【答案解析】[听力原文]
A: What do you do in your spare time? I mean what you often do for relaxation.
B: Well, mostly I will do some sports for a rest from my heavy work in the office.
A: You"re doing what most other people are doing for fun. What sports are you doing?
B: Jogging, swimming, playing badminton, table tennis, football and all other forms of sports that I could manage.
A: Eh, you seem to be quite an active sportsman. Actually nowadays the workload is very heavy for all of us and we all need a good rest after work. Sports, another form of hard work, has become even popular.
B: No doubt it will. They are popular because they are another form of labor—physical labor which requires people"s contribution of physical energy. We need physical exercises because most of our work is brainwork, so we sit in the chair all day like potatoes in the oven, and accumulate stress inside the body. Day after day, the accumulated stress will cause trouble in our body function—overweight, cancer, heart disease and so on.
A: It sounds so frightening. What most people know about the popularity of sports is that they could exercise our bodies and keep us in good shape. But the most important function of sports is its ability to reduce the chances of developing fatal diseases.
B: You are right But the benefits of sports don"t stop in a physical sense. They can also improve the functionality of our brain.
A: Yeah. With physical exercise, our brain could take in more oxygen to refresh itself. And during the process of movement, the heart"s function to pump blood will be more efficient. All this could make not only the mind but all parts of the body more active and energetic.
B: There"s another aspect of the advantages of sports—the spirits embodies in sports competition. Modern world is one with fierce competitions. Through sports competitions people could build up their ambition for being the best one.
A: I doubt if this could be referred to as an advantage at all.

【答案解析】[听力原文]
A: As a Chinese, I"m really proud of the progress we have made in the past few years. So many critical events have contributed to the promotion of our country"s status in the international community.
B: Me, too. The recent success of launching Shenzhou Ⅵ into space and its safe return is really an exciting moment for the whole nation.
A: We are having more say in the world. With the successful launch and return of Shenzhou Ⅴ and Ⅵ, China has become the third country to send a manned spaceship into space in the entire world human history.
B: If Armstrong"s first step on the moon represents the first step of our human race into space, Yang Liwei"s one-day-trip in space is a representation of the advancement of Chinese technology.
A: Besides its function as a representation of the effort we have contributed, this success could also greatly raise the morale of all the staff working in the area of aerospace and aeronautics.
B: Maybe the encouragement and confidence the Chinese people get from this success is the most important achievement for us.
A: Exactly. It is Yang Liwei, Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong"s safe return and the success of this mission that reminds us of the decades of hard work in aerospace and aeronautics. Before this I knew very little about the work and process of China"s space industry.
B: I"ve also learned a lot from various media. So many people have contributed their lives and energy to this success. What I appreciate them most is that before this space mission, they have been laboring for so many years without any complaints. As we all know research in this area requires an incessant and careful effort from generations" researchers who have sometimes just devoted their whole lives before witnessing the final success.
A: Actually this happens not only in the field of aerospace and aeronautics, but also in other research areas, such as math, chemistry, physics, etc. People working on them usually live a very monotonous and routine life day after day. Only a few of them could hit a breakthrough and establish fame during their lifetimes.
B: That"s true. But that"s also what has made the development of the world possible. Many of the developments in the world are a result of efforts from several generations. Actually the successful return of Shenzhou VI should be expressed in a different way—the importance of everyday and everyone"s work.
A: Especially we young people should value this message you provide. Many young people today just want to achieve something that could bring an immediate result or success. We should realize the importance the mechanism of science and technology.
B: Your words remind me of my dream, too. I also want to establish a successful career during my lifetime, enjoying fame and wealth if possible. But I"m not money-oriented; I just want to realize the value of my life with them.
A: There"s nothing wrong with your idea. I only want to suggest to the young people that they shouldn"t give up pursuit in research even if it doesn"t bring immediate rewards. They"d better stick to it if they have the talents. It"s a process of accumulation.
B: Well, I don"t think I have the talents to make a breakthrough in science. But it"s true that when many people give up their devotion to research for the sake of getting the immediate rewards in other areas, there will not be progress and development at all.

【答案解析】[听力原文]
A: Have you ever met someone, listened to him or her and thought, "That person has all the luck." They always seem to happen to be in the right place at the right time.
B: I know what you mean. But you know, when being interviewed, most of the successful people attribute their success to such factors as persistence, patience, optimism, flexibility, integrity, or things like that.
A: Really? Is there anyone who says his success is merely by luck?
B: No, every successful person being interviewed says they do not believe in luck.
A: How can that be? Don"t you think luck plays an important part in their success?
B: Then in the next breath, they"ll tell stories of incredible coincidences—meeting the fight person at the right time; finding financing by "chance"; stumbling onto information that opens doors and saves businesses... but they don"t believe in luck.
A: How strange? So being lucky seems to be a skill, just like any other skill. If you can learn this skill, and you practice it, you get better. You get more successful... people will say you"re "luckier".
B: Yes, from so many cases, we" learn that luck has little to do with the successes. What matters are the actions taken by the lucky persons and those they wisely chose to avoid. That"s why one successful person said, "It"s odd, but the luckier I become, the less I believe in luck."
A: So in other words, whether your ambitions are high or modest, you should never have to worry that your achievements could be yanked away from you by blind chance. You will learn to put unexpected "changes" to work for you. Make them your best friend, rather than an unexpected force that always catches you flatfooted and unprepared.
B: Besides luck, I think a wonderful sense of humor will help a lot. If you have a great sense of humor, you will win over anyone and any situation. People instinctively and automatically give you their approval, respect, admiration and support.
A: On my mind, knowledge is the key to our success. It gives us the power to govern ourselves, our households, and ultimately our communities. A nation, which forgets why it was founded, who it serves and what its responsibilities are, by embracing ignorance, is a nation destined to fail.
B: Yes, ignorance is not bliss. In these times of increasing technology and information superhighways, it is important to obtain secular knowledge.
A: Furthermore, there"s one more important thing—a good health. Your health, attitude and energy levels are important and will provide you with the ability to thrive in your busy life.
B: You"ve said it. One"s physical and mental wellness ultimately allows him to be successful.
A: In all, all that success requires is a strong vision, hard work, being passionate about goals, building relationships, constantly seeking to improve, self-discipline and taking smart risks. Beyond that, it"s simply luck.

【答案解析】[听力原文]
A: I haven"t seen you for a long time. What are you up to these days?
B: Oh, I am really busy recently. I accompanied my aunt to the International Higher Education Touring Exhibition. We also went to consult the China Overseas Study Service Center. You see, my aunt intended to send her daughter to study abroad, so I helped her handle relevant formalities.
A: You mean your little cousin? I remember she is still a junior school student.
B: She is, but my aunt thinks that it would be better if she can go abroad to study at an early age.
A: Yes, it is a popular trend to study abroad today. Tens of thousands of Chinese parents send their children abroad before they graduate from high school. You know, I am always wondering why an ever-increasing number of people will send their teenage children abroad to study.
B: Many parents have great ambitions for their children. Most of the students staying abroad will have good opportunities to master a foreign language. To speak two languages is a necessity now.
A: Unquestionably, all those parents who send their children abroad at a young age hope that their children can become useful people at an early date. However, I"m doubtful about how much studying abroad can contribute to a child"s growth into a useful person. Besides, it will cost the parents a large sum of money each year. The family will use up all their resources to support the child"s education.
B: The phenomenon of students going abroad at a younger age reflects to a certain degree the defects of China"s current school system and education mode. As we know, the competition in our national entrance examination for college is so fierce that a lot of students fail to get a chance to study further. The students who receive an advanced education abroad are more likely to fulfill their potential. On the other hand, it is impossible to imagine that China, which is undergoing reform and opening-up, has an isolationist policy on education. China should let young students obtain more understanding about the outside world and have the opportunity to accept a multi-cultural education, especially in the world"s most advanced science and technology fields.
A: Overseas study may save the trouble for the tough competition to go to college and fulfill the dream of a college education. But don"t you think they are too young to take care of themselves in daily life? As well, they do not have mature outlooks on the world or life. If they enter a brand new world which is greatly different in ideology and lifestyle, they are very likely to lose their direction in life.
B: It is not hard to imagine what will happen when a child studies alone in a foreign country. They wilt have to overcome language barrier and bear the spiritual ordeal of leaving their native land, and their lives overseas may be full of hardship. But from another point of view, they will learn to live on their own and value what they have while they, spoiled by their parents and grandparents, used to indulge themselves a lot at home. In my opinion, they will definitely gain something from this experience.
A: Anyhow, I have reservations about sending students abroad at a young age. I think elementary education in China is as good as in developed countries. There is no need for parents to be impatient. They can wait with ease until their children finish senior high school or have a few years of college education. Then the children can study at a regular university abroad after taking the necessary examinations. In this way, the students can have a clear position about their orientation of study, and because they may obtain scholarships, they can alleviate the financial burden of their families.
B: That"s a good idea. On the one hand, the students will benefit a lot with improved linguistic, academic and mental abilities. On the other hand, the society will reap the benefit, too, when those talents return to the homeland.
