Unit 13 Rainy days make me sad.
[00:06.19]SECTION A
[00:10.32]1b Listen.What do Amy and Tina think of the two restaurants?
[00:55.09]2a Listen and number the pictures[1-4]in the order that you hear them.
[01:53.63]2b Listen again and check the things that Tina and John said.
[02:51.89]3a Read this article.Then write answers to the questions below.
[03:01.16]Restaurant science
[03:05.60]Restaurant owners have to know how to make food.
[03:11.84]They also have to know how to make money.
[03:16.83]Here are some things they've learned1 from scientific studies.
[03:23.08]The color red makes people hungry.Red also makes customers eat faster.
[03:32.04]Many fast food restaurants,therefore,have red furniture or walls.
[03:39.59]Soft colors like pink and light blue make people relaxed,
[03:46.46]so they spend more time eating their meals.
[03:51.18]Soft lighting2 makes people look good,but it makes food look bad.
[03:58.76]Loud music may be nice at first,but it soon makes people want to leave.
[04:06.70]Hard seats also make customers want to eat quicky and leave.
[04:13.78]Many restaurants,especially fast food restaurants,
[04:20.55]use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.
[04:25.59]Customers only sit for about 20 minutes before they leave.
[04:32.25]Because customers don't stay very long,
[04:37.60]small restaurants can serve many people every day.
[04:43.66]SECTION B
[04:51.71]2a Listen.Do the people like the products in activity 1a?
[05:00.67]Write"Yes"for the products they like and"No"for the products they don't like.
[06:00.54]2b Listen again.What do the people say about the products?Draw lines to match.
[07:04.10]3a What's the article about?Do you agree with it?
[07:12.74]Advertising3:Pros and cons4
[07:18.31]In the modern world,advertiding is everywhere!
[07:24.79]Some people think that ads are great.
[07:29.75]Others hate ads,saying that they make our cities and countryside look ugly.
[07:38.11]Many ads are aimed specifically5 at reenagers,
[07:43.86]and some young people see more than 100 advertisements a day.
[07:50.52]It's true that some ads can be very useful.
[07:56.29]For instance6,they can help you to compare two different products
[08:02.77]so that you can buy the one you really need.They can also help you save money.
[08:10.42]When prices are listed,you can go to the store with the lowest price.
[08:18.29]Ads also tell you when stores are having sales.
[08:24.24]However,some advertising can be confusing or misleading.
[08:31.09]Sometimes the words sound good
[08:35.84]but don't really tell you anything about the qulity of the prodrct.
[08:42.21]At other times,the picture in an ad looks a lot better than the real thing.
[08:49.66]And you have to be careful.
[08:53.81]At times an ad can lead you to buy something you don't need at all.
[09:00.58]2 Read the diary,
[09:11.16]and then write words to show how Ming feels at different times during the day.
[09:18.29]Dear Diary
[09:22.26]I thought today was going to be really bad.
[09:27.90]To start with,it was raining,and rainy days make me sad.
[09:34.56]And it was my birthday,but when I got up,no one was home,
[09:41.64]and Mom and Dad hadn't left me a note.I walked to school with my best friend,Gu.
[09:50.00]She didn't say anything either.This made me a little angry.
[09:56.56]After all,I remembered her birthday last month.
[10:02.72]In class,the teacher asked me for my homework,
[10:08.47]but as I was so tense when I left home,
[10:13.43]I had forgotten to bring it with me.That made me annoyed with myself.
[10:20.30]But things got better.Gu invited me for lunch
[10:27.57]I was so surprised.Mom and Dad and all my friends were there.
[10:34.93]I had a wonderful surprise birthday lunch.
[10:39.48]That made me VERY happy.
[10:44.34]READ The art of giving
[10:54.00]Giving a gift is not always easy.
[10:59.67]How do you decide which is the right gift for your friend,
[11:05.52]classmate,family member,or co-worker?
[11:10.38]Will they like it?How much money should you spend?
[11:15.55]And receiving gifts isn't always easy,either.
[11:21.01]Let's say your grandmother gives you an orange sweater.
[11:26.89]The problem is you don't like wearing orange.
[11:31.85]You keep the sweater and pretend to like it,
[11:36.71]but really the only time you wear it is when you visit your grandmother.
[11:43.87]You know that will make her happy.
[11:48.31]In different situations,there are some gifts that will always work well.
[11:55.68]If you know what they are,it can make giving gifts very easy.
[12:01.74]At a dinner party,for example,flowers are often needed.
[12:08.82]If you bring some flowers in a pretty vase,
[12:13.78]it can save the host or hostess a lot of troule.
[12:18.74]You can also send flowers ahead of time,
[12:24.39]so the host or hostess can arrange the flowers before the party begins.
[12:31.15]If you think flowers are too feminine8 a gift for a man to receive,
[12:38.10]you can consider giving a plant instead.
[12:43.14]Giving money as a gift is a simple thing to do.
[12:49.80]The difficulty is when it is proper to do so.
[12:55.76]Some people may think a gift of money
[13:00.93]means the gift-giver is too lazy to go out and find the right gift.
[13:07.70]Maybe it's true for a birthday,but money is acceptable9 in some situations.
[13:15.45]It's a tradition during the Chinese New Year,for example.
[13:21.41]Also,someone you know might really need the money.
[13:26.97]Old people living cheaply may find a gift of money to be just what they needed.
[13:34.92]What they don't need is another gift they can't use.
[13:40.66]If you feel uncomfortable giving people money,
[13:46.25]gift vouchers10 to popular stores can be acceptable.
[13:51.71]That way you show your friends you are thinking of them
[13:57.28]and they can choose something that they like.
[14:01.53]Sometimes,before a party,the host will say that no gift is needed or wanted.
[14:09.58]In these situations,it's important to do what the host wants.
[14:16.35]If you don't and bring a gift anyway,
[14:21.31]people might think you are rude--you didn't follow the host's rules.
[14:27.97]It could also embarrass11 other guests.
[14:33.74]They might feel they should have brought a gift,too.Don't be a rule-breader.
[14:41.61]Be sure to follow your host's suggestions.
