My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent child hood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say," You can never go home again."

听力原文: (29) If you watched the Closing Ceremony of the Barcelona Olympic Games, then you'd surely remember the enchanting voice of British singer Sarah Brightman, who sang the 1992 Olympic anthem "Amigos Para Siempre" with Jose Carreras.
Sixteen years later, her voice was heard once again at an abandoned factory-turned-movie studio in the outskirts of Beijing with less than four days to go until the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Inside this worn studio, the music video for the Beijing Olympic theme song "You and Me" was being secretly filmed with Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman as the lead singers.
(30) Although this will be Brightman's second time singing the theme song for an Olympic Games, her dedication and excitement still remain strong. She was shocked at having been invited to sing in Beijing, not quite believing that she received the honor of performing an Olympic theme song again. Under the instruction of the music video's director, Brightman tirelessly repeated scene after scene without any complaints.
Regarding the style. of the theme song, Brightman described it as sweet, natural, pure, beautiful and very different from the theme songs of past Olympic Opening Ceremonies. (31) When she heard "You and Me" for the first time, she was moved to tears by its graceful yet simple melody and honest lyrics.
Although "You and Me" is very different from the boundless and majestic style. of "Amigos Para Siempre", there is still some common ground between the two. Brightman noted that both songs have a common theme—unity, people from around the world closely joining together.
29. Which Olympic Games did Sarah Brightman join except Beijing Olympic Games?
30.How did Sarah feel about her second time singing the theme song for an Olympic Games?
31.How does Sarah feel about the theme song "You and Me"?
(30)
