From Learning English, this is In the News.
Nouri al-Maliki said Thursday that he would leave his position as prime minister of Iraq. His decision opened the way for Haider Jawad al-Abadi to take Mr. Malikis place.
Former colleagues describe Mr. Abadi as a good speaker and a direct person who is open to the ideas of others. He will need strong qualities. Among the issues facing the new prime minister are extremist militancy, religious division and political dis*s.
The man now responsible for leading Iraq out of crisis was born in Baghdad. But he has lived much of his life outside the country. For example, he worked in Britain as an advisor in the engineering industry until the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.
His family suffered under the rule of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Saddams government arrested two of Mr. Abadis brothers in 1980 for their association with the Dawa Party and executed them two years later. In 1981, the government arrested a third brother for the same reason. That brother survived. But he spent 10 years in prison.
Mr. Abadi also was involved in the Dawa Party while in London. He served as an active party leader in exile.
He returned home to enter politics after Saddam was ousted from leadership. As communications minister, Mr.Abadi rebuilt telephone systems that had been destroyed by war. He also brought the first mobile and Internet communications services into the country.

There are increasing calls for lawmakers to reconsider copyright laws that protect the owners of 3-D printing designs. But there is also concern that extensive laws could suppress new ideas. 3-D printers have spread from scientific labs to industrial workshops to private homes. And prices of 3-D printers continue to drop.
Designers demonstrate a large number of different machines at 3-D print shows. There are models that can produce complex copies of human organs. There are less costly 3-D printers that make toys for children or parts for home electrical devices.
One German automaker recently demonstrated an example of a car structure printed in one piece. And a Chinese manufacturer advertised a house created in a 3-D printer.
With the help of com*r, almost anyone can print exact copies of many kinds of objects. But they also violate the law in doing so.
Julie Samuels is a lawyer with the civil liberties group, Electronic Frontier Foundation. She says people should be careful about what they create when using 3-D printers.
If a certain design that you want to print is covered by copyright, then if you print that you are infringing, arguably, someones copyright, said Julie Samuels.
But 3-D companies are concerned about passing more restrictive copyright protection laws. They think these laws could place bans on the rights of citizens. They also believe restrictive copyright laws could suppress technological invention.
How Did Thanksgiving Turkey Get its Name?
感恩节“火鸡”是如何得名?
The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday is symbolized by its traditional food, a large bird we call a turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey.
In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity.
Let’s set the record straight.
The word “Turkey” has meant “the land of the Turks” since ancient times. The word “turkey” as it refers to the bird first appeared in the English language in the mid-1500s.
The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds.
There is an African bird called the guinea fowl. It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Portuguese traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa.
This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought of the bird as a “Turkish chicken.”
When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent.
Orin Hargraves is a lexicographer, someone who writes dictionaries. Hargraves explains what happened.
“Some Europeans saw an American turkey, thought that it was the guinea fowl, which at that time was called the ‘turkey cock,’ and so gave it the same name."
Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird “turkey,” even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe.
But English is not the only language with interesting -- and even questionable -- names for this North American bird.
The Turkish, for their part, call turkey “hindi,” the Turkish name for India. The reference to India probably comes from the old, wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia.
The French call it “dinde,” a name that also connects the bird to India. “D’Inde” means “from India” in the French language. “Turkey” has similar names in several other languages.
So, what do they call this North American bird in India? Well, in the Hindi language, “turkey” is “tarki.”
But wait, there’s more. In Portuguese, the same bird is called “Peru,” after the South American nation.
Thanks to our VOA Learning English Facebook friends, we have a few more names for “turkey” to share with you.
The Vietnamese word for the bird is “gà ty” or western chicken. Our Facebook friend Nguyen Duc explains that “local chicken is smaller than western chicken.”
A Facebook friend in Myanmar explained that the Burmese word for “turkey” is “kyat sin.” The name translates to “elephant chicken” in English.
“That animal looks like a big chicken,” Zaw Myo Win explained.
The Dari language name for the bird, "fel murgh" also translates to “elephant chicken.”
Abdulla Kawer explained to us that “here in Afghanistan this name represents the size of this delicious meal.” He adds that he thinks the descriptive name “elephant chicken” is “better than a country name.”
I’m Ashley Thompson.

一.四级考试大纲对听力的要求
在国家英语四级考试中，听力部分占总分的20%，即20分。《大纲》对于四级的要求是：对于题材熟悉，句子结构比较简单，基本上没有生词，语速每分钟约120词的听力材料，一遍可以听懂，理解的准确率不低于70%。听力是考试的重点，也是*学生的弱点。因此掌握四级听力技巧对于通过考试至关重要。
二.四级听力题型
1.SectionA(对话题)：对话题基本是衣、食、住、行等日常生活中常见的话题和学校生活的话题。
2.SectionB(短文理解题)：ScetionB一般由三篇短文组成，每篇字数在150-170左右，只读一遍，然后提出三到四个问题要求考生进行选择，主要测试的是考生的语篇记忆力和整体的听力理解能力。
听力技巧-把握主题
听力和阅读需要许多技巧。发现某段落的主题就是其中之一。
什么是段落主题?怎样才能找到它?
段落主题也可理解为这个段落的中心意思，或者是体现这个段落的主旨和方向的核心意思。换句话说就是，你找主题的过程也就是确定这个段落的主要目的的过程：它是要告诉你一件事?还是解释说明，亦或是详细叙述?它是要与其它某事或某物作比较，还是要反驳某件事，亦或是就某点说服你?凡此种种目的，不一而足。明白了这一点，你就能够比较容易地找到段落的中心意思了。
体现段落中心意思的句子叫主题句，常放在段首，而且往往是段落的第一句。其后所跟的其它句子，提供支持这个主题句的全部细节。
当要讨论的是一个比较费解的意思，或者说当一个段落的目的是要说服你时，主题句有时放在段末。
如果某个段落有着暗含的中心意思，通常没有明确的主题句来体现。这个暗含的中心意思要从这个段落的整体来把握。
听力技巧-学会放过
许多英语学*者认为听力理解的最大难点是，听者无法控制说话者的语速。往往还没来得及把一个意思弄明白，而说话者就已经转到另一个意思上去了，不像阅读书面文章那样，可以返回头重看前面的内容。这种现象表明这些听力练*者跟不上说话人的语速。有两种听不懂的情况，一种是，太专注于思索刚听到的一句话，而无法听到下面的话;另一种情况是，因为不能足够迅速地把所有听到的整理一清而遗漏了整段话。
另一个难点是听者不能老让说话人重复其前面所说过的话。此外，当你听收音机或看电视时，当然也不能让其重复。
尽管在某些情况下可以打断说话者要求其讲得更清楚，但词汇选择权在说话者而非听者。有时，听者可以从上下文发现某个词的意思。但对于听外语的人来说，一个生词经常就象突然不期而至的障碍一样，使其停下来思考这个词的意思，而把后面的讲话全部漏掉。在听的过程中，这确实是一?quot;稍纵即逝"的现象。
事实上，在听的时候，学会放过某些暂时不明白的词或句子不去追究而接着听下面的话往往会得到ss意想不到的惊喜效果。而且，说话者对这些东西往往不只说一次，或者会在接下来的话中换一种方式说，或者另一个说话人会对前面所说过的作反应。这样，没有对某个一知半解的意思苦苦思索的听者就会有第二次，甚至第三次机会把前面略过的意思补全了。
学生们要学会跟上说话者的思想速度(甚至比说话者还要快)，即使这意味着将某些没有听清或听懂的放过去。H.H.斯特恩教授说，一个善于学*语言的人是那种"能够忍受认知上一时糊涂和缺欠的人"。这一点的确是真的。要成为一个好的听者，记住这点很重要。

Usually, the recipient won't open the gift until the guest leaves. In addition, there are some taboos in giving gifts. For example, it is inappropriate to present an umbrella as a gift to a couple because the word “umbrella” has the same pronunciation with another word "separate" in Chinese.

Iraqi President Fouad Massoum has asked a deputy speaker of parliament to form a new government. If he is successful, Haider al-Abadi would take the place of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Kurds, Sunnis and his fellow Shiites have asked Mr. Maliki to leave office. But he says he will seek a third term as Prime Minister.
Separately, the United States continued airstrikes against Islamic State militants in northern Iraq. U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said the three days of airstrikes have been, in his words, very effective in stopping the militants from moving toward the city of Irbil.
New Cease-Fire Between Israel and Hamas
Israel and Hamas have begun a new 72-hour cease-fire. The two sides will now have another chance to negotiate an end to a month of fighting that has caused the deaths of 2,000 people.
Egypt helped the two sides reach the cease-fire agreement. It took effect early Monday. Both sides are now meeting in Cairo to try to reach a long-term agreement to end the fighting.
An earlier 72-hour cease-fire ended Friday with no progress toward a longer-term truce. It ended with Hamas restarting its rocket attacks on Israel and the Israeli military carrying out new airstrikes in Gaza.

During 3 months in 1994, 800,000 Rwandans were killed in attacks led by ethnic Hutu militias. Most of the victims were ethnic Tutsis. Many organizations around the world are observing the 20th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide.
One of these groups is Shoah Foundation Student Association at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. It invited survivors to share their memories of the horrific event.
Yannick Tona has been traveling the world to talk about the genocide. He spoke about his experiences to a crowed of students at USC. He told them what happened in his country, and what happened to his own family.
I remember the first time I saw the killing. The first time I saw people been killed. The first time I saw bodies, said Tona.
He was only four years old at the time. He said he hid in bushes and heard screaming. He said he saw big bloody knives and bodies on the street everywhere. Mr Tonas one-year-old brother and his grandmother were killed.
Rwandan Edith Umugiraneza said she struggled with the guilt, she fought for surviving when her mother, brothers and many other relatives did not.
Because I was blaming, Why did I survive why I did not go with others? I had the question, Why, why? all the time, said Umugiraneza.
Ms Umugiraneza now lives in the United States. She said prayer and sharing stories with other survivors has helped her to heal.
In Vietnam, two members of a family of street vendors -- street sellers -- are finding a way to help the poorest students in Hanoi. Pham Minh Dap and his brother are providing the students with mostly free English and Japanese lessons at a learning center they created. The men want to help people who would not normally have a chance to learn a foreign language.
Some education experts in Vietnam say such knowledge may help college graduates get jobs. The countrys economy has improved. But many graduates continue to have a hard time finding employment. Local media report ten percent of university graduates do not have a job.
Earlier this year, 24-year-old Pham Minh Dap and his brother established a school they call Stand By You. Volunteers teach poor students English and Japanese.
Many classes are free. Students with some language knowledge pay 25 to 50 cents per class.
Mr. Dap pays about $500 to rent the language center space and for other costs. He gives about $150 from his earnings as a street vendor and private language teaching. His brother gives the same amount from money he earns as a secretary. Friends provide the rest.
Mr. Dap says students come to the city from the countryside and must pay for food or rent. He says the students parents are farmers. And he said farmers are very poor in Vietnam.
But Pham Minh Dap is also poor. He sells balloons and childrens toys outside Hoa Binh Park in the center of Vietnams capital. He works there for a few hours on most afternoons. He earns about five dollars each day.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Attend Your Classes Regularly。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.
1、现在大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象
2、保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性
3、作为一个大学生应该怎样做
Attend Your Classes Regularly
Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.
In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.
Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we‘ll benefit from it.

3、我的看法
Students‘ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students‘ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..
This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers‘ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers‘ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‘ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers‘ colleagues.
I think students‘ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‘ performance. Instead of rating the teachers‘ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‘s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‘ interest in the subject.

Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
Facing the two options, I will choose to take a job in a company. There are mainly two reasons for my choice.
On one hand, I am eager to ap* what I’ve learned to practice since I have got so many years’ schooling. Moreover, I am somewhat tired of the “ivory tower” life and ready for the “real world” life, for I assume that I can learn more from getting in touch with society. On the other hand, my family needs my financial support, because my parents are getting older and older and making less and less. Though it doesn’t take much to pursue my further study, I cannot support my parents financially if I choose to go to a graduate school.
To sum up, to take a job in a company meets my desire of learning from practice and support my parents financially, which is a better choice for me.

一方面，因为接受了这么多年的学校教育，我急于把自己的所*用到实践中。另外，我有些厌倦象牙塔生活了，准备迎接现实生活，因为我认为从接触社会中会学到更多。另一方面，我的家庭需要我的经济支持吗，因为我的父母变得越来越老，挣得越来越少。虽然继续学业并不会花多少钱，但是如果我去读研究生我就不能从经济上支持我的父母。
总之，在公司工作，既满足我从实践中学*的愿望，也满足我从经济上支持我的父母的愿望，对我来说是一个更好的选择。

studying the english language in an english-speaking country is the best but not the only way to learn the language.do you agree or disagree with this statement?
learning english in an english speaking country has many advantages.it is,therefore,a good idea to learn english in britain or america.however,i believe it is not the only way to learn the language.
to begin with,most students in non-english-speaking countries learn english in high schools or universities.although their spoken english is not usually of a very high standard,their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced.this is certainly useful when later they come to an english-speaking country to perfect the language.
however,it is obviously advantageous to learn english in english speaking countries where,every day,students will have ample chance to practise listening and speaking.in addition,students can experience the foreign culture,which greatly helps understand the language.this is especially true if they choose to live with an english or american family.still,since students are taught by native speakers,their reading and writing skills will improve as well.
as every coin has two sides,learning english at home also proves effective.at home students will have less stress and fewer problems in accommodation,expensive tuition and living costs.
in conclusion,it is preferable to study english in an english speaking country,but a reasonable level of english can be achieved at home,if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.

Nowadays piracy is becoming more and more of a problem in China. Almost any product, such as tape, CD and hi-tech device, can be copied. Shortly after a newly-developed product is put on the market, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.
It should be paid attention to that piracy causing great harm. On the one hand, pirated products often sell well due to their unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality, and the original ones, on the contrary, sell poorly. On the other hand, pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers since those legitimate producers’ enthusiasm may be greatly hurt as a result of money loss. Therefore, it is high time that we took measures to solve the problem as soon as possible.
First of all, stricter laws and regulations should be issued to punish piracy behaviors. Moreover, as customers, we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. Only in this way can this problem be solved radically.
Internet has penetrated into all the aspects of our life and work. We can study and work by it; we can find a job by it; we can communicate by it; we can entertain by it; we can buy and sell by it. We can do almost everything on the internet, almost anywhere any time.
However, while providing services for us, internet is inevitably inevitable invading our privacy to some degree. The services on most website require our registration. If we want enjoy these services, we have to provide much private information, including our name, address, gender, telephone number and sometimes bank account number. Due to the poor administration and weak security, our information might be open, stolen or sold on the internet. Even sometimes the information will be misused by the criminals.
Considering the above-mentioned, we must enhance the alertness when using the internet. First, when we need internet service, we should try to log on those big legal websites. Second, if the service requires important private information, you should think twice before you type it in.
We Shouldn't Totally Turn to the Internet
Nowadays,Internet has become an indispensable part in our life,and we use it for various purposes,such as searching useful information and chatting online.However,now more and more people turn to the Internet for help whenever they have trouble in finding solutions to their problems, and this phenomenon has aroused the public's attention.
Relying on the Internet to solve all our difficulties can have bad impacts on us.On one hand,since we can always settle the troubles by searching solutions online,we can become very lazy and don't bother to think up answers by ourselves,which can hinder the development of creative thinking.On the other hand,the answers online may be inaccurate or wrong.If we use them without thinking the credibility of them,we may make serious mistakes someday.
As far as I'm concerned,we shouldn't completely depend on the Internet to settle problems.When we come across some difficulties,we’d better try our best to find possible solutions.If we make great efforts and still can't come up with an answer,then we can surf online to search solutions.But we should question the correctness of these answers before we adopt them.

——大学英语四级作文：永不言弃 (菁华3篇)
There is a famous song called Never Say Never, it is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics tell people no matter what happens, never to give up, then you will be successful if you are stick on. Before, I believe in those words, I think if people insist, they can do everything. But last week, I saw a TV show, a scholarship told people to learn to give up sometimes, and they could gain more. He explained that he met a boy who was not good at studying, but he was skilled in cooking, so he encouraged the boy to give up studying the major that he was not good at and learned to be a cook. And now, the boy is a famous cook, it proves that give up is not a bad thing, people need to find the right place, or they will not successful.
my spoken english used to be very poor. i thought i could never make any progress in it. a new english teacher suggested that i should read aloud every day. but at the beginning, i could hardly go on. there were too many new words. i didn't want to study english any more. just then, a voice told me, "never give up, come on! "then i persisted in reading aloud for half an hour every day. now it is improved a lot. i have even won the first prize in our school's oral english contest.
stop working for your goals. do you agree or disagree with this statement?
use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
“if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” these are wise words. one should never give up. there is always another opportunity, another goal, or another option.
once i ran for president of my class. unfortunately, i lost. i lost because i did not promote myself enough. i looked at my mistakes and decided how to correct them. the following year, i ran for president again. this time i gave speeches, called voters on the phone, and banded out brochures. this time i won. never give up. there is always another opportunity.
once i wanted to study medicine. unfortunately, i didn’t like science. i failed all my science courses at school. then i realized that what i liked about medicine was helping people. i changed my goal from healing people to helping people. now, i’m studying psychology. there is always another goal.
once i wanted to talk with my friend. unfortunately, his com*r was down and i couldn’t e-mail him. his phone line was busy so i couldn’t call him. mail would take too long so i couldn’t write him. since i really wanted to talk with him. i got on the bus and went across town to visit him. there is always another option.
if you give up, you might as well die. my advice is to always look for another opportunity, another goal, or another option. there is always something else. don’t give up.

英语四级作文范文：永不言弃
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Do We Need “Never give up”? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1.“永不言弃”一直被认为是一种积极的生活态度，是个人成功的关键因素
2.但是，也有人认为适当的放弃才是明智的选择
3.你对此的看法及理由
英语四级范文参考：
It is widely accepted that “Never give up”, a strong and positive life attitude, is the key for individual success on the grounds that permanent persistence may boost our confidence, strengthen our will, and provide us a second chance for success when we are in hardship. However, others argue that sensible abandonment is more precious than blind persistence because the wise one should choose the most suitable area for him-self/herself.
In my opinion, we need to learn to give up timely. The most immediate reason is that we should adjust our aim carefully in order to go ahead continuously. Sometimes, to give up those unrealistic targets is essential for success. Besides, the attitude “Never give up” exhausts us both mentally and physically. Only through learning to give up can we lead a pleasant and relaxing life. Finally, the temporary comprise means a new start, a beginning bringing new hopes, expectations and opportunities for us.
Passive as giving up sounds alike, it represents a more mature and realistic mentality. If those opposing this attitude can take into consideration of its benefits, then this may seem acceptable in our lives.

引出不同观点的'万能模板：
1、People's views on... vary from person to person. Some hold that... . However, others believe that.... 人们对……的观点因人而异。有些人认为.....然而其他人却认为……
看这个长度就已然鹤立鸡群。其实，也是一个蛮简单也好记的模板。
2、Attitudes towards (drugs) vary from person to person. 人们对待吸毒的态度因人而异。
乍一看，跟上句的开头神似，其实就是省略掉了"people's"，不仅清爽而且好像高端了一些。
3、People may have different opinions on... 人们对……可能会有不同的见解。
又是一个婉转的句子，展示其客观性。
4、There are different opinions among people as to... 关于……人们的观点大不相同。
"different"虽拉低了水准，但"as to"又拯救了回来。
5、Different people hold different attitudes toward (failure). 对(失败)人们的态度各不相同。
这句话貌似亮点不多，顶多一个"hold"，但也是安全牌，容易理解。
题目要求：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled My View on the “Campus Star” Contest. You should write 120 words following the outline given below.
1. 校园里也涌现出了各种选“星”比赛
2. 这种现象带来的问题
3. 你的看法
参考范文：
My View on the “Campus Star” Contest
At an age of character and individuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various “stars” pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars, etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their “Campus Stars”. Although these activities make our cultural life in campus more colorful and varied, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.
First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they can become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge and skills they need to grasp for their future development.
On the whole, I think these various “Campus Star” contests should be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the student’s academic study and all-round development.
