听力原文： Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encouraged all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" help elementary students who've fallen behind. The education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to so some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English.

You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can cheese to help a child with math, English, or both. Halfhour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

It looks good on your resume, toot—showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.

听力原文： [14] If there are no more questions about the textbooks or syllabus, I'd like to briefly explain the grading procedure I'll be using in this course. 50% of your grade will be based on the midterm examination and the final exam. Both of these exams will be given during class time and each will be 2 hours long. [15] In a lecture class this size, it is impractical and almost impossible to give make-up exams, so plan on being healthy and in class on those days; otherwise, your final grade average may suffer. The semester is 16 weeks long and quizzes will be given every 2 weeks to make sure you're keeping up with what's going on in class. [16] Quizzes will count as 15% of your grade and daily homework will count another 15%. Homework will be collected and graded by the teaching assistants in your laboratory sessions. [16] So, 50% for exams, 15% for quizzes, and 15% for homework. The remaining 20% of your grade will be based on class participation. I'm obviously not in a position to judge this, but I will be asking our teaching assistants to evaluate how actively you participate in their clasps. Remember, [17] the purpose of the laboratory sessions is to give you a chance to ask questions about the lecture and to discuss difficult points.

听力原文： Broadly speaking, there are two types of paintings: representational and abstract. The former portrays specific, recognizable physical objects.

For most of history, the primary purpose of painting had been to portray images. Starting with the Post-Impressionists, however, the emphasis began to shift to unconscious feeling.

There are two types of abstract paintings. "Abstracted" paintings may not look realistic, but you can get an idea of what you are looking at. "Pure" abstract paintings are just shapes, colors, lines, patterns, and so on.

In truth, there is a lot more to abstract art than what meets the eye. To truly appreciate a work of art, you need to understand there must be context involved and a particular environment created. More importantly, art allows us indirect access to our inner psyche. Great art affords a way to get in touch with the unconscious part of our existence, even if we don't realize what we are doing.

The reason abstract art has the potential to be so powerful is that it keeps the conscious distractions to a minimum. This, of course, only works if you cooperate with the artist. If you are to truly appreciate a work of art, you must be willing to let yourself go, to put yourself in the hands of the artist, so to speak, and let him take you wherever he wants.

听力原文： After reaching its peak in 1990s, journalism seems to be cast in bleak and grim prospects. We are enduring the worst recession in the advertising market since at least the 1950s.

Yet, I am optimistic about the future of journalism. Journalism is the business of bringing information and opinion about public affairs to a mass audience. So long as the people want to know the world around, they will want journalism.

In fact, the growth of journalism is rapid and all transforming than any change since the advent of cheap printing, newspaper, radio or other mass media. However, contrasts are obvious. Over the past decade and a half, many newsmagazines are dying, but the Economist, also a news magazine, flourishes.

The TV networks are shrinking. The American networks' evening programs have only a little more than half the audience they had a decade ago. Yet there is more and better news and information program available to North American viewers than ever before. The daily newspapers are losing their readers. And yet, the newspaper readers have access to almost every title in the world instantaneously, either free or at a lower cost.

Journalists feel that cost-conscious managements are squeezing their ability to do serious and in-depth and unusual work. But we can check into the vast on-line network of bloggers and learn from somebody directly on the spot more facts than even the most lavishly funded reporter would ever tell me.

So if these are the worst of times, they are also the best of times.

听力原文： Effective reading requires not only "reading between the lines," but also "writing between the lines. "

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is to pay for it. But the act of purchase is only the prelude to possession. Full ownership won't come unless you have absorbed the ideas to do you any good.

There are 3 kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and best-sellers—unread and untouched. The second has a great many books, all of which as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third, however, has a collection of books that are all dog-eared and dilapidated.

Marking up a book is indispensable to reading. First, it keeps you awake. Second, active reading is thinking, which expresses itself in words. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had or the thoughts the author expressed.

Light fictions like Gone with the Wind do not require active reading. They can be read in a state of relaxation. But great books cannot be read while you're asleep.

There are a number of devices for marking a book intelligently and fruitfully. For example, underlining, vertical lines at the margin, stars or asterisks at the margin, numbers in the margin, numbers of other pages in the margin and circling of key words or phrases.
