听力原文: When basketball was invented in 1891 in America, it was intended to be an outdoor game, which could be played during the severe American winters, when the ground was too frozen or snowy for baseball. Nowadays the game is played on specially designed basketball courts all over the world. It is a popular game because it demands speed and skill from its players, and is very exciting to watch. Most American cities have basketball teams. The teams often have names such as the Tigers' which suggest speed and physical power.
Basketball is played by two opposing teams, each of five players, on a rectangular court which is 26 meters long by 14 meters wide. Variations of 2 meters on the length and 1 meter on the width are permitted. The object of the game is to score points by shooting the ball into the opponent's goal. This used to be a wooden basket fixed high on a pole, but nowadays it is a metal hoop (still often referred to as the basket), 45 centimeters in diameter, which is secured horizontally with a net attachment beneath, 3.05 meters above the ground on a vertical board. The height of the hoop means that basketball teams are usually made up of players who are taller than average.
Like all competitive sports, basketball is governed by strict rules. Many of these roles relate to the handling of the ball. Each player tries to tap the ball to a member of his or her own team, who may then bounce, pass or shoot the ball. No player may run holding the ball, but he or she may dribble it by bouncing it on the court, with one hand only, as he or she runs.

M: Not exactly. Do you have any suggestions?
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I should have mentioned it earlier, but I wasn't sure if I'd even get the tickets.
M: An exhibit, huh? I like that. But I don't know who Julia...
W: Julia Margaret Cameron! She was a renowned photographer who changed the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person looks like in a dispassionate way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality.
M: Interesting! How did she do that?
W: Well, she invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. One of those things was to blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now.
M: Yeah. Who did she photograph?
W: Famous people of her days, like Alfred Lord Tennyson, Charles Darwin, just to name a few. Why not find out by yourself at the exhibition?
M: You've picked my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.

M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions?
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have mentioned it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.
M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia...
W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art-historians in general and students of photography in particular because she...how should I say, changed the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person looks like in a dispassionate sort of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality..

M: No way! That's awesome!
W: Yeah. She finally made it, and she certainly deserves it. She has been taking gymnastics classes seriously since she was a little girl, like since she was only 5 or 6 years old.
M: Congratulations! She must be one of the best gymnasts in your country.
W: No question about it.
M: I have heard that ancient Greek gymnastics training programs were designed for children too. And the programs were considered to be an integral part of the children's education.
W: I know. The ancient Greek people believed that gymnastics exercises were good for children. The type of exercises would facilitate unity of mind and body, and also harmonize the body's movements.
M: I am not surprised. Are the current gymnastics exercises the same as the ancient forms?
W: No, I don't think so. The ancient gymnastics was modernized in the 1800s. The modem format was developed by German and Czechoslovak educators. They invented gymnastics apparatus to develop self-discipline and strength of the body.
M: No wonder the German and Czechoslovak teams, had dominated the entire event in earlier days at the Olympic Games. Their gymnasts pretty much had swept every single medal at the Olympic competition. When was this sport first introduced to the United States?
W: Gymnastics was not introduced to the U.S. until the early 1830s. And in 1883, the Amateur Athletic Union, also abbreviated as AAU, was established. Since then the Union became very active and took over the control of all gymnastics activities in the U. S.
