概述： 护士搬来一张椅子，那海军陆战队队员就坐在床边守着。。。 Hints: 无 PS：36秒左右有破折号 The nurse brought a chair, so the marine could sit by the bed. Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward, holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength. Occasionally, the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while. He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital — the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and breathing of other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night. 护士搬来一张椅子，那海军陆战队队员就坐在床边守着。 医院里长夜漫漫，年轻的海军陆战队战士整夜坐在灯光昏暗的病房里，握着老人的手，给予老人希望与力量。护士偶尔会过来劝他休息一会儿，但他都拒绝了。 护士每次进来，海军陆战队战士都坐在那儿。对于护士的进出、医院晚上的各种响动——氧气瓶的撞击声、值夜班的医生护士打招呼时的笑声、其他病人的哭喊、呻吟声和呼吸声——他都视若不见。不时地，护士听见他柔声说着什么。弥留之际的老人则什么也没说，只是在那一夜大部分的时间里紧紧抓着儿子的手。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

走了。。。 Hints: LAPD I turned to see their shadows get into a car and speed away. I had been spared, but by what? Mercy? A short attention span? Hunger? "How peculiar," I thought, "to have your life saved by fried chicken. I saw eternity; they saw food." I got to my feet, found the keys, entered and called 911. The operator took a description of the robbers and sent a police car. I poured a stiff drink and, soon, two uniformed officers of the LAPD arrived. They took a report and admitted the "important thing" was nobody was hurt. 我转过身，看见他们的影子钻进了一辆汽车，急速地开走了。 他们没有杀我，但他们为什么这么做呢? 是仁慈? 是因为时间太紧而顾不上? 还是因为饥饿? “多奇怪啊，”我心中暗想，“竟然是炸鸡救了我的命。我看到的是死亡，而他们看到的是食物。” 我站一起身来，找到了钥匙，进了屋，然后拨通了911。接线员记下了我对劫匪的描述，然后派了辆警车来。我为自己倒了一杯烈性酒，不一会儿，两个穿制服的洛杉矶警察局的警察就到了。他们对此事作了笔录，说“幸好”没有受伤。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

概述： 诀窍在于要始终如一地保持自我，保持最佳状态的自我。。。 Hints: 无 PS:文中两处破折号 They instruct you to greet them with "power handshakes" and tell you to fix your eyes on the other person. If you follow all this advice, you'll drive everyone crazy - including yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change from one situation to another. They're the same whether they're having a conversation, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being; the tones of their voices and their gestures match their words. Public speakers, however, often send mixed messages. My favorite is the kind who say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy to be here" - while looking at their shoes. They don't look happy. They look angry, frightened or depressed. 他们会教你以 “有力的握手”问候他人，并且告诉你要用双眼注视对方。可你如果遵循了所有这些建议，你会让所有的人都受不了——包括你自己。 诀窍在于要始终如一地保持自我，保持最佳状态的自我。给人印象最深的那些人从不随着情境的变化而改变自己。无论是在与人交谈时，在园艺俱乐部上发表演说时，还是在求职面试中，他们的表现都是一样的。他们全身心地与人交流；他们的音调和手势与他们说的话保持着一致。 然而，演说家常常会传递一些混合不清的信息。我最喜欢用来作例子的一类演说家是那些边看自己的鞋子边说”女士们、先生们，我很高兴来到这里”的人。他们看上去并不高兴。他们看上去气愤、恐惧或沮丧。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

概述： 他一把摘下了我的眼镜，把它扔到草坪上。。。 Hints: Leslie Lord KFC PS:46秒与50秒左右有破折号 He grabbed my glasses and tossed them onto the lawn. By then, I was flat on my face on the pathway, its dirt against my forehead. The big one's gun dug into the back of my head, the thin one's pistol into my left temple. I thought, "I am going to die. This is going to kill Leslie. Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner." "What's this?" the big one asked. I rolled my head to the right. "It's KFC chicken," I said. "We'll take it," the big one snapped. And, suddenly - wallet, watch and chicken in hand - their footsteps faded down the darkened street. 他一把摘下了我的眼镜，把它扔到草坪上。 这时，我已面朝下趴在了地上，前额紧贴着地面的泥土。那个大个子劫匪用枪顶着我的后脑勺，小个子用手枪紧紧顶着我左边的太阳穴。 我当时想，“这下完了。莱斯利会受不了的。主啊，可怜可怜我这个有罪的人吧。” “这是什么?”大个子问道。 我把头转向右边。 “是肯德基炸鸡，”我说。 “我们要带走，”大个子厉声说道。 于是，突然间，劫匪们手里拿着钱包、手表和炸鸡，脚步声在黑暗的街道上越来越远。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

概述： 最近，这一教育网络机构已开始帮助整个美国东南部的发型设计师们在他们的美发店里实施类似计划。。。 Hints: AIDS PS:46秒左右有冒号。 It's amazing how many people she has educated on the job. Recently, the network began helping hair stylists throughout the southeast set up similar programs in their shops. The hair stylists are also valuable resources in spreading information to their schools, community groups, and churches. The organization has developed several techniques useful to other groups doing similar work. While no one way of winning the war against AIDS exists, the network shares these lessons learned in its battle against AIDS: Speak to your community in a way they can hear. Many communities have a low literacy rate, making impossible passing out AIDS literature and expecting people to read it. 她在工作的同时使许许多多人受到了教育，这一点着实让人赞叹。 最近，这一教育网络机构已开始帮助整个美国东南部的发型设计师们在他们的美发店里实施类似计划。他们也是向学校、社区组织和教堂传播信息的有价值的资源。 这一组织还总结出了一些对其他从事同样工作的团体颇有裨益的方法。尽管还没有一种能战胜艾滋病的方法，但这一网络机构在与艾滋病斗争中获得了以下经验： 以社区居民能接受的方式与他们交谈。许多社区的居民受教育比例低，这一使得向他们散发艾滋病资料、希望他们自己阅读这一做法不切实际。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

概述： 如果这个难题解决不了，我的生活会没有了快乐吗？ Hints: 无 Would I be banned from a happy life if I couldn't figure this problem out? Tomorrow was the last day to declare a major. The last day! Everyone else was happily moving forward in their lives, choosing topics of study and predicting futures. I still hadn't made my big breakthrough in making this all too significant decision. "Don't worry," my friends would say. "You can always major in business." Business? Not me. I was an artist. I would rather die than major in business. In fact, I didn't even need college. 如果这个难题解决不了，我的生活会没有了快乐吗？ 明天是确定专业的最后一天。最后一天哪！其他每个人都在快乐地生活着，他们都选定了学习目标，憧憬着未来。这个决定实在是重大之极，我仍然没有取得大的进展。“甭着急，”朋友们会说，“你总还可以学商业”。 商业？我不干。我是个艺术家。宁死也不学商业。实际上，我甚至连大学都可以不上， 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
