questions ViewingViewingAFTERAFTER you view you view1 What do you think of Britains dream commuters?I think Britains dream commuters have made a wise decision.They have the worst deal in all of Europe and spend longer in cars and trains than anyone else.So more and more people are moving to mainland Europe but still keeping their jobs in the UK.Its all Its all being made possible thanks to being made possible thanks to cheap air travel,the growth of flexible working hours and an increase in communication technology.Listening to the worldListening to the world4 4 Work in pairs and discuss the questions ViewingViewingAFTERAFTER you view you view2 Do you think this lifestyle is possible in China?Why or why not?I dont think Chinese commuters will live in a foreign country and commute to work in China.Chinese citizens may not have the freedom to travel between countries and air travel in China is not that cheap.But it is very likely that Chinese commuters will live in a small city and commute to work in a big city.Because the house prices in big cities are skyrocketing,and the fast development of inter-city railway systems has greatly reduced the time needed to travel between cities.Further practice in listeningFurther practice in listeningLong conversation Long conversation Listen to the long conversation and choose the best answers.Further practice in listeningFurther

changed?2 Q:What is the current situation of working women in the United States?3 Q:What is the best-paying job for women?4 Q:What does the speaker think of the job prospects for women in the United States?script.In 1964,19 million women were employed in the United States.Today they total（共计）65 million,working in a wide variety of industries and increasingly pursuing higher education.The number of working women who have attended college has increased 200 percent since 1970,and the undergraduate（本科）class of 2011 was 57 percent female.Yet as far as women have come,they still earn on average only 81.2 percent as much as men and remain in lower-end（低端）jobs.What are the best paying jobs for women?Using data on the weekly earnings of full-time workers in 2010 collected by BLS,we discovered that tech and health care is where the moneys at.Female physicians（内科医生）and surgeons（外科医生）topped the list.These women earned a median（中间值）of$1,618 per week,or about$84,000 a year,more than any other profession tracked by the BLS.Male doctors continue to earn more than female doctors,but the pay gap has narrowed each year;its now at 29 percent versus 41 percent two years ago.Interestingly,the second best-paying job for women is a pharmacist（药剂师）.Female pharmacists make a median of$1,605 per week or about$83,500 annually,nearly as much as physicians and surgeons and more than chief executives,which came in at No.3 on our list.Women account for 48 percent of the pharmacy profession and earn 83 percent as much as male pharmacists.Meanwhile,only 26 percent of CEOs are women,and they earn just 72 percent as much as their male peers.Now women have been moving into relatively higher-paying jobs that were traditionally male-dominated（男性主导）.Its been a very positive development.Overall,the gender pay gap is narrowing.+.Further practice in listeningFurther practice in listeningPassage 1Passage 11 Q:How has the number of working women with college degrees in the
