Jennifer The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it’s a cycle that’s been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world, People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don’t be as silly as them. Carl: Spring just hits here, too. It’s so nice--windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields. I get so excited to be out in the wild. It’s tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I’ll go camping soon! Susan: In the city you don’t have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around hi your car. Summer’s heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don’t change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads. Harold: Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours/day weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread -- I don’t know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get 1 or 2 big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming. Mike: It’s been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November... In February it’s like a warm period that’s been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive those snowstorms, since we all know they’ll be gone in a few days. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Future is bright.[B] In the city we can hardly touch nature.[C] We can see the greenhouse effect on the climate.[D] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather.[E] The call of nature is there.[F] He hates spring.[G] Sometimes we worry too much about nothing.

What does the woman mean in this conversation
Text The conception of poverty and what to (26) about it have changed over the decades. Under Social Darwinism the lazy and the (27) were supposed to be at the bottom of the economic ladder as a result of the "law of (28) of the fittest". Society was (29) as a network of self-sufficient families which provided for their own. (30) persons outside a household (orphans, the (31) elderly,and the crippled) were provided outdoor relief grudgingly and as a temporary expedient. Although it was (32) that "the poor will always be with us", the individual was expected to improve himself (33) acts of his own will. Charity was thought to be the (34) of idleness. By keeping wages low, labourers would be (35) to work harder. At about the turn of the century, the beginning of concern about natural (36) brought uneasiness about the possible spread of beggary. There was a potentially dangerous class in (37) of disease and disorder. The "poor" were (38) as different from "paupers". Paupers were individuals well (39) to being on the low end of the socioeconomic (40) . Without shame or bitterness, they would not seek independence and a " (41) " life. For the mountaineers, the subsistence dwellers, and some slum dwellers, the lack of wealth, (42) has been argued,reflects a preference not to pay the psychological costs of the struggle for the riches or of adopting the middle-class work ethic of surviving. In (43) ,the worthy poor struggled to (44) their lot against circumstances beyond their control: low wages, sickness, industrial (45) , widowhood and so on.
"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family-hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. What does the author mean by" ’ Family’ is of course an elastic word"
