My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel,
and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in
1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high.
I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country.

Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them.
The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There
simply wasn’t enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a
striking glass pyramid in the building’s center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an
angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it
was just an ugly, modern mistake.
现代建筑：我们爱他们，我们恨他们
巴黎世界著名的卢浮宫已经有近50 0年的历史了，它面临着一个非常现代的问题：每年都没有足够的空间容纳
600万游客。1989年， 美国建筑师贝聿铭在建筑中心设计了一个引人注目的玻璃金字塔，作为游客的入口和购物

Kyoto, Japan, is the country’s ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for
the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest
part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was
built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city’s traditional look. On the other hand,
supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.
日本京都是日本的古都，也是日本文化的中 心。它的火车站太小了，不能容纳数百万的游客。1997年，该市

Microsoft Corporation is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses,
and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington,
USA, its best selling flagship products are the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite.
Microsoft ships products to Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It manages branch offices in more than 60 countries. It
has nearly 90,000 employees in 105 countries by 2008.

the home computer operating system market with MS-DOS. Since 1985, Microsoft has released an upgrading line of
Windows operating systems featuring a friendly user interface. The latest one, Windows Vista, was released in

A different kind of holiday: shop less, live more!
另一种度假方式：少购物，多生活！
Advertising is everywhere. It’s on race cars and subway trains, on T-shirts and billboards. Every day, you see
hundreds of ads, and each advertiser wants you to buy their product. But do we really need all these products?
广告无处不在。在赛车、地铁、T恤衫和广告牌上。每天，你看到 数百个广告，每个广告商都想让你购买他们
的产品。但我们真的需要 所有这些产品？
A group in Canada says “No.” In 1991, they stared an event called Buy Nothing Day, to protest against
consumerism and waste. Every year, on the last Friday in November, no one should spend any money for 24 hours.
The event has spread to over 15 countries around the world, including Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
加拿大的一个团体说“不 ”。1991年，他们发起了一场名为“不买东西日”的活动，抗议消费主义和浪费。每年
11月的最后 一个星期五，24小时内任何人都不花钱。该活动已蔓延到世界各地的15个国家，包括日本、澳大利亚
和英国。
In the United States, Buy Nothing Day takes place on the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. This is usually the
busiest day of the year in department stores and shopping malls. Traditionally, it’s the first day of the Christmas
shopping season, when Americans buy gifts for family and close friends.
在美国，感恩节后的星期五是不买东西的日子 。在百货公司和购物中心，这通常是一年中最繁忙的一天。传统
上，它是圣诞节购物季的第一天，美国人 给家人和密友买礼物。
However, this “season” has grown longer every year. Now some stores put up their Christmas window displays
in the middle of October, and Americans are pressured to buy gifts for every one of their relatives, for all of their
coworkers, and for everyone they do business with. Many people feel that they are forgetting the real significance of
the holidays, because companies just want them to spend more money.
然而，这个“季节”每年都在增长。现在，一些商店在十月中旬挂上了圣诞橱窗，美国人被迫为他们的每一个圣< /p>

诞窗买礼物。 对他们所有的同事来说，对他们做生意的每一个人来说都是如此。许多人觉 得他们忘记了假期的真
正意义，因为公司只想让他们花更多的钱。
Of course, Buy Nothing Day supporters don’t want to change just one day. They want the change to continue all
year. But if we take a break from shopping on one day, we can start thinking about what we really need in life.
Michael Smith, British organizer of Buy Nothing Day, says: “Our message is clear: Shop less, live more!”
当然，“什么都不买”的支持 者不想只改变一天。他们希望这种改变能持续一年。但是，如果有一天我们不再购
物，我们就可以开始思 考我们生活中真正需要的东西。英国购物日组织者迈克尔·史密斯说：“我们的意思很清楚：
少购物，多 生活！”

B. Listen to the talk about advertising, “Ad or no ad?” Complete the statements.

Ad or no ad?
听一听关于广告的演讲，“广告还是没有广告？”完成陈述。
广告还是没有广告？
Is advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s
a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products, and make money!
广告真的有必要吗？每年都有数十亿美元花在这上面，所以它一定很重要。毕竟，这是一个繁忙的世界。 你必
须做广告，销售产品，赚钱！
Not every company thinks that way. The NO-AD company (“no-ad” stands for “not advertised”) avoids big
advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960 and is successful today. Their products are still affordable
because the company saves money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol
awareness program to educate high school students.
不是每个公司都这么想的。非 广告公司(“无广告”代表“未广告”)避免了大规模的广告宣传活动。该公司成立于
1960年，今天 取得了成功。他们的产品是 因为公司节省了广告费用，所以仍然可以负担得起。他们还用自己的积
蓄来 支持一个提高对毒品和酒精的认识的计划来教育高中生。
NO-AD sells by word of mouth. “Word-of-mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person
about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or
colleague. And so a chain of information is created.
非广告靠口碑销售。“口碑式广告”发生在一个人告诉另一个人对一个产品或服务的 良好体验时。第二个人告诉
另一个朋友，法 迈利成员或同事。于是，一条信息链就被创造出来了。
Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Students show that
our product is the best,” or “Everyone loves this product,” it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more
believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to
us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.
通常，广告商会谈论他们的产 品有多好。虽然他们说，“学生们表明我们的产品是最好的”，或者“每个人都喜欢
这个产品”，但这听 起来可能是不真诚的，也可能是不真实的。 很有说服力。听别人说一件产品时，如果有人没有
生产它， 那就更可信了。我们的朋友的意见对我们非常重要，所以我们经常听取他们对产品的建议。
Word- of-mouth advertising has other advantages, too. It’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free) and a company
doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about
word-of-mouth advertising:

口碑广告也有其他优势。这是符合成本效益的(毕竟，它是 免费的)，公司不需要创造一个复杂的商业计划来做
到这一点。这是一些关于小巴士的建议。 口碑广告：
 Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry
business cards.

然而，他们的电影也引发了批评。一些不喜欢Three Stooges的人坚持认为他们太暴力了。 在一

The challenges faced by all child protection caseworkers are is often not so
obvious are the many rewards a caseworker career often ask why anybody in their right
mind would want to be a child protection caseworker,habitually dealing with the most disadvantaged
and troubled families in their rkers routinely come across disturbing cases of child
abuse and neglect,and clients who are not a caseworker means being an agent of
positive change,especially when the welfare sector is not just a job to you,but a professional vocation.
Child protection is a difficult and challenging career path to follow,but the rewards do
of our caseworkers choose this career path out of a desire to contribute to the be part
of a process can ultimately change a family’s life,and caseworkers may witness their intervention
equip a young person so that his or her future prospects are course,this does not occur
with every when it happens,it is a rewarding if you are wondering
whether this experience makes the job worthwhile,the answer is YES!
A good indicator of how outside people look at the caseworker career has been the feedback
from university 2006 there were 118 students on placements of caseworker

they have had to apply theory to practice;the many chances of learning new skills and trying new

儿童保护个案工作者所面临的挑战是显而易见的。为儿童个案工作者提供的许多奖励通常也不是

那么明显。人们经常问为什么一个头脑健全的人会想成为一名儿童保护案例工作者。儿童个案 工作者
习惯性地处理最弱势的群体以及困扰他们社区的家庭。工作人员经常会遇到令人不安的虐待儿童和 忽
视儿童的案例，以及不合作的客户。作为案例工作者意味着成为积极变革的代理人，尤其是当福利部< br>门不仅仅是一份工作时，还一个专业的职业的时候。
儿童保护是一项困难且具有挑战性的职业道 路，但奖励确实存在。我们的许多案例工作者都是出
于为社区做出贡献的愿望选择职业道路。作为一个过 程的一部分，最终可以改变一个家庭的生活，并
且个案工作人员可以目睹他们的干预措施让一个年轻人变 得更好，以使他或她的未来前景得到改善。
当然，不是每次干预都会发生这种情况。但是当它发生时，这 是一种有益的体验。如果你想知道这段
经历是否让这份工作值得，答案是肯定的！
外部人员如 何看待个案工作者的职业生涯的一个很好的指标是来自大学生的反馈。2006年，有
118名学生参与 了个案工作者的职业安置。那些完成了儿童保护工作的学生告诉我们这是他们把理论
应用到实践的好机会 ；工作中有许多学习新技能和尝试新任务的机会；通过培训获得的知识；以及熟
