park. There are many places for you to visit in the theme park, but I'm going to talk

special and you're allowed to do whatever you want.
B: I’m very excited
C: AW I know, I know, this will be fun!
D: Ah, great!
A: One of the most popular places you'll want to visit is the famous Jungle World. You
probably remember it from the movie. You'll ride an elephant through a ungle filled
with dinosaurs and scary animals. Then Vou'll walk through the dark cave of Jomon,
where you'll get on a boat that takes you down an underground river. The exciting part
happens when the boat goes down a 100-meter waterfall while you avoid the poison
darts of the angry jungle people.

A: No, no, poison darts. It means small arrows with poison on them-poison darts

just to name a few Your VIP passes allow you to pose with each character and take as
many photos as you want.

field and shoot lasers at the bad guys
C:Aw, tell us more!
B: Yes, come on!
A: Well, OK. I guess I can tell you this: you'll walk in space and become weightless for
two minutes
D, C: Wow!
B: I'm sorry, what does that mean?

B: So you mean l'll float in the air?
D: I told you this would be great! Zero-gravity

forgot! Make sure that you check out our limited-edition movie props

stick in The Wizard of Chocolate. Remember Wally's magic wand?

Chinese, especially all those kanji characters. Text messaging is new to me,
but I think it'll be a great experience

boyfriend online through one of those cyber-dating spaces Chatting online is
a lot of fun You get to know people very quickly, their real personalities, and
you're not thrown off by how people look. You get to know the REAL person.

Let's Chat, and I can be in two chat rooms at the same time Hopefully, I'll
find my new boytriend soon!
 4. When I'm not playing soccer or watching a live game on my computer these
days, I'm chatting about players and teams and the latest games with my
cyber friends It's crazy, but I've never even met most of them. I signed up
for an online service that puts me in touch with other soccer fans, and I

like a cartoon character you knowha, hah, aha, hahal She never asked me anything about
myself, you know it was just her her her the whole time. And then-get this- she takes out
her cell phone and calls a friend while I'm sitting right there I was so insulted, I said "Uh,
look, uh, I'm going to the Men's.

3. I know him from work. We've chatted in the break-room a few times. He's kind of
goofy but cute in a sweet way. He asked me to have lunch at a cafe near the office. We ate
hamburgers and hotdogs. He knocked over his glass of water with the menu. He apologized,
like, nine times and helped the waitress clean it up. He really seems genuine-he listens and
you can tell he's interested in what I'm talking about By the way we found out that we both
like basketball and outdoor sports like cycling. I'm gonna give it another shot next time
we'll go to the stadium to see a ball game.

UNIT10: HEALTH AND BODY

LISTENING

1. Hi, Dr. Sharma. This is Sean from London. You asked about our predictions for the
future of the human body, and I'm calling with mine. I think that in the next
 hundred years, we're going to see a breakthrough in microchips that can be put in
the human body. think that microchips will store information that can work with our
brains to improve human memory Instead of memorizing so many facts, wouldn't it
be great if we could just access information from a chip inside us?
2. Hi, Dr. S, love your show I'm Shelli from Georgia I predict that we'll see
improvements in beauty treatments. Cosmetic surgery is expensive and in high
demand In an aging society, I just know the technology will be here to make surgery
unnecessary. Soon pharmacies will have cheap over-the-counter products that will
replace surgery. For example, instead of going to the hospital to remove wrinkles,
we'll probably see more home kits for laser self-treatment. That's what I think.
3. My name is Thierry OK, here's my future prediction Life expectancy has doubled in
the last hundred years and t think it's going to double again. Lam.0ot talking about
living forever.of.course, just longer Through cloning of human cells, we'll be able to
make new body parts in laboratories These can replace old body parts maybe like
the heart and liver So what I am saying is that fighting aging will be the number one
priority of doctors and researchers in the years to come
4. Hi, Dr. Sharma, it's Kathleen from Down Under. I know some people think that
medical issues like aginag and beauty will be the focus of the future, but I think
we'll be more practical and use medical improvements to cure major diseases like
HIV, cancer, and influenza New medicines to fight diseasewhether we make them in
the laboratory.or find them in the plants of the Amazon rainforest-that will be our
greatest medical achievement of the future.

FURTHER LISTENING

1. A: OK there, Son, what seems to be the problem?

B:Well, Doc, I'm tired all the time. Sometimes it's hard for me to breathe
Iwalk up the stairs and I'm out of breath! And sometimes I get chest pains
after I eat a big meal
A:I'm not surprised-you're 50 pounds overweight Your cholesterol level is 330

B: Idon't understand it. I cut back to three pizzas a week
A: Trecommend that you don't eat pizza at all! No fast food for you at all, Son,
and I mean it. Eat a light dinner
B: No more pizza!? But ..
A: And you should not eat any food at all two hours before bedtime
B: Does that mean no more midnight snacks?
A: Yes, it does. And I also recommend that you start exercising three days a
week Alright? Any questions?
B: Don't you have some kind of medication you can give me to lower my
cholesterol?
A: There are a few but let's see what a healthy diet and exercise can do for
you before we consider any medical treatment, OK?
B: Ah, well, OK. You're the doc, Doc
2. A: I’m sorry to trouble you, Doctor, it’s just that I’ve been feeling so tired these
days
B: Are you getting enough sleep?
 A: yeah, six to seven hours every night, but it’s not a in my muscles and my
joints.... I also get headaches very easily
B: It sounds like you have a lot of stress. Are you working very hard?
A: No, I don't think it's that. I guess I'm worried about some personal matters.
In fact, I think about my problems all the time
B:think that stress is best controlled by taking care of your body You should
drink lots of water for headaches, and sometimes go get a good massage
A: Ooh! I like that
B: And 1recommend some sleeping medication Let's see how that works

3. A: OK, let's see say "Ah." Oh, my, a very red throat down there. How long has it
been hurting, you say
B: About three days. I feel like I'm gonna die. Wha-What is it? Just a cold?
A: Well, judging by your cough it sounds like a cold, but you said you've had a
fever too, right?
B:I've had the fever since last night But this coughhas been nonstop for days,
but it's just a cold, right
A: I'm afraid not. The fever tells me you've got some kind of infection that your
body's fighting don't know if it’s viral or bacterial, but it tooks like the flu. I
advise you to stay in bed for the next two days.

product
C: Hi, this is Thad from the U.S live a busy life just like you Ijust never had time to work on
how I look but looks DO matter, don't they? So when I heard about Soma Tube, I was
skeptical. A machine you put your body in that improves your looks while you sleep? Come on!
Well, I'll tel ya, just two weeks of using it changed my mind! My muscles got bigger and I
got stranger! Anyway thanks to SomaTube, women see me for the handsome hunk that I
really am! Ihave a date with a different woman every night
D: My name is Apollonia, and i too doubted the effectiveness of SomaTube. A machine that
makes you more beautiful while you sleep is the stuff of-how do you say it?-science fiction,
isn't it? That's how I thought until I experienced the wonders of SomaTube for myself

just about a month, it's made my long blonde hair grow! AND it gave me a deep, rich tan, so
it looks like I've been vacationing on the French Rivieral In other words, thanks to
SomaTube, I look exactly as beautiful as I truly am, and I get invited to all kinds of parties
with the rich and famous!

SomaTube. I saw it advertised on American TV, so I was completely convinced that it could
never be fraudulent I used the SomaTube for one thing only: To lose weight. I was a hefty
120 kilos just six months ago. But today, because of SomaTube's advanced sweating setting,
I am a slim and healthy 72 kilos At any rate, now that I am thin, I was able to get a better
job. It must be the SomaTube because learned on TV that only skinny people can be
successful.
A: And finally, Debbie from the U.K.
F: I ordered it as soon as I saw it on the television, and put it together as soon as it got
here. And let me tell you, SomaTube has changed my life! I haven't the faintest clue how it

nights! Anyway, people tell me how great I look, and I'm delighted when people ask me to
