Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends.

As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称).

Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.

"What's wrong with this girl？" He said, "Why doesn't she hurry up？" He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first.

He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset？ There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can't you give me a hand with my luggage？"

The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval.

n about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic "'finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria- or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark. Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools. Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. Most people-including Maria's father-believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them. Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school, she had to win her father's approval. She finally did, with her mother's help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family.Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her. In 1883, at age thirteen, Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient. {TS}Maria wanted to attend a

听力原文：Man: Hello 'Paragliders' Paradise'. How can l help you？

Maria: Oh hi. I'm interested in doing a course in paragliding.

Man: Which course are you interested in？

Maria: Well, I'm not sure. What's available？

Man: Well ... we've got the introductory course which lasts for two days.

Maria: OK.

Man: Or there's the 4-day beginners' course which is what most people do first. I'd tend to recommend that one. And there's also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.

Maria: We might try the beginner's course. What sort of prices are we looking at？

Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner's course, which is probably what you'd be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it's just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄ 430.

Maria: Right.

Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.

Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg？

Man: No, I'm afraid not - it's only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.

Maria: I see! And what's the best way to get to your place？ By public transport or could we come by bike？ We're pretty keen cyclists.

Man: It's difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we're a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I'll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What's your name？

Maria: Maria Gentle.

Man: And your address, Maria？

Maria: Well, I'm a student staying with a family in Newcastle.

Man: So it's care of ...

Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.

Man: Like the hamburgers!

Maria: Yes, exactly.

Man: McDonald ...

Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It's R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.

Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information？

Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It's 0249 that's for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.

Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you'll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying？

Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that's OK. Do you take Visa？

Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.

Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.

Maria: Hi, Pauline.

Pauline: Hi, Maria! What's that you're reading？

Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding？

Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff？

Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we'd have to take a few things along.

Pauline: Such as？

Maria: Well, it says here. 'Clothes: wear stout boots', so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and 'clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.' That's probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er... we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!

Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay？

Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it's only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That'd be fine, wouldn't it？ And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.

Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don't fancy a caravan.

Maria: No, I agree. But let's take a tent and pray for good weather.

Pauline: OK - let's do it. What about next weekend？

Maria: No, I can't - I'm going on a geo
