听力原文: HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood is a suburb of the city of Ios Angeles in California. / Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet viilage on the northern side of the city,/but in that year William Selig, one of the fist people to make films,/ set up a film-producing workshop in Los Angeles. / By 1911, David and William Homely had set up another one in Hollywood,/and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood./2bus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells. /
The early makers of films found Hollywood a good place for their work/because of its dear, sunny, rainfree weather,/which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round./Also, it was known that every kind of scene needed for films could be found within the area of California./

听力原文: Teaching and Learning
Teaching is supposed to be a professional activity requiring long and complicated training as well as official certification. The act of teaching is looked upon as a flow of knowledge from a higher source to an empty container. The student's role is one of receiving information, while the teacher's is one of sending it.
There is a clear distinction assumed between one who is supposed to know and another, usually, younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching needn't be the province of a special group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a supposedly empty head. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with someone. You don't have to get certified to convey what you know to someone else or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.

听力原文: Goats always seem to be second best to other farm animals. They give milk, but not as much as cows do. They offer meat, but not as much as pigs do. They provide wool, but not as much as sheep do. They carry loads, but not as well as homes do. However, goats have their own special merits. They thrive on weeds and twigs that would make cattle and sheep sick. They can live just about any-where since they need very little space. Years ago, city inhabitants even raised goats in their backyard. Goats can also climb just about anything, and are so sure-footed that they can even live on the slopes of mountains. In fact, the animal seems healthiest and happiest when there is something for them to climb. Because of their adaptability, goats are raised for their milk, meat, hair and leather in many parts of the world.

听力原文: Sport
The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games, which is its usual meaning today. People spend their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. Some people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but many of them can earn a lot of money.
Of course, it is only possible for a few sportsmen to earn much money in sports for individuals, like golf, tennis and motor racing. And famous stars can even get huge amounts of money from advertisements. They allow the companies to use their names or photographs and are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people% spare time.
