听力原文:M: Hello.
W: Hello, Dad?
M: Yes…Mary! How are you? Is there anything wrong?
W: Oh, no. I’m just calling to see how you and Mom are. It’s been quite a while since I saw you last.
M: Oh, we’re both fine. Your mother is down at the new shopping center, shopping.
W: For a new dress?
M: No, for shoes this time. How’s Tom?
W: He’s fine. He likes this work and was given a raise last month by Mr. Davis. We were all pretty pleased about that.
M: Yes, and I think you should be. And how are the children?
W: Well, Billy’s home from school today. It’s nothing serious, just a bad cold. And it’s his birthday, too.
M: Oh, I thought his birthday was May 24th.
W: No, the 23rd.
M: Well. That’s too bad. Tell him we sent him a present.
W: All right. Sally’s still taking dancing lessons.
M: She must be pretty good by now. I’d like to see her sometime. And how’s Ted?
W: He’s OK. He loves working on cars and has a part-time job at the garage now.
M: Well, it’s certainly good to hear your voice. When are you coming for a visit?
W: Not for a few months, I’m afraid. But I hope we can come for a few weeks this summer, probably in July.
M: That should be nice. Call again soon.
W: OK, Dad. Nice talking to you and glad everything’s all right.

听力原文:M: Good morning, Professor Perkins, I hope I am not disturbing you.
W: Not at all. Tom, come right in. I'm always at ,my office in the morning.
M: I thought I'd get an early start on my research paper and would like to discuss my topic with you if you have a moment.
W: Of course. I recommend all my students discuss their topics with me before they begin their research. What do you want to work on?
M: I was especially interested in your lecture on dinosaurs and the apparent mystery surrounding their extinction. I'd like to explore that question, but I'm not too sure how to go about it.
W: Well, according to the most widely held theory, the dinosaurs died out because of a sudden cooling of the earth's temperature. Your textbook summarizes the conclusions of several paleontologists on this point.
M: Didn't you also mention a second theory in your lecture that the dinosaurs may simply have been replaced by mammals gradually and might not have died out as a direct response to the colder weather? W: Yes, Van Wehlen and Sloane are proponents of this theory, and I've out some of their articles on reserve in the library. M: Van Wehlen and Sloane. I'd better write that down. W: Let me know how your work progresses, Tom. If you should run into any problems, be sure to stop by a-gain.

Mark Twain: One of America's Best Known and Best Loved Writers
Mark Twain wrote "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in 1884. Since then, the book has been published in at least 60 languages. Some people say it is the best book ever created by an American writer. American students still read this book. And parents, teachers and literary experts still debate the issues discussed in the book.
The writer who became Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835. He grew up in Hannibal, Missouri on the Mississippi River. After his father died in 1847, young Samuel went to work as an assistant to a publisher. 10 years later, he became a pilot on a steamboat that sailed on the Mississippi. He heard the riverboat workers call out the words "mark twain !" that was a measure for the depth of water.
In 1861, the American Civil War put an end to steamboat traffic on the Mississippi. So Clemens traveled west and became a reporter for newspapers in Nevada and California.
Began to Write
Later, he wrote funny stories and called himself Mark Twain. Twain became famous for his story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in 1865. It tells about a jumping competition among frogs.
Twain also traveled a lot and began writing books about his travels. His stories about a trip to Europe and the Middle East were published in "The Innocents Abroad." And his stories about life in the western United States became the book called "Roughing It."
In 1870, he married Olivia Langdon and moved to Hartford, Connecticut. During the 1880's, he wrote books for children, such as "The Prince and the Pauper." It tells about a poor boy who trades identities with a member of England's ruling family. Twain also wrote "Life on the Mississippi." This book describes his days as a steamboat pilot and his return to the river 20 years later.
A Successful Writer and Speaker
Mark Twain was already a successful writer before he became famous as a public speaker. Over the years, he had invested a lot of money in unsuccessful businesses. In 1893, he found himself deeply in debt. So to earn money, he traveled around the world giving humorous talks. His speeches made people laugh and remember events they had experienced.
However, his later life was not a happy one. Two of his daughters died. His wife died in 1904 after a long sickness. Some critics think Mark Twain's later works were more serious because of his sadness. He died of heart failure in 1910.
Mark Twain was the first writer to use the speech of common Americans in his books. He showed that simple American English could be as fine an instrument for great writing as more complex language. Through his books, he captured American experiences as no other writer had.
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Many of the stories take place in Hannibal, Missouri. The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there. Next to the house is a wooden fence. It is the kind described in Twain's book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," published in 1876.
In that story, Tom bas been told to paint the fence. He does not want to do it. But he acts as if the job is great fun. He tricks other boys into believing this. His trick is so successful that they agree to pay him money to let them finish his work. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is considered one of the best books about an American boy's life in the 1800s.
Tom Sawyer's good friend is Huckleberry, or "Huck," Finn. Mark Twain tells this boy's story in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home. His father drinks too much alcohol and beats him.
Huck's situation bas freed him from the restrictions of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He smokes tobacco.

听力原文: Edgar Poe, an American writer, was born in 1809. His parents were actors. Edgar was a baby when his father left the family. He was two years old when his mother died. He was taken into the home of a wealthy business man named John Allen. He then received his new name, Edgar Allen Poe. As a young man, Poe attended the University of Virginia. He was a good student, but he liked to drink alcohol and play card games for money. As an unskilled game player, he often lost money. Since he couldn't pay his gambling losses, he left the university and began working for magazines. He worked hard, yet he was not well paid, or well known. At the age of 27, he got married. For a time it seemed that Poe would find happiness, but his wife was sick for most of their marriage, and died in 1847.
Through all his crises, Poe produced many stories and poems which appeared in different publications, yet he didn't become famous until 1845, when his poem, The Raven, was published. There is a question, however, about Poe's importance in American Literature. Some critics say Poe was one of America's best writers, and even had a great influence on many French writers. But others disagree. They my Poe's work is difficult to understand and most of his writing de scribes very unpleasant situations and events. Edgar Allen Poe died in 1849 when he was 40 years old. It is said that he was found dead after days of heavy drinking.
