英语听力教程(第2册)Unit3听力原文

Unit 3 听力原文Part IBSam: I won?t be able to do the exam tomorrow. I just don?t feel that I?m ready.Counselor: You say that you don?t feel ready for tomorrow?s exam ... what do you feel like right now?Sam: Well, I?m angry with myself because I?m going to have to quit the exam and, well, I guess I?m anxious. Yes, I feel very anxious.Counselor: When you think about this anxiety, what image do you have of yourself?Sam: Well, I see myself trying to explain to my Dad why I didn?t make the grade on this course ... and I see him getting angry ... and, well, I start to feel I?ve let him down again.Counselor: You don?t feel ready for your exam, you feel anxious and you don?t want to let your Dad down again. Tell me about the last time you let your Dad down.Sam: Oh, well, it was a year ago ... He?d entered me for a chess competition and I got knocked out in the first match ... he was angry because he?d told all his friends how good I was.Counselor: What did you tell him ... as an explanation when you lost the chess game?Sam: I told him that I wasn?t ready to play in that league.Counselor: And now you are preparing to tell him that you?re not ready to sit this examination? Sam: Yes, I suppose I am.Counselor: O.K. Sam, so what you are saying to me is that you feel reluctant to take the exam tomorrow because you do not like the thought of having to explain a poor grade or a failure toyour father. Is that right, Sam?Sam: Yes. That?s exactly it.C1. A: When I read in English, I always want to understand every single word and so I spend a lotof time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time I?ve looked up the word in my dictionary, I?ve forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. That?s my trouble really — I rely too much on my dictionary.B: Well, why don?t you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? You?ll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean.2. A: I have to read a lot of books and articles in English for my work —I?m a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when I?m reading and so sometimes I find that I?m almost copying out the whole article because I can?t decide what the really important points are.B: It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea ofwhat it?s about. I think it?s difficult to read something for the first time and take notes as well.3. A: I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but there?s one thing I find very difficult in English. I?m never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times I?ve read something I thought was serious and later I?ve found out it was supposed to be funny.B: I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one day perhaps we?ll understand the British sense of humor.4. A: I have to read a lot in English in my studies and this is causing me problems. I read too slowly in English. Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understandwhat I?m reading?B: Well, there are special courses in speed reading, I think. But you could probably help yourself if you set yourself a time limit and try to read as much as you can within the time. I?ve done that and it?s helped me a lot.Par tⅡ(Part I)Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had for French when I was at school ... er ... er ... Many years ago - more years than I care to remember, I?m afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in myfirst year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teacher till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages — French and German — at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I don?t count Latin, because I never managed to speak any Latin at all. Er, well, this ... this teacher didn?t make it easy ... he didn?t make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot.When I think back, I ... don?t really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard — I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing — er, and he wasn?t very friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didn?t really try to make the classes interesting —I mean, no ... no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes ... but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hour?s conversation class every week. But, you know, because of that man — some people might say in spite of him ... no, that wouldn?t be fair, no — but quite a lot of us began to like France and the French a lot, and, er, to visit France in the summer holidays to see it for ourselves.(Part II)Yes, I think with him I learned that when you learn a foreign language ... it?s, it ... well, it?s like opening a door or a ｗｉｎｄｏｗinto a foreign country. And that?s good for you, I think, because you begin to see that the way they do things and think in your country is, um, isn?t necessarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.It?s funny, I still have a very clear picture of that teacher. He was English but he didn?t look English somehow, ,cos he had very, very black hair and very dark eyes, and he wore glasses with black frames, but you could see his eyes very well, and everyone in the class always had the feeling that he was looking at them. And he had very thick, bushy eyebrows that made him look very, er, very serious.Yes, I remember he was very musical —played the piano very well and sang. Now, he was quite a good rugby and tennis player. Great family man, too. He had three children and a very interesting wife. I suppose he must have been in his thirties when I knew him ...PartⅢChildren of a Decadekeep in touch with：保持联系soak：浸泡come to：到达;共计;突然想起put sb. off：使人离开、气馁bring tears to：使落泪emblazon：颂扬，盛饰decade：十年teddy：妇女连衫衬裤chap：小伙子，小家伙，家伙Lake District：湖区porridge：粥;麦片粥;稀饭incident：事件，事变goody-goody：会巴结的人hymn：赞美诗;圣歌homesick：思乡病favorite：中意的worst：最坏的marvelous：非凡的;神乎其神shy：害羞的stupid：笨Presenter: In this edition of our series “Children of a Decade” I?ll be talking to Jack Thompson, who was born in 1940, and to Shirley Sutton, who was born in 1930. First of all, Jack, thanks for joining us. Perhaps ...Jack: Not at all.Presenter: Perhaps you?d tell us about your memories of your first holiday away from home?Jack: Oh ... yes ... um ... at age ten I think it was, yes, I went to stay with an aunt at the seaside. Well, it wasn?t a very happy experience. I felt very homesick at first.Presenter: Mmm. And what about your first day at school, can you remember that?Jack: Yes, I can. Er ... er ... I was five years old and I wanted to take all my toys with me but ...er ... they wouldn?t let me. In the end it was agreed that I could take my teddy ... er ... but only on the first day.Presenter: Oh, I see. Your school days, were they happy ones?Jack: Well ... er ... I didn?t have a very good time at school — I wasn?t very bright, you see. And the teachers didn?t seem to like me, but ... er ... I made a lot of friends and some of them I stillkeep in touch with. One of them I married.Presenter: Oh, that?s wonderful. Well, did you have a favorite teacher?Jack: Miss Robinson ... or was it ... no, it was Miss Robson. My first teacher, that?s right yeah ...very kind. Marvelous storyteller.Presenter: And who was your worst teacher?Jack: Mr. Goodman, that?s right. We used to call him “Goody”. Yeah, he pulled your ear if you made a mistake or talked in class. Yeah, my left ear is still bigger, look.Presenter: Ha ha. Perhaps you can tell us about your last day at school?Jack: My last day, oh yeah, that?s emblazoned on my mind. Oh, I wanted to get my own back you see on old Mr. Goodman — the chap we used to call ... er ... “Goody”— so I put this bucket of water over the classroom door but it fell on him and he got soaked, you see. Ha ha. I?ve never seen anyone so angry. Oh, it was a good one, that.Presenter: Thank you very much, Jack. And now Shirley.Shirley: Yes.Presenter: Now, can you tell me about your first holiday away from home?Shirley: Oh yes ... er ... yes ... er ... at the age of eight it was. We went on holiday to the Lake District. We stayed at a little guest house, just me and my parents. Er ... I remember we had ... er ... honey for breakfast with ... er ... the toast and ... oh ... and porridge — I hated it.Presenter: That sounds lovely? Oh, porridge, you hated it?Shirley: Ha ha.Presenter: Well, what about your first day at school?Shirley: Well, I ... I ... I don?t remember any special incidents ... er .... Oh, I was very frightened and shy at first ... er ... I ... I know that, I can remember, but I soon came to enjoy school.

Oh, perhaps this was because I was a bit of a goody-goody.Presenter: And what about your teachers? Did you have a favorite?Shirley: I did, yes. I remember her well, she was called Miss Brown and she was our history teacher. Oh, she really made history come to life, she really did.Presenter: Were there any bad moments? Did you have a worst teacher?Shirley: Aye, I did and I can remember her name too. Her name was Mrs. Sharpe and she taught math. Oh, she had no patience. I wasn?t all that good at math and she always said to me, “You stupid girl!” It put me off math for life.Presenter: Oh, what a shame.Shirley: I know.Presenter: Perhaps you could tell me about your last day at school?Shirley: Oh yes, well, I?m afraid I cried. We sang our favorite hymn at the end of the term and I cried. It brought the tears to my eyes.Presenter: Oh, and it?s bringing a tear to my eye now. Thank you very much.Shirley: Thank you.Presenter: And thank you too, Jack Thompson, thank you very much. Next week we?ll be hearing from two people who were born in 1920 and 1910. So from me, Libby Freeman, good-bye.PartⅣSchool reportschool report：学生成绩报告单safety：安全quality：质量empowered：授权;准许;使能够involvement：投入，介入guarantee：保障superior：（级别、地位）较高的;（在质量等方面）较好的;（数量）较多的;上...concentrate：集中comment：评论intelligent：聪明的;[计]智能的give up on sb：放弃biology：生物学;生物well above：好于guide back：保证geography：地理（学）oral：口头go to pieces：零散average：平均positive：积极come bottom：打底attitude：态度look on the bright side：看好的一面hockey：曲棍球Mrs. Daniels: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey?s parents? Mr. Thompson: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels?Mrs. Daniels: Yes, that?s right. Now, just let me find my notes. As you know I don?t actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin. Is there anything you want to ask me?Mr. Thompson: Well, yes, to be honest we?re a bit worried about her last report -- she doesn?t seem to be doing as well as she was.Mrs. Daniels: Well now, let?s see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she?s finding the work more difficult now that they?re getting near to the exams. Mrs. Thompson: I was never any good at math.Mrs. Daniels: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn?t concentrating very hard in biology lessons. Mrs. Thompson: Oh, but she really likes biology and she?s so good at drawing.Mrs. Daniels: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking toher friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn?t giving in her homework. Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn?t had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.Mr. Thompson: Yes, we don?t know what to do about it. She doesn?t seem to be interested in school any more.Mrs. Daniels: I don?t think we should give up on her. Tracey?s a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons. Mrs. Thompson: Yes, that?s part of Tracey?s trouble. She talks too much.Mrs. Daniels: Well, nevertheless, oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back toa more positive attitude to school work, she?ll do very well.Mr. Thompson: Well I hope so. I?m very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.Mrs. Daniels: Well it?s not because she can?t do French — she just prefers to chat in English! At least she?s doing well in sport. She?s in the hockey team and you know we haven?t lost a single match this year!Mr. Thompson: Well, it?s nice to know she does something well.Mrs. Daniels: Oh, come now, Mr. Thompson, let?s look on the bright side.Part V Memory test: Study HabitsMan: Do you find that you get a lot of students asking you for advice about revision techniques? Woman: Well, yes, I mean, they do, but, when they?ve got quite big exams coming up, (yeah), you know I really find it quite a problem because (pause) (laugh) well, I don?t have to revise myself very often these days, and ... but when I ... when I was at university, erm I mean, well, it just seems to be a matter of what suits one person doesn?t suit another. (Oh yeah) I mean, because,well, the girl I shared a house with at university. Now she worked, erm, she used to get up amazingly late, and, er, she didn?t really start work until, er, in the evening I think, an?, then she liked to have rock music on really loud an? she used to, you know, play records really loud right through until sort of very late at night, you know, into the small hours (Oh God!) and I was, sort of, well I was just the opposite and er, well, the only way I could ever get any work done was to make myself wake up incredibly early and well, then work a bit and have some breakfast and, then, well, you know, I?d sort of potter about a bit and then I?d go and do my shopping and things, well that?d be about getting on towards midday, but then in the afternoon I?d have a rest and when I woke up I?d think about eating and I suppose I?d call that my supper, and but, er, I mean she was, I mean, it was her lunch or even her brunch that she was having at that time.Man: Yeah, yeah, I suppose I?m a bit like you really. I like to get up fairly early, say around seven, might have a cup of coffee, and... before I started get myself totally organized so that I knew ... exactly what I was doing, get it all organized, and then work solidly, well maybe do six hours revision without stopping and that was the only way I could do it.Woman: Yes, yes, and would you say to yourself, you know, er, “well, I?m gonna do six hours today and I?m not gonna, go, I?m not gonna have any fun until I?ve done six hours,”?Man: Yeah, it was very much like that, erm, an unpleasant thing that you had to regulate.Woman: Mmm. I mean, well, I just hate revising anyway, I mean, you know I hate that sort of thing, I mean, and in fact, I did very little solid, sensible work, and, er ... what I?d do is, because I was doing literature, I used to re-read the novels, you know, on the course, and I?d have ... erm ... classical music on the radio, because well I used to find that I used to get very bored if there was just nothing, you know nothing at all in the background.Man: Yes, I think of the people who do revise, there are two sorts, there are those who ... work almost by topic, they select a topic, and plough through it regardless, and then, there are, there are those who set themselves a time limit of an amount to be done rather than working through a specific topic regardless of the limit ... of time ... as I say ...。

英语听力教程第三版张民伦主编UnitAKaleidoscopeofCulture听力原文Unit 7 A Kaleidoscope of CulturePart I Getting readyMew York is one of the most important cities in the world. It is not only a center for business, but also a center for music and art. It has many famous buildings and places of interest. And it, too, has jot its nickname. What is itAudioscript：A：Are you ready for the trip to the museum in "the Big Apple" I can hardly wait.B："The Big Apple" What are you talking aboutA："The Big Apple" is the nickname for New York City. You are going to New York with us, aren't youB：Yes, I'm going. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Art. There's a special show of 20th centuryAmerican painters there. But, tell me, where did the nickname"the Big Apple" come fromA：The jazz musicians of the 1920s are responsible for the name.When they played a concert in a city, they called that city an apple.Of course New York was the biggest city in the country and best place for a jazz concert. So the musicians called it "The Big Apple".B：Amazing! New York is such a fascinating place and it even has an interesting nickname, one that it's had for more than 50years. Britain is famous for its pubs, where you can sample a pint of British beer, enjoy good-value bar meals and savor the friendly atmosphere. The pub boasts an excellent range of hot and cold bar snacks or a wide selection of home-cooked meals with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.Audioscript：There are visitors who come to England and leave thinking they have never been inside a pub. They don't realize that the words "pub" or "public house" are rarely included in the title of the place. So how do you know whether a building is a pub and what does a pub offer the visitorThe first thing to look for is a large sign either hanging over the street or placed on a pole outside the building. This sign may have a name like The Kings Arms, The Black Rabbit or The Duke ofKendal or an appropriate picture. Many pubs have names linked to royalty, popularheroes, sports or great occasions. There is a pub called The Concorde after the new airliner.On the doors of a pub you may see the words Saloon Bar or Public Bar. The Saloon Bar is more comfortably furnished. Occasionally the words Free House can be seen beside the name of the pub. This doesn't mean they serve free food and drink; it refers to the fact that the pub doesn't buy its drinks from one particular brewery only. It isn't a "tied house" -- tied to a brewery.The services a pub offers vary around the country. The basic service is the sale of alcoholic drink at certain times of the day. Opening times, as these periods are often called, are usually from 10.30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays. On Sundays the opening times are 12 noon until 2 p.m. and 7-10.30 p.m. although these times can vary slightly according to theregion. Pubs can also offer food and accommodation. To help visitors, an experimental system of symbols has been tried out in Southern England and East Anglia. These symbols indicate just what is available from a particular pub.Part II Times squareTimes Square is in the heart of New York City. Every year, Times Square is the center of worldwide attention on New Year's Evebecause of the rooftop celebrations to usher in the New Year. Apart from that, there are some other things that make Times Square famous.Audioscript："Times Square is New York." Those are the words of the head of the Times Square Alliance, a coalition of area businesses. The millions of visitors to Times Square each year would probably agree. The area has one of the most recognizable names in the world. But, Times Square is not really a square. It is the name for the area around where Broadway crosses 42nd Street in Manhattan. The Times Square area stretches more than ten blocks north to south. The borders to the east and west are uneven. Some people call the shape of the area a bow tie.Times Square gets its name from The New York Times newspaper. In 1904, the newspaper began to build its headquarters in what was then called Long Acre Square. The city's underground train system built a stop under the Times Tower. The city renamed the area Times Square. On December 31st, 1904, the newspaper held a big celebration in Times Square to welcome the New Year. Fireworks lit the sky. Celebrations have taken place every year since then. Now, crowds also watch a big glass ball slide down a pole as the New Year arrives.Hundreds of businesses are in Times Square. The alliance says twenty percent of all hotel rooms in New York City are in Times Square. It says Times Square also has about six and one-half million square meters of office space. And more is being built.Times Square is home to famous Broadway theaters. And several television companies have studios there. MTV is one of them. Times Square is probably most famous for its huge colorful signs. The alliance says Times Square is the only place in New York where businesses are required to use them.Audioscript：It is another typical morning in Times Square: Taxi cabs blare their horns, 15 foot billboards look down over throngs of people hurrying by, and in the middle of it all, members of a smash Broadway musical climb up on a stage to dance and sing for the tourists.The entertainment is being organized by the Times Square Business Improvement District, the people responsible for making the area as welcoming to tourists as possible. Right now, the square is crowded and business is booming. So much so, in fact, that several sidewalks had to be widened recently to cope with the increase in visitors. Andsome New Yorkers are even pushing for the entire area to be off limits to traffic: modeling Times Square after a European plaza.It has not always been this way. Until a decade or so ago, Times Square had the well-deserved reputation of a seedy neighborhood teeming with prostitutes and drug dealers. A sizeable part of the area's economy came from stores selling pornography or cheap knock-off goods. The city government neglected the area, spending little of its tourism budget on improvements.But today, theaters, restaurants and upscale stores have replaced the sex shops. A thriving partnership between City Hall and private businesses, such as Disney Company, has revitalized Times Square.The current mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, has made it a priority to clean up the area. Crime rates have declined and visitors feel a lot safer on the square. Part of that effort has involved the Times Square Business Improvement District and its President, Brendan Sexton.Mr. Sexton and his colleagues are launching a new line of Times Square clothing and accessories which, they hope, will compete with everything else on offer to visitors to New York. Instead of just passing through Times Square and stopping only to take a picture of all theflashing lights and neon signs, Mr. Sexton hopes tourists will stop and shop, and bring a little piece of the revitalized Times Square home with them.Part III Americans love chocolate Chocolate is one of the most popular holiday gifts. Gifts of chocolate molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays. Chocolate bunnies and eggs are popular on Easter, chocolate coins on Hanukkah, snowmen and other holiday symbols on Christmas, and chocolate hearts or chocolate in heart-shaped boxes on Valentine's Day. Chocolate most commonly comes in dark, milk, and white varieties, with cocoa solids contributing to the brown color.Audioscript：Chocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie. But its roots run much deeper.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate.She isco-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C."I think it's one of the best comfort foods there is. It's easy to eat. It melts in your mouth. There's a warm sensation. "Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron's chocolates are made with the finest ingredients, right on the premises.Americans' love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country. Mark Sesler is senior vice president of marketing at Russell Stover Candies, one of the largest manufacturers of chocolate in the United States.According to Sesler, the industry got its start in the early 1900s with small-scale chocolatiers such as Steven Whitman, and Claire and Russell Stover. They started with small stores -- much like Kron -- but soon expanded their business into broader markets -- thanks, Sesler notes, to an important technological advance."It's the advent of refrigeration that has really made the availability of chocolate very prevalent throughout the United States. I think chocolate has secured its place as a delectable treat for a number of societies and a number of countries. So I think we're just one of many countries who enjoy the delicacy that is chocolate."Susan Fussell is spokesperson for the National Confectioner's Association, a trade group that represents virtually everyone who's involved in the production and sale of candy in the United States.And why does Fussell think chocolate is so universally popular"Well there's really nothing like chocolate ... One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at body temperature. So when you put chocolate in your mouth, it has a mouth feel that's unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your-mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food."Audioscript：Chocolate is as big a part of American culture as baseball and apple pie. But its roots run much deeper.Made from the seed of the tropical cacao tree, chocolate dates back at least 3 000 years to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America, where the cacao tree is native. The Aztec people valued the tree's cocoa beans so much, they used them as currency.In what is now Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, in the southwestern United States, new archaeological evidence shows that people were eating chocolate here more than 1 000 years ago.And they're still at it. Today, the average American eats almost 5 kilograms of chocolate each year.Cheri Friedman knows how much America loves chocolate. She isco-owner of Kron Chocolatiers, a small, gourmet chocolate shop that opened 32 years ago in Washington, D.C."I think it's one of the best comfort foods there is. It's easy to eat. It melts in your mouth. There's a warm sensation. "Friedman says she takes pride in the fact that Kron's chocolates are made with the finest ingredients, right on the premises.Americans' love of chocolate has helped to make it a big business in this country. Mark Sesler is senior vice president of marketing at Russell Stover Candies, one of the largest manufacturers of chocolate in the US.According to Sesler, the industry got its start in the early 1900s with small-scale chocolatiers such as Steven Whitman, and Claire and Russell Stover.

So I think we're just one of many countries who enjoy the delicacy that is chocolate."Susan Fussell is spokesperson for the National Confectioner's Association, a trade group that represents virtually everyone who's involved in the production and sale of candy in the US.Fussell says that although the US is the largest total consumer of chocolate, it is not first in terms of per-capita consumption."In fact, we come in somewhere around No. 12, and that's because, of course, there are so many countries in Europe that have even more of an established culture around chocolate -- if you can imagine -- than we do in the United States."And why does Fussell think chocolate is so universally popular "Well there's really nothing like chocolate ... One of the main ingredients in chocolate is cocoa butter. And cocoa butter melts at bodytemperature. So when you put chocolate in your mouth, it has a mouth feel that's unlike any other food that you eat. It has thatmelt-in-your-mouth sensation right there on your tongue, and it is very hard to approximate that with any other food."But that melt-in-your-mouth sensation comes at a price. Chocolate as we know it today is made with lots of sugar and milk, both very high in calories. That's given chocolate a rather bad reputation among nutritionists.In recent years, however, research has proved that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, is also naturally rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants -- a fact that chocolate manufacturers like Russell Stover are happily promoting.But no matter the preference, Fussell says when it comes to holidays, chocolate is king, especially on Valentine's Day, every February 14th. That's a day when people all across the country express their love for one another with gifts, flowers, cards and -- more often than not -- chocolates."Valentine's Day itself, February 14th, is the single largest sales day during the year for sales of boxed chocolates."Part IV More about the topic:BullfightingSpain has become internationally known for its bullfighting, a tradition that spawns debate in many parts of the world and within Spain itself. Fans of bullfighting claim that it is a culturally important tradition, while animal rights activists argue that it is a blood sport due to the suffering of bulls involved.Audioscript：Bullfighting is seen as a symbol of Spanish culture.It traces its roots to prehistoric worshiping and sacrificing of bulls.A carpenter's assistant from the town of Ronda, Spain, Francisco Romero invented the "muleta," or red cape, used to lure the bull past the matador's body. Legend has it Romero rescued a young nobleman by using his flat-brimmed Andalusian hat to lure away an irate bull. Thus was born the modern bullfight. He was the founding father of a bullfighting dynasty, fundamental for bullfighting history. He was apparently the inventor of several characteristics that started to be used in a key period for bullfighting when the modern on foot system was defined, as the use of the cape and sword to kill the bull face to face.The bullfight, known in Spain as the "corrida," was first launched as an official spectacle sport in 1133. at the coronation of King Alfonso VIII, and steadily gained in popularity through the years of the Reconquest of Moorish Spain.A typical Spanish bullfight requires six bulls and three matadors, and is divided into three parts. If the matador has done exceptionally well, the audience will give a standing ovation and throw hats and roses into the arena. The matador will also receive one or two severed ears and the tail of the bull, depending on the quality of his performance. Bullfighting has always been controversial in Spain. Supporters of bullfighting regard it as a deeply ingrained, integral part of their national culture, but it is criticized by animal rights activists as a pointless and cruel blood sport.In fact, bullfighting is not just a Spanish tradition; Portugal, Latin America and a few cities in southern France also have a history of bullfighting.Audioscript：Over 1000 people have demonstrated in Madrid to go for anend to bullfighting in Spain. Though small, the protest comes amid reneweddebate in the country about bullfighting, which many see as inhumane but others consider an integral part of Spanish culture.Carrying banners reading "Abolish bullfighting" and comments disparaging bullfighters, the coalition of animal rights activists and ecologists gathered in Madrid's central Puerta del Sol square. The Madrid regional government's decision to officially declare the sport part of Spain's cultural heritage has intensified opposition：Male protestor (voice of translator):"I feel very ashamed. I feel ashamed of being Spanish when I hear of these crimes, and people say this torture is culture. For me it is savage, more appropriate to other centuries."The centuries-old spectacle, whose ritual includes implanting barbed sticks into the bull before a matador kills it with a sword, draws thousands to the country's bullrings and, matadors receive celebrity media coverage. Many Spaniards reject accusations of cruelty: Madrid resident (in Spanish)This Madrid resident insists those who want to watch bullfighting should be allowed to continue doing so, as it is part of the nation's culture.But support for bullfighting varies across the country, with parliament in the autonomous Catalan region recently debating a possible ban, and a vote there on the issue is expected soon. In Spain's Canary Islands, the sport is already outlawed.Part V Do you know ...A name is a word or term used for identification. So a name can be given to a person, a place or a thing. But do names have meanings Many people tend to be unaware of the specificmeaning of a name unless it happens to be their own name. Many names originally had meanings, but you can't assume that that meaning was intended in any given case.Audioscript：An American town called Boring has voted in favour of pairing with a village by the name of Dull in Scotland.This means the two of them will participate in joint activities, such as the promotion of tourism and cultural exchange. Boring decided in favour of the move after being approached by the residents of Dull. But what's in a name Is Boring really tiresome and is Dull tedious Are these places in themselves humdrum and insipid or is it just their names which suggest they are drab The village of Dull consists of just one row of houses on the north side of a river valley, which means that it must be very peaceful but probably rather stale and monotonous for young people looking for exciting nightlife. It should also be said that the origin of the name Dull is from the Gaelic language, which was spoken in Scotland before the arrival of the English. Therefore it probably means "meadow" rather than mundane.Boring, on the other hand, was named after an early resident of the town, William H. Boring, though whether he was a wearisome fellow himself is not known. The town lies in the state of Oregon, about 30 kilometres from the city of Portland. Is it flat Not in a literal sense. Oregon is a mountainous state. And Boring's residents insist that the town is "The most exciting place to live". However, in comparison to Seattle, the biggest city in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, Boring must be at least a little lifeless.However exciting the communities may or may not be, they are both planning events to celebrate their pairing. The Dull andWeem Community Council intends to mark the partnership with a new road sign and street party.Part VII Watch and enjoyChinese cuisine is certainly a part of Chinese culture. In the following video clip, a woman will teach you how to cook a Chinese dish -- steamed sea bass. The steps of the cooking and the making of the sauce have been listed below. Arrange them in the correct order. The first ones have been done for you.Videoscript：In China it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true. And this is certainly a dream recipe. I want to cook you my steamed sea bass in a ginger, lime beer sauce, and it couldn't be simpler.Slice a few slits. One side, and then the other. And I'm going to keep the head on because in Chinese tradition, that is a sign of unity and balance. Next, slice some ginger. Just big enough so they fit into the slits of the fish. And this is going to impart a delicious, aromatic heat, and it's going to taste fantastic. And on the other side, so the ginger's gone into the slits. And now all we do is just place it on a heat-proof plate in the bamboo steamer. Before we steam the fish, I'm going to add a little bit of Shaoxing rice wine. So about a tablespoon. In Chinese cooking, Shaoxing rice wine is a classic seasoning for fish and meat dishes, adding bitter-sweet flavors. Next, lay some finely sliced spring onion on the fish. Steam over boiling water for seven to eight minutes until the fish is opaque. In Chinese culture, we try to balance opposite influences, known as Tin and Yang. They are the controlling elements in nature which should be balanced for a harmonious life. This dish, it's got those elements. The sea bass is very yin, and the ginger and rice wine which I have had a splash of that,they are very, very yang. This is the perfect balanced dish, and in Chinese cooking, we're always trying to achieve this perfect balance. Let's just check on the sea bass. The sea bass is lovely and it's cooked. You can see the meat has turned opaque, the eyes have turned white, and the flesh is lovely and flaky-ish. It just gives as you give it a slight poke.And for the sauce, finely grate some ginger. This is the hot, or yang to the fish's cool yin. For additional freshness, some zingy lime zest, two tablespoons should be about right. What we want to do now is get the wok nice and hot. And I'm just going to place the sea bass ... here. Just let that plate cool slightly. My special ingredient for this dish is Chinese beer. This is really going to add a delicious sweetness and really compliment the sea bass. If you can't get Chinese beer, then you can just use a light lager.So, wok lovely and hot, in with some groundnut oil, about a tablespoon or two. And then give this a good swirl. Then very, very quickly, in with the ginger. Before the ginger burns, put the fish carefully into the wok. Add a drop more rice wine or dry sherry, some light soy sauce。

No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.1.T hey are possibly boyfriend and girlfriend.2.In a restaurant.3."It doesn't really matter, does it? I haven't got anything better to do, have I?""I've only been waiting for over an hour.That's all" "After all, my time isn't reallythat important, is it?" well, at least It waslucky you found a barrage to repair yourcar4. If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts* a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam* container slightlylarger than a shoebox.Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolenstatuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth." Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionEvery January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking. The annual presentation of the Oscars has become the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' most famous activity. The Oscar Statuette is a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listening to some sentences and write them down.

This guy is a dictator and so we have to seewhat he says." The president says the Iraqi leader has a choice to make: disarm peacefully or be disarmed by force: "If Saddam Hussein does not comply to the detail of the resolution, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. It is over. We are through with negotiations. There is no more time. The man must disarm. He said he would disarm. He now must disarm." Mr. Bush spoke with reporters while touring the Washington D.C. police department, a tour designed to highlight his plan to create a cabinet level Department of Homeland Security. He left no doubt his patience regarding Iraq is wearing very thin*, stressing the United States will no longer tolerate any efforts by Saddam Hussein to circumvent* demands to disarm.

Directions: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).British Prime Minister Tony Blair delivered a radio address late Thursdayto the Iraqi people warning that Saddam Hussein must comply with UN demands or suffer the consequences.Prime Minister Blair said Saddam Hussein must cooperate with UN weapons inspectors, or be prepared to face military action. In an interview with Radio Monte Carlo's Arabic service Thursday, Mr. Blair said war could be avoided, if Iraq agreed to disarm."The situation is very clear. If Saddam Hussein agrees to disarm Iraq of all chemical, or biological or nuclear weapons programs and capability, then conflict would be avoided, and his duty is to cooperate fully with the inspectors to tell them exactly what material he has, to cooperate and comply with them in the eradication of that material."The prime minister said he wanted to speak directly to the Iraqi people to try to dispel* what he called myths that have arisen between Christians and Muslims. He said the dispute with Iraq is not about the West versus the East or about oil, but about weapons of mass destruction.Exercise ADirections: Listening to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about British Prime Minister's stand on the Iraqi issue.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and complete the following sentences.1.Prime Minister Blair warned that Saddam Hussein would suffer theconsequences unless he cooperated with the UN weapons inspectors.

The Security Council gave Iraq this last opportunity to disarm or face serious consequences, a euphemism* for possible war. The United States says it will make sure Iraq disarms, one way or another.But Mr. Blix* emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the courseof events in the region. He says they will visit suspected sites, conduct interviews with Iraqi scientists, ferret* out information and report back to the Security Council for its members to decide.As for US and British intelligence reports, which the Bush administration says proves that Iraq has banned weapons, Mr. Blix says he is not going into Iraq with pre-conceived ideas of what is there.The next test for Iraq will be December 8th, the deadline for Iraq to present a full accounting of its weapons programs. If Iraq presents, in effect, a blank sheet, Mr. Blix says, he would expect the United States to put its evidence on the table, so it can be verified.Iraq has persistently maintained it does not have the banned weapons. The latest such assertion came in a letter to the UN this week, in which Baghdad accepted the latest Security Council resolution setting out the parameters* for what experts say will be the most intrusive inspections in Iraq, so far.After the preliminary technical work starting Monday, Mr. Blix says, he expects the first wave of inspections to start November 27th. Two months later, he is required to report to the Security Council on Iraq's performance.Exercise ADirections: Listening to the news report and complete the summary.This news report is about Mr. Blix's weapons inspections in Iraq.Exercise BDirections: Listen to the news again and fill in the blanks with the missing words.Mr. Blix emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the course of events in the region.

听力教程第三册-3Unit 3 Reports on disasters & accidents Part ⅠGetting readyEvery year disasters and accidents kill thousands of people, injure millions more, and destroy buildings, land, and valuables. Some natural disasters and a few accidents are strange and unusual and little can be done to guard against them and they are nobody's fault;while other disasters, especially many accidents, can easily beprevented by following some simple rules.The following words will appear in this unit. Listen carefully and study the definitions.1. tornado：violent and destructive whirl wind2. mudslide：a slow, sticky mudflow down a gradual slope3. hijack：seize control forcibly of (an aircraft, bus, ship, etc.), in order to achieve certain aims or to go to a desired destination4. toll：the number lost, taken, etc.5. evacuate：remove (inhabitants, etc.) from (a place or area), as for protective purposes6. relief：any aid given in times of need, danger, or disaster7. calamity：disaster; any extreme misfortune bringing great loss and sorrow8. casualty：person killed or seriously injured in an accident9. concussion：damage to someone's brain caused by a blow or fall and which makes them lose consciousness or feel sick or confused10. breathalyze：ask someone to breathe into a special bag containing chemicals which indicate whether this person has drunk more alcohol than he/she is legally allowed to when driving11. tsunami：an extremely large wave caused by a violent movement of the earth under the sea12. epicenter：the place on the surface of the Earth that is right above the point where an earthquake begins inside the EarthB You are going to hear some brief news items. Supply the missing words.Audioscript:∙ A firebomb went off in a busy shopping area in east Belfast last night killing one policeman and injuring several bystanders.∙Florida authorities say more than 1,000 homes were destroyed by the tornadoes, which ripped through the central part of the state.∙ A dramatic development in the explosive situation on Green Isle:a car ferry from Northbridge to Greenport has been taken over bya group of extremists calling themselves the "Green ActionFront".∙Relief workers in South Korea have finally gotten a break from the severe weather that has hampered efforts to recover fromflooding. The flooding and mudslides last month have killed morethan 270 people and left thousands homeless.∙ A bank in Manchester was robbed at gunpoint yesterday as 5 men burst in at lunchtime wearing masks and carrying shotguns. Therobbers escaped with over10,000 pounds.∙Florida was hit yesterday afternoon by a hurricane of up to 100 miles an hour.Twenty people are believed to be dead andover 100 injured.∙The Greek airliner that was hijacked and flown to Algeria on Tuesday is now on its way back to Athens.Part II Hurricanes and tornadoes Hurricanes and tornadoes are the two most violent and destructive storms on the earth. They can cause great damage to property and loss of life. Anyone who has been through a hurricane or a tornado is likely to remember the experience the rest of his life.A You are going to hear a news item. While listening for the first time, write down some key words in the notes column. After the second listening, answer the following questions. Audioscript:Large numbers of villages have been completely cut off. The official said the death toll could reach 2 000. The Indian army has been called in to help the relief effort. From Deli. Here is David Willis.The storm with winds of up to 75 miles an hour struck India's southeast coast, flattening homes, destroying crops and cutting transport links. Eyewitnesses reported tidal waves more than 12 feet high. The storm was followed by torrential rains, which swept away roads and railway lines, and flooded low-lying areas. More than 40 people are thought to have died when a ferry sank. But most of the deaths have been due to flooding, houses collapsing or electrocutions. More than 100 000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He's appealed to the federal government to treat the incident as a national calamity. David Willis. Listen to the following news item. While listening for the first time, take down some key words in the left-hand column. After the second listening, answer the following questions.Audioscript:Nine hours Greenwich Mean Time. The news read by Wendy Gordon. The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping : the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavyflooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport. Air traffic too has been affectted with flight delays at airports. Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in France announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are low because emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III Earthquakes Earthquakes do not occur in all parts of the world. They are confined to certain definite areas or belts. The most important belt is the rim of the Pacific Ocean. Since earthquakes are highly destructive and may cost many people's lives, it is quite necessary that the seismologist be able to predict when and where there is going to be an earthquake.A You are going to hear a news item about an earthquake. Write down every word as a dictation. It will be read three times. First reading, read from beginning to end. Second reading, read with pauses. Third reading, read without pauses again. Audioscript:Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started. Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters from the rubble. Electricity, gas and water supplies have also been seriously disrupted. Experts believe that the country will be hit by more quakes during the next 48 hours.B Listen to a news item carefully. While listening to it, write down some key words in the notes column.C Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the news item and fill in the missing information.Audioscript:It's eight o'clock on Monday the 24th of November. At least 400 people are feared to have died in a major earthquake which shook large areas of southern Italy last night. As rescue work continues in wide areas of southern Italy, it is becoming increasingly more likely that the present tollof 400 dead will rise much higher. The tremors were felt all over Italy, from the French border to Sicily, but the worst damage appears to be in small towns and villages, many of them very isolated, outside Naples. Naples itself has also been badly affected. In a little village about sixty miles east of the city, scores of people are thought to have died as the earthquake hit a village hospital and a local church as well as many private homes. It appears that there was an evening service going on in the church at the time.In Naples it was the old part of the city which was worst affected -- many buildings of eight or nine stories broke apart and collapsed as the earthquake hit at around 8 p.m. last night. A large proportion of inhabitants spent the night in the open in the streets or squares and as smaller tremors continue, more chaos has ensued as townspeople rush for the countryside, blocking roads and causing traffic jams. Telephone lines have been broken and electricity and water supplies are failing -- the fog and cold conditions are making rescue operations very difficult in some of the remoter parts of the south particularly where road conditions are not very good.Our own correspondent has been to the disaster area and sends us this report...Part IV more about topic: Safety nearSchoolsMany traffic accidents take place near schools causing severe damage to young boys and girls. School children are more vulnerable than adults. Their awareness of safety is weak. So auto-drivers should be extremely careful when driving past a school.A Listen to two people discussing a traffic accident near a school and answer the True or False questions.B There are several characters in this story. Put them in order according to who you think was the most responsible for Mark's accident. Discuss your answers in groups.Audioscript:A: Have you heard the news?B: No.A: There's been an accident up near the school.B: Oh dear.A: Yes, Mark Brown, Jackie Brown's kid -- you know who I mean, don't you?B: Yes, bit of a dreamer, always in a world of his own.A: That's right. Anyway, Mark's been knocked over by a car.B: Oh, is he badly hurt?A: Well, it could have been a lot worse. He's been taken to hospital with suspected concussion but no broken bones as far as I know. I expect they'll keep him in for a few days just to keep an eye on him.B: Well, how did it happen then?A: It seems that some fellow in a Jaguar ran him over as he was crossing the road outside the school.B: It's a terrible corner that one near the school. There's always such a lot of traffic. But wasn't there someone there to supervise the children crossing the road?A: Apparently not. It seems the lollipop lady was off sick and, to make matters worse, Mark's class teacher had let them out ten minutes early because he wasn't feeling well. Can you believe it?B: Well, that's very irresponsible.A: That's what I said.B: But what about Mark's mum? Wasn't she meant to be picking him up? A: In fact, it was his dad who was picking him up and he was late 'cause he'd been chatting with some of his mates.B: Typical!A: Isn't it just. Anyway, it's Mark's fault as much as anybody's.B: Why's that?A: Apparently, he just rushed across the road without looking to get to the ice-cream van and around the corner comes this Jaguar and -- bang! -- Mark's in hospital.B: Was the driver going too fast?A: Yes, late for an appointment, I'm told.B: Do you think he'll have to go to court?A: Oh, I'm sure he will. He was being breathalyzed by a policeman when I arrived.B: Mind you. That sort always gets off.A: Well, I'm not so sure it was his fault. Anyway, the lucky thing was there was a nurse walking past when it all happened and she was able to give Mark first aid treatment until the ambulance arrived. So that was a bit of luck, wasn't it?Part V Do you know ……？Mountain climbing is viewed by some as an extreme sport, while for others it is simply an exciting pastime that offers the challenge ofstrength, endurance, and sacrifice. It can be highly dangerous, even fatal, especially when the climber is out of his or her depth, or simply gets overwhelmed by weather, ice, or other dangers of the mountain. Inexperience, poor planning, and inadequate equipment can all contribute to injury or death, so knowing what to do right matters.A You are going to hear a news report about a mountain climbing accident. Fill in the missing information in the chart below according to time sequence.Audioscript:Good evening. Here is the news read by me, Alan Piper. A French climber was saved from almost certain death when she and her climbing companion used her mobile phone to call for help. Francoise Pilenko broke her ankle shortly after reaching the summit of K2, one of the most difficult climbs in the Himalayas. They were unable to signal to their colleagues waiting for them below because of appalling weather conditions. But Mrs. Pilenko had her mobile phone with her, and despite poor reception, was able to phone her husband, Maurice, back home in Paris, France. Once he had got over his surprise, Mr. Pilenko alerted the rescue authorities, who got both climbers off the mountain by helicopter. He is flying to Nepal to join his wife in hospital.Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but not all underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis -- an earthquake has to be over about magnitude 6.75 on the Richter scale for it to cause a tsunami. About 90 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean. Can tsunamis be detected before they hit land?B Now listen to an interview with an American tsunami expert. Answer the following questions with key words.Audioscript:Walter Dudley is a professor of oceanography and director of the Marine Center. He's also the author of a book about the Tsunami.Walter Dudley: First of all, there's the matter of monitoring earthquakes. And the Indian government is quite good at that. But when you have a large earthquake that occurs, if you know if it's big enough and where the epicenter is, if the epicenter's under water, then potentially it could have generated a tsunami, and the next thing then is to confirm whether tsunami waves have actually been generated. If you declare warnings every time there was an earthquake, you'd have system that would very quickly be ignored by the public because, fortunately, most earthquakes don't generate tsunamis.Robin Rupli: It's my understanding that an earthquake took place two or two and a half hours before the tsunami hit. Is that correct?Walter Dudley: Well, it depends on how far away people are from the earthquake. Those communities right near the earthquake would have been affected almost immediately. The tsunami in 1960 that came from Chile of course destroyed coastal communities in Chile immediately. It arrived in Hawaii 14 hours later and it hit the coast of Japan a full 24 hours later and still killed over a hundred people there. So it really depends on the distance from the earthquake. My understanding is that most of the hardest hit areas were about two hours away.Robin Rupli: What are some of the signs that the ordinary person could recognize?Walter Dudley:If you're at the coast and you see the water either, mysteriously for no apparent reason, withdrawing or coming in, then that's an indication that something unusual and potentially very deadly is about to occur. Also, if you're at the coast and you feel an earthquake or were to witness a landslide, those are things that can also, you know, would be an indicator that there is tsunami potential there.Robin Rupli: Walter Dudley, thank you so much.Walter Dudley: It's been a pleasure talking with you, Robin.Robin Rupli: Walter Dudley is Professor of Oceanography and Director of the Marine Center in Hilo, Hawaii. This is Robin Rupli.Part VII Watch and enjoyTwister Is a 1996 American disaster drama film about Dr. Jo Harding, a meteorologist, and her team of storm chasers who try to perfect a data-gathering instrument, designed to be released into the funnel of a tornado. In this part of the film, a tornado attacks Wakita where Jo's aunt Meg lives, devastating the whole town. After watching it, briefly answer the questions below.Videoscript:Jo: Could you tell which way it's headed?Dustin: It's uh ... it's banking northeast. Uh ... It looks to hit Wakita head-on.Jo: I'm going. I'm going. Let's go. It's Meg. Let's go.Dustin: We're going!Jo: Get me a route around the storm.Alan: Robert! Go!Bill: Wait!Jo: Where's the phone?Rabbit: The lines are down, Jo. I already tried.Jo: I'm going.Bill: Damn it. Hang on. I'll drive.Rabbit: Hey, Jo, look, we can jump on the 38 exchange and cross Highway 132.Bill: Honey, it's Meg. I got to go.Melissa: I'm going back.Bill: Good. Good. You'll be safe at the motel. I'll see you in the morning. Melissa: I won't be there.Bill: What? Why? What are you saying?Melissa: I'm saying goodbye.Bill: No.Melissa: You know what? I ... I can't compete with this. I don't even know where to start.Bill: Why, don't do this now, please. Please.Melissa: Sooner or later it would have ended. We both know that. The funny thing is ... I'm not that upset. What does that mean?Brian/Alan/Tim: We can do it! Come on! Let's move!Bill: I never meant for anything like this to happen.Melissa: Oh, Billy, I know. It's okay.Dustin: Bill, come on.Melissa: You go ahead. She needs you. I hope that Aunt Meg is okay. Bill: What about you?Melissa: Oh, don't worry about me. I know my way home. Rabbit: We can be to Wakita in about an hour.Dustin: Bill, come on.Bill: Oh, my God.Jo: They had no warning. Oh, my God.Bill: Jo, wait!Jo: Meg! Meg!Bill: Jo, wait!Jo: Meg!Bill: Careful! Careful! This house could go any second.Jo: Meg!Bill: Jo! Take a flashlight.Jo: Meg!Bill: This whole place is ready to go. Meg! Careful!Jo: Meg!Bill: Meg! Meg!Jo: Did you hear that?Bill: What?Jo: I heard something.Bill: Easy. Careful. OK.Jo: Meg!Bill: Mose boy!Jo: Mose! She's down here. Meg, we're here! We're coming down. Bill: Meg! We got to get this off her. Hang on.Jo: Don't move! Don't move! Don't move!Bill: OK, ready?Jo: Watch your head. Watch your head.Bill: Go. Let's go.Jo: Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Are you okay?Meg: Oh, I'm all right. I'm fine.Bill: Get ducked!Jo: Oh, God.Bill: We got to hurry.Jo: Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.Bill: Can you walk?Meg: I'm fine.Bill: Watch out!Dustin: Meg! Meg! Meg! Jo! Someone take my watch. Joey. Go, go, careful. Bill! Meg! Bill!Jo: We're okay! We're coming out!Bill: Get an ambulance over here!Dustin: Get an ambulance! Move it! Now! Go!Alan: All right.Meg: Oh, hi! Okay!Dustin: How about some steak and eggs?Meg: How nice you all came over! Okay! Bill, grab Mose for me! I think he's little shaken up.Bill: Don't worry, I'll get him! Mose!Jo: Is she okay? Ambulance man: We'll probably keep her overnight, just to be safe.Meg: Overnight? Forget it. I'm all right.Jo: You're going to the hospital.Bill: It's okay.Meg: Okay, I'll go, but I'm going to drive myself. Alan: Honey, your car is in a tree around the corner. Meg: Oh!Bill: It's okay. It's okay.Rabbit: It's okay, Meg.。

Listen carefully and write down the environmental issues mentioned in the speech.burning of the forests/tree removal (deforestation)/reduction of the world's rain forestsAudioscript:The Amazon forests are disappearing because of increased burning and tree removal. In September, satellite pictures showed more than 20 000 fires burning in the Amazon. Experts say most of these fires were set by farmers. The farmers were attempting to clear land to grow crops. The World Wildlife Fund says another serious problem is that too many trees in the Amazon rain forest are being cut down. World Wildlife Fund says the fires show the need for urgent international action to protect the world's rain forests. The group warns that without such action some forests could be lost forever. Nowadays energy is too expensive to waste. It costs the country, and you, too much. What have you done to conserve existing energy resources? Here are some tips to help you slim yourwaste — save energy. Always remember that energy sense is common sense.C Now listen to some simple tips to help you save energy.Complete the dos and don'ts.Audioscript:● Don't attempt to iron everything. Rough-dry your towels and nylon things. Trust the thermostat on your iron — don't turn it up too high.● Don't leave the kettle to boil away. And don't fill it to the brim for only a cup of tea!● Cut out unnecessary lighting. Every little helps.● Save it on he ating. Do without a wall-fire if you can.● Defrost the fridge regularly. Ice build-up wastes fuel. Don't put hot food in either — if you do, the fridge has to work overtime.● It makes energy sense to wait until you've a full load before using your washing machine.● Cook a complete meal in the oven and save it on the rings and grill. Roast chicken, veg, and baked sweet to follow?It all adds up. The more energy you save, the more money you save. That's good housekeeping!When we listen to the weather forecasts, we often come across some terms related with the weather. For example, what is a cyclone? What is a hurricane? Are they the same? Here is the explanation.D Listen to the explanation about different weather terms.Complete the information in the chart.Audioscript:Major ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.Part II The Earth at Risk (I) chopped down：砍倒nutrients：养分，养料instantly：立即，马上recycled：回收利用clear-cut：砍光soil：土壤dries up：（晒）干washes the soil away：把土壤冲走ｄｏｃｕｍｅｎｔaries：纪录片expand：扩展continent：大陆at risk：有危险stabilize：（使）稳定impact：冲击，撞击;影响at an alarming rate：以惊人的速度blow away：吹掉the Sahara Desert：撒哈拉沙漠（非洲北部）unproductive：不毛的;没有产物的cut down：砍伐consequently：所以，因此available：可获得的Mali：马里grasslands：草原intensive：集约的；加强的agriculture：农业intensive agriculture：集约农业region：地区tropical：热带ranches：大牧场cattle：牛，牲口;畜生be raised：饲养export：出口tinned meat：罐头肉Brazil：巴西the size of Britain and France combined：大小是英法两国合起来jungle：丛林an iron ore mine：铁矿hardwood：硬木luxury furniture：豪华家具domestic animals：家畜firewood：柴火;劈柴vicious circle：恶性循环make way for：让路convert：（使）转变plant species：植物物种rare plant：珍稀植物rainfall：降雨extinct：灭绝的;绝种的carbon dioxide：二氧化碳oxygen：氧century：世纪interview：采访Do you know what happens to a rain forest when the trees are chopped down? About 80% of the rain forests nutrients come from trees and plants. That leaves 20% of the nutrients in the soil. The nutrients from the leaves that fall are instantly recycled back into the plants and trees. When a rain forest is clear-cut, conditions change very quickly. The soil dries up in the sun. When it rains, it washes the soil away.A Listen to the first part of an interview. Note down the key words in the notes column. Then answer the questions. Questions:1. What is the vicious circle mentioned by Brian Cowles?More people ——>. more firewood ——> fewer trees{ More domestic animals —> more plants —> fewer available plants} —>more desert —> move south —>desert expanding south —> no grass2. Why is the rain so important to soil?Growing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil just blows away. But if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow.3. What are some of the reasons that tropical forests are being cut down?People try to grow food to support themselves or to create ranches where cattle can be raised, or to get hardwood for export, or to make way for mines.Audioscript:I — Interviewer B — Brian CowlesI:Brian Cowles is the producer of a new series of ｄｏｃｕｍｅｎｔaries called "The Earth at Risk" which can be seen onChannel 4 later this month. Each program deals with a different continent, doesn't it, Brian?B:That's right. We went to America, both North and South and then we went over to Africa and Southeast Asia.I: And what did you find in each of these continents?B:Starting with Africa, our film shows the impact of the population on the environment. Generally speaking, this has caused theSahara Desert to expand. It's a bit of a vicious circle we find.People cut down trees for firewood and their domestic animals eat all the available plants — and so consequently they have to move south as the Sahara Desert expands further south. I mean, soon the whole of Mali will become a desert. And in EastAfrica: here the grasslands are supporting too many animalsand the result is, of course, there's no grass — nothing for the animals to eat.I: I see. And the next film deals with North America?B:That's right. In the USA, as you know, intensive agriculture requires a plentiful supply of rain for these crops to grow, Imean if there isn't enough rain the crops don't grow. Andgrowing crops stabilize soil, without them the top soil justblows away. This is also true for any region that is intenselyfarmed — most of Europe, for example.I: And what did you find in South America?B:In South America (as in Central Africa and Southern Asia) tropical forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. This is done so that people can support themselves by growing food or to create ranches where cattle can be raised to be exported toEurope or America as tinned meat. The problem is that the soil is so poor that only a couple of harvests are possible before this very thin soil becomes exhausted. And it can't be fed withfertilizers like agricultural land in Europe.For example, in Brazil in 1982 an area of jungle the size ofBritain and France combined was destroyed to make way for an iron ore mine. Huge numbers of trees are being cut down forexport as hardwood to Japan, Europe, USA to make things like luxury furniture. These forests can't be replaced — the forestsoil is thin and unproductive and in just a few years, a junglehas become a waste land. Tropical forests contain rare plants(which we can use for medicines, for example) and animals —one animal or plant species becomes extinct every half hour.These forest trees also have worldwide effects. You know, they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The consequence ofdestroying forests is not only that the climate of that regionchanges (because there is less rainfall) but this change affects the whole world. I mean, over half the world's rain forest has been cut down this century (20th century).B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the first part of the interview.

Note down the key words in the notes column. Then answer the questions. Questions:1. Why is some flooding man-made?Trees would hold rainfall in their roots. When forests in the higher up-river have been destroyed by men, all the rain that falls in the monsoon season flows straight into the river and starts the flooding.2. What does Brian imply when he says the national governments have to be forward-looking?He implies that some national governments just consider the results of their policies in the near future, or just think as far ahead as the next election.Audioscript:I — Interviewer B — Brian CowlesI:So, Brian, would you agree that what we generally think of as natural disasters are in fact man-made?B:Yes, by and large. I mean, obviously not hurricanes or earthquakes, but take flooding, for example. Practically every year, the whole of Bangladesh is flooded and this is gettingworse. You know, the cause is that forests have been cut down up in Nepal and India, I mean, higher up—river in theHimalayas. Trees would hold rainfall in their roots, but ifthey've been cut down all the rain that falls in the monsoonseason flows straight into the river Ganges and floods thewhole country. The reason for flooding in Sudan is the same —the forests higher up the Blue Nile in Ethiopia have beendestroyed too.I:Well, this all sounds terribly depressing. What is to be done? I mean, can anything be done, in fact?B:Yes, of course it can. First, the national governments have to be forward-looking and consider the results of their policies in ten or twenty years, not just think as far ahead as the next election.Somehow, all the countries in the world have to work together on an international basis. Secondly, the population has to becontrolled in some way: there are too many people trying tolive off too little land. Thirdly, we don't need tropicalhardwood to make our furniture — it's a luxury people in the West must do without. Softwoods are just as good, lessexpensive and can be produced on environment-friendly "tree farms", where trees are replaced at the same rate that they are cut down.I:And, presumably, education is important as well. People must be educated to realize the consequences of their actions.B:Yes, of course.I: Well, thank you, Brian.Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the second part of the interview.

It matters because it changes a lot of things to do with our everyday life. We can also say because the Earth is warming up we could simply not have enough to eat.

Time to take actionAudioscript:The world is warming up. We know this because average temperatures are the highest since scientists started measuring them600 years ago. The increase is about 0.2 °C every year. This may seem very slight, but we know that slight changes in temperature can have a big effect on other things. Most scientists now believe this global warming is due to human activity.Jeff Jenkins is head of Britain's Climate Prediction Center. He explains how global warming can happen."Sunlight strikes the earth and warms it up. At the same time heat leaves the earth, but part of that is trapped by carbon dioxide and other gases in the earth's atmosphere. That has been happening ever since the earth was formed. But the fear is that increasing amounts of carbon dioxide produced by industrial processes and transport and so on will lead to a greater warming of the earth's surface. So that's the global warming that people are concerned about."People are most concerned about the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are oil, coal, wood and so on. When these burn, they produce the gas carbon dioxide. Many scientists agree that an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide and some of the gases in the atmosphere will increase the amount of warming. Computers are being used to predict what this may mean. They showed that there could be great changes in rainfall and the rise in the sea level as ice caps in thenorth and south poles melt. This could have a serious effect on agriculture according to Prof. Martin Perry of University College in London. He says it could become more difficult to grow food in the tropics at lower latitudes nearer to the equator."The most clear pattern emerging is the possibility of reduced potential production in lower latitude regions, and most generally speaking, increased potential in higher latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm, to put it extremely simply, and plants there are quite near their limits of heat and drought stress. An increase in temperature or reduction in moisture would place limits on crop growth."Woman:Global warming could reduce food production in lower latitude regions. Lower latitude regions are already warm.Global warming could put more stress on plants and placelimits on crop growth.Food production is only one area that could be affected. There could also be health and social problems. Prof. Antony McMichael of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine believes that some rural areas are already suffering. And the insects and bacteria could spread disease more easily."Already a number of rural populations around the world are suffering from the decline of agricultural systems. Climatic change would add to this. And we would expect that it would accelerate the flood of environmental refugees around the world. But it includes not just the food production systems, but the patterns of distribution of the insects and infective agents around the world. It includes likely effects on patterns of heat-related food poisoning, water contamination and diarrhea diseases, lots of things like this that would respond very sensitively to changes in climate."Woman:Global warming could affect the distribution of insects.Global warming could change patterns of heat-related foodpoisoning.Many countries now agree that something must be done to reduce the danger of global warming. But a worldwide agreement on lowering the production of carbon dioxide has been difficult to reach. This is because many economies depend on fossil fuels like oil. Scientists believe it's now the politicians in every region of the world who need to take action.Part V Do you know ……？composed of：组成broad-leaved trees：阔叶树tropical regions：热带awareness：知道diminish：消失Indonesia：印尼humid：潮湿的variation：变化，变动see ... as：看作hierarchy：分层，层次;等级制度;统治集团as far as：只要;远到…;据…;直到…为止campaigning organization：活动的组织（者）in different ways：不同方式in different types：不同型号make changes：变更a critical period：养分阶段in terms of：依据；按照；在…方面；以…措词depend on：依靠flexibility：柔韧性，机动性，灵活性;伸缩性;可塑度;柔度and so on：等等write off：流利地写下;损失掉;毁掉; 结束掉priority：优先，优先权;（时间，序上的）先，前at international level：国际水平livelihood：生活，生计;谋生之道;营生prime：最好的;首要的;最初的;基本的watersheds：流域;分水岭( watershed的名词复数);分水线;转折点the biological richness：生物多样性a genetic treasure chest：遗传的宝藏climatic patterns：气候型tribal people：部落，部族，土著民Rain forests are generally composed of tall, broad-leaved trees and usually found in wet tropical regions around the equator. Despite increased awareness of the rainforests' importance during the late 20th century, they continue to diminish. Rainforests grow mainly in South and Central America, West and Central Africa, Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia, and tropical Australia, where the climate is relatively humid with no marked seasonal variation.Listen to the interview.

But I think it has to be said that as far as wewe're concerned, as a campaigning organization, it really is the rain forest that we are concentrating on most. If we don't take action on that issue within the next five years, thenenvironmental pressure groups won't have anything to do in ten years' time, because there won't be any rain forests, really, for them to campaign about. So this is a critical period for the rain forests, the next five years, and there is enough flexibility in the system to allow us to hope that we're going to be able to make some changes during that time. So that's why we've made it our priority.A:What's so important about the rain forests, then? Er, what's, what's the difference between having them or not having them?Isn't it just, you know, basically either there are a lot of treesthere or there aren't a lot of trees there?B:Uhh ... well that's what some people would like to think.

Fill in the blanks.Audioscript:1. IUCN -- International Union for the Conservation of Nature, is the organization established by the United Nations to promote the conservation of wildlife and habitats as part of the national policies of member states.2. CITES -- Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. is an international agreement under the auspices of the IUCN with the aim of regulating trade in endangered species of animals and plants. The agreement came into force in 1975 and by 1991 had been signed by 110 states. It prohibits any trade in a category of 8,000 highly endangered species and controls trade in a further 30,000 species.3. UNEP -- United Nations Environmental Program, aims to provide leadershi p and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring information and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.4. WWF -- World Wide Fund for Nature (formerly World Wildlife Fund), is an international organization established in 1961 to raise funds for conservation by public appeal. Projects include conservation of particular species, for example, the tiger and giant panda. With almost five million supporters distributed throughoutfive continents, WWF has a global network active in over 90 countries. Its headquarters are in Gland, Switzerland.Biological diversity provides us with a variety of special "ecosystem services", such as clean water, a breathable atmosphere and natural climate control. However, many kinds of wild animals have been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is negligible. Animals like the great apes, the whales, seals, and marine turtles are under particular pressure.C Listen to the conversation. Match column A, which is alist of the names of some endangered animals, with column B, which gives the information about those endangeredanimals. Then anwser the questions.Column A1. Whales2. Seals3. Turtles4. Crocodiles5. 'Walruses (海象.) 2451.63Column Bbludgeoned to death for fur coatskilled to make handbags and shoeshunted for their ivoryhunted to extinctioneggs rolled off and slaughtered for meat and oilQuestions:1. What do people at the World Wildlife Fund work for according to the woman?They work to conserve natural areas that contain endangered wildlife.2. What are they doing in order to protect those endangered animals? They are campaigning to provide sea sanctuaries for some of these endangered species. Protected-nesting sites for turtles have been set up.3. Can you guess the meaning of "sea sanctuaries"?It refers to the places of safety in the sea where sea animals are protected and allowed to live freely.Audioscript:A: Hello, I'm calling on behalf of the World Wildlife Fund.B: The what?A: The World Wildlife Fund. If you've got a few minutes I'd like to tell you what that means.B: Oh, all right.A: We work to conserve natural areas that contain endangered wildlife. The seas, for example, have become polluted by the industrialized world; whales are being hunted to extinction;turtles are rolled off their eggs when they come ashore to breed or are slaughtered for their meat and oil...B: Oh.A: Crocodiles are killed to make handbags and shoes; walruses are hunted for their ivory.B: I see.A: Seals are bludgeoned to death to provide fur coats and the threat of extinction hangs over several species of whale, dolphin and porpoise.B: Really.A: We are now campaigning to provide sea sanctuaries for some of these endangered species.B: Very interesting.A: Aided by our campaign, protected nesting sites for turtles have already been set up.

While listening for the first time, add more key words in the notes column according to the following cues. While listening for the second time, supply the missing information.Event: Christmas bird countsTime: from Christmas to Jan. 3rdSponsored by: the National Audubon SocietyParticipants:Numbers:more than 40,000 volunteersBackground: from all 50 states of the U.S., every Canadianprovince, parts of Central and SouthAmerica', Bermuda, the West Indiesand Pacific islandsNumber of bird counts this year: more than 1 600 separate bird countsThe logistics of bird counts: Each individual count is in a 15 mile diameter circle around the exact center point.Origin of the National Audubon Society: It was named after an American artist John James Audubon, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society was founded in the late1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds.B Now try this: listen to a more authentic version of the report. Complete the summary of this year's Christmas bird counts.Christmas bird counts will start from Christmas to January 3rd., sponsored by the National Audubon Society. This year more than 40 000 volunteers from the U.S., Canada, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands will be outside counting birds. The counts are not only for experienced bird watchers but anyone that is interested or concerned as well.This year more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. Every individual count is in a 15 mile diameter circle around the exact center point. Bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on t he number of birds they actually see.The traditional Christmas bird count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.Audioscript:John James Audubon was an American artist in the early 1800s, who illustrated birds in their natural habitats. The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women's hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40 000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January3rd. Volunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count.Jeffrey LeBaron is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to Mr. LeBaron , more than 1 600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple."Each individual count is in a circle. It's a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it's always the exactly same area that's done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day."Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced bird watchers."Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird."C Now listen to what Mr. Lebaron says about the information concerning birds. Complete the outline.OutlineI. Total number of known species -- about 9 300II. HabitatA. Larger numbers living in the warmer climatese.g. more than 300 different species counted in PanamaB. far fewer species native to colder climatesIII.

Birds' populationA. some species -- decliningB. many types -- increasingAudioscript:Mr. LeBaron says there are about 9 300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it."Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans."National Audubon Society editor Jeffrey LeBaron calls the world's bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect. "People get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the er, the quality of life,um, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly."Jeffrey LeBaron says that while the National Audubon Society's annual Christmas bird counts show a decline in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part III Dolphin captivityin captivity：养在笼⼦（或池⼦，等）⾥；囚禁announcer：播⾳员thesis statements：⽂意，简述论⽂，论⽂主题Colorado Public Radio：科罗拉多州公共⼴播电台aquatic park：⽔上公园Denver：丹佛（美国科罗拉多州）ire：愤怒dolphin ：海豚instigate：教唆;煽动;激起a former navy dolphin trainer ：前海军海豚训练员Florida：佛罗⾥达州ranges：范围family-oriented：⾯向家庭的；群居的concrete tank：混凝⼟⽔箱，混凝⼟油罐，混凝⼟贮⽔池。

Part ID. warmer/ green house effect / sea levels/ climate zonesAs 1998 ends and people look forward to the last year of the century, the World Almanac spoke with experts about what comes next. Almanac editorial director says the experts believe the next century will bring lots of changes.Warm, of course, that our climate is going to continue getting warmer. That’s the subject, by the way, of another new article on the 1999 World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly what causes it, and what steps to be taken to, perhaps to alleviate global warmings. I’ve seen recently that 1998 is goin g to go down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that’s going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting the coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched.E. Cyclone: North or south of equator / Typhoon:/ Hurricane: Eastern PacificMajor ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean.

Eyewitnesses reported tidal waves more than 12 feet high. The storm was followed by torrential rains, which swept away roads and railway lines, and flooded low lying areas. More than 40 people are thought to have died when a ferry sank. But most of the deaths have been due to flooding, houses collapsing or electrocutions. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He’s appealed to the federal government to tr eat the incident as a national calamity.

The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping parts of Europe during the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall brought flooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport. Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in France announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are low because emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III. EarthquakesA. Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started.Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters from the rubble.
