There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid may well be able to talk to you in your own language —though probably not in English, Restaurants are here by the hundred.

Betty left home early that day because she was going to start work at an office. She was only sixteen and this was her first job. Unfortunately, the traffic was so dense that she was a few minutes late When she arrived at the office. When she entered the office, she saw Mr. Crump, her boss, speaking to the people in an angry voice. She was very afraid and didn’t dare to say anything.Later that day, she found out what had happened, As a rule, Mr. Crump came to the office at about 9:30, because he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day. That morning, however, he happened to catch an earlier train, and when he arrived at the office, he was greatly annoyed to see that no one was working.

How can a traveler get to Greenwich?8. What does the speaker think of making a trip to London?1.C2. A3. D4. B5. D6. C7. B8. DTapescript:You come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to have fun —a reputation which really only dates from the mid 1960’s, that era* of “Swinging London,”* of pop stars and fashion photographers and dress designers.There’s certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There’s a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter— and they’re free! When it’s fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you’re not likely to be bored.Part 3 Video British Pub Tradition Under ThreatExercise:1. Why are pubs important for British people?For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. They are the places where people can go for a pint of beer and lively conversation.2. Why is pub culture changing recently?According to Bridget Walsh, people tend to go restaurants instead of pubs and they buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink it at home.3. What makes British pub business go downward?They are the poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs.4. How does Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, view the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions?He sees the economic downturn as an opportunity and runs an Internet service to get more people into pubs by allowing them to have their mail delivered totheir local pub.5. Do you think British pubs will dry up someday?I’m afraid not. The British love of beer and the rare British summer day is a good reason for them to have a pint of beer in the pub.Tapescript:For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. The place to go for a pint of beer and lively conversation. But Britain’s pubs are under threat. The poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs are all putting pubs under pressure. Bridget Walsh has been in the business for 42 years. She says pub culture is changing.“People aren’t going into pubs the way they used to years ago. They tend to go restaurants. They tend to buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink indoors, because people have entertainment indoors these day,” she said.It’s not just indoor entertainment people are looking for. Pubs—once smoke-filled rooms—are no longer. Smokers have to go outside these days. That’s hurt business too. “If they can’t have a pint and cigarette, you might as well drink at home,” Walsh adds.At the annual Great British Beer Festival in London, there are hundreds of beers, bitters, ales and plenty of enthusiasts. One might almost believe that pubs will be forever. But Neil Williams from the British Beer & Pub Association says the problem is serious.“Fifty-two pubs are closing every week here in the U.K., and that’s a big increase and, if we don’t take action, we’re going to lose a lot of our much-loved community pubs,” he said.Williams says taxes on beer served in pubs rose by 20 percent in 18 months. All in all, he says it’s a difficult time.“Unfortunately, the smoking ban coincided with a lot of other very adverse trading conditions: rising costs, we had rapidly deteriorating economic conditions, plus hug tax increases, so we’ve likened it to a perfect storm,” he said.Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, sees the downturn as an opportunity. He runs an Internet service that allows customers to have their mail delivered to their local pub.“What we’re really trying to do is to do two things, to get more people into pubs more often, but also really to help pubs cement their position at the heart of their local communities,” Mills explains.Tastes here are changing though. Wine bars, a recent trend, are taking away someof the business for pubs. But the British love of beer and the rare British summer day will mean, pub owners hope, that business will never totally dry up.马龙县2011年小学五年级科学试卷质量分析通泉中心校施祝玲今年全县小学三-六年级科学考试由县教育局组织,试卷由工作在一线的教师们命制,严格依“纲”扣“本”，结合学生实际，不照搬照抄资料，让师生们有了明确的目标，备课上课要以课本为主，不能丢开课本，到处找资料。

"Certain winds will make men's (3) temper bad", said George Eliot. In Southern California, the Santa Ana is (4) associated with an increase in depression and domestic (5) violence.Scientists have tried (6) without success to identify physiological reasons for these (7) reactions. Everyone agrees, however, that (8)dry winds like the Santa Ana, the mistral in France and the foehn* in Germany and Switzerland seem to have (9) negative effects on our mental and physical (10) well-being.On windy days, playground fights, (11) suicides and heart failures are more (12) frequent. In Geneva, traffic accidents (13) increase when a wind called the bise* blows. At the (14) request of patients, some Swiss and German hospitals (15) postpone surgery during the foehn.It is human to ask what is (16) behind the wind. It is easy to personify the wind as the (17) breath of God. The act oftaking wind into our lungs is what (18) gives us life. The Jews, Arabs, Romans and Greeks all took their word for (19) spiritfrom the word for wind.But our day-to-day lives are no longer (20 blown on the winds. We do not identify wind with spirit anymore.Part 2 Listening for GistA cat got on to a Scandinavian Airlines plane in Nairobi yesterday and cost the company about ￡10,000. One of the 66 passengers heard a strange "miaow" when the plane landed in Copenhagen. Mechanics arrived immediately and the airline company phoned for an animal ambulance. The mechanics found the cat after eight hours' work. It had got into the air-conditioning system in Nairobi. The plane was twelve hours late leaving for Tokyo, costing the company ￡10,000. The cat was quite well after its experience and was given a large bowl of milk and a plate of fish.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and find its topic sentence. The topic sentence is "A cat got on to a Scandinavian Airlines plane in Nairobi yesterday and cost the company about￡10.000."Section TwoListening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueWhat a Coincidence!Storyteller: Talking of coincidences, did I tell you about what happened to me and Jeannie last holidayFriend(s): No.Storyteller: We went on holiday in the States and we went to Mexico. Well, we were driving down to Mexico City. We weregoing to spend a few days in Palm Beach ... see the sea, lookup an old friend, you know. As we left there we stopped at a garage for a car check ... oil, the water, the tires, allthat ... petrol. And the mechanics spotted something. They said that our fuel pump was not working properly and it was quite serious ... it would cost a lot of money ... well, we were very worried.Friend(s): Were you insuredStoryteller: Well, no, we weren't and I didn't have that much money on me, you know. It was meant to be a cheap holiday. Well, just then, two men drove up and they said what's the problem And, do you know They were mechanics - it was such good luck. They looked at our car and they said, "There's nothing wrongwith your car. Don't spend money on it. Just forget about it."Well, naturally, we were worried, but ... er, I thought ...I'll trust them, I think they're right. So, we drove on, we crossed the Mexican border and had a marvelous few days sightseeing there round Monterey.Friend(s):Oh, oh, brilliant ... jealous ...Storyteller: And then we went on and on to Mexico City. We drove about forty kilometers and then we saw a car with the same US number plates as the other car we'd seen in Palm Beach. Friend(s): You're joking!Storyteller: It was parked by the road, and the same two men who gave us the advice about our car were stuck with their car. Friend(s): Oh, no!Storyteller: So, we stopped and asked them what was wrong. And do you know Their car had broken down for exactly the same reason: The fuel pump wasn't working! It was quite extraordinary.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F)l. T 2.T 3.F 4.F 5.T 6.F 7.T 8.FPart 2 PassageCorporate Culture1.How well the employee "fits" the culture can make the difference between job-search success and failure.2.It guides how employees think, act, and feel.3.The amount of time outside the office you're expected tospend with co-workers is part of the corporate culture.4.The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months.5.It should be a place where you can have a voice, be respected, and have opportunities for growth.Why should jobseekers care about a potential employer's corporate culture Aren't there more important factors to consider, such as the job itself, salary and bonuses, and fringe benefits（附加福利） These factors are indeed important, but increasingly career experts are talking about the importance of employee-employer fit in terms of culture, with the idea that how well the employee "fits" the culture can make the difference between job-search success and failure.What is corporate culture At its most basic, it's described as the personality of an organization, or simply as "how things are done around here". It guides how employees think, act, andfeel. Corporate culture is a broad term（广义的术语） used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics（企业伦理，公司道德）, and rules of behavior. Corporate culture can be expressed in the company's mission statement（宗旨）and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.How does a company's culture affect you In many, many ways.For instance:The hours you work per day, per week, including optionssuch as flextime and telecommuting.The work environment, including how employees interact,the degree of competition, and whether it's a fun orhostile environment - or something in-between.The dress code, including the accepted styles of attire*and things such as casual days.The office space you get, including things such ascubicles*, window offices, and rules regarding display ofpersonal items.The training and skills development you receive, which youneed both on the job and to keep yourself marketable forfuture jobs and employers.Onsite perks（特别的待遇）, such as break rooms, gyms andplay rooms, daycare facilities, and more.The amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers.Interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.How do you uncover the corporate culture of a potential employer The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you canask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as:What's it really like to work here?What skills and characteristics does the company valueHow do people get promoted around hereThe bottom line is that you are going to spend a lot oftime in the work environment ---and to be happy,successful and productive, you’ll want to be in a placewhere you fit the culture, a place where you can have avoice, be respect and have opportunity for growth.A：Pre-listening QuestionMany articles and books have been written in recent years about culture in organizations, usually referred to as "Corporate Culture". The dictionary defines culture as "the act of developing intellectual and moral faculties, especially through education". Some people define it as "the moral, social, and behavioral norms of an organization based on the beliefs, attitudes, and priorities of its members".Every organization has its own unique culture or value set. Most organizations don't consciously try to create a certain culture. The culture of the organization is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of an organization.B：Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. Youwill hear each sentence three timesC：Detailed ListeningDirections: Listen to the passage and complete the following paragraphsAt its most basic, corporate culture is described as the personality of an organization. It guides how employees think, act, and feel. Corporate culture is a broad term used to define the unique personality or character of a particular company or organization, and includes such elements as core values and beliefs, corporate ethics, and rules of behavior.Corporate culture can also be expressed in the company's mission statement and other communications, in the architectural style or interior decoration of offices, by what people wear to work, by how people address each other, and in the titles given to various employees.A company's culture affects you in many ways, such as the working hours, the work environment, the dress code, the office space you get, the training and skills development you receive, onsite perks, the amount of time outside the office you're expected to spend with co-workers and interaction with other employees, including managers and top management.D：After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1. The truth is that you will never really know the corporate culture until you have worked at the company for a number of months, but you can get close to it through research and observation. Understanding culture is a two-step process, starting with research before the interview and ending with observation at the interview.If you get a chance to meet with other employees, you can ask some questions to try and get a handle on an organization's corporate culture. Such as: What's it really like to work here What skills and characteristics does the company value How do people get promoted around here2.(Open)Section ThreeNewsNews Item 1News Item 1英巴首脑就巴冲突问题举行会谈On his way home from his first official visit to the United States, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari stopped in London for two days of discussions. 在首次正式访问美国之后的返回途中，巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里在英国停留两天，讨论问题。

施心远主编《听力教程3》UnitUnit 10Section One Tactics for ListeningPart 1 Spot DictationDo You Risk Enough to Succeed?During the semi-finals of the 1990 Wimbledon(1)tennis tournament, 16-year-old Yugoslav Monica Seles faced American Zina Garriaon. As the match (2)proceeded, it became clear that Seles’s most formidable (3) opponent was not Garrison but herself.“The match was so close,” said a crestfallen Seles afterward. “I was going for the (4)safe shots. Even on Zina’s second serve I was (5) scared to hit the ball for winners.”When things get (6) tough, conventional wisdom tell us to (7) play it safe, to pull in your horns. Consequently, rather than performing to (8) our potential, we concentrate on minimizing our losers. The results can be (9) catastrophic.If you find yourself shying away from (10) risks, these five tips will help you (10) tap into the adventurous spirit buried in us all.1. Take (11) dreams seriously.2. Take it in little steps . When starting something new, (12) figure outa first step and make it one you are reasonably sure of (13) accomplishing.3. Don’t say “don’t”, The Don’ts, a form of (14) negative goal setting, can be self-fulfilling because your mind (15) responds to pictures.4. Make your own (16) rules.5. Learn from your mistakes.By (17)embracing risk, you will accomplish more than you (18)ever thought you could. In the process you will (19) transform your life into an exciting adventure that will constantly challenge, reward and (20) rejuvenate you.Part 2 listening for GistIt'll be a dull day, with outbreaks of rain. There may be some heavy showers in the south-west later, with perhaps the odd thunderstorm. The outlook for tomorrow: continuing dull, but there should be some breaks in the cloud by midday. It'll be quite warm, with a maximum temperature of about 16 to 17 degrees.Directions: Listen to the passage and write do wn the gist and the key words that help you decide.1. This passage is about a weather forecast.2.

But in the twenties, late twenties, you kind of know what you wanna do and you kind of have an idea of, of how to get it. And you know how to settle down, too.

Thus Social Security is a logical place to start answering the question: Can we afford to continue this trend of retiring ever earlier and living longer?The Social Security Administration projected income and expense for the Social Security fund from 20XX年to 2050. The figures for both income-tax revenues and benefits paid out are sobering*. It highlights the coming deficits in a system on which so many Americans depend for atleast a part of their livelihood during retirement.The gap between revenue and expense arises because of demographic shifts. The aging of theBaby Boomers and life-extending medical advances combine to create an imbalance in the Social Security system as designed.The system was established in 1935 and was intended as an insurance policy against a poverty-ridden old age, a not uncommon fate for the elderly during the first decades of the 20th century.The Social Security system has been expanded many times since its inception*. It now covers workers, disabled persons, and the dependents of each. The system also adjusts benefits for inflation annually.In the 1930s, life expectancy in the US was 59.7 years; many people never reached the age of retirement. In 20XX年, life expectancy was 77.6 years; most people today live for quite a while on Golden Pond*. We're living longer and drawing from the Social Security fund for more years with each passing generation. The declining age of retirement only exacerbates* this trend.In simple terms, if the number of those paying into the fund drops as the number of those drawing from it rises, an imbalance is sure to develop in the future.Barring any restructuring of the system beforehand, Social Security expenses will exceed revenues in the year 20XX年. At that point thesystem will begin to use reserves to meet its obligations. According to the Social Security Administration estimates, these reserves will carry the system through the mid-2030s. At that point, if not sooner, one of two things will need to be done: (1) The Social Security tax rate will need to be increased, or (2) Benefits paid out wij1 need to be reduced. The second solution may involve extending the retirement age to 70 or an even older age. Since none of these options is politically palatable (the elderly have the highest voting rate), it remains to be seen which will be implemented - most likely some combination of the two.Since 3 out of every 10 Americans aged 65 or older depend on Social Security payments for 90% or more of their income (and 3 out of 5 depend on Social Security for 50% or more of their income) we must ask an important question: Are those of us now in our 30s and 40s planning on an alternative or supplemental retirement income?A: Pre-listening QuestionActually, it is a government scheme that provides economic assistance to those people faced with sickness, unemployment, maternity and retirement, etc. In this case, the cost is paid entirely out of taxation. If the cost is met wholly or partly from contributions paid by employers to the state, the scheme is usually called national insurance.B: Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to so me sentences and write the m do wn.

Last month in London, its leaders pledged $1 trillion to the IMF for loans and other assistance to help cushion the developing world from the effects of the global financial crisis But some questions remain. Activists say, for example, that the G-20 promised $100 billion for multi-lateral institutions like the African and Asian Development Banks, but did not specify where the money would come from.They also want clarification on how proposals made by the G-20 would work. One is the issuing of $250 billion worth of the IMF reserve currency, called Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs,to nations needing funding against the effects of the global financial downturn. It is estimated that nearly $19 billion would go to low income countries under the plan and $60 billion to middle income countries like Mexico and Brazil.SDRs, which are worth about $1.50 can be exchanged for the leading currencies, including the dollar, the euro and the yen.The IMF would distribute SDRs to states according to the size of their voting shares within the institution.A: Directions: Listen to the ne ws item and complete the summa ry.This news item is about the G-20’s financing aid for developing countries and activists’ doubt.

Central banks and governments fought back with massive cash injections, financial rescue packages and stimulus programs, but success in containing the crisis was far from assured.The global economy is expected to show a 1.1 percent drop in output for 20XX年, following a five percent expansion in 20XX年and three percent growth in 20XX年.The past year has seen sharp spikes in unemployment, which peaked at 10.2 percent in the United States, 9.8 percent in Europe, 9 percent in Brazil and 5.7 percent in Japan.But a turnaround is underway, according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner“The U.S. economy and the world economy a re now growing again. Businesses are starting to invest again, consumers are now spending, business and consumer confidence has improved, global trade is now expanding at an encouraging pace.“But analysts warn that perils remain, and badly needed financial reforms in the United States and elsewhere have yet to be implemented Policymakers must also decide when to wind down unprecedentedlevels of government stimulus and financial support. Those measures were deemed necessary in the face of an economic crisis, but can spark inflation if sustained for too long.The global economic downturn struck advanced industrialized nations particularly hard, providing an opening for rising economic powers like India and China to shine on the world stage.For many nations, the passing of the financial crisis means attention must be refocused on long-term problems that preceded the global recession. In the United States, massive government debt continues to grow at a time when an aging population is placing ever-greater demands on social welfare programs.In much of the developing world, such as in Kenya, other challenges must be tackled.Unlike in past economic rebounds, the United States is not in a position to drive global growth.Analysts say global economic growth will likely be powered by rapid expansion in countries like China and India, with contributions also coming from lesser developed nations.A: Directions: Listen to the ne ws item and complete the summa ry.This news item is about the global economic upturn after the financial crisis.B: Directions: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the follo wingstatements are true (T) or false (F).

His landmark book on evolution, On the Origin of Species, was published 150 years ago, and it's still considered perhaps the most important science book ever.In his book, Darwin described the idea of natural selection - species change and evolve, and organisms with characteristics more suitable to survival are more likely to reproduce. His ideas upended a 19th century world where most people believed that plants and animals always had their present form, and always would.His theory of evolution, as it's sometimes called, itself evolved over more than two decades, beginning with a five-year sea voyage aboard aBritish survey ship called the Beagle, where he served as naturalist, collecting specimens and observing exotic plants and animals.To get a larger picture of Charles Darwin the man and scientist, we're joined by an anthropologist who has written about Darwin and natural selection. We reached Mr. Milne r at his home in New Y ork.Charles Darwin was the son of two generations of English country physicians. He was born a naturalist, he said. When he was a little kid he loved poking under rocks, looking for fossils and bird's nests, making collections. His father shipped him off to medical school when he was 16 to be a doctor, like the rest of his family. But he couldn't stand the sight of blood.So then his father said, why don't you be a clergyman? So he was studying at Cambridge to be a churchman. But he could not get rid of this love he had for nature and trying to understand the birds and the beasts. And so when an offer came through one of his professors to be the ship's naturalist on a surveying ship, H.M.S. Beagle, that was going to do a five-year voyage around the world, he got permission to go, and he said, that was the start of my real life, that was the start of my real education.“So he sailed on the Beagle, which skirted around the coast of South America among other places in its journey over five years starting in 1831, and was there someplace along the line a "eureka moment" for Charles Darwin?”“Y eah, he had a eureka moment, but it had nothing to do with evolution.”“What was it that he saw during his voyage on the Beagle that firmed up for him the concept of natural selection?”“Well, Darwin, first of all, he was a collector on that ship. He collected thousands of specimens of rocks, fossils, insects, and birds. And he started to see patterns. He began to get the idea that all of life is related, and this is probably even more important than the idea of natural selection. The great tree of life. Darwin saw that we're all netted together, all living things are our cousins, and that's the foundation of evolutionary biology with or without natural selection.“Well, it's a pretty radical concept.”A: pre-listeningCharles Darwin (12 February 1809-19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book on the origin of species. The scientific community and much of the general public came to accept evolution as a fact in his lifetime, but it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensusdeveloped that natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution. In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.B: sentence Dictation1.

You know I was born in Lausanne*, Switzerland; myfather was Swiss-French Swiss and my mother was American,so, of course, we spoke both languages at home and I grew upbilingual. Then, of course, I learnt German at school - inSwitzerland that's normal. And because I was already fluent inEnglish, my second language at school was Italian. So I had areal head start (有利的开端)!Interviewer: So that's ... one, two, three, four - you had learnt four languages by the time you left school? How fluent were you? Suzanne: Urn, I was native speaker standard in French and English, butI'd become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was onlyschool standard. I decided the best option was to study in theUK, and I did Hispanic Studies at university, studying Spanishand Portuguese, with some Italian, and living in Manchester.Then I went to live in Brazil for two years, teaching English. Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six languages? Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasn't perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became prettygood!Interviewer: And then what did you do?Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to aninterpreters' school and then got a job in the United Nationswhen I was 28.Interviewer: And you've been there ever since?Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czech interpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987and that was where I learnt Czech.Interviewer: And the eighth language?Suzanne: Well, unfortunately the marriage didn't last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday,got a job and stayed for two years, which was when I learntJapanese.Interviewer: That's amazing! And now you're back at the United Nations? Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried on doing work for them when I was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria andSwitzerland, and I took a "sabbatical*" to work in Japan. Theyneed people who can understand Japanese. But, yes, I've beenback with them full-time for two years now.Interviewer: And your plans for the future?Suzanne: I'm going to learn more Oriental languages. It was such a challenge learning Japanese - it's so different from all the others.So I'll spend another two or three years here with the UNfull-time, during which time I hope to get a substantialpromotion, then I think I'll go back and learn Korean, orperhaps Chinese, and Thai - I'd love to learn Thai.

FPart 2 PassageThe Clyde RiverRunning through one of Britain's biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow, the Clyde River* was poisoned for more than a century bythe fetid* byproducts of industry.The waterway bore the brunt of(首当其冲)Glasgow's economic success during the Industrial Revolution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life.For the first time since the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a riverthat was once one of Britain's filthiest.The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumnat 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon in sevenof the nine major tributaries.The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, but last year's survey was the first to show they've come back in healthy numbers.Although commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fish's return is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the city's identity that two are picturedon its official coat of arms.The salmon's comeback is also a sign of big improvements to water quality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in recent years, salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated* water to thrive.The decline of Glasgow's main industries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was essentially fishless for decades during the worst periods of pollution.The closure of factories that had poured toxins* and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lightened dumping rules, and modern sewage processing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air.With worries rising about the environmental impact of enormous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good news for Scotland's fish lovers.Since the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to its history.The river's depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s. Later, during the Industrial Revolution that began in the late1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the country's great manufacturing centers.The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol.When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, gained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular tourist destination.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionRivers are important to humans because they supply fresh drinking water, serve as home for important fishes, and provide transportation routes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

A major conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will focus on ways to mitigate the worst affects of global warming.WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud (世界气象组织秘书长贾侯)says countries must have the tools to adapt to a changing climate. They must be able to respond to a world that is likely to experience more extreme weather events, such as floods and hurricanes.Jarraud notes farmers in certain parts of the world will have to adapt to a dryer climate. He says they might have to modify irrigation systems or consider growing crops that do not require much rain.He says global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. Therefore, better and more timely information on these phenomena are essential to make decisions onclimate variability and change. To do this, he says, weather observation networks must be strengthened.The WMO chief says climate change is a global problem. And, everyone needs everyone else to solve this problem.

An unexpected discovery at the southern end of the reef has provided some rare good news for researchers.Researchers found that coral in the Keppel Islands off Queensland, which was damaged by bleaching in 2006 and then smothered by seaweed that overgrew the reef, has managed to repair itself.Experts say to see reefs bounce back from mass coral bleaching in less than a decade is highly unusual.Like other coral systems, the Great Barrier Reef is facing a range ofenvironmental threats. Scientists say their capacity to recovery from damage inflicted by warmer waters, for example, will be critical to its future health.The Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's premier tourist attractions. It covers an area bigger than Britain and is the largest living structure on earth and the only one visible from space.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about the Great Barrier Reef.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l.

Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate change demonstration ever attempted. Mr. Ban urged people everywhere to pressure their governments to take decisive action to cut carbon pollution.Organizers are hoping that up to a billion people from small villages in Namibia to sprawling cities in Asia will participate in an international effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.One of the architects of Earth Hour, Andy Ridley from the conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), says the current financial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms."The global economic crisis has proved that we are a global community, so when America goes bad, we all go bad and climate change is going to be on a scale that is way, way beyond our global economic crisis at the moment and we need to put in place the measures to a) slow that down and ideally halt it, b) be ready for economies that will have to change. So, the longer we procrastinate the more we pay the penalty so we need to move quickly," he said.Earth Hour was started by environmentalists in Sydney in 2007. It encourages households, businesses and governments to switch off all non-essential lights for 60 minutes in a show of unified concern for thehealth and future of the planet.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and its aim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year, which hopes to establish a new U.N. climate treaty.However, critics of Earth Hour have insisted it is simply a symbolic gesture that will not affect significant environmental change.The event will officially begin on the international dateline in the remote Chatham Islands southeast of New Zealand and will conclude in Hawaii.Exercise A: Directions: Listen to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about a global event known as Earth Hour.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Scotland's Edinburgh Castle, the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing andthe pyramids in Egypt will join the Sydney Opera House in d imming their lights as part of Earth Hour.2.Ban Ki-moon has said it was the biggest climate changedemonstration ever attempted.anizers are hoping that up to a billion people will participate in aninternational effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions, which many scientists blame for a warming climate.4.Andy Ridley, One of the architects of Earth Hour, says the currentfinancial meltdown should not be used as an excuse to delay environmental reforms.5.In two years, the event has become a large global movement and itsaim is to create an enormous wave of public pressure that will influence delegates at a meeting in Copenhagen later this year.Part 2 PassageLab produces shape-shifting fruits and vegetables Many fruits and vegetables we know almost as much by their shape as by their color or taste. Bananas are long and curved. Onions are round. But what if you could alter the familiar shape? Would a square tomato still be a tomato?Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits and vegetables so they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen. It can be done to some extent with traditional hybrid techniques. And as we hear from reporter Julie Grant, it can also be done by flipping a genetic switch.Ester van der Knaap steps gingerly around the greenhouse. We're at the Ohio State Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster.Van Der Knaap points out short, round tomatoes - and some odd-looking long, thin ones.V AN DER KNAAP: "That's one gene. One gene can make that difference."Van der Knaap's team discovered that gene and isolated it. They call it the SUN gene. And they've been able to clone it in tomatoes.Van der Knaap's research could lead to square-shapes - something she thinks the tomato industry might like. Square tomatoes fit into packages better. And, overall, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.So far money for her research has come from the National Science Foundation - not big ag.Designer fruit shapes are gaining popularity.People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes they want for a long time. But this is not the same thing.Dick Alford is a chef and professor of hospitality management at the University of Akron [Ohio].The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks have been doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference between cross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.Chef Alford watches students as they cut yellow crookneck squashand carrots.They're trying to make uniform, symmetrical shapes out of curvy and pointed vegetables. There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.ALFORD: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you could get a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great."In a country that loves hamburgers, Van der Knaap has heard that request before. But the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. She says there's more genetics to be studied.“Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes”, Van der Knaap says, “ we'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And maybe then we'll get those square carrots.”Exercise A Pre-listening Question(open)Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down. You will hear each sentence three times.1.what if you could alter the familiar shape? Would a square tomato stillbe a tomato?2.Scientists are learning how to change the shape of fruits andvegetables so they can be harvested or processed more efficiently, or maybe just to reduce waste in the kitchen.3.People have been cross-breeding tomatoes to make the shapes theywant for a long time.

The hybrid or cross-breeding technique is regarded as the traditional way of changing the shape of fruits.3.The genetic technique which can also change the shape of fruits.4.They discovered the SUN gene and managed to clone it in tomatoes.pared with round tomatoes, square tomatoes might be easier to work with than the common round tomatoes.6.The difference between what his brother and lots of other folks havebeen doing and what van der Knaap is doing is the difference between cross-breeding and locating a specific gene that affects the shape of tomatoes.7.There's a lot of waste. Chef Alford hates to see so much get thrown away. So he's got a request of Dr. van der Knaap.8.“Once we know all the genes responsible for making different shapes in tomatoes, Van der Knaap says we'll have a better idea of what controls the shape of other crops, such peppers, cucumbers and gourds. And mayb e then we'll get those square carrots.”Exercise D After-listening DiscussionDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.1. Chef Alford’s request: "If we could get square carrots, it would be great. If you could get a nice long, a tomato as long as a cucumber, where you could get 20 or 30 slices out of them, it would be great." Van der Knaap’s opinion is that the long, thin tomato hasn't worked out just yet. and there's more genetics to be studied.2)(Open)。

She was very afraid and didn’t dare to say anything.Later that day, she found out what had happened, As a rule, Mr. Crump came to the office at about 9:30, because he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day.

The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End edy*. There’s a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the week there are concerts. Classical or pop, take your choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you shelter— and they’re free! When it’s fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to Greenwich* or upstream to Hampton Court*.You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you’re not likely to be bored.Part 3 Video British Pub Tradition Under ThreatExercise:1. Why are pubs important for British people?For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. They are the places where people can go for a pint of beer and lively conversation.2. Why is pub culture changing recently?According to Bridget Walsh, people tend to go restaurants instead of pubs and they buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink it at home.3. What makes British pub business go downward?They are the poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs.4. How does Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, view the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions?He sees the economic downturn as an opportunity and runs an Internet service to get more people into pubs by allowing them to have their mail delivered to their local pub.5. Do you think British pubs will dry up someday?I’m afraid not. The British love of beer and the rare British summer day is a good reason for them to have a pint of beer in the pub. Tapescript:For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. The place to go for a pint of beer and lively conversation. But Britain’s pubs are under threat. The poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs are all putting pubs under pressure. Bridget Walsh has been in the business for 42 years. She says pub culture is changing.“People aren’t going into pubs the way they used to years ago. They tend to go restaurants. They tend to buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink indoors, because people have entertainment indoors these day,” she said.It’s not just indoor entertainment people are looking for. Pubs —once smoke-filled rooms—are no longer. Smokers have to go outside these days. That’s hurt business too. “If they can’t have a pint and cigarette, you might as well drink at home,” Walsh adds.At the annual Great British Beer Festival in London, there are hundreds of beers, bitters, ales and plenty of enthusiasts. One might almost believe that pubs will be forever. But Neil Williams from the British Beer & Pub Association says the problem is serious.“Fifty-two pubs are closing every week here in the U.K., and that’s a big increase and, if we don’t take action, we’re going to lose a lot of our much-loved munity pubs,” he said.Williams says taxes on beer served in pubs rose by 20 percent in 18 months. All in all, he says it’s a difficult time.“Unfortunately, the smoking ban coincided with a lot of other very adverse trading conditions: rising costs, we had rapidly deteriorating economic conditions, plus hug tax increases, so we’ve likened it to a perfect storm,” he said.Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, sees the downturn as an opportunity. He runs an Internet service that allows customers to have their mail delivered to their local pub.“What we’re really trying to do is to do two things, to get more people into pubs more often, but also really to help pubs cement their position at the heart of their local munities,” Mills explains.Tastes here are changing though. Wine bars, a recent trend, are taking away some of the business for pubs. But the British love of beer and the rare British summer day will mean, pub owners hope, that business will never totally dry up.。

The British Theatre is world famous, and offers everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There’s a large number of cinemas presenting films from all over the world.

Why are pubs important for British peopleFor hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. They are the places where people can go for a pint of beer and lively conversation.2. Why is pub culture changing recentlyAccording to Bridget Walsh, people tend to go restaurants instead of pubs and they buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink it at home.3. What makes British pub business go downwardThey are the poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs.4. How does Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, view the rapidly deteriorating economic conditionsHe sees the economic downturn as an opportunity and runs an Internet service toget more people into pubs by allowing them to have their mail delivered to their local pub.5. Do you think British pubs will dry up somedayI’m afraid not. The British love of beer and the rare British summer day is a good reason for them to have a pint of beer in the pub.Tapescript:For hundreds of years, British pubs have been at the center of social life. The place to go for a pint of beer and lively conversation. But Britain’s pubs are under threat. The poor economy, a ban on smoking inside and high taxes on beer consumed at pubs are all putting pubs under pressure. Bridget Walsh has been in the business for 42 years. She says pub culture is changing.“People aren’t going into pubs the way they used to years ago. They tend to go restaurants. They tend to buy cheap booze in supermarkets and drink indoors, because people have entertainment indoors these day,” she said.It’s not just indoor entertainment people are looking for. Pubs—once smoke-filled rooms—are no longer. Smokers have to go outside these days. That’s hurt business too. “If they can’t have a pint and cigarette, you might as well drink at home,” Walsh adds.At the annual Great British Beer Festival in London, there are hundreds of beers, bitters, ales and plenty of enthusiasts. One might almost believe that pubs will be forever. But Neil Williams from the British Beer & Pub Association says the problem is serious.“Fifty-two pubs are closing every week here in the U.K., and that’s a big increase and, if we don’t take action, we’re going to lose a lot of our much-loved community pubs,” he said.Williams says taxes on beer served in pubs rose by 20 percent in 18 months. All in all, he says it’s a difficult time.“Unfortunately, the smoking ban coincided with a lot of other very adverse trading conditions: rising costs, we had rapidly deteriorating economic conditions, plus hug tax increases, so we’ve likened it to a perfect storm,” he said.Stuart Mills, an entrepreneur, sees the downturn as an opportunity. He runs an Internet service that allows customers to have their mail delivered to their local pub.“What we’re really trying to do is to do two things, to get more people into pubs more often, but also really to help pubs cement their position at the heart of their local communities,” Mills explains.Tastes here are changing though. Wine bars, a recent trend, are taking away some of the business for pubs. But the British love of beer and the rare British summer day will mean, pub owners hope, that business will never totally dry up.。

When choosing a bike for a child, what should you ensure?3. How old should a child be when the child is allowed out on the road on a bike?4. What do you know about the Cycling Proficiency Test?5. Before a child is allowed out alone, what should he be able to do?6. What is parent’s advice to their children when they are out ona bike in the dark?7. What is the parents’ responsibility?8. What can be life-saving?Exercise B:1. Make sure that your child’s bike has the right size of frame and that the saddle and handlebars are correctly adjusted. When sitting on the saddle, a child’s feet should comfortably touch the ground and hands must be able to work the brake levers.2. For night-time riding, lights must be working and reflectors must be clean.Tapescript:Cycling accidents often happen because children are allowed out on the roads before they’re really ready. After all, it takes time to learn to ride a bike safely, and riding safely means much more than just staying on. For example, a child must be able to turn and look behind, and do hand signals without wobbling. And at the same time as handling the bike safely, the child must be able to cope with the roads and traffic.How to prevent accidents? Make sure that your child’s bike has the right size of frame and that the saddle and handlebars are correctly adjusted. When sitting on the saddle, a child’s feet should comfortably touch the ground and hands must be able to work the brake levers. Make sure children can ride safely and can cope with roads and traffic before you let them out along. As a general rule, children under nine years oldshould never be allowed out on the roads on a bike alone. An adult should always be with them.Encourage your child to go in for a Cycling Proficiency Test. You can get details of courses from your Road Safety Officer at your local authority. Look in your telephone directory for the local authority number. But remember that these courses are often fun in school playgrounds, so it’s important to make sure that what’s learnt is then put into practice on the roads. Make sure that your child understands road signs.Explain, for example, that “crossroads” does not mean “cross the road”. Words like“one-way street” and “traffic island” can also be difficult for children to understand. Make sure that your child wears reflective clothing when out on a bike, especially in the dark or in bad weather. For night-time riding, lights must be working and reflectors must be clean.Bicycle maintenance can be life-saving. It’s up to parents to check their children’s bikes regularly and get repairs done properly. Teach your child, too, to check brakes and lights regularly.Section 3 Oral WorkPart 1 Questions and AnswersExercise: Listen to the dialogue and then answer some questions about it. You will hear the dialogue and the questions only once. Answer each question with a complete sentence after you have heard it.Questions:1. What was Mr. White doing this morning?(He was writing his book this morning.)2. According to Mr. White, was the book coming along all right?(No, he thought the rest of the book would be difficult to write.)3. What did Mrs. White expect?(He expected that Mr. White would find the answers interesting to work out.)4. Why did Mr. White think the house was easy to work in?(Because he would at least be able to think)5. When would the school holidays start?(They would start in a week.)6. Was it possible for Mr. White to work in the house during the school holidays?(No, it was impossible for him to work in the house.)7. Could Mr. White work in the garden this morning?(Yes, he could work in the garden this morning.)Why? (Because it was peaceful and quiet)8. Why should Mr. White make most of it while the garden was peaceful and quiet?(Because peace and quiet would be hard to find in the garden pretty soon.) Tapescript:Mrs. White: How did your writing go this morning? Is the book coming along all right?Mr. White: I’m not sure. I think the rest of it will be difficult to write. There are still some problems to solve.Mrs. White: I expect you’ll find the answers interesting to work out. Mr. White: If I can work them out. Thank goodness the house is easy to work in. I shall at least be able to think.Mrs. White: You’ve forgotten something. Peace and quiet will be difficult to guarantee much longer.Mr. White: Good, heavens, yes. The school holidays start in a week, don’t they? The house will be impossible to work in while they last.Mrs. White: Well, some extra noise is hard to avoid. But I’ll keep them away from the study as much as I can. That’ll be all right to work in. Mr. White: What about the garden? It was beautifully peaceful and quiet out there this morning.Mrs. White: Well, you’d better make the most of it while it lasts. Peace and quiet will be hard to find in the garden pretty soon, I’m afraid.Part 2 RetellingTo the American people, education is very important. The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 percent of the teenagers from fourteen to seventeen years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American elementary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare students for college. Its most important subjects were mathematics and foreign languages.Nowadays, American education is a big business. There are about 45 million students in the nation’s elementary schools and high schools. Each year there are about three million high school graduates. The main purpose of high school is still to prepare students for college. There are also job-training programmes in high school and programmes to teach useful skills for everyday life - for example, driver training, first aid, and even cooking.Section 4 Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening Comprehension My NephewExercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1. What did Tony’s uncle intend to do for Tony’s birthday this year?2. What did Tony’s uncle buy for his birthday the year before last?3. Why were Tony’s parents unthankful for the gift?4. What was Tony’s attitude towards the things to buy?5. What did he suddenly spot in a shop?6. How did his uncle persuade Tony to change his mind?7. What did Tony look like when his uncle saw him fifteen minutes later?8. What can be inferred from the passage?l. D 2. B 3. D 4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C8. DTapescript:This year I decided to do something to regain my reputation as a kindly uncle. My nephew, Tony, had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year. His parents had no reason to be grateful to me either »because the year before, I had presented their dear son with a pot of paste* and some funny pictures .Instead of sticking* them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them. This year, therefore, I decided to let him choose for himself.We went into a big toy shop but Tony was highly critical of everything he saw. In vain* did I show him toy after toy; he was not to be tempted*.Then I saw his eyes light up: he had discovered something hereally did approve of: a large tin drum. I was quite pleased, too, until I thought what Tony’s mother would say when she saw it. Nobody would get any sleep for weeks. I led Tony away quickly, saying that the drum was too expensive. If that was how I felt, Tony replied jokingly, then I could buy him the big model railway in the shop window. Now that was really expensive, so I quickly changed the subject.Tony asked for permission to go off on his own and I made the most of my opportunity to sit down and rest my aching feet. Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony. I began to get worried and got up to look for him, I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a grey suit. She looked about her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many little boys in grey suits. I was just beginning to despair*, when I saw a strange figure dressed in peculiar purple* clothes. The figure was wearing a false beard and a cave man’s* axe* in one hand, and a space gun in the other. It was, of course, Tony, who informed me at once that he was the first cave man to fly into space.Part 2 Oral WorkIn a recent broadcast, I heard a woman say that she felt guilty because she spent £20 at an auction sale. She was afraid her husband might accuse her of being extravagant. I find this attitude difficult to understand, for, obviously a married woman has as much right to spend £20 as her husband. Sometimes both husband and wife go out to work. But, in a case where the woman stays at home to look after the children, it is still unfair that she should feel guilty about spending a small sum of money on herself. Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topic.Do you agree with the speaker that the woman’s attitude is wrong?Part 3 Video Mars Rover: “A Mars Scientist’s Dream Machine”1. What’s the name of the Mars rover that was launched by the American space agency in November 2011?It is known as “Curiosity”.2. Where is it supposed to land?It is supposed to land at the foot of a mountain within a deep, 150-kilometer-wide hole called Gale Crater.3. What energy is used to support the Mars rover’s many activities and how long will the power last?The nuclear reactor supports the Mars rover’s many activities and it can maintain the operation of the rover for about two Earth years/one Martian year.4. What are the tasks of the Mars rover?They are: 1) collecting sample rocks and soil on Mars; 2) measuring the chemical make-up of rocks and soil; 3) looking for any organic material that might be present and the habitable environment for microorganisms.5. Give a brief description of the new rover.The new rover is a car-sized vehicle—much larger than the early ones. It contains a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor that will provide plenty of power for scientific activities. The vehicle also has 17 cameras, a laser and a big six-foot robotic arm. Inside the rover, there are two very capable scientific laboratories.Tapescript:The American space agency launched its Mars Science Laboratory, also known as “Curiosity,” in November of 2011. The car-sized vehicle is supposed to land on Mars in August 2012. This computer model shows what scientists expect will happen when the spacecraft carrying "Curiosity" reaches the red pl anet. Curiosity” is supposed to land at the foot of a mountain within a deep, 150-kilometer-wide hole called Gale Crater. Deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada tells about “Curiosity.”“This is a Mars scientist’s dream machine. We’re so excited to have this rover going to Mars this year. It’s going to be the virtual presence for over 200 scientists around the world to explore Mars and Gale Crater that we’ll talk about. This rover is not only the most technically capable rover ever sent to another planet, but it’s actually the most capable scientific explorer we’ve ever sent out.”“Curiosity” is much larger than earlier rovers. It has a plutonium-fueled nuclear reactor that will provide plenty of power for“Curiosity’s” many activities. The vehicle also has 17 cameras, and a laser that can examine the chemical make-up of rocks.“What really dominates the design of this rover is the fact that it has this ability to sample rocks and soils on Mars for the first time, and so it has a big six-foot [1.8 meter] robotic arm. And the rover is partly that big because it holds two very capable scientific laboratories inside the rover.”One instrument measures the minerals in rocks and soil. Another looks for chemicals and any organic material that might be present. The goal of the experiment is to learn if Mars ever had environmental conditions that could have supported microorganisms.“This mission is really about looking for those habitable environments, and not det ecting life itself.”Vasavada says the mountain within Gale Crater will provide plenty of information about the development of Mars. That is because each layer of rock contains new clues.“It has some geologic evidence that water was around. We hope, in fact, to search for organics with this mission. That’s another requirement for life as we know it.”The nuclear reactor on “Curiosity” has enough power to operate on the surface of Mars for about two Earth years, which is the same as one Martian year.补充阅读：职业访谈与工作面试是一回事吗说起职业访谈（Informational Interview），很多人都不清楚是什么意思。
