Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

听力原文: Crime is a serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is [29] juvenile delinquency—that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years, juvenile delinquency has been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crime, stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.
These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and resent the adult world. [30] They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.
There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. [30] In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everybody knows everyone else.
Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow up in. I feel that [31] the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.

Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced. to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or elder relative, the children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.
The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way cart young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives —childhood.
The conditions under which young children work______ .
A.are similar to those a hundred years ago
B.are even worse than those a hundred years ago
C.have improved since a hundred years ago
D.are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago
Study the following abbreviated essay outline. Then choose the most appropriate concluding paragraph. When computing technology is making an ever-increasing impact on many aspects of the production and life of mankind, computers have been widely applied in almost every field. However, the question of whether there are more benefits than drawbacks for young children using a computer everyday has triggered a wide debate. As far as I am concerned, I tend to believe that the advantages outweigh disadvantages for the following reasons. For one thing, in modern society, computer is used in many different fields such as health, education and business. It has become an indispensable part in our life… For another thing, some computer knowledge is required for the job, so great importance should be attached to it. Some people consider that it is not good for children to use computer everyday, because sitting in front of a screen for too long can damage both the eyes and the physical posture of young children. But we can cope with this problem by limiting the time of using computers and giving proper supervision for them… ...
A、Although, to some extent, computers have brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, especially for those businessmen, for those youngsters, typically those teenagers who are not rational enough to control themselves, computers should not be allowed to intrude into their daily life.
B、All in all, everything has two sides. Whether computers will do us good or harm all depend on how we use them.
C、In conclusion, I strongly believe that using computer everyday brings more benefits than drawbacks to young children. The most important aspect depends on that the young children need proper guidance.
D、To sum up, computers benefit young children a lot and also bring about some negative influence on children.
听力原文: Perth is actually a very young city which sits on the north bank of the Swan River. I'm sure many of you have already seen it. Less than 200 years ago the entire city center was an undeveloped wetland. Perth was founded by the British as the Swan River settlement in 1829, although the Dutch had visited other parts of the state much earlier. It grew quite slowly in the beginning, mostly because it was so isolated. There were constant problems with communications, and labor was always in short supply. Then in the 1890s gold was discovered in Western Australia and Perth boomed.
Anyway, there are now around 1.4 million people living in Perth and its suburbs. The city itself has sprawled in all directions and it will take you months to see it all. It stretches from the Darling Ranges—chain of hills—n the east, to the Indian Ocean in the West. It has swallowed Perth's southern sister city, Fremantle and almost reaches the small township of Yanchep in the north.
