Dictation 1 Superstition 迷信One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious,and they'll do everything from hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers,touching wood and absolutely never walking under a ladder.And they're careful about cats.Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches,so if one is following you it's definitely bad luck- a witch is after you!On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues then it's good luck because it hasn't noticed you.However, in some places the beliefs are different- so it pays to know where your black cat comes from!Old superstitions linger even in today's modern world.The author Philip Pullman drew on them in his award winning novel "His Dark Materials".The novel, which appeals to both children and adults,has been adapted for radio and also the theatre.Dictation 2 Graduate Student 研究生Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study.They study to become experts in this field and to learn new advances in their fields while they earn an M.A. or Ph.D.Sometimes when they get an M. A. in one field they begin studying another field.They hope that when they earn their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding important jobs.They hope to get jobs that are interesting and high paying.The life of a graduate student is often difficult.They are usually too busy studying to make a good living.Often they have to pay high tuition fees for their education.Some give up studying before they get their degrees.But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate.In today's world, most graduate students don't regret spending time with their studies.They are finding that new developments are occurring in all fields.For many graduate study has become a necessity.Dictation 3 April Fool's Day 愚人节1st April is a day to be careful,or you could easily get tricked by someone.It's April Fool's Day,a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them.There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day,but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century,which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year.Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools.So what kind of pranks do people play on April Fool's Day?Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends.For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it,so that people try to pull it off.You could change the time on someone's alarm clock so that they're late for work.Dictation 4 Living Online 网上生活How do you meet new people, make new friends,or find out about the latest bands?Here in the UK young people have traditionally done their socializing in bars, pubs and clubs.However, there is a new generation growing up that finds it easier to manage their social lives on the net,using free websites like MySpace, Bebo or MSN Spaces.Welcome to the social networking website- a place where you can present yourself to the digital community and meet other like-minded people.The most successful social networking website in the UK is .As of July 2006, MySpace is the world's fourth most popular English-language website,attracting almost 3 millionvisitors per month.MySpace claims to have 95 million members with 500,000 new members joining the community each week.So how has it become so successful?Perhaps its secret is in its simplicity.Each new member can build their own page simply- uploading photos, videos and MP3 files.Dictation 5 Mother's Day 母亲节Does your mother know how much you appreciate her?Well, Mother's Day is the time to show her.It's a chance to say 'thank you',or to tell your mum how much you love her.In Britain, Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday,falls on a different day each year,because it takes place a few weeks before the festival of Easter.But it is always in the early springtime,which seems appropriate,as the season when new plants emerge,and baby birds and animals are born.In the USA, Mother's Day takes place a little later, in May,and many other countries also celebrate their mothers on different days of the year.It began many years ago, when children,especially girls, as young as 10 would live and work away from home as housemaids and other types of servant.Mothering Sunday was a day when everyone was allowed to go to their home village or town, and visit their mothers.Dictation 6 Online Shopping 网上购物With only two weeks to go before Christmas,buying presents is a high priority for a lot of people.However, this year not so many people are leaving their homesto browse around the shops.These days lots of people can do their shopping in the comfort of their own home with the help of the internet.Online shopping is becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons;prices are often lower online,you don't have to queue up in busy shops and you can buy almost any product imaginable with just a few clicks of your puter trends are often male-dominated but this year women are expected to do more shopping on the internet than men.It seems women are now more attracted to the convenience of online shopping than they used to be.Average spending online this Christmas by women will rise to 240 pounds compared to the slightly lower average of 233 pounds for men.Dictation 7 Reality TV 真实电视The latest fashion on British TV is Reality TV.Reality TV means that shows follow and film ordinary people in an artificial situation.This could be at work, or in some kind of competition.One of the first and most popular Reality TV shows is Big Brother.In this show, 15 complete strangers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks.They are filmed 24 hours a day, and shown on television.Each week, the viewers vote to evict one of the housemates.Finally, only one is left,and they win the prize money! The show was an instant hit,and runs in several countries.The housemates often become stars as a result of the show,and appear in national newspapers and on other shows.Another very popular show is I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!In this show, 10 celebrities have to complete tasks each week,such as eating insects.Dictation 8 School 学校September is traditionally the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in the UK.It is also the month when children go back to school after their long summerholidays.There are two types of school in England.State-run schools are paid for by the government,so are free to attend.Independent Schools are private,which means you have to pay to attend.The school day usually starts at 9 in the morning and finishes around 4,with breaks for lunch of course!In many schools, you have to wear a uniform too.Children start school when they are 5 years old.This is called primary school,and lasts until the child is 11 when he or she will go on to senior school.Secondary school is compulsory from 11 until 16 years of age.At 16, students take national examinations called GCSE's.After this, students can stay at school for another 2 years and take A Level examinations.Dictation 9 The Modern Family 现代家庭Father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast.The two children take the bus to school,and mother stays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening.This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain.The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structure of families in Britain.The biggest change has been caused by divorce.As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce,leading to a situation where many children live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or holidays.There has also been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work.The large rise in divorces has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children.Even when there is no divorce,many families need both parents to work in order to survive.Dictation 10 Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节On 25th September this year, people all over China will be getting together to eat with their families,look at the moon and celebrate one of the biggest festivalsin the Chinese lunar calendar.However, the celebrations stretch far beyond the borders of China.Here in the UK events are taking place for Chinese people living here,and to teach the people of Britain more about this popular festival.The Soho Theatre in London conducted a study which showed that Chinese Londoners don't engage much with the arts world.As a result, 'Moon walking In China has been created to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.This is no normal theatre production though,as it doesn't take place in the theatre.Theatre professionals and volunteers from the local community will take audiences around the streets of Soho on a magical lantern-lit walk through the landmarks and backstreets of Chinatown.Dictation 11 The Dragon 龙When many people in the west think of China,the animal that they think of is the dragon.For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire.Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people however,the dragon is not an evil monster.It's a cultural and spiritual symbolfor prosperity and good luck.The dragon's main task is to create harmony and bring rain.Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture,and of course the dragon dance is a very popular lions of Chinese have the word 'long',meaning dragon, as part of their name.China isn't the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales, one of the four countries in the UK,has a red dragon proudly displayed on itsflag.The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan,the tiny country between China and India.Dictation 12 Rainy Britain 阴雨的英国Britain is famous around the world for its rainy weather,but many parts of the country this June are experiencing much more rain than they have ever seen before.Torrential downpours have caused rivers to burst their banks,roads have been closed and many people have been evacuated from their homes because of the floods.The worst hit area seems to be the north of England.There have even been fatalities as people got stuck in the rain or were washed away by the floodwaters.Flood warnings have been issued in many parts of the UK and it is said that over a month's worth of rain has fallen in just the last couple of days.The rain has also caused chaosat some of Britain's famous June events.The Glastonbury festival is a four-day-long outdoor music festival and while it is traditionally quite rainy and muddy there,this year was particularly bad.Dictation 13 Christmas traditions 圣诞节传统There are many ways to celebrate Christmas,and some British people like to go on holiday,go out for lunch to a restaurant,or spend the day with friends.But most people's idea of a traditional Christmas involves spending a few days with their family- sometimes their extended family.The day is the most exciting for the children. They may have spent weeks or even months dreaming of the presents they want most. Since the beginning of December,they may have opened their advent calendars,finding a new festive picture, chocolate, or small gift,to count down each day until 25th December.On Christmas Eve, they hang up stockings,ready to be filled with presents by Santa Claus.Often a thank you gift of a mince pie and a glass of sherry will be left,as well as a carrot for those hungry reindeer.Dictation 14 Olympic Slogan 奥运口号Beijing unveiled the slogan for the 2008 Olympics "One World, One Dream" was finally selected from more than 210,000 entries from around the world.Beijing's original bid to host the 2008 games had a different slogan "New Beijing, Great Olympics".The organizers felt the new slogan shifted the focus nicely from the city of Beijing itself to the spirit of the Olympics- unity, friendship amongst nations and progress.It was also felt that the "One World, One Dream" slogan captured the traditional Chinese values of peace and harmony.The Olympics hasn't always had a slogan attached to each host country.In fact it wasn't until 1988 at the Seoul Olympics in South Korea that the first slogan appeared."Harmony and Progress" was chosen and it seems to have been a popular theme over the years.Dictation 15 Sunbed 太阳床In the UK, a country known for its bad weather and lack of sunshine,there appears to be an ever increasing number of very tanned young people.So just how are they achieving their golden tans?Some are opting for the sun-free option and are getting their tan from a bottle.However, it appears that others are turning to tanning salons, of which there are thousands in the UK.While in China young people often prefer to remain fair,in the UK there seems to be a growing desire for tanned skin.So why dothe British prefer to be bronzed?Often, they are trying to emulate their favorite celebrities,footballers, or footballers' wives.Research from the British Sunbed Association suggests that many people believe a tan makes them feel and look healthier.This is a belief that is most definitely not shared by Cancer Research UK.They firmly state that being tanned is not a sign of health.Dictation 16 Speechwriting 写演讲稿The success of a speech is often attributed to the skill of the speaker,with merit being given to speakers who are confident, articulate,But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches,it is a speechwriter.And one industry in which this practice is common is that of politics. Well according to a recent job advertisement from the US Embassy in Britain,a political speechwriter needs to have exceptional interpersonal skills, be detail oriented and able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject.They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate to their style.Some believe that the best speechwriters have an inherent talent,a natural creative instinct,and that speechwriting is an art form.Dictation 17 A Walk in the Park 在公园散步Exercising in natural areas is not only good for your physical health-it can improve your mood and sense of well-being in as little as five minutes. Environmental Health and Technology.Exercise alone is known to make you happier.So is being in a natural setting.So scientists wanted to see the effect of combining the two.They evaluated 10 different UK studies involving more than 1,200 people.Participants had taken part in activities such as gardening,sailing and country walks, and rated their mood and self-esteem.The research showed that both areas get a significant boost with as little as five minutes of outdoor exercise.And people with mental disorders benefited the most.The study authors say this is the first study to quantify the amount of time needed to get a positive effect.Dictation 18 Fast food Makes Us Less Patient 快餐使我们失去耐性Fast food is a multibillion-dollar industry,and for some of us, drive-through dinner has become a way of life.Granted, sometimes we grab something quick because we really don't have time.But psychologists got to wondering whether all this speed eating might actually make us less patient.In a series of experiments,the scientists showed volunteers logos from several fast-food chains or asked them to recall the last time they'd visited.And they found that folks who had thought about fast food would then read faster,even though no one told them to hurry.And they also expressed a preference for time-saving products,like shampoo plus conditioner.And they tended to opt for immediate rewards,like getting a small cash payment right away rather than waiting a week for a larger sum.So if you want to ease the pace,forget meditation. Try a slow cooker.Dictation 19 Light All Night Not Alright 整夜开灯并非好事A nightlight may keep those monsters under the bed.But it may also open the door to the blues.If you have access to electricity,you no doubt switch on a lamp,maybe even watch a little TV,after the sun goes down.But our bodies use cues about lightness and dark to regulate our hormones and of course our sleep cycles.So what might these extra photons be doing to our health?To find out, scientists housed micein a room where the lights were always on.After three weeks,they found that mice who lived in the spotlight showed symptoms of depression,more so than mice who enjoyed eight hours of darkness at night.Interestingly, mice who could escape the light by ducking into a dark tube also escaped the worst of the depression.So flip that light switch at your own risk.Because the artificial brightness that helps keep us up could also bring us down.Dictation 20 London 2012 Olympic Games 伦敦2012奥运会After a hard-fought campaign,London has been awarded the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games.The UK capital saw off competition from four rival cities:Paris, Madrid, Moscow and New York.Londoners can now look forward to the transformation of their city in the same way as their counterparts in Beijing.Indeed, there are many similarities in the two cities approach to hosting the games.Both cities need to invest in developing their infrastructure in order to cope with the demands of the event.However, this kind of investment is far from cheap- it is estimated that it will cost around $40 billion to prepare for the 2008 games,much of which will be spent on transport links.Nevertheless, the benefits of becoming an Olympic city can be enormous- Barcelona, which hosted the 1992 games,was completely regenerated and has since become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.Dictation 21 Picnic 野餐As summertime begins in Britain,people start to feel the urge to go outside to eat.People love to have a picnic whenever the weather is good enough,especially people with children.It's a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.Even in the centre of London, on a sunny day,the parks are full of office worker seating their lunch outside on the grass.That might be a pretty basic picnic- a shop-bought sandwich and a bottle of water.But if people are planning a picnic on the beach or at the park,they would probably pack a cool bag with a whole variety of home-made sandwiches,snacks, cake, fruit and soft drinks.They might have a picnic rug to sit on,and paper plates and cups.University students enjoy having picnics,and usually take along some kind of sports equipment,such as a ball in order to burn off some energy after lunch.Dictation 23 The Compass 指南针A magnetic compass is a device that has been used for centuries now,and its utility in helping people find their way is undoubted.Before technology gave us the privilege of GPS navigation systems,the act of finding out where you are and which side is northwas carried out simply with the help of a compass.We've all seen a compass at some point or the other,and this has almost always led us to the question"How does a compass work?"The answer to this question can be explained through the concept of the earth's electromagnetism.Simply speaking, a compass is basically a small magnet that has a needle attached on one end.The other end of the magnet is attached to a freely moving pin.When the compass is held out steadily,the magnet becomes parallel with the magnetic field of the Earth,and this causes it to point north.Dictation 24 Ball Games 球类运动Ball games have become an integral part of modern society.They give usentertainment providing us a means to safely free ourselves from stress.There are many different ball games that can do this for us.Some people enjoy football, while others like basketball.These two ball games are the most popular in China.Other games such as baseball are growing in appeal,yet have not become popular.The development of these games is interesting.Basketball is one of the few sports with a known date of birth.Football, or soccer, originally developed from traits found in both China and Europe.It has grown to become the world's most popular sport.In Europe, football clubs have been established,which in turn has been copied in the rest of the world.These football clubs train players who may later go to play for their nations in the World Cup.This is the most watched ballgame championship on the planet.Dictation 25 Water Sports 水上运动The history of man's involvement with water sports stretches back before history was written down.It is a history of the development of technology as well as human physical achievement.Man first took to water in boats that sailed around the world with nothing but the stars to guide them.The seas and rivers were a mystery to be feared,for lurked unknown creatures and death by drowning.Few actually ventured into the water.As a sport, however, water sports such as swimming, diving,and water polo are new comparatively to those on land.Probably the oldest one is rowing in a rowboat.This is seen in modern games such as competitions between rowing clubs in British and American universities.Olympic Water Sports began with swimming but did not end there.The different kinds of water sports such as diving or water skiing came later.Dictation 26 Famous Universities 名校Many countries have excellent universities.There are, however, few world famous ones.These universities have achieved their fame through a combination of both their age and the high levels of quality in their instruction.Throughout their histories,each one has been a testing ground for the leadership of the nation.In the United States, Harvard and Yale attract thousands of foreign students who would use what they learn for the advancement of their own nations.In this way, these schools have developed an interesting method of international communication.Graduates around the world are able to connect with each other by having graduated from one of the finest universities in the world.Leaders in every field, whether government officials or ground-breaking scientists,who graduated from the same school have a direct link to each other and understand each other much better.Dictation 27 Ideal Life 理想人生The ideal life is one that many people would like to pursue,yet few achieve.The balance between dreams and reality is one that is difficult to overcome.Many people choose a vocation in the hopes that it would bring them wealth and success.However, after years of labor in their chosen field,they begin to hate their jobs.This is mainly because they have neglected other parts of their lives in search of this success.These people devote their lives to working and are unable to separate themselves from their work.They find that it may not be enough.Some have jobs where their principles and emotional health are challenged by dishonesty or bad work environments.Thesepeople can begin to become influenced by the environment in which they work,leading to personal or health problems.This choice is not a permanent situation, however,as many people have chosen to change the values of their lives.Dictation 28 Reeducation and Employment 再教育和就业During the course of our lives,we must make many choices that we may come to regret.This is especially true when choosing a career.Jobs that sound exciting or rewarding become dull or not worth it as we live our daily existence.This is where reeducation can help.Occupational schools have been set up to train people in jobs that they may be better suited for.People can adapt their interests and talents through selected courses. They can learn cooking skills, which are always in great demand. Gardening is an option for those who enjoy the outdoorsor have a green thumb. If a person is interested in motors or cars, they can get training as a mechanic. Even more, the learning of a foreign language would allow them the opening of a dream life.The job qualification certificates they earn can also be used too enhance their resumes,so that they are trained in a variety of skills.Dictation 29 Made in China 中国制造The label, Made in China,is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.In the United States,shoppers at Wal-Mart the nation's largest retailer have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China.The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China.These goods are even readily available in other Asian nations,where Chinese-made goods are quite popular.Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside of China.The development of China has amazed the world with its growth.And also, as China is a developing economy with large amounts of labor,industries are beginning to relocatein an effort to minimize costs and increase profits.The results of these relocations are that nations are beginning to try to limit the flow of Chinese goods with the use of taxes and import restrictions.Dictation 30 Glaciers 冰川Glaciers are formed in places where the temperatures are extremely cold.This could even include places that are at sea level,but are mostly places that are high up on mountains.In such cold places it snows most of the year.This snow will settle down and when it snows again the lower layer of snow gets compressed.Every time it snows,the below layers will compress more,finally turning into hard ice.This ice is what forms the glacier.When the temperature rises slightly,the outer edges of the formed glacier and fresh snow will melt.a glacier to form and sustai For n itself it is of prime importance that the amount of snow that falls on it must be more than the amount of glacier that has melted.This is the only way in which the glacierwill be able to maintain itself and keep increasing in size year after year.Dictation 31 Oxygen 氧气Oxygen, that thing you breathe,that essential gas that keeps the world going round is really more important than you give it credit for.Oxygen is what essentially and literally keeps you alive and keeps you going.Consider this: people can survive fora few days without food and water,but do you think a person can survive even a few minutes without oxygen?No, the brain would die and the heart would stop pumping immediately.This is how essential oxygen is to the human body.It is used to convert fats and proteins from the food we consume into heat and energy for the body and its normal functioning.Oxygen is essential for the production of living cells and for respiration of these cells as well.Oxygen is also used in removing toxic waste from the body.Quite simply put, the more the oxygen there is in the body,the more energetic the body will be.Dictation 32 Purpose of Society 社会的作用One of the primary purposes of society is the formation of an organized group of individuals,who can support each other in various ways.It is in those difficult times that you realize the importance of being a part of society.It is the members of your social group who come forward to render all the help you need.The support given by society can be of the physical, emotional, financial or medical form.A society is characterized by social networks.They form an integral part of society.Social networks are defined as the maps of relationships between people.Relationships give rise to social interactions between people of a society.Individuals belonging to different ethnic groups can come together, thanks to societies.Their interactions give rise to strong social bonds that result in long-lasting relationships.A society gives rise to a family system and an organization of relationships,which form the heart of any social group.Dictation 33 Mountains 山脉Mountains are a type of landforms that are characterized by a higher elevation, in comparison to the surrounding areas.They are higher than 600 meters,and taller than the hills.The world's tallest mountains are located in Asia and the largest range of mountains is present in the Atlantic Ocean.Some of the highest mountain peaks are located in the oceans.Mountains represent varying climatic conditions based on their height.For example, in case of a tall mountain,the conditions at the base differ from the top of the mountain.In comparison to the mountain base,the top portion is colder and there is less oxygen and less protection from the sun's rays.It is estimated that half of the world population depends on mountains for water.In fact, the major rivers of the world are fed by mountains.Many mountains have glacial lakes that are formed due to melting of the glaciers.Dictation 34 Internet Relationship 网络关系Internet relationships are ones that are made through online communication with a prospective friend or date.Nowadays, many people are turning towards makings such relationships as they think these are more reliable than ones that are created by meeting in person.People have their own individual views regarding such relationships.Internet relationships can be made for the purpose of getting a date or just friendship.There is a debate going on in the online community about these online relationships.Some say that these kind of bonding is not at all reliable,as anyone can pose as a person who he is not, in reality.On the other hand,if you use the Internet in the best possible manner,this bonding can go well further genuinely.This simply means that, along with emails and chats,if you use real-time。

But over the past seventy years or so, [1] there has been a massive increase in one type of crime, which is what’s known as “corporate crime”. Corporate crime is crime which, as the name suggests, is connected with companies, with business organisations. [2] It has been relatively ignored by the mass media—for example, it tends to be under-reported in comparison with conventional crime in news broadcasts, and in crime serials and films and so on—they very rarely deal with corporate crime. [3] And it also tends to be ignored in academic circles—there’s been far more research on conventional crime and far more data is available. There are several reasons for this lack of interest in corporate crime, compared with other types of crime. It’s often very complex, whereas with conventional crime [4] it’s usually possible to follow what’s going on without specialist knowledge. As well as this, [5] whereas conventional crime usually has a lot of human interest, corporate crime often has much less. The third reason, and possibly the most significant one, [6] is that very often the victims are unaware—they think their misfortune is an accident or that it’s the fault of no-one in particular. They’re unaware that they’ve been victims of a crime. So, when we look at the effects of corporate crime we may find it’s very difficult to assess the costs. But these costs can be very considerable in both their economic and social aspects. Let’s look at the economic costs first. For example, if a company is producing fruit juice and it dilutes its product so that it’s just a little below the concentration it should be, many millions of people may be paying a small amount extra for their carton of orange juice. [7] Now small amounts like this may seem insignificant for individual customers—too small to worry about—but for the company this deception might [8] result in massive illegal profit. However, all studies of corporate crime agree that [9] the individuals are in fact deprived of far more money by such crime than they are by conventional crime like robbery and theft. In addition to this, we have to consider the social costs of corporate crime and these are again very difficultto assess, but they are considerable. They’re important because they can undermine the faith of the public in the business world and also, more importantly, because the main group of people they affect are, in fact, [10] not the richer sections of society but the poorer—so here companies are robbing the poor to benefit the rich.Corporate CrimeOver decades of years, corporate crime has been 【T1】______ increasedCorporate crime has been ignored by:a) the 【T2】______ e.g. news broadcasts, crime serialsb) 【T3】______Reasons for being ignored:a) often more complex, and needing 【T4】______b) less 【T5】______than conventional crimec) victims often 【T6】______Effects:a) Economic costs may appear unimportant to 【T7】______ can make large 【T8】______for company cause more 【T9】______to individuals than conventional crimesb) Social costs make people lose trust in business world affect 【T10】______ most1．【T1】正确答案：massively解析：录音提到，在过去约70年间，有一种犯罪大量增长，即“单位犯罪”。

专四听力dictation26篇答案
Passage 1Weather in BritainIn Britain the weather is news. /A television weather forecast often begins with an interesting fact /– the town with the top temperature of the day or the place with the most rain. /The public like that kind of information. /But the BBC forecasters do not have an easy job. /They are the only presenters on the television who do not use a script, /and they cannot see the map they are describing. /Viewers are often critical, especially of female presenters. /One woman left her job after rude letters and press reports about her clothes. /The British talk about the weather more than almost any other subject, /so it is a surprise to discover /that seventy percent of television viewers cannot remember /what they saw on the weather forecast. /What happens is that people like watching and hearing the forecasts, /but they probably only take real notice when they need to. / (152 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 3Asian ElephantThe Asian elephant is one of the world’s rarest animals. /Unfortunately, its sad condition has not been as well publicized as that of the African elephant. /This is because Asian elephant’s ivory supplies only a small percentage of the world ivory trade. /In fact, we know very little about the Asian elephant. /They live in the remote forests of southern Asia /and it is therefore very difficult to study them. /Most knowledge of Asian elephants is from those that have been captured, or tamed. / Asian elephants are easier to tame than African elephants. /The major reason for the decline of Asian elephants is the harm to their forests. /The huge increase in the human population/ has caused the destruction of the Asian forest. /As a result, the Asian elephants are compelled to scatter in different areas./Originally they lived all over the continent, /but now there are only small isolated populations left. /They are vulnerable to extinction. / (159 words)___________________________________________________________________ Passage 4Happy CommutersThe Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco /with the suburbs to the north. /Each day about one hundred thousand automobiles cross the bridge /taking people to and from the city. /More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours. /When traffic is so heavy, the trip is not pleasant. /Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. /These are people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. /They go to work by boat /and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again. /The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and comfortable. /Commuters can enjoy the sun on deck. /The trip takes only 30 minutes and is not very costly. /Best of all, being on boat seems to make people more friendly toward each other. /There has always been a marriage of two commuters who met on the ferry. / (162 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 5The Red CrossThe worldwide Organization of the Red cross stems from the ideal of Henri Dunant, a Swiss Banker. /On 24th, June 1859, on his way from Geneva to France, /Dunant witnessed a battle. /It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. /Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, /Dunant decided that volunteer service had to be organized. /He gathered together a number of women /who attended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities /and helped the surgeons as best they could. /He determined to form a body of people /who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and thedying. /Many Europeans states supported him /and on 22nd, August 1864 the first Geneva Convention was signed. /This lays down that once a soldier is wounded /everyone else who comes to his help ceases to be an enemy. / (154 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 6Cars in the FutureWhat kind of care will we be driving by the year 2030? /Rather different from the type we know today. /With the next decade bringing greater change than the past 50 years, /the people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that /environmental problems may well accelerate the pace of the car’s deve lopment. /The vision is that of a machine with 3 wheels instead of 4, /electrically-powered, environmentally clean and able to drive itself along intelligent roads, /equipped with built-in power supplies. /Future cars will pick up the fuel during long journeys /from a power source built into the road. /This view of future cars is based on a much more sophisticated road system. /Cars will be automatically controlled by a computer. /All the driver will have to do is to say where to go /and the computer will do the rest. /It will be impossible for cars to crash into one another. / (155 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 7Dogs as PetsMost people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their life. /If you are thinking of buying a dog, /you should first decide what sort of companion you need. /You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young /and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life. / Dogs are demanding pets. /Whereas cats identify with the house /and so are content if their place is secure, /a dog identifies with its master /and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. /The best time to buy a baby-dog is when itis between 6-8 weeks old /so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. /If baby-dogs have not established a relationship with the human being /until they are over 3 months old, /their strong relationship will always be with dogs. / (156 words)_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 8Why Do We Cry?Why do we cry? /Can you imagine life without tears? /Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, /they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they cannot infect your eyes. /Give up tears, and you will lose this on-the-spot defense. /Nobody wants to give up the flood of extra tears you produce /when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. /Tears are very good at washing this irrit ating stuff out. /Another thing you couldn’t do without your tears is cry from joy, anger or sadness. /Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, /and most people say a good cry makes them feel better. /Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. /It may be that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, /chemicals that build up during stress. /What do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? / (155 words)_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 10The MarsScience fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on the Mars. /But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. /It has a great deal to recommend it, /since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth. /But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort /unless people could live there naturally. /If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, /this might be possible. /Apartfrom that, there are other problems to overcome. /For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 6 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. /Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. /To begin with, they will have to find out /whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past. /Secondly, they will have to make a reliable map of its surface. /And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases on Mars. / (159 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 11SharksTo most of us sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they attack humans. /However, according to Doctor Clark, who has studied the behavior of sharks for 12 years, /humans are not normally on the shark’s menu. /She also found that sharks don’t eat as much as people think. /For instance, a 9-year-old shark only needs two pounds of food a day to keep healthy. /But she says, sharks sometimes starve /and at other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. /Around the world, there are only about one hundred shark attacks on humans each year, /ten of which proved fatal. /If you went underwater-fishing and saw a shark, /you could be in trouble. /The shark might go for the injured fish you have attacked /and take a bite of you at the same time. /If you go into a shark’s territory and threaten it, /it might try to bite you because sharks are territorial. / (160 words)_____________________________________________________________________Passage 12Waterways in the USIn the early 19th century, waterways in the middle of the United States /providedNorth America the most popular form of long distance transport. /Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon over country roads, /especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. /When the natural waterways were not adequate, /shallow canals were built. /The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, /connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. /It allowed residents in the Great Lakes region /to send their crops eastward to New York City at a much lower cost. /The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged people to move westward. /The city of Detroit and Chicago became flourishing cities. /By the mid 1800, faster and cheaper railroads became more popular /and the canal system declined. /During the first third of the century, however, /transport on the rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. /(158 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 13The English LanguageEnglish is increasingly significant in the globalization of the world. /Generally, English is the most important linguistic vehicle in all the human activities carried out worldwide. /These activities include application of science and technology /in medicine, transport, entertainment and information technology /and all the other fields related to human life. /Science and technology cannot do without languages, /which are symbolic systems though not the only ones. /In a world where there are global human enterprises, /a language that is widely understood, /and that can be used across the boundaries of different countries, is a necessity. /English has been extensively used for the purposes of exchanging information. /No matter whether English is more suited to be used as an international language or not, /it is really suited to a great variety of scientific and technological purposes. /It has a very large vocabulary /and all sorts of ways of extending its vocabulary that is already much ample to meet changing needs. /(159 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 14GlobalizationPeople around the globe are more connected to each other than ever before. /“The Era of Globalization” is fast becoming the preferred term for describing the current times. /Globalization is a process of interaction and integration /among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, /a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. /This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, /on economic development and prosperity, /and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.Policy and technological developments of the past few decades /have spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and migration so large that / many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively new phase in its economic development.Technology has been the other principal driver of globalization. /Advances in information technology, in particular, have dramatically transformed economic life. /Information technologies have given consumers, investors and businesses /valuable new tools for identifying and pursuing economic opportunities. /(158 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 17British Pub CultureVisitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. / Most pubs have no waiters / --you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. / This may sound inconvenient, / but there is a hidden purpose. / Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. / Standing at the bar for service / allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. / The bar counteris possibly the only site in the British Isles / in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered really quite normal behavior. / The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, / the experience may fall flat. / For example, if you are in a big group, / it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. / Nothing irritates the regular customers while they chat about what to order.（163 words）_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 18 CoffeeCoffee is a brewed beverage prepared from roasted seeds, / commonly called coffee beans. / Due to its caffeine content, / coffee has a stimulating effect in humans. / Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide. /Coffee was first consumed in the ninth century, / when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia. / Coffee has played an important role in many societies throughout history. / In Africa, it was used in religious ceremonies. /Coffee is an important export commodity. / In 2004, coffee was the top agricultural export for 12 countries, / and in 2005, it was the world's seventh largest legal agricultural export by value. /Some controversy is associated with coffee cultivation and its impact on the environment. / Many studies have examined the relationship between coffee consumption and certain medical conditions. / Whether the overall effects of coffee are positive or negative is still disputed. （159 words）_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 19Buses in LondonThe London Bus is one of London's principal icons. / Although the Routemaster has now been largely phased out of service, / with only two heritage routes still using the vehicles,/ the majority of buses in London are still red / and therefore the red bus remains an iconic symbol of the city./In Britain bus-type vehicles used for long distances / or where it is not possible to get on at any stop / and buy a ticket are always called coaches rather than buses. / Buses have been used on the streets of London since 1829, / and in 1855 the London General Omnibus Company or LGOC was founded / to regulate the horse-drawn omnibus services then operating in London. / LGOC began using motor omnibuses in 1902, / and manufactured them itself from 1909./ The last LGOC horse-drawn bus ran on 25 October 1911, / although independent operators used them until 1914. (155 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 20American FoodMany meals in America are arranged around popular television shows. / People like to eat in front of the TV, / and they sit in a chair or on a sofa. / Cooking in the USA is not just hamburgers, pizza and fast food. / However, the American fast food restaurant chains / have been very successful at introducing American-style fast food around the world. / Now people from many lands believe / it is what everyone eats all the time in the USA. /Most traditional American foods were introduced by the early European immigrants / but modified to take advantage of the locally available ingredients. / Fried chicken, meatloaf, baked potato, corn, baked beans and apple pie / would be considered traditional American dishes. /Regional cooking varies from state to state / and is highly influenced by the types of ingredients locally available, / as well as the cultural background of the people that settled in the area. / (165 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 21New YorkThe City of New York has been the most populous city in the United States since 1790, / while the New York metropolitan area / ranks among the most populous urban areas in the world. / A leading global city, / it exerts a powerful influence over worldwide finance, culture, fashion and entertainment. / As host of United Nations headquarters, / New York is also an important center for international affairs./ The city's estimated population exceeds 8.2 million people / living in just under 305 square miles,/ making New York City the most densely populated major city. / New York is notable among American cities for its high use of mass transit, / much of which runs 24 hours, / and for the overall density and diversity of its population. / The city is sometimes referred to as "The City that Never Sleeps", / while other nicknames include Gotham and the Big Apple. /(153 words)_____________________________________________________________________Passage 22Public SchoolPublic-school education is the most common form of education in the United States / and is provided mainly by local governments, / with control and funding coming from three levels: / federal, state, and local./ Curricula, funding, teaching, and other policies are set / through locally elected school boards by jurisdiction over school districts. / The school districts are special-purpose districts / authorized by provisions of state law. / Generally, state governments can and do set minimum standards / relating to almost all activities of primary and secondary schools, / as well as funding and authorization to enact local school taxes to support the schools. / The federal government funds aid to states and school districts / that meet minimum federal standards. / The first tax-supported public school in America was inMassachusetts. / The vast majority of adults born in the U.S. have attended a U.S. public school. / (149 words)_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 24French FriesFrench fries, or french-fried potatoes are thin strips of potato / that have been deep-fried. / They are popular in many countries / and go by many names in various languages. / A distinction is sometimes made between fries and chips. / North Americans often refer to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes as fries, / while in other parts of the world, / long slices of potatoes are sometimes called fries to contrast them with the thickly cut strips, / which are often referred to as chips. / French fries can contain a large amount of fat or oils from frying. / Some researchers have suggested / that the high temperatures used for frying such dishes may have results harmful to health. / In the United States about ¼ of vegetables consumed are prepared as French fries / and are proposed to contribute to widespread obesity. / Many restaurants now advertise their use of unsaturated oils. / (158 words) Passage 25MoneyMoney is anything that is generally accepted as payment / for goods and services and repayment of debts./ The main uses of money are as a medium of exchange, / a unit of account, and a store of value. / Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment. / The dominant form of money is currency. / The term "price system" is sometimes used / to refer to methods using commodity valuation or money accounting systems. /Money is used as an intermediary for trade, / in order to avoid the inefficiencies of a barter system, / which are sometimes referred to as the 'double coincidence ofwants problem'. / Such usage is termed a medium of exchange. / In economics, money is a broad term that refers to any financial instrument / that can fulfill the functions of money. / Modern monetary focuses on the liquidity of the financial instrument used as money. / (158 words)_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 26NewspapersA newspaper is a publication containing news, information, and advertising. / General-interest newspapers often feature articles / on political events, crime, business, entertainment, society and sports. / Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page / containing columns that express the personal opinions of writers./ Supplementary sections may contain advertising, comics, and coupons./ Newspapers are most often published on a daily or weekly basis, / and they usually focus on one particular geographic area where most of their readers live. / Despite recent setbacks in circulation and profits, / newspapers are still the most iconic outlet for news and other types of written journalism. /By the late 1990s，the Internet posed an ongoing challenge / to the business model of most newspapers in developed countries. / Many newspapers around the world launched online editions / in an attempt to follow or stay ahead of their audience. / However, in the rest of the world, newspapers continue to grow. / (160 words)_____________________________________________________________________Passage 27The History of TeaAfter water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world. / The Chinese have consumed tea for thousands of years. / People of the Han Dynasty used tea as medicine. / China is considered to have the earliest records of tea consumption, / with records dating back to the 10th century BC. / Legend has it that master Lao Zi was saddened by society's moral decay and, / sensing that the end of the dynasty was near, / he journeyed westward to the unsettled territories, / never to be seen again./ While passing along the nation's border, / he encountered and was offered tea by a customs inspector, / who encouraged him to compile his teachings into a single book / so that future generations might benefit from his wisdom. / This then became known as the Dao De Jing, a collection of Laozi's sayings. / A national custom of offering tea to guests began in China. / (158 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 28ChristmasEvery year after Thanksgiving, / most people’s thoughts turn to Christmas. / It is the time when professing Christians are supposed to focus on Jesus Christ. / It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus. / There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. / But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion. / Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards / are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world. / And the Christmas has become popular /when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 / and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century. / Christmas is thought by most to be a wonderful time, / focusing the participants on /giving, family togetherness, beautiful music and decorations, / feasting on special foods and singing Christmas carols throughout the neighborhood. / (150 words)Passage 29For years, students were assured that with a college degree in hand / they could acquire an excellent job. / In recent years, however, several developments / havesignaled the onset of a change / in the supply-demand relationship in the services of higher education. / Teachers with terminal degrees far outnumber / the available teaching positions in many disciplines. / The chairman of a science department today / may receive three to four hundred applications / for a position that once attracted only half a dozen. / Administrations of colleges and universities must be prepared / to enter into competition with all other suppliers of products and services. / Today’s students are in touch with the reality of the world, / and they realize that while a degree may obtain the first job for them, / keeping the job and advancing depend upon the education behind the degree. (148 words)_____________________________________________________________________ Passage 33Credit Card SecurityCredit card security relies on the physical security of the plastic card / as well as the privacy of the credit card number. / Therefore, whenever a person other than the card owner / has access to the card or its number, / security is potentially compromised. / Once, merchants would often accept credit card numbers / without additional verification for mail order purchases. / It's now common practice to only ship to confirmed addresses / as a security measure to minimize fraudulent purchases. / Some merchants will accept a credit card number for in-store purchases, / but many require the card itself to be present, / and require a signature. / A lost or stolen card can be cancelled, / and if this is done quickly, / will greatly limit the fraud that can take place in this way. / (141 words)____________________________________________________________________ Passage 34Independent FilmmakingFilmmaking also takes place outside of the mainstream / and is commonly called independent filmmaking. / Since the introduction of DV technology, / the means ofproduction have become more democratized./ Filmmakers can conceivably shoot and edit a film, / create and edit the sound and music, / and mix the final cut on a home computer. / However, while the means of production may be democratized, / financing, distribution, and marketing remain difficult to accomplish outside the traditional system. / Most independent filmmakers rely on film festivals / to get their films noticed and sold for distribution. / However, the Internet has allowed for relatively inexpensive distribution of independent films; / many filmmakers post their films online for critique and recognition./ Although there is little profitability in this, / a filmmaker can still gain exposure via the web.

英语四级听力理解训练
英语四级听力理解训练对于许多大学生来说，英语四级考试是大学期间必须要面对的一项重要挑战，而听力理解部分往往是其中的难点之一。
想要在英语四级听力理解部分取得好成绩，进行有针对性的训练是至关重要的。
首先，我们要明确英语四级听力理解的考试要求和题型特点。
四级听力主要包括短篇新闻、长对话和听力篇章三种题型。
短篇新闻通常语速较快，涉及到各类时事和社会热点；长对话则更贴近日常生活场景，交流较为自然；听力篇章多为学术性或说明性的内容。
了解这些特点有助于我们在训练时有针对性地进行准备。
在进行听力训练之前，积累一定的词汇量和语法知识是基础。
如果连单词都不认识，或者对语法结构理解不清，那么在听力过程中就很难准确把握所听到的内容。
可以通过背单词书、阅读英语文章等方式来扩充词汇量，同时结合语法书籍和相关练习来巩固语法知识。
日常的泛听练习也是必不可少的。
我们可以利用各种渠道获取英语听力材料，比如英语广播、英语电影、英语歌曲等等。
泛听的目的是让我们熟悉英语的语音、语调，培养英语语感。
在泛听时，不必追求完全听懂每一个单词和句子，而是要注重整体的理解和感受。
精听练习则是提升听力理解能力的关键。
可以选择历年的四级听力真题或者与四级难度相当的听力材料进行精听。
在精听时，建议采取逐句听的方式。
听一句暂停一下，尝试把听到的内容写下来。
如果一遍没听懂，就多听几遍，直到完全写出来为止。
听完一篇后，对照听力原文，找出自己没听出来的地方，分析原因，是因为单词不认识、连读没听出来还是语法结构不清楚。
然后反复听这些没听懂的部分，加强记忆。
在听力过程中，掌握一些技巧也能帮助我们更好地理解内容。
比如，在听之前，要快速浏览选项，预测听力内容的主题和可能涉及的问题。
注意捕捉关键词和关键句，这些往往是答题的关键。
对于数字、时间、地点等重要信息要特别敏感，做好笔记。
此外，模仿也是一种有效的训练方法。
模仿听力材料中的语音、语调、语速，可以帮助我们纠正发音，提高口语表达能力，同时也能增强对听力内容的敏感度。
英语专业四级听力50篇
英语专业四级听力50篇1.Town and Country Life in EnglandThere is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on Sunday, it is like a town without people. One is sorry for old people living on their own. They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months.2.A Change in Women’s LifeThe important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took afull-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marryyounger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.3.A Popular Pastime of the English PeopleOne of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time.Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English.Useful Words and Expressions:1. window box:窗台上的花盆箱2.pastime 消遣，娱乐Swimming is my favorite pastime.4.British and American Police OfficersReal policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time.Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes.Useful Words and Expressions:1. think much of 重视，尊重2. in court 在法庭上3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的5.Living SpaceHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival? These are interesting questions.6 The United NationsIn 1945, representatives of 50 nations met to plan this organization. It was called the United Nations. After the war, many more nations joined. There are two major parts of the United Nations. One is called the General Assembly. In the General Assembly, every member nation is represented and has an equal vote.The second part is called the Security Council. It has representatives of just 15 nations. Five nations are permanent members: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and China. The 10 other members are elected every two years by the General Assembly.The major job of the Security Council is to keep peace in the world. If necessary, it can send troops from member nations to try to stop little wars before they turn into big ones.It is hard to get the nations of the Security Council to agree on when this is necessary. But they did vote to try to stop wars.Useful Words and Expressions:1. representative 代表2. General Assembly 联合国大会3. permanent 永久的，持久的4. Security Council 联合国安全理事会7 PlasticWe use plastic wrap to protect our foods. We put our garbage in plastic bags or plastic cans. We sit on plastic chairs, play with plastic toys, drink from plastic cups, and wash our hair with shampoo from plastic bottles! Plastic does not grow in nature. It is made by mixing certain things together. We call it a produced or manufactured material. Plastic was first made in the 1860s from plants, such as wood and cotton. That plastic was soft and burned easily.The first modern plastics were made in the 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out as thick, black oil. That plastic coating inside a pan begins as natural gas.Over the years, hundreds of different plastics have been developed. Some are hard and strong. Some are soft and bendable. Some are clear. Some are many-colored. There is a plastic for almost every need. Scientists continue to experiment with plastics. They hope to find even ways to use them!8 Display of GoodsAre supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more?Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop. Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past otherattractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really need.Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley.More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product than from a ten-foot one. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.Useful Words and Expressions:1. aisle 走廊，过道2. trolley 手推车3. checkout 收款台9 Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but they did not observe many of the re ligion’s rules. Albert was a quite child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—to be north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something hidden had to be behind things.Useful expressions and words:1. device 装置，设备leave to one’s own devices 听任某人自行其是，允许某人按自己的意愿做事She left the child to her own devices for an hour in the afternoon.她允许孩子在下午有一个小时的自由支配时间。

Secondly, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, for energy production releases pollutants into the atmosphere, causing air pollution and climate change. Thirdly, the improper disposal of waste, including plastic, electronic, and hazardous waste, leads to soil and water pollution, which harms both human health and wildlife. As for the effects of environmental pollution, they are manifold. Air pollution can cause respiratory diseases, such as asthma and lung cancer. Water pollution can contaminate drinking water sources and affect marine ecosystems. Soil pollution can reduce agricultural productivity and have long-term effects on biodiversity.
