听力题M: Did you see that TV program last night about the sky-diver whose parachutes didn''t open after he had jumped from his plane? W: No, I didn''t. Did he die? M: No. It''s really unbelievable how he could have survived such a free fall, much less live to tell about it on television! W: What happened? M: Neither of his chutes opened as he dropped to the ground. When they found him, they thought he was dead. Doctors said he''d never walk again, but he proved them wrong. W: How long was he recovering? M: He spent eighteen months in the hospital while his bones were mending, most of which were broken. He was no sooner discharged than he went back and jumped out of a plane again. W: Gee, some people sure do crazy things!

听力题 From this lookout we enjoy one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco. As you can see, the city rests on a series, of hills varying in altitude from sea level to nine hundred and thirty-eight feet. The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776. For thirteen years the village had fewer than one hundred inhabitants. But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the population grew to ten thousand. The same year the name was changed from Yerba Buea to San Francisco. By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869, the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost three million. It is the financial center of the west, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic. The port of San Francisco which is almost eighteen miles long with fort-two piers, handles between five and six million tons of cargo annually. And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of thirty-two million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges in the world.

听力题 Here is an announcement on a university radio station. The Central State University School of Engineering invites you to go fly a kite — that is, once you''ve designed it. This weekend, the Third Annual Kite Competition will take place. Building a kite poses a number of engineering problems. And we want to see how you solve them. As in the two previous years, there are lots of prizes. There will be prizes for the kite with the largest surface area and for the kite with the smallest; for the kite that can lift the heaviest load and for the kite made from the most unusual material; there''s even one for the funniest kite. Of course, all winning kites must be working models; you must be able to fly them at least 100 feet in the air. You don''t have to be an engineering student to compete — all interested students at Central State are invited to enter. Preliminary events take place on Saturday in the Commons south of the Engineering Tower. Final events will be held at the stadium on Sunday afternoon.

听力题 A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business and fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial pages to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But the immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: What each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day''s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

听力题 There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say "Ketunnel" but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he lost his temper. "You stupid bird! Why can''t you learn to say that One word? Say ''Ketunnel'' or I''ll kill you!" But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say ''Ketunnel'' or I''ll kill you!" But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens!" In the chicken house, there were four old chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday''s dinner. The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens, the parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say ''Ketunnel'' or I''ll kill you!"
