Unit 1 Environmental Protection

Part One

Understanding Short Conversations

Scripts with Key

1. W: There’s a trash container over there. I’ll go discard these magazines

and newspapers. I’ve finished reading them now.

M: Be sure to put them in the right container. As you know, they can be

recycled (循环利用).

Q: Why does the man want the woman to be careful where she puts the

magazines and newspapers?

2. M: I’ll buy a new automobile this week. I want a red one that is fast and

that will impress the girls.

W: Well, I don’t care about the color. I’d be more impressed if you bought

an electric car, one that’s better for the environment.

Q: What kind of car would the woman in this conversation be impressed by?

3. W: Look, you are using a pencil to write on paper. Do you know that both

1

pencils and paper come from trees?

M: I don’t claim to refuse using all products that come from trees, but I am

careful to avoid using more than necessary.

Q: Which statement is true about the man?

4. M: My company is really doing well. Look, we are developing that area over

there. Can you see the beautiful shopping center that we are building?

W: But I remember when that area had beautiful trees. I liked it better before

you developed it.

Q: Why is the woman unhappy with the man?

5. W: My city is such a dump. How can I teach my class to take better care of

the environment?

M: You could teach them to recycle, tell them not to throw trash on the ground,

and give them a homework assignment about reusing paper products.

Q: What does the woman want to do?
