写作： One possible version: Nowadays, there is a common phenomenon(现象) that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. For another, many parents and teachers hold a different view, and they think that managing a blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility. In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Opening and organizing an eye-catching blog needs various abilities such as writing, designing, being skilful at computers and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. And also, we can improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs. 录音原文 Text 1 M: Nice day, isn’t it? The sun is shining brightly. W: Yes, but it’s not hot. After all , it’s autumn already. Text 2 W: Jack, are you going to play tennis with us today? M: I promised Bill I’d go swimming with him. Text 3 W: This is the third time you’ve been late for work this week, Robert. You’ll have to be punctual, or I will have to let you go. M: I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. Text 4 M: I need some stamps and some envelopes as well. W: Will you step right over there to the second window, please? Text 5 M: How’s your salad? Is it good? W: Yes, it’s nice and fresh. Is yours good? M: No, mine is rather tasteless. Text 6 M: Hello, Marian. W: Hi, Peter! What a surprise! What are you doing here? M: Oh, I was just passing. Our shop is under repair this afternoon and I have a half-day off. Would you like a ride in my car? W: I’d love to, but I’ve got classes from two to four. I’m studying at this community college. Would you like me to give you a tour of the college? M: No, thank you. Maybe next time. Do you always come on your bicycle? W: No, not always. When it rains, I come by bus. M: Do you have to work long hours here? W: No, we don’t. We start at nine, and finish at four. And we have an hour for lunch from one to two. Good heavens! It’s about time. I must hurry. I’m going to be late for my class. Goodbye. M: Bye! See you later. Text 7 M: When are you leaving for that seaside town, Mary? W: I’m not sure yet, but maybe I should leave Friday after work. It’s a long drive, but I’d rather get there late Friday than mid Saturday. We only have three days off this time. M: How long does it take to get there? W: Five or six hours. M: Say you leave at 4:30 p.m, right after work, then you’ll be there around nine or ten. W: I suppose so. And we could still have a good night’s sleep. M: What about clothes? What are you going to take? W: Mostly shorts and T-shirts. M: I’m afraid it will be a bit cold at night at the seaside. W: Maybe. Then I should take a sweater or a light coat, just in case. M: Have a pleasant trip. Have fun! Text 8 M: Hello! Is that Ann? W: Yes. Who’s that? M: This is Mike. How are things with you? W: Oh, not bad. But I’ve been kept busy these days. M: How come? You’ve finished all your exams, haven’t you? W: Yes, but I’ve got lots of other things to do. I have to help my little sister with her foreign language. She has difficulty with the pronunciation of some French words. M: That can be hard. You see, I’m calling to ask you to go to the cinema with me this evening. There’s a new film. W: That sounds nice, but I’m afraid I can’t go with you. A friend of mine is coming from the south and I have to go to the railway station to meet him this evening. M: What a pity! How about the weekend then? W: I’m sorry, but I’ve arranged to go to an art exhibition with my parents. We’re all very interested in art, you know. Maybe we could go next week. M: When will you be available then? W: Monday evening would be good. Does that suit you? M: I think so. Text 9 M: Excuse me… W: Yes, sir? What can I do for you? M: I think I left my coat on the train this morning. W: Which train did you take? M: I came from Southampton. W: Ah, a coat. Can you please describe your coat, sir? M: Well, it’s a thick coat with a zipper and two pockets. W: What color is the coat, sir? M: Dark Grey. W: Then this isn’t your coat, sir. This one is black. But don’t worry, sir. We’ll see whether we have found other coats. Now here’s a second coat and it’s grey. Is there anything in the pockets? M: Yes , there is some money, some letters and my passport. W: Passport? You can’t afford to lose that. M: Yes you know, I’ve been looking for it all morning, on the bus, in my friend’s car… W: You are lucky, sir. This is your coat. We’ve put a number on it. Sixty-seven. I’ll go and get it for you. M: Oh, thank you very much. Text 10 I’m sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks are very important in your lives, but they were seldom seen in the United States before the 1850’s. In the late 1700s, people did not know the exact time unless they were near a clock. There were delightful clocks on the squares of some Europeans town built for the public. After all, most people didn’t have enough money to but their own watches or clocks. In the 1800s in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch was to show others how wealthy you were. By then, with the rapid industrial development in the United States, measuring time had become very important since industrialization made it possible to produce large numbers of watches and clocks in factories. They became very cheap, and “being on time ”gradually came into the language and our lives. (责任编辑：admin) |
