2018年英语专业四级听力 对话1Conversation One对话1Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.根据对话1回答第一题到第五题。Hi,Bob. You speak very good Chinese.嗨，鲍勃。你的中文讲得很好。Not really, Mary. I just know a little. Actually, not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait or a particularly British characteristic. The British are generally considered to be lazy linguists. We just don't bother to learn another language.不，玛丽。我只会一点点。事实上，不会说外语是英国人的一个特点，或者是英国人的一个特别的特点。英国人通常被认为在学习外语方面比较懒惰。我们只是不想去学另一种语言。I guess the main reason is that when you travel around the world, you find that English is spoken almost everywhere.我想主要原因是你到世界的其他地方，会发现几乎所有的地方都说英语。Yes,yes. We get by. We survive on just using our mother language.是的，是的。我们勉强能对付过去。我们仅靠母语就生存。But you seem to love learning languages a lot. How many foreign languages can you speak?但是你似乎很喜欢学习语言，你能说多少种外语？Not that many. A bit of German, some French, Polish a little, Chinese of course, a bit of Japanese. That's about it.不是很多。一点德语，一点法语，一点波兰语，当然还有汉语，一点日语。仅此而已。I'm impressed. Well, what is the second most-spoken language in England? Is it Chinese?真惊人啊。那么，英国第二大语言是什么呢？是中文吗？No, I don't think so.不，我觉得不是。Then,that must be French.那一定是法语。No.According to the recent census, 104 different languages are spoken in the UK and Polish is the second most spoken language, followed by Punjabi and Urdu.不。根据最近的普查，英国有104种不同的语言，波兰语是第二大语言，其次是旁遮普语和乌尔都语。Then,do you have to learn a foreign language in school?那么，你在学校必须学外语吗？No,it's not compulsory. But recently a campaign was launched to encourage everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language. It hopes to help Britain increase international trade.不，不是强制性的。但最近发起了一项运动，鼓励英国人学习至少1000个外语单词，以期帮助英国增加国际贸易。1,000 words?1000个词？Yes.It's called the 1,000 Words Campaign because it says a vocabulary of 1,000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation.是的。它被称为“干词运动”，因为这个运动称掌握1000词可以与人进行简单的对话。That sounds like a good idea.听起来是个好主意。Yes.It gives you self-satisfaction and self-esteem if you can speak another language when you're travelling. And I think it also gives you an edge in a lot of different areas in the workplace. You feel good about learning a new skill and you feel good about yourself, and it boosts your confidence. Imagine going on a holiday to Spain and being able to speak to the locals.是的。如果你在旅行时会说一门外语，这会带给你自我满足和自尊。而且我认为它也让你在工作中的很多不同领域都有优势。学习一项新技能感觉很好，你自己也会很开心，这能增强你的信心。想象一下去西班牙度假，你可以和当地人交谈。Of course it does make one feel good.当然会让人感觉很好。And there are also the economic benefits of speaking another language. It gives you an advantage, especially if you are dealing with foreign companies.说外语也有经济上的好处。这是你的一个优势，尤其是当你和外国公司打交道的时候。Yes.It also shows politeness and respect for other people by showing you have made an effort.是的。它也说明你很努力，表现了你的礼貌和对他人的尊重。You're right. Mm, I'm afraid I must get going now. I'll have my Chinese class at 10 o'clock.你说的对。嗯，恐怕我得走了。我10点要上中文课。Oh, I have a class at 10 as well. OK, see you later.哦，我10点也有一节课。好吧，再见。See you.再见。Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.根据对话1回答第一题到第五题。1.According to the man, what is a British characteristic?问题1.根据男士的说法，英国人的特点是什么？2.What is the second most-spoken language in the UK?问题2.在英国，第二大语言是什么？3.Why was the 1,000 Words Campaign launched?问题3.为什么要发起“干词行动”？4.According to the man, which is not considered an advantage of learning a foreign language?问题4.根据男士的说法，哪一项不属于学习外语的优势？5.What's the most probable relationship between the man and the woman?问题5.对话中两个人最可能是什么关系？

Can you fart when you are with the person you love? And why not? Does your partner get offended when you let it rip? If you can't fart with the person who claims to love you, then what else must you keep inside? What else must you hold back so as not to offend your partner? Farting is one of the most natural things to do. Everybody does it. So why can't you do in the comfort of your home, in your safe space, where you're supposed to unwind and to relax? A person who judges and criticises you for farting in their presence will judge and criticise even your dreams. They will stifle you. I'm not talking here about farting at work and in the presence of every friend, this is about farting in your home, and being comfortable about it. There are few things more satisfying than farting, the release of feeling the gases escape from you, and if someone can tolerate you with your farts and the smell, then you must know that you are in safe hands. Have the fart conversation. And see what it reveals about the person you're with.

Our guest, Michelle E. Dickinson, is a Wellbeing Strategist and passionate mental health advocate. She is also a TEDx speaker and a published author of a memoir entitled Breaking Into My Life: Growing Up with a Bipolar Parent and My Battle to Reclaim Myself.  Michelle goes first and sees herself as the bridge that helps people get comfortable with their mental health so that they reach out and get the support they need before they hit a crisis. She makes it okay to not be okay and thrives on making a real difference in the lives of others – especially around their wellbeing.  After years of playing the role of child caregiver, Michelle embarked on her own healing journey of self-discovery. She went on to spend years working to eradicate the mental health stigma within her own workplace by elevating empathy and compassion, causing more open conversations, and leading real change in how mental illness is understood. She also knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with a mental illness after experiencing depression due to challenging life events. And this has provided her with a rich perspective.  Michelle is out to do her part to eliminate the stigma by normalizing the mental wellbeing conversation within the workplace and beyond. She partners with innovative leaders to bring them her Psychological Resilience programs and mental health strategies to recenter employees and cultivate cultures of compassion. Her signature Resilience webinar has made a positive impact on thousands of employees during COVID-19. Share this episode with those who are feeling overwhelmed by their work or life circumstances. Highlights Mental health awareness: Mental health is a topic so many of us are uncomfortable talking about. We have to turn up the volume about brain health and normalize the conversation. Courage: Some real courageous athletes and celebrities make mental health cool by admitting their own challenges and that it's okay to be human and talk about it.  Compassion: “Are you okay” can make all the difference for someone. Check in with people who are suffering and talk to them as they suffer in isolation and silence. Inclusivity: Be truly inclusive of people with all abilities so that they can be 100% themselves and accepted for what they are. Mental illness is no different than a physical illness.  Heart-centered leadership: It's important for leaders to cultivate trust that if they ask if someone is okay, they're getting the real story. You don’t have to fix it, you simply have to extend your heart to another human being. Game face: Let your guard down at work and take off that game face for a second.  Stress-management: Your mental well being should be your priority. If you feel the imbalance, get the support you need. Do what you need to do to nourish yourself. Authenticity: Our culture does not want us to be authentic. Find a culture that is supportive of anything you need.  Culture: Investigate the cultures of organizations. Look at how they're leading through their example and talk to other employees in terms of its authenticity. Mental health bias: We all come to the table with our own biases. It has to do with self-awareness and educating people so they can lead from a place of compassion. Empathy: Extend yourself without fear and give people the benefit of the doubt.  Journey: Look in the mirror and heal some of those pains and past experiences to become a better version of you. Unconditional love: Learn to separate the person from the illness. You can hate the illness, but don't hate the person.  Conversation: One in three Americans in the U.S. either have anxiety or depression. Then why are we not talking about it?  Be proactive: As employers, think about how you can keep your employees healthy instead of just watching your disability costs go up? Help them build psychological resilience. Endurance: It's a marathon, not a sprint. People don't take care of their well being and they hit burnout because they're not constantly nourishing themselves along the journey.  Loyalty: Breed loyalty in a time when it's so difficult for people and give them what they need so that they can stay focused and engaged. Leverage: There are so many people who have major depressive disorder who are killing it for their company. It's possible for you to be diagnosed and get the care you need. There's no shame. Leverage the talent you have!

As we dive into the month of love, let's talk about what love looks with the new FDM discipleship conversation series: "LOVE LIKE THIS." We start this month with the story of two women whose lives can encourage and inspire our own. Harriet Tubman and Harriet Beecher Stowe were women of God who lived their purpose in the 1800s and impacted millions of lives. Tosha Williams shares a little glimpse into their stories in this podcast.Isaiah 1:17 says, "Learn to do good! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, defend orphans, plead for the widow." Both Harriets did this with great courage and boldness in their day, giving us an example of how to do this in our own broken world. The discipleship conversation that goes along with this podcast can be found at "LOVE LIKE THIS: Do Good In Our World." Upcoming podcast episodes in this series will feature three Christian ministries and Scripture that show us other ways we can "LOVE LIKE THIS." _________________Family Disciple Me is an online 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry dedicated to "Make Christ Known and His Word Home."

This week we're taking a slightly different turn but it's still along the lines of people and stories. This week is mens health week and from family scares to friends experiencing serious complications it's just an area that you can't be too cautious. One area that hits closer to home than most and to be honest it feels a bit weird because I don't think I've ever said it aloud is Mental Health. I vividly remember at school, the area that would have the greatest impact on our lives in those early years post school would be car accidents. Fast forward and suicide was the number one reason I was attending funerals, and it was for men of all ages. Trade Mutt From stock camps to construction – Ed Ross has lived a lot of experiences. In 2018 he founded a business with his good mate Dan Allen called Trade Mutt. This story is one of a pretty cool journey and it has a long way to go, from a few funky work shirts to shifting the conversations around mental health from construction, to mining to farming. I tell you what these shirts are like nothing you have ever seen before! Mental health landscape has been segregated to be clouded in negativity, when in fact as Ed says – "we all have mental health and it's a spectrum from happiness, love and joy through to mental illness with depression and anxiety".

In this episode, Teri welcomes Rachel Batish, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Conversation.one. Teri and Rachel talk about the financial side of voice, voicebots and Rachel’s upcoming book.Welcome Rachel Batish!Back in Israel, her native country, Rachel studied Political Science and International Relations, in hopes of becoming a public servant. However, her love for words and interest in design and user experience had something else in store for her. Now in the US for the past three years, she is the co-founder and chief revenue officer of Conversation.one, a data management company for voice applications.What is Conversation.one?When Rachel started Conversation.one, she knew she wanted to create an impact in the financial sector. She knew that voice could bring something new to the table and that it could help financial organizations have better conversations with their clients. Rachel points out that, when you are using voice, you are screen-less and this forces you to create a real conversation. Despite some technical and linguistic hurdles along the way, Rachel says that her and her team have already figured out some of the most effective dialogues that work in a financial context.How does Conversation.one handle skills?Conversation.one is an open platform. There’s no need to download anything. Rachel says it was built with a strong visual and intuitive design so people who are not well-versed in coding can use it. Rachel highlight’s the platform’s ability to work across 8 platforms: Amazon Alexa; Google Assistant; Facebook (as a messenger chatbot); as your own chatbot or voicebot; as a texting solution; and, lastly, as part of your phone. According to Rachel, it’s great for simple use cases but it truly shines when it comes to more complex tasks.Can you speak about your upcoming book, Chatbot and Voicebot Design?When Rachel first sat down to write her table of contents, she was stumped. She didn’t think she would have enough material to cover it. However, after she started writing the book, and realizing just how much there was to cover in the field of Chatbot and Voicebot design, she actually ended up having to cut some information out. Over the last couple of years, she has learned how to design conversational solutions. Rachel has come to the conclusion that there are ten stages one must go through when creating a conversational solution, and they are detailed in the book. Rachel also covers information about how you need to create a persona for an effective conversational solution, in order to drive engagement and create brand recognition.List of resources mentioned in this episode:Voice in Canada: The Flash BriefingRachel’s LinkedInRachel’s TwitterChatbot and Voicebot Design BookTeri Fisher on TwitterAlexa in Canada on TwitterAlexa in Canada Facebook PageAlexa in Canada Community Group on FacebookAlexa in Canada on InstagramPlease leave a review on iTunesShopping on Amazon.caThe Alexa Conference, presented by VoiceFirst.FMuse promo code ALEXAINCANADA for 20% off See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
