Unit 7 The Chaser练习答案综合教程三(7)

I. Dictation script.

Rumor is the most primitive way of spreading stories/ by passing them on from mouth to mouth./ But civilized countries in normal times/ have better sources of news than rumor./ They have radio, television, and newspapers./ In times of stress and confusion, however,/ rumor emerges and becomes widespread./ At such times the different kinds of news are in competition:/ the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine.

Rumors are often repeated/ even by those who do not believe the tales./ There is a fascination about them./ The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor/ gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims:/ the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes,/ or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly./ Pessimistic rumors about defeat and disasters show/ that people who repeat them are worried and anxious./ Optimistic rumors about record production or peace soon coming/ point to complacency or confidence/ and often to overconfidence.
