听力题 The university was asking students to select summer social topics for projects to undertake. Ding Ling proposed the idea of accessing the AIDS town, and university officials approved the project. After contacting officials at the institution, Ding Ling got on the train for her hometown with fellow student Zhou Wang on July 20. On July 21, when the two girls finished breakfast in a small restaurant after they had just arrived at the town, the keeper told Ding in a low voice that the man who ate breakfast beside her was an AIDS patient, which surprised the two. AIDS was all around them. AIDS patients in their hometown live just as anyone else does. They do not stay in any one centralized place to receive treatment. If they need help, they go to the medical institution just like any other patient world. There are no divorce cases in the town because of HIV infections, and local residents do not discriminate the HIV carriers, the two girls said. The students said their most unforgettable day was July 16, when they had the lunch with a female AIDS patient whose husband knew of her illness before they were married. But her husband still resolutely loved her and took on the responsibility of looking after his wife. After the pair returned to school, many friends urged them to go to the hospital to check whether they had been infected or not. They just smiled, declining to be checked. HIV can only be spread by sexual contact or blood-to -blood contact. The biggest wish for Ding is to see an 8-year-old child, Huan Huan, who was infected by her mother, during upcoming Spring Festival. She hopes to bring the little girl some clothes and food, and to take along a camera to record happy moments in the lives of AIDS patients.

听力题 Susan Anthony was born in Massachusetts in 1820 and died in Rochester, N.Y. in 1906. In 1850s, she saw many problems in her country and wanted to do something about them. One of these problems was that women did not have the right to vote in the United States. Susan Anthony and many others felt that women and men should have equal rights. In 1869 she helped start the National Women’s Association. This group worked hard to get women the right to vote in the United States. In 1869, the state of Wyoming gave women the right to vote. Some other states also allowed women to vote. But Susan Anthony and the National American Women’s Association wanted all women to have the right to vote. They worked to add this to the Constitution of the United States. Finally, in 1920, fourteen years after Susan Anthony’s death, an article was added to the Constitution. It gave all American women the right to vote. Susan Anthony was born in Massachusetts in 1820 and died in Rochester, N.Y. in 1906.

听力题 I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off. Then, when I felt better I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far away. I tried to telephone him during office hours, but he was busy. The receptionist said that Mr. Jordan would call me back, but he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan, and I called out to him. It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message, which said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing in San Francisco. I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan.

听力题 I will let you know that there''s a big difference between undergraduate and graduate school. Undergraduate school is very course-intensive. That''s all you do: go to classes and go to labs. In graduate school, you have a lot of free time. Much of your learning is self-initiated, and you''re typically taking a much lighter class load. This gives you more time for independent study and research. While you'' re in graduate school, you'' re going to have to develop yourself as a scientist. You do this by performing creative and thorough research and developing a reputation for being a good scientist. You''ll also be developing your speaking skills. You have to be comfortable in presenting your results and your research to very critical audiences. That''s very important. You also want to attend conferences where you can mingle with your peers and groups from other universities, because there will eventually be your colleagues at some point. Also, it''s important to attend seminars and colloquial that your university has. Not only does this keep you informed of what is the latest and greatest in your area, but also lets you hear about other unrelated areas as well. You can'' t be so focused; you have to have a broad base of knowledge. I will let you know that there''s a big difference between undergraduate and graduate school.

听力题M: Good afternoon, madam. How can I help you

听力题 Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on , as well as such details, important notwithstanding, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.
