听力原文: To the best of my knowledge, all my aunts, uncles and grandparents spent most of their lives within thirty miles of Troy, Pennsylvania. They were farmers, horse traders, merchants, and postmen. As a boy, I believe I knew everyone living within four miles of our farm. And I guess Dad knew just about everyone in the country. He enjoyed talking. We met people at suppers on Saturday nights. Today a number of my relatives still live near Troy, but several of my cousins, my nieces, my brother and my sister are scattered in many states. The nearest relative to my home in New Canaan, Connecticut, is a niece who lives about a hundred and ten miles away. My two sons live in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; my mother-in-law, until her recent death, lived much of the time in Florida. When my wife Virginia and I moved to New Canaan twenty-four years ago, it was a semi-rural town and I soon knew most of the people living within a mile of us. In recent years almost all the old neighbors have moved and many dozens of new houses have sprung up near us. Today I wouldn't even recognize half of the people living within five hundred yards of our house. Virginia and I feel increasingly isolated. Personal isolation is becoming a major social fact of our time.

D.the family was extremelylarge
听力原文: Before World War II, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the nature.
I'm a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do riot make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
