听力原文: Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole." This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a book keeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are "square pegs": they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one mason or another. As a result, they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.

Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and study of books in our field of interest.

There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their places in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering—these and many other riel& offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.

听力原文:In the Netherlands and Belgium children do not have their fun and presents on Chr

听力原文: In the Netherlands and Belgium children do not have their fun and presents on Christmas Day as we do. They go to church on Christmas Day, and they have their fun on St. Nicholas Day, which comes on December 6. The night before, they fix something to hold their gifts. Sometimes it is a well-polished shoe, sometimes a plate or a basket, and sometimes they hang up their stockings just as we do. St. Nicholas rides a gray horse or a white donkey and so the children leave water for the animal to drink and something for it to eat. They leave hay or oats or a carrot, and sometimes a piece of bread. In the morning, if they have been good, they find that St. Nicholas has left sweets and fruits and playthings for them. But if they have been bad they find only a rod or a switch.

听力原文:Ecology is the study of the interrelationship of living things to their environme

听力原文: Ecology is the study of the interrelationship of living things to their environment. This even includes the study of nonliving things. In recent years, ecology has become a source of great interest to many people who live in the United States and Canada. The interest has been increasing because some experts feel that we are destroying the land on which we live. They also feel that we can stop this destruction by being more careful.

Some of the environmental problems are caused by industry. Wastes pollute the waters. Gases and fumes poison the air. When air and water are polluted, then fish, birds, and other living cream die. Human life is also affected by industrial neglect. People become poisoned in many ways while working on and around unsafe plants and factories. Nuclear power plants have caused great controversy.

People also cause some of the problems. Cars that people drive pour fumes into the air we breathe. Garbage is sometimes dumped into streams that supply drinking water. Forest fires are often caused by careless campers. Beaches and city streets are littered with rubbish.

(30)

A.Living things.

B.Living things and nonliving things.

C.The environmental problems caused by industry and people.

D.The interrelationship of living things to their environment.

听力原文: When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all busy, it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evenings?" they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign language. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess(象棋)together.

Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost--no television! --so they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!

(33)

A.Because they are in a hurry.

B.Because they are strange.

C.Because they cannot watch TV.

D.Because they have other schedules.

听力原文:W: I think we ought to turn around and head back down the trail.

M: Tired, after just a few miles?

W: Not at all, but those are cumulonimbus clouds building up there.

M: So, I don't really care if it gets cloudy. The sun's been pretty strong.

W: Right, but those clouds mean a thunderstorm, lots of rain and sometimes even hail with those kinds of clouds.

M: That doesn't sound so great, but I thought that these cumulus were fair weather clouds.

W: You are thinking of cumulus clouds I bet. Those are definitely cumulonimbus.

M: How on earth did you ever learn all that, from a meteorological course?

W: I'm an English major, but growing up on a farm, you learn a lot about weather.

M: You convince me, let's turn back, and maybe on the way down, you can give a lesson on clouds.

W: A sure thing, but let's get going.

(23)

A.On a mountain trail.

B.In a classroom.
