Text 3

Text 4

Text 7
W: Excuse me. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
M: No, I guess not.

M: Almost every day.
W: What's your general impression of the food here?
M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically, I think it's OK. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but I mean they have to feed hundreds of people here. You are not going to get something freshly prepared just for you.
W: If I just put down generally satisfactory, is that OK?
M: Sure.
W: So you think the other things, like soup and dessert are okay?
M: Yeah, that's about right.
W: Is there anything you'd like to change about the cafeteria?

M: Oh, yes, that's our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.
W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you don't have to do?
M: Eh, I don't have to do the washingup, so that's good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.
W: And what's the secret to being good at your job?
M: Attention to detail and your passion for it.
W: And what are your plans for the future?
M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.

W: Are you OK, Chuck? You look pale.
M: I'm fine, Katherine. I just stayed up late last night working on my Chinese.
W: Oh, poor you. You know what? I found a new way to learn Chinese and it works very well.
M: You did? Do tell me. I've spent all these months trying to learn something new about it, but I've made little progress.
W: Sure. I'm learning Chinese through songs.
M: So you're learning Chinese songs?
W: You can say that. I can actually sing some of them now.
M: That's a real achievement. How do you do that?
W: I start by listening to the song a few times and after several times I am able to follow the singer.
M: It makes sense.
W: It does. I've learned some Chinese folk songs this way. They are clearly presented and easy to follow.
M: Can I join you, Katherine? I do want to have a try.
W: Why not? I downloaded a beautiful song the other day. We can learn it together now.
M: Great. Do you think we need a Chinese dictionary?
W: Yes, just in case we run into some new characters.
M: OK. I will bring it with me.

Today on our program, we take you on a trip through the northeastern state of Vermont, part of the area known as New England. Each fall, people travel to Vermont to see the colorful autumn leaves. In winter, people come to ski in the mountains. In the warmer months, they go on riverrafting trips and enjoy camping and other outdoor activities.
Only about 600,000 people live in Vermont. That makes it the second leastpopulated state in the country after Wyoming. And the state is small not just in population. Vermont is the 45th out of the 50 states in territory. It has just 24,000 square kilometers of land. In addition, almost 950 square kilometers of its land is covered by water. Vermont is known as the Green Mountain State. The name comes from the Green Mountains, which divide the state up and down the center. In fact, the name Vermont comes from the French “verd mont”， which means green mountain. The capital of Vermont is Montpelier, in the center of the state. But the largest city is Burlington, on the shores of Lake Champlain.
