The conversations will be spoken only ONCE.Conversation OneM: Hi, Cathy! Welcome back! How was your trip to Brazil?W: Oh, I loved every minute of it! Brazil is so different from any place I've ever been to, and there's so much to see there.M. Yeah? Well, how's it different?W: Well, you can find all sorts of street vendors in the cities. I went to some street markets where they sold really unusual things, like special powders that attract men.., or objects to cure snake bites. M: Wow!W: And in one city I went to, I got my fortune told on the street.M: Oh, yeah?W: Yeah! The fortune-tellers use shells to tell your fortune. They throw the shells on a cloth, and the way they land tells about your future.M. Huh! I've never heard of that before.W: Mmm, but my favorite street activity was eating! In Bahia, you can buy these round cakes made of bean flour and filled with hot spices. They're fried and they're delicious. [Hmm] They're a specialty there.M: Well, that sounds great. You know, I remember that when I went to France two years ago, I saw some pretty unusual things on the city streets, too.W: Really? Like what?M: Well, in Paris, you could watch all kinds of street performers. There were folk singers with guitars, classical musicians... [Oh, wow!-] Sometimes you could even see actors performing in plays.W. That sounds like a lot of fun!M: Oh, it is. You really see all sorts of things on the streets of Paris. In fact, you can even have your portrait painted right on the street. [-Wow!-] Yeah, the art students do them to practice drawing and painting.W: Did you have your portrait done there?M. Yeah, I did. In fact, I had it done twice!Conversation TwoM1: Hello, how can I help you today?M2: I would like to open a checking account.M1: Is this your first account with Far East National Bank?M2: Yes, it is. Excuse me, but do you mean I could have more than one?M1: Certainly. There are several different kinds of accounts. You could have a checking account as well as a savings account, or you can have one of our special accounts.M2: I think today I just want to start with a checking account.M1: OK. Well, we have several checking accounts. The Personal Checking account is very basic. There is a minimum balance of $500, but we don’t pay any interest.M1: Hmmm. What about the other accounts?M2: We also have a Money Market account. It has a minimum balance of $2500. We pay you interest each month on the balance. However, there is a service charge if the balance falls below $2500.M1: That sounds good. Are there any other differences?M2: Yes. With Personal Checking, you can issue as many checks as you want. But with the Money Market, you are limited to three checks per month.Section CDirections: In this section, you will listen to a talk about blog TWICE and fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear. Remember the words you need to fill in are ONE to THREE words.Blog, a blend of the term “web log”, is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other materials such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art, photographs, music, video and audio.Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.Section DDirections: In this section, you will listen to a health program from VOA. You will listen ONCE and do the exercises below, either filling in blanks or making choices.Here is a good reason to be hopeful about the future: it might help you stay alive.Findings from a new study were presented at a recent meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society. Researchers in the United States studied one hundred thousand women during an eight-year period, beginning in nineteen ninety-four. All of the women were fifty years of age or older. The study was part of the Women's Health Initiative organized by the National Institutes of Health.The women were asked questions that measured their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers attempted to identify each woman's personality eight years after gathering the information.The study found that hopeful individuals were fourteen percent less likely than other women to have died from any cause. The hopeful women were also thirty percent less likely to have died from heart disease after the eight years.Hilary Tindle from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.The researchers also gathered information about people's education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period.Some women who answered the questions were found to be cynically hostile, or highly untrusting of others. These women were sixteen percent more likely to die than the others. They also were twenty-three percent more likely to die of cancer.The study also found that women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes. They were also more likely not to exercise.Professor Tindle says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person's physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negativeemotions or distrust lead to bad health effects and shorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.Section EDirections: In 2005 Steve Jobs delivered a speech at Stanford University where he told three stories of his life. In this section, you will hear one of the stories. Listen to the speech ONCE, and decide whether the following statements are true or false. Please write T for true or F for false on the Answer Sheet.I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that singlecourse in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.。
