Background information about “Pathological Internet Use”
“Pathological Internet Use” refers to Internet or web addiction, which consists of three primary behaviors, known as online impulsiveness, avoidance and online social superiority.

hook: v. to cause to become addicted 沉迷
pathological: a. relating to or caused by disease 病理的，病态的
fixation: n. a strong attachment to a person or thing 依恋，固着
abuse: v. to use wrongly or improperly
Listen to the interview for the first time to get to know the general idea of it.
Maria: Hello, everyone. This is Maria Wells. Every time the word “addiction” is mentioned, image of drug dependence, alcoholism and smoking come to mind. But today, technology is breeding a new type of addiction which can be just as severe: Internet addiction. Here is our guest, Professor Luther Nicholson, a psychologist from Connecticut University. Good evening, Mr. Nicholson.
Luther: Hi Maria. Addiction is not a word that should be taken lightly. Some argue that we are exaggerating concerns about addiction. People don’ t expect the computer and the Internet to be a problem.
Maria: My colleagues here don’ t see it as a negative thing or something to be afraid of. They assume that web addiction is mostly a young person’s problem.
Luther: No. My patients of web addiction vary widely in age. Our survey shows that millions of children and adults are now hooked, on what we call “ Pathological Use ”.
Maria: Pathological? So it’s really a disease.
Luther: Absolutely. They use the web to the point where it can change moods or create negative consequences in relationships, financial situations or legal matters. Some online gamers play constantly, days in a row. Some spend days online murdering others in search of virtual possessions. Some remain isolated in their actual lives, but only talk to strangers online to enter another life. Most addicts have a kind of fixation. They throw themselves into an imaginary world.
Maria:?And?they?will?pay?the?ultimate?price?for?their?obsession.??
Luther:?Yes.?And?the?price?is?always?high?and?sad.?Actually,?we?have?had?cases?of?suicide?by?web addicts.?Their?pastime?turns?into?a?costly?habit.?The?Internet?is?a?powerful?technology.?It?creates?access?to?all?of?the?information?on?the?planet.?They’re?very?powerful?tools?that?can be?abused.??
Maria:??I?get?it.?How?can?one?know?if?one?is?addicted,?Professor?Nicholson?? Luther:?Take?a?break?from?your?computer.?Are?you?restless?and?frustrated??Do?you?wonder?how?many?emails?you’ve?received??Take?note?of?your?behavior;?if?you?are?feeling uncomfortable?or?uneasy,?it?may?be?time?to?monitor?your?Internet?usage.??
Maria:??I?guess?most?of?us?are?addicted?to?a?certain?extent.?Thank?you,?Mr.?Nicolson.??
Luther:??Thank?you.
Ask the students do the exercises in part A.
Question1: What is mainly talked about in this conversation?
Internet addiction has become a serious problem that affects most people’s lives.
Question2: Can you describe a picture of a typical Internet addict?

Listen to the interview for a third time, and pay attention to the details related to the general idea of the conversation.

Listen to the short passage for the first time to get to know the general idea of it.
Do We Have to Be Excellent at Our Hobbies?
The other morning, I overheard a nine-year-old boy complain, “We don’t want that nerd in our soccer team. We are so ashamed that he doesn’t know a goal-kick from a head-shot.” As it happens, the “nerd” was my son. I’m sorry, Son, I guess I blew it. My son didn’t receive serious instruction as other boys did. In my day, when we played baseball, it didn’t matter if any of us played terribly; we weren’t out to slaughter the other team. To us, sports were just a way of having a good time.
I enjoy singing badly and drawing badly. I’m not ashamed of my incompetence in these areas. I do one or two other things well, but I’d always like to try something new which I don’t have to be good at. Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style. In today’s competitive world we have to be experts even in hobbies.
If you pull on your gym shoes and jog around the block once in a while, you’ll be laughed at by the so-called “serious runners”---the ones who run 20 miles or more a week in their 60-dollar jogging suits and fancy shoes. As far as the are concerned, if you don’t have the latest shoes, you are embarrassing yourself. And going dancing no longer means putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns on Saturday night. Nowadays, dancing means squeezing into tights, sweating through five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz classes, and then dance like a beautiful swan to make others obsessed. It seems that we pay too much attention to self-improvement, even with hobbies. I don’t think hobbies bring as much fun as they used to.
Let’s draw for drawing’s sake. Let’s sing for singing’s sake. We are talking about recreation and the activities we enjoy. We take up those because they are for our pleasure.
Listen to the passage carefully and do the exercises in part A.
Explain the passage to the students and then check the answers while listening to the passage for a third time.
Key: BDAA
B: Listen to the passage again and discuss the questions in Part B.
5 minutes or so are given to the students to organize their ideas and prepare to present their opinions with what they have learned from the listening material.
Listening to English News
Listen to the news about shopping addiction and fill in the blanks with what you hear.
Vocabulary
compulsive shopper: a person obsessed with shopping
outrageous: a. shockingly excessive 毫无节制的
spree: n. a brief indulgence of impulses
aisle: n. a long narrow passage
binge buy: to make purchases in uncontrolled ways
Teaching Tips:
This is intended for students to improve listening skills with authentic materials. The skill practiced is for selective information.
Listen to the English news for the first time to get the general idea of it.
Have students form pairs to compare their answers and discuss differences if any.
Outrageous?shopping?bills?are?a?familiar?nightmare?for?many?compulsive?shoppers．And?contrary?to?the?popular?opinion，men?suffer?that?nightmare?nearly?as?often?as?women．A?new?survey?finds?that?both?genders?are?almost?equally?likely?to?suffer?compulsive?buying?disorder,?a?condition?marked?by?uncontrollable,?unnecessary?and?unaffordable?shopping?sprees.?

Listen to the news again and discuss the questions in part B.
III. Speaking for Communication
Talking it up
Listen and make a comparison.
Listen to the short dialogue first, and underline expressions often used on business occasions.
Script and key:
Wilson: Mr. Brown, I’m awfully sorry, but I won’t be able to come on Friday afternoon.
Brown: What’s the matter? Nothing wrong, I hope.
Wilson: I’ve just checked my schedule and realized I already have an appointment that afternoon. I’m really sorry for all the trouble I’ve put you to.
Brown: It doesn’t matter. It’s all right with me. In that case, let’s have the meeting at three o’clock next Monday. Would that be convenient for you?
Wilson: Well, I’m afraid I can’t make it at three o’clock. Four o’clock would suit me better. Do you think you can make it ?
Brown: Yes. That’s fine. I’ll look forward to seeing you next Monday afternoon, four o’clock.
Wilson: Okay, my team will be pleased to meet you too. I’m sure everything will go smoothly, and we can discuss details of our cooperation on this project.
Brown: I hope so. See you then.
Group or pair work
The class should be divided into 5 or 6 groups to do pair work. The students are to practice what they have learned in Parts A and B, and they are expected to talk freely with their own established knowledge about the topic. In the end, one student is to present the results of their discussion in a set time.
Talking it through
Free discussion about the topic by making use of the information learned in Listening for Content. Students are encouraged to describe their general inclinations in choosing clothes and their special choices for particular occasions. The teacher can specify some settings by asking:
--What would you wear for a job interview?
--What clothes would you rarely wear when taking part in outdoor sports?
Read the given information and then discuss hobbies and personalities with your group members
