　　M: I got two letters this morning with Job Office, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.

　　W: So youre not sure which to go for?

　　M: Thats it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: the Polytechnic is offering a two year contract which could be renewed, but the Language School is only offering a years contract and thats a different minus. It could be renewed, but youll never know.

　　W: I see. So its much less secure. But you dont need to think too much about steady jobs when youre only 23.

　　M: Thats true.

　　W: What about the salaries?

　　M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short-term. Ill be getting equivalent about 22, 000 pounds a year there, but only 20, 000 pounds at the Polytechnic. But only hours are different. At the Polytechnic, Id have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration whereas the Pistoia School is only asking for 13 hours teaching.

　　W: Um.

　　M: Then the type of teaching is so different.

　　W: The Polytechnics are all adults and mostly preparation for exams, like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories and a couple of childrens classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.

　　W: Well, that sounds very much more varied interesting. And Id imagine youd be doing quite a lot of teaching outside the school and moving around quite a bit.

　　M: Yes, whereas at the Polytechnics position, Id been stuck in the school all day.

　　W: Good evening, and welcome to the tonights edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean-- actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Nervy is the author of a new biography of Dean. Good evening, Edward!

　　M: Hello, Tina!

　　W: Edward, tell us what you know about Deans early life.

　　M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasnt there long, though, because his mother passed away just four years later. James father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.

　　W: So how did he get into acting?

　　M: Well, first he acted in plays of high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951, he moved to New York to more stage acting.

　　W: Then when did his movie career really start?

　　M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one-- Rebel without Cause. That was about teenagers who felt like they didnt fit into the society.

　　W: So how many more movies did he make?

　　M: Just one more. Then he died in a car crash in California in 1955.

　　W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies. So what made him the legend he still is today?

　　Huang Louise, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience analysis, he learnt that only two or three of his classmates knew much of anything about geology. Huang realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Huang kept asking himself: how can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles? Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by noting that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska, but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811. If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi Valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Huang doubt only with the basic mechanics of earthquakes and carefully avoided technical terms. He also prepared visual aids diagramming photo lines so his classmates wouldnt get confused. To be absolutely safe, Huang asked his roommate who was not a geology major to listen to the speech. Stop me, he said, Anytime I say something you dont understand. Huangs roommate stopped him four times. And at each spot, Huang worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.

　　Question 30: What did Huang Louise learn from the analysis of his audience?

　　Question 31: How did Huang Louise start his speech?

　　Question 32: What did Huang ask his roommate to do when he was making is trial speech?

　　六级答案听力Passage3 原文：

　　Esperanto is an artificial language designed to serve internationally as an auxiliary means of communication among speakers of different languages. It is created by Ludwig Lejzer Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish doctor specialized in eye diseases. Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement was launched to promote its use. Despite arguments and disagreements, the movement has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries. Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least 1 million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contacts, on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications as well as in translations of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread from Europe, both east and west, to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto has had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations, often in scientific or technological works. El Popola Cinio, which means From Peoples China, is a monthly magazine in Esperanto, and is read worldwide. Radio Beijings Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world.

　　Esperantos vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Romance languages, English, and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus, for example, every noun ends in o, every adjective in a, and the basic form of every verb in i. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old ones.
