| [13:19.620] | Farmington,Utah,is a more pleasant community since a local girls'4-H club improved Main Street. |
| [13:27.760] | Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds,rocks and trash.6 |
| [13:36.150] | Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot,five flats of flowers. |
| [13:42.560] | They also took terms in watering,weeding and maintaining the plot. |
| [13:47.280] | Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; |
| [13:54.680] | they've learned how to work with tools,and improve their work habits. |
| [14:00.130] | One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project,she would not even pour a weed. |
| [14:06.700] | The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, |
| [14:10.890] | and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. |
| [14:16.700] | City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, |
| [14:21.820] | building cooking facilities,pick-me tables,swings and public rest rooms. |
| [14:27.500] | The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. 4-H |
| [14:33.270] | The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. |
| [14:37.960] | Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, 4-H |
| [14:43.320] | because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work. |
| [14:47.650] | The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. |

| [16:37.760] | According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S.National Education Association(NEA), |
| [16:45.860] | young Americans say reading is important,more important than computers and science. |
| [16:52.570] | Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. |
| [17:00.080] | 79% find it stimulating and interesting.And 87% think it is relaxing.79% |
| [17:07.660] | About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. |
| [17:15.770] | Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. |

| [17:27.900] | Over 66% of teens like to read fiction,such as novels and stories. |
| [17:34.400] | Over 26% are interested in non-fiction,such history books. |
| [17:40.440] | 64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. |
| [17:46.510] | That's a favorite topic.Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. |

| [19:54.020] | Passage 3 |
| [19:55.820] | Thank you for coming, everyone. |
| [19:57.660] | Today's presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, |
| [20:06.110] | and that is why we have invited all of you here today. |
| [20:08.790] | Let's start with power.It's clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. |
| [20:14.890] | Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, |
| [20:19.200] | powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. |
| [20:23.340] | Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. |
| [20:28.620] | But as we all know,of all these alternative fuel vehicles,the most practical are electric vehicles. |
| [20:35.590] | Sure,in the past electric vehicles have their problems,namely, |
| [20:40.310] | a limited driving range,and very few recharging points,which limited their use. |
| [20:45.620] | Now,however,recent developments in electric vehicle technology |
| [20:50.270] | mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. |
| [20:56.120] | Let's not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. |
| [20:59.650] | Plus,importantly,the power source is rechargeable,so this does not involve using any valuable resources. |
| [21:07.540] | Moving on to communications,very soon,cars will be linked to GPS satellites,so they'll do all the driving for you. |
| [21:16.160] | What controls remain for the users will be audio-based,so,for example,you'll just have to say "a bit warmer", |
| [21:24.800] | and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. |
| [21:28.030] | You'll also be able to receive email, music and movies,all via an internet link. |
| [21:34.320] | So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie,whatever. |
| [21:41.120] | Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard. |
| [21:47.740] | Q33. What is the presentation mainly about? |
| [22:08.350] | Q34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles? |
| [22:29.210] | Q35. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today? |

| [19:54.020] | Passage 3 |
| [19:55.820] | Thank you for coming, everyone. |
| [19:57.660] | Today' s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, |
| [20:06.110] | and that is why we have invited all of you here today. |
| [20:08.790] | Let' s start with power. It' s clear that petroldriven engines have no future. |
| [20:14.890] | Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, |
| [20:19.200] | powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. |
| [20:23.340] | Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. |
| [20:28.620] | But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. |
| [20:35.590] | Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, |
| [20:40.310] | a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. |
| [20:45.620] | Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology |
| [20:50.270] | mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. |
| [20:56.120] | Let' s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. |
| [20:59.650] | Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. |
| [21:07.540] | Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they' ll do all the driving for you. |
| [21:16.160] | What controls remain for the users will be audiobased, so, for example, you' ll just have to say " a bit warmer", |
| [21:24.800] | and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. |
| [21:28.030] | You' ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. |
| [21:34.320] | So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever. |
| [21:41.120] | Questions 3335 are based on the passage you have just heard. |
| [21:47.740] | Q33. What is the presentation mainly about? |
| [22:08.350] | Q34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles? |
