听力原文：TUTOR: Right. Are we all here？ OK. As you know, today Vivien is going to do a 【Example】

presentation on the hat-making project she did with her class during her last

teaching practice. So, over to you, Vivien.

VIVIEN: Thanks. Um... Mr Yardley has asked me to describe to you the project I did as

a student teacher at a secondary school in London. I was at this school for six 【Q31】

weeks and I taught a variety of subjects to a class of fourteen-year-old pupils. 【Q32】

The project I chose to do was a hat-making project and I think this project

could easily be adapted to suit any age. So, to explain the project...

After we'd done the research, we went back to the classroom to make two

basic hat shapes using rolls of old wallpaper. We each made, first of all, a

conical hat by... er... if I show you now.., cutting out a circle and then 【Q33】

making one cut up to the centre and then.., er... overlapping the cut like this

this.., a conical hat that sits on your head. The other hat we made was a little

more complicated.., er... first of all we cut out a circle again.., like this...

then you need a long piece with flaps on it - I've already made that bit which I

have here - you bend the flaps over and stick them.., with glue or prittstick... 【Q34】

to the underside of the circle.., like this. Again, I've prepared this so that I

don't get glue everywhere. The pupils do, of course, so you need plenty of covers

for the table. And there you have a pillbox hat as in pill and box. Now variations

and combinations of these two hat shapes formed the basis of the pupils' final

designs.

The next stage of the project was the design phase and this involved, first of all, 【Q35】

using their pages of research to draw a design of their hat on paper. That's the

easy part. They then had to translate their two-dimensional design into a form

to fit their head. I encouraged them to make a small-scale, three-dimensional 【Q36】

hat first so that they could experiment with how to achieve the form. they

required and I imposed certain constraints on them to keep things simple. For

example, they had to use paper not card. Paper is more pliable and easier to

handle. They also had to limit their colours to white, grey or brown shades of 【Q37】

paper which reflected the colours of the buildings they were using as a model

for their hats and they had to make sure their glue didn't show!

Well, it was very enjoyable and just to give you an idea of what they

produced, I've brought along three hats to show you. This one here is based on 【Q38】

a circular stairway in an old building in London. It uses three pillbox hats one

on top of the other. This was designed by Theresa. Here's another one that has 【Q39】

other people wear.

For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.

One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils (面纱) to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion.

The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.

The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.

Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽沿) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you______ .

A．should know the ways to study other lands

B．should know the four big reasons given in the passage

C．may study the different types of clothing people wear

D．may be surprised by the ways people wear hats

evil, but not always. Sometimes the words are used differently. White hats and black hats represent the traditional meaning of the words. The hats are symbols of the good guys and the bad guys in American western movements. White hats and black hats had a real purpose in the early days of motion pictures. The early movies were made with no sounds. So the movie directors put a white hat on the hero and a black hat on his opponent, the bad guy in the story. A black sheep is a person who does things that are not accepted, that violate tradition. A black sheep is rejected because he brings shame to his group. A family may have a member who is thought of as a black sheep, a person who is not welcome at family gatherings.

Black is also used in some expressions that describe good things. Feeling in the black, for example, is a good situation for anyone. It is a business expression. It means that the company is earning money. The store that makes profit is in the black. The expression comes from the color of ink that is used in the books that record a company's profits or losses. Profits are written in black ink, losses are written in red. So when someone says his business is in the red, he means it is losing money.

White usually means something good. A white-collar job, for example, is the kind of job many people seek. It is a job where you work at the desk, using your brain instead of your muscles. Usually white-collar jobs pay more than blue-collar jobs. These jobs are where you don't use your muscles. Sometimes white is used in an expression that is not good. Whitewash is such an expression. At first whitewash meant to paint over something with white paint, making it look better but now whitewash has different meaning, to hide or cover up mistakes or falls. A newspaper might report, for example, that the investigation of the train accident is a whitewash because investigators did not really try to discover who was responsible.

Some expressions use black and white together. Someone may say to you that your proposal sounds all right but he wants to see it in black and white. He wants to see your proposal in writing, black ink on white paper. Some people are said to see things only in black and white. Now this expression, black and white, represent opposite extremes, with no middle ground between them. Most issues in the world are not so simple as black and white. One side of an issue is not all white or good and the other side is not all black, wrong or evil. In the real world there are many gray areas where black and white are mixed to represent the true situation.

The movie directors used a white hat to show the hero and black hat his opponent in

A．early movies.

B．early soundless movies.

C．modern movies.

D．movies with sounds.
