W: Yes, it was a required reading in the American literature course I took last year, even though it's fic tion, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had on the American frontier. I don't think I would survive 19th 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, yeah!
M: Well, when Julie felt exhausted she was wishing she could escape from her hard labor, she looked over her father working in the next field. And she was 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 Mid west. It's difficult to imagine that nothing seems to discourage them for long.
M: I wonder how Garlen learned so much about the Midwest. Wasn't he from Boston?
W: He lived in Boston. In fact, he studied and taught in the Boston School of Oritory, but I think he was born in Lawcarbinlen, Wincosin. He did grow up in the Midwest.
M: No wonder his description is so good, I'm going to take this book back to the library now and what' other Garlen's works I can find.

There are many anecdotes about Jackson. Among them there is a humorous one:
After his wife died, Jackson lived alone and felt very lonely. He also began to worry greatly about his health. Several members of his family had died after suffering paralytic strokes, and Jackson was sure that he was going to die in the same way. He therefore lived in constant fear of having such a stroke.
One day at the home of some friends, he was playing chess with a young girl. Suddenly Jackson's hand dropped to his side and he seemed to become very weak. His face became pale. Several friends rushed to his side.
"At last it has come," said Jackson weakly. "I have had a stroke. My whole right side is paralyzed."
"How do you know?" someone asked.
"Because," Jackson answered, "in the past few minutes I have pinched my right leg several times, and there is absolutely no sensation in it."
"Oh! I beg your pardon, Sir," said the young woman with whom he had been playing. "But that was my leg you were pinching!"

W: Professor Donner, are you giving your Advanced Geology course next semester?
M: Yes, I'm planning on it.
W: Could I be enrolled in it? I know it's a graduate course and I'm only a junior, but ...
M: Aren't you a bit young? I've allowed qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up.
W: I know. But the geology of the American West is my favorite interest and I've done a lot of reading in the field. Last semester I took Professor Burman's course and I didn't find it really challenging enough.
M: I see. You certainly aren't one of those students who are out for easy grades.
W: I should say not. I really want to learn something.
M: Well, I'll speak to Professor Burman. If he thinks you're ready, I'll let you enroll.

听力原文:W: I heard that your family arrived yesterday, didn't they?
M: Yes, they did.
W: That's good! Dr. Morrison, your family is now in China with you. You won't miss them, then. To talk about the family, I want to ask you some questions about American families. Er. . . Do you most Americans live in "small families" or "big families"?
M: In the United States, most people normally choose to live in "small families", but we call them "nuclear families".
W: What is the average size of a nuclear family?
M: Well, it depends on the number of children, because the nuclear family consists of a husband, a wife and children. However, if there are no children, then the husband and wife are the nuclear family. Of course, there may be only one parent due to a death, separation or divorce. In this ease, the nuclear family is the single parent and children.
W: Are there any big families in the United States?
M: Oh, you mean the extended family. No, not many. Most Americans, both the elderly and the young couples prefer to live in their own homes.
W: Since most Americans live in nuclear families rather than in extended families, the majority of the elderly do not see their children and their relatives, do they?
M: Wall, people often make such assumptions, but that is not the case according to recent sociological research.
W: Oh, what's that?
M: The recent research shows that more elderly people in the United States live within ten minutes of their children by car than in Denmark, and over 78 percent of the elderly have seen their children within a week.
W: Now I've got a general idea about American family structure. Thank you.
M: You're welcome.
