听力原文： Some parts of the earth are more likely to have quakes than others. This is usually true of mountain areas, because there the thickness of rocks, which make up the earth's crust, is not even. But quakes may often be felt in level regions, too, because the waves, which come from the center of a quake, run often for thousands of miles.
It is easy to understand why man is so frightened by an earthquake. People used to think that when there was an earthquake, the ground opened, swallowed great numbers of people, then closed, and those who were killed disappeared forever. We know now this does not happen.
What we need to fear are the after-effects of a serious earthquake: fires, floods, and landslides. Since the Yellowstone earthquake some people have said that they would never go to that area for fear of being caught in a landslide occurring after the earthquake. This is, actually a foolish idea. Such a fear would keep us away from mountains the rest of our lives. Even though earthquakes happen every day something like the Madison River landslide does not happen very often. We can realize gratefully that few of us will suffer because of such a disaster. At the same time we can understand the need of being ready to help those who do suffer such trouble.

听力原文：W: What are you doing this term？
M: Oh, I'm still studying English. I have to do one more term before I can start my real study.
W: You make it sounds like a prison. How are the class going？
M: I don't know. It seems that they never tell us what we really need to know.
W: What do you mean？
M: Well, when I study math, for example, I go to class, I keep up, I do the homework, and I know it.
W: How is your English Class different？
M: In the first place, they don't want to teach us all the rules. They tell us one rule. OK, we use that rule, but soon it doesn't work. It becomes more and more complicated.
W: But you don't learn a language from the rules anyway. You have to use it.
M: Yes. That's something else they tell us. But I just wonder why we can't just go to class, study, and do our homework.
W: Well, can you learn to play football by sitting at home and reading about it？
M: No, of course not.
W: But why not？ You could understand the rules, toe.
M: Football isn' like math. You have to feel the ball, practice kicking it thousands of times, No one can learn it by reading at home.
W: Well, language is like football. You have to ask a lot of questions, and listen to the answers carefully. And then, f course, lots of practice on all the skills—reading, speaking, spelling, writing...
M: Maybe I'll join a football team and practice English and football at the same time. I can talk with people before and after practice.
W: Good idea.

听力原文： Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge on gains this way frequently turns out to be different from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
Differences between people do of course exist and, one hopes, will always continue to' do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
