Part A Reading Aloud

The modern city is a new kind of nature, man-made nature. It reflects back an image of ourselves through the things we have designed. But for the designer, the world is not enough. Plans for a new, improved version are always on the drawing board. At the Home Exhibition in London, people come and go, dreaming about new labor-saving devices, new possibilities, new designs for living. Not everything here is a design classic, but everything here has been designed to meet a need, fulfill a desire, or simply to raise a cheer at the breakfast table. (61”)

W: Hi, Tom! Where have you been during the holiday?

M: Oh, I spent fifteen days with my family back in my hometown.

W: That must be very relaxing. You were in your comfort zone again.

M: You are right. Staying with family and relatives is always quite comfortable, especially when you have a big family.

W: Oh… So you’ve grown up in a big family? How many brothers and sisters do you have?

M: I have three brothers and four sisters.

三问部分：

Question 1: What was it like growing up in a big family?/ How did you like growing up in a big family?/ What was growing up in a big family like?

Answer 1: I love having such a big family. There were many sweet memories about those years growing up with my brothers and sisters. We played games together and went to school together and it was our family tradition to give everybody a surprise on his or her birthday. But at times, it could be a little crowded as we all live together in a small house when we were young.

Question 2: What was the most difficult part?/ What was the hardest part?/ What was the toughest part?/ What was the most difficult thing?/ What was the hardest thing?/ What was the toughest thing?

Question 3: Are younger children luckier than the elder children?/ Are younger children more fortunate than the elder children?

Answer 3: Yes. I think for the most part, the younger ones are luckier, because they have more people to look up to and tell them right from wrong, which is a great help. As for the elder children, they have to help support the family and look after the younger ones. So usually, they have more responsibilities.

The Goose Thief

Tom went to primary school in the countryside. Near his classroom, there was a small pond where two geese were raised. Students were all fond of them.

One day, when Tom passed the school kitchen, he heard the cooks talking about killing the geese for the teacher’s Christmas dinner. Tom got angry and said to himself, “I won’t let them be eaten.” That night, Tom worked out a plan. He was going to hide them somewhere far away from the school. The next morning, Tom went to school in his father’s big coat. During the break, he rushed to the pond. Without anyone around, he called the geese and pushed them inside the coat. However, the geese were larger than he had thought and they tried very hard to free themselves from the coat. The big noise called the notice of the head teacher and the students. And they all ran to the pond. The head teacher asked for an explanation. Looking at the teacher with fear, Tom told the story and said, “It is unfair to them. We all love them.” The head teacher smiled and promised not to have them killed for the Christmas dinner.

Almost eleven kilometers deep, the Pacific is the deepest body of water on the planet. But sometimes, the seabed shoots to the surface. The creation of a new island. This is Kavachi, one of the most active undersea volcanoes in the world. Powerful waves keep sweeping its efforts away. Today, only 1% of this vast ocean is land, and much of it owes its existence to the powers of volcanoes like Kavachi. The never-ending rise and fall of land in the Pacific will continue to produce strange and wonderful worlds. The natural force that created land here in the first place, the ocean volcano. (66”)

W: Hi, Tom! I heard you’ve just had a new-born son.

M: Yes. I’m very excited. I had never thought that having a baby would make me think a lot about the future.

W: Oh? What are you thinking about?

M: I’m wondering what is life will be in ten years.

W: So you are predicting the future?

M: Not really. Being a teacher, I’m not sure if his education will be a lot different from what was for us when we were ten or twelve.

三问部分：

Question 1: How was the school when you were twelve?/ What was the school like when you were twelve?

Answer 1: I remember I had a classroom with about twenty students in it. Teachers used the white board rather than the computer screen in the classroom. There was not so much homework to do after class. So we had a lot of time to do sports outside.

Question 2: Do you think that sports will be the same?/ Will sports be the same in your opinion?

Answer 2: It’s hard to say. I just wonder if he will play games with his friends in the park. Actually, it worries me that kids don’t play sports freely as we did. I remember when I was twelve we would always play basketball games or baseball games. I don’t know if kids do that so much anymore. They may do something really different. You know, things change quickly these days.

Question 3: What will the biggest change be?/ What is the biggest change going to be?/ What can the biggest change be?/ What will the greatest change be?/ What is the greatest change going to be?/ What can the greatest change be?

Answer 3: I guess the greatest change might be the way of learning. Technology could change learning in ways that we cannot imagine. Maybe in the future, each student will have a robot to help with his reading and writing. This would make learning much more interesting and easier.

Time and Trust

Tom was invited by a university in New York City for a job interview which was set at 10:00 a.m. Tom had never been to the city and he wasn’t aware of the heavy morning traffic. When he was nearing the downtown, his bus was only able to move forward at a very slow pace with so many cars on the road. So he reached the university an hour late and missed the interview. Fortunately, he was offered another interview which was again at 10:00 a.m. two days later. Tom was very embarrassed about being late and decided that it would never happen again. So he started out very early on the day of the second interview. It was a freezing winter morning and Tom made his way in the falling snow. He reached the university two hours earlier and waited at the gate of the building. When the director came to work, he was surprised to see Tom so early. Tom explained that he did not want to be late again. The director called him in and gave him an offer right away, saying that a man who cared so much about time should be trusted. 参考复述：

I bet you can’t guess what this is. It looks strange. It could be a piece of art or, perhaps, a dead tree that’s fallen over, but this used to be underground. It might be hard to imagine, but this used to be a rabbits’ home, a warren. And these are tunnels and rooms which we call chambers. We poured concrete into an old warren. Then we waited until the concrete went hard and then we dug around the soil so we could see the shape of the warren. So what you’re looking at now is a warren from the outside. And it’s amazing.

Mary’s Doll

Mary loved dolls but never had one. Every time she asked her mom to buy her a doll, she was rejected, because her mom had to raise three kids and was nearly able to make a living. The day before her birthday, Mary tried to persuade her mom again, and said, “All my friends have their own dolls.” She really wanted to have one, but her mom didn’t say a word, which made Mary very upset. At midnight, Mary slept into her mom’s bedroom. She quickly put her hand into her mom’s purse, took out some money, put it in a secret place and went back to sleep again. The next morning, Mary woke up in excitement, because she was going to buy herself a doll. But at breakfast, she saw on the table a nice doll dressed in beautiful clothes. “Happy birthday, Mary. This is a doll I made for you,” her mother said to her happily. Knowing her mom had been working on it for two weeks, Mary felt ashamed that she shouldn’t have taken the money. In tears, she told her mom the truth and promised she would not do such a thing again. 参考复述：

Beside many a tropical river, there hangs the biggest of all seed pods, the sea bean. These huge containers house one of the most successful of all vegetable travelers. One by one, the sea beans start on their voyages. This one is setting off down a small river in Africa. After a few miles, even, perhaps, a few hundred miles, the seed arrives at the mouth of its river. It can voyage through groups of islands and out into the open sea to ride the great ocean currents for as much as a year and still remain alive. (57”)
