At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Text 1M: Is there a new bookstore on Fuzhou Road?W: Yes, it’s got very good novels of the 20th century.Q: What are the speakers mainly talking about？Text 2W: Mike, are you OK?M: I injured my back yesterday just by sneezing.

After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.It’s common for you, nonfiction writers, to go forth into an area you know little about. You may worry that you are not qualified to bring the story back. I feel that anxiety every time I start a new project. I felt it when I went to Bradenton to write my baseball book Spring training. Although I’ve been a baseball fan all my life, I had never done any sports reporting, never interviewed a professional athlete. Any of the men I approached with a notebook could have asked. What else have you written about baseball? But nobody did. They didn’t ask, because I was sincere. It was obvious to those m en that I really wanted to know how they did their work. Remember this: When you enter a new area and need a shot of confidence, what matters is how you do it. Also remember that your assignment may not be as narrow as you think. Often it will turn out to touch some unexpected corner of your experience or your education, enabling you to broaden the story with strength of your own. Every such production of the unfamiliar will reduce your fear.Questions:11. According to the speaker, when may non-fiction writers feel worried?12. Why didn’t nobody in Bradenton care about what the speaker had written before?13. According to the speaker, how does non-fiction writers’ experience or education benefit them? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talkThe accepted definition of creativity is production of something original and useful, and it is commonly thought that creativity occurs on the right side of the brain, and the arts play an important role in enhancing it. But according to a new research, creativity isn’t about freedom from concrete facts.Rather, fact-finding is vital in the creative process. It’s the result of both sides of your brain working together. To understand this, we need to take a look at what leads to creativity. When you try to solve a problem, you begin by concentrating on obvious facts and familiar solutions to see if the answer lies there. This is done mostly by the left side. However, if the answer doesn’t come, the right and left sides of the brain activate together. The right side scans remote memories that could be vaguely relevant.A wide range of distant information that is normally ignored becomes available to the left side. Then the left side catches whatever connection it may have with the problem. And quickly locks in on it before it escapes. With extremely focused attention, the brain quickly pulls together these pieces of thought and combines them into a new single idea, as the brain recognizes the originality of what it has come up with.a sense of pleasure will arise.Questions14. What do people commonly think of creativity?15. According to the passage, how does the left side of the brain contribute to creative process?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hello. Peter. I heard you worked in a remote village last month?M: Yes, as a volunteer, teaching in a primary school in southeastern China.W: A good choice for the summer vacation.M: For me, it’s not only a choice, but a responsibility.W: You’re right. What can a volunteer generally do?M: Many things, like creating a change in the surroundings, providing shelter and food to the needy ones. W: So you mean volunteering is not just donating cash or things.M: Right! We prefer to call that charityW: How did you come up with the idea of volunteering?M: It was my father. He used to supervise a volunteer program in a non-profit art gallery.W. Was it a full-time job for him?M: No, in fact, a part-time job. He went to the gallery nearly every weekend.W: Wow, this requires great passion.M: Sure. The best way to volunteer is to get involved in activities we are passionate about.W: Have you had any difficulties as a volunteer?M: Definitely! Lack of respect, acknowledgement, and lack of funds now and then.W: Oh, my! Many obstacles!M: So the most important spirit is perseverance.W: I’d like to join you someday.M: Any time.Questions17. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?18. What volunteer service did the man’s father do?19. What does the man think is the best way to volunteer?20. According to the man, which of the following is the most important for a volunteer?。

英语听力教程第三版(张民伦主编)Unit 6 Find the Right Words听力原文

Listen this way听力教程第三册-6Unit 6 Find the Right WordsPart I Getting ready Audioscript:The English language can be traced back to prehistoricIndo-European through the West Germanic line. However, many other influences have shaped the development of Modern English. We will review some important dates in the history of the English language. The first three are Latin influences:1. In 5,5 B.C. Caesar conquered Britain and the Celtic people.2. In 43. B.C. Rome colonized the island.3. The Romans remained for 400 years (the first four centuries of the Christian Era).The next significant dates were:4. The year 499 (which was the year of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the island).5. From 500 on, the West Germanic language was the basic language of Britain (or England).Influences from other languages continued however.6. In the sixth and seventh centuries England was Christianized bymissionaries sent by the Pope (so that Latin influence continued). Then,7. In the eig11th and ninth centuries the Norsemen (Vikings), invaded England with their Old Norse language.8. In 1066. the Norman Conquest brought French linguistic influence.9. The French influence continued for 300 years (the ninth century through the 11th century).10. And finally, in the fifteen and sixteen hundreds, when classical learning was revived, there was continued Latin language influence. Audioscript:1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and theydon't care how well you speak it. They are not upset when you make mistakes. I think in order to learn, you mustn't be afraid of making mistakes.2. I'm a very shy person and it's not easy for me to talk to strangers. But you have to force yourself to talk to people. That's what I did and it really helped me.3. I think the best language learners are people with a sense of humor. Try to laugh at your own mistakes and don't take yourself too seriously. You'll find that other people will be sympathetic when you make mistakes.4. I took two courses in business studies. I read, studied, listened tolectures and took notes in English. It was a very good experience for me because I didn't have time to think about the language. I recommend forgetting about the grammar and thinking about the meaning instead.5. In my experience, learning a foreign language always involves a lot of time, a lot of boring work and lots of problems! In short, if you want to learn another language you have to work hard.6. Try to read as much as you can. I think that's the best way to improve your English and to learn more new words. I always try to read something in English everyday.Part II Skills to communicate badnewsAudioscript:Avi Arditti：I'm Avi Arditti with Rosanne Skirble, and this week on Wordmaster: giving doctors better skills to communicatebad news.Rosanne Skirble：Anthony Back is a medical oncologist at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson CancerResearch Center in Seattle. He and four colleagues are inthe fifth year leading a program funded with one andone-half million dollars from the National Cancer Institute. Avi Arditti：Doctor Back says specially trained actors play cancer patients to help oncologists learn how to avoid soundinginsensitive when the prognosis is grim.Anthony Back：Probably the biggest misconception I face is that you're either born with this or you're not. In fact, what theresearch shows is that people learn to do this over time.And the way they learn to do it is they see good role models,they practice, they get specific feedback on what they'redoing, they try-out new things, they innovate and developnew conversational practices for themselves.Avi Arditti：Can you give us some examples of those conversational practices -- what are some ways to impart bad news? Anthony Back：Here's an example: The patient has had cancer in the past, has been doing well and is coming in for some routinefollow-up tests. The routine follow-up tests unexpectedlyshow the cancer has started to come back.The doctor will typically go in and say to the patient,"Guess what, your cancer's back." And the patient will bejust blown away, right? There are a couple of practicesthere that doctors can do that can help. One is to start with-- especially if you don't know the patient -- asking what thepatient expected, what did they understand about theircancer, what were they expecting with this test. Because ifthe patient says to you "You know, they didn't tell meanything. I'm just here because I got this appointment in themail," that's one whole kind of comprehension level.Whereas if the patient says "I had a Tl Nl MO lung cancerand they told me I had a fifty-five percent chance of diseaserecurrence in the next two years," that's a whole differentstory, right?The second thing is that after you give this difficult news,then I think it's really important to address both thecognitive reaction and also the kind of the emotional side ofit.Rosanne Skirble：What are some of the phrases or the ways in which you can couch this news?Anthony Back：You know, the way to make it easier is to make sure that you are going from the context the patient drew for you.So you go from what the patient understands and you try touse their words as much as possible. And then, when youget to the really bad part of the news, I think it's actuallyimportant to be direct and concrete and not to couch thenews. It's better to say "The cancer has come back" than tosay "There are hypo-densities in your liver on the CT" (or)"You have a malignancy." All those euphemisms forcepatients to struggle to understand what's happening to them,and it adds to their confusion and distress.Rosanne Skirble: ：Well, should they say things like "I wish things were different" or "I hope for the best," or should a doctorkind of maintain a distance?Anthony Back：You know, my thought about that actually is that the more skilled the physician, the less they have to distancethemselves. There are some phrases that we use, and themost important ones are really the ones that are aboutempathy for the patient. You know, "I see this is a difficultsituation, I see this is not what you expected, I'm hoping forthe best." And I think it's fine for doctors to talk about hope,and I think it's important actually.AviArditti：Let me ask you, have you seen any cultural differences come up in the training programs as you've had doctors gothrough?Anthony Back：You know, we have actually a very multicultural group of physicians who come, and they all bring in alltheir own different values about how frank should peoplebe. Because the American standard, of course, is thatpatients themselves get all the information, they make thedecision themselves, and there's this very strong emphasison autonomy. And in a lot of other cultures that's really notthe case.Rosanne Skirble：And what got you started in the first place? Anthony Back：What got me started was, when I was an oncology trainee, and this was after a personal experience -- mymother had died of a pre-leukemia kind of thing -- Iremember walking around in the bone-marrow transplantwards with this experienced -- it was this other, older seniorphysician -- going around having these life-and-deathconversations with patients and thinking, God, there has gotto be a better way to do this.Avi Arditti：The result, says Doctor Anthony Back in Seattle, is a program that has now trained about one hundred-eightyoncologists at retreats held twice a year. The program Website is -- that's o-n-c-o-t-a-l-k dot i-n-f-o.Part III Foreign accents Audioscript:Section IAs far as I'm concerned, I do tend to judge people I meet by their accents. I don't mean that I'm a sort of snob, and only like people with posh accents, but I never feel comfortable with a new person until I've been able to place them from the way they speak. If it's an English person, I feel much more at ease if I can say "Ah, he comes form Liverpool", or "He's probably been to public school". I suppose then I know what to talk about and what to expect from the other person.The same is true of foreigners. Personally, I prefer a foreigner to speak with a recognizable foreign accent, so that I know that I'm talking to a Frenchman, a Ghanaian, a Pole, and so on. So for me, it seems a bit pointless for foreigners to try desperately hard to get rid of their national accent and try to speak BBC English. If someone isclearly French, I know there's no point in talking about cricket or making jokes about the Irish. And frankly, I think it even sounds more attractive. I can't really explain why, but if a person has a foreign accent, they seem to be more interesting, even if they are saying the most ordinary things.Audioscript:Section IIMind you, there is a limit to intelligibility. If the accent is so strong that you have a struggle to understand what they are saying, then that gets in the way of the conversation, and the flow is broken while you try to sort out the sounds into meaningful bits. I don't mean an accent as strong as that. I'm talking about the kind of accent where you can tell immediately which country the person comes from, but where they've got enough English to carry on a good conversation without searching for words, or messing up the grammar so that you lose the thread. I suppose it's the kind of accent most foreigners have, really. To be honest, it's only a very few who have such a good ear that they produce more or less genuine British English, and even then it can be quite amusing because they may have picked up a clearly regional accent, or even a very upper-class accent which doesn't fit in with their character at all. But most foreigners who learn English aredesperately keen to get rid of their foreign accents and waste a lot of time trying to do so.Part IV More about the topic:Love and Grammar Audioscript:Are you looking for love? When you want to impress a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, you take great care with your appearance and try to be on your best behaviour. But . . . what about your grammar? Do you check if you are using verbs and commas properly?If not, you'd better think again. The research arm of dating site OKCupid has suggested that bad grammar can ruin your love life. It looked at 500 000 first contacts on the site and concluded that "netspeak, bad grammar and bad spelling are huge turn-offs".On the other hand, the correct use of apostrophes seems to be quite an aphrodisiac. Using "don't" and "won't" caused better than average response rates says the research.American writer Twist Phelan, who went on 100 online dates in 100 days and later married someone she met online, believes that grammar is an important "filter system" for prospective partners. Shesays: "If you're trying to date a woman, I don't expect flowery Jane Austen prose. But aren't you trying to put your best foot forward?" Perhaps you think you are ready to start looking for anEnglish-speaking girlfriend or boyfriend. Am I right? You go online, look at the picture and start calling him or her "beautiful", "gorgeous" and "sexy" before you meet. Will it work? The research says it won't! The wrong adjective can put a full stop on a potential relationship. People enjoy receiving compliments but not when they sound like a pick-up line.General compliments such as "cool", "it's nice that ..." and "awesome" got good responses from the dating site users.So now you are ready. Keep your wits about you because many things online are not what they seem; and watch your vocabulary and punctuation.Some say that a comma might even save lives -- as in the example: "Let's eat, my darling!" as opposed to "Let's eat my darling!"Can you see which one would grant you a meal with your date and which one would land you in jail?Part V Do you know ...?Audioscript:Alex：Hello, Carole? Is that you?Carole：Alex! What on earth are you doing ... a stupid question, you're doing the same as I am.Alex：What are you laughing at?Carole：Well, actually I'm just reading this article in Punch. It's the Franglais column. It's very funny.Alex：Oh, yes, yes, er ...Carole：I know this is only a spoof, but I think these adaptions of English into French or French into English can be veryfunny. How does it occur actually?Alex：Oh, I suppose it came after the war, you know when the Americans were in France and a lot of English words andexpressions came into French. Er ...Carole：Oh, I see, yes, so ...Alex：But after that there was a strong reaction against it, I think.Carole：You mean people don't... aren't very keen on it. A sort of linguistic imperialism.Alex：Exactly, yes, er, take the ex ... example like "lift" you see.We've got no, no word in French for "lift".Carole：You mean "lift", the thing that goes up and down ... Alex：No, no. No, no, I mean, erm, would you like a lift home or something like that.Carole：Mm.Alex：Would you like a lift. What would you say in French? You would say something like, er, can I take you home with mycar?Carole：Oh, I see, so ...Alex：It's so much easier to say er, would you like a lift, you see. Carole：... I see, so in fact it's often for words that there's no equivalent for in...Alex：Yes, that... that's it, yes.Carole：... in French.Alex：Yes.Carole：Or something ... I suppose the same would apply to something like erm, "le weekend".Alex：Yes, yes. That goes a bit ... that goes back a bit. Yes, I suppose it was something er, before, even before the first WorldWar.Carole：Oh, that one's really old. Are there any more recent examples?Alex：Er, oh yes. "Speakerine" is a good example.Carole：Speakerine?Alex：Speakerine, yes.Carole：That doesn't even sound French. That sounds more German. Alex：Yes, it's a bit of a monster actually. You know, it means an announcer or a, a newsreader.Carole：Oh, I see, on the, on the box!Alex：Yes.Carole：And there are other things, aren't there, that are distortions like that. Erm ... oh, what's the one I can, erm ... "lesmoking" ...Alex：Ah, le smoking, yes.Carole：... which means, er, dinner jacket in English ...Alex：And we say smoking in French. It's very strange, in fact. But you've got another one, "the training", the training. Andyou ...Carole：What's that?Alex：Oh, it's like, it's like a pyjama in French. And you will say, I don't know, er...Carole：The pyjama?Alex：... children it's getting late, erm, put, put your training on and go to bed.Carole：How peculiar, because I mean, training means something quite different. Are there any other reasons why we borrow,why the French borrow words, borrow English words? Alex：Er, snob value, I suppose.Carole：Oh, really.Alex：Oh, yes. Er ...Carole：You mean English words are snobbish in French?Alex：Yes. They would, they would take a word like "building" and think it's much better to live in a building than to be -- tolive in a house.Carole：How strange, because building is such ...Alex：So we say building; we are living in the building.Carole：It's such a mundane word in English. I mean, it sounds just so ordinary.Alex：Yes, it is.Carole：But surely, I mean something like "le parking" which is very common, that, that can't have snob value, can it?Alex：No, no, of course, I mean just the French is cumbersome. Carole：Mm. Receptionist: Mrs. Harding, could you go through now please?Carole：Oh dear! I've got to go.Alex：Bye, bye, Carole.Carole：I hope it's not too painful, Alex. Thanks, bye.Part VII Watch and enjoy Videoscript:-- Jove! Good heavens!-- Oh, sir. Is there any sign of it stopping?-- I'm afraid not. It's worse than before.-- Oh, dear.-- If it's worse, it's a sign it's nearly over. Cheer up, captain. Buy a flower off a poor girl?-- I'm sorry. I haven't any change.-- Oh, I can change half a crown.

I've a right to sell flowers if I keep off the curb. I'm a respectable girl, so help me. I never spoke to him except to ask him to buy a flower offme!-- Oh, don't start!-- What's all the b100ming noise?-- There's a "tec" taking her down.-- Well, I'm making an honest living!-- Who's doing all that shouting?-- Where's it coming from?-- Oh, sir. Don't let him charge me! You don't know what it means to me! They'll... They'll take away me character and drive me on the streets for ... for speaking to gentlemen!-- There, there, there, there. Who's hurting you, you silly girl? What do you take me for?-- On my Bible oath, I never spoke a word.-- Oh, shut up, shut up. Do I look like a policeman?-- Then what do you take down me words for? How do I know you took me down right? You just show me what you wrote about me. Oh. What's that? That ain't proper writing. I can't read it.-- I can. I say, captain, now buy you a flower off a poor girl.-- Oh, it's cause I called him "captain". I meant no harm. Oh, sir. Don't let him lay a charge against me for a word like that!-- Charge? I'll make no charge. Really, sir. If you are a detective, you needn't begin protecting me against molestation from youngwomen until I askyou. Anyone can tell the girl meant no harm.He ain't no "tec". He's a gentleman. look at his boots.How are all your people down at Selsey?Who told you my people come from Selsey?Never mind. They do. How do you come to be up so far east? You wereborn in Lisson Grove.Oh. What harm is there in my leaving Lisson Grove? It weren't fit for apig to live in and I had to pay four and six a week.Oh, live where you like, but stop that noise.Come, come. He can't touch you.

He ain't, to interfere with a poor girl!How do you do it, may I ask?Simple phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession. Also myhobby. Anyone can spot an Irishman or Yorkshireman by his brogue, butI can place a man within six miles. I can place him within two miles inLondon. Sometimes within two streets.He ought to be ashamed of himself, unmanly coward!Is there a living in that?Oh, yes. Quite a fat one.Let him mind his own business and leave a poor girl alone ... Woman! Cease this detestable "boohooing" instantly ... or else seek theshelter of some other place of worship.-- I've a right to be here if I like, same as you.-- A woman who utters such disgusting and depressing noise has no right to be anywhere, no right to live. Remember that you're a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech, that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and the Bible. Don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.-- Oh!-- You see this creature with her curbstone English, the Englishthat'll keep her in the gutter till the end of her days? Well, sir. In six months, I could pass her off as a duchess at an Embassy ball. I could even get her a job as a lady's maid or a shop assistant, which requires better English.-- Here, what's that you say?-- Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf; you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns; you incarnate insult to the Englishlanguage. I could pass you off as, uh, the Queen of Sheba.-- Oh! You don't believe that, captain?-- Anything's possible. I, myself, am a student of Indian dialects. -- Are you? Do you know Colonel Pickering, the author of Spoken Sanskrit?-- I am Colonel Pickering. Who are you?-- I'm Henry Higgins, author of Higgins' Universal Alphabet.-- I came from India to meet you.-- I was going to India to meet you!-- Higgins!-- Pickering!。

I might be able to possibly travel and use my languages because at the moment most of my work is ... is rather routine secretarial-type work and I like the idea of more ...um ... challenges in my life really ...Part ⅣAAt interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, and when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then you have to ask yourself what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job which depends on making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making contact and having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what the person expects to get from a new job, and I think that it is important because it shows the expectations that the person has-what they want from their job. It’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs.B... But as important as qualifications are, and you won’t get to an interview or at least people won’t get to an interview without the qualifications, the most important thing in fact is the character and how a person presents themselves at interview. I find it very difficult to define exactly the sort of person I am looking for, but when I meet someone I can tell whether they are the sort of person that I would like to appoint or whether they are not.At interview the first thing that I notice is how the person settles down, when they sit down. Do they immediately rush into the room, grab a chair without being invited to sit down? Are they nervous? Um, do they spend a lot of time fiddling with their hands, brushing their hair back, er holding their pen, tapping it on the table? Obviously everyone is nervous at interview and you make allowances for that, but if it continues throughout the whole interview then of course you have to ask yourself if they’re like this after, say, an hour of interview, what will they be like in a normal job?Second thing that I look for is: Do they look at you? Do they make eye contact? Because if they won’t look at you in a job where in, in a situation where a job depends on, on them making a good impression, then probably in the job they won’t do very well in terms of making, er, good, making contact with other colleagues, making, having good relations with other colleagues. The sort of person normally we would look for would be someone who was, open, outgoing, enthusiastic and who could talk intelligently about what they had done and what they hoped to do. That doesn’t mean that they have to have had a lot of experience but that they should be able to reflect on whatever experience they’ve had.The other kinds of, of um things that we might talk about in an interview of course are what, er what the person expects to get from a new job in a new country, and that I think is important because it shows the expectations that the person has — what they want from their job. Um it’s interesting to hear why people want to change jobs, why they want to go to a new country.Part V Who’ll Get the Job?(Jane Langley is being interviewed by Mrs. Grey, the Personnel Manager, and Mr. Toms. )Mr. Toms: Yes, I see. Good. Good.Mrs. Grey: Miss Langley, I see that your last employer, Mr. Carmichaes, described you as “conscientious”. Do you think you are?Jane: Well, I certainly try to be. I have a set routine for the day in the office which means that I know exactly all the jobs that I have to do. And if conscientious means being exrtemely careful and paying attention to detail, then yes, I suppose I’m conscientious.Mr. Toms: But he said too that you could ‘adapt quickly to change’. Did you leave because they were making changes, or what?Jane: No, not at all. They made a lot of changes while I was there. I’m afraid I became unhappy because I wanted something more challenging.Mrs. Grey:I assume you wanted something like the job of Senior Secretary that we’re offering.Jane: Yes, that’s right.(Michael James is being interviewed now by the same two people. )Mrs. Grey: ...and according to your last employer, Mr. Smith, you ‘tend to be a little impatient at times’.Michael:Well, perhaps I am, perhaps I’m not. Some of the others in the office there were so slow!Mr. Toms: Yes, yes. I like a person who wants to get on with the job.Mrs. Grey: Mr. James, what I’d like to know is ...Mr. Toms:Excuse me, Mrs. Grey, but I wanted to ask Mr. James about his sport. You’rea keen footballer, I understand.Michael: Oh, yes. I play regularly twice a week. And I organised a team at my old place.Mr. Toms: And golf, too, I gather.Michael:Yes. Actually, I like golf better than football really. That’s why I play nearly every morning ...(Mrs. Grey and Mr. Toms are now discussing Jane and Michael after the interviews.)Mrs. Grey: ... so in my view, when you compare the two of them —and this has nothing to do with Jane being a woman — I’d give the job to Jane Langley. She’s obviously a better secretary than he is, she’s a much better typist, she mixes better with people and is clearly far more polite. We don’t even need to discuss Mr. James.Mr. Toms: Well, we do, because I think he’s brighter than Miss Langley. I know he doesn’t dress as well or speak as clearly, and he’s not as experienced as she is, but he’s quicker, more alert. And he’s keen on football and golf. I like that. So he gets the job.Mrs. Grey: No, I’m sorry, Mr. Toms. He doesn’t.Mr. Toms: Yes, he does, Mrs. Grey. He’s the Director’s nephew.。

M: Why do you believe⑰traveling will help you to value other people?W:As you know, when you're traveling you can't get help from your family, so you have to depend on your friends, or even turn to unknown people.M:Oh,I see.

英语听力原文

英语听力原文On Going a JourneyOne of the pleasantest things in the world isgoing a journey:but I like to go by myself. I can enjoy society in aroom;but out of doors, nature is company enough forme.I am then never less alone than when alone. "The fields his study, nature was his book."I cannot see the wit of walking and talking at thesame time.When I am in the country I wish to vegetate likethe country.I am not for criticizing hedges and black cattle.I go out for town in order to forget the town andall that is in it.There are those who for this purpose go towatering places,矿泉疗养处and carry the metropolis with them.I like more space and fewer obstacles.I like solitude独居, when I give myself up to it,for the sake of solitude;nor do I ask for "a friend in my retreat静养处, whom I may whisper solitude is sweet."The soul of journey is liberty自由, perfectliberty,to think, feel, do, just as one pleases.We go a journey chiefly to be free of allobstacles and all inconveniences不方便的;to leave ourselves behind, much more to get ridof others.It is because I want a little breathing spaceto ponder on考虑indifferent matters, where contemplation "May plume her feathersand let grow her wings,that in the various bustle of resort were all tooruffled,and sometimes impaired."I absent myself from the town for a while, without feeling at a loss the moment I am left bymyself.Instead of a friend in a post chaise驿马车or ina carriage,to exchange good things with, and vary the samestale topics over again,for once let me have a time free from manners.Give me the clear blue sky over my head,and the green turf草皮beneath my feet, awinding road before me,and the three hours' march to dinner — andthen to thinking!It is hard if I cannot start some game on theselone heaths.I laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for joy!From the point of yonder rolling cloud I plungeinto my past being,and revel there as the sun-burnt Indian plungesheadlong into the wavethat wafts him to his native shore.Then long-forgotten things like "sunken wrackand sumless treasuries",burst upon my eager sight, and I begin to feel,think, and be myself again.Instead of an awkward silence,broken by attempts at wit or dull commonplaces,mine is that undisturbed silence of the heart which alone is perfect eloquence.***************************************** **************************************On Learning EnglishA correspondent记者from the Czech Republic捷克asks a powerful question:“How would you encourageEnglish language learners at secondaryand postsecondary schools;what do they have to be careful aboutand what joys can they expectwhen dealing with a language ofsome 2 billion speakers worldwide?”In a way, the question answers itself.English enables you to communicate witha third of the world's population,and that has to be a plus on the agenda of anyonewith an international outlook. That third, moreover,is hugely diverse. English is present, as a first,second, or foreign language, in every country in the world.So, in using it as a tool,you have an unparallelled不平行的opportunity toexplore the individuality of nations and peoples.The metaphor of the tool is important.English is not a prism, through which you see others.It is a tool which enables you tohave a close encounter with others.Culture is not wholly dependent on language,but it does need language to explain its uniqueness—an experience all travellers have had, as they watch,say, a local folk dance and wonder what it is all about.However, the metaphor of the tool only goes so far,because you can change the character of the toolto suit your purposes. If you have adopted Englishas one of your languages, then you are able to adapt it—to take personal ownership of it.One of the great joys of making headwayin a new language is that you can use it to talk aboutwhat you want to talk about—and ifthat means inventing new words,to express your local experience,then do not hesitate to invent them.Just translating the culture of your schooland town into English—such as the names of localitiesand personalities—will immediately add dozens of new expressions.Don't restrict yourself to the wordsthat are already in the dictionaries.English is yours now. The words and expressionsyou and your fellows invent today might bein the dictionaries of tomorrow, if they catch on.You're doing nothing that hasn't already been donethousands of times before. New words were added toEnglish within days of the first settlersarriving in America from Britain,and the same pattern has been observedin all countries where a community of users has evolved.What you find yourselves doing you will seebeing done elsewhere. So to adopt the motto ofthe scouting movement—be prepared.Be prepared for linguistic diversity, change,playfulness, and creativity wherever you listenand look on radio and television, in the press,literature, film, pop music, the internet...Develop a sense of the kind of Englishthat is appropriate to particular circumstances.And make it your major aim to be soin control of your own English that you can vary itto suit the circumstances in which you find yourself.Your goal is not to learn English, but Englishes.The same principle applies to any language, of course,but it is particularly important in the case of Englishbecause of its global reach.***********************************************************************************Storms Always Give Way to the SunWhat is the secret ingredient of tough peoplethat enables them to succeed?Why do they survive the tough timeswhen others are overcome by them?Why do they win when other sink?The answer is very simple.It's all in how they perceive their problems.Yes, every living person has problems.A problem-free life is an illusion—a mirage in the desert.Accept that fact. Every mountain has a peak.Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups and downs,its peaks and its valleys.You may not be able to control the times,but you can compose your response.You can turn your pain into profanity or into poetry.The choice is up to you.You may not have chosen your tough time,but you can choose how you will react to it.For instance, what is the positive reaction toa terrible financial setback?In this situation would it be the positive reactionto cop out and run away? Escape through alcohol? No!Such negative reactions only produce greater problems by promising a temporary “solution” to the pressing problem.Your reaction to the problem is the last word!What will you let this problem do to you?It can make you tender or tough.It can make you better or bitter. It all depends on you.In the final analysis, the tough peoplewho survive the tough times do sobecause they've chosen to react positively to their predicament.Tough times never last, but tough people do.Tough people stick it out.History teaches us that every problem has a lifespan.No problem is permanent. Storms always give way to the sun.Winter always thaws into springtime.Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw.Your problem will be solved.Relish the MomentTucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision.We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent.We are traveling by train. Out the windows,we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides,of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station.Bands will be playing and flags waving.Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come trueand the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle.How restlessly we pace the aisles,damning the minutes for loitering—waiting, waiting,waiting for the station."When we reach the station, that will be it!"we cry."When I'm 18. " "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"Sooner or later,we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all.The true joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us."Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118∶24："This is the day which the Lord hath made；we will rejoice and be glad in it."It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad.It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often,swim more rivers,watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry more.Life must be lived as we go along.The station will come soon enough.。
