Passage ScriptsOver the past few years, many talent shows have appeared on TV across the country, such as “Super Girl,” “Super Boy,” etc. These entertainment shows are very popular, especially among young
13、people, and have a significant influence on their lives. They believe that the TV talent shows can offer them the opportunity to show their talent, or even change their lives.On the other hand, many people have a negativeopinion about TV talent shows. They think these shows mislead the youth by maki
14、ng them believe that they can make a fortune or become famous overnight. As a result, many students are so keen on taking part in the competition that they leave their studies behind during the shows season.In fact the TV talent show is like a double-edged sword, and we need to look at it properly.
15、For one thing, the TV studios are supposed to offer more inspiring and interesting shows. For another, the media ought to give young people proper guidance and avoid exaggerating the effects of the show.Passage3. Work in groups of four to share your views on talent shows. Try to list the pros and co
16、ns. Then each group chooses a representative to report your discussion to the class.The talent show TV programs offer everyone an opportunity to realize their dream of stage, and such an opportunity is equal to everyone, no matter how old you are and no matter what you are. Its no doubt that the sta
17、ge is the dream of some youth. They think they belong to it and they have worked hard so many years to realize their dream. Now there is an opportunity before them.Sample report - ConsOur group members are consistent in the views on talent shows. Although we agree that such TVprograms could enrich p
18、eoples life, we all think that they are boring and meaningless. We consider such a program as a product of universal entertainment. Student A holds that such a TV program will distract us from our studies, the main responsibility we are supposed to perform. He even doesnt have time to watch such a p
19、rogram through. Student B regards such a program is an entertainment for entertainment, which is meaningless and you could learn nothing from it. As to Student C, she doesnt have time to watch it, either. But she has heard about it so much.PassageShe doesnt think such a program could arouse her inte
20、rest, for her interest is in films. As far as I am concerned, there are too many entertainment programs on TV, which have lost their originality. And so many young people are misled by such programs, daydreaming that one day they could shoot to fame overnight.Our group members find many pros of the
21、talent shows. Our youth really need opportunities to show our stuff. And the talent shows provide such an opportunity. There are many peers around us who have different talent. Some could play the Pipa, the Chinese lute; some have learned hip-hop for many years; and some play the piano very well. In
22、 fact, some of them dont want to become famous through the media. They just want to show to the others andto themselves that they could achieve something.Passage A Athletes should be role models Lead-inl Video appreciationl Extended readingl Pre-reading questions Lead-in- Extended readingRole model:
23、 ErikaI met Erika two years ago. Erika grew up in a provincial Mexican town called Leon. According to the regions conservative customs, women are expected to marry and serve their husbands. Practically all women there accept their fate; Erika is one notable exception. Rebelling against the constrain
24、ts imposed on women, she risked social rejection by persuading her parents to let her study engineering in Mexico City. She hoped to influence peoples lives and become a well-rounded individual.At that time, there were only two women studying engineering at the university. Professors didnt expect a
25、woman to become a good engineer and didnt dedicate much time to her, so she had to put in twice the effort to obtain the same grades as her male classmates.She graduated with honors and decided to join P&G, where I met her. Very soon, her strong business vision and leadership skills earned her a fas
26、t Brand Manager promotion.

27、ther was struck with cancer. Without a moments hesitation, she left her promising career to achieve her goal in life: helping others. She now spends half of each day taking care of her mom and the other half teaching illiterate women.Erika has had a deep influence on me. What I most admire about her
28、 is her strong belief that we have the responsibility to help others become better persons.She lives according to this credo, which she has used as a guideline since she was very young. She has show me the importance of attaining a balanced life and contributing to society while accumulating practic
29、al skills. Most recently, she has encouraged me to obtain an MBA, because it gave her the skills needed to complete her development and help others.
