W: [1]Mr. David Jackson, a staff writer at the New Yorker, is known for his nonfiction books of adventure. Today we go on a different kind of adventure, Jackson
s life of parenting, his offspring, David, as a parent of an 11 and a 14-year-old, what is the most interesting issue you are dealing with right now?
M: It\"s easy to focus on the challenges. [2]But so far, I find these ages to be kind of wonderful. They are independent, and they have their own curiosities and obsessions. You can talk to them about fairly sophisticated subject matter such as politics.
M: Certainly with writing they do. [3]1 really just try to be encouraging. I think at this age, editorial guidance is less important than encouragement.
W: Are there books that you think are important that your children read and that all children read?
M: My general thought is to read widely and to incorporate a love for reading, learning to love to read, I think, is the
optimal thing, because it gives you a skill you can take anywhere.
W: So you\"re not too concerned like some parents with the content they\" re reading. I know I have some worries about that.
W: [4]I feel that children\"s tastes in books change as they reach adolescence. I know that mine certainly did when I was a teenager. What do you think?
M: I think it\"s especially important as they get older to read subject matter that will open their eyes to the world and people. So, I think both fiction and nonfiction are really important, because they give you the power to begin to perceive the world through the lives of others.

W[6] I sell specialty clothes through a website, mainly for women who have trouble finding suitable clothes in main street shops because of their height or weight. But 1 do some men\"s clothes too.
M: How did you get started in this business at such a young age?
Are you studying fashion design?
W: Actually. I\"m majoring in finance, but l\"ve always loved clothes. I started making my own at 14.
M: Did you have any sort of training in design or sewing? Or was it a natural ability?
W: I\"d have to say no to both. No one taught me to make clothes.And most of the things I made at first were disasters.
M: Why did you persevere? I think most people would give up if they kept failing, especially at that age.
M: Well. My notes say you earned $50,000 in profits last year,extraordinary amount for a 20-year-old student. How did that happen? Did you see a gap in the market and decide to fill it?
M: What are your plans for the future? Do you intend to open a physical store?
W: [8] No, I\"ll keep things online to keep costs down, but I will add more clothes for children, both girls and boys, and possibly even for infants. And I hope to add to my range of designs for men.

Passage 2
A recent study overturned what we think we know about lying. Most of us have a theory about how to tell if someone is telling a lie. We may develop that theory from observations of those people, we know well and see regularly. But we tend to
generalize what we gather from that unscientific daily research and make it a universal theory. [Q12:So we might imagine that liars have evasive eyes or the opposite, they simply stare at you, or perhaps it is more generally nervous behavior we associate with lies.
That\"s well established over many studies and lots of attempts by researchers to work out, reliable ways to detect lies. It\"s even relatively easy to fool, lie detectors. The gold standard of lie detection by training
yourself in breathing techniques and symptom suppression. Is there any way to get better at detecting lies? [Q15: The new research offers somesurprising advice, stop looking and listen instead. It turns out that if we\"reunable to see the face, but rather focus on the voice of the person in
question. Our accuracy rate improves considerably.] Question 12 According to the passage, how do most people detect lying?
Question 13 What does the passage say about most lies?
Question 14 What have many studies uncovered about the average persons lie detection?
Question 15 What advice does the new research offer regarding lie detection?
Recording Two
This question has been answered recently in a study
published in a business journal. [20] One of the two key factors the research team discovered is sameness, specifically sharing the same gender or ethnic origin. The more members of a team share similar demographics, the more inclined they\"ll be to remain
associates long after the team has served its purpose. After ties are established, similarity strengthens them. As a result, they regard these individuals with greater trust and mutual understanding, which motivates them to seek further opportunities for collaboration. In effect, people tend to create
stronger and longer lasting connections with similar others. Someone who looks and sounds different from us may have the resources we need to be more successful. Yet we find them to be significantly less credible, simply because they are different. If you are a fierce advocate of workplace diversity, you\"ll no doubt be horrified by such a revelation.
[20]The second factor identified by the researchers is the quality of the relationships among the team members. The more they trust one another, share the same goals, and depend on each other for the achievement of those goals, the stronger their chances of maintaining their connections, despite no longer working as one team. Teams with quality relationships, a shared belief that it\"s safe to take risks with each other, and that members are obliged to share the workload and help out.
From personal experience. I can see both the truth and the inconsistency of such studies. The truth is some of my closest friendships were formed as a result of having worked together on teams. And I actively seek opportunities to work with them again.
Questions, 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have justheard.
Question 19. What does the speakers say about a team with vitality?
Question 20. What do the researchers find out about members of a team?
Question 21. What do we learn about the team the speaker is currently working in?
Recording 3
These were thriftiness, confidence, responsibility, planning, focus, and social indifference.
Having confidence is another key characteristic, as it helps people to be thrifty.
It takes confidence to live within your means.
It also takes confidence to invest properly, instead of making investing decisions with your emotions.
(23) Financial planners advise that you should leave your investments alone and focus on a long term investment plan.
Many millionaires take on personal responsibility and most also happen to be self-made,meaning they didn\"t acquire their wealth through luck.
Millionaires don\"t count on anyone else to make them rich. (24) And they don\"t blame anyone else, if they fall short.
They focus on things they can control and align their daily habits to the goals they have set for themselves.
They tend to be goal oriented and hard workers, which enables them to plan financially and focus on seeing those plans through.
92% of the millionaire surveyed, developed a long term plan for their money. And 97% almost always achieved the goals they set for themselves.
And it is these behaviors that make it easy for them to be socially indifferent.
(25)They resist lifestyle creep, the tendency to spend more whenever one earns more.
Essentially they don\"t yield to pressure to buy the latest thing or to keep up with others or
what they have acquired instead of being focused on what might make them happy today,
they\"re focused on their long term wealth building plan. Q23. How does confidence help people to be thrifty? Q24.How do millionaires react when they fail in their investment?
Q25.Why does the speaker say millionaires are socially indifferent? 星火英语版:

04翻译部分 翻译赵州桥
赵州桥建于隋朝,公元605年左右,长50.82米,宽9.6米,跨度37.37米。天才建筑师李春设计并监督了桥的建设。赵州桥结构新颖、造
型优美。桥有一个大拱,在大拱的两端各有两个小拱,帮助排泄洪水、减轻桥梁重量并节省石材。建成以来,该桥经受了多次洪水和地震,但其主体结构仍然完好无损,至今仍在使用。赵州桥是世界桥梁建筑史上的一项创举,是中国古代文明史上的一项杰出成就。类似设计的桥梁直到14世纪才在欧洲出现,比赵州桥晚了700多年。
