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： Why Some People Are Poor

The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. / People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. /

As the general standard of living rises, / the poverty line does, too. / Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, / about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. / Economists suggest several reasons. /

For one thing, more than half of the poor people are not qualified to work. / By law, children less than 16 years old can not work in many industries; / many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, / which is considered the normal retirement age. /

Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons. / Other poor people look for a job but can't find one. / Many poor adults never went to high school. /Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.

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.
