听力题 One of the most famous tourist attractions in the State of California is the giant redwood. This redwood might be described as "the tree with the moving foot" because it is not even a native Californian, believe it or not.
These trees, which are among the largest and oldest of all living things, moved to California from the Arctic. Long, long ago they grew in the Arctic, just as enormous and tall as they are today. But the warmer climate drew them southward and it took some seventy-five million years to complete the move.
Carried by birds, winds, and some strong-teethed animals, the seeds of the redwood traveled thousands of miles from what is now the northernmost tip of Alaska to California, their last stand. Only the hardest of seeds survived—a few that visited Europe soon died out. But those that made it to California put down roots, grew into luxuriant forests, and became camera subjects for the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit California''s giant redwood each year.

听力题 That''s how Shawn O''Neill looks back on the heart attack he experienced shortly after his 31st birthday.
"I thought I was in perfect health," Shawn says. "I was never sick. I woke up feeling good every morning."
Then on that fateful day in April 2002, he received a giant eye opener. He was working in his yard in Hixson and started having pain in his chest and arms. "I was pretty sure what it was, but I couldn''t believe it could be happening to me." The good news is that because Shawn recognized the symptoms and went immediately to Memorial North Park Hospital, he received the treatment he needed and the damage to his heart muscle was minimal.
"Advances in medicine make it possible for us to stop many heart attacks and keep people alive if they get to the hospital in time," says Dr. Kinsman Wright, medical director of Cardiac Services at Memorial. "We have technology to pinpoint blockage in the cardiac arteries and several options to open the vessels. And lifestyle changes and medications are helping people reduce their risk factors."
But Dr. Wright doesn''t see any decrease in heart disease. "With people living longer, we''re seeing different types of heart disease. We need to keep studying and fighting it on all fronts."

听力题 Today I would like to continue our discussion of energy sources. Scientists believe a great energy source of the future can be found on the world''s oceans. There are several systems being studied which use power from the waves, tides and other sources. Since most of these projects are still in the experimental stage, they are not cheap, but the cost is expected to go down in the future.
These systems seem to cause little or no negative impact on the environment, unlike conventional sources such as oil and coal, and there is no lack of seawater in the world. One example of a new energy source using the world''s oceans is tidal power, the rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water passing through the turbines of a dam built along the coast can be used to produce electricity.
However, the range of tides necessary for an economically worthwhile system is found in only a few coastal areas of the world, such as in France and in the United States. Experts believe that tidal energy causes little damage, but the long range effect may be to slow down the rotation of the earth very slightly.
