Unit 18

Listening Practice 1
Tina: Hey, Joey. Where were you yesterday? I didn’t see you at school.
Joey: Hey, Tina. I had to go to the optometrist.
Tina: Why?
Joey: I have been having trouble seeing things recently. In class, the white board is always blurry【模糊的】, and
when I play baseball, I can’t see the pitcher（投手） very well.
Tina: Oh, no. Well, what did the optometrist say?
Joey: He said I was nearsighted(近视的）, so I need to start wearing glasses.
Tina: Nearsighted means you can’t see things that are far away, right?
Joey: Exactly. I am going today after school to pick out some glasses. Want to come help me choose a good pair?
It would be good to have another person’s opinion, so I can find the best-looking ones. My mom said I can get
whatever glasses I want, even the real expensive and fashionable(时尚） ones.
Tina: Sure. Sounds like fun. Let’s meet at the front entrance（enter) after school.
Joey: OK, but what time do you think you will be there exactly?
Tina: Hmm. It normally only takes me around ten minutes to get all my stuff together. Let’s meet at 3:40. Does
that sound OK?
Joey: Sounds perfect. See you then!

Hi, students. Today, we are going to learn about a few different kinds of doctors. Many of you probably already
know that there is more than one kind of doctor. But you might be surprised by just how many there are. In total,
there are over 60 different types of doctors, and each type specializes in a few things. Let’s look at a few of those
types now. The most common type of doctor is a general practitioner. General practitioners are family doctors.
They are the first doctor a patient sees, and they treat general sicknesses. Another type of doctor is a cardiologist.
Cardiologists are heart doctors. They treat heart disease, and people who have had heart attacks. A third type of
doctor is a neurologist. Neurologists treat problems of the nervous system. That includes any problem with the
brain, spinal cord, nerves, or muscles. The final type of doctor I will talk about today is an obstetrician. They are
pregnancy doctors. They treat women who are pregnant.

Listening Practice 4
Jeff: Mom! There are more! Every day there are more!
Mom: Jeff, relax. What are you talking about?
Jeff: Zits, Mom. Every day I have more and more zits. You can hardly see my face anymore.
Mom: Oh, don’t be ridiculous（荒唐）. Your face looks fine. It is normal （正常）for a kid your age to have a
few zits.
Jeff: No, it’s not. None of my friends have this many zits.
Mom: OK. I don’t think it’s necessary, but if you want, I will take you to the doctor after school. Will that calm you
down（relax)?
Jeff: What can the doctor do about my zits?
Mom: Well, not the regular doctor, the dermatologist. Dermatologists are skin doctors and can give you medicine
to help your zits go away faster.
Jeff: Really? That would be perfect.
Mom: OK then, Jeff. I will make an appointment for us to go to the dermatologist today at 4:00 pm. Does that
sound good?
Jeff: That would be great. Thanks, Mom!
Mom: Now, can you finish getting ready so I can drive you to school?
Jeff: OK. Just give me five more minutes.
