AMERICAN STORIES - A Story for Halloween: 'The Boy on Graves-End Road'PAT BODNAR: Now, the VOA Special English program AMERICAN STORIES.I'm Pat Bodnar. October thirty-first is Halloween. In the spirit of this ancient holiday, we present a story written by Special English reporter and producer Caty Weaver. It's called "The Boy on Graves-End Road.NARRATOR: Kelly Ryan was making dinner. Her ten-year-old son Benjamin was watching television in the living room. Or at least she thought he was.KELLY: "Benny-boy, do you want black beans or red beans?"BEN: "Red beans, Mama."Kelly: "Don't do that, Ben. You scared me half to death! You're going to get it now ... "NARRATOR: Ben had come up quietly right behind her.(SOUND)KELLY: "I'll get back to you, stinker!"NARRATOR: Kelly goes to the phone, but as soon as she lays her hand on it, the ringing stops.KELLY: "How strange. Oh, the beans!"NARRATOR: Kelly turns her attention back to cooking. As soon as she does, the phone rings again.KELLY: "Honey, can you get that?"BEN: "Hello? Oh, hi. Yes, I remember. Sure, it sounds fun. Let me ask my mom. Can you hold? She might wanna talk to your mom. Oh, um, OK. See you tomorrow."KELLY: "Ben, your rice and beans are on the table. Let's eat."(SOUND)KELLY: "So, what was that call about?"BEN: "That was Wallace Gray. You know him, from class. He wants to play tomorrow. Can I go home with him after school? Please, Mom? I get bored around here waiting for you after work."KELLY: "But, Ben, I don't even know his parents. Maybe I should talk to them."BEN: "You can't, Mom. He was with his babysitter. He said his parents wouldn't be home until late tonight and they would leave before he went to school in the morning. Please Mom, Wallace lives right over on Graves-End Road. It's afive-minute walk from here. PLEASE,?"KELLY: "Well, OK. What's so great about this guy, anyway? You've got a ton of friends to play with."BEN: "I know. But Wallace is just different. He's got a lot of imagination."NARRATOR: The school week passes, and Ben starts to go home almost every day with Wallace. Kelly notices a change in her son. He seems tired and withdrawn. His eyes do not seem to really look at her. They seem ... lifeless. On Friday night she decides they need to have a talk.KELLY: "Sweetie, what's going on with you? You seem so tired and far away. Is something wrong? Did you and your new friend have a fight?"BEN:"No, Mom. We've been having a great time. There's nothing wrong with us. Why don't you like Wallace? You don't even know him, but you don't trust him."KELLY: "Benjamin, what are you talking about? I don't dislike Wallace. You're right, I don't know him. You just don't seem like yourself. You've been very quiet the past few nights."BEN: "I'm sorry, Mom. I guess I'm just tired. I have a great time with Wallace. We play games like cops and robbers, but they seem so real that half of the time I feel like I'm in another world. It's hard to explain. It's like, it's like ... "KELLY: "I think the word you're looking for is intense."BEN: "Yeah, that's it -- it's intense."KELLY: "Well, tell me about today. What kind of game did you play?"(SOUND)BEN: "We were train robbers. Or Wallace was. I was a station manager. Wallace was running through a long train, from car to car. He had stolen a lot of money and gold from the passengers. I was chasing right behind him, moving as fast as I could. Finally he jumps out of the train into the station to make his escape. But I block his path. He grabs a woman on the station platform. She screams 'No, no!' But he yells 'Let me through, or she dies.' So I let him go."KELLY: "What happened then?"BEN: "Well, that's what was weird and, like you said, intense. Wallace threw the lady onto the tracks. And laughed. He said that's what evil characters do in games. They always do the worst."NARRATOR: Later, after Ben went to bed, Kelly turned on the eleven o'clock news. She was only half-listening as she prepared a list of things to do the next day, on Halloween.KELLY: "Let's see, grocery shopping, Halloween decorating, dog to the groomer, hardware store, clean up the garden ...(SOUND)NEWS ANNOUNCER: "... the victim, who has not been identified, was killed instantly. Reports say it appears she was pushed off the station platform into the path of the oncoming train. It happened during rush hour today. Some witnesses reported seeing two boys running and playing near the woman. But police say they did not see any images like that on security cameras at the station. In other news, there was more trouble today as workers protested outside the Hammond ... "KELLY: "No! It can't be. The station is an hour away. They couldn't have gotten there. How could they? It's just a coincidence."NARRATOR: The wind blew low and lonely that night. Kelly slept little. She dreamed she was waiting for Ben at a train station. Then, she saw him on the other side, running with another little boy.It must be Wallace she thought. The little boy went in and out of view. Then, all of a sudden, he stopped and looked across the tracks -- directly at her.He had no face.NARRATOR: Saturday morning was bright and sunny, a cool October day. Kelly made Ben eggs and toast and watched him eat happily.KELLY: "You know, Benny-boy, a woman DID get hurt at the train station yesterday. She actually got hit by a train. Isn't that strange?"NARRATOR: She looked at Ben.BEN: "What do you mean, Mom?"KELLY: "Well, you and Wallace were playing that game yesterday. About being at a train station. You said he threw a woman off the platform, and she was killed by a train."NARRATOR: Kelly felt like a fool even saying the words. She was speaking to a ten-year-old who had been playing an imaginary game with anotherten-year-old. What was she thinking?BEN: "I said we played that yesterday? I did? Hmmm. No, we played that a few days ago, I think. It was just a really good game, really intense. Yesterday we played pirates. I got to be Captain Frank on the pirate ship, the Argh."Wallace was Davey, the first mate. But he tried to rebel and take over the ship so I made him walk the plank. Davey walked off into the sea and drowned. Wallace told me I had to order him to walk the plank. He said that's what evil pirates do."KELLY: "I guess he's right. I don't know any pirates, but I do hear they're pretty evil!"BEN: "So can I play with Wallace today when you are doing your errands? Please, Mom? I don't want to go shopping and putting up Halloween decorations."KELLY: "Oh, whatever. I guess so. I'll pick you up at Wallace's house at about five-thirty, so you can get ready for trick or treating. Where does he live again?BEN: "Graves-End Road. I don't know the street number but there are only two houses on each side. His is the second one on the left."KELLY: "OK. I can find that easy enough. Do you still want me to pick up a ghost costume for you?"BEN: "Yep. Oh, and guess what, Mom: Wallace says he's a ghost, too! I suppose we'll haunt the neighborhood together."NARRATOR: Everywhere Kelly went that day was crowded. She spent an hour and a half just at the market. When she got home, decorating the house for Halloween was difficult.But finally she had it all up the way she wanted.KELLY: "Oh, gosh, five already. I don't even have Ben's costume."NARRATOR: She jumped into her car and drove to Wilson Boulevard. The party store was just a few blocks away.Kelly finally found a space for her car. The store was crowded with excited kids and hurried parents. But Kelly soon found the ghost costume that Ben wanted. She bought it and walked out of the store.EILEEN: "Hey, Kelly! Long time no see. How's Benjamin doing?"KELLY: "Eileen! Wow, it's great to see you. How's Matt? We've been so busy since the school year started, we haven't seen anyone!"EILEEN: "Matt's good. Well, he broke his arm last month so no sports for him. It is driving him crazy, but at least he's got a lot of time for school now!"EILEEN: "Anyway, Matt was wondering why Benny-boy never comes by anymore. We saw him running around the neighborhood after school last week. It looks like he's having fun, but he's always alone. We don't need to set up a play date. Ben should know that. You just tell him to come by anytime -- "KELLY: "Wait, wait a minute. Alone? What do mean alone? He started playing with a new friend, Wallace somebody, after school, like everyday this past week. Ben hasn't been alone. Wallace Gray, that's it. Do you know him? Does Matt?"EILEEN: "Oh, Kell. Kelly, I'm sure he's a fine kid. I don't know him but don't worry, Ben's got great taste in friends, we know that! I'm sure he wasn't really alone, he was probably just playing hide and seek or something. I didn't mean to worry you. I guess everybody's on edge because of what happened to the Godwin boy this morning."NARRATOR: Kelly suddenly felt cold and scared. What Godwin boy? And what happened to him? She was not sure she wanted to know, but she had to ask.EILEEN: "Frank Godwin's youngest boy, Davey, the five-year-old. You know Frank, we call him Captain. He used to be a ship captain. Well, this morning the rescue squad found Davey in Blackhart Lake. They also found a little toy boatthat his dad made for him. Davey and his dad named it the Argh. Davey must have been trying to sail it. It's so sad."KELLY: "Wait, he's dead?EILEEN: "Yes. Davey drowned."KELLY: "Where's Blackhart Lake?"EILEEN: "It's right off Graves-End Road, right behind that little cemetery. That's why they call it Graves-End. Kelly, where are you going?"Kelly: "I've got to get Benjamin."(MUSIC)NARRATOR: Kelly raced down Main Street. She had no idea who Wallace Gray was or how he was involved in any of this. But she did not trust him and she knew her child was in danger.Finally she was at Graves-End Road.BEN: "Only two houses on each side."NARRATOR: She remembered what Ben had told her.EILEEN: "Right behind that little cemetery."NARRATOR: And what Eileen had told her. Kelly got out of the car and walked down the street. She looked around.BEN: "It's the second one on the left."NARRATOR: She could see the lake. Some fog was coming up as the sky darkened on this Halloween night. But there was no second house. Instead, what lay before her was grass and large white stones. The cemetery. Kelly walked through the gate into the yard of graves.Kelly: "Ben?"NARRATOR: No answer. She kept walking.KELLY: "Ben? Answer me. I know you're here."NARRATOR: Again no answer. But the wind blew and some leaves began to dance around a headstone. Kelly walked slowly toward the grave. Suddenly the sky blackened -- so dark, she could not see anything. She felt a force pushing at her. It tried to push her away from the grave. But she knew she had to stay.KELLY: "Benjamin Owen Orr, this is your mother. Come out this second!"NARRATOR: No one answered, except for the sound of the blowing wind. The darkness lifted. Silvery moonlight shone down directly onto the old gravestone in front of her. But Kelly already knew whose name she would see.KELLY: "'Wallace Gray. October thirty-first, nineteen hundred, to October thirty-first, nineteen hundred and ten. Some are best when laid to rest.'"NARRATOR: Kelly took a deep breath. Then ...KELLY: "Wallace Gray this play date is OVER! Give me back my son. Wallace, you are in TIME-OUT."NARRATOR: Suddenly, the ground shoots upward like a small volcano. Soil, sticks and worms fly over Kelly's head and rain down again -- followed by her son, who lands beside her.BEN: (COUGHING, CHOKING)KELLY: "Ben! Ben!"BEN: (COUGHING, CHOKING) "Mom, Mom! Are you there? I can't see. All this dirt in my eyes."KELLY: "Ben, I'm here, I'm here baby, right here. Oh, sweet Benny-boy. Can you breathe? Are you really ok? What happened? How long were you in there?"BEN: "I don't know, Mom. But I didn't like it. I didn't like where Wallace lives. I want to go home."KELLY: "Oh, me too, Sweetie. C'mon, Ben, put your arm around me. C'mon.(SOUNDS)BEN: "And Mom, one more thing ... "KELLY: "What is it, Ben?"BEN "I don't want to be a ghost for Halloween."(MUSIC)PAT BODNAR: Our story "The Boy on Graves-End Road" was written and produced by Caty Weaver. The voices were Andrew Bracken, Faith Lapidus, Katherine Cole, Shirley Griffith and Jim Tedder. I'm Pat Bodnar.Join us again next week for another American story in VOA Coming to Terms With Academic Titles at US CollegesThis is the VOA Special English Education Report.Not everyone who teaches in a college or university is a professor. Many are instructors or lecturers. In fact, not even all professors are full professors. Many of them are assistant or associate professors or adjunct professors.So what do all of these different academic titles mean at American colleges and universities? Get ready for a short lecture, especially if you are thinking of a career in higher education.Professors usually need a doctoral degree. But sometimes a school will offer positions to people who have not yet received their doctorate.This person would be called an instructor until the degree has been completed. After that, the instructor could become an assistant professor. Assistant professors do not have tenure.Tenure means a permanent appointment. This goal of greater job security is harder to reach these days. Fewer teaching positions offer the chance for tenure.Teachers and researchers who are hired into positions that do offer it are said to be "on the tenure track." Assistant professor is the first job on this path.Assistant professors generally have five to seven years to gain tenure. During this time, other faculty members study the person's work. If tenure is denied, then the assistant professor usually has a year to find another job.Candidates for tenure may feel great pressure to get research published. "Publish or perish" is the traditional saying.An assistant professor who receives tenure becomes an associate professor. An associate professor may later be appointed a full professor.Assistant, associate and full professors perform many duties. They teach classes. They advise students. And they carry out research. They also serve on committees and take part in other activities.Other faculty members are not expected to do all these jobs. They are not on a tenure track. Instead, they might be in adjunct or visiting positions.A visiting professor has a job at one school but works at another for a period of time. An adjunct professor is also a limited or part-time position, to do research or teach classes. Adjunct professors have a doctorate.Another position is that of lecturer. Lecturers teach classes, but they may or may not have a doctorate.And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach.

I'm Barbara Klein.EDUCATION REPORT - Early Classes = Sleepy Teens(Duh!)This is the VOA Special English Education Report.Surveys of American teenagers find that about half of them do not get enough sleep on school nights. They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.One reason for this deficit is biology. Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups. Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.As a result, many students go to class feeling like sixteen-year-old Danny. He plays two sports, lacrosse(曲棍球) and football. He is an active teen -- except in the morning.DANNY: "Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible. I'm just very out of it and tired. And then going to school I'm out of it, and through first and second period I can barely stay awake."Michael Breus is a clinical psychologist with a specialty in sleep disorders.MICHAEL BREUS: "These aren't a bunch of lazy kids -- although, you know, teenagers can of course be lazy. These are children whose biological rhythms, more times than not, are off."Teens, he says, need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night. He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression that couldhave big effects on their general well-being. It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.Michael Breus says any tired driver is dangerous, but especially a teenager with a lack of experience.So what can schools do about sleepy students? The psychologist says one thing they can do is start classes later in the morning. He points to studies showing that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first- and second-period classes.Eric Peterson is the head of St. George's School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island. He wanted to see if a thirty-minute delay would make a difference. It did.He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half. Late arrivals to first period fell by a third. And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day.Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small, private boarding school like his. But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.ERIC PETERSON: "In the end, schools ought to do what's the right thing for their students, first and foremost."Patricia Moss, an assistant dean at St. George's School, says students were not the only ones reporting better results.PATRICIA MOSS: "I can say that, anecdotally, virtually all the teachers noticed immediately much more alertness in class, definitely more positive mood. Kids were happier to be there at eight-thirty than they were at eight."And that's the VOA Special English Education Report. You can read, listen and comment on our programs at .

A nickname also can describe a person, place or thing. Many American cities have interesting nicknames. These can help establish an identity, spread pride among citizens and build unity. (MUSIC: "Chicago")Chicago, Illinois was once the second largest city in the United States. So, one of its nicknames is The Second City. Over the years, the population of Chicago has decreased. Today it is the third largest American city.However, another nickname for Chicago is still true today. It is The Windy City. Chicago sits next to Lake Michigan, one of North America's Great Lakes. Language expert Barry Popick says on his website that Chicago was called a "windy city" because of the wind that blows off of Lake Michigan. In the eighteen sixties and seventies, Chicago was advertised as an ideal place to visit in the summer because of this cool wind.But anyone who has ever lived in Chicago knows how cold that wind can be in winter. The wind travels down the streets between tall buildings in the center of the city.Barry Popick says other cities in the central United States called Chicago a "windy city." This meant that people in Chicago liked to brag or talk about how great their city was. They were full of wind or full of hot air. He says newspapers in Cincinnati, Ohio used this expression in the eighteen seventies.Chicago was an important agricultural, industrial and transportation center for the country.In nineteen sixteen, the city gained two more nicknames from a poem called "Chicago," written by Carl Sandburg. Here is the first part of the poem:Hog Butcher for the World,Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;Stormy, husky, brawling,City of the Big Shoulders.Chicago was called Hog Butcher for the World because of its huge meat-processing industry. And, it was called The City of the Big Shoulders or City of Broad Shoulders because of its importance to the nation.There are several songs about Chicago. "My Kind of Town" was made popular by Frank Sinatra in nineteen sixty-four.(MUSIC)This program was written by Shelley Gollust. I'm Faith Lapidus.Qs: How many nicknames does Chicago have?The Second city, windy city, hog butcher and the city of the big shoulder. Contrary to popular belief, Sam Walton (the founder of Wal-Mart) was not from Arkansas. He was actually born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father's store while attending school. This was his first retailing experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduating from the University of Missouri in 1940, he began his own career as a retail merchant when he opened the first of several franchises of the Ben Franklin five-and-dime franchises in Arkansas.This would lead to bigger and better things and he soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name-brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today. After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his "profit sharing plan". The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profitability of the store. Sam Walton believed that "individuals don't win, teams do". Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. Walton believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company's success, they would care about the company.By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart's unique decentralized distribution system, also Walton's idea, created the edge needed to further spur growth in the 1980s amidst growing complaints that the "superstore" was squelching smaller, traditional Mom and Pop stores. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest U.S. retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.Walton died in 1992, being the world's second richest man, behind Bill Gates. He passed his company down to his three sons, daughter and wife. Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated (locatedin Bentonville, Arkansas) is also in charge of "Sams Club". Wal-Mart stores now operate in Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, China and Puerto Rico. Sam Walton's visions were indeed successful.Will Computers Replace Human Beings?We are in the computer age today. The computers are working all kinds of wonders now. They are very useful in automatic control and data processing. At the same time, computers are finding their way into the home. They seem to be so clever and can solve such complicated problems that some people think sooner or later they will replace us.But I do not think that there is such a possibility. My reason is very simple: computers are machines, not humans. And our tasks are far too various and complicated for any one single kind of machine to perform.Probably the greatest difference between man and computer is that the former can do things of his own while the latter can do nothing without being programmed. In my opinion, computers will remain nothing but an extension of our human brains, no matter how clever and complicated they may become.Դ: /exam/22608.shtml。

“23年12月六级听力”原文如下:Section ADirections:In this section,you will hear two long conversations.At the end of each conversation,you will hear four questions.Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked (A) ,(B) ,(C) and(D) .Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneM:Hello, Doctor.W:Hello, please take a seat. I have your test results here, and it's good news. (1) The blood test came back clear. There is no indication of any digestive issues.M:So then, why do I feel so poorly all the time?W:It's probably due to overwork and stress.M:No, it can't be. I've always been working hard, but I've never felt stress. Other people suffer and complain about that, but I don't. It must be something else.W:What you have just described is a common sentiment.(2 )Many people who suffer from stress fail to recognize it.You told me you often work long into the night, right?M:Yes, most days in fact. But I've been doing that forabout20years now.W:That doesn't matter. You could have been suffering from stress for20years without knowing it. And now it's catching up to you.M:But what about my feeling tired all the time, and not being able to sleep well at night?W:Those are common consequences of stress. And if you don't sleep well, then of course you will feel fatigued. (3) I'm going to prescribe some special sleeping pills for you.They have a soft, gentle effect, and are made from natural ingredients. So your stomach should tolerate them fine, and there shouldn't be any negative side effects. Take one with your dinner, and come see me after a month. If there is no improvement, I'll give you something stronger.M:Thank you, Doctor.W:That's not all. You should try and work less. Is there any way you can decrease your workload?M:Um, I'd have to think about it. I'm a restaurant manager, (4) and this industry is very competitive. There are many things to keep track of and stay on top of.W:I recommend you think about delegating some responsibilities to someone else. I'm not asking you to retire, just to slow down a bit. It's for your own health.Questions1to4are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1.What do we learn about the man from his test results?Q2.What does the woman think is a common phenomenon among many people?Q3. What does the woman say she will do for the man?Q4.What does the man say about the industry he is engaged in?Conversation TwoW:Today on People in the News, our guest is John Williams. The name may not sound familiar to you, but John was once an acclaimed basketball player. John, you stunned fans by leaving the sport at just25. Why did you retire so early?M:Meg, (5-1)I loved being an athlete, but I didn't love being a celebrity.I was in the limelight when I was still a high school student, and went professional right after high school graduation, which was a mistake. (5-2) I was a shy kid, and I wasn't ready for all the media attention.W:But walking away from millions of dollars at the height of your career? Most people wouldn't be able to resist the lure of such a high salary. When you left the sport, there was speculation that you were having issues with your teammates, or even an injury.M:Not at all. It was hard to quit. I was tempted to stay in the game, because I loved basketball, and I loved my team. As for money, I turned professional at18, so I'd actually earned a lot and saved most of it,because I had great financial advisors. (6) I knew basketball wasn't a career with a lot of longevity for most players.So I wanted to change careers while I was still young.W:(7)Okay, that was20years ago, and you're back in the news.You've created a foundation that works to get more kids playing team sports. Why?M:(8) I went to university, and I studied public health and learned about the seriousness of the obesity epidemic, particularly among kids and adolescents in poor communities. I've spent the last two decades trying to alleviate the problem.The Foundation is just the latest attempt.W:The Foundation uses private donations to support basketball teams for girls and boys in primary school, right?M:Actually, we support teams for secondary school students, too. And also have some public funding.Questions5to8are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5.Why did John Williams leave the sport of basketball at just25?Q6.What does the man say about basketball as a career for most players?Q7.What do we learn from the woman about John Williams20years later?Q8.What has the man spent the last two decades trying to do?Section BDirections:In this section,you will hear two passages.At the end of each passage,you will hear three or four questions.Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A) ,B) ,C) and D) .Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1with a single line through the centre.Passage OneKate Atkinson was born in York, England in1951. She worked hard to gain her credentials as an author. She studied English literature at University in Scotland. After graduating in1974, she researched a doctorate on American literature. Later, she taught at the university she graduated from, and began writing short stories in1981. (9) She began writing for women's magazines after winning the1986Women's Own Short Story Competition.Her first novel, , won the1995UK Book of the Year award. The book is set in Yorkshire and has been adapted for radio, theatre, and TV. She has written two plays for a theatre in Edinburgh. The first was called and the second, , performed as part of the Edinburgh Festival in August2000.(10)Whatever genre Atkinson writes in, her books touch on the themes of love and loss and how to carry on.They are always presented with ingenuity and a wicked sense of humor. Her books tend to bepopulated by odd, sometimes sinful, and generally flawed eccentrics who become credible by virtue of being so fully realized.Her books have frequently been described as comedies of manners. That is to say, comedies that represent the complex and sophisticated code of behavior current in fashionable circles of society,where appearances count more than true moral character. (11) A comedy of manners tends to reward its clever and deceitful characters, rather than punish their bad deeds.The humor of a comedy of manners relies on verbal wit and playful teasing.Questions9to11are based on the passage you have just heard.Q9.When did Kate Atkinson begin to write for women's magazines?Q10.What did Kate Atkinson's books touch on?Q11.What do we learn about the clever and deceitful characters in a comedy of manners?Passage Two(12-1) Why is adaptability an important skill to exercise in the workplace?(12-2) Simply put, adaptability is a skill employers are increasingly looking for.When you spend time learning a new task rather than resisting it, your productivity goes up. You can also serve as an example to your coworkers who may be having trouble adapting, and can help lead your team forward.Strategy consultant, Dorie Clark, explains it to us this way: “I'd say that adaptability is an important skill in the workplace because, frankly, circumstances change—competitors introduce new products, the economy might enter a recession, customer preferences differ over time, and more. If you shake your fist at the sky and say,‘why can't it stay the same?!’,that's not going to do very much good. Instead, you need to recognize when circumstances have changed so you can take appropriate action based on what is, rather than how you wish the world would be.(13) That enables you to make more accurate,informed,and effective choices.”Also, the workplace itself has been evolving. (14) Today's work culture and management style is often based on teamwork, rather than a rigid hierarchy.Brainstorming, which requires creativity, flexibility, and emotional intelligence, is a typical problem-solving technique. Employees who are unable or unwilling to participate will not easily move forward in the company.Employees who are flexible demonstrate other skills too. (15) They can reprioritize quickly when changes occur and suggest additional modifications when something is not working.They can also regroup quickly when a setback occurs, adapting to the new situation confidently and without overreacting.Questions12to15are based on the passage you have just heard.Q12.Why does the speaker say adaptability is an important skill to exercise in the workplace?Q13.What does adaptability enable us to do according to strategy consultant Dorie Clark?Q14.What do we learn about today's work culture from the passage?Q15.What are employees with adaptability able to do when changes occur?Section CDirections:In this section,you will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followed by three or four questions.The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A) ,B) ,C) and D) .Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1with a single line through the centre.Recording One(16) What makes humans different from other species?Some philosophers argue it's morals or ethics, while some scientists assert it's our greater cognitive development. But I argue that the main difference is our desire to combat routine. This makes being creative a biological mandate, as what we seek in art and technology is surprise, not simply a fulfillment of expectations. As a result, a wild imaginationhas characterized the history of our species:we build intricate habitats, devise complex recipes for our food, wear clothes that reflect constant changes in fashion, communicate with elaborate signs, symbols and sounds, and travel between habitats on wings and wheels of our own design.To satisfy our appetite for novelty, innovation is key.But who innovates?Now, many people, both laymen and experts, believe that only geniuses innovate. (17) But I believe that innovation is not something that only a few people do.The innovative drive lives in every human brain, and the resulting war against the repetitive is what powers the massive changes that distinguish one generation from the next. The drive to create the new is a trait of being human. We build cultures by the hundreds and tell new stories by the millions. We create and surround ourselves with things that have never existed before, while animals do not.But where do our new ideas come from?According to many, new ideas come from seemingly nowhere, to great minds. From this perspective, new ideas are almost like magic. They come in a flash of inspiration to a select few. However, the reality is that, across the spectrum of human activities, prior work propels the creative process. We may think of innovation as being the result ofinspiration or genius, but it's really the result of developing the ideas of others further. This happens in technology where one invention enables or inspires further inventions. And it happens in the arts, as writers, composers, and painters use the work of previous artists in their own work. (18) The human brain works from precedent. We take the ideas we've inherited and put them together into some new shape.What is a true creator? Is a creator a genius who makes something out of nothing?No. Creators are simply humans who use what they inherit who absorb the past and manipulate it to create possible futures. Thus, humans are creators as a rule rather than as an exception.Questions16to18are based on the recording you have just heard.Q16.What question does the speaker address in this talk?Q17.What does the speaker believe about innovation?Q18.How does the human brain work according to the speaker?Recording Two(19) Many dog owners will tell you that their dog somehow knows when they're ill or upset, and, according to researchers who study dog cognition, those pet owners are right.Dogs do know when their human companions are having a rough time. Not only can your dog sense when you have a cold, but domestic dogs have shown an aptitude for detecting both much smaller moodfluctuations and far more serious physical conditions.This is because dogs are extremely sensitive to changes in the people they're familiar with, and illness causes change.(20)If a person is infected with a virus or bacteria, for example, their odour will be abnormal, and dogs are able to smell that change even if a human can't, because dogs have a much more powerful sense of smell than humans.Researchers have also found that a person's mood, which can be an indicator of a larger illness, triggers a dog's sense of smell. Human emotions manifest physically in chemical signals that are emitted by the body, and dogs are able to smell those as well.Beyond smell, dogs gather information from a person's voice in order to sense changes. In2014, researchers discovered that dogs have an area of the brain,similar to one in humans,that allows them to understand emotional cues in the tone of a speaker's voice, beyond what they'd be able to pick up from familiar words alone. A person's voice can also carry indicators of illness.What's not understood quite so well is what dogs understand about these changes. Humans send out lots of cues, but whether dogs know some of these cues mean “illness”isn't clear. What we perceive as concern on a dog's part might be more like increased curiosity or suspicion that something is wrong with us, and sticking close by is a great way to gather more information about the situation.Some researchers assert dogs will one day help doctors diagnose diseases, as some dogs have already demonstrated the ability to detect an assortment of ailments, including diabetes and certain types of cancer.But those researchers concede that's probably in the distant future.(21)For now, research suggests dog ownership can have an array of benefits in and of itself. Keeping a pet dog has been shown to bolster health and boost mood.Dogs also help people relax, and they can be a particular comfort to those with chronic diseases.Questions19to21are based on the recording you have just heard.Q19.What view of many dog owners wins support from researchers studying dog cognition?Q20.Why can dogs detect their owner's abnormal odor according to the speaker?Q21.What does research suggest, for now, about dog ownership?Recording Three(22) Earlier this month, the think-tank called Onward published a report,“A Question of Degree”, which argues that degrees in the creative arts are not good value for money.Ministers, according to Onward, should “crack down on courses that offer extremely limited value for money to students ten years after graduation”, restricting the ability of such courses to recruit newstudents, if the average graduate earns below the student loans payment threshold.Courses like science, technology, engineering, and math, and economics, where the average graduate earns a lot, should be favored.The report provides insight into a government review which looks at how to reform technical education and how to ensure students get good value for money.(23) At first glance, it might even seem like Onward have a point.According to their data, the majority of creative arts students earn less than£25, 000a year,ten years after graduation. The average male creative arts students, indeed, apparently earn much less than they would,had they simply never gone to university.This isn't really good for anyone—and it's certainly no good for graduates, who are forced to endure a lifestyle where they can never save up, never buy a house, never hope to retire.Onward have identified a real problem. Creative arts graduates from top universities like Oxford, with a high proportion of privately-educated students, have fairly good work prospects,(24) while 40percent of all graduates—regardless of their degree—are on less than£25, 000a year,five years after graduation.(25) This suggests that the problem isn't really to do with specific students studying specific degrees, but really with the economy as a whole.Regardless of what they've studied, young people find it hard toget ahead, unless they're lucky enough to be born with successful parents.If ministers want to make education pay for young people, they need to look beyond the higher education sector,towards the wider world.The rewards that education gives us are not measurable—they are not always instantly obvious, and certainly not always direct. An education makes you a different person from the one you would have been if you hadn't received it. We need to look at the value of education not in the context of a bank balance, but of a life. If we continue to allow ourselves to be distracted with talk of “value for money”, we will all be made poorer as a result.Questions22to25are based on the recording you have just heard.Q22.What does Onward's report propose ministers should do?Q23.What does the speaker think of Onward's arguments?Q24.What do we learn about British college graduates,five years after graduation?Q25.What does the speaker say actually accounts for the problem identified by Onward?。

大学英语听力演讲稿范文
Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon. It is my great honor to stand before you today to deliver a speech on the topic of "The Power of Listening: Enhancing Communication and Relationships." As we all know, communication is an essential skill in our daily lives, and listening is a crucial component of effective communication. Today, I would like to explore the significance of listening, its impact on our relationships, and how we can improve our listening skills.Firstly, let us delve into the importance of listening. Listening is not merely about passively receiving information; it is an active process that involves understanding, interpreting, and responding to the messages conveyed by others. Here are some reasons why listening is vital:1. Building trust and rapport: When we listen attentively to others, we show that we value their opinions and feelings. This fosters a sense of trust and rapport, which is the foundation of any healthy relationship.2. Enhancing empathy: Active listening allows us to understand the perspectives and emotions of others. This empathy is essential for resolving conflicts and creating a harmonious environment.3. Improving communication: Effective communication is a two-way street. By listening actively, we can better understand the needs and expectations of others, which helps us to tailor our messages accordingly.4. Enhancing personal growth: Listening to diverse perspectives and ideas can broaden our horizons and inspire us to think critically. It encourages us to learn from others and develop our own knowledge and skills.Now, let's examine how listening impacts our relationships. Relationships are built on mutual understanding and respect. When we listen to our loved ones, friends, and colleagues, we demonstrate that we care about their well-being and are committed to nurturing thoserelationships. Here are some ways in which listening can strengthen our relationships:1. Strengthening family bonds: Active listening within the family can help to resolve conflicts, foster open communication, and create a nurturing environment for everyone.2. Improving friendship: By listening to our friends, we can better understand their needs and provide the emotional support they require. This strengthens the bond between friends.3. Enhancing professional relationships: In the workplace, effective listening can lead to better collaboration, increased productivity, and a more positive work environment.To improve our listening skills, we can adopt the following strategies:1. Pay attention: Avoid distractions such as checking your phone or thinking about what you will say next. Instead, focus on the speaker and what they are trying to convey.2. Show interest: Nod, smile, and use encouraging words like "I see" or "Go on" to show that you are engaged in the conversation.3. Avoid interrupting: Let the speaker finish their thoughts before you respond. Interrupting can hinder effective communication and make the other person feel undervalued.4. Reflect and paraphrase: Summarize or paraphrase what the speaker has said to ensure that you have understood their message accurately.5. Ask questions: Clarifying questions can help you gain a deeper understanding of the speaker's perspective and demonstrate your interest in their thoughts.6. Be patient: Sometimes, it takes time for the speaker to express their thoughts clearly. Be patient and give them the space to articulate their message.In conclusion, the power of listening cannot be overstated. It is a fundamental skill that enhances communication, fosters relationships,and contributes to personal growth. By developing our listening skills, we can create a more connected and understanding world. Let us all strive to become better listeners, not just for the sake of others, but for our own growth and well-being.Thank you for your attention, and I hope that this speech has inspired you to become more conscious listeners in your daily lives.Thank you.。
英语演讲稿大学听力原文
英语演讲稿大学听力原文Good morning, everyone. Today, I am honored to stand here and share with you some thoughts on the topic of college English listening.As we all know, listening is an essential part of language learning, and it plays a crucial role in our daily communication. For college students, improving English listening skills is of great importance. Firstly, it helps us better understand the content of English lectures, discussions, and presentations. With good listening skills, we can grasp the main points and details of the information conveyed, which is beneficial for our academic studies.Secondly, good listening skills are also essential for our future career development.In the workplace, we need to communicate with colleagues, clients, and partners in English. Effective listening enables us to understand others' opinions, respond appropriately, and avoid misunderstandings. Therefore, college students should attach great importance to the cultivation of English listening skills.So, how can we improve our English listening skills? Here are some practical tips. Firstly, it is essential to expose ourselves to authentic English listening materials, such as English movies, TV shows, and radio programs. By listening to native speakers' natural speech, we can get used to the rhythm, intonation, and pronunciation of English.Secondly, we should make good use of online resources, such as TED talks, podcasts, and online courses. These resources cover a wide range of topics and speakers, providing us with opportunities to practice listening to different accents and styles of English.In addition, it is beneficial to practice listening to English in various situations. For example, we can listen to English songs while doing housework, or listen to English news during our daily commute. By integrating English listening into our daily lives, we can enhance our listening skills in a relaxed and enjoyable way.Furthermore, it is important to actively participate in English listening activities, such as English corner discussions, English speech contests, and English club events.Through these activities, we can not only listen to others' speeches and presentations but also have the chance to express our own ideas in English, which is conducive to improving our overall English proficiency.In conclusion, English listening is a vital skill for college students, and it requires continuous practice and effort to improve.

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon! It is my great honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on a topic that is deeply rooted in our lives and our future – the power of education. Education is not just a tool for personal development, but it is also a fundamental key to shaping our future and the future of our society.As we all know, education is the cornerstone of a nation's progress. It is through education that we acquire knowledge, develop criticalthinking skills, and cultivate our character. In this speech, I will discuss the importance of education, the challenges it faces, and how we can harness its power to build a better tomorrow.Firstly, let us delve into the importance of education. Education is the bedrock upon which our civilization stands. It is the foundation for personal growth and the engine for societal development. Here are a few reasons why education is so crucial:1. Knowledge Acquisition: Education equips us with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the world. From the basic arithmetic to the advanced theories of physics, education empowers us to understand the world around us and make informed decisions.2. Economic Growth: Education is the driving force behind economic development. A well-educated workforce is more productive, innovative, and adaptable. It is through education that we create jobs, foster entrepreneurship, and drive economic progress.3. Social Cohesion: Education plays a vital role in promoting social cohesion and reducing inequality. By providing equal opportunities to all, education ensures that individuals from diverse backgrounds can contribute to society and live fulfilling lives.4. Personal Development: Education is not just about academic achievements; it is also about personal development. It helps us cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. These skills are essential for our personal growth and success in life.However, despite its numerous benefits, education faces several challenges. Some of these challenges include:1. Access to Education: Unfortunately, millions of children worldwide do not have access to quality education. This is primarily due to poverty, conflicts, and inadequate infrastructure. Bridging the education gap is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.2. Quality of Education: In many countries, the quality of education is subpar. This is often attributed to a lack of qualified teachers, outdated curricula, and inadequate resources. Improving the quality of education is crucial to ensure that students receive the best possible learning experience.3. Gender Inequality: Despite progress, gender inequality in education persists. Many girls are denied the right to education, leading to a significant loss of potential and perpetuating the cycle of poverty and inequality.4. Technological Disruption: The rapid advancements in technology have brought both opportunities and challenges to the education sector. While technology can enhance learning experiences, it also poses a threat to traditional teaching methods and requires continuous adaptation.To harness the power of education and overcome these challenges, we must take several steps:1. Increase Investment in Education: Governments and private entities must prioritize investment in education. This includes allocating sufficient funds for infrastructure, hiring qualified teachers, and providing scholarships for underprivileged students.2. Promote Inclusive Education: We must strive to make education inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of gender, race, or socio-economic background. This involves creating awareness, advocating for policies, and providing support to marginalized groups.3. Embrace Technology: We should leverage technology to enhance learning experiences and bridge the education gap. This includes integratingdigital tools into classrooms, providing online resources, and training teachers to use technology effectively.4. Focus on Teacher Development: Teachers are the backbone of the education system. Investing in teacher training, professional development, and mentorship programs can significantly improve the quality of education.5. Foster Lifelong Learning: Education should not end with formal schooling. We must encourage lifelong learning, which involves continuous acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This will enable individuals to adapt to the rapidly changing world and contribute to societal progress.In conclusion, the power of education is immense. It is through education that we can build a better future for ourselves and our society. By addressing the challenges it faces and harnessing its power, we can create a world where knowledge, equality, and progress thrive.Thank you for your attention. Let us join hands and work together to ensure that education becomes a force for good, shaping our future for the better.。

2024武汉初中三调英语听力稿全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 10-year-old student in the 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about my school life and some of the things I've been learning lately. Grab a snack and get comfy, because this is going to be a long one!School just started up again a few weeks ago after our summer break. I was really excited to go back and see all my friends again. We had so many stories to catch up on from our holidays! My best friend Amy went to Beijing with her parents and got to see the Great Wall. How cool is that? I'm a little jealous I didn't get to go anywhere that exciting. My family just stayed in Wuhan, but we did get to go to some fun water parks which was nice to beat the heat.The first day back was mostly just getting our schedules, finding our classrooms, and meeting our new teachers. I have Ms. Wang for math this year. She seems really nice so far, though the math they teach keeps getting harder every year! We've startedlearning about fractions and decimals this term. It's pretty confusing stuff but I'm working hard to understand it all.Mr. Li is my English teacher again this year, which I'm happy about. He's great at explaining things in a way that makes sense. In English class so far we've been reviewing a lot of vocabulary, grammar basics like verb tenses, and working on our listening comprehension. Listening is probably my weakest area in English so I really need to focus on that.One of my favorite classes is science with Mrs. Zhang. We just started a really cool unit all about the human body. So far we've learned about the skeletal system and different types of bones. We even got to do an experiment where we put a chicken bone in vinegar for a few days and it turned really bendy and rubbery! Mrs. Zhang says next we're going to learn about the muscular system which I'm excited for. The human body is just so fascinating.In history recently, we've been studying ancient China and learning about some of the biggest dynasties like the Qin, Han, and Tang. My favorite part was getting to see all the artifacts and treasures from those time periods. Things like bronze vessels, jade carvings, and beautiful pottery with intricate designs. I'dlove to be an archaeologist someday and go on digs to discover those kinds of treasures myself!For art class, we've been working on still life drawings using pencils and charcoal. It's really tricky trying to get all the shading and proportions right, but I'm proud of the pictures I've made so far. My mom framed the drawing I did of a bowl of fruit and hung it up in our kitchen. I felt so accomplished!Phew, I've talked a lot about academics, but school isn't all just classes and homework of course. My favorite part of the day is always lunchtime when I get to hang out and play with my friends. We have picnic tables outside where we can eat our lunchboxes and then usually spend recess running around playing tag or jump rope games. Sometimes we also play jianzi, which is where you kick a weighted shuttlecock back and forth trying not to let it hit the ground. It's a lot harder than it looks!After school, I'm also involved in a few extracurricular activities. On Mondays, I have Chinese yo-yo club where we practice all sorts of cool tricks with those small double-rimmed yo-yos. It takes a lot of patience and determination, but landing a new trick is always so satisfying. Then on Wednesdays, I go to wushu classes to learn traditional Chinese martial arts and sword forms. My parents got me into it to help build discipline andfocus. I'll admit the classes are tough, but they've helped me gain a lot of confidence too.In my free time outside of school, I also really enjoy reading, especially fantasy adventure books. Some of my favorites are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl...any book where the main characters go on these epic journeys and use their wits to get out of sticky situations. I dream of one day writing my own series about a young wizard or something like that. A girl can dream, right?Well, I think that's about all the big updates I have to share about my life right now. Thank you for listening to me ramble on! Being a 5th grader keeps me pretty busy as you can see. Between all the schoolwork, activities, and just being a kid, my days are always jam-packed. But I wouldn't have it any other way - I'm learning and growing so much. This is such an amazing age. I just hope I can keep holding on to this endless feeling of curiosity and wonder about the world around me. Until next time!篇2大家好!我是小明,今天我要给大家分享一些有趣的事情。
