听力原文: Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Sally Brown. Today, we are going to hear several current hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, at the beginning, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.
Because many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we have a vast library of "golden oldish" Classics, as well as the "latest releases".
For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music — there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves ,there's a new series called About The Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They speak to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs — so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised ff the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago... [ fade out]

A.Interviews with radio producers.
B.A large variety of pop songs.

听力原文:W: David, sorry for my school board meeting last night so late. I've been working on a special project with the school board, and I like your opinion on it.
M: What is it?
W: I've been trying to find a way to encourage reading.
M: Tell me about it. I work with families everyday, Eva. I see how people spend their leisure time --young and old.
W: Mostly watching TV. Well, that would be OK, if people took the time to read.
M: I couldn't agree with you more.
W: The question is, how do we get them to read more?
M: I think you are going to give me the answer to that question. You have that look in your eye.
W: I do have the answer, or at least I think I do. The plan is a simple one. Involve the entire family in a reading project. But first in the schoolrooms. By arranging with the public schools to schedule one hour a week--to start with. During that time, parents are invited to attended to read along with the children.
M: It can go beyond the school system.
W: Really?
M: I guarantee you it would go very well in the hospitals. My patients--mostly kids--would love to read or to be read to.
W: I love the idea. In that way, we can spend more time together. You and I are very busy these days, we need to find more time to be together, to do things together. That would be wonderful.

听力原文: At an early age, little girls' conversation is less definite and expresses more doubts, while little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.
These differences continue into adult life. In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.
Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.
But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.

听力原文:W: Welcome to our program. Today Prof. Johnson is going to talking about solar power.
M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.
W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south.
M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from $100 to more than $500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.
W: Wow! That is really big business.
What do we learn about the use of solar energy in the U. S. ?
A.It is very well established.

W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum?
M: Well, you can take the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often.
M: Okay. Thank you so much.

听力原文:W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part?
M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why?
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience.
W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it?
M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past.
M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result.
W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock?
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else?
M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.
(23)
A.How to go abroad for study.
B.How to enjoy the freedom abroad.
C.How to look for a job after returning back from abroad.
D.Re-entry Shock and how to reduce it.
