Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. A warm welcome to you all to this reception. First, I’d like to say a few words about tonight’s programme.

A RED, RED ROSE
ROBERT BURNS
O, my love is like a red, red rose,
That is newly sprung in June.
O, my love is like the melody,
That is sweetly played in tune.
As fair are you, my lovely lass,
So deep in love am I,
And I will love you still, my Dear,
Till all the seas go dry.
Till all the seas go dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun!
O I will love you still, my Dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
And fare you well, my only Love,
And fare you well a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Although it were ten thousand mile!

听力原文： Although I think the United States generally has an excellent system of transporting people between cities that .are only a few hundred miles apart, a person commuting between Detroit and Chicago, or between san Francisco and Los Angeles, so-called strip cities, may spend only a relatively short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming as driving. Moreover, airplanes use a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. They simply are not fuel-efficient on short trips.
High-speed trains may be an answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called a "maglev", meaning a magnetically-levitated train.
Maglevs will not actually ride on the tracks, but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than one hundred fifty miles per hour. At that speed, conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. As you can see, maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future.

Ireland has a lot to offer the traveler besides its famously
green countryside and popular traditional music. It is rich on【M1】______
prehistoric and Medieval ruins, fine Georgian architecture,
and art. For those interested in literature, it is also the homeland
of a great deal of the English language's finest writers: Swift,【M2】______
Wilde, Shaw, Yeats, O'Casey, Beckett, Behan, and—most famous
of all—James Joyce. The Irish are intense proud of their writers, 【M3】______
and literary memorials are scattered all over the country, and
frequently visited.
Unlike Northern Ireland, about which we hear so often in the
news, the nation of Eire, that makes up most of the island, gained 【M4】______
its dependence formally in 1921 and completely separated from 【M5】______
the United Kingdom in 1949. Although memories of the long
struggle for independence are everywhere, but Ireland is also a very 【M6】______
modern nation. In the 1990s it experienced high-tech boom which 【M7】______
created widespread prosperity. In the aftermath of the dot-com bubble,
some of that prosperity have dwindled, and the Irish are struggling with 【M8】______
a declining economy; but the country is still presents a bright, modern 【M9】______
face to the world. It is a participating member of the European Monetary
Union, so we had our first chance to use Euros on this trip. Although
the bills are generic across the Union, coins have a reverse side
illustrating some aspect of their country of origin—in case of Ireland, 【M10】______
a Celtic harp.

After several launch delays, NASA officials overruled the concerns of engineers and ordered a liftoff on a cold morning, Jan. 28, 1986. The mission ended in tragedy. Challenger disintegrated into a ball of fire. The accident occurred 73 seconds into flight, at an altitude of 14020 meters and at about twice the speed of sound.
Strictly speaking, Challenger did not explode. Instead, various structural failures caused the spacecraft to break apart. Although Challenger disintegrated almost without warning, the crew may have briefly been aware that something was wrong. The crew cabin tore loose from the rest of the shuttle and soared through the air. It took almost three minutes for the cabin to fall to the Atlantic Ocean, where it smashed on impact, killing the seven crew members.
All shuttle missions were halted while a special commission appointed by President Reagan determined the cause of the accident and what could be done to prevent such disasters from happening again. In June I986, the commission reported that the accident was caused by a failure of O rings in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster. These rubber rings sealed the joint between the two lower segments of the booster. Design flaws in the joint and unusually cold weather during launch caused the O rings to allow hot gases to leak out of the booster through the joint. Flames from within the booster streamed past the failed seal and quickly expanded the small hole. The flaming gases then burned a hole in the shuttle's external fuel tank. The flames also cut away one of the supporting beams that held the booster to the side of the external tank. The booster tore loose and ruptured the tank. The propellants (火箭燃料) from the tank formed a giant fireball as structural failures tore the vehicle apart.
The commission said NASA's decision to launch the shuttle was flawed. Top-level decision makers had not been informed of problems with the joints and O rings or of the possible damaging effects of cold weather.
Shuttle designers made several technical modifications, including an improved O-ring design and the addition of a crew bail-out system. Although such a system would not work in all cases, it could save the lives of shuttle crew members in some situations. Procedural changes included stricter safety reviews and more restrictive launching conditions. The space shuttle resumed flying on Sept.29, 1988, with the launch of the redesigned shuttle Discovery.

34 to be very strong， and I have to say I found that the selection procedure really

38 and very different individuals？ The final decision was reached after a
39 day-long session of the tests， interviews and exercises. Garrard believes

Some of their most important photos are the ones of works of art that have since been destroyed. One example is a photo that we'll look at today. Would someone get the lights please？ Thanks. This slide is from a photograph of a painting by Edward Hopper called Corn Belt city. The painting was exhibited only two or three times before it was destroyed in a fire. Without the Julie photograph, no visual record of the work would exist.
Although the Julies mostly photographed the work of painters and sculptors, they also occasionally photographed architectural subjects. They did quite a few photos of buildings by John Russell Pope. And we're going to look at one of those next.
What did Peter Julie do for Georgia O'keefe？
A．He photographed her house.
B．He photographed her paintings.
C．He gave her advice on photography.
D．He gave her advice on painting techniques.
听力原文：W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices？
M: Well, the official work day starts at 9:00 a.m. This should really mean 9 o'clock -- not ten past nine.
W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America？
M: In America one is being paid for his or her time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are
clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle, or doing nothing.
W: Yes, as the saying goes: "time is money".
M: Exactly. Your employer "owns" your time while he is paying you for it. And anyway the boss doesn't ask more of you than he
is doing himself: he... he will probably work through the lunch hour himself and even take work home at night.
W: Er... could you say something about contracts of hiring in America, please？
M: Well, it's different in America from, say Europe, I'm not sure. We are more democratic. It means perhaps that we won't
develop such a permanent relationship between employer and employee.
W: You mean that your employer can just fire you in America.'？
M: No, no, no. There are, of course, legal protections in the USA. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reason.
W: Oh, talking about coffee breaks.
M: Ha-ha, nearly all offices have mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffee breaks. But you should remember that although 15
minutes are allowed twice a day for relaxation and chatter, many employees take coffee to their desks and keep on working.

A．At half past eight.
B．At half past nine.
C．At nine o'clock.
D．At ten o'clock.
