Conversation Two
W: I just finished reading a book of short story by Hemlen Garlen called May Traveled Road. I really enjoy it. Have you ever read it?
M: Y es, it was a required reading in American literature course I took last year. Even though it’s fiction, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had on American froniter. I don’t think I would survive the 19th century frontier life.
W: Me neither. Remember that story among the car roads. Garlen gives a vivid description of Julie Peterson, that young immigrant girl; she had to work on her family farm.
M: Ah ha.
W: Well, when Julie feels exhausted, and she is wishing she can escape from her hard labor, she looks over her father working in the next field. And she is inspired to continue her own work..
M: I do remember that story. Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled the American Midwest. It’s difficult to imagine that nothing seems to discourage them for long.
W: I wonder how Garlen learned so much about the Midwest. Was he from Boston?
M: He lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wisconsin. He did grow up in Midwest.
W: No wonder his description is so good, I’m going to take this book back to the library now and borrow what other Garlen’s works I can find.

Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth. One, brush your teeth on the right way. Brush your teeth at least twice a day–after breakfast and lunch or after sweet snacks, too.

Play a song you like to help pass the time. Get a new toothbrush every three months. Two, learn how to clean the space between two teeth. It is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy.

If you have been on campus for very long, I’m certain that you’ve already heard about this course. Y ou may know that last semester about fifty percent of the students enrolled in my course failed it. Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality. Unfortunately, many students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those that they may feel unnecessary. For example I ask that each of your papers be typed and centered on the paper correctly. I count off points for various kinds of mistakes. A misspelled word will cost you 5 points. Y ou’ve lost 25 points if you misspelled 5 words. If you write incomplete sentences, you’ve lost 10 points. If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation, you’ve lost 15 points. I do not accept late papers. Y ou will receive a zero for any theme which you fail to submit on time. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quize from time to time. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Y ou will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester. Y our final grade will be based on an average of these major tests, the pop tests and eight written themes. If you have any questions at any time, you can see me on Tuesdays.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

参考答案
PartⅠ Writing
Einstein and Chaplin
Albert Einstein(1879-1955)is one of the greatest and most influential scientists and thinkers in the 20th century, who was born in Germany ,lived and worked in the United States since 1933. He is best known for his theory of relativity, which he first advanced in 1905 when he was only 25. In 1921 Einstein won the Noble Prize in physics primarily for his pioneer work in photoelectric theory. Einstein is also one of the few scientists whose work has helped change man’s view of the world.
Charlie Chaplin(1889-1977)is one of the most outstanding and popular comics in the 20th century, who came from Britian and became the most famous actor in the early to mid Hollywood silent cinema era. His principal character was “the Tramp”: a vagrant with the refined manners and dignity of a gentleman who wears a tight coat, oversized trousers and shoes, a bowler hat, a bamboo cane, and his signature toothbrush moustache, which made him well-known in the world.
Here is an interesting story about the two famous men.
Einstein was a great admirer of Charlie Chaplin’s films. Once, in a letter to Chaplin he said:“Everybody in the world can understand your film‘The Modern Times’.Y ou’ll certainly
become a great man.. Einstein.”
In his answer to this letter Charlie Chaplin wrote:“I admire you even more. Nobody in the world understands your Theory of Relativity, but you have already become a great man. Chaplin.”
