听力原文：M: I thought it was an awful book. Honestly, just because it said in
the future doesn’t mean it has to be so strange. I mean, for a romance, it was pretty
weird. Don’t you think? W: No, not really. I enjoyed all the actions around their
relationship. I thought it was really exciting. M: Well, may be. But it took you away
from what should’ve been the main point of the story: how they found each other.

听力原文：W: I’d like to welcome David Whitesman to the program today. Good
morning, David.W: We’ve all turned our offices into open-plan areas and now people
complain about the noise. M: Quite rightly, I think. Listening to other people’s phone
conversations is no fun. Although people spend a lot more time in meetings, their
main occupation is what I call quiet work which is individual work and they need
somewhere to do this. W: Does this mean returning to offices with walls? M: No, I
think open-plan offices have a function. But we need to adapt: have a number of
different styles of office in one place so that the staff could select somewhere peaceful
when they need it. W: Well, thank you, David Whitesman and that report.

now?

听力原文：W: We all know that poetry is not everyone’s cup of tea. But
according to Dr James Stewart. M: Hello! W: Hello! If you are suffering from anxiety
or depression, poetry may be the solution to your problems. Dr Stewart, how does
poetry help? M: Em, OK! Look, let me give you an example. A patient came into our
clinic last month. He was a middle-aged businessmen, and he was feeling, well, like
most middle-aged businessmen, really stressed and with his life out of control. He
talked to me about it, and, well, I was convinced that medication just wouldn’t help
him. Then I read him a poem called Leisure by WHDavis. Do you know the one? It
begins, er... W: I do, yes. M: What is this life, er, so full of. It is so or if... W: I think
it’s if. M: If full of care, that’s it, yes. We have no time to stand and stare. Well, you
know the one. The next time he came to see me, he told me that, well, it was a sort of
turning point for him. The poem made him think about the quality of his life and the
need to find a balance between his work and his social life. Er, you see, because the
idea was expressed poetically, he felt that he could identify with it, and actually feel
the message in a way that he wouldn’t if he simply discussed it with me. And we just
had the usual kind of conversation about it. W: Yes, I see. M: You see, reading poetry
to patients seems to make them calmer. Encouraging them to write it has an even
more dramatic effect, actually. Era, there.., there are something about the process of
expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing that actually helps
people or suffering from stress and anxiety. This happens especially if the words are
written in a poetical way with a sense of rhythm rather than in prose, you see. Er, now,
for a long time, we’ve been asking patients to write diaries to put their feelings into
words. But it turns out that writing poetry seems to work much better for many
patients. W: Right, and have you found that other doctors and therapists have made
the same discoveries? M: Yes, many of my colleagues have successfully used poetry
with patients suffering from anxiety or depression or even eating disorders. I mean
their patients said that, that reading poetry made them feel less stressed. You know,
almost as many said that writing it has the same effect. You see, some said that
writing poetry reduced the pain they felt when a friend or a close relation had died
extraordinarily! W: Yes, it certainly is! M: Era. Others thought that it enabled them to
reduce or stop taking antidepressants or tranquillizers. And writing poetry helps them
to provide a sort of outlet for their emotions. W: Em, that’s fascinating! Can you give
any explanation as to why poetry might be calming in this way? M: Well, it’s only a
guess. But I say that the calming effect of poetry is related to an interplay between the
left and right hemispheres of the brain, the.., you probably know the left half is the

题型有：1. Co-evolution, in which two species have evolved together in
response to adaptations that each has imposed on the other, can be extremely subtle.
For instance, some animals may help to transfer pollen from one plant to another
without acting directly as the carrier themselves. Instead, they make it easier for the
pollen to be dispersed by other creatures. Mats Olsson and Richard Shine, of the
University of Sydney, and Elisabeth Bak-Olsson, of the University of Gothenburg in
Sweden, have discovered, apparently for the first time, such a mutually beneficial
arrangement between a reptile and a plant. For most of the year the Tasmanian
snow skink lizard confined to mountain tops in that island is catholic in what it eats.
But when the honey-bush is in bloom, the skinks make a point of tearing off the tough,

题型有：1. 6 million people have been allowed to troop in each year during the
summer months, unknowingly disrupting a fragile ecosystem essential to the health of
the forest they have come to enjoy. Even the rugged packers in the backcountry,
mostly nature-lovers at heart, have disturbed the breeding of the red-legged frog and
arroyo as they camped, with permission, along shallows. Invasive species aside
from humans pose problems as well. Bullfrogs originally from the Eastern U. S. are
munching red-legged frogs and arroyo toads, as are the warm water non-native fish
species like small-mouthed bass and blue gill. Fragile native plants are being crowded
out by pampas grass and other non-natives in the majority of the meadows. One of the
most dangerous invaders of Southern California is the cowbird, also an East Coast

题型有：1.jpg /> Do you ever wonder where television words come from?
Many TV terms come from the combination of two words. Even the word television is
made up of two words. These words are Greek and Latin words meaning “far” and “to
see”. One kind of television program is the soap opera. The first soap operas were
stories on the radio. These stories are serials. They are continuous and can go on for
many years. Soap companies first advertised their products during these shows on TV.
The soap companies knew lots of housewives and mothers watched them, so most of
the commercials during these shows were for different kinds of soap products. People
then started calling them “soap operas”. Serious TV programs are called dramas.
Funny ones are called comedies. Some programs are both funny and serious. This
