听力题Alan: Come in! Sally: Hi Alan—I just wondered if you would like to come out for a coffee. Alan: Oh, hi, Sally. I was just writing a letter. Sally: Writing a letter! Is your phone out of order? Alan: No—well, not exactly a letter. Alex has applied for a job at children''s summer camp, and they''ve asked me for a character reference. Sally: Oh dear—you''re not going to tell them the truth, are you? Alan: What do you mean? Sally: Well, that he''s a big-headed show-off who never does a day''s work. Alan: Oh, come on, he''s not that bad—I mean, kids love him. He''s always entertaining his little brother''s friends with his magic tricks. Sally: Oh, yes, he''s great with children, but he''s big kid himself, isn''t he? Alan: Yes, I suppose he is a bit immature. Sally: And I hope they don''t expect him to work before four o''clock in the afternoon. You know what he''s like—he needs a bomb under him to get him up in the morning. Alan: Mm. Sally: Also, he hates taking orders from anybody. Do you remember that job he had last summer in a restaurant? He ended up throwing a bucket of water over the chef when she asked him to wash the kitchen floor. Alan: Oh no, don''t remind me. But he did run that restaurant single-handed when the chef and two of the waiters were off sick with food poisoning. Sally: That''s true. He''s good in a crisis. Now shall we go and get some coffee? Alan: All right. Alan: Come in! Sally: Hi Alan—I just wondered if you would like to come out for a coffee. Alan: Oh, hi, Sally. I was just writing a letter. Sally: Writing a letter!

听力题 The American Academy of Pediatrics recently advised parents to make sure children get an hour of physical activity each day to fight obesity. But you don''t have to force your kids to do timed races. That hour can be accumulated through games that you both enjoy. "For any individual child the key is to get them to do activities that are fun so they''ll be interested and want to do more of that activity," said Dr. Eric Small, a co-author of the policy statement. For example, walk your child to school or the bus stop by playing the classic game Follow the Leader. The leader can jump up on a curb, hop on one foot five times, or limbo under a tree branch. The game can get kids as young as 2 moving and help them learn to embrace an active lifestyle. Getting kids moving can even be as simple as getting them walking or bicycling. Set aside a time for the activity and set a goal of reaching a landmark or just cruising around the neighborhood for an hour. Take your child ice-skating or swimming or just running through the sprinkler, advises Marsha Smith, a physical education teacher. Take an older child golfing and walk the course instead of renting a cart. "At first, it''s an honor," Smith said. "Spending time with a parent or other caregiver motivates them." Having trouble getting things started? Kennedy suggests getting started by replacing something kids hate with physical activity. So do the dishes for the kids while they head outside for a bike ride, or let them stay up an hour later for a game of flashlight tag.

听力题W: Hello? M: Hi, May, this is Bill Johns

听力题 What kind of car will we be driving by the year 2010? It may be rather different from the type we know today. With the next decade, bringing greater change than the past 50 years, the people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate the pace of the car''s development. The vision is that of a machine with 3 wheels instead of 4, electrically-powered, environmentally clean and able to drive itself along intelligent roads, equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up the fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or stored in small quantities for travelling in the city. Instead of today''s seating arrangement, two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward, the 2010 car will have an interior with adults and children in a family circle. This view of future car is based on a much more sophisticated road system. Cars will be automatically controlled by a computer. All the drivers will have to do is to say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile. What kind of car will we be driving by the year 2010? It may be rather different from the type we know today.

听力题M: I just finished reading a book of short story by Hemlen Garlen called May Traveled Road. I really enjoy it. Have you read it? W: Yes, it was a required reading in the American literature course I took last year, even though it''s a fiction, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had on American frontier. I don''t think I would survive 19 century frontier life. M: Me neither. Remember that story among the car roads. Garlen gives a vivid description of Julie Peterson, that young immigrant girl. She had to work on her family farm. W: Ah ha. M: Well when Julie feels exhausted, and she is wishing she can escape from her hard labor, she looks over her father working in the next field. And she is inspired to continue her own work. W: I do remember that story. Garlen really captures the spirit of hard work that was so typical of immigrants and pioneers who settled the American Midwest. It''s difficult to image that nothing seems to discourage them for long. M: I wonder how Garlen learn so much about the Midwest. Was he from Boston? W: He lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wisconsin. He did grow up in Midwest. M: No wonder his description is so good, I''m going to take this book back to the library now and see what other Garlen''s works I can find.
