听力原文：More than 40 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went of

听力原文： More than 40 years ago, John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago. For food, be traps wild animals, fishes in the rivers, and plants whatever he can. John lives in a cabin he made by hand, out of trees he chopped down with an ax. Though he has no relatives that he knows of, he does have a deer he raised from a fawn. The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food. Nobody lives within 50 miles of his cabin in the mountains, and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire 40 years. One day last year I hiked in to see how John lived, It was like going back in time. There were no roads, no stores, no noise, no pollution; not even a post office.

Most notable of all, there are no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world, without people. But there is a paradox in his story. John is an educated man. He has books and nobody knows how he got them. Mostly he reads about his world, the forest, the animals, the plants and the mountains. He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them. For him electricity is lightning, not light bulbs, refrigerators, televisions, or washing machines. John Williams is 85 years old and has not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that he has nothing to do with people, and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health, happiness, and solitude, I will not tell you where his kingdom lies. There is no room there for you or me.

(33)

A．A group of friends.

B．Nobody, he sleeps outside.

C．John Williams.

D．John and his family.

段落翻译： I clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I eventually learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a necessary part of growth. Life is filled with trial and error. In order to walk the path to success, you need to make some wrong turns along the way. What I learned, to use John C. Maxwell’s terminology, was to “fail forward”, to use each mistake to make myself better. One of the greatest problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated situations in their lives and label them as failures. Instead, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn’t look at an out that he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture. His perspective leads to perseverance. His perseverance brings longevity. And his longevity gives him opportunities for success.

听力原文： There are a lot of students who dislike studying history. The problem is not nec

essarily that the subject is boring, it is just hard to get excited about something when it is presented in a boring manner. I had a different experience though. My American history professor. Dr. Anais Ninn, was unforgettable. When Dr. Ninn described events they seemed to leap from the pages. It was partly because she made it sound like a live radio news report.

Dr. Ninn imitated John Adams, a well-known silversmith of the revolutionary period. John Adams helped to organize the colonists who were angry about the way the British seemed to control their lives through unfair taxes. Dr. Ninn imitated the way' John Adams had given his speeches and helped to plan the revolutionary activities. I can see her now with her hand raised above her head and shouting at the class. She told how Adams had come up with a plan in 1775 to use two lanterns as signals if the British were going to attack by sea. If the scout saw the lamps, he was supposed to jump on a horse and warn the rest of the Americans of the attack,

Professor Ninn described the battles to us in detail. The weapons they used at those times were primitive, but the effects were terrible. If a man was wounded then, he would probably die from the infection. As Professor Ninn described these battles, I felt as though history had come alive.

Why does the speaker think some students don't like history？

A．History teachers don't care.

B．Students are too lazy.

C．The professors don't make it interesting.

D．Students think history is not important.

I have no statistics on this, but conversation with friends and dozens of person-on-the-st

reet interviews I saw and heard last month convince me that a lot of Americans felt a sense of personal loss at the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. Their grief was palpable and clearly genuine. Yet I couldn't help wondering how many would have reacted this way to the death of a relative, a mother or father, sure. But what about uncle John, who lives across town; or Cousin Tara, who moved to another state; or even, Grandma, whom we see once or twice a year, from the other Side of the country？

For many of us, the concept of family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up careers wherever opportunity seems greatest. So instead of growing up in an extended family, with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins involved in our day-to-day lives, many of us are truly con- netted only to our parents and siblings. Many kids today knew little of the lives of relatives outside the nuclear family, and don't care deeply about them.

Whether we're aware of it or not, this estrangement creates a void. "People have an inherent need to feel connected, "says Joy Browne, a psychologist and talkshow host in the U.S. "And they'll do it in whatever ways are easiest for them. "When family members are distant, what could be easier than .forming a connection to celebrities--especially glamorous ,public-spirited ones like the Kennedys".

This sort of false intimacy isn't new, of course. People wept when Rudolph Valentime died in 1926 and when the Lindberghs lost their baby in 1932. It's natural and in most ways harmless to identify with the famous. But todays combination of busy lives, fragmented families' and saturation media coverage of celebrities means this is the only intimacy many of us experience outside our immediate family. And that's unhealthy, because these celebrity relationships are not two way.

For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. We'll never turn back the clock to keep families from scattering. But parents can help by telling their kids stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by keeping the relatives informed of the kids' latest activities and interests.

Technology can encourage more frequent, more casual contact. It's no chore to dash off an email to Granddad.

Better yet, take a vacation with members of your extended family--and not at anyone's home. A week or so of relaxed interaction can be a great way to turn up family ties. And when tragedy happens, there's no substitute for family. Because no matter how much we cry for the Kennedys, they can't be there to cry for US.

Thank you for today's program. Now let's listen to a song.

The author is _______.

A．talking on the phone

B．talking on the television

C．talking on the radio

D．talking on the platform

听力原文：M: Susan, I could really need your help this weekend.

W: What is it, John？ Another term paper？

M: No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt I' d look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday r m on duty at the library all day and can' t get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can meet for dinner later.

W: Sure. I don' t have any plans. What kind. of things does she like to do？

M: Actually I haven' t seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus, she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus.

W: Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That' s a possibility. Only I hope it doesn't now. They are predicting 68 inches for the weekend. Everything will be closed down then.

M: Well, how about, for the time being, I'll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out.

W: Sounds good. Meantime I'll keep Saturday open. We can touch base Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast.

M: I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won' t know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one.

W: No problem. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

What does John ask Susan to do？

A．Help with a term paper.

B．Go to a concert.

C．Take care of his cousin.

D．Arrange his cousin' s interview.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.

听力原文： An English couple has been allowed to divorce because the wife moved the furniture every day for 38 years of marriage, press reports said on Tuesday.

Pauline Turner, 62, rearranged the tables, chairs and sofas for every one of the 13,872 days of her marriage to John, also 62, the court at Middlesbrough in Cleveland heard.

The couple moved from the matrimonial home, a three bedroom semi-detached house in Thornaby-on-Tees in Cleveland, into a caravan six miles away with some of the furniture fixed to the floor, in the hope the obsession would cease.

Mrs. Turner did not change, however.

"It's unreasonable to move furniture every solitary day. I was sick and tired of life with Pauline," said John Turner, who moved out this year.

Pauline Turner, who still lives in the caravan, with its own neat garden, initially contested the divorce, but accepted in court on Monday that the marriage had irretrievably broken down.

"Moving furniture about was just something I did, always have done and I always will do. I suppose everybody has their little obsession, whatever," she said.

Judge Peter Bowers granted a "cross decree", meaning both parties won a divorce after hearing that John Turner, who makes bird tables for a hobby, had committed adultery since January.

Which of the following is not the reason for the English couple's divorce？

A．Mrs. Turner moved the furniture for 38 years.

B．Mr. Turner could not bear her.

C．Mr. Turner had committed adultery since January.

D．Mrs. Turner refused to stop the moving of furniture.
