听力原文: It is difficult to give an accurate definition of "temperature", but we can try. Temperature is not the total amount of heat in a thing but the intensity of its heat at a certain time. When we measure temperature we do not measure the quantity of heat but its intensity. A large pan of boiling water obviously contains more heat than a smaller pan of boiling water, but their temperatures arc the same. The water in both pans has a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius.
To measure temperature accurately we need good instruments. The accuracy of a measurement depends partly on the instrument, which is used. Most instruments used to measure temperature are called thermometers. In measure thermometers two scales are used, the Fahrenheit scale and the Celsius scale. American doctors find the Fahrenheit scale convenient for measuring the temperature of the body, but other doctors and scientists often use the Celsius scale. The boiling points of water are different on the two scales. On the Celsius scale, water boils at 100 degrees. On the Fahrenheit scale it boils at 212 degrees.

Harlem Renaissance—A Brief Introduction
Important Features
1. Harlem Renaissance(HR) is the name given to the period from the end of World War I and through the middle of the 1930s Depression, during which a group of talented African-American writers produced a sizable body of literature in the four prominent genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and essay.
2. The notion of "twoness", a divided awareness of one's identity, was introduced by W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP). and the author of the influential book The Souls of Black Folks(1903): "One ever feels his two-ness—an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled stirrings: two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being tom asunder."
3. Common themes: alienation, marginality, the use of folk material, the use of the blues tradition, the problems of writing for an Mite audience.
4. HR was more than just a literary movement: it included racial consciousness, "the back to Africa" movement led by Marcus Garvey, racial integration, the explosion of music particularly jazz, spirituals and blues, painting, dramatic revues, and others.
