【正确答案】我很高兴应邀与各位交流一下不同文化所形成的交际模式。作为一名在中国教学的美国人，我的报告基于我个人的经历和体会。
   来自不同文化背景的人们往往都认为自己的行为方式是“正常的”。但涉及说话方式时，有些在本族人看来很自然的话语却被外族人视为荒诞，甚至会引起误解。
   引发困惑的交际模式集中反映在间接话语上。虽然中美两国人都会使用间接话语，但是如何使用间接话语模式取决于诸多因素。
   语境对于理解间接话语是至关重要的，例如，说话者在社会上的经济地位及工作职务、说话者的出生地及长居地、说话者的自我定位及他人关系中的定位。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   I'm very happy to be invited and talk about communication pattern of different cultures. I will give my presentation based on my personal experience and observations as an American teacher in China.
   People in every culture tend to regard the way they do things as "normal". But in regard to ways of speaking, what may seem natural to one person may be odd or misunderstood by someone outside the culture.
   Communication patterns that cause confusion often center on indirect speech. Chinese and Americans can both speak indirectly, but their use of this speech pattern depends on many factors.
   Context is crucial to understanding the indirect speech, such as speakers' economic and work position in society, where they were born and have lived, and how they identify themselves in relation to themselves and others.

【正确答案】假期往往是快乐与压力相伴而行。你需要陪伴家人、购买和互赠礼物、拜亲访友、享用节日大餐、打折疯狂采购、组织和参加聚会等。
   回归到日常生活节奏和相对更安静的工作场所，会使你因缺乏新鲜事物的刺激而精神不振。感到有点失落是一种正常的感觉；一旦回归到日常生活，失落感就会很快消散。
   在假期的尽情放纵之后，你的身材可能有些走形。良好的饮食和有规律的运动会让你保持好心情，并帮助你恢复体型。
   如果你担忧寒意渐浓的天气，健康而暖和的浓汤或蔬菜就不愧为很好的选项。你会觉得饱暖，也不用担心过高的热量。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   The holiday season is both joyful and stressful at once. There is family to get along with, gifts to buy and return, people to visit, plenty of festive food to eat, sales to rush to, and parties to plan and attend.
   Returning to the usual routine and quieter workplace can dampen your spirits just by the absence of exciting things to do. It is normal to feel a little low and that feeling will soon pass once the routine re-establishes itself.
   After the many indulgences over the holiday period, it can leave you feeling a little out of shape. Having healthy food and keeping up regular exercises will enhance your mood and help you return to good shape.
   If you're worried about not keeping warm enough during the colder weather, such excellent choices as healthy, chunky, hot soups or vegetables will both warm and fill you up without carrying lots of calories.
