Section 1 What’s the Story (Script for Reference)

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat, and I was really looking forward to the show. They play was very interesting, but I didn’t enjoy it. A young man and a woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly the whole time. I got very angry and looked at the man and the woman several times angrily. They ignored me. In the end, I couldn’t bear it. I turned around again. “I can’t hear a word!” I said angrily. “it’s none of your business,” the young man said rudely. “this is a private conversation!”

Section 1 What’s the Story (Script for Reference)

Afterwards, I spoke to the manager. He apologized for the rude couple, but he wouldn’t refund my money. He said I should have complained to him during the play and he would have talked to the couple. I’m still mad that spent all that money to go to the theatre and I didn’t even enjoy my time there.

Further Listening and Speaking FYI

1965 年第一家星期五餐厅（即“ T.G.I. FRIDAY’S” ）在纽约第一大道和 63 街的交叉口处开业。 30 多年之后， Friday’s 已经在几十个国家里开了 700 多家分店，而且还在以每七天开一家店的速度前进。

1995 年 12 月，美国星期五餐厅开始在中国分享餐厅的快乐和成功，如今在北京，上海等地，都可以看见那令人醒目的红白相间的星期五标旗。


A sit-down restaurant is a type of restaurant which provides tables where one sits down to eat the meal, typically served by wait-staff. Historically called simply restaurants, following the rise of fast food and take-out restaurants, a retronym for the older "standard" restaurant was created. Most commonly, "sit-down restaurant" refers to a casual dining restaurant with table service rather than a fast-food restaurant where one orders food at a counter. Sit-down restaurants are often further categorized as "family-style" or "formal".


sit-down restaurant= 一般指比较好的餐厅，需付小费有服务生。（请比较麦当劳那种自助式快餐）

drive-in restaurant 停车场餐厅。以贩卖传统美式食物为主，客人停车购买食物后，就直接在车上食用，是五十年代常见的餐厅营业模式，现在也常见提供大型停车场，让顾客在店内用餐的形式

neighborhood restaurant= 一般指家附近很熟悉的小餐馆

Section 2 A Film Clipping


Script for reference Throughout human history, they have descended from

the sky, bearing wisdom and superior technology. Also its ship. Their ships have apparently been caught on film again and again, though never completely convincing.

And now these deviate aliens are snatching citizens of the earth and doing unspeakable things to them, according to thousands of Americans who claimed to have been abducted by UFOs.

“They are so ugly. This is terribly intrusive.”



Script for reference “People have sperm taken, eggs taken, fetuses

implanted in them, removed from them.” “Scientists don’t take reports of alien abductions

seriously because there is no physical evidence. There is no physical evidence because they don’t actually exit.”

Far extraterrestrials really come into earth and interfering with human affairs, or even interbreeding with us. Examine the most compelling evidence of UFO visitations, with believers and skeptics alike.



Script for reference You can see clearly a shining object, looks mataline. Mu

ch of what people believe in UFOs and alien abductions is cultural, it’s psychological. It’s not out there, it’s in here.

You decide. As science and super nature collide in our crowded skies.

“J* an alien saucer are approaching from the sky. Radio contact has been attempted and cannot be established. Instructions are to prepare for an attack by an unknown enemy.”



Script for reference Our modern love-hate relationship with unidentified flyin

g objects and their alien pilots has been going on for more than 50 years now. But some people think that aliens have been around far longer than we have, that indeed they’ve given our evolution the occasional shove in the right direction.

How else could the ancients construct, say, the great pyramids of Giza, or the giant Nazca lines of Peru, which only make sense from the sky? How was it possible that Iron Age Europeans drew a humanoid in a spacesuit?



Script for reference “This proves just they have found the way to come to

the air, they could be more intelligent than we are.” “Sure it’s possible that aliens came down and helped the

ancient Egyptians build the pyramids. But the problem is there’s no evidence for this. The assumption that humans aren’t smart enough to figure this out is frankly insulting.”



Words for reference deviate vi. 背离 , 偏离 v. 偏离 a. 脱离常规的，异常的

abduct vt. 诱拐 , 绑架fetus n. 胎儿extraterrestrial adj. 地球外的 , 宇宙的 n.. 外星人interbreed v.( 使 ) 异种交配 , ( 使 ) 混种 , ( 使 ) 杂种繁殖shove n.< 口 > 推 , 挤 vt.< 口 > 推挤 , 猛推 , 强使 vi. 推humanoid adj. 有人的特点的 n. 类人动物
