ZW: Hello Robert. Whats that book youre carrying?RB: A book that helps you identify a flower. ZW: I see. Why do you want that?RB: Well, Ive found this lily. It looks different to me. So I want to find out if its new or not. Our biology teacher told me that if its already known, Id find it in this book. ZW: Wow! So you think you may have found a new lily?RB: I hope so, but I have to do some research first to find out for sure. ZW: What happens if its in the book? RB: It means that somebody else has found it and named it. Then Ill know its biological name. ZW: What do you mean by the biological name?RB: Actually like us a flower has two names. The first is the group of flowers it belongs to-like a family name. A rose is one such group. The second is the kind of flower-like a given name. It may describe what the rose looks like; for example, the color of an autumn sunset. Together you get the flowers name, which is Rose Autumn Sunset. ZW: Gosh!

ZW: What was that?RB: Before him nobody could tell if a plant was new, as there was no way of checking. Therere so many plants, you see! ZW: Yes, I appreciate that!

Thank you for coming to talk to me about the attack that was planned for November 6th. It was so lucky you escaped.KJ: Yes. I was very upset of course. I couldnt believe that anyone would want to kill me. What did I ever do to Guy Fawkes and his friends?CS: But, sir, you are the person who caused this problem by changing your mind. First of all you let the Catholics practice their religion safely. Then you said it was no longer allowed. You must have known they would get upset.KJ: Please try to understand my difficulty. I thought there were only a few Catholics in the country. CS: Why did you think so?KJ: Well, because only a few people were put in prison every year for not going to the Protestant church.CS: I see. So you thought those people were the only Catholics?KJ: Yes. Part 2KJ: When I relaxed the law there seemed to be so many Catholics that I felt Id done the wrong thing. I got frightened. I worried they might want England to be a Catholic country.CS: Does that matter?KJ: Oh yes. All our friends are Protestant countries and all our enemies were Catholic ones.CS: Mm! Did you ask Fawkes and Catesby if that was what they wanted? KJ: No.CS: So the attack was planned. Actually you brought about what you wanted to avoid. What did you learn from it?KJ: I should have talked to the Catholics. If Id done that there wouldnt have been an attack because they would have been able to explain their point of view peacefully.CS: Thank you, sir. Goodbye.KJ: Goodbye.Unit 3 page23CAN PEOPLE REALLY LIVE ON MARSLI Qiang(LQ) is interviewing Walker Hiller(WH) on the space station about his idea for building a new town called “Wonderworld” on Mars.LQ: Well, Mr Hiller Why did you think of building a new town on Mars?WH: It sounds astonishing, doesnt it? I imagine that itll be difficult and the atmosphere, gravity, and climate will have to be just like the earth or nobody will travel there.LQ: Can you imagine how thatll be achieved?WH: Yes, I think so. The atmospheres too hot and has no oxygen. So people couldnt breathe Mars air and live. Well make a covered area for people to live in with a special air supply.LQ: Is it likely you can find and use water to keep the climate similar to that on the earth?WH: Perhaps. We hope theres water under the planets surface. People will have to collect all the used water so it can be cleaned and recycled as rain. Then it can be used again to water plants and crops and provide clean drinking water.LQ: Yes. I suppose everyone will have to put their dirty water in special tanks. Even animals will have to be trained to go to the toilet in special places.WH: Yes, I suppose so.LQ: So is it likely that bacteria will clean the water?WH: Well, thats a possibility.LQ: I wonder if the houses can be made strong enough against the gravity on Mars?WH: Yes, they can. The robots will provide special building material.LQ: Still life sounds quite uncomfortable. So whats the advantage of going to live on Mars?WH: There will be opportunities for scien-tific work and to look for gold or other metals. So people may become rich or famous.LQ: How healthy will the people be, I wonder?Workbook unit3 page 55THE DANGERS OF UNDERSEA LIVINGLi Qiang (LQ) is interviewing the designer of Saturation City, William Lee (WL), about how he saved Saturation City from disaster.Part 1LQ: What happened?WL: Well, about three months ago I was doing my monthly check on the gates when I noticed something strange.LQ: What did you notice?WL: It was too quiet. When I stepped off the shuttle-submarine the air machines should have been making a loud noise but they werent.LQ: So was that your first feeling that something was wrong?WL: Yes. Then I found that the solid steel gates to the city wouldnt open. At first I wasnt too worried as there is a backup system in case things go wrong. When that didnt work either, I realized we had two serious problems.Part 2LQ: Did you tell the families in Saturation City? WL: No. I examined the air machine to see if I could repair it and almost immediately I found the cause of the problem.LQ: What was it?WL: A screen broke during an undersea storm and stopped the machine. Luckily I had another screen in my toolbox. Once fixed, the air machine was as good as new.LQ: Did it solve the problem?WL: Yes, it did. As soon as I repaired the air machine, the gates began to open. Then I went inside to check on the families. They were fine. They hadnt noticed anything wrong.LQ: And now youve been made a hero?WL: Yes. But I dont feel like one. Its my job to make them feel safer.LQ: What a modest answer! I think they appreciated your devotion to duty. Thank you and goodbye, Mr Lee, medal holder of the Red Star, First Class!Unit 4 page31 CAN I HELP YOU?Zhou Yang (ZY) is hoping to interview Liu Ming, a famous tennis player, about his decision to work abroad.
