each individual is unique and differences between husband and wife are therefore unavoidable.It is the worst way to quarrel with each other, because both of them will be hurt.Quarreling can do nothing but create the relationship crisis.If the couple quarrel constantly, their marriage is likely to end in divorce.In order to resolve this problem, a modern couple in the following interview have worked out a fresh idea which may surprise most of people.Is this settlement good for marriage? You decide!

III.Part A: Pre-listening Task
More information of the questions.1)What will cause stre?
in psychology and biology, any strain or interference that disturbs the functioning of an organism.The human being responds to physical and psychological stre with a combination of psychic and physiological defenses.If the stre is too powerful, or the defenses inadequate, a psychosomatic or other mental disorder may result.--------www.daodoc.com
We are all familiar with the word “stre”.Stre is when you are worried about getting laid off your job, or worried about having enough money to pay your bills, or worried about your mother when the doctor says she may need an operation.In fact, to most of us, stre is synonymous with worry.If it is something that makes you worry, then it is stre.Your body, however, has a much broader definition of stre.TO YOUR BODY, STRESS IS SYNONYMOUS WITH CHANGE.Anything that causes a change in your life causes stre.It doesn't matter if it is a “good” change, or a “bad” change, they are both stre.When you find your dream apartment and get ready to move, that is stre.If you break your leg, that is stre.Good or bad, if it is a CHANGE in your life, it is stre as far as your body is concerned.Even IMAGINED CHANGE is stre.(Imagining changes is what we call “worrying”.)If you fear that you will not have enough money to pay your rent, that is stre.If you worry that you may get fired, that is stre.If you think that you may receive a promotion at work, that is also stre(even though this would be a good change).Whether the event is good or bad, imagining changes in your life is streful.Anything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE is streful.Anything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR BODY HEALTH is streful.IMAGINED CHANGES are just as streful as real changes.2)Do you feel streed? Have you had any of the following things happen to you during the past year? If so, simply circle one of the numbers following each of those items.Score only the items which apply to you.IV.Part B Listening Tasks:
