Her eyes, cheeks, and lips.
b. Her lips,
chin, and nose.

Notes
1.
brain-dead: The brain of a person who is brain-
dead has completely ceased
functioning, as
evidenced by absence of brain activity on an
electroencephalogram
for a specific length of
time. Brain death is sometimes used as a legal
definition of
death. The significant point is
that the brain is no longer capable of sustaining
the
rest of the body's systems without
artificial life support.

Parisien: A French daily newspaper covering both
international and
national news, and local
news of Paris and its suburbs. It is the best-
selling national
newspaper in France.
Transcript
Doctors in France
have carried out the first partial face
transplant. They took the
nose, lips, and chin
from a woman who was declared brain-dead and used
them to
repair the face of another woman. The
thirty-eight-year-old French woman who
received the tissue had been severely injured
in the face by her dog.
Last week the
newspaper Le Parisien published a few comments
that it said she
made by telephone from her
hospital bed. The woman, identified only as
Isabelle D.,
said she was
peace.
There were still questions, however, about how the
woman came to be injured by
her dog earlier
this year. Some news reports have said she tried
to kill herself with
sleeping pills. There
have been suggestions that her Labrador retriever
was just trying
to wake her. Her doctors have
said repeatedly that she did not try to kill
herself. The
dog was put to death.
Medical progress has made it possible for several
years now for doctors to
transplant faces. But
this is the first time they have performed the
operation on a living
patient. Doctors at the
Cleveland Clinic in the United States had been
expected to
perform the first operation.
Many doctors, however, say they will not perform a
face transplant. There are
medical and moral
issues. Medical experts note that a person does
not need a face to
survive. Many people wonder
how patients would react when they see someone
else's
face on their body. A face is an
important part of a person's identity.
Item 2
1) Listen to the report and choose
the best answer to the following question.
Which of the following is the most serious
example of plagiarism?
(c)
a. Stealing
another person's words as your own.
b.
Cheating in an examination.
c. Buying a whole
paper from someone.
d. Copying sentences from
a book without giving credit.
2) Now listen to
the report again and choose the best answer to the
following
question.
Which of the
following punishments for plagiarism is NOT
mentioned?
(a)
a. Being expelled from
school forever.
b. Being given a failing
grade on the paper or in the course.
c. Being
taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages.
d. Having the student's degree withdrawn.

Transcript
Plagiarism is the
act of representing another person's words or
ideas as your own.
The offense may be as small
as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as
extensive as a whole paper copied
—
or
bought
—
from somebody else.
Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only
difference now is that the Internet
has made
it much simpler to steal other people's work. Yet
the same technology that
makes it easy to find
information to copy also makes it easier to
identify plagiarism.
Teachers can use
online services that compare papers to thousands
of others to
search for copied work. The
teacher gets a report on any passages that are
similar
enough to suspect plagiarism. These
services are widely used. , for
example, says
it is used in more than one hundred countries and
examines more than
130,000 papers a day.
Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken
to civil court and ordered to pay
damages. In
schools, the punishment for cheating could be a
failing grade on the paper
or in the course.
Some schools expel plagiarists for a term; others,
for a full academic
year. Some degrees have
even been withdrawn after a school later found
that a student
had plagiarized.
Item 3
1) Listen to the report and choose
the best answer to the following question.
Which of the following about the shocking news
is NOT true?
(a)
a. Emperors Club VIP
operated in six big cities in the USA.
b. The
governor spent tens of thousands of dollars on sex
services.
c. The governor has resigned.
d. The governor had impressed the public as a
crime fighter.
2) Now listen to the report
again and choose the best answer to the following
question.
What will the governor most
probably be charged with, according to legal
experts?
(c)
a. Paying for a high-
priced sex service as Client Nine.
b.
Operating Emperors Club VIP in many cities.
c. Moving large amounts of money from two banks
for sex services.
d. Bringing a 22-year-old
woman into a hotel in New York for immoral
purposes.
Transcript
This
week, America's attention was directed away from a
tight presidential race
and troubled economy.
The nation watched the fall from power of a
politician widely
considered a hero.
The news of New York Governor Eliot
Spitzer's use of prostitutes shocked many
because of his image as an aggressive crime
fighter. He resigned Wednesday, two days
after
reports linked him to a high-priced sex service.
Last week, the government charged four
people with operating Emperors Club
VIP. Court
papers say it operated in Los Angeles, Miami, New
York and Washington, as
well as London and
Paris.
Federal law enforcement officials
say the governor was known as Client Nine and
was recorded on telephone wiretaps. They say
he paid to have a twenty-two-year-old
woman
travel from New York to meet him at a Washington
hotel last month.
A century-old law, the
Mann Act, makes it a federal crime to bring people
across
state lines for immoral purposes. But
if Eliot Spitzer faces any charges, legal experts
say they would more likely involve how the
services were paid for, not the services
themselves.
Federal officials say
they began investigating him after two banks last
year
reported suspicious activity in the way
he was moving large amounts of money around.
That investigation, they say, led them to the
Emperors Club, where reports say he may
have
spent tens of thousands of dollars.
Notes
1. Eliot Spitzer: The Eliot Spitzer
prostitution scandal began on March 10, 2008, when
The New York Times reported that Democratic
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had
patronized
a prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP.
This ultimately led him to
announce his
resignation as governor on March 12, effective
March 17.

Script
Ellen:
Lunch, Miss.
Elisabeth: Thank you, Ellen. Put
it on the table.
Ellen: Will that be all,
Miss?
Elisabeth: Yes. Thank you, Ellen. Do you
want your lunch?
Ellen: One. Two.
Elisabeth: If you won't eat, then neither will
I.
Louisa: I'm cold.
Elisabeth: So am I.
Louisa: I hate you.
Elisabeth: Hate me if
you want, but you must obey me.
Louisa: I
won't. I'd die first.
Elisabeth: How will you
die?
Louisa: I
’
ll drown myself in the
lake.
Elisabeth: How will you make your body
stay underwater?
Louisa: It just will.
Elisabeth: No, it won't. Bodies float. You
could put stones in your pockets. Do you
have
any pockets?
Louisa: Don't talk to me.
Elisabeth: Or you could get a good strong bag
and fill it with pebbles.
Louisa: I said,
don't talk to me.
Elisabeth: What do you do in
the lake house?
Louisa: If you come near it,
I'll kill you, I'll murder you.
Elisabeth:
How?
Louisa: With a knife. I'll stab you in
the heart.
Elisabeth: Yes, that would do it.
Louisa: It would. You'd be dead.
Elisabeth: You'd have to bury me.
Louisa:
I won't. I'd just leave you.
Elisabeth: I'd
rot. I'd smell.
Louisa: Serves you right. What
are these stupid lessons, anyway?
Elisabeth:
Louisa loves Papa. Louisa loves grass. Louisa eats
grass. Sheep eat grass.
Papa loves sheep. You
see? It's not hard. Do you know about firelight?
Louisa: What about it?
Elisabeth: It's a
kind of magic. Firelight makes time stand still.
When you put out the
lamps and sit in the
firelight's glow, there aren't any rules anymore.
You can do what
you want. Say what you want.
Be what you want. And when the lamps are lit
again,
time starts again. Everything you said
or did is forgotten. More than forgotten. It
never happened.
Louisa: I can do what I
want?
Elisabeth: Yes.
Louisa: I want to
go.
Elisabeth: Then go. It's been unlocked
since lunchtime.
Section Two
Your turn
Work in pairs. One person acts as a
tutor, and the other a pupil. You're in conflict.
The dialogue should
include three parts: the
cause, the process, and the resolution. You may
refer to the following
outline:
1.
The spoiled pupil feels so tired of the tutor's
requirements that he she begins to play with his
her new mp4 player;
2. The tutor takes the
player away from the pupil;
3. The annoyed
pupil starts calling the tutor names;
4. The
tutor, by taking himself herself as an example,
impresses the pupil;
5. The pupil expresses
his her desire to follow the tutor's example.
Reference answer
：
Tutor: Now we
go on with the questions on the text. Are you
following me? Oh, playing with your
mp4
player? What's the game? Let me show you how to
win the game.
Pupil: Can you? You're talking
big. Show me your skill then.
Tutor: OK, I'll
keep the player for you till the lesson is over.
Then I'll show you.
Pupil: You're a liar, a
big liar. You cheated me!
Tutor: It was not
cheating. I will show you, but only after we've
finished the lesson.
Pupil: You're from the
country, aren't you?
Tutor: Yes?
Pupil:
Then you are poor, I suppose?
Tutor: So what?
Pupil: I don't have to do what you say.
You're nothing but a poor girl from the country.
Tutor: Stop being so rude and do just as you
are instructed to, and no more nonsense!
Pupil: Country girl. Poor student. Country
girl. Poor student.
Tutor: That's enough! Be
silent! You will obey me, whether you want to or
not. You will not speak
disrespectfully or
raise your voice in front of me. I am from the
poor countryside but I'm more than
a poor
country girl. I've worked through college with
straight A's in all my courses and next term I'll
be on my way to an American university for
studies with a scholarship. You're a city boy, but
that
won't make any difference if you prefer
to play rather than study. Your parents can't
guarantee your
future and your future is what
you make it. That's why I don't allow you to play
when you're having
lessons. Do you understand?
Pupil: Yes. But why are you taking the
trouble to tell me all this?
Tutor: Because I
like you. I consider you my little friend, though
too young and sometimes too
naughty to be a
good student.
Pupil: Do you believe I can do
as well as you when I grow up?
Tutor: Sure, if
only you believe in me and yourself.
Pupil:
I do. Thank you, Miss.
